A stunning result for the first round of v2.2 Splatfests
Results from the weekend's Splatfest competition:
North America: Pirates 382, Ninjas 318 28-72, 59-41 At Moray Towers, the Ninja side put up two world records: Largest popularity result, and biggest losing margin. The pirates, outnumbered more than 2-1, struck back with a vengeance when the Ninja side wasn't involved in civil wars - which nearly half the Ninja team was at any one time. Even under pre-2.2 scoring, the final would have been 264-236. One observer who went 31-17 on the day for the Pirates suggested that the Ninja side should've done a better job conserving their ninjutsu.
Japan: Love 353, Money 347 47-53, 51-49 At Blackbelly Skatepark, a narrower result ensued as a slight popularity bump was completely wiped out by a slight victory for Huey Lewis in the battles. The win for Callie's side leaves Marie in dire straights, as she is now 2-5 in both Japan and North America.
Europe and Australia will face off next week to determine if Callie sweeps another round, with the duel of Zombies v Ghosts. Authorities are investigating why this competition didn't take place on Hallowe'en.
