I hope those lab coats show up as actual gear later on.

Anyone have a screen of that initial screen that pops up while Splatoon is still loading in? The one that's a shot of some squid's room. I like that screen and want it as a desktop background.

It might have been a typo or an alternate pronunciation or something. 偉人 is pronounced "ijin" and means "great man" according to Google Translate. 外人 is pronounced "gaijin" and means "foreigner". Also 外人 is apparently politically incorrect and you can't say it on television.

I am a human adult man, but Splatoon makes me truly believe I am a squidgirl.

I like this. I don't know anything about Ika Musume but I'm interested now.

It's about an anthropomorphic squid, much like a Splatoon inkling, who emerges from the sea with intentions of punishing humanity for their literal pollution. The humans above pay her no mind and she ends up working for a beachside restaurant, due in part to pay off damages she's done to the venue on pain of death by ninja.

She's also an idiot.

I do notice there aren't any adult squids, aside from that one crazy guy who lives in the sewers. No doubt they're all doing boring adult poo poo like jobs and grocery shopping.

Do you think there are squids working on offshore oil rigs who spend their breaks spectating turf wars on Saltspray Rig and betting on which color wins? Are there loudspeakers at the mall that announce upcoming turf wars or splat zone matches so that customers can find cover?

Actually, yuri and yaoi might be too on the nose. Make it team rose vs team lily to create plausible deniability for all the Miiverse posts of musclebound squids wrestling each other.

I want to call Nintendo so they can hook me up with the Splatoon scarf from that one event.

Guy arguing about Splatfest, all you're doing is making the thread fill up with dozens of people saying the exact same thing, please give up so that things get better.

Are you team yaoi or team yuri?

There was this one tower control match where all four opposing squids gathered on the tower and bubble shielded for the last stretch. I couldn't get mad at that, even though it was a goddamn steamroll.

It was at the mall and I think the match lasted less than a minute.

Oh yeah, there was this other tower control match where everyone on my team, me included, kept getting blown up by opposing ink mines on the tower.

I'd probably hit 20 in no time if I didn't try to get all my points from ranked right after hitting 10.

You know, I always thought the inklings' bandit masks and squid teeth were more distinctive than their hair, but those don't really show up on a silhouette.

Actually wouldn't the inklings have to use ink slides or die horribly?

The splatfest themes seem to be based on stuff that inklings wouldn't know much about aside from pop and rock music, if that one battle track is a legit song in-universe. Dogs have long since drowned, and Judd's the only cat they know of. And I doubt they know what instant ramen is because that involves handling deadly water.

I wouldn't personally ride one, but I'd like to see the end result of someone riding a water slide except permanent marker ink instead of water.

I'm all for adult squids in battle only if their fashion sense is so far removed from fresh that none of the inklings get even close to wherever they are. Instead of Inkopolis Plaza, the hub world is an office building.

I'd like to see a future weapon channel the spirit of Holi and the "ink" is actually chalk dust.
