oh hi there we of the squid research lab have returned to present our latest findings so buckle up and keep your tentacles inside the vehicle at all times it's been two years since that fateful day when the Inklings split species cookie with its amazing abilities to shoot ink in humanoid form and to swim through ink in squid form candy Snoopy death a radical food culture has emerged Inklings have developed a taste for combat and competition not to mention fashions the ceremonial turf war is one such sport in which to split squads of poor base off to see which team can cover the most turf within this popular tradition isn't going anywhere which remains as popular is ranks battle for the very best teams and players compete online to achieve a higher rank and ultimate bragging rights here in Annapolis where Inklings prepare for ritualistic face-planting by equipping gear and weaponry but it's not all doom and gloom all squid gear is designed for both function and fashion in fact everything about inkopolis lends to its reputation as the for most happening place in the world as you can see here the communal aspects of inking society are greatly valued but so is individual expression nice shoes like other cephalopods entrance can even choose their skin and eye color but unlike regular squid they have custom hairstyles and leg wear to the various clothing and choose the splits are wearing is actually called gear and has important roles in these battles to both looking good and good abilities are needed to be fashionable let's take a look at some gear it takes more than style to win a turf war luckily the Galleria over on the left houses a row of popular gear and weapon shots each item you acquire here has one or more abilities that should prove effective in battled so let's take a look inside shall we this is the head wear shop head space cut fashion on the brain so does flow from hats to glasses this sea slug carries it all though I must say she's a bit of an odd one [Music] Inklings like to think of her as their crazy old a you know cloth shop is a clothing boutique run by a jellyfish named JAL Vonzell unlike most jellyfish it can speak the inkling language but it's almost as if you learn to speak English by reading ancient inkling literature his strange manner of speaking aside the young squids of inkopolis are crazy about his ways [Music] next up the shoe shop shall afresh they have all kinds of footwear here sneakers sandals boots you name it and might I add that bisque is the least crabby spider crab I've ever met he's got an Arab experience and he's a pretty chill guy do well salute last but not least let's hit up the weapon shop MO nice you may recognize the horseshoe crab who runs the place Sheldon has a gift for weapon design and his uncanny ability to blather on about Inc weaponry is second to none now I know what you're thinking if only you could tune out his weapon dissertations with the press of a button well now you can Sheldon's really outdone himself I can't wait to study these weapons in greater detail to start weapons come in two sets of three our main weapon a sub weapon and a special weapon [Music] let's examine some main weapons first your standard shooters are great for both splatting opponents and in concur there are many different types of shooters to choose from rollers are adept at a feature quickly and devastating at close range they can steamroll opponents while rolling along the ground or they can cling a wall of ink to keep opponent at bay Chargers are long-range weapons well-suited for sniping distant foes they have a long and narrow a trajectory which is ideal for creating zing claims that your team can quickly swim through but they're generally pretty slow at inking turkey splatling cannons like chargers have to be charged up before unleashing a torrent of ink but what a torrent it is they're slow though and the long charging time leaves you vulnerable slashers may be a rather unconventional weapon type but there's no arguing with a full bucket of into the bass blaster shootout of all events that explodes on impact or in midair it's great for spotting opponents hiding behind corners [Music] each weapon and weapon type has its plain enemy country so if you may want to chop around before you settle down in splits into some of the weapons have extra functionality that was not present in the first game Chargers now let you keep your charge bell swimming around in eight rollers can be swung vertically to increase your range and the new Dooley's led to God's role as you can see when weapons open up some interesting maneuvers but what good is our D without the development part in producing the clash blaster it has short range but the high firing rate and explosive tendencies keep the enemy at bay introducing the flings our roller its horizontal swings are back and though it's vertical swings take long time to explain it further - believe it or not the rubber tree is shaped depending on how you swing it I wonder if its shape shifting has a special significance to regions introducing the goat Oberg this one is special they hold a charge for an extremely long time and as a result you can read through a better location well powered up and unleash a mighty sneak attack kakaw introducing example Dooley's even for a pair of beauties these things are incredibly light and weight that way you spend less time God willing and more time winning [Music] but what about sub-weapons in addition to spreading in chemical sub-weapons provide other abilities that help with both the dose and reconnaissance some are really making waves with implants for instance the autobahn locates and hunts down enemy the a flea an atomic mist can be affirmative surrounding them in a harmful gas and that's just the beginning new sub weapons are currently in development of the plethora of unexpected tactics are possible when you mix and the mastery of in combination so kind of know and find what works for you ah now for the all-new special weapon and buy all-new I do mean all of them are new as veterans no you have to cover character fill up your gauge or no special weapon for you additionally when another player special gauges for their you are live from remove oil giving you more information on which to act [Music] tensa missiles locked onto enemies and fire multiple projectiles the deep-set enables you to fly through the air and launch explosive blobs away at the enemy came a stingray fires high-pressure day that can somehow show through balls the splashdown clears out enemies by causing an explosion after you dive down to the ground from the air the ink guard is always making it rain if the bomb launcher allows you to launch a collage of bombs onto the battle people aim farmer increases you the chance of all your allies for a set period of time completely negating the damage from a single attack no matter how strong and finally the baller put you in a giant explosive hamster ball it will roll you wherever you want even a blow jumps imagine the possibilities afforded by each of these special resident so far we've examined in frontier weapons and the strengths and weaknesses inherent to each event it's important to choose the right ones to take into battle for the stage and mode you've selected speaking of modes turf war is just that a battle for territory no matter how many times you get blessed if you is the most turf victory is yours it really pays to cover up and immune and not only as to your coverage it reduces theirs and restrict their movement around the stage Inklings will do battle anywhere city street a sports club an academy a concert a racetrack and so on catch my drift I certainly hope so because these stages are riddled with hazards such as this shipyard even use them to your advantage or get splatting it's your move in addition to turf war serious squids can experience the thrills of ranked battles there are three modes that rotate every two hours class owners fight for control of the splat zones placed on the stage the team that maintains control of the longest reign supreme power control -

They're speaking english for some of it.I thought it was suppose to be all gibberish.

Like "don't stop, move it now. (There's) gonna be another way."

"Pick up, move your body"

etc.
