Title is topic, as always. In my opinion, I'm mixed. At the same time I like the power of all the Splatoon 1 specials, I do find the Splatoon 2 specials weaker and easier to dodge. Tenta Missiles will always be easier to dodge than an inkstrike, in my opinion.
Do you enjoy the Splatoon 1 specials or the Splatoon 2 specials? Would you like to one day, hope to squid jesus that the Splatoon 1 specials one day return to Splatoon 2 specials? Do you hate spaghetti? I'd love to hear what you'd have to say.
Old. I found every special to be good in Splatoon 1, but 2 has some ones that I REALLY don't like.
Ink Armor is kind of like Echolocator. It helps, but there's never a situation where you NEED it- you kind of just activate it when it comes up. I don't like that.
Splashdown is awesome, and it's easily one of my favorites and one that I really like.
Inkjet is awesome too, but it should be easier to control and get that one-shot. It's predictable and easy to avoid.
Tentamissiles are cool, but again, too easy to dodge. They should land in a small vicinity AROUND their target to make them less easy to run from.
Stingray..... is just terrible. If you could see through walls ALL the time, then it might be good. And if it did more damage. But right now, it's just a much worse killer wail.
Bomb Launcher is just bomb rush. Nothing to say about that.
Inkstorm is meh. I like it in Turf Wars and Splat Zones, but in other modes it's just useless.
The Baller and Bubble Blower are ones I haven't played yet, so I'm not sure.
1's specials felt balanced, with maybe the Echolocator and Inkstrike being a little worse. While 2's are creative, some just really turn me off.
