I still want to hold on to the hope that we'll get a surprise announcement of them toward the tail end of the Smash Direct, as unlikely as it seems. Even just getting the Inklings announced for Smash on that day with an Octoling alt or two would be a sign.

In the mean time, here's some art:

(Good thing I put this in a spoiler, this pic is huge...)

The Octos just want to play Turf Wars with the Squid Kids, Ninty! Why won't you let them? ;n;
The artist who made this just joined Squid Boards if you didn't know. It's a great picture by the way.

SPECULATION TIME~ What are everyone's thoughts on this tweet? Are our Octo babies finally being set free? Who knows?

All I can say is "HYYYYYYPE"

Nevermind it's a fake account, everything I know is a lie D':

Someday, Octos. Someday...

In the meantime, here's a thing:

Rapid Blaster Pro Deco this weekend? Please? :oops:
I've been messing around with the Proper noun the game Rapid Blaster Pro recently and I actually really enjoy it, but its loadout is pretty crappy, disruptors + Killer Wail will be pretty awesome.

I don't think we're getting anything this weekend because of Splatfest, but maybe next week? I personally think the Octobrush Nouveau is way overdue. The vanilla Octobrush has already been in the game for five months!

Also, I just noticed New Years Day is on a Friday. New Years 3.0 update anyone? (I WANT TO BELIEVE)

C'mon Europe! MORE Teasing? I already knew an update was likely this month but I honestly expect gear and weapon changes. Until I see it on my screen, we're not getting Octos.

It's Fake, nevermind. Why am I not surprised?

Diggin' it!
Is that dance a new callout? Is this the new squidbagging?

Can I now dance on the corpses of my enemies like Gal Deco users in Turf Wars? Squid parties with randoms are now enhanced with more options for ****ery? This is the best possible news.

The new maps look cool I guess.

Joke's aside though I didn't really pay much attention to the trailer. Usually when screencaps or videos of tbr maps get posted I get excited, give it a quick lookover and then wait for release so I can explore it myself and decide if I like it then rather than before. It just kinda makes the wait harder you know?

Good thing I stopped caring about Octolings. I can't wait to dance! And the new stages looks fun!

At this point, I'll stick with the OCTO lore of being part the observers but I'll be the Inkling among the rest. Someone needs to show you rowdy Octarian folk how business is done around Inkopolis. :P

But I want Octolings for you guys but not for me. I like my Inkling too much to possibly change at this point. But I'm still rooting for all of you guys.

Looks like playable Octolings aren't gonna be a thing then. Good to know they're dropping support for it already.
Who said the Octolings have to be paid DLC? There's no way they took any more effort than even a map does, and when everything is out, we will have gotten eleven free maps, so I really don't think they would be paid. I'd be willing to pay for them if they were though, lol
