Splatoon 2: Your new octopus wife is here
Bio:
Best change is separate ranks for each mode.

So the first Splatfest was yesterday. It was a pretty smooth experience all things considered. Even matchmaking and only half or less were Marina vs. Marina. I saw next to no disconnects anywhere for the entire event. Wait times between rounds felt a bit longer, but not unreasonably so. A price I'll gladly pay for this level of matchmaking and connection quality.
The bad guys won thanks to the Splatfest's fucked up scoring system, but this doesn't make Pearl any less of a garbage. We all let down our octopus wife, but she's still number one.
Edit: The lobby is full of electoral college Miiverse posts. Ouch. :D

So bits and pieces of upcoming content have been datamined including Spoiler: revamped Kelp Dome and Black Belly Skate Park, two unfinished new maps, two more Salmon Run maps, some sort of new semi-automatic weapon called "The Squeezer" that kind of looks like a wine bottle with a handle, and, most important, playable Octoling values including male Octolings.

Next Splatfest is announced as flight vs invisibility. They clearly gave the superior option (flight) to Pearl to try to balance out the scales, but I like that the options fit the characters. Pearl's Napoleon complex means she would probably love to fly over people, and Marina's shyness means she would probably like to be able to disappear.
Needless to say, I will be backing Marina.
Third Eye Lem:
Honestly, of the two, I'd take flight. Invisibility is nice, but it doesn't stop people from running into you. :P
