Unregistered HyperCam 2

(why do i havfe to do it ur the question askerer!!!!!!)

Meowth

(Are you kidding? Look at Pearl! One wrong word outta my mouth and I’m a giant pink ink stain on the floor! Plus, you know them better!)

(ok fine but u ow me one [1] choclat milk)

Unregistered HyperCam 2

…so how did it go girls :O

Pearl

This BLOWS, yo!!!

Paruko

Word.

Marina

Take it easy, Pearlie! We should always be prepared for the worst, especially when it comes to confronting hard-hitters like Dedede… For a matchup like that, we held our own pretty well, don’t you think?

Meowth

Y-Yeah! I agree with the tall one, 55 to 45 is nothin’ to scoff at!

Marina

And hey, look on the bright side! There’s still another chance for us! We’ve got a whole Loser’s Bracket to tackle together! Aren’t you excited for that?

Pearl

…a little bit. BUT THAT DOESN’T CHANGE HOW I FEEL ABOUT LAST MATCH! MC Princess is many things, but she is NOT a LOSER, and if I have to ink my way through this bracket to prove it, then so be it!

Marina

Ayyy, that’s the spirit!

Paruko

Yo, uhhh… who are we up against this time?

Meowth

O-oH! Uhh, that would be Mrs. Mariya Takeuchi!

Paruko

Ohhh… isn’t she the black-and-white lady with the pretty hair? That’s who my little buddy Jack Frost was up against!

Marina

You and Jack are friends?

Paruko

Yeah! We hit it off early on during the Round 1 matches! That little dude is so rad… Check it out! I even took a shellfie with him before our matches!

Pearl

Ooooh, look at Ms. Bigshot over here makin’ new friends! If Jack and his buddy can beat this Mariya chick, then we’re in for an easy victory!

Marina

I’ve seen her around the studio. Is… she okay? She looks awfully pale. Moreso than you, Pearlie!

Meowth

She’s a time traveller! She ended up here in our time period after a flash of white suddenly pulled her from the past! She’s actually a hugely influential J-Pop artist from Japan!

Marina

That’s crayfish… I always see her work recommended to me while browsing SplatNet, yet I’ve never listened to her! I wonder why that is…

Pearl

DUHHH… she’s like crazy famous! She’s obviously manipulating the algorithm to gain clout!

reddit moment O__o

Meowth

Are you guys nervous about facing her? After all, it’s do-or-die from this point onwards for you three!

Marina

I believe in us, and I believe in the power of our fans. They’ve stuck with us through thick and thin, and getting knocked down to Loser’s isn’t going to be enough to break our stride! I’ve gotta hand it to her though, she’s got a lot of talent under her belt. We’re in for a pretty tough match!

Pearl

Pssh, naw. This chick’s a blast from the past who’s in WAY over her head. Heck, she’s even more dated than you, Hypercam!

Unregistered HyperCam 2

owwwww, my feellings… crycrycrycrycrycry hahaha jk lol im not actualy crying. dont worry

Paruko

That was some really good acting, dude.

Unregistered HyperCam 2

omg tthanks paruco [kisses u] :)

Paruko

Please… don’t… do that.

Meowth

For our final question, what reason do you think people should vote you over your opponent, Mariya?

Paruko

If there’s one thing we’re good at, it’s keeping up with the times. Not to be like… disrespectful, but Mariya’s work is soooooo three decades ago. Her songs may have been influential hits back then, but nowadays, squids and people alike want to hear fresh new experiences. That’s what we’re here to provide.

Marina

Paruko’s right. Our battle isn’t over yet. We’ve got some bangin’ new releases planned for the near future, so bring the hype and keep it going! Off the Hook’s King For Another Day Tour isn’t over yet!

Pearl

To all the King For a Day losers who stand in our path, you’d best watch yourselves, cause this is OUR turf, and there’s a Splat Roller with alllll your names on it headed your way!

Meowth

Formidable! That’s all the time we have for now! Can this beloved pop trio make the runback through the depths of the Loser’s Bracket? Stay tuned for further updates and announcements! This is Meowth, signing off!
