Reminder: Don't Miss The Flight Vs Invisibility Splatfest In Splatoon 2

I picked Invisibility just because it's something I used to think about a lot as a kid. I won't say whether my intentions were bad or good if I was somehow able to make it happen.

Has there been any word on a theme for this Splatfest or are we back in the Twilight Zone again?

I have no interest in flight unless it comes with extra speed. It's just not that useful by itself so I picked invisibility. Try fighting the dude you can't see.

Hmm... I picked invisibility because I thought it would be less popular. We shall see.

@Fred13 Invisibility in a game where there's nothing but paint being sprayed around all the time? 😛 Plus, you have to go naked, and if you're trying to use invisibilty to steal stuff - well: "Hey, look! That insert item is just floating in the air all by itsel - wait a minute!" Just too many down sides. Now with flight there's no need for a vehicle of any type, you can fly to foreign countries (steer clear of restricted air space, lol), save kittens from trees, or that baby stuck in the top floor of the burning apartment complex. Did I mention "Superhero Landings?" Besides, look at how well being invisible worked out for Kevin Bacon; and everyone loves Kevin Bacon. Because, well, he's Kevin Frickin' Bacon. Suddenly I'm hungry 😁

Best of luck to both teams!! I'll see you all out on the Turf!!

Don't forget that the Forge Splattershot Pro weapon will be released tonight as well.

Eh....
Fly Me to the Moon !

Invisibility so I can peek at design documents for upcoming games.

Then I can be the leaker everyone hates.

As much as I love the idea of being unnoticeable, if I have to be naked and without objects like my phone to be completely invisible, flight becomes the best option.
Besides, with the splatfest tee, ninja squid isn't usable, making it hard to really represent team invisibility.

@Vegeta937 First of all, the Spatfest question are never about Splatoon preferences. It's not, would you like to be invisible in Splatoon it's would you like to be invisible in real life so the paint being thrown around is not relevant.
Second, who said I want to steal stuff. What kind of a super hero do you think I'm trying to become.
Third, if you had read my post I mentioned that flying is worthless without speed to go along with it. I'm assuming you are flying at about the same speed you can run (not very fast) Yes you could get a kitten out of a tree, but you'd still need a vehicle if you want to get anywhere quickly. Flying to another country at 5 mph would take wwwwwwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy ttttttttooooooooo lllllllloooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg.

@Vegeta937 You'd also have to stash a change of clothes ahead of time anywhere you might want to rematerialize. It just wouldn't be worth it.

@Vegeta937 Depends how you control your invisibility. If my skin makes me invisible(like the photo shows) then you clothes still shows and you couldn't take anything. If I refract light and control it to make things invisible then I can wear my clothes and steal things I want and you wouldn't be able to tell(yes, I would be a villian).

@Fred13 Wow dude, if you couldn't tell my entire reply was in jest, I don't know what else to say...and where do you get there's no speed boost while flying? There are clearly no set rules to either team you pick. It's all in good fun. Also, there's no disclaimer in the game saying the team you pick applies to real life OR in game. And the part about stealing was a general statement - I don't know you and I wouldn't assume you'd be a thief - everything I said is hypothetical, as is the team one chooses. Sorry you read so deeply into me just taking the mickey out of the situation (which is why I use emojis as much as possible: to convey what text can't). Best of luck this weekend!! 😁

@NapalmPsalm Lol, I like where your head is at. At least you understood my entire post was all in good fun. Best of luck this weekend!!

@PanurgeJr Right on, lol. I think something akin to Harry Potter's Invisibility cloak would be a little more feasible. Unless, of course, you can turn invisible at will. Seeing as there's no set rules to either team (plus, it's just a game), I feel like there's a lot of room for speculation and interpretation of the ground rules for both powers. Best of luck this weekend, my friend!! 😁

Flight! Plus I feel like Marina is totally fake and contrives her "oh I'm just shy" personality! Pearl is kind of a butt but I feel like she's not being fake. Marina is way too cool to be so shy. Maybe that's just me!

Fight or flight?
BOTH!!!
Fight and flight!
Flight for the win!

@Dev Very good point. I think this will be a story point someday too, maybe bridging Splatoon2 to 3. As long as Nintendo doesn't chicken out given HOW POPULAR Marina is.

I would've liked if they had given Team Invisibility a Ninja Squid main effect on their splatfest shirts and Team Flight should've had the Ink Jetpack as special (not sure about its name in english, that flying ulti) regardless of main weapon.

Also I would always choose flight over invisibility, must feel so great to fly without the need for a vehicle or equipment of some sort.

'That Splatfest Tee is pretty important, as it happens.'

@Dazza: You actually left out the most important aspect of the Splatfest Tee: Murch will scrub its slots for only 2000p. For any other item this costs 20000p, so it's the cheapest way to get ability chunks and design your own gear.

Oh, and I already voted for flight, obviously.

Can't defeat what you can't see.

Hopefully teams are a bit more even this time around....also, go team flight!

I'm sticking with Pearl rather than going with my instinct for invisibility.

I picked flight. To make a fair choice I imagined that both powers would have to have similar limitations to be fair. For instance it would have to required the same amount of effort for both, so either no effort to do them or it tires me out just as fast to be invisible as it does to fly. If I can fly with all my clothes on while holding a phone then I can be invisible with my clothes on as well. Keeping everything as equal as possible I would rather fly. I'm not really interested in secretly watching people "ink their Splat Zones".

I just wanna fly! Go Team Flight! My first Splatfest. Pretty excited. Can't wait till midnight.

@Lumine flight for life!!

Invisible here! let's go! Good luck everyone.

@gokev13
Perhaps invisibility could be useful, but Flight would be just so THRILLING, wouldn't it?

Team Invisibility are Losers big time, cos one squirt and they are covered in ink.

@trip241 And exactly where would you know where to aim at?

@FlashFan207 Fly like an eagle! Get ready to have fun, and best of luck to you fellow air squid! Maybe Nintendo will do another superpower themed splatfest in the future. I think super speed vs. super strength or telepathy vs. time travel could make for some interesting debates (and in-game posts, lol) 😀

@Vegeta937
Ooooooooohhhhhhh!!!! Those are some good suggestions! As for me of course, you know I'm going super speed.

And good luck to you, too. So far my teams have been getting their butts kicked pretty hard. Awfully frustrating!

@BenAV
So far wait times in the lobby for me have been super fast. 👍🏻

@meppi
We would just shoot everywhere! We're flying, you can't hit us, lol. Just float up there and rain down purple paint wherever we see any green stuff being put down!

Flight is destroying Invisibility. I'm litterally winning every match so far hehe.

I tried making a splatfest team with my friend but it didn't work at all. Do you really need 4 people to play with your friends?

@Aurumonado
I think you do. We couldn't start ours until we had our fourth.

@Anti-Matter flight doesn't come with the ability to breathe in space.

Dammit! I missed it!

I would've been #TeamFlight! But apparently, I was #TeamInvisible by way of being a no-show.

I missed it! Bad timing putting the splatfest up against the COD WWII beta.
