Well, don't forget about the Callie and Marie amiibos. Maybe they will give us Splatfest exclusive functions like nighttime for each stage and replace some of the functions we will lose from the end of Splatfests.
It's the best possible theme considering half the Miiverse posts in the Plaza even when it's not Splatfest since the beginning have been "Next Splatfest should be Callie vs Marie!" - if it were a player vote, this is the theme the player base would have overwhelmingly written in. This is Splatoon Ballot right here.****, seriously? They're actually going with the lamest possible theme for the last Splatfest. How disappointing.
Well, count me in with the "really gonna miss Splatfests" crowd. I know I'm among the few to enjoy the hellish bloodbaths that they've become, even if they do manage to infuriate me every now and then.
This one I'm joining in purely for the hell of it. I don't need the Sea Snail rewards, for I have 100+ snails stored away and ways *cough*hax*cough* to make up for any bad rolls. Nay, I'm going in for the glory of my team, supporting my teammates and smiting the infidels that chose wrong. Also I wanna see if I can't make good on my promise of getting into the Top 100 in North America; as an added challenge, maybe I'll make an alt account to work my way up from the bottom of the ladder.
Wait, we can vote for the maps this time around? Cool, but now I'm left with the dilemma of what maps are my favorites... hmm, I know Kelp Dome's up there at least. On the other hand, I know right away I'm siding with Marie. She's still the overall Splatfest loser, and 17 wins out of 45 is kind of a meh record, but a win for her would make her tied with Callie in Japan (that's something, right?). Besides, I've always kinda preferred her personality over Callie's, though I can't say why.
As a lover of more comedic and storytelling Splatoon fanart, and secret CalliexMarie shipper (shut up and enjoy the lulz!), I hope it'll be especially spectacular for the months to come!All I ask is, the fanart better be spectacular. So many crossover battles to depict. So many things to use from their personalities. Lets close this one with the most ferver and finesse we can provide.
