ULTIMATE CHAOS

Well, appropriate for the team I picked. Also, is it just me or is it sometime hard to distinguish between uninked land and the gold chaos ink on the map overlay? There's been a few matches where huge chunks of our side of the map no one bothered to ink and I can kinda see why.

It is not just you. I find it difficult to tell sometimes even while I am looking at the ground and inking turf.

I'm only level 16 so it's a ways off for me.

Also I apologize for being such a downer. Playing this again has me asking why I ever stopped, it's so freaking fun. But I suck and get easily discouraged. I'm just a weirdo who can't handle losing.

E: I took the advice I'd the goon who said play pro, and it has gone better. Ranked 1725 after everything.

Pro seems to figure out how good you are and put you in games at your level. I wish there was ranked turf war all the time.

Alright, its really just my aim is atrocious. I can't hit squid kids 2 feet away from me with my preferred Splattershot Jr cause its the only weapon Im decent with (and the super lets me ink a ton of free turf in turf war). Im using motion controls but seriously thinking about just trying out normal controls.

It may be short range, and you'll feel like you may be out-ranged a bit too often, but the Tri-slosher doesn't require much aim thanks to its massive spread. I highly recommend it.

Just a reminder to all the squid kids revisiting the game, the discord has some pretty active players, and all of my best times with the game have been with other goons there.

HEY GUYS
Open the news app from the Switch main menu, press + to go to the find channels page, scroll down the list until you find the Squid Research Lab, go down the list of news articles they have to find the chaos/order gear.
You might still be able to get the spring fest gear as well

Hope that helped

Also, yesterday I was getting a variety of Off the Hook and Squid Sisters songs. Today it's been literally nothing but Spicy Calamari Inkantation. It's cool and all, but variety is good!

I guess put me down as a filthy dirty blaster user, cause Range Blaster is the only thing i can get work done on.

I've been sticking with the Rapid Blaster because the little blips between shots are just long enough for me to readjust my terrible controller aim, and the range is just long enough to hit squids one platform up on most maps.

There's a schedule for the songs. It'll change again for the last 24 hours. It was like that in 1 where Calamari Inkantation played for the final 24 hours of the Splatfest.

Also if you're getting sick of one song, be glad you weren't around for Splatoon 1's Splatfests.

The thought occurs that Silver really should've been the Chaos colour rather than Gold. if only so their defeat can be WITNESSED! :mediocre:

In a same team match this time around, the regular color ink they give you still has that sparkly shiny effect the gold/silver ink has. It's neat.

They're in both. Since they're assigned randomly, chances are you might miss them all. That said, Nintendo raised the odds of getting a 100x battle for Final Fest, so carry on turfing.
