Stats are identical between similarly named weapons. What's different are the sub-weapon/special loadouts, which can make a huge difference in how you play even if the main weapon performs identically.
Sub and special weapons are different

Ah, okay. I'm only level 10 so a lot of weapons are still locked for me.

Right now I can buy a Kensa Jr. with Torpedo and Bubble Blower, a Custom Jr. with Autobomb and Ink Storm, and my default Jr. which has Splat Bomb and Ink Armor.

I also have Dualies with Burst Bomb and Tenta Missiles and I just bought a N-Zap '85 with Suction Bombs and Ink Armor and an Octobrush with Autobomb and Inkjets.

Basically trying to get weapons that can cover a lot of ground but also do some splatting of enemies when need be.

Okay, for real, This is amazing, and I appreciate the level of Gravitas that this final event is generating for itself. I'm looking forward to updates on the war with bated breath!

But please, for the love of all that is aquatic,

Decide as soon as possible wether there will be a seperate thread for fan art, or if it'll be compiled here as people find it.

This is a big event, and as such, many people will be provoked to put brush to paper, or pen to pad, to express their feelings while the iron is hot. Let's not squander this opportunity to bring all these expressions together! Either bump the Splatoon Fanart Thread, create another art thread for the Final Splatfest, or feel free to post the art you find in this thread!

Both the default Jr. and the Custom Jr. are great for beginners. Custom's loadout is particularly good for Turf Wars because Ink Storm gives you lots of points without halting the pace of the game.

I don't like when I face off against my own team (Chaos V Chaos) breaks the flow of the game. Does it affect anything?

I'd say team Chaos. All people expect for one on my friend list are team Chaos and I got a few Chaos vs Chaos fights already.

I have the exact opposite situation with order. Fifteen people on team order, one on chaos. Given the emotional plea from marina, whereas pearl is just her asshole self, I expect order to be the more popular one.

Had two order v order.mathes too.

Interesting, plus people here prefer Order as well. Maybe you're right.

Order is order through submission.

Look at the two pieces of Team Order headgear. One is a helmet to brainwash you and the specs add you to the hivemind.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

Man, I am really bad at Splatoon. I can barely get a kill with even basic/easy weapons (Splattershot).

I'm using a pro controller, but I just can't aim for shit.

Mess a bit with sensitivities (for both gyro and the analog) in the fire range. Try to think if the problem is your aim going past the opponent (reduce sens if so) or not reaching them (increase sens). Our preferences change over time too, last year my sens were in the negatives, now I'm at +2.5/3.

And don't forget that you might be getting either outranged or outdamaged. And, well, being outplayed is part of the game too.

If you haven't already, turn on motion controls and set your preferred sensiblity in the settings.

Also you can just stay a bit behind the front line, ink all free spaces or enemy unguarded zones, charge your special (the inkstorm is pretty usefull if you're doing this kind of job, but anything is good really) and act as a spawn points for your teammates.

I'm still undecided, I'd side with Chaos for rage against the system, but Order has most of my favorite characters

I love Ink Me Up so much, surreal that it's playing here in Splatoon 2.

Also the beginning of the round music...

So good that they used the intro music before the final battle in the Octo Expansion

It's funny, I bought both 1 and 2 and never really got into either of them but Nintendo has done such a fantastic job with this series and its popularity has skyrocketed so if Nintendo hits a home run with 3 I'm definitely gonna invest more time into it.

So do I need the octo expansion to get the octo tracks in Splatfest? Kept putting off buying it cause I haven't beat the original single player mode yet.

No it's random. The final shifty station on the last day of the Splatfest will have some spoilers from the expansion though

Played up to Champion level and then some.

Had a very rough start with 5 losses in a row, but things started to get a bit better after a while. Still, it feels like the opposing team maybe has the more experienced players than us Team Chaos folks, at least here in Northern European front. Got about a 38% win rate so far with 29 matches. Although, if I were to chalk up the first streak of losses to my own rustiness as I haven't played since Octo Expansion, that number would rise up to around 45%, which is about where it should be - close to 50%.

I'll play more over the weekend. Hopefully the tide of war can be turned. I leveled up and made a lot of money, so I got my hands on some new weapons that I'm looking forward to trying out. Of course it could backfire in the Splarfest since they're weapons I'm not used to using, but oh well, big deal.
