Splatfest schedules
THE GREAT TURF WAR IS UPON US Bonus feature: During Splatfest, the side you choose reflects your character, ie. you don't need the expansion to play as an octo.

Ah yeah, worth mentioning: Usually the Splatfests happened a week after announcement, but this time around the wait period is two weeks. Just in case you glanced over the schedules.

Maybe I've just gotten better at aiming so I can actually hit people with the two shots per second you get from this thing. That would be because .96 Gal was absolutely awful for a long time. The fact that it originally dealt 52 damage instead of 62 meant that it was super easy for it to become a 3 shot kill instead of a 2 shot kill. Though now, it's pretty much really hard for it to become a 3 shot kill thanks to the damage buff. It also got some serious buffs that helped its accuracy. Several weapons in this game have a recoil mechanic where your shots get less accurate the longer you shoot for. (The game doesn't explain this at all, thanks a lot, devs.) .96 Gal's recoil got horrifically nerfed between games. Where most shooters start off having a 1 or 2% chance to shoot out of anywhere besides the inner reticle, and caps out at a 25% chance, for the .96 Gal, it started off at 15% and capped out at 40%. Now they got reduced to 4% and 30%, respectively. (For all you people who complained about the RNG on the shots, and were being shot down saying that it was just as bad as in Splatoon 1, don't worry. You were right, and it was in fact, a good deal worse before the buffs.) The important thing to keep in mind for the .96 Gal is that after a while (9 shots is when you hit minimum accuracy), just stop shooting for a bit, and accuracy resets back to maximum. Doesn't matter too much for painting, but if you're in a firefight, that can mean the difference between dying and getting a kill. (Accuracy resets to maximum after 13/60ths of a second after you stop shooting.)

So I see Pearl still hasn't caught on to there being actual Octolings living in Inkopolis, even after finding out Marina is one and then meeting another one with whom she worked to save Inkopolis Oh, Pearl. You are a very unique squid, aren't you? Well either that or this Splatfest takes place before the Octo Expansion or something? I probably shouldn't try too hard to make sense of this. Harrow fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Jul 7, 2018 |

hahaha just got that too that’s funny as hell. I wonder if Pearl is the only one or if all squids think it’s just a weird hairstyle thing. Also usually they both have equal viewpoints but Pearl’s loving sucks this time Marina: *lists a billion things octopi can do* Pearl: .....squids got more limbs!

So she's aware that there's suddenly octos in town, she just... found a way to ignore it

I think the expansion is set up to imply that Agent 8 isn't necessarily the first Octoling to make it to Inkopolis. (hence justifying how a player can start encountering playable Octolings before even starting Octo Canyon) But I think you're not meant to think about it too much except that it's funny. Marina is definitely taking the piss here. (I don't think we've ever seen that zoom-in on any other Splatfest announcement, not to mention the additional condition being alluded to)

I took that as her playing dumb. Like Marina does mention that topic being dangerous. Pearl essentially responds with 'how is it dangerous if everyone is an Inkling?'

Marina was like "Octos can camouflage, so there may be one right in front of you!" WINK WINK and Perl's response was just like "Eeek!" Went right over her head what Marina was saying.

I love winning 3v4s, but I think I love it even more when it was a 3v4 without someone on our side even disconnecting. Dude didn't disconnect--he just didn't do jack poo poo the whole match. Scored a whopping 6 points by the end. And yet we still won

But they were literally talking about squid and octopus. Not Inkling and Octoling. I don't know. It's not that important.
