[@Aoryen]

man I've been blabbing about how there are heavily armored vehicles and how the "Splatfest venue" looks suspiciously similar to a refugee camp theorized that we're getting forced out of cities by salmonids or something similar to that but nobody has believed me because "Splatoon wouldn't do that" wtf do they mean "Splatoon wouldn't do that" have they even touched literally any piece of the older lore???

[@meowsername]

im calling it now If Mr grizz comes back from space during this splatfest I will…

[@I_like_ravioli]

@@meowsername what if he finds a way to control the salmonids 🤔

[@Silly_Luca]

I will kiss him idk about you

[@InsertQuarterPlz]

I think when the final splatfest happens, THEN story mode is gonna take place, so.. I don't think Mr Grizz is gonna be included.

They better bring back a human in a crystal form

[@colorstar22]

My theory is that at the end of the grand festival, (the day after) we do not begin in the town but in the land where the grand festival is happening, and we got a message from girzzco, or maybe even the salmonid themselve that breadcast to us a thing like "YOU JUST GO OUTSMARTED BY WALKIN FISH, MORON !" (even maybe Omega-3)

[@smartliam]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@NeoMagicStar]

if Omega-3 comes I will cry tears of joy (#1 Omega-3 fan right here)

[@Tako258]

Salmonids might be the new main villain in splatoon 4 because of this

[@JAYZ-47465]

YESSSSSS I love Omega-3 so this would be very cool if this happened

[@rockinggamerdude]

Since this is held in the tutorial area, what if they also finish construction in some of the other maps

[@giltboulder]

As a mainly salmon run player I see this as a win

[@NeoMagicStar]

ngl we squids deserve it i could write a whole thing about it but i'll leave that until the event lets go salmon

I think Nintendo is saving on what they found out about Big Run as a surprise for the game. I think that the Salmonoids will try and attack Inkopolis Plaza, Inkopolis Square and Splatsvile again with the Triumvirate wave returning as well. #Splatgangs.

[@MelodyandShas]

I'm excited for off the hooks concert in the grandfest❤❤🎉🎉

[@Henry-I-H-N-I]

Biggest big big run

[@ABDERAMBL]

Actually, this could play into how “Past / Present / Future” affects Splat4- in the aftermath of the final big run, will we jump to a world years after the fallout, return to a time long befor Splat1, or will we explore a world just after the big-run-war?

[@shaner_manerzz6644]

GRAND FESTIVAL HYPE OH MY GOD IM SO EXCITED

[@modularb]

Considering all of the cars and tents out there, I’d say the main reason we’re even out there is BECAUSE of the Salmonid Invasion 🦑💅🫧

[@claytonhildebrandt4674]

They should call it "Bigger Run"

[@JAYZ-47465]

Humongous Run, even

[@Ezrithh]

Kind of hoping it doesn't extend because I already booked time off for just those days the Grand Festival was confirmed

[@keynanmartinez]

I knew this will be the Ultimate Big Run!

[@alohatheegg]

Def cant wait for the live concerts...

[@akeem6024]

Long live the QUEEN!?! Just a theory

[@Tako258]

The salmonid Queen ok that would be cool

[@akeem6024]

@@Tako258 when think of a Queen Salmonid I picture something like a Siren/mermaid monster that attacks with a killer wail, but I’ve been told this would be Nightmare Fuel and shoot it down.😞

[@Tako258]

@@akeem6024 I like that idea even more now as it would fit well with how scary the Salmonid kings are and if the Salmonid Queen is the one with the most power within Salmonid society then she has to look more scary than the Salmonid kings

[@akeem6024]

@@Tako258 I’ve also been told that game technically already has a Queen Salmonid that Meg/Joe is labeled as a Female, Soooooo 🤷‍♂️

[@Tako258]

@@akeem6024 Huh well maybe a Salmonid Queen could be a more intelligent and more humanoid looking Salmonid kinda like the idea of a Salmonling just more mermaid like.

[@silasadams3329]

My 2 cents on this is that, perhaps the splatfest initially has all 3 groups performing in different areas (Maybe the smaller bands like Sashimori or Chirpy Chips too), Salmonids invade halfway through, interrupting the splatfest (Would be awesome attention to detail if NPCs looked panicked), and instead of regular big run music, we instead get special Idol tracks (y'know, because to cheer everyone on like D&D Bards). After Biggest Run, all idol groups perform on the big stage and Tricolor on every stage +1 special stage I hope it's a week-long event. That would be hype AF

[@rain_cludz]

They should add back moray towers for it

[@jerbellegoering2237]

Or Camp Triggerfish could be the refugee camp

[@gamemasterempier]

does anybody wonder that, if there is a salmonid king, where TF is the queen? a king has every right to go and take over stuff but doesn't the queen have the final say on how things should be ran in proper ORDER?

[@raviolinoob4435]

Maybe the mothership?

[@Malarkeypop2009]

If there is a Big run during/ after the festival, than Agents 3,4,and 8 will have to fight the Salmanids together.

[@MikeNIkeVeemo]

At the end of the trailer it does say it’s 9/12 to 9/15 that’s 4 DAYS?!!!? Also the stage when they’re all performing together the overhang IS BURNING ON THE ENDS?!!?

[@JustCrazyDK]

As long as there's not a Golden Locker Decoration to be had, I'm fine with missing a bit of this.

[@Typi]

Fun Fact (SPOILER): There is one more King Salmonid in the code that we haven't seen yet. Is it scrapped? Probably. But it would be sick if we found the "head honcho" of the King Salmonid at Grand Run ; )

[@ALE24ITA]

I predicted something like this in one of my KZbin Shorts. Maybe the salmonids will disrupt the festival 😱

[@diamondaurathewitch7124]

plot twist the grand festivale isn't for splatoon 4 ITS FOR THE 3RD DLC FOR A PLAYABLE SALMONOID SPECIES

[@dhruyoshi1379]

YAY!

[@Johnnekaiser]

Do you think we could be facing Salmonlings too?

[@MoRiSeR_]

Wasn’t there a scroll about 3 lights coming together to banish something or something? I do not remember exactly what it was and I do not care enough to check but there was something like that in the lore already right? So I guess that makes that a prophecy for what’s to come.

[@springb0nnie837]

the three lights coming together was at the end of the campaign for splat 3

[@jerbellegoering2237]

And then there was another sunken scroll abt 7 lights and there are 7 idols.

[@yorichi-Dms]

I KNEW IT (all so this is not final fest)

[@jerbellegoering2237]

It is theyre just gonna do re-runs of old ones

[@Malarkeypop2009]

How come Acht isn’t in the trailer.

[@SpamtonSpamton-e8j]
