:siren: Splatfest schedules :siren:


  • US/AU/NZ Squid vs. Octopus @ July 20th 21:00 PT / July 21th 00:00 ET / July 21th 14:00 AET
  • JP Squid vs. Octopus @ July 21th 15:00 JT
  • EU Squid vs. Octopus @ July 21th 16:00 CET
All Splatfests last for 24 hours.

Say no to speciesism.

Bonus feature: During Splatfest, the side you choose reflects your character, ie. you don't need the expansion to play as an octo.

The splatfest is between squids and octopodes, and there is no contest there.

Inklings vs. Octolings would be harder.

Exactly. It's not in-game. It's if Squids, the marine animal, are better than Octopodes, the marine animal.

yeah, just a weird coincidence that thry happen to line up with the playable species and that you are the in-game species you pick for the splatfest and the art shows an inkling and an octoling pointing guns at each other. ?

It's a strange one. You don't have the ink reserves (or, frankly, the speed) to be able to effectively range very far out of any "safe" zone and like Chargers and Splatlings you have to be thinking two or so seconds ahead of any given gambit, but on the other hand it can murder more or less everything in one hit, and is deceptively good against Steelheads too. The range on the vertical flick is real. So basically if you can stick with someone you're golden, but if you ever get caught alone and out of ink you are straight hosed.

Shocked I tell you
Also to be exact that thing got Pearl's name backwards. It's Hozuki Hime in English order. Hime is her last name. Also we actually learned Marina's last name in Octo Expansion in the chat log. The English version is Marina Ida.

The worst part about Clam Blaster is that if someone drops it's still rather easy to just be totally defensive and prevent a KO, which means you play out the full 5 minutes

If you're at a rooftop party or at the basketball courts or wherever and there's not a LAN nearby, why would you want that to be a requirement to game with your bros?

It seems potentially implied with some of Pearl's dialogue and that she's filthy loving rich she could be genuine Inkling royalty.

Inklings seem to be dumb but charismatic, given they get along well with everyone else and are popular celebrities.

What's the lore on other beings? How minority are they? There's all the Jellies, plus all the other characters that range from other mollusk's like the Sea Slug Hat Lady, the Horseshoe Crab Armorer, the Shrimp Food Vendor, the Shoe dude (Type of crab?), and even a Sea Urchin.

The cats are the obvious WTF outliers, but otherwise there's clearly a pretty big, diverse, and sentient marine civilization out there.
