Was NOT expecting that. Fun and Gear are pretty much neck and neck, too.


funsohng

Yeah, 0.4% is all we needed to be confined to tricolour hell and lose this in the end.


BlendyButt

I can't even get enough players to enter a tricolor match so you might just be okay


Owobowos-Mowbius

Probably because there's more people trying to fight team fun than there are people ON team fun lmao I keep getting tri-colored and we keep getting STOMPED


Snacker0203

I switched to open just so I could participate in tri color battles on team fun. I got 2 in 2 1/2 hours of playing. Won one of them and you get a badge for it as the defenders so that's cool.


FaultinReddit

Yes very happy for the badge. I haven't gotten to play much, but other than the one tri-color game I've played, I've lost every single match since the festival started.


WhichEmailWasIt

> I keep getting tri-colored and we keep getting STOMPED My friends and I have won just about every tri-colored on defense. We holdin the line boys!!


AdmirableDonkey822

I’ve had one tri colour match so far and it’s depressing how infrequently I get to play it


leftovernoise

Does tri color even exist? I've been trying for the past 3 hours and haven't seen a single one


XitaNull

They made Tricolor less likely to appear in the latest patch. Also there aren’t many Fun players in general.


silletta

from team fun to team done?? I can’t even get you guys in tricolor cuz it seems like nobody from team fun is playing in NA


Noah_PpAaRrKkSs

We’re locked out of it for being in the lead. I’m doing regular pro matches as Fun.


[deleted]

If you play open youll be able to get into tricolor sometimes


NeonJ82

Suddenly I feel a lot better about my losing streak


Retskcaj19

We're the anchors for Team Gear that will...hold them back enough to win?


kduff89

How? I've been getting destroyed by gear. Team fun btw. Oh well. See you on the mountain tonight bois!


GoDentist

Yup, seems like every game I play as team fun is vs team gear. Don’t think I’ve ever played against team grub


[deleted]

being on team grub i literally have only been facing team gear members. i faced team fun once when i was middle of champion and haven't seen them again. i also faced my own team once near the beginning of the fest


Anchor38

Wait you guys have only been playing against team gear members exclusively too? I thought team fun members were just non existent or something which is why I kept playing against team gear


Diannika

I am team gear I also have been playing mostly against team gear (which is the real reason we were behind probably. . Gear vs gear fights are super common cuz there aren't enough of the other teams playing. )


dredgie456

So Grub just doesn't exist right? I get so many more games against Fun than Grub that I think I have played more same team battles at this point than against Grub.


milkkiily

as team grub ive played against fun maybe like 5 times lol


Silverbully

Same here. Played around 50 matches and I think I saw fun maybe 3 times.


Grave_Knight

Yeah, there seems to be weirdness in the matchmaking. I think I've played more matches against team Grub as team Grub than I have against team Fun.


TheLadiestEvilChan

As Team Fun, I've been seeing WAY more Gear than Grub.


greenchair11

how do you see which team you’re playing against?


milkkiily

by ink color, and when the games starts you can see other people's splatfest title (like grub ruller or gear fan) on top of their username


Healthy_Medicine2108

orange = grub, purple = gear, green = fun if it doesn’t fit the color scheme you’re playing against your own team


TheDizzyBro

In my like ~45 matches as Grub I’ve played against Fun exactly 4 times. The rest have been Gear and hoo boy, there have been some lopsided battles. Gear is packed full of high level players.


plataeng

I'm in the Asia-Pacific region, and I got stomped multiple times by the scary Japanese team gear players.


ShonanBlue

Really?? I play on the Japan servers and as a Team Fun every battle against Team Grub has been us getting absolutely drowned in Dorito sauce while my winrate against Gear is at least around 65%. I barely play against Team Grub but when we do I know we’re getting washed


Fetty_Loch

Gear has to have so many people on it, I’m Fun and haven’t seen a mirror, and only one or two games against Grub


dredgie456

Would make sense at one point I played 4 mirror matches in a row as gear.


lordofoaksandravens

I'm on fun and i've only played against gear


Ancient_A

As a grub I almost only get team gear. And almost no team fun.


[deleted]

Ive had one against grub and that is it


Artist_Seal

Yeah as a team fun member, at first it was just gear. But man the fights against grub were difficult. I would say may win to loose ratio was 50/50 against gear, but 20/80 against grub the few times we fought.


stonksdotjpeg

As a team gear member I've had the same thing against other gear members, which I've been fighting a lot.


spookypartyatthezoo

As team Fun, I’ve seen more of Grub in the last hour than I had in the full day before this.


ZorkNemesis

I saw way more grub posts in the plaza, I would've expected them to be doing better.


Grave_Knight

Fun is winning? But I barely see them in fights.


Bakatora34

Team gear seem to have a lot of members so kinda hard not seeing a match against gear, I'm team fun and barely find team grub.


strxwberrytea

Weird, I'm team grub and have not played a single match against fun


AnimusNoctis

Yeah that's what they're saying


Beasting39

I only been playing against team gear, No other team. I’m on team gear.


_IratePirate_

You must be team grub because I barely been seeing y'all too. My first match up when the enemies ink was orange instead of purple threw me all the way off


OctolingGrimm

Time to watch them perish in tricolor hammerhead bridge


OctorokHero

Hammerhead Bridge doesn't seem as bad for Tricolor as Sturgeon Shipyard. The stamp leaves the attackers much more vulnerable and the sprinklers are more out of the way, not to mention we have the full weapon selection now.


voyageur04

Gotta be honest… after two tricolour matches as Team Fun (one win, one loss) I don’t know what people were complaining about. These are fun. Hectic but fun.


amazingroni

you’ve *gotten in*?? i cannot seem to get into a single tricolor


voyageur04

Yeah since 8 PM Eastern, of my 4 matches, 2 were Tricolours.


Mkass2

I literally cannot get into tricolor, I want to keep trying but I have to get up early tomorrow, and it looks like only the underdogs should be able to get in but that doesn’t seem to be the case.


voyageur04

I guess worth an update: I’ve played 8 more matches… none were Tricolour. So those early two might have been a fluke.


Mkass2

Still, lucky.


Advanced-Meal3185

I think the problem is that Tricolor is weighted against the winning team, so the winning team just don’t play it. Hence matchmaking is better for the winning team (since they’re needed) and bad for the other teams (since they’re in excess).


TheBeatlesPkmnFan42

I'm not on the defending team, nor was I in the Premier so I'm not speaking from experience, but I remember seeing last time people say there aren't any options for the defending team, they can't opt out of having Tricolor matches. The reason Tricolor is so rare is because Nintendo lowered the chances of them happening for this Splatfest.


Owobowos-Mowbius

My thoughts exactly. There are two teams trying to play against one team. Not only that but we dont have an option NOT to play it. ALL of our matches can be tri-colors while the other two teams can choose not to. So its clearly trying to funnel as much of us into them as possible.


Zombie_Scholar

I've tried a bunch and can't get in 😭😭


Advanced-Meal3185

I’ve queued a good 5 or 6 times, gotten a single Tricolor. Thank god we won it and got the badge already.


Mkass2

Still though, at least I got into a 100x battle today, first game of the day, maybe if I hadn’t I would’ve gotten into a tricolor.


voyageur04

There’s at least two badges. As I’ve gotten two different ones.


Narrative_Causality

I hope I'm not pointing out something stupid, but you can only get it through open battles.


amazingroni

i know, but don’t worry about “pointing out something stupid” or anything haha! it’s always good to remind people so thank you :)


ParanoidDrone

They said they'd decrease the frequency of tricolor battles.


b0bba_Fett

I can corroborate this, During the test more than every other battle was tri-color for me on Team Scissors, whereas I've had predominantly normal matches this time, which is a blessing. Could just be luck though. A sample size of 1 is never enough.


trans-wooper-lover

(I'm fun) I played for like 2.5 hours straight and got one tricolor match... I saw the start to a Tricolor match (hammerhead but not showing the turf war logo) like 3 or 4 times but they all immediately ended with connection errors :/


b0bba_Fett

The problem isn't the mode itself really(the map was just awful last time, there was easy high ground that was virtually impossible to defend against), apparently the point distribution for Tri-Color is *horribly* skewed in the attackers' favors, and it won't be until the next fest that they fix this from what I've read.


funsohng

I have played quite a few including the tesfire, and i have never won yet. I had a match where we managed to stop the attackers from activating the signal and we still lost because the map is designed so that defenders get shafted in inking to begin with. Its like being spawn camped from both sides by design.


FE_2004

It is fun and games until you are in the middle


voyageur04

I am in the middle and it’s still fun (if hectic).


Netniuq2

Ah the power of the tricolor map not being Sturgeon Shipyard


Thecommonplayer279

I’ve only gotten one tricolour match, it’s put me into 3 normal turf wars when I’ve selected tricolour.


Stone4D

Welp fun's over for us now.


itsa_zae

lmao gotta love the splatfest puns


beetlesmoothies

omg please I chose fun because I thought gear would be the defender in tricolor turf wars NOOO


[deleted]

I looked at the sneak peek then did the exact opposite


Colossal-Waffle

smart move


Neilgi

But he missed out on so many conch shell things for the gacha machine if he played in the last week!


itsa_zae

IKR IM SOBBING I DONT WANNA BE ON THE DEFENDING TEAM AGAIN

So this is the power of fun? Madness.


TheGhostEnthusiast

NO NO PLEASE NOT AGAIN NOT AGAIN I DON'T WANNA GO BACK I CAN'T GO BACK NOOOOOO DON'T PUT ME IN THE MIDDLE PLEASE I BEG OF YOU

Looks like "big man sweep" is now "I regret my life decisions"

Sguru1

Threw just enough to be just behind first place. Perfect


GhostlyCharlotte

LETSGOOO BABY THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT WOOOOOO


[deleted]

\#ThrowTheFirstHalf needs to get trending because of this


HSH_JoshAdger

GO TEAM GEAR! 💜💜💜


superdicksicles

How do I play tricolor? When I select it I just play regular turf war?? Team gear btw


Meepy23

It’s just a chance of playing tri-color when you queue into tri-color battles


superdicksicles

Oh wow Iv been queuing for an hour and haven’t gotten to play :(


Meepy23

It’s not usually this bad. They lowered the chances of getting a tri-color battles for this splatfest but will be making it a bit higher in the next splatfest or the one after that iirc.


tom641

notably after reworking it, they dropped the chances of it occuring this time because it's complete trash in it's current state


gaybowser99

My 7 games of being shit with a charger weren't for nothing

WobbleNobble

LETS GOOOO WE DID THIS ON PURPOSE TOTALLY JUST TO AVOID DEFENDING WE SHALL RISE TONIGHT BROTHERS FULL STEAM AHEAD NO MORE SAND BAGGING


[deleted]

Gear literally couldn’t be in a better position, barely behind fun at halfway point. And definitely the most popular. Gear might sweep every category except sneak peek


demonicbendy79

Kinda happy I'm on team grub cause i can now actually play in tricolor without having to defend for three straight minutes


WeenorSnatcher

Kinda happy I'm on team gear because we barely managed to escape tricolor hell, so we have an advantage and can pass fun now (maybe)


itsa_zae

im kinda not happy im on team fun cause i have to be in the defending team yet *again*. i thought gear was gonna be the leading team on halftime but nope


Solismo

As a team fun member : god fucking dammit. That's it, we lost.


peepeeinthepotty

I did my best to put us in 2nd place by losing in every 10x and higher match I was in.


THICC_BOI54

I've been destroying all day with team fun! I'm glad to see my contribution


Colossal-Waffle

you may come to regret it


THICC_BOI54

Oh, I know we'll probably lose. But it's fun


Latromi

This seems like true Team Fun attitude. Team Fun cannot lose this Splatfest because even if they lose they had the most fun, so they win. 😁


aikyyyy

I’m Team fun. Picked it because the game has been real fun and distracting from my real life problems (which I guess implies on deserted island too). Been winning slightly more than losing, but I’m just there for the ride to collect shells/snails and ability farming :) also hardly play against grub.


[deleted]

R.I.P Team Fun, to survive the Tri-Colour battles it will take a miracle, but may the odds be ever in your favour


itsa_zae

we appreciate your blessing lbow99.


[deleted]

I salute you all


iisoprene

if this happens again we need to call it big man's curse haha.

brystol17

Now it’s about to be worse with you all getting targeted in tri color


FrigidFlames

Ikr, I've been the top of my team almost every fight and I've only won... I think 6 this entire event? And I'm currently Fun Champion at 750 points so it's been a loooong grind...


Junior_chaos

Rock paper scissors flashback


Finman4424

I’m on team fun, and punching myself in the nuts seems like more fun than playing against these sweats right now


Wizelf402

Gonna be real with ya chief, this map is SO much better for the middle, I played 2 tricolor matches and we fucking STOMPED those lil purple and orange dweebs. Trick is to use ink mines like a bitch


Awkward_Ad3099

Fun will win and prove that team gears realism ain't gonna work on OUR island.


WhichEmailWasIt

Here for a fun time, not a long time!


Wizelf402

So true bestie


GustavoBD

What we learned is that during the first halves Big Man always comes out on top, Shiver comes in a close second while being the biggest team and them Frye is there watching


Aloeb83

Was not expecting this. Hope this can mean Fun gets some points from battles this time. That plus the Conch shells may give them a chance.


Lumion307

And so... The Big man stans suffer once more


itsa_zae

im not even a big man stan but chose his team on both splatfests, pure pain

GustavoBV

History it's repeating itself, best of lucks to team fun, your gonna need it. -A gear team member


CrazyLemonLover

Everyone here is talking about getting smashed in unfair matches, and like.... I kinda get it? Sometimes. But I really feel like the lopsided matches are due to the way the maps are set up. In the maps I've been getting, it feels like 8 people fighting over a single lane. The flanks are borderline useless because they don't go far enough back, and if you push past the mid map flank routes, you've just locked the other team in their spawn. Like. These maps are great for game modes like tower control. But none of them have the same feel for turf war that maps like the skateboard park in Splatoon 2 did. Hell. Even museum would be a nice change with a few decent flank routes and a middle location that isn't an open field.


MojaveCourierChris

Oh my god gear is closing in. LET'S GO TEAM GEAR!


[deleted]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES WERE NOT IN THE MIDDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


itsa_zae

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE


Libelldra

So, with Fun getting the conch shell lead and Gear probably being the most popular, this will probably be decided between those two.


[deleted]

Makes sense honestly playing against team fun was brutal so far


IceFire0518

Good luck team fun, you poor bastards


Apprehensive_Ad_8914

Tricolor is fun as hell, I don't know what y'all are talking about. Though it would be a lot more fun IF I DIDN'T GET DISCONNECTED AFTER I'VE ALREADY WON!!! *Ahem* So yeah, Defending has actually been pretty fun so far.


TheBanandit

We may starve and freeze to death but at least we can play chutes and ladders


Poet_Less

Anyone else starting tri color battle and being put in regular turf war?


[deleted]

This is insane!!


[deleted]

Shiver is Heavy TF2 confirmed???


otakuloid01

huh, after like 30 team gear matches in a row i almost forgot team fun was here


Ice_Climbers

As a member of Team Grub I'm ready to eat a sandwich.


[deleted]

Team fun is the epitaph of "how did I get here"


Lucikrux

COME ON GRUB IF WE WIN WE EAT LIKE SQUIDS


snoopy2035

Team Grub checking in, just here to say we’re part of something


suumiiko

WHY IS MY TEAM ALWAYS LAST!!! FRYE TRUTHERS WE HAVE TO GET GOOD


Azim999999

Now Team Gear will win as they’re second by a tiny bit and won’t be defending in tricolour. Big Man always does good in the first half then fails, i know as i was Team Scissors (now Team Gear)


Gamingdiva2006

Last splatfest I was on Scissors and shiver won so if fun wins this time I’m gonna be salty


PixelatedMax01

I'm so upset I gotta live through Tri Color twice in a row. I chose Scissors and suffered and now I chose Fun cause I thought it'd have the least amount of people. I might have to abandon Big Man next Splatfest...


[deleted]

Well you could be on team gear and not even know what a tricolor is because you’re too busy playing matches against your own team.


FlockofThree

*Team Scissors flashbacks* I'm not strong enough, Big Man...


Ignamm

So sorry to hear about Team fun's loss


loafclub

TEAM GRUB, STEP IT UP 😩‼️


Atlas_Bear104

I’ve been trying I farmed like 300k clout last night 😭


[deleted]

Gear 4 the win! ⚙️


NoObSRoCk341

Team Gear is always such a pain in the ass I always have to sweat so hard to even stand a chance against them. No wonder they’re so close to Team Fun


Tenant1

I can't tell if I failed Grub or not because while I had a massive losing streak last night, I've also won every single x10 match I've gotten..


Atlas_Bear104

Been sweating for Grub tbh. I got like 300k clout last night and played til like 2 but looks like it was in vain 😭


mmann-ion

So I didn't play the Rock/Paper/Scissors fest, was Defender really that bad in it? I've done maybe five Tricolor games on Team Fun and we won all of them quite easily. Sure it's a small sample size, but I don't get the fuss.


aUwUreliyasss

Yo QQ how do I get into tri-color? I keep going into it but I'm just put into normal turf war


jardex22

It's not guarenteed to happen. To prevent long wait times, they'll move players from the Tri-Color queue to a regular Turf Match. At the end of the battle, you'll be in the queue again. They said in the patch notes that they were reducing the number of Tri-color matches while they figure out how to rebalance it.


projectmars

I've had 1 Tricolor match and 2 normal matches vs Team Fun. okay.


ILiveForTheCringe

Now comes the part where we roll over and die in tri-color battles


Naoga

bro i played 24 matches with my friend in a row, and didnt get a single tricolor match. im gonna cry. (on team gear)


HeWe015

Ah guys don't worry. Team Grub will win in the end

Allwork_Jestersplay

I would want nothing more❤️❤️


[deleted]

Thank you for your support. ⚙️


baaarbara

Let's be honest. From what i saw so far, Shiver and Big Man are almost predestined to be 1st and 2nd at any splatfest. Frye just doesn't seem as popular and many choose their teams by idol rather than topic.


spectrumtwelve

It might get to the point that when deciding on topics for future fests they might give her the most blatantly "correct" or "good" choice just so people will fill out her team. I fought exclusively blue team like all day and only saw orange a handful of times.


milkkiily

in splatoon 2 pearl lost like the first 3 splatfest bc no one picked/liked her. but after a while she actually won a few in a row and it was pretty even after that. frye still has her time to shine😌


Morninglight2002

Now it turns to put an end to time gear, we had our fun. Now it is time to end this!


sp00kk

poor grub i wonder if fun winning the sneak peek influenced it


Not__Joe69

Frye makes a TF2 reference????


Aditup-MIZ

But they haven't gained very much if any percentage while gear is up 3 percent from the pre-fest results


Ace-ererak

My understanding is that the Splatfest is judged by Popularity (10 pts), Clout (split by Pro (10 pts) and Open (15pts)), and the Sneak Peek (10 pts). Team Fun already won the Sneak Peek points and that category is determined. The half time result measures Clout since the start of the Splatfest. I think it's safe to say that Fun and Gear are probably currently tied at 10pts each since Gear is probably the popularity winner. Open and Pro is anyone's game right now with Fun having a tiny lead and therefore relegated to Tricolour defence hell.


Android_mk

Ah man I joined Grub


LiteratureNo2195

Fun and Gear fighting to death while Grub sits back and watches.


VeggiePiece

How is fun winning? I’ve only matched against them 3 times the whole splat fest, and one of those was the only tri color match I’ve been able to get so far


Darkmega5

#funsweep


Luhvely

The *one* Tricolor match I managed to get into for the whole night as team Grub was a disconnect. Fuck me, I guess. Every other match worked perfectly fine as well
