Speaking of which, I got stupid lucky and scored an unopened imported Squid amiibo from an online seller who didn't know how to set reserve prices or advertise for $10 and found an Inkling Girl at a major retailer going for the same. Daisy's still being shipped and processed, but I just finished Orange's missions.

I sure said that!

The first Amiibo I picked up was the Inkling Girl, then later Funz Centre had the Inkling Boy and Squid in stock at lower prices so I snapped them up fast.

Also I got the Splatoon gamedisc before I got me my Wii U [lol]

Also I want Nintendo to pay mad respect to Kojima by putting in a FOX brand set of Metal Gear costume parts into the game, like the Infinity Bandana (with Ink Saver Main), Ocelet Coat, and the Sneaking Suit/Boots (Suit has Cold-blooded, Boots have Bomb Sniffer).

... Do either of 'em speak in the Kansai Regional Accent? Or would that be too appropriate?

How would an Inkling sound like if they did try to affect Kansai-ben anyway?

Well, based entirely on second-hand references, it sounds a bit like someone with a very strong Boston or New Jersey accent speaking Japanese and using some alternate lingo.

Finished all the Inkling Girl Amiibo challenges, and got my school-girl outfit!(So happy I managed to find a 3-pack).

And by god the final boss with the charger was difficult, but I managed to do it on my first try anyway. Can't wait to do it with the roller.

Hero Charger vs the final boss was tricky, but it was more because it takes more work to cover the ground in my ink than with other weapons.

Hero Roller vs the final boss is fun. Hard, but fun.

The Kraken vs the final boss should be pretty cakewalk.

Apparently the Squid Sisters are named Ayo and Oly in the French translation. Aioli is a sauce that is typically served with seafood(Squid).

That's pretty smart.

The Squid Sisters are appropriately horrified by the existence of squid sashimi

/v/ has gotten some details on the Japan Splatfest:

relevant video link

Just rewatched the conversation between Callie and Marie regarding the 5th Splatfest and it's so cute.

Rough translation, moon experts, please correct if wrong.

Callie: Hey, hey I have been thinking…

Marie: What?

Callie: Which of us is the "Boke" in Squid Sisters?

Marie: Isn't it obvious that I am the "Tsukkomi"!

Callie: Eh! But I am not a "Boke"!

Marie: Then, Callie, which one are you?

Callie: I am a girl! (Sorry this part I am not sure what she is referring to)

Marie: Now then, who is the "Tsukkomi"?

I think Callie is mistaking "Boke" for "Boku". But yeah that makes Callie still the Boke in that coversation. wink

It's scary how good a Japanese player can be when even just test-driving a new weapon like that.

Just trying out the mini splatling and...

Oh. OH. Oh yes. Oh, I think I could get used to this.

It's got less range than the Heavy Splatling though, so you can't do suppression control in Splat Zones. Still, all that mobility and Squiffer/Bamboozler-tier charging is great.

The question isn't "which do you like more", but more "which would you be if you're doing Manzai comedy".

[up][up][up]I like it because it's got a lot less downtime between bursts. So it's more of a brawler to the heavy's pseudo sniper.

It's a pity this one won't be international- While the specifics of manzai are Japanese, the straightman-goofball dichotomy is one of the most universal aspects of comedy the world over.

I could easily see them tweaking it to be a "Straight Man vs. Goofball" type thing. Also, I still haven't tried the mini splatling. I need to get on that.

And I'd probably be the Tsukkomi. I do have my ridiculous moments, but on the whole I tend to more snark at other people. Heck, I remember in High School me and a friend made a video presentation for one of our classes that inadvertently followed the Boke and Tsukkomi Routine.

Well, that was easy. I am back at S rank again. So I guess the lesson here is; S fight sucks but A+ fights are fine? Alright, whatever.

The last fight was amusing. It's overtime and the enemy has the rainmaker. The rainmaker holder and a player with an unused kraken are approaching. I start to shoot at them and the kraken player transforms. I think that move screwed his team over. My guess is that kraken's hitbox is much short vertically which allowed me to fire at the rainmaker and win. Oops.tongue

So I'm an S- then?tongue

Now that I think about it, why isn't there an S- rank when the other letters have them?
