Honestly they're both really good choices. I guess it just comes down to preferences.

oh maybe just because spying on women without their permission is impossibly creepy and predatory my guy

thanks for helping me choose though i don't want to be lumped in with invisible creeps

Don't lump us all together because of one guy and his desire to see the female body.

 

[Hexagon!]

I hate this theme.

Spoiler

There's no obvious unpopular pick I can join to win.

...I crave those Super Sea Snails...

Flight's gonna be wayyy more popular. (Because it's the correct choice.)

 

[AlexFlame116]

Flight's gonna be wayyy more popular. (Because it's the correct choice.)

As long as a reverse happens and invisibility wins despite flight being more popular then I'm good!

Marina's gotta win this one.

This the only use people think Invisibility is good for? What about impossible takedowns? Instant defusal of hostage situations? Free drink refills?

Yeh, or just fly around them and watch their minds melt trying to comprehend what they're seeing.

If you chose the right parts of the world you could literally be revered as a deity. Free refills of whatever you want.

Personally, I would use the power to watch wildlife without startling them.

Being invisible doesn't magically make you weightless.

Let's be honest. This'll get you shot.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Flying would be amazing, especially where I live I wouldn't have to sit in a car all day

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Let's be honest. This'll get you shot.

Depends how fast you can fly.

Good luck hiding your body heat when invisible. Unless it also just stops all of your bodily functions. In which case you'd get to be an invisible corpse. Which would be confusing for various people over time I guess.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Being invisible doesn't magically make you weightless.

But it makes you sightless.

You'll most likely get kidnapped by some government trying to figure out how you do it in hopes of creating super soldiers

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

Being blind doesn't sound like a benefit, to be honest.

Same could be said for either power when used in positions of significance to be fair.

 

[rulerk1]

I still can't believe this happened.

in Splatoon 1 it was usually the most popular team that ended up losing. the same continues for 2 it seems

the pervert situation can easily be addressed if it's revealed that your clothes become invisible too. because if there are just a bunch of naked invisible dudes out there? sex crimes

Yeah definitely. Flying is cool, invisibility is kind of weird and creepy. You can be the world's best super spy. Other than that, you can do shady things with it

 

[Tabasco]

Wouldn't it also be weird to be spotted while in flight by so many people?

 

[hwy_61]

If society would be cool with the idea of someone flying everywhere, then I'd pick flight 100%. No traffic, no TSA, no stupid ass pre flight speech. That would be amazing.

People would not be cool with that though. They'd shoot my dumbass out of the sky real quick. Invisibility seems like the real world choice tbh.

Far as splatfest goes, I'm Team Flight.

But this would get the hostage shot. :/

You could get some nonplussed criminal and he'd be like "wow, that's neat." BLAM BLAM "where'd you learn that kid?" Versus getting close and use cqc skills to disarm him. Now that I think about it you could basically be ultimate spy/sleeper agent with invisibility.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

It was a joke but sure if you want to be serious then being invisible doesn't cause you to be weightless, meaning in any environment with wild animals you'll still be making sounds, which will mean you have to be almost as careful as you would otherwise.

Yeh, nah. If you saw someone just straight up just start flying around you it would affect you more than that. Especially if religious or supersticious.

Well yeah duh. But it does make you harder to be seen! So if they do hear you, then where is the source? Of course you can fly but then they'll still spot you if you get close enough and they'll run away. They won't start worshipping you as a god.

Basically you need both flight and invisibility to actually have a tremendous advantage.

Yeh, an animal that senses a sound without a body to accompany it is going to get the fuck out of there. They're not the guards from MGS.

Also I wasn't referring to the animals worshipping me, you don't need that when you can punch a golden eagle out of the sky.

 

[Omega Kirby]

This. The fuck are you going to do with flying? Invisibility on the other hand, I'd be rich by the end of the day.

Don't need a car, that saves you money

No traffic, that saves you time

Dont need a plane ticket, that saves you money

No traffic, can get to your girls house asap when she says her parents arent at home, that saves you time




Flight just saves you more.

 

[UncleSporky]

I mean, i was going from the things posted here, nobody except for the ones suggesting journalism and stage hand has said something that is not straight up evil.

Edit: i mean, isn't it a red flag that people have to be told to specifically think non evil uses for invisibility?

I picked flying mostly cause the immediate QoL improvement it would provide for mundane tasks.

Flying is wrong too. You're putting yourself and others in danger. Airspace is divvied up among various crafts, and without some serious regulation and personal buy-in to all that protocol you could cause all sorts of air traffic issues.

You're bowing to government regulations or you're staying grounded.

Not saying they won't run away. Just saying that at least they won't see you coming. Besides, if you know your skills and training you can get close enough.

Then you'll get arrested for harming an eagle. What purpose would that be besides upsetting people?

 

[watershed]

Flight. I won this argument at a party recently and I'll win again during the Splatfest!

 

[hwy_61]

Youd make mad tips being a delivery boy for dominos or something too.

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

I doubt anyone will see you do it considering you'll be flying next to them in the sky. What purpose? Superiority. Animals have to understand that a new apex has arrived.

 

[AlexFlame116]

Again though, the animal will still see you. And they'll respond like any other animal would do, by running the freak away.

I'm sure punching an eagle will help you in your quest for superiority haha.

 

[D.Lo]

Flight is cool, but I worry I would need invulnerability along with it...

 

[The ๖ۜBronx]

You seem to imply they can run faster than I could fly. This is a super power man. I'm not one for animal abuse, and perhaps not a golden eagle, but if a bird ever shat on me, I could shit on it. If a bird shits on you, it blows your cover.

 

[UncleSporky]

Flight is cool, but I worry I would need invulnerability along with it...

Let's say everyone in this splatfest who picked flight actually gained flight, and everyone who picked invisibility actually got invisibility.

One group would be in way more public trouble and be getting killed a lot more often than the other.

 

[Estoc]

With flight, depends on how high you fly, you may be subject to cold burn or other condition related to the drop of temperature. Also plane. Also too noticeable. Also useless in a fight against another person with superpower.

With invisibility, you run the risk of the world bumping into you, you're going to need to be more alert in order to avoid being walked/ran/drove into, and let's hope you never fall, people could trample over you as they won't be able to see you on the ground. However, if you end up in a fight with another superpower person, you have the ability to backstab or run away(depending on how this invisibility power works). As well, if you managed your use of your power well, it will be much harder for people to learn that you possess superpower, compared with flight.

Therefore, I'm voting invisibility.

 

[AlexFlame116]

You might need a visor to protect you from the bugs too if you get too low.

With invisibility you're either giving off body heat, which makes it useless in the face of technology, or your body stops working to stop that and you become an invisible corpse. Which, while cool, isn't going to be getting a Marvel deal any time soon.

 

[AlexFlame116]

This is gonna be such a fun Splatfest!

You're so right on that!

If we count the beta it's my third one but they're just so much fun to participate in! We get the best conversations too! I mean when are we ever going to have a conversation about invisibility versus flight? That's why I love Splatfests!

Exactly this. It gives you a fun chance to 'get serious' about the most trivial of things. The whole idea just fits the original yet weird (and all wonderfully cohesive) style of the game.

 

[Maengun1]

team flight

 

[Dipper145]

I imagine flight would be a lot of work and effort to do, and invisibility would be easier. Plus I'd imagine I'd be pretty slow at flying so it still wouldn't be as quick as just taking a car anywhere.

I'd have to go for invisibility by default I guess? Unless it's a thing where you're always invisible, then I guess I'd have to pick flying and just use it at parties to impress people.

 

[UncleSporky]

With invisibility you're either giving off body heat, which makes it useless in the face of technology, or your body stops working to stop that and you become an invisible corpse. Which, while cool, isn't going to be getting a Marvel deal any time soon.

Modern security is not equipped to deal with invisible people. It is not built around the assumption that this sort of thing is possible. You still don't show up on ordinary security cameras, you still don't trip lasers or motion sensors. If something senses a body's heat signature they still have no way of identifying who you are unless they are actively tracking you.

Invisibility doesn't mean you have to contend with the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM ADVANCED tech. You don't have to do Mission Impossible bank heists. If you want to be deceitful and profit from it, just quietly stand behind some guy and learn his passwords. Or rob your local drug dealers who aren't likely to have IR goggles.

 

[massoluk]

Invisibility is a shitty power,

1. I'm already invisible to the society.
2. Does include turning clothes invisible? I'd rather not walk around naked
3. Invisibility came with caveat, like a car is totally going to run over you if they can't see you

Flight: save transportation cost, freedom of movement.

1. I can already take a plane.

2. Does flight include not getting wind/freeze burns or passing out from thin air? Is it even fast?

3. What are you doing standing around in the street invisible? Might as well say the caveat with flying is you're going to get hit by planes.

With flight you are getting shot at constantly from the ground, if not taken into custody for violating various flight code/airspace laws and studied by scientists.

The option that improves my daily commute and helps me save on airline tickets is obviously the right one.

I agree that invisibility is the better choice.
