Must be as sending 13yos into something like Salmon Run where big rear end monsters are going to eat your kids trying to collect fuel seems like a really bad idea.

Like those big Inkling corporations care about the child casualties.

Big business is worse than those Octarians.

editmode, maker of official Nintendo apparel, just announced their Splatoon 2 gear: [1] [2] [3]

Some come with badges of sub weapons:

Looks like Ink Curtains are also in.

I think this is actually the case for the Octarians - everyone but DJ Takozawa is under the drinking age, and everyone younger than the OctoAmazons haven't even hit adolescence.

Kind of hard to live to an old age when your society is forced to live underground with very limited resources

SquidForce, the essential beginner's brand. Better get used to that mask now, because you're going to see it a lot.

That's neat, it's basically the original squid tees' いか written in katakana イカ

That orange squid's tied up hair looks super cute! I wonder if hairdos will be in the regular shop format where they change the lineup every day, or are they just gonna let you change it to any of them whenever you want?

I understand you can change the hairstyle from the options, so they're all available from the start.

Is "Krak-On" still a relevant brand anymore, now that the Kraken special has been ditched? Rollers will at least feel the sting.

Not going to miss the Kraken.

Took way too long to charge up, and half the time you had it there was very little worthwhile you could do with it.

The problems with the Kraken are:

1) It breaks Tower Control.

2) It breaks Rainmaker.

3) It is the Special on the Custom E-liter 3K Scope, which means the absolute best charger in the game gets a Get Out Of Jail Free card that punishes anyone who manages to sneak up on a sniper, which is the biggest garbage in the game.

I'll miss it. The Krak-On roller was my mainstay for a long time and I had a ton of fun turning into a giant murdersquid and either killing some losers or getting the hell out of Dodge.

Krak-On roller is essentially the only weapon i've used, but i'll miss the beakons FAR more than I will the Kraken.

A nice roller with beakons and that slamdown super would be more my business.

Revealed in some interview: There's a new mode in Splatoon 2 that's aimed for competitive types: League Battle.

Shintaro Sato posted:

We also added a spectator mode so that players can have someone who is controlling the camera during their match from a variety of different perspectives, and then that match play can be recorded, potentially, and posted online to be shared with the wider community.

There's also a new mode in Splatoon 2 called League Battle. This will be a mode that players can play either in groups of two or four, and it will present you with a two-hour period in which your group competes with other groups to see how many points you can earn. Because the results of that League Battle play will be displayed in a ranking at the end of every two-hour period, we can give players goals to strive for, and hope to encourage them to keep competing and pushing.

It's not mentioned if this mode works in Turf Wars, ranked matches or both. We'll see in three weeks time! Holy mackerel.

Well that's OK, one rarely finds clothes worth wearing in the Real World too. Thankfully wearing lame clothes is not that big of an issue in the world of Splatoon. :v:

I agree, all the clothes they're showing off seem to be the plainer ones from the original. I'm way too fresh to wear just a sweatshirt. :colbert:

Is there somewhere where I can read everything we know about Splatoon 2 in one convenient package?
