Splatoon 2

I'm loving the new Octo Expansion renders. This particular one is my favorite:

Seriously, look at this render! Octoling Girl doing the Dreamworks face, and Octoling Boy being all Shadow the Hedgehog-y, complete with Inkling Girl looking like she's protecting Inkling Boy! If this render isn't cute or adorable, then I don't know what that is anymore.

I sure hope the Octolings don't have an annoying facial expression when they win with Dualies.. Seriously, Dualies are pretty fun to use.
 
It looks like the girls are acting friendly towards each other while the boys are exchanging looks of mistrust.

I like how the Inklings are using the traditional weapons, while the Octolings are using the more unique weapons. The Octobrush is a swiping weapon and is a good fit for their name, while the Octoboy is using the shooter that is more powerful but is not as accurate.

Thank you for reading.

It's time to start voting for your favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!
 
I just started Splatoon 2 two days ago. Had a good transition from the first game (it took me a while to get comfortable with the controls). Currently at level 7.
 
I am impartial with the Ninja Turtles, but I feel like I want to vote for the left option only to see if it guarantees victory, which is the generally safe pick for western territories (Japanese Splatfests tend to have the right option winning the majority of the time).

Also, some of the weapons have changed their sets since the earlier datamines, and some new weapons might even be on the way, so if you are interested to know:
Carbon Roller Deco: Burst Bomb/Autobomb Launcher (previous: Sprinkler/Inkjet)
Custom Dualie Squelcher: Splat Bomb/Ink Cloud (previous: Splat Bomb/Ink Armour -> Sting Ray)
Tenta Sorella Brella: Splash Wall/Curling Bomb Launcher (previous: Ink Armour)

Other weapons:
Custom Hydra Splatling: Ink Mine/Ink Armour
Undercover Sorella Brella: Splat Bomb/Baller
Rapid Blaster Pro Deco: Splash Wall/Ink Armour
Light Tetra Dualies: Sprinkler/Splat Bomb Launcher
Bamboozler 14 Mk II: Toxic Mist/Burst Bomb Launcher

Bathtub Slosher - A Slosher that tosses three bouncing Blaster-like bubbles that have relatively weak power
Washtub Slosher
Serein Splatling - A Splatling where you can hold your charge like certain Chargers like the Squiffer and non-scoped Chargers
Downpour Splatling - A Splatling has quick shots when in phase 1 charge, but slower shots during phase 2 charge; Also the least accurate Splatling

I do not know what the Slosher weapons do, but I presume that Bathtub is lighter while the Washtub is heavier.

Based on this, I will say that the Slosher and Splatling will receive a new variant next month.

Thank you for reading.
 
On June, there are four new weapons, and their kits are interesting:

- Custom Dualie Squelcher has Splat Bomb and Ink Storm
- Undercover Sorella Brella has Splat Bomb and Baller
- Rapid Blaster Pro Deco has Splash Wall and Ink Armour
- Carbon Roller Deco has Burst Bomb and Autobomb Launcher

Of the weapons, I can see that Rapid Blaster Pro Deco will become a very powerful presence since it has Wall as an advantage, not to mention having Armour so that they are able to more safely dispatch the opposition. It's also one of the better weapons since it's long-range, has decent fire rate for the potential damage it does, and its shots have a blast radius so as long as 3 indirect hits are landed, the opponent is splatted.

Carbon Roller Deco is an interesting option because it contains two great things with the Splatoon 1's Carbon Rollers: the original version has Burst Bomb so that it is able to hit opponents with Burst Bomb and follow up with a powerful flick, which is useful because Carbon Roller is a fast weapon that is not as powerful as the Splat Roller. The Autobomb Launcher hearkens back to the Seeker Bomb Rush, which only the Deco variant has. The Seeker in the previous game tracks foes and paints a path, but the Autobomb only tracks foes. Still, they are able to follow opponents more reliably so it's actually annoying if there's an army of them.

Custom Dualie Squelcher has an overall powerful main weapon since it's a Dualie with long range, and its ability to shoot after rolling is a huge advantage. The kit that it has allows the player to be more offensive in their playstyle, which is likely better than the current one since Point Sensor isn't the best Sub Weapon for this weapon.

Undercover Sorella Brella has a very cool kit since both the Splat Bomb and Baller excels in chasing people away, or if they do approach then the player could use that to their advantage since the Brella has protection and can still fire while being shielded.

An interesting set of weapons, which leaves only the Tenta Sorella Brella, Custom Hydra Splatling, Bamboozler 13 Mk II and Light Tetra Dualies left to be revealed.

Thank you for reading.
 
Moreover, there are two new weapons teased: a Splatling and a Slosher.

The Splatling, which looks like a multi-coloured pen, has an interesting property where its accuracy changes depending on which phase your charge is. If you only charge up to the first phase, it will fire rapidly over a wide window (which makes it the least accurate Splatling), but in exchange you can KO quite quickly, provided you can get in range since it's short-ranged. If you charge for two phases, then in addition to what I mentioned, the next phase cause the Splatling to narrow the window to reduce the accuracy window and becomes longer ranged, making it able to pressure opponents better.

This Slosher is long-ranged, and has the property of exploding on the spot it lands, and I believe it's even possible to OHKO if the blast lands exactly on an unlucky Inkling/Octoling.
