That feeling of "oh we didn't get it" and then the victory music comes up

*chef kissy fingers*

I always look at the screen and go welp but then it gives us the W and I go D:

lol

The other team made it to our base

But how?

It didn't seem possible

Formless · Mar 25, 2017

Twin stick mode is trash for me lol

Beartruck · Mar 25, 2017

I love how the roller can throw a thin or a wide spray now. Thin helps you cover ground much better. The powerslam fist ult is hype as shit too.

Manny _Calavera · Mar 25, 2017

Just like with the first game I just can't get into this.

I feel the aiming is really loose even when adjusting settings, matches are too quick and the total lack of any team play due to there being no chat or anything really hurts this. Wish I could be playing with friends.

Plus that music makes my ears bleed. This just isn't for me.

On the rock climbing level? There's a small grate bridge over.

I just played a game where we crushed the enemy in that area.

TheCongressman1 · Mar 25, 2017

Thoughts:

Game looks pretty good. Though it needs anti-aliasing, or bump it to 1080.

Music is awesome like always. That defeated track is so nice.

Can't tell much from the gameplay yet. Seems just about the same, which is fine. Also I'm so rusty, and every match ended up 2v4, so yeah.

Yeah, I love the slam! Took me a few matches to figure out how to use it best, but now I love it!

Kureransu · Mar 25, 2017

Hoping I can get into one last have. It's midnight here.

Fake edit: yes!

Raven117 · Mar 25, 2017

So.... can't say I quite get it....

Game isn't for me I guess.

Not sold on the game yet. The motion controls are not good. I didn't know I could turn them off until a few minutes ago. I played one match with them off and instantly became great at the game. Control stick is a million times better.

The different weapons are cool but I hope there is more to the game. So far it's interesting but doesn't seem worth a full price purchase. Never played the first Splatoon at all.

Ok. Not liking them doesn't mean they're not good. Splatoon is the gold standard of gyro aiming, and if you're not able to jump while aiming and snap in mid-air, you're not "instantly great" - their's a much higher skill ceiling.

Pastry · Mar 25, 2017

Found a sensitivity that works for me and now I'm starting to have fun with this. Don't like motion controls tho

wild wild rice · Mar 25, 2017

Learning how to best use the new weapon/special combos seems to be the most new feeling thing here, besides the dj mini game.

Jintor · Mar 25, 2017

last 30 seconds of every match is me tensing up and holding my breath as we speed towards an inevitable defeat

i'm cursing my team with every second breath

splatoon's back baby

SalvaPot · Mar 25, 2017

I just stole a last second victory by jetpacking my way into the enemy turf. Won 42.3% vs 41.7% Feels good man.

Codeblue · Mar 25, 2017

Screw these grates on fitness. I fall through at least once a match.

careksims · Mar 25, 2017

Noooo it's over again!!! It's so addicting

The motion controls are as on point as ever. So effortless and smooth.

I honestly don't get how people dont like them. At first takes some getting used to. But once you have it, man. I wish all shooters were this way.

Do you play inverted in other games?

I dunno... my brain isn't wired that way. Confuses the hell out of me.

marrec · Mar 25, 2017

The Curling Bomb is still so sick

Game isn't for me I guess.

Ranked mode is a lot better, there are map objectives and the ink is a form of advancement and area denial vs the spray everything nature of normal mode

General mobility tips are to flick upwards with a quick spray then go right back into squid mode as that is way higher mobility

watershed · Mar 25, 2017

Great fun. I am still pretty noob but did well with a 500 record overall in the hour. Dualies are fun. The roll is a good move. I wish there was a permanent demo for this game.

MildSoss · Mar 25, 2017

Alright Splatoon, i'm a believer now.

Never played the first one but had lots of fun of with what i played the last hour.

thecouncil · Mar 25, 2017

Times up. Switch back over to Zelda. Haha.

I won so much I got tired of winning. Typically top of my team. Motion control perfection.

Kindekuma · Mar 25, 2017

Annnnd that's it.

One loss tonight, I'll take it!

Busaiku · Mar 25, 2017

I suck with Inkjet so much.
Just use it for the refill.

Domcorleone · Mar 25, 2017

Is the Nintendo shop down for anyone else? I can't even get into the shop to download the beta

Gaiaknight · Mar 25, 2017

little over 30 matches played today and not a single disconnect wired connection ftw

Milennia · Mar 25, 2017

im still in even though its over i guess lol

mentallyinept · Mar 25, 2017

Wife is still playing... Just started another match.

BitStyle · Mar 25, 2017

Still playing matches

Leatherface · Mar 25, 2017

Whelp that was awesome. Can't wait for this to drop. 😃

Bamboo ç«¹ · Mar 25, 2017

Laat match I guess

evanmisha · Mar 25, 2017

And kicked. Another great time with Splatoon 2! Got to try split joycons with the dualies and it honestly felt great.

Other games with stick controls I'm pure crap. Couldn't suck more.

Motion Controls with Splatoon though, just click. I'm good.

marrec · Mar 25, 2017

God damnit this little taste of Splatoon 2 is going to be killing me

Jet pack might be a great strategy with groups then

Haven't seen a way to go over it with a bridge

Have to look

ChrisD · Mar 25, 2017

Got kicked.

It's not wanting to give me any extra matches like you guys keep getting. :/

Totakeke · Mar 25, 2017

What was Nintendo thinking with rollers, they are clearly OP.

I squid.

I played it at the preview events and thought the controllers felt a bit heavy, but it was actually due to those latches they stuck on to the controllers so this felt great. Still trying to figure out how to use dualies but you can really sneak up on someone with it.

thedan001 · Mar 25, 2017

Servers just died for me, 30 mins of non stop games!

Yeah.... I think between that and the motions controls.... just didn't last too long.

TheGoreMagala · Mar 25, 2017

Yup, still got it. Same old Splatoon. 'Teas fun, normally 2000-3000 points per game

Edit: It was weird though, -2 sensitivity seemed too slow whereas -1 and 1.5 seemed to quick, that's always the hardest part for me when it comes to shooters

Maengun1 · Mar 25, 2017

FINALLY got in for exactly one round, lol. But we won by over 20% and I got ~1800p sooo.

I was worried about the X for map instead of gamepad, and, first impression is that I hated it. It took me most of the match before I even realized I was the one squid with eyes and found myself lol. Super jumping is weird now.

I'm sure I'll get used to it quickly but bleh right now

imscore71 · Mar 25, 2017

I played about 2 full matches(both of them were 4v1??), the other 14 or so had communication errors at some point. Judging by the rest of the thread this wasn't common. Should I assume it's my Wi-Fi?

Deleted member 752119 · Mar 25, 2017

Very solid. Just more Splatoon. Little innovation, but if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Mostly played docked with pro controller, but did a couple games portable to see how I liked it. Better docked, but not bad portable since the gyro aiming doesn't take big movements.

HideyoshiJP · Mar 25, 2017

I may do one or two more this weekend. This is fun.

CronoShot · Mar 25, 2017

Uhhh....so someone in my match is named Trintran....
