Bloody hell, they've gone and done it. The race war is on!

Apparently if you pick Octolings you'll get to play as an Octoling without needing the expansion for the duration of the Splatfest!
Interesting way to get people to buy it I guess!

I mean, I would have said Octolings, but Drunka's made me feel guilty about picking either side now...

Subject: Re: SPLATFESTS - The End Has Come Wed 4 Jul 2018 - 11:28

Octolings at they've got to have there own race name, unlike those squids who are Inklings, not Squidlings.

Subject: Re: SPLATFESTS - The End Has Come Wed 4 Jul 2018 - 11:59

I want to unlock my Octoling so I can play as one any time, then choose Inkling in this Splatfest. Just to stick it to the man.

I actually am more inclined to go Octoling, though. The way they're portrayed is a surprisingly layered approach to conflict and "bad guys".

Where is the kid/squid splatfest?

I'd like to see them do that, with both teams locked into their chosen form. It would be, quite literally, shooting fish in a barrel.

Subject: Re: SPLATFESTS - The End Has Come Thu 5 Jul 2018 - 16:33

Would make for an interesting mode that with the squids perhaps having to sneak to the goal.

Like the Splatoon equivalent of Mercs V Spies? I'd be down for that.

Subject: Re: SPLATFESTS - The End Has Come Thu 5 Jul 2018 - 17:35

Ahhh Mercs vs Spies what a cracking multiplayer mode that was.

Subject: Re: SPLATFESTS - The End Has Come Thu 5 Jul 2018 - 18:17

Super Bunnyhop did an awesome video on Spies vs Mercs that I recommend checking out if you've got a spare 20 minutes.

Subject: Re: SPLATFESTS - The End Has Come Thu 5 Jul 2018 - 18:55

Aye that was a great video & it was the Blacklist version of SvM that I played, even though some of the loadouts in that MP could be broken it was still great fun......and if I remember correctly you could play it in classic mode too without the fancy loadouts.

Subject: Re: SPLATFESTS - The End Has Come Thu 5 Jul 2018 - 20:34

I'd never heard of that game mode before but that does sound very interesting. Something like that released today would be very refreshing as long as they get it right.

I have just - just now - realised that the name is a portmanteau of 'splat' and 'platoon', not of 'splat' and 'toon'. Hissy fit

Here's a picture of Balla when he came to this realisation:

Splatoon 3 E3 2020, I'm calling it now

Subject: Re: SPLATFESTS - The End Has Come Sun 7 Jul 2019 - 11:50

Anyway, as a neat freak who likes correct grammar, it will surprise absolutely nobody that I'm on Team Order. Or, y'know, would be if I played Splatoon.

I can't believe I share this forum with at least two FASCISTS!

I had a similar reaction recently when I realised F-Zero was a play on Formula 1. Embarrassed

Wow! I'm trying to think of one now that took me a while, but I think I'm generally pretty good at spotting the origins of these things.

That is a scary .gif. Shocked

And I'm assuming that's just dawned on you too about F-Zero... Laughing
