Winning battles awarded 'clout' to the winning team, and at the end of the Splatfest, the winning side was decided by evaluating popularity and clout earned in both battle modes. The only mode available in a Splatfest was Turf War, but players could choose between normal and pro modes. Themes were usually region-specific and happen at different times of the month. Splatfest themes were usually announced two weeks in advance, and players were given the ability to choose their team in the game's lobby.
In addition, there were two collaborations during these Splatfests: Nickelodeon's Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Super Smash Bros. Once per month until July 2019, a "Splatfest" event was held in which players could choose one of two teams, usually based on common debates such as heroes versus villains and pancakes versus waffles. A new mode, Salmon Run, allows up to four players to team up cooperatively to tackle waves of enemies called Salmonids and collect Boss Salmonids' eggs. League Battles allow players to form teams with friends playing the same modes as in Ranked Battles. Splatoon 2 also maintains the first game's rotation of Splat Zones, Tower Control and Rainmaker for Ranked Battles, which is unlocked when you reach level ten, while also adding a new Clam Blitz mode. Like the previous game, it features the standard Turf War mode for Regular Battles, in which two four-player teams have three minutes to cover the most turf with their color of ink. The sequel adds new standard, sub and special weapons, including dual-wield pistols called Dualies that allow the player to perform dodge rolls, shotgun-like weapons called Brellas that enable defensive maneuvers with folding shields, and jetpacks known as Inkjets. Inklings and Octolings can morph between humanoid, or kid form, where they switch from walking and shooting, into squid form where they can quickly swim through ink of their own color, and replenish their ink supply, as well as return to full health. Ink is also used to cover the ground, or any paintable surface, in order to swim or refill their ink tanks. Not all characters are the best for every type of player, but there's more than enough to choose from, based on personal fighting preference.Like its predecessor, Splatoon 2 is a third-person shooter in which players control characters, known as Inklings and Octolings, and use colored ink as ammunition. Whatever the case, the game's roster of characters has increased since its initial release, with some new contenders offering up a significantly powerful set of moves and abilities.
Some are defensive, some are offensive, and others are capable of straddling the fence and holding their own as middle-ground characters. Updated on August 30th, 2021 by Derek Draven: Super Smash Brothers Ultimate is loaded to the brim with fighters of every shape, size, and franchise imaginable, but not all are built alike. There are a lot of great fighters in the game, but they can't hold a candle to the best of the best. This is especially the case when playing online, as some players are far more challenging to beat than the CPU. It is important to remember that these characters do differ in skill levels, and in some cases, fighting ability.
