Even the Research Lab needs a break now and then! We're listening to this fresh new track from Off the Hook, entitled "Ebb & Flow"!

Good news Inklings, we've confirmed that Splatfests will be returning to Splatoon 2!
While the upcoming battle is between eternal rivals Cake and Ice Cream, let's #TBT to a Splatoon classic, Cats vs. Dogs! It was a close contest, with both teams fighting tooth & nail, but Team Dogs won by a hair!
What Splatfest was your favorite?

Did you know you can create drawings and share them via social media? It's true! Just visit the mailbox in Inkopolis Square. Your drawings may be viewable by other players, so don't go posting personal info or inappropriate content, knuckleheads! These drawings may be displayed as signs or graffiti in Inkopolis Square.

At the end of each Splatfest, participants will earn Super Sea Snails based on their individual and team contribution. If you give snails to Murch in Inkopolis Square, he can add additional slots to your gear, or scrub your gear to remove its secondary abilities.
Please note that Super Sea Snails will not be distributed for the Splatfest World Premiere event taking place this weekend. Save data from the demo will not carry over into the full game.

We all know Inklings love to grab a bite at Crusty Sean's new food-truck venture, the aptly named Crust Bucket. Chow down on these deep-fried snacks and you'll get more cash and experience from battles. However, it seems the only currency that Sean accepts is "tickets" which can be earned in Octo Canyon or Salmon Run.

Ink Armor grants each member of your team armor that nullifies damage from a single attack. It works on all team members regardless of proximity. The effect lasts for a limited time, but we imagine this special will be useful for laying pressure on opponents.

The Bomb Launcher special allows you to launch bombs without consuming any ink. The longer a player holds the R button, the farther the bomb will travel. They also come in different varieties: Splat-Bomb Launcher, Curling-Bomb Launcher, Autobomb Launcher, etc. We also discovered that this special doesn't necessarily tie to your kit's sub weapon, meaning you might discover a kit with Suction Bomb sub and Curling-Bomb Launcher special, for example.

It appears that there are now two ways to enter Splatfest Battles: Solo & Team. Solo mode works like Splatfest in the original Splatoon game; you'll automatically match with three other players and battle against groups of four random players from the opposing team.
Team mode requires four players (must be friends with someone from the same team who is in the Lobby) to join a private lobby before being matched up against another team of four.
The final result will be determined by popularity, Solo Win percentage, and Team Win percentage.

Is that...Annie? It seems like she's taken up a new digital storefront. You can order gear here, and then visit Murch to pick it up. He accepts cash on delivery! It looks like the gear available in the SplatNet Gear Shop can have a different main ability attached than those purchased at the Galleria in Inkopolis.

Splatfest history continues for #TBT! In the Splatoon Splatfest grand finale it all came down to the Squid Sisters, Callie vs. Marie! Team Marie may have won, but plenty of Inklings still feel like it was just yesterday!

The Dapple Dualies are dualie-type weapons that have been engineered for optimum mobility. They're lighter than standard Splat Dualies, allowing for faster movement, but they have less range. It's a trade-off. Utilize the increased mobility to set Squid Beakons around the map, and call your teammates to the front lines! And use the Suction-Bomb Launcher to further expand your team's territory. Sheldon recommends this set for players who want to swiftly splat their opponents and support their team.

You know how blasters tend to have a low rate of fire? Not the Clash Blaster! Its speedy shots are great for keeping foes at bay! Damage output has been decreased to allow improved rapid fire, but Splat Bombs can help you take it to your foes in a major way. Opponents keeping their distance? Reach out and boop 'em with the Sting Ray! This set is for players that like causing chaos on the front lines.

Baller! Yes, this is a new special weapon called the Baller! Roll around the stage in an oversized hamster ball that protects you from a certain amount of damage. If you hold down ZR, the ball will fill with ink, eventually causing an explosion on the spot.

Now this right here is Flow. You'll find her working at Headspace, Inkopolis's spot for hats and helmets. From the way she talks, she might seem a bit loopy, but that's just part of her mysterious vibe. Word has it she's a bit older than most of her Inkling customers, and teasing them is one of her favorite pastimes. The little guy who lives among her tendrils is her erstwhile companion, Craymond, an unhinged emperor shrimp who's always got her back.

These lovely ladies are the rising stars who've been burning up the Inkling music charts, Off the Hook! First you've got Pearl, the cute and sassy MC with a talent for spitting fire lyrics.Then you've got Marina, the dazzling DJ genius rocking beats on the wheels of steel. Fans love them for their unique, futuristic sound, but they're also making quite the name for themselves as the new broadcasters of Inkopolis News!

We're proud to reveal our findings on the Goo Tuber, a charger with the upgraded ability to store your charge even longer. Intel from Sheldon is that it offers high-pressure ink storage for extended periods, allowing you to stay submerged while you wait for the perfect shot! In exchange, it takes a bit longer to charge, but you can push your foes back with the Suction Bombs sub. You can stay on the move with one in the chamber, and when the enemy decides to close in, make 'em pay with a Splashdown surprise!

Hey, it's Bisk the spider crab! He's also the proud proprietor of Inkopolis Square's premier shoe shop, Shella Fresh. His many long limbs welcome customers one and all, and he exudes the type of laid-back cool you just can't teach.

This Jellyfish gentleman goes by the name Jelfonzo, and he runs Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe. And check out his origin story: one day he just split off of Jelonzo in Inkopolis Plaza, and there he was! I think that makes him Jelonzo's son? He apparently learned to speak Inkling from an ancient text of some sort, so his speech sounds a bit outdated (to say the least). But don't let that fool you. When it comes to fashion, this dapper dude is always up on the hottest trends.

New weapons are in development. Say hello to the Brella! Much like an Umbrella, it offers both beauty and functionality. Press and hold the ZR button to open it up and block enemy attacks. If you continue to hold down the button...you can even launch it forward! Of course, once launched, you won't be able to open it for a while, so use it wisely.
It appears this weapon type will be ready for Turf War battles in an update after the game launches.

It looks like the cods-on favorite Team Ice Cream has taken the gold in the Splatfest World Premiere! A valiant showing from Team Cake though! Thanks to all you Inklings for splatting along, the Squid Research Lab will be taking a close look at these results!

Salmon Run is a mysterious part-time job that Grizzco Industries offers when hordes of Salmonids approach Inkling waters. We've received word that for the first three days after the launch of Splatoon 2 on Friday, July 21st, a MASSIVE number of Salmonids will be migrating toward Inkopolis. This means that the frequency of Grizzco's part-time job offers will be increased. But keep in mind that you need to be at least at level 4 to take part in these part-time jobs. Don't miss this chance to try out Salmon Run!

This is the Splattershot Jr. It's the weapon that every Inkling will have in their hands when they first arrive in Inkopolis Square. This entry-level Turf War weapon boasts efficient ink use and a quick rate of fire. It comes with the Splat Bomb for its sub weapon, and its special weapon is Ink Armor.

The Sting Ray special weapon fires high-pressure ink that can penetrate walls to splat opponents on the other side.
In the Splatfest World Premiere demo, using the Sting Ray severely limited your mobility, but its mobility is being improved through an update to the game. With the new-and-improved Sting Ray, players will be able to suspend their attack by entering squid form, allowing them to reposition themselves before resuming their assault. This enables players to retreat at a moment's notice, or find a better vantage point.

[Public Squid Notice] We received a technical update about the SplatNet 2 Gear Shop in the Nintendo Switch Online app. During a short amount of time after the servers went live, a few gear items paired up with incorrect gear abilities. For example, Ninja Squid, which is meant to only attach to clothing, was attached to shoes. The gear in question are the four in the above image. As of now, this issue has been fixed, and such gear items will no longer appear in the Gear Shop.
An update will be made in the near future to replace the Gear Ability of these items with the same main Gear Ability that will be available in the stores in the game. We appreciate your understanding.

Tonight at 7pm PT, the Inkbrush will be in stock at Ammo Knights. Each swipe from this weapon isn't terribly powerful, but it allows you to move quickly while inking turf. Use this mobility to flank the enemy team and splat 'em before they're ready! The Inkbrush set comes with the Splat Bomb for its sub weapon and the Splashdown for its special.

The next Splatfest is coming soon, and the theme is a clash of condiments: Mayonnaise vs. Ketchup.
The Splatfest event times are:
8/4 (Fri) 9:00 p.m. PT – 8/5 (Sat) 9:00 p.m. PT
As a reminder, at the end of the event, the winning side will be determined by Popularity, Solo Win percentage, and Team Win percentage. And this Splatfest theme will be shared globally, though results will be tallied and shared region by region.
Don't forget you can team up with friends in Splatfest, though Team Mode is a little different from what you may be used to. This mode requires four players (must be friends with someone from the same team who is in the Lobby) to join a private lobby before being matched up against another team of four.
But will players choose mayo or ketchup? Only you can decide! And if you can't wait to show your support, you can go into the game later tonight to pick your team and/or submit some mayo or ketchup centric drawings. We do enjoy tuna fish sandwiches and potato salad here in the lab, but we'd also be lying if we said we didn't have a few bottles of spicy ketchup in the fridge. Decisions, decisions..

Say hello to the Dualie Squelchers! Tonight at 7 PM PT, these puppies will be in stock at Ammo Knights. This weapon appeared as the shooter-type Jet Squelcher in the original game, but it's been reborn as a Dualies-type weapon in Splatoon 2.
Its iconic longish-range and rapid fire return with the added dodge roll ability. It comes with a Point Sensor sub and Tenta Missiles special. We even noticed that while shooting from a crouch right after rolling, both Squelchers are temporarily merged - fascinating! Sheldon recommends this kit for nimble fighters that want to support their team and be a real nuisance to opponents.

Did you notice that SplatNet 2 displays which side your friends have voted for in the upcoming Splatfest? This is especially helpful if you want to try out Team Battle. As a reminder, Team Battle requires four players (must be friends with someone from the same team who is in the Lobby) to join a private lobby before being matched up against another team of four.
