When activated, the user temporarily rises upward and levitates above the ground, holding up a glowing ball of ink that charges up over time. Once charged, this can be thrown to make an ink explosion which is made larger as it charges up. The user and their teammates can use the "Booyah!" signal to charge up the attack faster. Teammates using this signal also slightly fill up their own special gauge. The charge takes approximately 8.5 seconds to reach its maximum power without signalling. With only the user signalling, it can be reduced to about three seconds, and less if multiple players are contributing. Equipping S2 Ability Special Power Up.png Special Power Up also reduces the charge time of the Booyah Bomb.

Once the user rises to the necessary height to perform the special, the user is protected by a limited-durability shield similar to S2 Weapon Special Ink Armor.png Ink Armor which negates damage until it either breaks or when the special ends.

Details

  • The Booyah Bomb does not destroy or repel incoming fire like the S Weapon Special Inkstrike.png Inkstrike or S2 Weapon Special Splashdown.png Splashdown. Targets within the explosion are still vulnerable from external fire.
  • The way the Booyah Bomb inks the ground is in an expanding fashion; it inks the middle first and progressively expands outwards. Because of this, it does not re-ink the middle while expanding, meaning opponent are able to retake turf before the attack is finished.

Trivia

  • The design and function of this weapon appears to be inspired by the Spirit Bomb from the manga and anime series Dragon Ball, created by Akira Toriyama. This is especially reflected in its ability to become stronger the more people cheer on the user. Its American and Japanese names also mirror the change from 'ball' to 'bomb' for the technique.
  • The way that the Booyah Bomb deals damage, as well as the large circle of ink that the Booyah Bomb creates when it hits inkable turf, are both very similar to the S Weapon Special Inkstrike.png Inkstrike.
  • The Booyah Bomb was not the first special weapon to be added post-release; that title belongs to the S2 Weapon Special Bubble Blower.png Bubble Blower. However, unlike the Bubble Blower, the Booyah Bomb was not confirmed in the initial release by an in-game description.
  • As of Version 4.2.0, there are glitches involving the Booyah Bomb and Quick Super Jump, allowing the player to glitch out of bounds if they jump from one side of the map to the other. The more horizontal the jump, the better the results.[2]
  • The Booyah Bomb was shown in the Version 4.0.0 trailer, but neither the S2 Weapon Main Kensa Splattershot Pro.png Kensa Splattershot Pro nor the S2 Weapon Main Kensa Dynamo Roller.png Kensa Dynamo Roller was made available until Version 4.1.0.
