prob maybe because they have a women squad system, in the octo-expansion you know that
Marina went to an academy to get into the top spots in the army, maybe it was an all girl school
This makes me curious if there are squid equivalents to the less humanoid ocarians, like the ones that are just tentacles or the bosses.

That's tricky.

On one hand squid makes for great sushi.

On the other hand taco yaki is good festival food.

Octolings defected less than three weeks ago to join Inkling society

in that short time their first impressions have been

-Capn Cattlefish being racist
-Not being able to buy clothing unless you engage in combat sports
-Illegal child labor in which child soldiers are hired to invade Salmonid country, kill them, and steal their eggs for an unknown purpose
-Bitter fighting over orange juice, where the reward is living sea snails that are visibly terrified that you're going to turn them over to sea urchins to devour in exchange for gambling on clothing
-Official race war
Maybe Tartar was on to something.
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.
I'd put money on this splatfest having an impact on Splatoon 3.

yea me too, but i think the octi race are broader and they have many forms, of course alot of them are brainwashed and mutated with their technology they use. also we know DJ octavio has a human form when see the old crolls from the first game talking his old squid friend cuttlefish or someone else

This feels like a Splatfest they are going to use the results of in a future game. Like Callie vs. Marie, maybe this will decide if Splatoon 3's player character is an Inkling or Octoling?

This is only my 2nd Splatfest, so I was wondering, why does the less popular team usually win? Do they require less wins to get the battle victory point or something?

I noticed in the last one that I was having a lot more battles with my own side than with opposing teams, does that affect things in some way?

Nah, that would probably be the inevitable Pearl vs. Marina Splatfest. Remember, we still have another year's worth of Splatfests left.

The one with the most votes typically have to fight themselves, leading to meaningless victories.

I'm hoping the final splatfest is Off the Hook vs Squid Sisters personally.

The theory is that the more popular groups tend to get weighed down with more casual, less skilled players who pop in for a few matches, lose, and go about their day, while the smaller group tends to stick with the splatfest longer and play better as a result.

I really want to pick Octoling, but I'm getting pretty tired of always being on the losing side. Do I stick with my girl Marina one last time, or pick the winners for once?

One more question:

What time and date range do these run through?

Like, will it start Friday night at midnight and run through Saturday night at midnight or something?

Depends on your timezone, but they run from Midnight on Friday EST to Midnight on Saturday EST. They're always on Saturdays, once a month.

It's going to be so weird when they have the winner and say they are now legally better than the loser.

Neat that non-expansion owners become octolings when they support that team

but it'd be neater if we had octolings and inklings supporting either side

I wonder what the banter between Pearl and Marina is like...

Why? What could possibly go wrong with looking up a character from a Nintendo game in-

*Searches Marina at work

....oh.
If you're going to image search pretty much any female Nintendo character (or any fictional character for that matter) you'd better make sure your search engine isn't Bing.

Unfortunately, octolings don't have as much of a unique identity as I would've liked, outside of dressing more PG-13. But real life octopuses are way cooler than squids, so I'll support my octo brethren (We'll probably lose tho).

I want to join Octo just because
that horribly difficult final Octo Expansion fight that I miraculously beat after hours of retrying
made me hate squids forever. That is a real spoiler tag FYI.

Warming up for the race war. Been playing for 40 minutes on Turf War, haven't lost a game.

And of course they stick me with a level 3 right as I say that. Streak over. :(

Everybody is gonna jump on the octo wagon because it's new.

Time to the join the Squid Squad and end them all.

That's the same way I feel. I've always wanted to support Octolings, but since the expansion, it feels like everyone's on that wagon now, so I'd gladly rep for the aquatic OG.

Squid Life!
