Splatoon 2 weapon sparkle mechanic is a sign that you're Squidding out

Most online shooters have a mechanic that lets a really good player truly show off. The Splatoon 2 weapon sparkle is just that – a sign that you’re dominating.

If you’ve ever wondered why some players have a sparkly Weapon, the explanation is here. In Ranked Battle, when you’re on a winning streak and you’ve been playing really, really well – your Weapon will sparkle in the next match. Now you can intimidate your foes while looking glamorous.

In Ranked Battle, when the Inklings appear on stage – surely you’ve seen their weapons sparkling brightly?
Under Ranked Battle rules, this is a sign that you’ve had a recent string of Wins – in other words, it’s grease and evidence of the Squids you’ve defeated.
These powerful players have a high ability and an understanding of their weapons features.
Allies or foes, anyone you fight – check for this pivotal point!

ガチマッチで、登場時にブキがキラリと輝いてみえるイカを見たことはないだろうか？
これは、そのブキ・ルール・ウデマエで、最近のガチマッチの勝利数が多い、いわば脂がノッているイカの証拠だそうだ。
ブキの特性を理解した実力者の可能性が高いので、味方でも相手でも戦い方を要チェックだ！ pic.twitter.com/GVyj1ofoWM
