Well I can't say I'm a huge fan of the paintbrush. It's kinda neat to run around and be all Bowser Jr., but it doesn't mesh with my style of playing turf wars at all. Usually I never get the lowest amount of points in a match, but here it is. I'll stick with the splattershot ilk for now.
As for ranked battles, I guess it's a lot better there, but I'm so bad ;_; I keep losing every ranked match I'm in. Horribly. It's just not clicking with me.
Single player-wise, I've cleared up to the second boss. Level 8 stuck out well to me because it was a single stretch of navigating the warehouse, fighting Octarians. Really tested your mettle in the multiplayer. And level 9 was intense because of the constant inkstrikes. Dunno if it was lazy or a neat callback to have to be an expanded tutorial level.
@Noqanky:
Added slots and re-rolled my gear and the results were positive. Seems I have my first main set of clothing, will probably try to optimize other clothes I like. Except shoes, the octoling boots come the closest to heaven for me.
Currently I still have the squid pin from the amiibo, but I'm sticking with….uh....er, the names escape me. A marroon hoodie and orange-blue sneakers. I like to have different skills, but I'm a sucker for the aesthetically pleasing sets. It's kinda why I don't want to use the gas mask...
Also, +1 for Callie and Marie. Love those two.
