but... you get 1000 points from winning...

holy shit i'm so into the splat dualies

Then I dunno.
I was just flabbergasted how they did almost nothing.
Cause I am straight garbage in every other game.

 

[phanphare]

Is it just me or squid swimming slower than splatoon 1?

did you play with swim speed buffs?

 

[tsundoku]

emphatically

 

[careksims]

I turned off motion controls and after 2 matches, I went back to it lol!

 

[Sapiens]

Looks like a very aliased 720p to me

 

[D.Lo]

Finally in! If you're having issues, change your DNS settings!

 

[Codeblue]

Never played 1.

Wondering if it'd be too cruel to crap up everyone else's game with noob skills.

Just have fun dude.

 

[Dark Ninja]

got 1 game in 50 min. Screw it im giving up

 

[wild wild rice]

I decided to try one round in just handheld mode and it worked surprisingly well, even with the motion controls on. Nice to know if I decide to play it elsewhere I won't have to adjust to a different control scheme.

And it looks gorgeous.

 

[MrFrankFontaine]

How come when I try to spawn on my teammates, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong. I hit X, then hit right or left dpad the. Hit/Hold A. Nothing.

 

[TheProphet]

did the first game let you custoimze your SquidKid?

 

[Sterok]

Feels like specials charge faster than the first game, though that's just my gut.

 

[The_Endgamer]

This is no euphemism but can someone come fill up my lobby.

They dead? Or too close?

 

[FaintColt388301]

I've had perfect connection. Gotten in to back to back games the whole time even after exiting to lobby multiple times to let the lady play. It has been a blast watching her. She won and was mvp one game and she is so bad at controlling cameras. It was pretty cool.

I mash A till it works.

Hold the d-pad direction and hit A.

 

[andymcc]

Motion controls with the pro controller are pretty effin good.

 

[Defect]

How do you dodge roll?

 

[JigglesBunny]

Yeah, that was definitley more Splatoon. I love it of course but honestly, feels exactly like the original.

Those who are sticking the Splatoon 1 won't be missing all that much. The experience is still wonderful, but there's hardly anything in the way of new content.

 

[victreeb3l]

So weird to use the pro controller for this. Loving the new music though.

Hold direction mash a is what I did.

 

[BassForever]

the problem imho is the y axis disabling on the right stick. if it was a toggle it'd probably help out a bit

Exactly, I want the motion controls to be for fine tuning my shots like in Zelda and other gyro games. The y axis disabled is especially frustrating when playing in portable mode which is all I've done today.

 

[Formless]

did the first game let you custoimze your SquidKid?

Yeah.

It's already been stated that all old weapon types are coming back and you'll be able to get different gear including cosmetic-only stuff.

 

[Biske]

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.


Also getting used to the map and super jumping.

Splat is back! (never really left, but its baaaaaaaaaaack)

 

[Jintor]

wow just got annihilated 26-61%. effing terrible, locked in our spawn area the entire match.

also discovered you can dive while in jetpack mode, hit squid mode! you're not just a sitting duck!

 

[th3sicknness]

Is this native 1080? Image quality seems a little better than my Wii u not as grainy?

 

[pete_clarf]

How come everyone has ordinary, everyday names? Makes it feel like I'm playing against bots!

 

[Cathcart]

Good stuff. Played 6 games, no connection problems and tried handheld and tv mode. Good all around, I'll definitely pick the game up even though I didn't play the original very much.

I don't think motion controls are for me, though. I thought it would be like Zelda where you mostly aim with the stick and then fine tune it with motion. Seems to be all or nothing here. Only time I missed it after turning it off was aiming the jumps in map mode.

 

[psyfi]

Left stick up, spam the face buttons. Enjoy!

holding both sticks down and pushing the face buttons is my fave

 

[friskykillface]

Just play bro , have fun
There's a rank mode but that was unlocked at level 10 in the 1st game
Just play

 

[JohnTinker]

Launching last second rockets is so satisfying.

 

[Thoraxes]

This is 1080P docked for sure.

Looks more dynamic res if anything.

Becuase real men have names like XxdankhedShotZ420xX

Edit: thought you said "boys"

 

[Amani]

I tried alright? I gave motion controls a good few matches. I prefer my stick man.

 

[DKL]

I wish all shooters were this way.

It;s silly because I used motion controls in Gravity Rush 2 and that shit was pretty accurate, so I'm not sure why it's at least not an option.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Me and an enemy player with the jet pack and rocket special in the air had a stand off

I won

So awesome

 

[7DollarHagane]

Gotta have this and Mario kart digital. Will be so nice to boot it up effortlessly.

 

[Oreoleo]

Its crazy to me that people are able to play/want to play with motion controls off. Have you guys played a game that had motion controls you did like? Did you try more than one match with motion controls? did you try split joycon?

Just curious why theres some people like me who swear by it and others who get really turned off by it.

Yeah I have a Steam controller and use motion/gyro controls all the time. The inability to adjust sensitivity on each axis independently and not being able to use the r-stick for vertical movement at all is a deal breaker for me. Its just way too sensitive.

 

[Biske]

It;s silly because I used motion controls in Gravity Rush 2 and that shit was pretty accurate, so I'm not sure why it's at least not an option.

Isn't it though? In Splatoon you've always been able to turn off motion controls like a godless heathen and play the stone age way.

 

[ZugZug123]

Split joycon mode works super well and game still loads of fun to play. Pity it was a disconnect fest at the last 10 mins.

 

[JohnTinker]

Also I can't be the only one constantly opening the map by accident while trying to Jump

 

[TheGreatLugia]

And now my Switch disconnected from the internet all together. Thanks, hotel.

 

[BassForever]

Also I get why they moved jump to b and map to x, but so many months of splatoon 1 and the past few weeks of zelda I kee trying to squid jump and end up looking at the map -.-

 

[marrec]

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

*chef kissy fingers*

 

[Rezbit]

Seem to be having a lot more problems with the controls in this than the originals. Can't get into them. Neither motion or the sticks feel smooth enough.

 

[th3sicknness]

Ya this seems much higher Rez than the reported 720. Has to be 1080

 

[AaronMT86]

Good stuff played about 15 matches. Disabled motion controls, I couldn't figure them out using twin sticks with them. Game looks much better not-docked.

 

[B_Bech]

This is fantastic. I can't believe how perfect this game controls with the Pro Controller. Dualies are a wonderful addition. Does anyone else really dig the new sound direction?

 

[pete_clarf]

Edit: thought you said "boys"

I did say boys at first, but couldn't edit in time because a match started!
