Oh, so that's why I see alot of people using it...strange to release it one day after launch of the game.

Interesting, wasn't the Inkbrush the first DLC weapon aswell ?

Splashdown is the perfect special for this. You can zip in so fast with the Inkbrush, that the other team won't know what hit them.

Yes I love the inkbrush the only weapon I used in the original splatoon

I wonder why it wasn't in the game in the 1st place. It's nothing new to the game. Something like that umbrella weapon would be more fitting.
