Have you ever had a game make you do a complete 180 on your opinion of a character from your initial perception of them?

No because the design is the most important thing about a character and that's not going to change no matter how much time you invest into the game.

I remember being in a Summer class right before it was about to start and getting hella excited over new Splatoon content. Feels like so long ago and yet it wasn't.
Ryan Turner
It's been almost two years. And will probably be another two years or longer until we get Splatoon 3
Jeremiah Jones
This fucking image is fucking PERFECT.
I dunno why I love gremlin Pearl so much.
Jason Mitchell
I'm a contrarian and decided Pearl would be my favorite idol right from the get go.
Glad to see people ended up warming up to her in the end.
Jayden Phillips
Octo Expansion did so much for both Marina and Pearl but especially Pearl. I'm dreading seeing them go for their inevitable replacements in the next game.
Christian Roberts
Honestly, this is the one. I thought you all were memeing, but it really happened.
Ian Williams
I really REALLY want to see what foul mouthed punk rock Pearl was like.
Dylan Lewis
How were they revealed? Did they have a Splatoon 1 event?
Brody Lopez
Gremlin Pearl is indeed an aesthetic alright.
Kevin Collins
We will experience something similar in the next game.
how would you react if one of them turn out to be male?
Isaiah Green
I always liked pearl but it was marina that I had to warm up to. I don't like the way her expressions make her look like she's constantly wincing. It was the closeup shots of her during the opening conversations that made it for me
Also as a kid I hated Zangief and now he's far and way my favorite world warrior
Christian Phillips
youtube.com
This was a segment in one of the Directs. If I recall correctly, the Testfire this time was a Splatfest they did pre-release. People were also freaking the fuck out because Marina was an Octopus living in Inkling society, which was previously unheard of.
Xavier Adams

Japan is bonkers for this shit
Sebastian Russell
Didn't quite like pearl at first but and fanart (not the gremlin kind) made me love her as much if not more than Marina
Asher Murphy
>like Callie
>Marie is the most popular, wins the splatfest
>this no doubt was the catalyst to making Callie the antagonist of Spla2
>like Pearl
>Marina is the most popular, no contest
please bintendo, I can't do this again for spla3. I'm not strong enough
Thomas Brown
Nah there’s no way they’re gonna repeat the same shit for Splatoon 3.
Marina and Pearl are definitely gonna be recruited as Agent 5 and 6. While the new idols take over.
Ryan Walker
Nah, what they'll actually end up doing is Off the Hook vs the Squid Sisters with the losers getting pushed into obscurity for Splat3
Jackson Bailey
Cecille in Arc Rise Fantasia
I thought she was gonna be some annoying ass token loli. Ended up being one of the best characters in the game. One of the most grounded ones too and had some awesome character progression. Plus she fought with gauntlets. Fists of Justice, bitch.
Yeah Pearl definitely one of everyone's hearts.
Benjamin Howard
thanks i hate it
Grayson Scott
Remember when Marina was a bitch and they had to change her dialogue?
Grayson Morgan
AAAAAAAAA STOP

Ayden Ortiz

Levi Reyes

Dominic Johnson
Post cute Veemos, I want to start a folder
Dominic Green
Treehouse translation fucked her personality up.
In the Japanese version she’s timid and shy most of the time. Also another detail I like is that Marina (and the octoling girl, boy and octopus) all speak in a very formal way that denotes someone being new to the language. Some of her dialogue is also written in katakana.
Treehouse gave the amiibo octos broken English instead.
James Richardson
ANOTHER WIN FOR THE MIGHTY HERO
god I like how the side characters all showed that they were at least a little different than the standard jrpg cast of stereotypes
Elijah Turner
The whole cast in general were great. Everyone had their strong and weak points and lil quirks that made them different. And lots of characters had great progression like Niko.
Except Ryfia. She is the perfect waif.
Jose King
Sorry but I liked Pearl the most before it was cool.
Daniel Williams
RIP 10ever OTH, if the SS Legion gets called into action, an undead army of loyal waifufags will commit a new Nagasaki.

Are the Japs still as autistic over the SS as they used to be?
Jonathan Morris
yes
Mason Rodriguez
that statement makes sense. what's the confusion? If a character looks cool, I like them. I could give a shit about their personality
Henry White
That's completely fucking retarded, though. What sort of shallow moron do you have to be to completely discard a character because you don't like their design?
Lucas Sanders
the japs will definitely push out off the hook for the squids if it came to that. Think about it you got japanese waifus vs western influenced rap and dj duo and one of them is a black, it's surprising they lasted this long.
Nathan Allen

Pearl's design is fucking weird. Is doesn't look terrible in artwork, actually looks good in fanart that doesn't even change anything about her, but it looks like absolute trash in-game.
Benjamin Bailey
It's always just been the forehead when on a 3D model. Saw a ton of edits that lengthened her bangs a bit and she instantly looks much better.
Josiah Scott
Pearl was always based, OE just made it clearer.

Cooper Edwards
Nicholas Torres
The worst level in the entire fucking expansion. Girl Power wasn't shit compared to this.
Adrian Gomez
Almost all of the official art depicts Woomy as the canon Agent 3, plus the vast majority of players have it that way as well. Not that it's technically "canon" one way or the other but I imgaine the vast majority of players went with it as well. Not to mention that Woomy and Veemo are vastly superiror to their male counterparts.
Isaac Bailey
Vintage octo
Jason Peterson
Jacob Davis
vroom vroom.
Brandon Brown
Is there even that much art to begin with? 3 was female on the initial trailer and I don't have much else to go on. I think all the male 3 art comes from this right here, which personally I really like. I'm not sure if there are statistics for how people like to portray them.
Jonathan Rodriguez
I do like Agent 4 being a canon bob-cut dork woomy, though. It's endearing.
Charles Hall
Daniel Cruz
My bad. It was actually a Splatoon thread.
Colton Long
It is now, unless someone cares to take this in a different direction.
Isaac Mitchell
This image makes me want the shops in Splatoon 3 be actual places you can go into a browse in instead of just entrances to menu screens.
Nathaniel Howard
Splatoon needs more world-building in general. They've had 2 games to get the basics down, I want more shit involving the settings, other species, and possibly a base game single player that isn't a glorified tutorial.
John Turner
The creators seem super invested in the world, so I remain optimistic.
Adrian Morris
Angel Parker
Austin Perez
Pearl swearing like a sailor being canon is one of the best parts of Octo Expansion, and one big reason why I slightly regret the E rating.
Hunter Price
It's probably shit they would explore in a spin-off. These are the guys who make the Animal Crossing games so something similar to that should up their alley once AC Switch releases. If it all.
Hudson White
Jason Davis
I want a cute squid daughter!
Nathan Ortiz
I have little faith Splat3 will be on the Switch, but I hope so
Isaac Smith
>have always felt weirld paternal towards my woomy
Maybe it's just me getting older. Turning 31 this year.
Jonathan Cook
You can have her. I got everything I need right here.
I wouldn't say Splatoon 3 being on Switch is too unlikely, but it's going to have to be a very long time until we see it. It depends on how long the Switch lasts.
Logan Morales
Nathan Wood
Maybe Switch will last longer than we expect with the supposed Pro model coming. I just want AC to hurry up and come out, both because I love AC and also so they can get back to work on Splatoon stuff.
Gavin Kelly
Justin Peterson
I expect Switch to last for a long time. They've got a shitload of essential franchises that still need Switch installments, it keeps selling like hotcakes, and as far as anyone knows there isn't a 3DS successor planned since Switch is technically a handheld.
Anthony Green
Hunter Moore
Anthony Ross
Wyatt Martin
Earliest I'd predict is 2021 for Splat3m but probably 2022.
Grayson Jenkins
A 4-5 year gap sounds ideal to me. It would have a lot to live up to, though. Between how much people love the game and how well received Octo Expansion was, the bar's pretty high.
Colton Lewis
Wish there could've been at least another piece of single player DLC.
Tyler Price
I swear they better not just do "HURR OCTAVIO ATTACKED AGAIN DURR" for the next game
Ryder Taylor
harechads where you at
Asher Cox
Here. I loved listening to Pearl wanting to option the movie rights for her fanfiction.
Jeremiah Williams
Trust me this time to the idols (woomy and weyo) will be the baddies
Lincoln Cooper
I know everyone hated it but I can get why it happened. They had to scramble to put their big hit new franchise on a system that people actually wanted to buy. Sure, there are a lot of reused assets but they still had their work cut out for them and the single player wasn't going to be a priority for a game made explicitly for online.
Lucas Lopez
I wanted to bring Iso Papa with me to the surface, damn it.
Matthew Parker
I mean yeah I get it, but like you said before they've set the bar way too high with OE to go back to the basic bitch regular campaigns. I personally like the theory that corporate facist Mr. Grizz might end up being the villain for the next game.
Colton Jones
Adrian Fisher
I'm still wondering if he'll end up being an actual bear that survived the mammalian extinction or if it's an unseen sea creature playing up the bear image to hide his true nature.
Carson Hughes
Robert White
Jacob Peterson
Cooper Diaz
Xavier Moore
It makes me wonder how much land there actually is left on the planet. Surely Inkopolis isn't literally the only city in the world.
Easton Ramirez
There's still just so much lore and world we need to see of Splatoon's world. I'm kind of frustrated we only know of one species' past time for children.
Ethan Jones
Alexander Ross
I'm new to splatoon so sorry if I get things wrong but there are probably other cities but I think they're very isolationistic. There's probably a salmonid City and Grizz and his crew are basically boogeymen or something there
Adrian Adams
Logan Rivera
I know the reality will probably pale in comparison to the way I imagine it, but it usually does.
Oliver Jackson
I don't know about salmonid cities but from the Grizzco manuals it's been inferred that they definitely have some sort of culture among themselves. They've even been known to trade weaponry between the octarian armies.
It happens all the time in franchises with endless lore potential. I'll just be happy to get anything new.

I wish splatoon had more social features. Like chat rooms and shit and basically emulate what squid internet would be like, i imagine it to be a lot like late 90s early 2000s internet. Also having a little squid apartment to design amd bring friends over too would be fun. The inkopolis square or whatever i wish was real time interaction with squidkids running around into shops or lobbies instead of npc's milling about. Tbh if they made the while out of game experience a little more mmolite it would be rad.

I guess it's just hard for me to stick with a multiplayer focused game unless it has a progression system that really makes me feel like I'm defining my style.
Splatoon progression has too much randomness and the stats I like don't always match the looks I like so it's not very addictive to me.
Aiden Ramirez
Grayson Russell
Yeah, there really isn't too much to individualize yourself but personally I find that to be a plus. So many games have these million little factors to customize about yourself, I find it refreshing to just have a stats to worry about and your weapon. If your favorite clothes having shit bonuses bothers you, you could try the Splatnet app. There's always gear with different abilities there.

Fuck it guys, at first I wanted Octolings as echo fighters, but if fucking Isabelle manages to be a unique character despite having very nuanced variations outside of her specials, then Octolings have waay enough potential to be their own DLC fighter
Owen Reyes
The potential is definitely there but who knows if Nintendo deems them worthy enough to have that much effort put into them. There's dozens of actual Splatoon weapons to work into a moveset but I don't think they've quite hit Isabelle levels of popularity to justify it.

Would agent 8 be the default rather than the causal octos people post? I mean, the amiibos are based on agent 8 clothes after all. I’m still sad we haven’t got the outfit as gear option.
Zachary King
Hunter Young
I imagine the stage would be the final battle on top of the giant statue. Agent 8 seems like the obvious pick but I think they might go with the casual clothes that appeared in the first trailer. It's probably a bit more family friendly, even if they give no fucks about sexual content in general. I think someone said it was jap exclusive but they might've been fucking with me
