Do the various stats on gear matter at all? I mean, I have a very specific look I'm going for but don't know if I should be stacking ink resistance or something.

Stats on gear matter.

There is a way to get whatever stats you want on whatever gear you want so you can look fresh. Talk to Merch to find out more!

I think it's a bonus to getting to a certain point with your weapon.

You see that little arrow with “Dry”, or other words I can’t remember right now, a flag, and a number, in the lobby? That goes up by 1 and down by .5 (I think there might be some exceptions, but that’s the general rule) as you win or lose. When you hit the next threshold/title for the first time, you get a freshness bonus. It’s kept track of per weapon, so I’m using it as an excuse to play with multiple guns.

Using the brush as a weapon means showing up at an angle that the enemy doesn't expect because you can move at really good speeds in enemy ink. Add to that the fact that you're going to win a fight if you come within stabbing distance of your target. So, ideally you'll want to come at unsuspecting targets from the side or back without them knowing. you're pretty fragile though, and if they see you coming, you might want to change strategy. Fortunately, you are also the best at escaping harrowing situations since you can run on enemy ink if you have enough ink yourself. The key is knowing when you should live to splat another day and fall back. That said, if you get really good at zigzagging, you might be able to close in on your target and spat him anyway if he's spotted you but is alone.

two things i learned about specials today that probably everyone knew:

1) if you use splashdown from higher up it has an increased area of effect
2) when using the jetpack you can press B to gain a small burst of height :supaburn:

jetpack one is a gamechanger to me since i use it a lot and often found myself getting caught just slightly short on certain ledges. can't wait to bust that out sometime, as well as just being harder to hit due to moving around a bit more.

i also played around with splashdown a lot tonight because i'm trying to get freshness bonuses on other weapons to level up faster. i like this special a lot more now that i've practiced with it. i'm always trying to find high ground to make it more effective, and if i'm feeling extra spicy as soon as i charge it up i hide around a corner and open the map to see if any of my teammates are fighting anyone. if so, surprise the enemy with a super jump splashdown :getin:

praying to the nintendo gods that i someday get a weapon that has both squid beakons and splashdown because that seems like a recipe for instant fun

i played a game with you earlier today and i think that's been the only time i've seen beacons in the game so far

i used one that round but i'll definitely be looking at beacons differently from now on if i've got splashdown equipped, at least more than just a "you died so get back from spawn faster and safer" object

sub weapons aren't used in other modes? I'm not sure that I follow... You know that you can lob spat bombs in other modes, right?

I'll go dozens of turf wars without seeing a single subweapon and then head to ranked to see 4 subweapons on the point constantly.

I have a question in regards to the final boss.

If Callie had won the final splatfest of 1 and the roles were reversed does that mean she would of woke marie up by smashing a roller into her face? Splatoon 1 stated she uses Rollers while Marie uses Splatterscopes so I'm just trying to picture how that cutscene goes down because everything I'm thinking of is comically violent.

something that bums me out about the end of the story in this game is callie shows up for ten minutes or so and then promptly exits the game never to be seen again outside of boss refight. marie still hangs around the plaza/octo valley, the zapfish can be seen atop inkopolis, who is callie????

just because she lost the splatfest doesn't mean people don't like her at all :smith:
