Liked what I saw so much last night I got up early to play again!! I feel bad for sleeping on the first game, this is so much fun. Count me in when the full game drops!

well, the inkjet is something to be used to that I cannot unless I get used to motion aiming, which I am not a fan unless both Sticks axis and motion works, the no vertical in sticks while enabling motion is a deal breaker to me still since Splatoon on Wii U, other than that, I like the new styles for the inklings a lot gonna be grinding when the game comes out to have the most stylish possible
connections where more stable than on WiiU, dropped players were only at the beginning of the match and not in between for me, no lag for ink in any game at all, seems more stable this time

But you don't need to move your elbows like, at all, it's all in the wrists
For 180 rotations to splat people riding my ass, I use all the elbow. Lmao.

Aw bummer for some reason I thought we had 1 more
Was fun while it lasted, can't wait to forget how to play when this comes out

I made 5/6. Won some inkjet duels this time and finally got a bit of traction with aiming after dual-dodging.
Those are "sub" weapons. Specials are activated by pressing the right stick when you've filled the meter.
Alarm went off, rolled over, grabbed the Switch, split the joycon, propped it up in my chest and was in a game in 2 minutes. Had my best hour yet. Splatoon + Switch is legitimate magic.
Also, battery went from 98% to 68% in that hour. Can't complain too much about ~3 hours of online gameplay on a single charge. Plus, I've got this 21,000 mah backup anyways. Splatoon everywhere everyday.
RELEASE DATE NOW. REWARD US FOR OUR SQUID RESEARCH.

Thanks and damn. I knew I was missing something when I saw people jetpacking around.

Got into a few of the test fire blocks....no lag or anything, the online seems pretty smooth. Wow, it looks rough on a 4K set though. How high does the dynamic res go?

Did any of you have any problems at all connectionwise? It played perfectly once my wifi worked 😂

Damn, sad it's over and I have to wait until the summer to play again. The beta totally sold me this game, as towards the end I finally got the hang of it:
played this whole hour in handheld mode in bed. dat Switch experience. went from 100% to 68% on about half brightness. got an extra match in at the end too.
oh and that glorious hd rumble continues to be glorious. feels a lot better with joy con. Splatoon 2 got me wanting a set of joy con pros if they ever decide to make them.

Well that was a sour note to end on. I played like garbage since I only slept for two hours before getting up for it (going back to bed now, I ain't got nothing to do on a lazy Sunday morning/noon), which was made worse by the fact I was in the lobby for 30 of the 65~ minutes I was in. The last lobby searched for seven minutes straight as people kept getting in and leaving, and it resulted in being kicked from the servers.
Maybe I'll be less grumpy about it when I wake back up.
Still super excited for the full game. Bring on July.

yes. that was fun.
Loved the first game. can't wait for 2.
already liking the specials more than those im the first one.
hd rumble is cool. I payed attention to it in the last slot. While I havent felt all these things described here (like the flying rockets). I could feel some of them

I figured out that if you hit the home button and close the software you can back out of a lobby and then hop right back in to try again. doubt that'll be as convenient in the main game though.

That moment when my Switch went from 100% to 78% within the hour at half brightness (since it's dark and didn't want to burn my eyes out)

I thought it looked okay on my 55" 4k set. Not great but alright. I bet it's 900p.
I had a lot of fun, too. I onky ever saw two western names written in katakana.

What did you hate about it? Did you fiddle with sensitivity and turning motion control off?
I think I've read some tests saying brightness isn't even that big of a deal battery wise on this thing. Something like a 20% consumption difference between full and minimum brightness.

I murdered everyone in my first session, and just lost over 50% of my games in this last one. 100% Japanese players except for me in every single game (I'm in Australia).
The new supers all have serious downsides. I think I like splashdown the best because at least it has a little bit of 'backed into the corner' recovery and is also a great ending to a round to push your turf over the top.

Yeah, I tried both but still no joy. You are at a big disadvantage if you turn motion control off, and no sensitivity setting felt good. Glad so many people adore this series, but I've not got th patience to be one of them. Back to Overwatch for a competitive fix.
no problems with wifi and no problems with my 9€ ugreen usb 2.0 lan adapter.
I turned motion control off and won most of the games...often being first or second placed in my team.

Ah, I tried the motion controls again but it was WAYYYYY too high in sensitivity and didn't have the patience to try getting used to it or lowering the sensitivity. I'll probably play around with it when the full game comes out. I was doing decent/good because I was groggy, but could definitely notice that it was difficult to pull a 180 on someone after rolling with -2 sensitivity. I won't change the sensitivity because I prefer it for accuracy but I figured motion could've helped me there
That's a .52 Gal and a Blaster. The other middle one looks like a Pro and the other one is an inkbrush?
looks like one of the nozzlenoses and that's an octobrush
I forgot octobrushes were a thing. But if it's returning then the traditional inkbrush is pretty much guaranteed.

I dropped sensitivity to -3 for me (with the Pro controller). Was like night and day. I went from being a mess to being consistently first/second in my team.
pretty sure the developers have said all the weapons are returning

So now that the Testfires ended, is the community still playing Splatoon 1? I own it and liked it but I never had time for it when it came out and I thought it wasn't a good idea to start into the community late. GAF told me otherwise and I should have listened but yeah Splatoon 2 made me want to delve into Splatoon for real now.
You colored 1102 pts. You get a 1000 bonus after winning. Compared to your peers you seemed to focus more on actually painting territory than confronting the enemy team.
It just means you're getting good.
