- the team has been adding weapons one by one because they want the same amount of attention for each weapon - the team learned that when they added two new weapons at once, one would end up getting overshadowed by the other - there were more new stages than returning stages because bringing back old stages would have little surprise - since they want
to satisfy both new and returning players, they changed the order of stage additions - there weren't any major direction changes in balancing from Splatoon 1 - there have been more pattern combinations between weapons and stages, so there was more involved
to balance them all - matchmaking is handled by getting 8 players with similar rank points, and then they're split by weapons - the rank point gap between S + players is bigger than ordinary players - only about one in 1,000 active players are in the S +40
to S +50 region in Ranked Battles - there's even less than one in 10 players that reach S +, while 80 % of the overall player base are in A or less - about 90 % of S + ranked players are within a + / -150 hidden ranked power range - rock was the popular genre in Splatoon, so they tried changing it for the sequel - they prioritized making
good background music first before forming the band
to play that music - the design team would make the CD jacket - like artwork afterwards - due
to this, the band members would often change; some getting added while some others removed - Off the Hook is an exception, as they first decided they would be a DJ and rapper along with their visuals first - Off the Hook's song came afterwards - In Splatoon street fashion was the trend, but in Splatoon 2 they tried adding more uniqueness - the aim was
to add Flow with ethnic clothing and Jelfonzo with high fashion - all Jellyfish in this world are born by splitting, which means Jelfonzo was born by splitting from Jelonzo - Jellyfish are like a hive mind - when they hold a wedding ceremony, they're just simply holding the ceremony - Jelonzo and Jelfonzo start gaining their own consciences so they can speak - Flow
used her working holiday
to go on a trip before reaching Inkopolis Square - during the trip, she met the owner of Headspace - the owner liked her, so she got hired
to work there - Bisk has a unique way of speaking: anastrophe - the team tried
to express him as an adult man - they made him into a giant spider crab because they wanted someone with high posture - he came from a cold country and broke up with his girlfriend
to join a band - just like Flow, he became attracted
to squids - Crusty Sean finally has his own shop, but he opened it because he's someone who follows the current trends - one of the trends happens
to be people opening their own shops - drink tickets aren't stacked, but the probability is higher than a single brand - the music in Inkopolis Square changes depending on the player's location - sounds contribute
to creating atmosphere in the location - the song at front of Grizzco Industries had an atmosphere that feels like some smell can radiate from the game screen - as for Salmon Run, they imagined it as a Japanese restaurant
outside Japan that is not run by a Japanese person - each time the player moves between the shops, the game
uses an arrange shift that shows the personality of each inhabitant - the arrangement in Shella Fresh is related
to Bisk's guitar and mystery files that describe his past - with the Squid Sisters moved
to Hero Mode, Off the Hook was
put in charge in guiding battles and festivals - Bomb Rush Blush has an orchestra «because it would sound like the final boss» - the team wanted
to express the feel of the story's real culprit with this music - the probability of each event occurring in Salmon Run is different - there are no specific requirements, meaning they're picked randomly - this means it's possible for fog
to appear three times in a row - the Salmon have different appearances based on the environment they're raised in - if the environment is harsher, they would become large salmon - Steelheads and Maws have big bodies, while Scrappers and Steel Eels have high intelligence - Salmons basically wield kitchenware, but everybody else has a virtue in fighting
to actually cook the Salmons - Grill is the ultimate form of this - when Salmons are fighting
to the death, they can feel the same sense of unity - they would be one with the world if they were eaten by other creatures, and they also fight for the pride of their race - MakoMart is based on a large supermarket in America - the update also took place on Black Friday in America, which was why Squids are buying a lot of things in the trailer - Arowana Mall looks like it has more passages because there are changes in tenants and also renovation work - Walleye Warehouse has no changes at all, because the team wanted
to have at least one map that stayed intact - the only thing different in this map is the graffiti, which is based on the winner of Famitsu's Squid Fashion Contest - all members in the band Ink Theory graduated from music university - they are
well - educated girls who also do aggressive things - the band members wearing neckties are respecting the Hightide Era from the prequel - the team will continue adding weapons and stages for a year, and Splatfests for two years - the team will also continue
to make more updates including balancing
There was a perfect spot next
to the dining table
to put our dog's extra large crate, and it fit just right.There was a vacuum in the closet, and we
used it
to try and keep up with our dog's hair.She is a golden retriever, and we thought she was molting!Hair everywhere and we kept bedroom doors closed, but we did our
best to stay on top of it.She behaved like a pampered princess, and she wasn't crazy about the heat and the humidity.One evening we sat out on the porch with her, enjoying the evening in the rocking chairs, and when we came inside the BRB she collapsed on the floor inside and sighed.She apparently was thankful for the central air conditioning!For that reason, I think we will leave her with one of our daughters the next time we visit and stay with the Mermaids.The BRB is located in a quiet neighborhood which was perfect for us.Even
better, it is located around the corner from AJ's Dockside Restaurant.Good food and perfect outdoor views of the sunset and the marsh from the
outside tables.For those dinners when you would like
to eat in, there is a grill in the backyard with a cover, and we
used it multiple times.We had an excellent experience with the Mermaids, and we will most definitely stay with the Mermaids when we visit Tybee Island again.
