Do you only have to booyah once for the full effect, or does spamming it increase the strength of the bomb?

For the user, you have to keep spamming Booyah as each Booyah charges it faster by 7%. There's no limit on the Booyahs, so you keep spamming until it's fully charged. Special power up lets it charge up passively faster, meaning you can spam Booyah less and have the bomb ready to go a lot sooner depending on how much SPU you're using.

For the rest of the team, spamming booyah gets you more special points and charges the bomb faster, though the game only registers 5 Booyahs from the rest of the team, each with diminishing returns. (+8%/+4%/+2%/+1%/+1%) So only 5 instances of a special point boost is possible across the team per Booyah Bomb as well (+6/+3/+2/+1/+0.5 special points). Once you stop seeing particle effects go towards the Booyah Bomb, you can stop Booyahing if you're not the one using it.

It does help to charge the Booyah Bomb, but more importantly, it makes it easier to Booyah in the beginning of the match (essential for team morale), to cheer on teammates who make sick kills, and to give yourself a pat on the back when you do something awesome.

I mean, you can play the game without doing all this, but why would you do that to yourself?

Oh I didn't realise spamming booyah got me some special bar. Well that changes everything, no such thing as true altruism and all that.

I spam booyah all the time and wonder why so many people don't respond at the start of the match. If it's something about finger coordination I guess I feel a little less bad about the no-responders but I've never had a problem

Is it people who don't use motion controls? I'm having a hard time thinking about where my fingers go without a controller in front of me, it's like thinking about tying your shoes

I sometimes don't booyah because it's annoying to interrupt movement. But I should get over myself, my team isn't gonna lose if I get where I'm going 300ms slower.

More or less. The gang at the discord usually group up together for excursions, especially during Splatfests.

The game is still fairly populated yeah. The recent Splatfest probably drew some older players who dropped the game back.

Heck, even Splatoon 1 still has matches.

I could see it being a Better on Super Switch! game. I guess this was what that Salmonid thing was hinting at? That you’ll be able to have your own.:)

I’m really excited for that campaign. Was that an upside down Eiffel Tower in the desert?:eyepop:

By the time it releases it'll have been 5 years since Splatoon 2. More than enough time for a sequel.

No more genderlocking, either :3: You pick squid or octoling, but beyond that the hair and shorts options are available to mix and match.


oh yeah, we destroyed the world when we made chaos win lol

Quick and dirty lowdown of the deets:

  • Still 4vs4 matches
  • Spawn points are no more, instead you superjump to the playfield via floating thingamabobs
  • Jumping has been improved, providing better mobility
  • New hairstyles, apparently no longer bound to gender
  • A new weapon type: the bow. It shoots - by the looks of it - three streams of ink

More to come later on, it's quite late and I need to go to bed.

absolutely floored that they probably had a pretty robust pre-production of what we're getting, and a completely different version of the game that's a futuristic dystopia in case Order won
