I like Pearl more then Marina(love both though) and since it's gonna be the least popular team she's sure to win.


But I love my Octoling to much.

Curious how the dialogue will go since the Octo expansion makes it clear their really good friends.

Yeah the Octopus side will be loaded since people who don't own the DLC or haven't beaten it yet will certainly pick Octolings. Should be fun regardless. Can't wait to see the art.

How is this not the final splatfest?

Are we really gonna have an idol battle being a more important battle than the deciding who the superior race is?

I won't take this splatfest seriously unless the losing race is kicked out of Inkopolis.

The squidbeak Splatoon, headed by the revered Captain Craig Cuttlefish won The Great Turf War for the inklings, leaving the Octarians to retreat as the outcasts of society. Now the Octarians have risen again and begun a Great Turf War II. What will happen should the inklings lose? I want to find out but I'm also scared for my beloved inkling and even Octoling friends. It's clear that Octoling society isn't very kind.

Wait, in the lore of these games the Splatfests are actually used to enact laws or whatever in Inkopolis right?

Does that mean that the winner of this splatfest is crowned the superior race?

It's also a good advertising tool for the DLC, really.

No better bait to buying the expansion than letting people sample playing as an Octoling for free.

Congrats to the least popular team for their win.


Yep. It's gonna happen again.

Haha, yup

I'll go octoling because dat FRO

Obviously octopus will be the popular side due to all the people that didn't buy the expansion.

Squid it is!

The opposite. The popular team almost always loses.

I would go octo but everyone is gonna go octo so inkling it is.
Splatoon 2 fun fact: in NA/Oceania exclusive splatfests, the popular team is 4-2. In Europe exclusive splatfests, the popular team is still 4-2. (Note: this includes Mayo/Ketchup for both regions, as they were tallied separately.) For NA/Oceania/Europe splatfests, the popular team is... 1-7, with the 1 being Ice Cream from the pre-launch splatfest. Why the hell the pattern only holds for combined splatfests is anyone's guess. (The popular team in Japan is 5-9 for those curious).

since the least popular team seems to win usually, i'll go Squid and play as an Octo just to spite people.
You'll be locked to the species you choose for the splatfest.

Funny how the expansion goes through so much effort to make it feel like none of the squidkids really care about the differences, and then RACE WAR Y'ALL

This is also their equivalent of Pearl vs Marina I guess, the final Splatfest for next year will either be Off the Hook/Squid Sisters or Tournament of Idols (Callie vs Marie vs Pearl vs Marina)

Going for the triple crown (King/Queen in all 3 regions), let's go Team Squid

One week, fucking orange juice, the next, race war.

I can't tell if Inkling society is the height of banality or bigotry.

An Octoling just saved your entire civilization from certain destruction and you repay her by putting her societal status on the line in a constest rigged against her!

The best your Inkling Heroes had done before that was to bring back some batteries and rescue a celebrity for fuck's sake.

Tartar was right, these guys aren't deserving of inheriting the planet.

Expect the result of this splatfest to play a part in Splatoon 3's story.

So, the Plaza Art is going to go places, innit?
There better be new music. Because there should always be new Splatoon music.
