Japanese just love Easter island aesthetic. I remember little Moai cameos in coin-op games since the eighties.

Good Grizzco load out. I don’t get the squiggle, like what makes it unique compared to other snipers?

Also ink brush has far shorter range than i anticipate every time. But we got the guy down to half before running out of time. I like the map too. Ink the tower walls people!

I kinda assumed there would be like, a level near the end that was exactly the same except you had to paint it in like 3 minutes with Octolings or shadow clones up your rear end. but not even

Didn't Octo Expansion have several levels where you just had to walk around some really big structure and paint all of it? Just felt like a continuation of those levels to me, although IIRC those were usually a little more puzzle-y in how to cover all the area. Could have also been a little nod to Octo Expansion's final level.

It is amazing how much of a difference a real weapon rotation makes. Also funny because this rotation would be bad in S2, but the glowups to the Sloshing Machine and Inkbrush are much appreciated.

Use them on the gacha machine. Enjoy your free rolls. They're also used as tallies in the final scoring, but that's it.

it's pretty good at inking, the tap shot has so little consumption as to be zero.

Squiffer has great DPS and is one of the best boss killers and the piercing makes it great for crowd control.

Also please do not camp the shores if there's a Big Shot cannon there. The eggs that get volleyed to the basket will be useless if no one is there to stop the Snatcher rave party. Dump the eggs you get from killing the Big Shot(s) and maybe some other bosses there and make yourself useful somewhere more relevant. Also if you die on the shorelines, you are massively wasting your team's time when they have to come rescue you.

I don't remember any levels like that in OE, but I don't think I would remember them.

Anyway another thing I wanted to say: I wish the Big Man boss fight had been significantly harder. cos anyone who recognizes the reference would be saying 'Oh poo poo!!!! Oh no

I just got boxed in a lot and had to scramble pretty often to make space, especially in the third phase. I would’ve liked it if the super they gave you for it was the inkjet to hammer home the “this is meant to be this other boss fight” point.

Oh wow, I'm absolutely swamped with work this whole week (up until around the start of Splatfest) and have been avoiding the game but kind of want to try to make some time somewhere just to see what the Inkbrush is like in Salmon Run. I usually love it in the normal multiplayer and don't remember ever using it in Salmon Run in S2.

I found it far too easy too, not only because of this, but also because the sensor gear upgrade broke the fight completely. It marks the real one with red.

For the demo splatfest, you werent allowed to use the shells on the gacha machine so instead they made it so the game would use up all of your team's shells to get you into a 100x or 333x battle

I wonder if theyre gonna do the same thing this splatfest or if will there be some other way to get into those big battles

We’re they in the ring? You can’t revive until they’re in the ring. Also the brush can revive just by walking into a ring with the brush down and you running behind it, that’s pretty much the one good use for it I’ve found.

Are there any rewards tied to lvl. 3 Tableturf opponents? I know that three battles of the previous tiers unlock opponents or levels, but I'm haven't seen anything yet playing lvl.3 battles.

It doesn't guarantee the wave. Also it takes everyone's king meters into account, not just yours.
