Is anyone else really worried about the specials in this game? It seems like they've gone from mostly being useful for zoning rather than killing to mostly being useful for killing rather than zoning. They just seem more boring to use and more boring to fight against
>>181837551

Where's my Callie and Marie option?
Is the newest splatfest split between regions?

There's probably more kittens around too.

It can also mean to go back to a previous state, which is probably the intended translation. People in the last thread said she was saying she wants things to be the way they used to be.
Do not bully
>>181838075
I think US and Europe got paired again. Japan got rock vs pop I think

With the no region-locked switch, I think it'll be the same???
>Pearl

>Marina is another word for a harbor
>Pearl Harbor
I'm warming up to Pearl, but Marina is clearly that diversity inclusion shit
>>181837665
who /diabetes/ here?
Who the fuck were these girls again? What were their names because I forgot after seeing Pearl and Marina.
>>181837658
It's something like "I want to go back" but it's in katakana, which is usually reserved for weirdness like robots or aliens.
>>181838213
Oh fuck off, if that were the case she'd have an afro and not be such a walking sex object. Japs think with their penis, not their politically correct side of their brain.
>>181837818
Not posting the "Cone Head"
>>181837759
Joking aside, Marina is probably too womanly and "strong" looking for Japan.
>>181838186
That's some premium banter from Japan
>>181838148
>go baaack
>>181838264
Is it because it's a kid's game? I know the Japanese Pokemon games(at least Sapphire)used kana only, though they at least used hiragana for most non-name stuff.
>>181838343
why is she black with wild nails then
>>181838213
>any character that isn't light skinned is a ploy to shove diversity into your face
Imagine being this retarded.
>>181838213
Ain't nothing wrong with having Filipino Octarians senpai.
>>181838391
Sorry man I just have a soft spot for mint chip
Although this one is good too
>>181838465
you're saying weird nails is a black people thing? what?
This must return
>>181838343
This.
The Japanese still have an active fascist and Nazi party. They don't care about political correctness at all.
Reposting in here for all your splat bait needs.
I’m having trouble deciding between cake and ice cream... I used to be a cakefag through and through, but ice cream has so much more variety.
>callie sees a picture of marina.jpg
>>181838564
I recognize the race traitor but who is that hasbeen?
>>181838564
it wouldn't be the same without callie
>>181838624
Ask yourself what you'd rather have during the winter months. Then you'll have your answer.
>>181838452
I wouldn't know, the analisis is from someone else. But if the rest of the game is in hiragana there's defenetly a point being made that something is off about how she's talking.
>>181837436
PEARL IS PURE!
>>181837917
Marina has the better design, but I don't really care for her personality. Pearl comes off like a combination of Marie's bitchiness and Callie's energy. Marina's got Marie's chill and Callie's niceness, which is kinda boring in comparison.
>>181837665
My bae
>>181838415
Marina is getting more fanart though and Pearl fans think they're the minority. It's probably too early to say.

>filename isn't "eelete this"
If they fixed Pearl's teeth, how would you all feel?
>>181839482
Pearl is already perfect
>>181839482
they have to fix her forehead too
then she would actually look okay
Callie>Marina>Marie>Pearl
>>181839482
Being punched in the mouth doesn't fix the fact that she's a shitty brat.
>>181838932
Google's suggested translation encourages you to.
>>181839482
I'd like her better
I'm really glad Crusty is back, and not only that, I quite like the new shoe store owner. Bisk looks handsome with his big glasses and clothes.
>>181838465
I think Pearl is based off a sort of pop/punk jfashion look and Marina is based off the gyaru look.
Seeing as splatoon 2 is all about trendy styles and being individuals.
>>181839482
Pearl is a loli archtype. The pale skin, big forehead, fang, short hair, small height is all part of it.
>>181839637
How exactly is wearing 3 different pairs of mismatched shoes fresh?
>>181838794
Me.
>>181839761
>Marina
>Gyaru
Nigger do you have any fucking idea what you're talking about.
Pearl would look so much cuter if she had bangs. She's got that ugly Yolandi shit going on
>>181839859
While I get the rest, the fang itself? She looks like a weird chipmunk and isn't consistent with the other squids. Marina has it too, but she's more prone to do that really awkward smile instead.
>new octoling, who is a dj
hmm...
>>181840040
>Yolandi
Googled that and that was gross.
hmmmm...
>>181839637
Flow is my fav
Do you think they’ll have leaderboards for the splatfest? What weapons do you think will be available? What maps? I have so many questions!
>>181840084
Octavio's Daughter SpyCuttlefish was the dad
Sex with Marina
>>181840051
It's the Inkling equivalent of this.
>>181840178
the maps shown in the splatfest preview portion of the direct.
Probably 12 weapons.
Marina stuffed with cum
>>181840238
Sex on the marina.
>>181840137
yeah squid also have their eyes connected by that black thing
>>181839212
>Umbrella charger Marie custom when
>They can save your current loadout and transfer it to another console
How exploitable, i simply can't wait.
How do they keep coming up with these ideas?
Wait, if Marina's the only octarian around, does that mean that her descendants will be hybrids?
>>181839119
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okIlIvHnaNw
>>181840260
I wish, because if she had it off to the side instead of dead center like some hick's buck tooth (or, you know, a squirrel), she'd be ten out of ten for me.
>>181840152
Strongly agreed
Can someone make a reaction image out of This?
>>181840413
seaweed
>>181840386
this
>>181840178
It looks like splatfests will only use 2 maps this time round. Unless this is just a one off thing or they rotate like normal.
>>181840386
What if it won't let you play with your squid on two consoles at the same time?
in case anyone missed it in the last thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6kmP9zNflE
>>181840447
Inkling teeth don't work like ours, so inverted beak is their version of the fang.
>>181840413
There a lot of stuff that goes into game development.
>>181839637
He's got Kurt Cobain sunglasses and dresses pretty grunge
>>181840741
I can’t imagine them switching to a two map system for 24hr events. They’re probably just doing it this time because it’s only 4hrs long.
>>181840413
There has to be a better name for this.
So Pearl is team Rock & Cake and Marina is team Pop & Ice cream?
Also. America and Europe have the same Splatfest(s) this time around?
>>181840741
there's enough space on that black square thing for three maps. I think it's just a one off thing for this one splatfest. We already played on two maps, we'll play on another two. Probably don't want us experiencing too much content before the game is out.
>>181840887
Yup
>>181839352
nice fucking forehead
>in japanese they're tentacools
Thank god they changed it, I would get surfing flashbacks
>>181840772
I'm not a huge fan
>>181840887
I'd like to pop and cream Marina.
>>181839352
>that forehead
She's perfect
>>181837287
>>181840439
I can't help it, whenever I look at them I can see only rich spoiled brat, a little "princess" (coincidence? I don't think so), who gets to keep around her pet Octarian (slave, and her being black is suddently a twist)
Nintendo seems like they're pretty great at the whole virtual idol business.
>>181837287
Why are Pearl's teeth different from the typical Inklings? (Her teeth match Marina's one upper fang instead of having two upper fangs)
I don't get the joke of their names. Pearl and Marina? What's the pun here? Specially for Marina.
>>181841024
How is it possible for someone to have taste as bad as yours?
So how do you guys feel about the music in Splatoon 2?It's already better than the first game.
>>181841098
Because she's a cuttlefish
>>181841064
>her JP name is literally Hime
Are you just pretending?
>>181841106
Because they couldn't call herHarbor
>>181841106

>A place where you dock boats

>>181841120
>>181841120

>>181840887
>tfw you prefer Marina as a character but Pearl's splatfest themes
These new idols suck!
>>181841113
I prefer the old style over this new song. Sue me

>Pearl Marina
>Pearl Harbour
>>181841206
>>181841274
oh.....
heh.....
>>181841202
It's a type of squid that only grows to a few millimeters long.
>>181841106
The Japs did Pearl Harbor except now it's Pearl Marina. With all the censorship in NoA it's clear that they still hate JAPS.
I... I like them both. Don't make me choose, p-please...
>old idols have nice pun names that flow together well and a nice and to the point catchphrase
>new idols have no pun, not even for the jp version, and have a long drawn out catch phrase
I don't like it
Fresh
>>181840769
No need to, the amiibo is the weakness since their appdata can be manipulated, With 2+ dumps you can parse the data and begin modifying equipment and such which the switch will blindly load up.
I'm willing to bet tree fiddy it will be as half assed as S1 was.
>>181841082
Sooner or later they'll have a legion of literal who's.
>>181841542
Callie and Marie weren't a pun in the japanese version.
This is your new waifu
I fucking love Splatoon 2 already. It's also very clear that the theme is American op culture. Fucking new idols are amaing
>>181837287
Can someone shop out their tight so it's their skin color instead?
Callie and Marie will always be my top idols. But these new gals still seem pretty cool.

>>181841562
Perfect.
>>181841874
That's the band name, Sea 'o colors. Aori and Hotaru are Bigfin Reef and Firefly squid respectively.
>>181841792
Ja
Where the fuck is this demo? I don't care if it's just a title screen I really want to look at it!
>>181841874
They were just different kinds of squid

Literally the same pattern as for the new idols
ヒメ(イカ)
イイダ(コ)

Question marks are just hidden abilities that need to be unlocked by playing online. It was in the first game and doesn't take that long to unlock.
>>181840152

>>181842116
7th of July it comes out. Check the switch news.
>>181841748

>>181842197
No the new ability
>>181842197
I was talking about the Object Shredder abillity.
>>181842197
they're on about the object shredder ability you lemon

>>181842285
>>181842308
>>181842379
Oh, Object Shredder allows the wearer to deal more damage to non-players like Beakons and Splash Walls so they go down faster. I'm not sure if they said it affected environments like fans or spongecubs.
>>181842043
Yeah. It lets you break beakons and splash walls faster. Seems pretty shitty imo
>>181842308
>>181842379
Higher damage against things like Splash Walls. Maybe even RM Shield
>>181842487
>>181842532
It better work on rm shields and shit like sponges. I don’t see the point of an ability that can only break sprinklers a bit faster...
I forget, did they show a School Girl outfit for Splatoon 2?
>>181842679
Yes. Cinnamon amiibo gives you one
>>181842679
Supposedly the old amiibos still bring the same gear. At the very least I think they do.
>>181842679
Yes, with the new girl amiibo there is a new outfit as well as the old amiibo giving you the old one.
>>181842832

Pearl is funny.
>>181842762
>>181842832

The re-colored set? How exactly is Nintendo getting away with this. They need to release Splatoon amiibo cards already.
>>181843068
>be a rapper
>wear your own teeth as accessory
Did Haunt look like that? I can't remember right now. And it looks like there's a thermal variation for it too.
>The newest hosts of Inkopolis News, Pearl and Marina, are bringing a party to Inkopolis one week before the launch of Splatoon™ 2. You'll need an Internet connection* to participate. To join, download the free Splatoon 2: Splatfest World Premiere demo from Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch™ system, choose your team, and then launch the demo on Saturday, 7/15 from 3 p.m.—7 p.m. PT! The Splatfest will allow players to try four different main weapons, including the new Splat Dualies, the Tentatek Splattershot, as well as remixed versions of the iconic Splat Roller and Splat Charger.
>>181843091
No, not recolor set.
Recolor set and Set 1 are the same set
Then there's the splatoon 2 set
>>181837571
And of course he picks the wrong one
>>181843441
Fool, there is no wrong choice.
There are two right choices.
>The super-jump roll isn't a standard function
Hey
Why
>>181843441
You mean the right one
Callie = Roller
Marie = Charger
Pearl = ???
Marina = ???
Damn preorders are sold out on Amazon that fucking blows
>>181843529
So, does that ability only affect dualies? They made a whole new ability just for one weapon class? What the hell?
>>181843625
No. Tilit the stick as you land to roll in that direction.
>>181837793
I have no idea how you and my sister eat this shit. It's too fucking sweet/
>>181843625
No, I'm pretty sure every weapon can use.
>>181843307
>Did Haunt look like that? I can't remember right now.
It didn't
>And it looks like there's a thermal variation for it too.
Its probably because the method to track the foe that splatted you will appear as whatever is used to spot enemies with the thermal ink perk instead of the echolocator swirl
>>181843554
Pearl = Dualies
Marina = Blaster
Don't screencap this fuck you
>>181843353
UK Splatfest times are 17:00-21:00, Europe obviously an hour later.
>>181837665
>thinking about it almost all my favorite ice cream flavors are caked based flavors

>>181841672
I tried.
>>181843913
Main point of making that post was the fact that we get new weapons to try.
>>181844002
It had a really good discount yesterday.

>>181844101
What's 2nd row last column? (x2 one)
And what's 3rd row first column? (barricade looking one)
I haven't been keeping up with this because I'm a poorfag and don't own a Switch.
Can you play as Octolings in this one?
Marina is really cute I don't know if I'll like her as much as Callie but I'm excited to see the banter between the new duo.
>>181842624
Would be worth it if you can stack it within reason to break a full health Splash Wall with a single splat/suction bomb.
>>181844538
Dang.
>>181844391
No idea about the first, other is very likely to be last ditch effort since the lines are in the same pattern as the match ending tape in splatoon 1
>>181844391
My guess is the x2 one increases the effects of your smaller abilities and the barrier one might have something to do with the end of the match
>>181844476
What banter? Marina's a fucking slave to Pearl. It'll just be Pearl bullying Marina.
have any of you guys ever bought a squid or octopus and wrapped the tentacles around your dick
>>181844391
No clue. The barrier looks like those things that appear when the game ends.
What’s this?
>>181844751
stealth jump with a new icon probably
>>181844708
I think she'll just be an overall well-meaning senpai that sometimes demands too much of her kohai

What are the chances of some stupid shit like this actually happening?
>>181845185
>Sisters defiled
>>181845737
well, one is an octoling. but I think the chances of pearl being evil is low, she just seems like a brat and not a villain.
>>181845737
can't, that would spoil things for newcomers.
>people who never played Splatoon because it was on the Wii U will get a Switch and play Splatoon 2
>They'll think Pearl and Marina are the hottest shit
>They'll never know how great the Squid Sisters were
feels bad, man
>>181837287
>>181845880
I don't see pearl becoming as popular as either of the squid sisters, marina on the other hand might. But squid sisters will always be the best.

fucking why
am getting too old or what
I'm 100% confident that beating the campaign will unlock playable octolings. Now that we have an octoling idol, there's no way we won't get them somehow.
You get to Callie, the final boss, you beat her ass, and as she's crying on the floor she convinces Marie that octolings aren't so bad. Something like that.
>>181845609
I feel like her Callie looks a bit too innocent at times. I like most of her work though I'm excited to see her draw Marina too.
>>181846057
If you didn't get hyped by the surprise reveal of Off The Hook, I don't know what to tell you, man. Maybe it's brain damage.
>>181846057
Maybe it was just a phase for you
SO wait, is it revealed now that you don't have to constantly reroll to get exactly what you want, but instead you can just pick what you want but for an increased price?
>>181845880
why are you making it sound like the internet doesn't exist where people can see how popular Callie and Marie are.
>>181846369
Yes. Should of been like that from the start but better late then never
>>181841046
I'd like to Rock that Cake, Pearl.
>>181846501
It's not the same if you didn't experience if yourself.
>>181846229
>>181846328
maybe the fun kicks when ill play it?hopefully
also are the motion controls still a thing?
i sure hope so
>>181846057
That's funny because I have the opposite feelings.

>feel nothing

I think I'm going to pick cake

>>181846071
Callie didn't seem extra happy on the radio
Will splatoon 2 still have that 90s nostalgia?
>>181846740
>seeing the news cast every time you log in
>playing splatfest with their music
It's a bit more than just watching a few performances
You guys doing anything special for the Splatfest? I think it would be cool if someone would make a Splatoon-themes cake or ice cream cone.
YES
>>181846740
If you weren't around for the hype when this was all fresh and new, you just ain't gonna feel it the same way, man.
>>181846229
>Off the Hook
who? Gotta permafixate them as Tenta Cool, like it is.
>>181847325
>their music
the final boss song is very popular on the internet, dude, with a gazillion remixes too.
Any word on when we can download the demo for splatfest? Wonder if we can team up with friends with this splatfest too?
so can we play with our friends during the first splatfest?
I feel like the new duo is meant to be replaced by Callie and Mari later.
Idols aside, do you prefer the old splatoon music or the new splatoon music?
Why do Japs always get the best splatfests?
>>181847561
I said playing splatfest with their song, not just listening to it
>>181843906
Funny, I was thinking Pearl would use dualies too.
>>181847758
what difference does that make? the point here is knowing about them and anyone that's interested in buying splatoon 2 will know about the first one just by going on the fucking internet.
>>181847738
I like both but I like the old music a bit more
>>181847739
europe got the same thing when the first game launched
>>181847738
New music is better though I don't want to take away from the old music because it's really good as well.

>>181848194
No, you're claiming that just being part of a splatfest that happens to have an extremely popular piece of music is gonna make a difference, as if people couldn't know all about these 2 by using the internet which is the point here.
>>181848035
what do you think the reason for an octoling being there means? Is she just an inkling dressed like an octotling? Is she a special exception?
>>181848194
why people think watching videos and streams is the same as playing a game?
>>181840413

is this a real thing? because it looks genius

>>181848464
>why people think watching videos and streams is the same as playing a game?
I don't know. But apparently some retards do.
>>181848406
Visuals and music can come together to be more than the sum of their parts. The difference becomes even more dramatic in games where you can combine visuals, music, and gameplay. Have you ever actually played a video before?
And no, the point was that new players who never had a chance to play the original Splatoon in its hayday won't have had the same experiences with the game, won't have the same kinds of positive memories, and won't appreciate the characters in their own way.
I don't know why this is such a difficult concept for you.

now make one with pearl and marina
its almost the same game, a lot of the worst things in the first Splatoon remains here and thet didnt improve nothing.
>>181849860
what about all 4?
>>181849890
this was probably like mario kart 8 were they made it a deluxe edition but had extra time on their hands so they instead made it into a fully fledged sequel.

>>181846057
i hear this
i got the switch and im glad i have it, but im just not excited for many of the games on it
granted it still needs to pick up momentum but i just feel nothing for it
perhaps its because i was in high school when the good stuff for wii u came out and had people to talk about it with
now i've got a job at my library and everyones just focused on work
i think i need to find a group or something
>>181849860
We'll need some new Strawpolls
>>181849195

Is this the first time Inklings spoke coherent english?

i'll bet later down the line they're gonna stage a literal race war between inklings and octarians
and nobodys gonna bat an eye about it
A-ARE WE GETTING PLAYABLE OCTLINGS?
>>181849890
the worst part of splatoon 1 were atk ups and port mackerel splat zones
the first was removed and the later was heavily changed I don't care about anything elsebut please bring callie back
>>181849890
Even though it's similar I'll take a "sequel" over a remake like mario kart deluxe if they need to get it onto the next console generation
>>181850194
most people seem to not like pearl while marina is waifubait, pretty obvious what the result are.
>>181849890
>>181849979
>>181850042
Fuck off, retards. Splatoon 2 is 90% new content. Do you really expect them to change how the entire game is played to justify a squeal?
LET'S FUCKING GO
>>181849890
I'm actually curious as to what you think were the problems in Splatoon 1. The only issues I had personally was with the poor netcode, lack of NA players, and the stat system on clothing.
They've clearly fixed the last one, or at the very least made it bearable. If Nintendo tries to give us the same shit netcode while having us pay for it they'll have rabid fanboys up their ass until they fix it.
As for lack of NA players? Shittons of people have the Switch already, the Wii U was a dead as fuck console. Could only get matches during after school hours or else it would just be japs.
>>181850042
>add two new weapon types
>add all new specials
>add new mode, minigames, clothing, and customization options
Nothing's ever good enough for you people is it?
>>181850274
>but please bring callie back
Bruh. Haven't you been paying any attention to the single player reveals? The entire plot will literally be to bring Callie back.
>>181844751
Someone give me a breakdown of the new abilities shown
>2nd row
What is x2?
>3rd row
Is that the new Last Ditch effort?
What's that between ninja squid and what I assume is stealth jump?
>4th row
What is that next to Special Charge Up
I'm gonna cry /ink/, Splatoon looks great and the free Splatfest is something I really want to take part of, but I have found no Switch at all.
Someone knows if there is a way to get this console on Europe? I need it before the 15 of this month.
>>181849890
>all the specials are new
>the abilities have been totally redone
>Salmon Run
That's enough of a justification for me. The only major flaw that I see being carried on to the sequel is the short lifetime. 2 years of support? Are you kidding me?
>>181850358
People will always find a reason to bitch about anything.
>>181849890
How the fuck is fixing the biggest issue of the original, the slot rerolling, not improving it?
Anyone got a gif or webm of the hip wiggle the inkling girl does during character creation in splatoon 2 ?
>>181849552
This. Pearl doesn't give a shit about you and your opinions. She only cares about her kouhai.
>>181850347
I don't get why people don't like her... She's really cute. Not ugly at all. Am I just weird?
>>181850394
What if she sacrifices herself and dies? everything I love dies
Also the 2 new idols suck and this is an Objective Comment.
>>181850358
I didn't say it was bad, I just explained why it had so many similarities.
>>181850274
Callie a shit and I'll still gladly take her back over these abominations.
Hell, have her do the news by herself like people used to joke about. THAT would be better than this.
>>181850629
I agree with this objective comment.

>>181850517
Are they seriously only going to do two years of support? That's fucking crazy, literally why?

Well for a sequel in a new console, we were expecting more.

They're building splatoon into an e-sport.
>>181850754
France blocked Switch orders from other countries.
>>181850774
I can't even get that, it is also out of stock.
>>181850194
Meanwhile in Japan, Hime (Pearl) is still leading.
>>181850868
reminder that this is the same company that when they hired a company to make online servers and whatnot for the Wii U they were asked what they thought about xbox's and playstation's online and that they answered that they never even knew anything about either of them.
>>181850517
Well they've got to release Splatoon 3 at some point. Honestly, I've always thought Splatoon made for a good biyearly title. I think there is totally room for another entry on Switch at some point.
Even if there's not two years is still pretty good. Better than the original that barely lasted over a year, and it's not like people are going to stop playing after the Splatfests end anyway.

>>181851070
>mfwI'd still buy anything Splatoon
>>181851091
>>181850976
If they want an e-sport to have lasting appeal, is it good or bad to shake it up every 2 years with another sequel? That feels dangerously close to CoD territory, where a significant esports scene never built up due to the constant shifts in the game.
>>181850891
Nigger they literally added more cosmetics, more weapons, more maps, more modes, more minigames, and more features in addition to changing the way almost everything from the first game worked besides basic shooting and squidding mechanics. What the fuck MORE do you want from a sequel?
>>181851124
Japan continuing their trend of excellent taste
who else thinks that the new soundtrack isn't as good as the original?
>>181851308
Is that why Twintelle is the most popular ARMS girl?
>>181850868
There will be free updates for 1 year and splatfests for 2 years. It's not like they'll shut the servers down after splatfests end.
>>181851149
I think it's kinda weird to release a sequel on the same console. I'd rather them just make regular DLC.
Actually, I guess that would fracture the player base, huh? I guess biannual sequels would make more sense. Paying $60 every two years wouldn't be too bad for me since I'll probably sink another 1000 hours into Splatoon 2
>>181851446
Japan has always had really bad taste what are you talking about
>>181851391
It's different territory to e-sports but fighting games usually have yearly changes. There's also the Pokemon Championships and that environment is constantly changing.
Splatoon 2 looks so fucking fun my dudes
>>181851527
It's god awful.
>>181851391
I doubt there'll be another sequel on the Switch. Maybe if it has a 7-year lifespan or something. The closeness between 1 and 2 is really just because Wii U is dead and Switch is new and fresh and they want everyone -- including Japan -- to buy it.
>>181851308
almost everything that comes out of japan recently has a token brown girl specifically for waifubait.
>>181851024
speaking of this it seems likely there will be a new ranked mode sometime down the line or this is just some terrible UI.
Pearl is going to be insufferable to create a contrast between Marie's frendly ribbing of Callie. Off camera she and Marina will want nothing to do with one another. The whole thing will come off as Hook being a soulless clone of the Squid Sisters until you finish single player and the Sisters reunite to either replace them or teach them to be better.

Goodbye Callie
Whatever becomes of you, you didn't deserve it
Question 1: do you prefer Callie or Marie?
Question 2: do you prefer Pearl or Marina?
I like Callie and Marina.
>>181851942
>>181852104
I was more thinking along the lines of inklings smoking cigarettes
>>181852201
I hope we get to kill Callie in the story mode.
>>181850689
I'll go through hell and back to bring Callie back and send that octo scum back to the hole she crawled out of.
>>181851578
Did they say only updates for 1 year and Splatfests for two years?
>>181851653
Fighting games are as esports as it gets.
>>181851969
My god
>>181852227
I prefer Marie and Pearl.
>>181852227
1.) Callie.
2.) Pearl.
>>181852227
Marie and Pearl is the objective superior choice.
>>181852227
Callie and Pearl
>>181852229
IM TRYING BUT I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING
>>181852248
At least that way she wouldn't learn of the disgusting whores that replaced her.
>>181852227
Callie and Pearl right now. Pearl is so cute. I might prefer Marina once I get a better feel for their personalities, though.
>>181852227
I'm in love with Marie but I'm really not sure which if the two new ones I prefer. Not a huge fan of either to tell the truth
Is mariana an octoling or some kind of hybrid?
>>181852227
Same. Callie and Marina are the best, but I still love Marie and Pearl too.
>>181852268
I don't understand why they're so stingy with supporting Splatoon 2.
Giving the game an expiration date before its released doesn't feel good.
>>181852268
1. I prefer Callie
2. I prefer Marie.
>>181852227
1) Marie
2) Marina
I prefer the more reserved types over the genki ones.
>>181852340

>>181852260

>>181852363
I'm so glad they're adding a faux Miiverse to Splatoon 2. Splatoon and Mario Maker were the only games that I felt like Miiverse really added a lot to.
>>181852613
Marie/Na is the correct answer
>>181852268
>>181852446
Splatfest for 2 years isn't an expiration date, Splatfests are events and no more, you can play without Splatfests.
>>181852623
What would you want lewds of that disgusting thing? Keep it locked away

>>181852815
Splatfest are the best thing in the whole game.
Ok boys! we gotta find that musoc they played behind the salmon run spot
>>181852815
Also I think they were still balancing/updating the game after Splatfests ended for Splatoon 1, right?
if there's a jetpack super in splatoon 2 why not a psuedo spray gun flathrower esque
I don't wanna spend another 2 years with these idols. And now I'm going to be curious about what 3 will look like in another 2 years and how they are going to keep the passing of time world building going
So we're all in agreement that Pearl is the best one right?
>>181852815
They also said updates for one year
Fresh off the hook content is what will bring back players if they get bored of the game.
Marie vs Pearl smug-off when?
>>181853039
Of course
>>181852716
We don't realise what we have to lose until it's already gone
>>181853039
they are both trash

Splatfest are fun but they can't compare to Rainmaker.

I agree.
>>181853039
>people on 4chan pick the unpopular one

Yeah no. Pearl is popular. Just because you dislike her doesn't mean everyone else agrees.

>>181853919
My thoughts exactly. Where's dome? Where's skatepark? I hope the changes they made to towers and port make them better, but I doubt it.
Speaking of changes, what changes for port did you guys spot during the trailer? Can we climb the boxes now?

People who like Marina are filthy species traitors.

>>181852227
Marie and Pearl.
Nice girls are dull.
>>181854421
...what do you think she is
Since inklings dissolve in water is this the most destructive weapon in Splatoonverse?
>>181854154
I thought in that you were able to ride on the Inklines on Moray Towers like your on roller blades, but in the direct today they Switch(tm)ed it back to how it was in Splatoon.
>>181854401
technically they are either way. Doesn't matter, sign me up.
>>181854421

>>181854569
They removed the inklines from towers? What?
>>181854749
She kind of looks like a ganguro girl trope, so it's not impossible that she's still meant to be an inkling equivalent of that

I was gonna post this in responce but it was less angry than i remembered it.
Still, most of the lines in that little broadcast were Pearl taking the lead and Marina reacting generically. Makes Pearl feel like a she' stealing the spotlight as opposed to the Sisters more ballanced approach. I don't even really have an idea of what Marina's like because she couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Time will tell I guess.

Do we know if amiibos have the singleplayer challenges still or can we access those free of charge?
Limited Ink challenges were fun and tough.
This all looks pretty great to me. I hoped for pants/hair options, and now there are pants/hair options. The ability system was awful to deal with, and now it's fixed. New specials and abilities to deal with their previous imbalances. Splatfests for twice as long. Balance fixes for Ranked modes. Free and improved sound test. General quality of life improvements. I didn't even know I wanted some of these changes until they made them. Literally the only thing I can think of that they could do on top of all this is playable Octolings, and they may well have that one in the works too.

That's kinda my point, it's what some suit thinks the squid sisters are like, so he threw them together to try and make lightning strike twice, thus they became a soulless clone.

Going to have to disagree with this. Layouts seem fine but the themes themselves are just dull and unexciting. Musselforge Fitness and Humpback Pump Track seem to similar thematically to both be in the starting line up, and the academy and concert stage maps I wouldn't even be able to tell what they were based on if I wasn't told. Then The Reef is just a standard Urchin Underpass replacement. On top of this all the stages look overly cluttered and claustrophobic.
Honestly think they're really uninteresting as a starting lineup especially compared to the five from the original. And of all the stages they picked to bring back along with them it had to be Moray Towers.
>>181859128

>>181858856
When it sounds like they're saying Stay Fresh in discernible English, they're actually supposed to be saying what their catchphrase is in japan. Stay Fresh is something NoA came up with after the fact, so they can't be saying Stay Fresh in English

This is what I thought when seeing these, the maps are just large open areas with loads of shit randomly placed around. Some of the older maps where more focused and smaller. I'm not saying one style is better just there should be more variety imo.

I'm so glad splatoon waifu wars have been resurrected. I forgot how much fun it was with Callie and Marie.
p.s. Pearl is trash and dissenting "opinions" are object garbage.

All this talk about girls. That'sfine
But is no one going to talk about new weapon info?
Umbrella gun?

>>181859883
You don't get to keep the shirts at least you didn't in the original. Super Sea Snails used to be the rewards and were used to reroll gear abilities. Not sure if they're returning, but it will probably still be items for changing around abilities as rewards.

>>181847394
>came to post this
>you already did
Fuck you.
>>181860497
Looks balanced. Functions as a panic button, but the fact that it can only take one hit means it's not very useful in a proper firefight.
>>181854582
>technically
I think you mean tentacally.
>>181860461
Squids, Octopi, Anemone, and Sea Urchins don't have legs either, and yet
Besides, we can see her foot sticking out, and her other under her skirt/sluggy bit
>>181860592
If you watch closely it actually got a start up time before applying the ink armor. Its more like something used right before a push or team fight.
One extra hit can mean alot, specially when it doesnt matter what the hit is from.
>>181860695
>don't have legs either
Does that mean that a sea slug has to have em?
Plus the squids and octopi's limbs are counted as part of their 8 tentacles.
>>181860497
Better balanced than the bubbler
Still a panic button but you can fight against it
>>181860789
One hit from a charger, yes; one hit from a shooter, not so much.
>>181860916
Also one hit taken from things like grenades and rollers. Also one extra hit can actually mean a for winning a fight even from a normal splattershot.
I like it tho, it isnt as dumb as the bubble and got a cool effect to it.
>>181851882
Is turf war really not in ranked? As a newcomer this seems like the most appealing mode. I don't like the look of rainmaker at all.
>>181859818
>Freaking bubble blower
Shit I was so hype about the umbrolly that I forgot about that. That looks like it's going to make for some amazing team plays.
>>181860497

"Most gastropods (marine snails, land snails and slugs, and sea slugs) have a muscular foot which is used from crawling. The foot produces a sticky mucus and has a coating of fine cilia."

Rainmaker is actually super fun it's my favorite of the ranked modes, but yeah I remember thinking Turf War would eventually become a ranked mode and it never did. I guess it was because it's always available, but who knows.
If you could write one word on Pearl's forehead, what would you write?
>>181837665
Nothing else comes close
>>181861118

>>181850427
All I can think of for that X2 icon is that it'll multiply the effects of all three sub-stats on that piece of clothing. If that's what it does, it'll let you stack even more on a stat you want (For example, giving you 12 points in one stat, such as run speed. Possibly even more if the X2 can be applied to all pieces of clothing, giving you a whopping 18 points), but would it be worth the sacrifice of key primary abilities just to do that?
