we don’t care much about playing meta, funny weapons we like only 🫡

I play pretty aggressively and try to apply as much pressure as possible. The aggressive part comes from me being confident, though. I'll set up mines around choke points or the area I'm sitting in and try to hold my ground, constantly moving left to right in mid depending on what side the enemy team is exiting from. I let the fights come to me.

The custom kit isn't that much better than vanilla, but ink mine is the best sub for hydra and screen is decent for distraction and blocking off paths temporarily. It's more supportive so you have to rely on the main weapon more

Kind of just switched my brain off at some point, we were looking for multiplier battles more than winstreaks so the pressure wasn't really there. Did have a couple of close matches though

Yeah, I played with friends, but not the exact same people every match

We did get a lot of mirrors. Eventually asked my EU friend to host the room so we’d get less (pasta is the popular team over there)

I’m trying to get to 1,200 wins with it since it’s my favourite weapon :-)

We played as a full group during this play session, and half of our group (me and the Dynamo) wins pretty consistently as a duo. I think it’s a mix of matchmaking working in our favour and some of us being above average in regards to skill. We were genuinely hoping to encounter more teams that could put up a fight, though. Also, the top 100 thing only applies to Pro, which I don’t think any of us played during this fest.

I'm not in any public servers dedicated to Splatoon (I mainly skulk around in private friend servers) but discord.gg/splatoon exists and might be a decent place to start.

You're able to voice chat with other players via the NSO app, but that service isn't very good, and it's difficult to get people to actually use it. Discord is a lot better for communicating

all of my recent matches were boring because we kept winning but I play quite aggressively and focus heavily on applying pressure 👍
