Splatoon NEO: Correction Dualies!

Introducing the Correction Dualies, which let you roll continuously!

Correction Dualies (Sea-4) (Copy Clone)

- Push B while shooting to roll for as long as you can

- Roll too long and your character will begin to get dizzy, forcing a longer cool down and lowered accuracy

- Rolling builds up momentum quickly, if your character slams into a wall, they’ll get dizzy from it.

- Rolling takes twice as much ink as an Octobrush takes to run, and you’ll roll at 1.5 times the speed of an inkbrush run.

Correction Dualies: Design + Kit Analysis

Crafted from a popular tool humans used to fix their permanent mistakes, fused with pearly ball bearings to make rolling a breeze. The Correction Dualies are the most ambitious Dualies yet, thanks to the Barreleye engineers. Made a mistake and went too deep into enemy turf? Correct that by rolling out of that situation! Who’s gonna stop you?

Testing shows that the Correction Dualies build up momentum when they roll over their own ink. However, if the player rolls through enemy ink they’ll see reduced speeds to about Octobrush running speeds. A technique I noticed players use was shooting in front of them, then rolling, and repeating that loop for the max amount on speed. They were rolling around at the speed of sound compared to the speed of anything I’ve seen in turf wars before! (For reference, the Correction Dualies roll by shooting out ink at high pressure, making the entire weapon spin on its bearings. The force also makes your character spin too)

Beware the sub weapon that comes with these Dualies. The Sea-4 is a sneaky sticky bomb that attaches to any surface while it waits for its detonation. The player can throw up to four before they all explode at once. Holding the R button triggers a throw, and push R and Shoot at the same time to detonate all of your bombs.

You’ll see players try to run in your turf and place traps with them, or even set traps in their turf for their own defense. If you’re gonna roll deep watch out for them. It’s even possible for players to detonate the Sea-4 after getting splatted themselves.

Unlike any special seen before, the Copy Clone is an exact copy of the player and perfectly mimics their moves. It starts by spawning a copy machine then you and your copy clone spawn side by side. Whichever one gets splatted first is declared the fake, leaving the real player alive. It’s highly unlikely but, if your clone survives long enough for you both to get your special again you could start to multiply yourself. It would be hard to control so many cephalopods at once I assume. The other researchers think it might be a bug so changes in the future might not allow for more than one clone at a time. (It’s very similar to the super cherry from SM3DW!)

Splatoon Neo: Stippling Splatling

Stippling Splatling (Buoyloon) (Sparkling Spear)

-Bullets will naturally go through teammates without the use of the stippling clothing ability.

-Using the stippling clothing ability will allow shots to penetrate enemies too.

-Weapon functions like the ballpoint splatling’s long range mode.

Design + Kit Analysis

Made from a tool that humans continuously lost on a daily basis, fused with modern tech to recreate a technique called stippling. The Stippling Splatling is a great showcase of Barreleye’s ability to hide tech within sleek designs. You never have to worry about your teammates blocking your shots ever again with this weapon as the bullets will go straight through them! So many splats have been missed because of a inconsiderate teammate but now that’s a thing of a past for Stippling players.

The Stippling plays well with the Brella Class. The cephalopods testing these weapons quickly saw how great it was to use each other as uh.. body shields for maximum defense. It’s rare to see teammates protect the range player but the Stipplings power to have range and an extra layer of defense makes for a deadly combo in the right hands. I’ve noticed that users tend to struggle with up close battles though.

Be on the lookout for the Buoyloon, it’s a new sub weapon that floats in the air and pulls anyone who shoots it towards it. This can be helpful to reach safe spaces quickly or even set up a trap for long range aggressors.

The Sparkling Spear is a new special weapon that will send a wave of electricity through connected ink surfaces when it lands. The wave can be jumped over, but if a player is hit by it they’ll be stunned for a brief moment. (More information coming in its own blog post)

The Stippling Splatling functions exactly like the ballpoint pen minus the low ranged mode. It’s new stippling mechanic shows that it can get pretty creative in the right hands. To not make this weapon irrelevant with the coming Stippling ability, it’s given the ability to penetrate certain objects when you wear it with this weapon equipped. (Such as going through the shields of the rainmaker instead of stopping) Balancing not yet perfected.

Splatoon Neo: Bubble Bow | Art Process Video

Bubble Bow (D-koi)(Aluka Net)

- Hold the ZR trigger to charge a bubble shot of ink. The longer it’s charged will increase its distance, with a max distance matching the E-liter.

- After charging the shot to its max, the bubble you shoot will be able to bounce off surfaces before it pops.

- While charging, a laser will appear following the trajectory of the shot. It will also show how it will ricochet and be visible to all players.

- The combined damage from the impact from the bubble popping and the bubble colliding with an enemy at max velocity is greater than 100.

Design + Kit Analysis:

A dangerous tool used by humans to hunt sea life combined with a toy that brings the youth joy. The Bubble Bow is a fearsome weapon in the hands of a player that’s great at making 3D calculations. The projectile bubble will bounce off of surfaces at blazing speeds. Even if you’re around the corner, you’re still in kill range if the Bubble bounces it’s way to you. The rubber duck bubble solution changes the way the bubble interacts with surfaces. Keep in mind that it pops at the end for extra damage, but a critical is already enough for a splat.

Don’t fall for the trap that BB players usually use to trick enemies into their sights. The D-Koi sub weapon makes it look like a player is swimming around in their ink. It’s remote controllable and it can splat you as well. Try to spot the fin that hangs out of the surface, then splat it when you feel like it’s a safe time to.

The Aluka Net is a new special that’s thrown out into the stage as a huge net that can disrupt multiple players. If you’re caught you’ll be slowed down as of hit by a disruptor sub from Splatoon 1. The net is designed so that users can toss it in from afar and collect their catches for splats. Players affected by the net cannot escape by super jumping until the special wears off. Repeatedly turning from a kid to squid has been noted to let some players escape the net early by chance.

If you want to splat a BB player, you’ll most likely have to rush in and use their charge time against them. But be weary of the uncharged shots, they don’t travel very far and pop very quick. This is similar to how Luna Blasters will get splats but the bubble bow has to get 3 indirect uncharged hits to splat. 1 crit at low charge is equal to two indirect hits. (Only max charged direct hits splat in one hit)

Barreleye - Splatoon Neo

Barreleye is the company that manufactures the weapons seen in the Inkopolis Boulevard. The company does a lot more behind the scenes too such as helping the city grow. Barreleye basically runs the city with their contributions. Making it so that indirectly, turf wars help to keep the city running.

The nearby attractions are encouraged to sponsor turf wars to bring more attention to their businesses. Such as the Seven Seas Splash Park, an amusement park similar to Wahoo world. It’s not as popular but with the partnership of Barreleye and turf wars, customers and sponsors will definitely want to check it out.

The symbiotic relationship between the city and turf wars make an unbreakable bond that will protect turf wars from the laws that want them to be watered down. Which makes the Inkopolis Boulevard the best place to compete in turf wars for cephalopods all over Inkopolis.

Barreleye began to share multiple patents of weapons, expect squid research releases on each of them in the near future. During weapon research there will be general research as well.
