== | === Tips === | ||
==== Squeezer ==== | |||
Choosing the [[Squeezer]] allows to face the mission relatively faster than doing it with the other provided weapons. The single-tap fire mode provides a precise, long-ranged projectile that can destroy quickly and safely the target crates. This [[Shooter]]-class weapon doesn't lose accuracy while jumping, so the player can hit without risks further crates from below. | |||
==== Splat Charger ==== | |||
Ink economy, decent aim and paying attention to the charge are necessary to beat this mission while using the [[Splat Charger]]. In fact, it cannot be used to its maximum potential, because a fully-charged projectile will penetrate through the crates and break both the target and the normal ones. To complete this mission properly, after choosing this weapon, the player must take advantage of the Splat Charger's range and precision and they have to be careful to not shoot a fully-charged shot: however, a three-quarters of charge can create a projectile that can one-shot a crate without touching the ones behind it, allowing to complete the mission faster (the player has to be careful, because the interval between the three-quarters and the maximum charge is very short). It's recommended to find the key for the second checkpoint and use it at least halfway. After taking the checkpoint, respawning from it restores the normal crates, previously ink-stained, to a non-damaged state. | |||
==== Rapid Blaster Pro ==== | |||
The [[Rapid Blaster Pro]] is certainly the most risky choice. Despite having pretty long range and a precise aim, the explosiveness of the shots increases the chance to damage the normal crates, especially when they "surround" the target crates. Concentration, a perfect aim and damage awareness are a must to avoid a failure. Even aiming badly for Grapplinks can lead to a fatal mistake. The best strategy to adopt, in addition to keep calm, is to aim for the edges and for the angles of the boxes: doing this will weaken the blasts and minimize possible damage to the other crates. Doing this is easier at the top of the statue, when more crates have their angles exposed, and more difficult (but more necessary too) when facing the lower crates, which are enveloped within the tentacles of the statue. | |||
The best way to face this mission is to destroy every crate on the top, because they are easier to destroy, and then to focus on the lower ones, trying to find the key for the checkpoint. After destroying more than half of the crates, it's recommended to reach the checkpoint to avoid restarting from the beginning (and to restore the crates if the player fails). Think about disabling motion controls for extra precision. | |||

Matchmaster Station is a test in Splatoon 2's paid downloadable content, Octo Expansion. This station is unlocked after clearing Cool Your Jets Station or Girl Power Station.
Access
The player must clear either J01H07 Cool Your Jets Station or J03D08 Girl Power Station to access this test. The shortest way to access this station is to clear J03D08 Girl Power Station.
Walkthrough
Overview
Players must carve a sculpture on the right to match a copy of the octopus-shaped sculpture on the left. Unlike F07C12 Matchmaker Station where players must compare the two sculptures constantly, all the crates that need to be destroyed in this mission are item crates, while all the ones which should not be destroyed are normal crates. Despite this, the sculpture is very large and various Grapplinks are located throughout the structure to get around.
Various item crates contain ink refills. One crate, however, contains a key and using this key on the vault at the center of the map gives access to a single checkpoint which saves any progress made to the sculpture. If a player were to fail the mission, they would be reset to that point rather than having to restart from scratch.
After successfully matching the sculptures, the top of the left sculpture will raise, revealing the goal.
Tips
Squeezer
Choosing the Squeezer allows to face the mission relatively faster than doing it with the other provided weapons. The single-tap fire mode provides a precise, long-ranged projectile that can destroy quickly and safely the target crates. This Shooter-class weapon doesn't lose accuracy while jumping, so the player can hit without risks further crates from below.
Splat Charger
Ink economy, decent aim and paying attention to the charge are necessary to beat this mission while using the Splat Charger. In fact, it cannot be used to its maximum potential, because a fully-charged projectile will penetrate through the crates and break both the target and the normal ones. To complete this mission properly, after choosing this weapon, the player must take advantage of the Splat Charger's range and precision and they have to be careful to not shoot a fully-charged shot: however, a three-quarters of charge can create a projectile that can one-shot a crate without touching the ones behind it, allowing to complete the mission faster (the player has to be careful, because the interval between the three-quarters and the maximum charge is very short). It's recommended to find the key for the second checkpoint and use it at least halfway. After taking the checkpoint, respawning from it restores the normal crates, previously ink-stained, to a non-damaged state.

The Rapid Blaster Pro is certainly the most risky choice. Despite having pretty long range and a precise aim, the explosiveness of the shots increases the chance to damage the normal crates, especially when they "surround" the target crates. Concentration, a perfect aim and damage awareness are a must to avoid a failure. Even aiming badly for Grapplinks can lead to a fatal mistake. The best strategy to adopt, in addition to keep calm, is to aim for the edges and for the angles of the boxes: doing this will weaken the blasts and minimize possible damage to the other crates. Doing this is easier at the top of the statue, when more crates have their angles exposed, and more difficult (but more necessary too) when facing the lower crates, which are enveloped within the tentacles of the statue.

After destroying more than half of the crates, it's recommended to reach the checkpoint to avoid restarting from the beginning (and to restore the crates if the player fails). Think about disabling motion controls for extra precision.
