'''Squad Battle''' was one of the four multiplayer [[mode]] categories in ''[[Splatoon]]'', alongside [[Regular Battle]], [[Ranked Battle]] and [[Private Battle]]. Squad Battle allowed groups of up to four friends to participate together in [[Ranked Battle]] with other squads. A squad would always battle together on the same team, and players who were [[rank]] S or S+ would not gain or lose rank points. It was made available as part of Version {{Ver|S|2.0.0}}.

==Matchups==
When forming a squad, players could create a Quad Squad (four members), a Tri Squad (three members), or a Twin Squad (two members). Squad Battles were always either 4v4, 4v3, or 3v3 battles, since Twin Squads cannot fight alone - they would be paired up with another Twin Squad for a four-player team, and their opponents would also be a pair of Twin Squads. A Tri Squad, however, was treated as a Quad Squad, to their disadvantage when facing actual Quad Squads. However, if they were matched against a Quad Squad, the Tri Squad members were granted a quicker respawn.

If necessary, a squad could be protected by a four-digit password, allowing the creator of the squad to limit it to just invited friends.

*There was an [[Easter eggs|Easter egg]] in this mode as well as in [[Private Battle]]s: one could play one of the [[Squid Sisters]]' songs, ''[[Calamari Inkantation]]'', using the sounds produced from the individual digits when one sets up a password.


Players can form squads of 2-4 friends. When forming a squad, the player has the option of creating a Quad Squad, a Tri Squad, or a Twin Squad. Squad Battles are always either 4v4, 4v3, or 3v3 battles. Twin Squads are teamed up with another Twin Squad for a 4-player squad. Tri Squads are treated as Quad Squads and may face 4-player squads.

==passwords==
When necessary, you can add a password to your squad. This allows you to decide which friends you want to play with you, while keeping out other, less invited friends. The password is four digits long and must be entered by all friends trying to join the squad. The friends only rule still stands, so you can't just put a password out on the internet without becoming friends with the people you want to play with.
==trivia==
If you scroll over certain keys in the password selection screen, you can play a simplified version of the squid sister boss song.

Squad Battle was one of the four multiplayer mode categories in Splatoon, alongside Regular Battle, Ranked Battle and Private Battle. Squad Battle allowed groups of up to four friends to participate together in Ranked Battle with other squads. A squad would always battle together on the same team, and players who were rank S or S+ would not gain or lose rank points. It was made available as part of Version 2.0.0.

Matchups

When forming a squad, players could create a Quad Squad (four members), a Tri Squad (three members), or a Twin Squad (two members). Squad Battles were always either 4v4, 4v3, or 3v3 battles, since Twin Squads cannot fight alone - they would be paired up with another Twin Squad for a four-player team, and their opponents would also be a pair of Twin Squads. A Tri Squad, however, was treated as a Quad Squad, to their disadvantage when facing actual Quad Squads. However, if they were matched against a Quad Squad, the Tri Squad members were granted a quicker respawn.

Passwords

If necessary, a squad could be protected by a four-digit password, allowing the creator of the squad to limit it to just invited friends. However, the friends-only rule still stood, so even if someone knew the password to a squad, they could not join unless they were friends with the person who created it.
