Splatoon

I am ready to dissect all the Squid Sisters dialogue and go through another fashion crisis.
 
Ah ha ha, Sting Ray nerf.

Aw, hell yeah, Splash Wall buff (because I play Heavy Splatling Deco).
 
OHHH SNAP.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW EXCITED I AM!
 
Nintendo: Playable octolings, baby
Me: *snore*
Nintendo: New clothes
Me: I'm still salty from my last ranked match (3 months before) but you know me so well. I'm back.
 
I'm a little miffed that 3.0 is coming so soon. Wanted to see if I could make S+10 before rank X hit.

But I have a theory.

When rank X hits, all the people who were rank S+10 and up will be promoted to rank X, leaving behind all the people who weren't good enough for rank X. So if I just keep at it, I'll have a much easier time making it to rank X.
 
Multiplayer servers may be under maintenance, but..

Servers are getting pounded right now, but I managed to download 3.0.

...

Except I can't get into a lobby now.

Oh well, at least Callie is here.
 
Can octotroopers write using their tentacles?

I dunno Marie, THE POWER PLANTS!? They're really trying to sell Grizzco as an upcoming villain.

I guess Marie heard about Octo Expansion?

This kind of contradicts a bit of earlier characterization but... oh well, Splatoon won't acknowledge its own themes of conflict with any seriousness.

Nintendo delivers, all the new dialogue is so cute.

Okay, Pink Ink... four weapons got released as well as Camp Triggerfish for the 3.0 update. Who's doing which?
 
OH MY GOD

A special tournament-style Splatfest is coming to Splatoon 2! The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are rising up to take the stage, and it’s up to you to vote and battle for your favorite Turtle! Will you root for Raph? Lay down some ink for Leo? Make some noise for Mikey? Or dominate for Donnie?

The first of three Splatfest tournaments will pit Raph against Leo on 5/4-5/5, with the second on 5/11-5/12, featuring Mikey vs. Donnie, and the final match between the winners takes place on 5/18-5/19. Which brother will be crowned the most bodacious?

The first round of the @tmnt Splatfest features Raph vs. Leo and oozes into action 5/4 at 9pm PT!
 
Three weeks of ad Splatfests. Yuck.
 
Yeah. They did that in Splatoon 1 too. But hey, at least it's a unique type of Splatfest. I wasn't expecting a tournament. And it's probably the first time that a Splatfest has happened over just one weekend.
 
Why would you not be team Raph?
He’s always the most consistent in being well written.

I just wish they didn’t use the shitty new Nickelodeon cartoon designs. No, not the cg cartoon, the NEW one.
 
...I guess that explains that.

True, but he's the definition of "strongest member but never leader because he lacks heart". I think there was 2003 TMNT episode that covered it up. But I'll go with Donnie.
 
The reason why Raph is always written so well is because the 'angry new yorker ' stereotype will always be in, and give him a softer side that comes wants to do good and boom you have an interesting character.

Though I too will be voting for Donnie as of the 4 he's typically the one that gets shit done and is pretty much consistently the strongest character in the games. Not only that but him and Raph are the only two that act like normal, like compared to Leo's 'insufferable' levels of bland and Mikey's 'insufferable' levels of childishness (don't get me wrong they have there moments, like when Mikey does get serious/sad is usually handled well).
 
So they decided to have a TMNT splatfest during May and not April? Missed opportunity there Nintendo.

The May one should've been Sol v Ky - if Nintendo could reason with Arcsys and Team Red.
 
Also I went an replayed the DJ Octavio fight and there's some new dialogue.
 
New Grizzco mystery weapon in two days.

【Octo】 Deep sea Metro passengers ... they can say that, they are sticking everywhere, such as walls and floors.
It is strange how to get on and off the train.

Grizzco Charger is now available, go play Salmon Run!
 
Looks like getting to Rank X won't be as tough as I thought.

Have your meter broken in S+ will only rank you down one level instead of booting you back to S+0.

Which is good. That shit was annoying.
 
It's been a five-level reduction for a while now. One-level sounds really tame.
 
Oh, guess I've never been to S+5 to notice.

But yeah, went from S+2 to S+1.

【Octo】 This is "chat log".
You can see the history of the chat rooms that the two of Tentacles watched from the ground and the watching the escape plays of Atarime will kill time.
From unbearable conversation, it seems that you can learn about Hime and Ida, and personality of Atarime command.

【オクト】これは「チャットログ」。 8号とアタリメの脱出劇を地上から見守っているテンタクルズのふたりが暇つぶしに作ったチャットルーム、その履歴を見ることができる。 他愛のない会話の中から、ヒメとイイダ、そしてアタリメ司令の人となりを知ることができそうだ。

And merry-go-rounds
 
So a few things have been floating around my plaza. But apparently some people are hacking the game to play as Octolings again.

I'm not sure if this is true or not. Has anyone else come across it?
 
I know people hacked the game and posted videos of the Octoling victory poses on youtube.

Haven't seen an Octoling in multiplayer.
