This is only for the Splatfests though, right? We don't need to sit through a dumb map explanation every time they rotate again like with the first game do we?

Ah

I thought all the Octolings were the sworn enemies of Inklings? Interesting that they've given an Octoling a neutral role, it looks like

There have been time were both were at peace acording to lore, but last war was won by the inklings and as a result the octos lost territory they needed to live.

Missed the Direct because of work, just catching up now.

What's up with Pearl's face? Is she a small child?

Wouldn't be surprised if she is, her design is a lot more cutesy than Marina's and her mannerism's when we saw her in motion were pretty childish.

Can't wait to watch this Direct after work. Splatoon was a great game but only lasted about a month or two for me. I have a feeling I will play Splatoon 2 a bit more often though.

Marina is the italian of Marie, I can't wait to never understand discussion about them on Neogaf

I don't understand why though? How does the pun even work with Marina? Calamarina? Bad choice which is made even worse now that Marina truly exists.

Pearl reminds me of Cutegirl from the comic Snotgirl in that it looks like she is trying really really hard to look cute to keep up her public image

I would not be surprised if she ends up being a lot older than everyone thinks as a goof

Can't wait for the Splatfest of Pearl vs Marina.

Marina will absolutely dominate against Pearl.

There's something I find annoying about Pearl.....

So when the final Splatfest comes, everyone will be #TeamMarina, which means that Marina will wear a kimono in Splatoon 3's story mode, and Pearl will be the brainwashed villain.

Oh, the Squid Sisters will be around, but they'll now be cynical adults working as high-powered producers, and the storyline will revolve around them crushing the souls of young Inkling girls by recruiting them as pop idols and them dropping them for the next hot thing. It'll be a commentary on the cruel engine of commercialism and how it corrupts the innocence of our youth. Splatoon's story growing with its audience, you see.
