There's pretty much a dead cert Sheldon's Picks will be mentioned and teased, possibly unveiling some kits with a release date for next patch. I just wonder if we'll get the glorious Wasabi incident from Splatoon 1, where NA and JP showed the kit as Splat Bomb/Inkstrike whilst Nintendo of Europe...

A Splatfest we've been aware of before the December Smash one was announced. I figured since we're about to get the news announcement in-game we should get this thread out and ready. This is also the perfect time to remind everybody to keep an eye out for the Switch news article that'll give us...

https://splatoonus.tumblr.com/post/180790706357/this-evening-december-4th-the-4th-set-of-kensa Yep, those 4 kits are indeed correct and accurate, and interestingly enough 2 of those (you could argue the 3rd) share kit ideas with Splatoon 1 weapons. We get a 52 Gal with Splash Walls again, but...

The European Splatfest has just been announced, and asks you whether you save the tastiest bit of a meal ‘til last or eat it first. Kicks off next Saturday at the typical European start times (2PM UK, 3PM CET, 4PM). This is actually a pretty neat Splatfest, and for once Marina has the best...

That's all there is to it, 10x and 100x battles are rare, being there as a way to counter match value when taking team size into account of how many Alpha vs Bravo matches occur. 10x are more common (as is expected), with x100 being significantly rarer. Unless I'm mistaken, they only occur in...

You do in fact get more XP on your Splatfest title when in Normal mode if your team qualifies for any of the synergy perks, which also goes for how much Clout you get for winning the match. It shows the points for winning with a x1.x multiplier, so it can increase your score faster than just...

After discovering that Normal mode ranks you up quicker at the very end of my run to King I don't think I'm ever bothering with Pro or "old" Splatfest queue again. I couldn't tell a difference in player skill, and honestly I'm not surprised Retro lost, I had to hard carry a bunch of times on...

There's been no mention of a new stage, and if Splatoon 2 was meant to cease updates after July this year, I'd easily wager Ancho-V Games was the last map to be released for this game, because it would mirror Splatoon 1 where Ancho-V was also the last map. I feel like the announcement of updates...

I'm going to stick by what I said many months ago, I'll hop on for 1 year, see the last of Splatoon 2 Splatfests and updates out, then bail. It may be cheap, but Nintendo's online quality is notoriously bad. You can't upgrade servers because there aren't any, in matches at least. The only...

I haven't seen the text regarding either our Adventure vs Relax holiday Splatfest or your Fork vs Spoon, so I can't tell what's being said. However, Splatfests are set to run for at least 2 years, a fact they said in the Splatoon 2 Direct from before the game launched and they also announced the...

Well Pearl is now winning 12-3 in Europe with Splatfests, with the only Marina wins coming from region shared results with Mikey vs Donnie, Raph vs Donnie and Action vs Comedy. Seeing as this Splatfest was never announced here the question was asking what sort of holiday would you rather have...

The sudden "love for Sloshers and Splatlings" is because they've finally realised how much neglect they showed for both weapon types. Until 3.0.0 put in the placeholder files for both (just codenames at that point) we had exactly 0 new Sloshers or Splatlings since coming over from Splatoon 1. On...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FmANK72CcUfzGLLNtMkRUI50PSQ44HCC-xQhS0Vm5uI/edit#gid=0 Just dumping this here before people continue to complain about Splatfests. Before Nintendo stopped leaving the real numbers of every Splatfest result in SplatNet 2 (the Nintendo Switch Online App...

This is probably the only thing I'll be coming back for in the future, after having a pretty unenjoyable experience of Rainmaker Rank X placement matches (which showed the heavy flaws with Wahoo World, what a bad map) I'm going to continue my reign of minimal ranked and only do Salmon Run for...

Weapons and Wahoo World are coming on the 1st of June, but no news on a new patch. I'd wager we'd see it next Wednesday as we usually get updates in the middle of the week each month, so keep an eye out next week. Chances are because the rank reset is going to be the 1st of every month we'll get...
