Splatoon

Final results: the underrated geek won over the popular hardass!

【オクト】彼女はDedf1sh(デッドフィッシュ)。
将来を有望視されていたDJだったが、理想の音楽を追求した結果、地下の実験施設に足を踏み入れて「消毒」されてしまった。
自らの意思は失いながら、今もなおビートを刻み続け、施設内には彼女のミックスが流れている。

【Octo】 She is Dedf1sh (Deadfish).
Although it was a DJ who was regarded as promising for the future, as a result of pursuing ideal music, she stepped into the underground experimental facility and was "disinfected".
While losing her will, she continues to keep beating still, and her mix is flowing in the facility.
 
Just stoppin' by to mention that y'all didn't believe me on the Annie thing or the Callie thing and look where we are now.
 
I thought Callie would be important to adding Octolings until the expansion reveal. But I didn't know some of the things said about Octarians in interviews (lore only revealed in interviews is the worst, ugh).
 
I'm surprised no one mentioned these characters in the Octo Expansion in this thread?

If anyone is willing to tell me who they are, spill it.
 
The Sea Cucumber on the bottom is C.Q. Cumber, he had his bio added somewhere in the past few pages.

The other two are unknown.
 
Everyone besides C.Q. Cumber and Iso Padre is entirely there for aesthetic.
 
So no ideas on the medusal woman or the living eel yet, eh?
 
No, as in, they don't do anything at all. Like, confirmed they do nothing.

The lady next to the eel is a ping pong sponge so there's that.
 
We're getting a stage and new weapons! I hit the pic limit so a couple of spoilers are kinda short.

The Custom Dualie Squelchers provide great mid to long range attack. They have the same stats as vanilla Dualie Squelchers, but can keep opponents in check with the Splat Bomb sub, and support allies on the front lines with the Ink Storm special! According to Sheldon, this set is for true playmakers – those tacticians who want to boost the effectiveness of their teammates for maximum inkage!

The Rapid Blaster Pro Deco is a Rapid Blaster Pro emblazoned with decorations from professional…decorationer-ers! The Splash Wall sub lets you push out the front lines and set up shop, and the Ink Armor special gives teammates the courage they need to join you in the heat of battle! We’d recommend it for aggressive players who can manage their range.

The Undercover Sorella Brella brings all the specs of the original with a snappy new design! Pin back the opposition with Splat Bombs, then close the distance and go toe to toe! You can also pop the Baller special and roll your way right into the heart of enemy turf! Sheldon recommends this set for players that want to live out their dreams of being an action-movie star!

The Carbon Roller Deco is a Carbon Roller specially decorated by top designers. Burst Bombs enable you to quickly finish off wounded opponents, and the Autobomb Launcher allows you to gain control of giant areas of turf. Recommended for players who like making big messes in a short amount of time.
 
Just ran into one too.

Everyone booyah'd at the beginning, but one of them sounded extremely off and I was like 'haha wait what' and sure enough. A filthy filtherson

It personally doesn't bother me. It's just aesthetic, not like they're affecting actual matches.
 
Twitter doesn't give direct URLs for gifs or videos... twitter embed doesn't work properly for twitter threads...

Fine whatever AN ACTUAL PONYTAIL

Awww yes, my wish for the Octolings to have hairstyles has come true.

Also... is that an afro?
 
IT'S STILL SPRING

OCTO EXPANSION RELEASES JUNE 13TH, 2018!
 
WELL FUCK.
HERE I AM WITHOUT A SWITCH OR SPLATOON 2
I was hoping to get both before the expansion dropped (so I could see pure Inkling matches before Octolings came in)
But eh, oh well.
That's rad.
 
Y'ALL

Good news! We at the Squid Research Lab had previously mentioned that game updates would end this July, but we are happy to announce that free updates to gear, weapons and stages will continue through the end of 2018!

Looking for the new freshness in Inkopolis Square? Tako look at the new Octoling amiibo, coming as a 3-pack this year!

Splatoon 1 had one year of content updates and two years of Splatfests. They originally told us Splatoon 2 would have the same schedule. I'm not surprised at all they extended it though, since S2 has sold so much better (simply by virtue of being on a console that actually sold) and now they want to push DLC sales.
 
Octo Expansion is out, there are Octolings in my Plaza and I am bitter.
 
Welp, I stayed up way too late unlocking octolings. I didn't even really plan to, I figured the stated goal was too easy and wanted to see what would happen. I wasn't prepared...
for the cinematic experience. It gave me the "Imagine Inkopolis" button in the pause menu so it probably saved, but it feels right to complete the whole part in one session.

Iso Padre gives you some of the cool armors. But why Nintendo, why is the S2 Octoling Armor set Last-Ditch/Haunt/Shredder!? At least Object Shredder is good in certain builds.

Anyway, there's no exploration. But I've died way more than in Octo Canyon, it's a challenge. Mem Cake collectibles are largely silly and no replacement for Sunken Scrolls (they're mostly for Iso), but the chatlogs give good personality and background.

Also one of Pearl and Marina's new songs has a banjo in one part. I don't get it.
 
But it's only for like three notes!

I rally really hope Shark Bytes is a Splatfest song though.
 
Marina and Pearl have a different reaction to seeing you outside the newsroom window if you're an Octoling. Doesn't seem like there's any new dialogue from Marie or Callie, unfortunately. You can enter the grate as an Octoling but you emerge in Octo Canyon as an Inkling. :thinking:

I think I've gotten all the chatlogs, which means there are 10. That's... well, if each one is about 2 Sunken Scrolls, that's actually not far off from the amount of Scrolls. I wouldn't say all of them are worth 2 scrolls, though. The last one doesn't have very much, which is a shame 'cause it mentioned Grizzco which would be a great time to slip in one of the things said in an interview.

Also, between the interview and the chatlogs...
Marina was one of the most brilliant Octarian engineers. The devs said in an interview that Salmonids trade power eggs to Octarians for technology.

Marina could have invented Flyfish.
 
Well I finally beat the secret boss, that regrettable took awhile. The tokens you get from C. Q. Cumber are supper worth it as I was able to get 20000 gold and 14 skill drink tickets from 2 separate tokens out of like 8.

I really like this expansion, it gives Pearl and Marina alot more defined personalities and interesting backstories. Octolings, of course. Awesome ending story, and awesome challenges.
