#TeamMarina wooooo boy can't wait!

that cute smile

 

[Rmagnus]

Guess I'm the only #TeamPearl...

Edit: Japanese Splatfest theme is Rock vs Pop.

You have my ink!


That don't sound right

 

[HawthorneKitty]

This is going to be so one sided.

Well, maybe Japan will like Pearl?

What are their Japanese names?

 

[phanphare]

Marina new best Squidgirl since Callie seems to have been murdered/stolen/killed by the ungrateful Splatoon 1 playerbase.

she's an octo

 

[Yoshi88]

Love the german translation this time: Duo is called Tentacool and their slogan roughly translates to: "You are cool...we are tentacool!"

 

[Reki]

Pearl is even more garbage than Marie.

You take that back, Marie is amazing!

 

[GDGF]

That concert was dope.

 

[zeromcd73]

Perfect.

 

[Zalman]

Where's my Marina amiibo

 

[Quonny]

Nintendo fucked up hard. I mean, this isn't even a competition. The weird eyebrows, the connected eyes, the lame hair, the plain dress, the weird snaggle tooth.

Like, what the hell. This isn't even fun.

 

[Kusagari]

Japan is totally going to love Pearl.

 

[Gleethor]

Is marina an octoling?

 

[Byronic Hero]

Hard to have a war when one side can't compete.

Seriously. It's not even a contest. Poor Pearl.

[RecRoulette]

Never count out Callie West. #TeamCallie doesn't budge.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

The fuckers couldn't have the splatfests last an entire day? Bullshit at it being 11pm-3am for the UK (unless I can't timezone, of course)

 

[Opa-Pa]

I like them better than the squid sisters, I think. And man, a black central character in Splatoon 2, so good!... Too bad I get the feeling she's gonna be a bit "too popular".

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

I never joined in with people who argued over whether Callie or Marie was better, as they were both designed equally well. But there's an embarrassingly huge gap between the quality of these two's designs. Marina is great, whereas Pearl is straight up awful character design. Her face looks more like a male.

I hope Marina wins every single time there's a vote.

 

[pretty done]

Pearls design is awful. Who would pick that.

 

[WonderzL]

I think they can use this as lore. Make Pearl the underdog, etc.

 

[Berordn]

It's actually embarrassing how vastly superior Marina is to Pearl.

At least Callie and Marie were on the same playing field.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Are we really picking sides on Splatfest because of the idols who back them up?

Marina looks great though.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Tanned amirite

 

[D.Lo]

Begun the Waifu War has...

[zeromcd73]

What are their Japanese names?

Pearl is Hime (Princess), and Marina is Iida (not sure).

 

[SuperSah]

Marina gets my money

 

[Kouriozan]

Judging by Splatoon 1's final splatfest, Pearl is going to be the vilain of Splatoon 3, pretty fitting with her look

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

that cute smile

Is it possible for someone to make Marina in this an avatar for me?

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

They're server stress tests, just like last time.

Blame NoE's bargaining position

 

[UltimaWeapon]

Perfect.

 

[Phamit]

I wonder if Yolandi from Die Antwoord was a inspiration for Pearls design

 

[Mediking]

Wrap it up. We're done.

 

[WonderzL]

Tanned amirite

Basibaisbaisvaibs RIGHT.

Let's put that to rest hopefully

 

[13ruce]

Squid Sisters still the best imo.
The new ones don't even wear food on their head.

Marina is quite cool especially being a octoling but pearl looks ugly and annoying.

Wonder what happens if you beat Singleplayer i think they might do the news cast together or the sisters will roam inside the city and make music again.

 

[ryushe]

Uggggggghhhhhh I NEED a Marina amiibo.

Now!

 

[random25]

Marina probably is the one why Callie is missing. She's an octarian after all lol.

 

[Neoxon]

Wait a minute, what if Nintendo did this early Splatfest to low-key sabotage Melee Top 8 at EVO?

 

[tonyh24613]

There's now solo mode and squad mode during splatfest, the winning will be calculated by population/solo/squad in Splatoon 2.

 

[javac]

Pearl looks weird in game but looks better in her artwork, she comes across as the child that's too big for her boots and acts all tough and shit, Team Marina tho goes without saying.

 

[Synth]

They both look shite. Massive downgrade across the board.

 

[nephilimdj]

They are going to push the absolutely fabulous thing on younger squids? kinda creepy

 

[RecRoulette]

Judging by Splatoon 1's final splatfest, Pearl is going to be the vilain of Splatoon 3, pretty fitting with her look

Might be both of them, my guess

End of Year 1 Splatfest: Pearl vs Marina (Don't count out Splatoon Eminem!)
End of Year 2 Splatfest: Squid Sisters vs Off the Hook.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Pearl has an awful design that not even a hipster trying to be unique could get behind.

 

[Mattakuevan]

Marina looks great, pearl is hideous though, ugh...

Hopefully they're both fun characters.

 

[Tempy]

I'm expecting new content for this thread soon - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=837761

 

[Anteo]

Those two are octarian agents just like the squid sisters are inkings agents, calling it now.

This is tin foil hat territory

Must be two Pearls on your screen

 

[WonderzL]

JAPAN'S THEME IS SO MUCH BETTER.

MARINA'S POP WOULD SLAY 😥😥😥
