Splatoon

Also, might be hard to see, but you can see Agent 3 in the initial launch trailer near the end.
I remember seeing her.
 
Well, Agent 3's not at the END. To clarify, this is the trailer and this is the Nintendo Direct preview. The trailer was Pearl and Marina's new song, which is about half "walking through the train" (with Agent 3 near the end of the train) and half in-game footage. I noticed her the first time, she wasn't in focus for that long but I recognized the suit immediately.

Oh yeah, should also note that the Direct footage has some dialogue where Pearl and Marina are talking to Cuttlefish through radio/walkie-talkie, but they don't seem to know him. On the JP site, they're also given the cover names MC Princess and DJ E-DA (based off Hime and Ida; I hope the localization still calls Pearl "Princess"). So... they might not be Agents 5 and 6? Now I'm assuming that Cuttlefish named you "Agent 8" because you're an octopus, and there is no mysterious Agent 7.
 
Hey, we have some info on Callie!

Once you meet a certain condition after the V.3.0 update, Callie of the Squid Sisters will appear in Tentakeel Outpost in Octo Canyon. Given how famous the Squid Sisters are in the Inkling world, this must be a good place to avoid being mobbed by fans. Callie will also offer recent news about Agent 4.

So... Let me get this straight. The Octo Expansion DLC is supposed to connect the interlinks of how the Inklings and Octarians will get along in peace. However... we all know that DJ Octavio can't be saved from his twisted desire to steal the Great Zapfish.

Which reminds me, is there a sunken scroll that describes ANYTHING on how corrupt Octavio is?
 
I don't have pictures right now, but for the past few days, the latest Plaza meme is saying you're gay, pan, bi, trans, or what have you and it's really beautiful.

Blessed plaza meme.

https://www.reddit.com/r/splatoon/comments/814h8d/famitsu_interview_with_splatoon_2_producer/ lots of interesting stuff in herr. I'll copy paste the details

  • MARINA CAN’T SUPERJUMP SO SHE USES THE TRAIN.(Clarification: the question was “If inklings superjump to maps that are geographically farther away, how does Marina travel? The initial answer was “she goes by train,” then later notes “she has a lot of luggage like her DJ set.” Whether or not she can’t or won’t superjump is vague.

  • Approximately only 1 in every 1000 players is S+40 to S+50 in Ranked.

  • Approximately 1 in every 10+ players is S+.

  • Approximately 80% of players are rank A or below.

  • 90% of S+ players are within a +/-150 “hidden ranked power” range.

  • Matching grabs 8 players of similar “hidden ranked power”, then “it makes sure there aren’t too many chargers on one team.”

  • Matching does not consider win/lose streaks directly.

  • The rank meter cracking is dependent on the enemy team’s “hidden ranked power” compared to your team’s. They phrased it as “damage” to the meter, so it may not be a binary “you get a crack or no crack per loss” type of deal.

  • “You may get cracks for consecutive losses when you are near your peak “hidden ranked power”. Although you may be struggling in that personal peak power range, it may be their normal range for other players. In this way, it sort of places you to a ‘proper’ rank.”

  • The effect from a drink ticket do not stack with the affinity brand, but the chance/probability itself is higher than that of the affinity brand.

  • Q: Why are there jellyfish spectators now? In Splatoon 1, you mentioned that there weren’t any spectators because ranked battles were “an underground battle”? A1: Ranked battles are inching their way towards becoming a competitive event. Just like freestyle skateboarding became a competitive event.
    A2: It’s like the jellyfish are starting to notice (lol). They are gradually getting interested. It used to be that the inklings were just doing their thing, but now it’s starting to get recognized.

  • Q: There seem to be shops (like the sushi place in The Reef) where the inklings have Turf Wars and Ranked Battles. What do the workers/employees think when battles are happening right in front of their stores?
    A1: For the inklings, Turf Wars means much more than just a sport. It is like Brazil where soccer has a cultural aspect. So it is accepted in society and they only think “Yup, they’re young. They do this.” Though the owner of the sushi place may dislike it slightly.
    A2: Rather than starting as a sport, Turf Wars started from the instinctive territorial conflict of inklings with forcibly added rules and regulations. So it can’t be helped. By letting them have Turf Wars, it dissipates their combative spirit.

  • JELFONZO (S2 clothes shop owner) WAS ASEXUALLY REPRODUCED BY JELONZO (S1 clothes shop owner).

  • Murch and Spyke’s hometowns were close by, and Murch started to work for him after being inspired by Spyke’s success.

  • Spyke made enough money in S1 that he doesn’t have to work anymore, but continues to work on a laptop at a cafe.

  • Q: Tell us more about Flow (Headspace)
    A: She was originally traveling as a working holiday, and met the owner of Headspace during her travels. She was liked by the owner, and started working there. She symbolizes the “flow” of people in a populated urban city.

  • Q: Tell us more about Bisk (Shella Fresh)
    A: He was dramatic from the moment of his birth. He came here from a pretty cold country, leaving his lover to pursue his band career.

  • Q: What’s the lanyard-like thing on the turtle monument in the Square?
    A: Oh, that was a decoration used as a prop for commercials filmed in the past, but the inklings forgot to remove it afterwards.

  • Mystery Zone maps may become permanently playable in the future, but for now they want to preserve the exclusivity to Splatfests.

  • Salmonid and Boss salmonid forms are dependent on the environment they grew up in.

  • There is a mutual relationship between Salmonids and Octarians. Salmonids provide eggs that can be used as energy, and the Octarians provide technology/machinery/weaponry.

  • Q: Mr. Grizz is always only heard, but is he remotely observing the workplace?
    A: “Hmm, is he even looking? His voice may be a programmed text-to-speech software...”

  • More Grizz Co weapons may be included.

"Makes sure there isn't too many chargers" Guess that doesn't apply to Splatfest matchmaking. *fought against three E-Liters*

Damn Inklings had frequent gang wars apparently.

Octolings with Salmonids is iiiinteresting. Hopefully we'll learn more exploring the Deep Sea Metro.
 
Very interesting info!

Also Jelonzo is a parent. Huh. It's not strange, but I thought Jelfonzo was, like his brother or something.

Aside from the expansion DLC, we have something less important, but just as good. Ammo Knights has unveiled the Zink Mini Splatling for those who just can't get enough heavy weaponry! Complete with Curling Bombs to cover track, and Inkstorm to cover even more track, and rain on your opponent's parade! Keep splattin' like champs, everysquid!

The first one makes sense. In case you're new, Splatoon is features highly evolved inklings because it is said to take place years after the extinction of humans. You know, like Pikmin!

I'm not new to the series. I know the lore. Doesn't stop it from being any less creepy.

Starting tomorrow, Ammo Knights will be stocked with the Sorella Brella. This polka-dotted wonder has the same stats as the Splat Brella, but just look at that style! Nothing spotty about it…besides the spots. Rounding out the kit are Autobombs to find lurking opponents, and the Splat-Bomb Launcher to help push the front lines forward. This kit is recommended for aggressive players who want to support their team.

Research indicates that a fan-favorite stage will re-open for battles tomorrow! Piranha Pit, located in a mysterious quarry, is famous for its industrial style and tricky conveyor belts. It’s hard to convey just how important the conveyor belts are, so perhaps you should experience it for yourself. Wapow!

So is that all the Splatoon 1 maps in Splatoon 2 yet or?

If it's geographically connected to anywhere in Inkopolis. Don't believe me? Watch Episode 26 of Chuggaconroy's Splatoon playthrough. So kiss your hopes of Mahi-Mahi Resort goodbye.

What are you even talking about? Dude, there's still a chance that Mahi-Mahi Resort will make a comeback in the future.
 
Shoot. I like both sports.

Eh, I'll go with baseball. I gotta do it for Yamcha. (that was a joke, i like to play baseball, pls don't kill me ;_;)
 
I don't know any MLS teams and I think NYC FC might be crap this year. But I am a Mets fan, so I guess my choice will be baseball.
 
...Apparently I missed a couple Octo tweets from a few days ago.

This one is definitely new info!


【Octo】 This is "Denwa".
It teaches the way to go to No. 8 getting lost in the underground world and gives "NAMACO terminal" and "NAMACO card" necessary for exploration.
I talked about some kind of things I know ... ....

So it looks like the really old phone is used to communicate with someone unknown, not just the train conductor C.Q. Cumber. Denwa means phone, by the way.


[Octo] Each station has a ticket gate, which leads to an experimental facility from here.
You can challenge using "NAMACO points" charged on the NAMACO card by ticket gate.
If you clear the challenge, you will receive "Clear Houses".
It seems that the amount of points you get is different depending on the bukki you use.

Hm... guess weapon choice is like a difficulty select. AND Sub Weapon choice! Wonder if the card points are required for some collectibles this time around.

This is C.Q. Cumber, a humble sea cucumber who works as a subway conductor and guide to the underground test facility. Despite his mysterious looks, this diminutive dude is a total pro and takes his job quite seriously. Whenever you’re in trouble, try talking to him.

When Ver.3.0 releases, more than 100 pieces of gear will be added to the Splatoon 2. The update will include brand-new items as well as gear that appeared in the first game. Why not try out some new spring styles?

Nice! We get the gear from the 1st game! I'm really digging that pink and blue sweater btw.

This is the Telephone. It provides Agent 8 with a CQ-80 device and CQ Card, essential items for exploring the underground world. The phone speaks as if it knows a lot of things…

tumblr_p6mnksMLyW1u3akyno1_1280.jpg

The CQ-80 is an essential tool for exploring the underground test facility. When aboard a Deepsea Metro subway train, you can use the CQ-80 to view the subway map. Choose a station on the map, and the train will take you there.
