I still need to get from S+1 to X in clam blitz but that may take a while, since I've barely played it :sweatdrop:

I've also been trying out some different weapons and I'm a big fan of the nozzlenoses. Do walk speed boosts stay in affect while firing with these weps? I know it matters for chargers and splatlings, but I was trying to figure out a good loadout and boost set up. They don't seem to need any ink save or recharge boosts to go wild with em so I'm trying to branch out

Yes they do, and the L-3 Nozzlenose is one of the fastest strafing weapons in the game right now, if you're using that variant. H-3's speed isn't exactly super high, so I don't know if I would recommend that for it, but if you have nothing better to put on your gear, go for it.

Help what side do I pick for the Splatfest?

I'm trying to figure out which side the kids will all be picking, so I can choose the other side.

Kids will all be picking Octo but also Octo is the right choice so ya know :shrug:

My thought is lots of kids are picking octopus, so going squid means fewer mirror matches; plus I think a lot of goons are also going squid?

Not that it matters, pick what you want.

Octopus is the superior animal.

Inklings are the superior character thingy.

I like team octo because I did the single player campaigns right next to each other and the Octo Expansion was way better. Also the mantle fro is most powerful.

It is a completely unrelated and coincidental pairing of animals, this the first time they lock your form to your choice

: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.

It's not happening this weekend.

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

In additional but not as exciting anniversary news, the Salmon Run scheduled for Saturday is the same map/loadout as the very first Salmon Run shift ever. Kinda neat.

3.2.1 is coming 7/27. There's a bug where bombs thrown from Bomb Launchers (Except for Burst Bombs) don't deal any damage to bubbles at all. And get deleted upon contact with the bubble instead of exploding, doing absolutely nothing. For the record, sub-weapon bombs aren't affected by this glitch.

This Shifty Station's gimmick, boss tentacles! Yeah, those weak points in single player that pop up after you finish a boss' phase. Comes in both squid and octo balloon flavors. Burst them to open up those numbered gates.

It's like when duels allowed for a champion to fight, knowing that God would show the just outcome by ensuring victory for the champion of the party in the right of the issue.
