Your joke didn’t even work, that was a stubby squid not a type of octopus! For anyone who wants in on the joke the anon made reference to they were talking ‘bout this post the Squid Research Lab made.

We interrupt your daily Tumblr-browsing to bring you this Squid Research Lab Special Report.  In addition to learning all about Salmon Run, we’ve also learned that Splatoon 2 is coming July 21!

The Squid Research Lab can confirm that Inkopolis Plaza is no longer the central hub of Inkling culture. Apparently a new location within Inkopolis known as "Inkopolis Square" is now the most popular area for young Inklings. Many new businesses have opened shop in Inkopolis Square, and it is only two subway stations away from Inkopolis Plaza. We at the Squid Research Lab were surprised to learn that the center of Inkling culture has changed locations in such a short amount of time, but perhaps there is something to be learned about the Inkling way of life in all this. Or maybe we're just thinking about it too hard.

Our research indicates that the mid-battle stage map has changed a bit. Apparently Inklings can press the X Button to view the map at any time during a battle. Once the map is open, they can then press the directional buttons and the A Button to Super Jump to a teammate. Each teammate is assigned to a different directional button, as is the spawn point. The map also features a cursor that can be moved by tilting the controller.

A Squid Research Lab special report: As we suspected, Turf War is still the most popular sport among Inklings. The basic rules of this sport remain the same--two teams of four Inklings compete to cover the largest area of ground with their ink color within the allotted time. Inklings still eat, sleep, and breathe Turf War, and the sport still drives the direction of fashion, art, and language for Inkling culture.
