That's almost certainly a licensing thing.

Licencing issues (Nintendo would have to get the approval of 3 different companies) and both the show and the manga ended a long time ago. So I doubt it'll make it back into Splatoon 2.

Managed to roll up some good abilities on my little engineer/PPE outfit, though I'd like to get full bomb defence on the helmet eventually. I've been having a pretty good run on splatzones just using the Jr. since inkstorms seem to help out a lot with taking back the zone.

I have the mining helmet with pure bomb defense if you want to try and get it from Murch, though I won't be on until later this evening.

GrizzCo gear is considered to be special gear, so it can't be ordered through Murch.

The target practice dummy is great, it's like the Splatoon equivalent of a hotdog suit. I just hope the head and body segments are combined when you wear both at the same time, otherwise it's going to look awkward when the head and body rotate independently from each other. Cowboy/girl outfit is a million times better than the camo sniper outfit, I don't know what the judges were thinking other than "what is the quickest/cheapest/easiest outfit that we can model and texture for the next update".

I have a new pet peeve in Salmon Run. People who do nothing but stay in the cannons in the Cohock Charge waves all day. Yes, please leave only 2 people fetching eggs, that's really gonna help us clear the wave. That poo poo might fly when the quota is like 12 or so, but when we need to collect 29 eggs to not fail the wave, you can't just sit on your rear end all day being useless. There's no need to be in the cannons all the time. There's gonna be lulls in the wave, and there's at least 1 other person who can help keep the Salmonids at bay if necessary. Help collect the eggs whenever possible, you lazy butts!

When the hell is the quota ever anywhere near 29 eggs??

Also, the inverse is actually true because there's always some dumb rear end in a top hat who can't hop into the top cannon fast enough at the beginning of the round, only to inexplicably leave it 30 seconds later and come down to the field while you're loving overrun with thousands of Cohocks.

If you can't make you quota on a cohocks 'n' cannons round with two cannoneers and two runners (or at least, one guy who alternates between running and cannoning), then either your runners are loving up or the guys on the cannons are, because if they're any good you should be constantly running eggs and have little to no resistance from the mobs.

I once turned the center of lowtide Lost Outpost into a goddamn hatchery with my CANNON SKILLS and we still lost because the runners wanted to fight bosses instead of run.

Can't figure out if the .52 Gal is any good or not compared to just the regular Splattershot- range is the same and the time it takes to splat someone kinda... seems the same?

The appeal of it is that it's a 2-shot weapon. Though it got massively nerfed from Splatoon 1 to 2, since the RNG spread makes it a lot more unreliable unless you're a lot closer.

Yeah I was sorta surprised by the .96 gal the same way. Then I noticed every once in a while I'd be lighting someone up, waiting for them to die and I start looking at my watch wondering what's going on. The RNG doesn't bite you that often but when it does it's frustrating.

All Splatfests last for 24 hours.

Nintendo accidentally leaked their Splatfest announcement prematurely, so no Japanese Splatfest this weekend. There will be an announcement though.

The Pacific league might also get their Halloween Splatfest announcement this weekend. Or maybe not.

So this is just EU splatfest? Meaning NA still has a chance at a theme that's not dumb as all hell?
