Splatoon Splatoon version 1.3.0 releasing next week

[Jake]

Splatfest Amendments
? If it takes too long to find another team, you can fight the same team again.
* Even if playing against the same team, Splatfest Points can still be earned.
* Only the opposing team?s results will be counted at the conclusion of a Splatfest battle.
? If you begin the software before the Splatfest start time, an adjustment will be made where you may be able to begin 5 minutes before the start time (from the start time, you can participate in all areas).
* The purpose of this is to reduce congestion that would occur immediately following the start.
? The number of Super Sea Snail increases when you acquire the ?Charisma? and ?Eternity? titles when the team that voted loses.

Special Weapon Adjustments
? Inkstrike: When used, the mark that shows the impact zone has been greatly changed.
? Kraken: If attacked in the middle of using this, they will be repelled stronger than before.

Gear Power Adjustments
? Ninja Squid: The speed of the squid dash has been made slower than before.
? Stealth Jump: The time taken to charge has been made longer.
? Ink Resistance: The negative effects of movement and damage that enemy ink has on you when walked on has been reduced.

Other:
? Various game content has been fixed to better customer experience.

Coming to Japan July 1st, and NA June 30 in the evening, and probs to EU around the same time

If I read that correctly, Ink Resistance will become an even more effective ability. If yes, nice.

"when the team that voted loses"
When the team that voted what? Don't both teams have to vote to participate?

 

[Jinglefruit]

But the real news here, is it's a new version for data miners to find more content coming out.

I hope kraken and stealth jump nerfs aren't too bad. I always use them. o:

 

[Zulehan]

Someone saying he read the original Japanese for this announcement said the wording for how Ink Resistance is altered actually indicates it will be less effective after the update.

If yes, sadness becomes me.

Why are they nerfing the stuff I use the most?! I lose enough thank you.

If Ninja Squid is slowed down, will a Swim Speed Up fix that? I actually have both on the same gear.

Currently, a single SS Up as a sub ability almost cancels out the slow down it gives. See here (on mobile so I can't directly embed the video.)

Yeah I figured that it made it slower to begin with. I wonder if now two or three will be needed to cancel?

So Nintendo fixed the White Anchor Tees and Crazy Arrows but everyone will still be wearing the Jungle Hat.
(I literally had three people in my lobby wearing this clothing combination)
