Splatoon Thread - Night Owl Edition

Well they used to get along. Cutlefish and Octavio used to be friends before the war.

I like to think of them as complementary. The squids are more individualistic and value a sense of personal freedom, but lack a genuine kind of purpose to their lives outside of what the magic fax machine tells them to play paintball over.

The octopi on the other hand are more collective minded and have some sort of purpose that drives them to keep improving themselves, even if that purpose is just revenge. But based on what the developers have said in interviews, most of the Octarians are slaves to Octavio's wasabi beats which has kept them together all this time.

So chances are, now that Octavio is stuck in a prison, they may just end up flooding Inkopolis' ghettos anyway where they just jam with the jellyfish all day to techno music since they can't function any other way without an Octo King/Queen to use the beats to direct towards doing anything useful and they can't otherwise integrate into Inkling society without just being all awkward and clumsy without that techno hive mind.

octavio himself just couldnt help himself when he heard the squid sisters jam his radio.
im also curious as to why no octolings showed up in the final battle. just level design or some other purpose?

Probably just level design, but I do think it's kind of obvious that the average octarian, that is the tentacle creatures, are little more than drones with minimal intelligence.

Since we know that Octavio likely has a humanoid form himself and based on Toru Minegeshi's statements:

Octolings/Takozones may not appear in the last stage because they aren't as easily controlled by octavio's music, being the more "direct subordinates" mentioned here.

takozones

I can only wonder what the implications for Octolings are, especially given they're all female

Unless there are more male Octolings we haven't seen, it may be that all the Octolings are either part of the Octoking's harem or his daughters and serve as matriarchs over all the less intelligent tentacle creatures, who are probably all sterile males.

Cap'n Cuttlefish & the agents may have inadvertently pulled a USA, removed a dictator but created massive instability and infighting as a result as the females without Octavio will eat each other alive to see who will take Big Daddy's place.

...

Is there a way to make a Splatoon version of this meme?

Someone remind me agian people think "Smurfing" is okay in lower ranks. Ive been digging around and I've heard rumors of S/S+ players make Smurf accounts and just bully squids between C- and B+ making it more harder for people to get out of ranked

The fuck is going on.

some people arent in it for the challenge or for the art of perfect execution and good strategy. some people just wanna win and they dont care if its against a worthy opponent or not, as long as someone has to deal with the idea that youre better than them at a thing

...

People who purposefully smurf are 100%-chance assbags who pitch bitchfits if somebody happens to smurf them. I remember some MMO or something where some guys were 80+ levels higher than the people they were smurfing and then a max-level guy comes and kicks their shit in for picking on the new players and they had the biggest shitfit I've seen in my entire life.

I forgot what smurfing was for a second there since that's just general douchebaggery and not smurfing at all, though I guess it's the same kinds of people that pull that.

One day Nintendo suddenly makes you head director of a Splatoon animated series/OVA. You can use all of Nintendo's internal talent and tools to make it. You can also contract professionals outside the company if you need to.

What do?

Delegate to people who know what they're doing, throw in some dumb ideas as "creative" advisor, keep a humble salary for myself.

I WANT TO MARRY AN OCTOLING

I'd budget an anonymous survey to study everyday life of Jr. High students around Tokyo and use that information for world building Inkopolis.

Most of the show would be a sports drama centered around Turf Wars and Ranked Battles with the Octarians serving a Team Rocket role. And of course "saving the world".

There will be lots of qts for main and side cast.

I'd do something like this. But I would also add to the end of each episode humorous ten second omake segments featuring Callie & Marie

...

As far as Octarian antagonists go, I would introduce a squad of Octarian characters, with at least one of each Octarian type enemy in it, headed by an Octoling girl.

The squad is tasked with spying on the Inklings, particularly the main character and his/her friends, and has to send reports back underground of the Inklings' activities. The humor would be in the head Octoling always gets everything wrong in her reports about the Inklings because she's too autistic to understand that it's not that the Inklings are smart or deadly, just that her ideas are stupid and assume too much.

isn't that kinda long for an after credits omake?

Who said it would be after credits?

well, normally that's where you put them, and they're usually between like a few second to one full minut

For a season one finale I had the idea where the Octoling in command would be kicked out of the Octozons if she fails her mission one last time. You learn that the Octoling is actually one of Octavio's younger daughters trying to earn his respect because game of thrones.

Octoling does end up failing her mission because her arch enemy Agent 4 (Agent 3 is a mysterious hero that disappeared at the end of the Splatoon game). However after reading a translation of a sunken scroll prior episode where Octolings and Inklings were friends Agent 4 starts to question whether or not she and Octoling have to be enemies.

Then a higher Octoling with a seaweed crown takes over the lower Octoling's mission. She succeeds in taking back the zapfish and scroll. Then she blows up Captain Cuddlefish's house boat with a military grade ink strike. On the sinking boat she leaves the lesser Octoling for dead because that Octoling is useless to the Octarian army.

Despite the danger Agent 4 decides to risk her life to save the Octoling from the sinking ship. Somehow they both manage to survive. And before Cuddlefish's Splatoon can capture the Octoling she escapes.

The Octoling will return in season 2 as a rogue agent until the Inkling befriends her. Even then there's uncertainty whether or not the Octoling will join Agent 4's side.

Personally, I would avoid the Octarians being despicably evil and more of just funny antagonists who occasionally pose a threat but are just kind of dumb and stuck on their "all Inklings are evil" thing

I would like the idea of a black haired Octoling who is much more competent at presenting a threat to the heroes showing up and showing up the main Octo girl, but there would be a need to be lighthearted with it for me, like giving her ojou-sama laughs and still making her prone to some of the same octarian autism.

I probably wouldn't even have the Inkling characters ever become aware they're being stalked and sometimes threatened by the Octarians in the first place. They face threats caused by the Octarians meddling in various events, but generally, the characters never become too aware there are even Octarians around, except for Callie & Marie who maybe show up in their agent disguises, let alone that these Octarians are responsible for anything that happens to them. Add another element where sometimes the Inklings who do notice them don't seem to notice that much strange about them, like little Inkling kids stumbling across Octogirl hiding in the bushes spying on the MC's and thinking she's just some sort of funny looking squid or her being found out in the clothing store by the Jellyfish cashiers who just say "Hey, no window shop! You buy now!"

What if we just make a Dorombo gang clone with an Octoling and 2 Octotroopers?

Oh I wasn't planning on the Octarians to be pure evil. On paper it might sound like they are. But the truth is both Octarians and Inklings are fighting over the limited amount of Zapfish.

Cuddlefish's ship was a rust bucket anyway. If a butterfly landed in the right spot the whole ship would have top sided.

Plus Octolings will not be the only villains in the story. There are other inklings who literally bully, cheat, and blackmail their way to the top ranks. These bad inkling teams are the unlikeable villains.

How about fucking No.

I made a smurf to learn chargers, and I'll use it in squads if we have a B-rank player with us that day who doesn't want to fight S+ Jap death squads.
It's A+, though, it's not like we're bullying Cs.

Sorry I'm a filthy gaijin that knows jack about Japanese middle school kids user-kun.

is there any worse map for rainmaker than Urchin Underpass?

This idea has potential as long as it isn't handed to some CalSharts grad or a shoestring animation studio.

Underpass is a fine map for rainmaker, what are you smoking? Blackbelly, Hammerhead, Saltspray, Triggerfish, and Moray are all significantly worse.

you best be joking nigger

Where's the porn?

were making porn

Fuck I want to writefag Splatoon so badly now. Should I try?

Have a couple of rare lewds.

What's the worst that could happen?

FUCK I FORGOT TO SPOILER, MODS I'M SORRY

Gross!
But imagine if it was a squid boy instead

RED ALERT

WE HAVE MORE HACKERS IN RANKED AGIAN

After realising that even the Japanese had negative hype for anti-SMT, Nintendo authorised the freshest sales-booster imaginable.

does this exist without the fat guys talking over it?

See you around user. I hardly knew yee.

You don't mind if I continue this do you?

Go for it. Just remember to keep dialogue to a minimum since most people can't write dialogue for shit and the inklings don't actually talk.

...

Callie and Marie are inklings. I'm going to add a little dialogue. I'm sure by now the Squid Research Lab finished their translator to interpret "Inklish" into "English".

Worse comes to worse,I could always write the dialogue as "C'MON" and "BOOYAH".

Their broadcasts are subtitled for your viewing pleasure, user. And because it's a religious tradition to uphold the language of the Old Ones, if their Splatfest fax machine covered in prayer slips is anything to go by.

Then read the dialogue as subtitles then. Because I know fuck-all about Japanese.

...

...

Now that's more like it

twitter.com/y_agc

yeah maybe, loli tech wiz is pretty great

If you're gonna writefag just write normally and quit greentexting

Whelp…

AW YEAH TOWER CONTROL ON URCHIN UNDERPASS AND AROWANA MALL

AW YEAH

Is this a bugchasing doujin?

...

My ID is probably filtered by now. Still let's try again.

Inkling and Octoling dialogue are spoilered. Don't read spoiler if you don't want them to talk.

—–

Octospy waits a minute. It looks like the coast is clear. Octospy quietly steps out from behind curtains. Then suddenly an orange tentacle inkling bumps into Octospy. Octospy freezes as orange headed inkling stares at her for a moment.

Immediately Inkling recognizes Octospy. The inkling smiles. Then she reaches out to Octospy.

Flow: "There you are!"

Inkling lands hug on Octospy.

Flow: "I knew we'd meet again."

Octospy grabs Inkling's hands and tentacle hair and hold them behind Inkling's back and pushes her to the ground.

Octavia: "You shouldn't drop your guard around your enemies."

Inkling quietly pleas for release. She looks at Octospy with innocent eyes.

Flow: "But-but we don't have to be enemies anymore."
"You got kicked out of your Splatoon right?"

Octospy growls a hiss. However Jelenzo who is around the corner notices the commotion. Octospy helps inkling back up and dusts off Inkling's clothes. Just as Octospy is about to leave shop…

Flow: "Wait!"

(1/2)

…Inkling grabs Octospy's hand and calls for Jellenzo.

Octavia: "What are you doing?"

Jelenzo walks up to Octospy. He is quite annoyed.

Jelenzo: "Welcome to shop newcomer. Now-"

Just as Jelenzo is about to tell his customers off. He stops to notice Octospy. Octospy is sweltering in anticipation.

Jelenzo: "Oh! Oh-hoh! Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh!"

Jelenzo seems to be pleasantly surprised by his guest. He claps two of his tentacles together and rubs them.

Jelenzo: "You there!"

Octospy looks around.

Jelenzo: "Yes, You! freshest newest customer I see in shop!"

Octospy shakes her head.

Octavia: "No, not really."

Jelenzo carefully examines the Octospy.

Jelenzo: "No, you ARE fresh."
"I don’t see anyone else as fresh as you around."

Inkling folds her arms and scowls.

Jelenzo: "You are like level twenty fresh at least."

Octospy shakes head again as Jelenzo persists his examination.

Jelenzo: "You look fresh.”
"You smell fresh."

Jelenzo holds Octospy's hand and feels it.

Jelenzo: "You feel fresh!"
"You may freshly taste too!"

Embarrassed, Octospy withdraws her hand before Jelenzo could kiss it. Then Jelenzo gets behind Octospy and pushes her into his store floor.

Jelenzo: "Lets find you fresh gear."
"Your old duds look like they need a good wash."

Octospy tries to resist.

Octavia: "Sir, thank you for the offer but I really have to leave soon."

Jelenzo: "Now now! It won't take long finding fresh clothes."
"Just a minute."

Inkling smiles and waves at the Octospy as Octospy is stuffed into the changing room with a set of clothes.

(2/2)

...

Yes, good

God, I fucking hate this "lose points for disconnecting" shit. I just spent nearly twelve hours trying to get back to A- and every time I was at like 97 points, it kept crapping on me. I have good internet too.

wouldn't it have been much more courteous to use a pastebin?

Also, if there are any octofriends who want more classic style techno like octavio's wasabi-powered tunes but don't know where to look, i know plenty

Underpass is much better for Tower Control than Rainmaker if you ask me. The whole level feels too much like an obstacle course, which makes Rainmaker battles feel a bit longer and more tedious than they need to be.

...

on the bright side, after half a day of this game kicking me in the sleep deprived balls, chances are I have finally managed to control my inner sperg lord.

Late response. Have to get ready for work.

Pastebin just does text I think. I wanted the formatting to spoiler the dialogue so it can be read with or without it. (I could have posted two pastebin links now that I think about it).

But it doesn't matter. I don't think I'll be continuing this judging from reception. It was a nice exercise. I've already screwed up posting incorrectly twice.

you might get a better reception on /monster/. they do stories all the time, and splatoon is monster girls

I just got splatoon (and a Wii U) yesterday.

Been playing for a few hours and it's pretty fun, but I keep getting matched with people like level 40-50 and getting destroyed. I'm only rank 4 at the moment and no joke i have been up against a full team of level 40+ players, not fun.

Also, totally new to muh wii u. What games should I get? Any cool free shit I can download? Been fucking around in miiverse shitposting on little kid's profiles.

Wonderful 101
Bayonetta 2
Xenblade Chronicles X
The new Zelda

tropical freeze and the rayman games are good, although you could just 'acquire' the raymans on the pc

Is that part of a comic? If so, do you have the rest?

What said, as well as:
Bayonetta 1
Mario Kart 8
Nintendoland (if you have friends)
Tropical Dong Expand
Shantae games (also on PC)
Starfox Zero (if you're into that)
Super Mario 3D World
Smash 4 (if you want)
Pikmin 3 (if you want)

I'm sure I'm missing some. The Wii U has a lot of good exclusives.

Dude Wonderful 101 is so good its depressing more people don't know about it.
Only get it if you are an ally of justice, and can get behind wonky mechanics.

If you get Xenoblade Chronicles X make sure you get it used if you can.

/monster/ also expects porn and waifus.

I read this doujin featuring spike the other day, so I get the rustling of jimmies when I see this thread OP.

Spike has a vomit fetish. It starts pretty tame but the ending was quite shocking.

...

Is /monster/ good again yet?

I'm still waiting for a pure lewd yuri doujin of Callie and Marie.

Pretty sure it's like a zine or something. I linked the artist's twitter here

Pick one

Its not as active as the top boards here, but it gets a decent amount of posts in a day. Realize that on the slower boards, for most threads its not "post and wait for replys," its "post and come back tomorrow to see if anyone replied."

I'm still waiting on a good anything doujin of anything. All this shit art in these doujins is driving me crazy, but that's to be expected since doujins are usually only drawn by retards.

You mean pick both

Yuri is pretty shit, m8. It's usually drawn awful.

I was actually talking about if the board changed back to how it was in it's earlier days. Because they became a lot more sensitive to after I left because I thought it was changing and came back and then left again after being perma banned for one post back in december for calling an OP a faggot. I also realized they became that way after the monster mansume anime aired.

You can pick both of those two options

reported and filtered

Whichever one that's about mutual love and not domination. Also no random dicks.

/monster/ has been "meh" to me. There was a cuckold that killed the DHEP threads. I haven't really been keeping up with it. It's mostly serial CYOAs now.

Which is funny to me because I remember how shocked they were when 4chan /jp/ had a story about a female ninja monster was sent on a mission and on the way met a guy blah blah then on the way back on the wagon cucked him with the VIP. It looks like it came full circle.

reported and filtered

GET THIS DEGENERATE FILTH OUTTA HERE

It isn't honestly that bad fam, just a bit rough around the edges, though if I had to see a splatoon anime, I think I'd prefer the Octolings occasionally being a threat, but generally they are just trying to get by idea myself

If I try again I'll write a pilot script draft either as a PDF or a pastebin. Shows live or die by the pilot. So the pilot has to capture the essence of the entire show.

I know I'm going to need help with an editor. We'll see what happens.

Well, according to the developers, the Inklings apparently believe the splatfest ideas come from God when in actuality they're messages from the past being relayed to the fax machine via a satellite. Basically, in the past, the humans might have had an argument about something and that conversation was recorded and is relayed to the satellite which by the time it is bounced off the satellite and reaches back to earth, some 12,000 years have passed, and the inklings think the message is from some higher force telling them to decide which is better.

As has been said, the inklings generally speaking seem blissfully unaware of the octarians as anything other than something of the past. Which is why I said the joke would be funnier if the octarians think the inklings' entire existence is centered around oppressing them and preparing to eliminate them but the truth is that even when they notice the octarians, most don't seem to care very much to halt their every day lives

Oh I'm pretty sure when Octospy reaches Inkopolis the squids won't think much of her. When I wrote the snippet I had Season 2 in mind after the Octoling deserts her side. Kinda why the Inkling knew the Octospy beforehand.

Probably should have made it clear that's the context I was going for.

I also imagine Octolings fight in their own league of turf wars in Octo Valley. Which is why Jelenzo immediately smelled out the Octospy's rank.

If I continued the scene the Octospy would try out various outfits. And each outfit would have made her feel different things based on the ability. Then when Octospy shows Jelenzo she has no cash he kicks Octospy out of his boutique.

Inkling then buys the Octospy a spare shirt before Octospy runs away. Why? Because Inkling wants to show Octospy that her species aren't really bad people.

Of course there are other Octarians underground plotting to steal Zapfish from Inkopolis again. It's what they have to do to escape the now rising sea.

Anyone wanna squad?

I don't think this makes much sense with what we know from the game.

The critical difference between the two species is that octarians are more collectively focused and probably as a result do not compete with each other as much. Meanwhile inklings behave more as individuals. This leads the octarians to many misunderstandings. They see inklings fighting in turf wars and unable to understand that this is just for entertainment, they "logically" conclude that the inklings love war to the point that they fight among themselves for no other reason than to experience the thrill of it, while the noble octarian race is free of such barbarism. They don't understand the obsession with fashion because why spend tons of money and time on all these complicated wardrobes that set you apart from your fellows when you could have a single functional outfit that emphasizes your unity as a race? Even their art is centered around their collective identity as an "oppressed" people under the inklings

It is highly unlikely that there's any real competitiveness among the Octarians. Rather each octarian probably just accepts his or her role in society. Even the octolings are probably tech wizards, but very single minded. That's why I theorized that without Octavio, they will likely become destitute unless another highly evolved octarian takes his place.

so what youre saying is they have octism

well, they're just more collectivist and organized.

they collect different colored legos and organize them by color and from smallest to largest

how else are you gonna survive underground?

Then that snippet I wrote is trash then unless there's another way to judge freshness via experience or training.

Course this could explain why an inexperienced and competitive Inkling keeps winning against a trained Octoling (aside from the pretty poor AI they have in game).

You seen the shit they live on underground? Legos is tip of the iceberg.

According to Sunken Scroll #14, the general agreement is that the inklings greater number of limbs gave them the advantage, which basically means that the inklings owe their victory to brawn, not brains, as well as to a happenstance of somebody unplugging one of the octarians' machines. This also might mean that one reason for the relative superiority of octarian technology is that octarians had to make up for not only having as much underground but also for their lack of limbs through technology. Were it not however for the fact that Inklings assigned a sacred quality to Turf Wars, they might also have not been able to check the growth of Octarian science & tech beyond their own by way of physical strength & agility.

Sounds like the perfect propaganda to portray Inklings as bullies because they're stronger and have more limbs while Octarians as the innocent nerds/octists in this new age.

I wonder how recent Octolings are in Octarian evolution. Octolings seem much more versitile than any other soldier Octarians have.

Also considering most Octarian forces are deformed tentacles rather than humanoids it makes me wonder. Most Octarians have one form of unit that uses a certain type of weapon like a charger or blaster. But I wonder how effective a squad of competent Octolings would be if they used a variety of weapons like Inklings use in turf wars.

I always believed Octolings are the true Octarians and all the Octotroopers are simply imperfect clone soldiers used for war efforts as they don't want to risk their true selves, as Octopus tentacles can be regrown.

I wonder if female Octolings are the only ones left or if there are males Octolings.

I hit submit too soon. I know there's one possible male Octoling DJ Octavio. Just wondering if there are others.

Well, the sunken scrolls generally agree that the octarians are smarter with their technology "defying established science"

If by Octolings you mean Octarians who change into human form, obviously they aren't new since we see Octavio and Cuttle Fish having a friendly chat in humanoid form at some point before the war broke out.

Each Octarian soldier type seems to use a single kind of weapon or weapon set while inklings seem much more versatile. Maybe it has something to with their nature.

I'm thinking it might be like this: the tentacle creatures we see are the general body of Octarians, that is they're the general civilian population as they seem to occupy most military and civilian roles. The Octolings, or Takozones (Octo-amazons) are just a special class of enforcers who have evolved or been bred in such a way that they are more aggressive than the average octarian and thus much more competent in battle, not least of all due to more limbs.

Since, Octolangelo's "Paradise Lost" shows both a male and female tentacle creature, it doesn't seem that the humanoids are necessary for the species to continue.

Hey, a bunch of tournaments and merch we'll never get!

topics.nintendo.co.jp/c/article/67c13622-2bb1-11e6-8360-063b7ac45a6d.html

I still haven't sent off my WiiU to Nintendo. I miss the Japs, and y'all nerds

Let me just check those real quick

But I heard there was gonna be a splatoon tournament in Chicago but you need your Wii U and the gear you "Roll scummed"

...

LOL

...

Inklings might have gone through a similar evolution through a similar time as Octarians. We probably won't see Squid versions of Octotroopers anytime soon.

I also read somewhere that the Octarian king uses music to control/hypnotize (preferrably hypnosis because suggestion over mind control) the Octarians to do his bidding.

Random question: Think Splatoon will be ported or sequelized for NX?

WEW gotta check these

I don't think it's a case of each species following the same linear path and the inklings just being ahead. If that were the case, it would be strange that the octarians have managed to become so much more advanced despite being behind on the evolutionary scale.

It's more likely the two species just evolved along separate lines for whatever reasons. The Inklings evolved in such a way that there are no subclasses of inkling and they are all of the same general physical build and intelligence. The Octarians evolved into several subgroups who organize themselves hierarchically. The fewer humanoids probably occupy the role of either military or political elites because the tentacle creatures depend on them for protection.

Both the Inklings and the Octarians seem to share a love of music. The Octarians seem to prefer a sort of techno/electro-pop and it may be that Octavio and Octarian bands use this music because it serves a practical purpose of keeping the Octarians together as a group. Octavio also responded positively at first to Callie & Marie's music, so it could be that Octarian and Inkling tastes sometimes converge or that Callie & Marie's music is somehow more octarian than most Inkling music.

I'm aroused, yet disgusted and saddened after reading this.

Its a boring Doujin if you ask me

64 pages of Snoresville

Finally got a chance to read this.

Holy fuck that's a terrible way for an Inkling to go.

There must be a special hell for doujin artists to draw and write doujins that makes you feel genuine anger instead of feeling like fapping to it.

Japan just doesn't have good mental care

WHOSE IN THE MUMBLE CAUSE IM READY TO SOMEWHAT RUMBLE

for what purpose

We have three now, could use at least one more

BIZARRO TFE

So how do you think Spyke gets the gear?

He cuts back alley deals with the store owners

Takes off a Chinese sticker shaped like a star and pastes it on the gear

wut?

Only need one more for full custom games

Splatfest begins and of course it's mostly night owls.

Fuck my Ika Musume gear is all Chinese knock offs. How long do I have until I die from lead paint?

youtube.com/c/KingCriticRules/live
Watch me suck dick at Splatoon live.

How bout you fuck off back to Africa for your shitty fucking stream you limp dicked fuck

Hey lad, get in mumble, we have 7 people playing.

How about you join our private game and get your shit pushed in like the good faggot you are.

So, I literally lost 150 splatfest points to disconnections.

I don't get it. No device in my house has this problem and other Wii U games and application don't have any problem. It's only with Splatoon where internet problems prevent me from actually playing the fucking game.

peer to peer connections can be a bitch

Yo, I haven't played Splatoon in a while. Why does team night owl go up against team night owl? It might have something to do with not that many early birds playing at the moment.

Its super early for splatfest now but Maybe team Owl has the popular vote.

Connection improved but still DC's at odd times, I am gonna keep trying but basically if you want to play this game with anything other than fibre internet, its just something you gotta deal. Its mostly nintendo's weakness not having enough experience creating multiplayer games.

I wonder who could be behind this

Hilarious that you said that when I have a Moon Man theme going with my channel.

All in the Splatfest or what?

Oh, private game? Well, fuck, I got bodied enough during the stream. I don't really feel like that is the best idea right now. I'm pretty pissed off.

That's the other reason I stopped. Almost no early birds on in the middle of the night.

Nigga, you are about more than one hour late after we stopped, we are here for almost the entire friday night, doing squads (less than 6 people) or privates (more than 6 people).

Get on mumble tomorrow night then, alternatively post your NNID so we can play with you. My NNID is noobie87

i want to tongue wrestle a squid loli

Hows Splatfest going for you guys

I got 1 game in and the next one Dc'd

Took a break and came back to playing at around 1am, managed to have no DC issues until about 10 minutes ago. Got some good winning streaks so my score is sort of optimized so I guess I'll take a quick nap in a little bit and hope for the best.

I manage to hook up with two sick players and got highest ranking player in most of my matches since I switched to the Slosher.

I was hoping those two guys could help me get my score back up to what it was before the DC had hit me hours earlier, but then after like 6 matches we suddenly got stuck with some guy that chose to use a Splatterscope. He ruined our streak and drove my new friends away. Thanks, "Redd".

I don't know what it is about this game, but when I ran into those connectivity issues, I flipped out and threw a cup of water across the room, which pissed my mom off.

If you cant control yourself, don't play it, it never gets better trust me, I used to be S and now I am stuck in A- due to continuous DCs, not that I care but I am just giving you an example of how bad it is especially if you have third world internet like me.

I can stomach it usually if I know when to take breaks. I try to control myself cause when I get angry and sperg out, I don't have nearly as much fun. I guess I was extra upset cause it was Splatfest, that and my life hasn't been going too great lately so the last thing I need is one of my favorite games not working on men when I need an escape.

Holy shit do I know that feel, I have been playing splatoon for a year, and since last year I have always wanted to use this game as an escape, but all the annoying things at certain points almost made me quit the game entirely, yet something about the game brings me back and everytime I get more zen, more peaceful, but yeah sucks that I love this game so much and yet had to deal with all these issues.

hey connection issues are frustrating
whats worse than getting in your groove after a few lousy games and then having it taken away from you by an "act of god"?
anthrax is worse

So I'm lurking around the Splatoon Junctions and it turns out Team Night owl has Somewhat 100% of the Popular vote

That explains why every lobby I've been in so far have had no Early Birds

well, my life is pretty shit, although admittedly they're probably just first world world problems. 25 years old. Never had a job. Never had a gf. Not really doing too well in school (which I only chose to do so I wasn't a total NEET and so I could get some government cheese). Only source of income is whatever I can wrangle out of Uncle Sam and can mooch off family & friends. Still live with my mom. Never got a driver's license. Grew up with violent drug addicts for siblings. Family put all their hopes in me that I would succeed and do something great to sort of redeem my family. Brothers clean their acts up and start their own families. Now I'm the loser of the family and the epitome of everything wrong with the weeaboo millenial manchild generation.

I pretty much need games like this at this point and when they don't work on me when I need them and I can't control it, I freak.

bear in mind that the inklings couldn't even wake up to fight the octarians. The early birds were doomed from the start.

I saw plenty of early birds earlier.

wew

Wow I made it into the 1800's New highscore

Same.

'Cuz who plays Splatoon during the daytime, lel.

Fuck I wish I had more than one ethernet cable available in my room. I'd join mumble but my PC doesn't have WiFi.
Unless there's a Mumble app for android that isn't garbage out there.

Alright made it to Night Owl King

Time for a break.

postin smilfs

I wish I had a Wii U and Splatoon.

FRIENDLY REMINDER TO BULLY SQUID BOYS WITH SPANKINGS IF THEY MISBEHAVE (WHICH IS OFTEN)

Please quit posting, this is garbage.

...

Whoever made that 1st one should shoot themelves

The same for whoever made the first 2 as well

Whoever made all of them, really.

...

Hmm not a lot of people or well people I know participated in this splatfest.

Okay I'm getting tired of these god damn mirror matches from Night Owl

Anybody want to do privates? We need 1 or 2 more people

SQUIDS!
I SUMMON THEE FROM ACROSS SPACE AND TIME!

i've lost 2 outta six i'm doing ok

All right i'm here what the fuck do you want?
I'm not a squid though

Can you dump me some Pokemon Gym leader porn?

I only dump porn in shitposting threads and when I'm drunk. So no I will not dump you any pokemon gym leader porn.

You are the worst summon I have seen

Jesus fuck man

I can win you splat games.. I mean I ain't as malleable as you squids but as a human I'm pretty tough and can move around unlike you can. I'm also a decent shot at 700 yards

Still need one more for customs

So, who won? I don't feel like booting up my wii u to find out.

NIGHT OWLS WON 71% AND WON GAMES WEW

Post screens, is that a sweep?

LEL

Night owl Swept it

71% popularity
51% Wins

Straight up Land slide

...

Shit getting real.

OH FUCK!!!!

>they pick each other but dont reveal it till the end

OH SHIT ITS ON

NIGGA, ITS ON

ALL BETS ON CALLIE FOR ME PLEASE

Callie vs Marie is coming!
The WAIFU WARS are happening!

I am scared next one might actually be the last splatfest
That is some heavy implications they left in that banter

But it didnt have that kind of banter in the japanese version though, probably NOA putting up some heat.

Assuming Japan gets another Splatfest before we do, though - it'll be interesting to see if they have that banter after their next one.

The waifu wars may well be coming.

...

Squid Sister amiibos are showing up next month, I bet their SERIOUS BUSINESS splatfest will be a product tie-in.

B-but they are not sold separately in NA

There's also supposed to be a new concert in Paris coming up soon.

I almost made top 100 for this splatfest

But I had a 6 game losing streak I was at 1850 and needed 1 more to get past 1860

I finally made it to A+
but at what cost

You know what to do user

...

...

Oh boy

Come to think of it, this next one could very well be the last Splatfest.

Given that the Amiibos' effect seems to be to summon the Splatfest stages and have the Squid Sisters perform for you whenever you want, it's possible they might be drawing the regular online events to a close in one spectacular final battle (which is obviously going to be the long-awaited "Callie vs Marie" Splatfest).

I kind of hope not, but it would make some sense.

twas it thou sanity

It seems too soon to have a final splatfest though. The game is only a year old. Why not keep the Splatfests going until Splatoon 2?

that looks like an interesting animation

Wakfu is what its called if you are interested.
French Cartoon based on the video game of the same name.
Its pretty alright. Fresh air for the drought of action cartoons as of late

(Checked)
Europe didn't get any dialogue like that just the usual post results banter. What the fuck is going on in America?

Squid Sisters Civil War in the states.

I will always be on Callie's side, she did nothing wrong. It was always Marie that provoked her, intentional or not.

Callie is a delinquent and a troublemaker. I cannot rightly support someone like that.

Also, she's a Roller

...

I could live with a Callie vs Marie worldwide Splatfest. Haven't had this strong a drive to participate since Pokemon Red Vs Pokemon Blue.

The thing is canonically, the Splatfest themes come from a fax machine that relays messages from the past when humans ruled the world. So how could the fax machine say Callie vs Marie?

They go against it or it shows the types of squids callie and Marie are

Aren't all the Inklings the same type of squid?

Pretty much they just change skin ,hair and color

...

ayyyyyy I got another perfect roll

That's a pretty good trip and set for any shooter

Some of you Calliefags are alright

Don't play on her team in the next Splatfest

Some shitty Oc stolen from halfchan

What good news to wake up to.

YEAH!

So, I know this has probably been discussed multiple times, but what are your hopes for the eventual Splatoon sequel or what are your ideas for spin-off side games.

For an official sequel:

Ideas for a spin-off:

rhythm rpg where you create a character and work to become Inkopolis' next pop sensation

Help make the Octarians' future bright again by bringing power back to the Kettles. Agents 1 & 2 are the main antagonists. Could set the stage for the story in the next main game.

He' snot wrong though….

I wouldn't want to identify myself as a squid. The thought of creating half-inkling, half-human mutt babies is far more appealing.

Stop this.

I said I wouldn't

You are a bit late Matthew

...

What if I told you that Inklings are really shape shifting slimes?

Well, on one hand, I guess I was an asshole for enjoying all those Saltspray Rig matches thanks to the range being just enough to one and two shot squids from behind cover, but I stand by my principles.

Finished leveling up these new shoe yesterday. The RNG gods were feeling merciful.

You know what I don't see a lot of people doing when they encounter splash walls. They don't throw any bombs(Suction bombs or splatbombs) into them Its an easy unsuspecting kill, and I'm surprised no one does this

Anyone have that video of exp grinding? I believe it had a brush in warehouse.
I'm also curious if it works in privates or if it would need to be with the "Join friends" option.

that shit is upside down

So, Marie made a comment about eating "Octo Pie"

Does that mean what I think it means?

Oh EXP Grinding or as the Japs call it "Fast Cash Squids"

Basically you need a team of Brushes Aeryosprays

Find a Tiny corner of the map and create 4 on one side and 4 on the other side and just focus all your paint in the center of the corner you found and just keep doing that for over 3 minutes

I do this on the side with my japanese friend who also money grinds but you can get up to 3000 points if everyone participates

Gear cant grind in Private battles.

We just need one more for private battles.

Only need one moere
Get in here!

...

...

WOOMY SWAG

You’re garbage.
The fourth one is the only good one.

HE STUCK IT!!!

...

...

Imagine a boy inkling's ass got incredibly huge because he transformed wrong, haha

sorry, i can't hear you over this dankness

...

We gotta make some more memes, guys.

Don't your memes be dreams !

octavio was a good boi

seriously though, sandcastlefags burn through too much oxygen holy shit are you dinosaurs?

its not like a cheese danish contains a danish person
but maybe they would if they were tasty

user, don't be such an inkling apologist. Open your eyes. It all makes sense

im not an inkling apologist im a loli apologist

WHOSE DOWN FOR A TWIN SQUAD!!

I just checked the mumble and didn't see anyone
You there?

WHOOPS ONE OF MY CLANFAG FRIENDS ASKED ME TO TWIN SQUAD

WEW

Your lolis are cold blooded murderers who devour intelligent young octarians for breakfast.

Ayyyy am I Squidfamous yet

...

...

thats adorable

THE CHINESE STRIKE AGIAN!!!

I wonder who could be behind this?

The OctoNozzle is definitely the easiest boss.

probably disney again

For a mobile splatoon game that looks pretty impressive, even better than disney's lame ass attempt.

Man, I just saw that splatoon banner with the inkling swaying her hips and saying "Face it, you are addicted"

Tried to save it but I guess I opened too many tabs and the image I saved was different. But anyway if someone in this thread made it, that is awesome.

...

That looks so painfully infuriating to play.

Anyone else using the gear to make builds for ranked battle

So far the brands Ive been rolling and stuffing is Rockenburg and Krak-On

That abit of Skalop to give me respawn up roll subs

...

Shut up Steven.

I got a capture card and I've overheated my computer.

Let's do some theme battles before it explodes for good shake my head family.

GUYS GET THE FUCK IN HERE ITS HAPPENING!!!!

We’ve had 15 inkredible Splatfests so far! While the good times in Inkopolis will continue to roll on, the next Splatfest will be… drumroll, please… the final Splatfest.

Time and time again, we’ve heard you pledge allegiance not to your favorite team choice, but to your favorite Squid Sister. Now, it’s time to show your support in the Squid Sisters Showdown! The theme is: Are you Team Callie or Team Marie?

The showdown begins at 2 AM PT on Friday, July 22, until 2 AM PT on Sunday, July 24. This will be the last Splatfest extravaganza, and we’d like everyone to have a blast!

The last Splatfest will be taking place (almost) at the same time in all regions. However the matchups will be different – the players in Japan will be matched up with those in Japan, and the players in North America and Europe will be matched up with each other.

The Top 100 Players will also be tallied and announced separately for Japan region and for North America and Europe regions. Though the results will be collected from all regions, they will be combined together and announced at the same time.

In-game announcement and voting will start at 7 PM PT on Monday, July 4. Until then, please prepare yourself for the hardest decision you’ll make in your lifetime by doing some soul searching, going on a walkabout, meditating or just reading Squid Sisters fan fiction.

Time to splat

I know this isn't the end of Splatoon or anything, but I've been off the game for a while and it makes me sad that I won't get to participate in the final splatfest
all you fresh squids have fun, make it one to remember

IT IS TIME FOR ME TO SPLAT, AND IT IS TIME FOR ME TO GET SPLATTED. MY MARIE CRUSADE BEGINS HERE.

Nice [SQUID FORUM] post.

So, how are we supposed to level up/improve our equipment if there won't be any more splatfests and therefore no more super snails?

You can buy them from Spyke, but it's pretty expensive.

Just realized this.
Fuck I'm stupid.

oh shit
I WILL DEFEND YOUR HONOR, MARIE

I am willing to bet the splatfests are going to go on repeat.

Nigga its the LAST SPLATFEST and you just now realized that?

HOLY FUCK THIS IS GONNA BE THE BIGGEST SPLATFEST EVER!!

Don't forget to get your Callie and Marie amiibos next Friday.

Nintendo, give me free stuff

What comes after that?

I will give my all for Marie, but it still hurts

here you go fam

Guess I'll dust off the gamepad for this one last fight.

...

i just dont know

im not ready im not ready what am i going to do oh my christ i need more time
we saw it coming, i saw it coming but its already here? why does time work against me

NO NO NO NO

THIS CANT BE HAPPENING

I'll be there in spirit…

…for Callie.

Don't let me down, boys.

MARIE WILL DARE IT
