Not really feeling the motion controls, its harder to jump/dash, which seem crucial to win. I wish you could play dual joycon but without motion controls (can't use grip cause I have these guard things for the joycons, hassle to put on/remove)

Like others have said, I enjoyed 1 v 1, but the other modes not so much

 

[AColdDay]

Played it tonight and it was a ton of fun. Definitely going to play it again when it comes out.

 

[VeryGooster]

So far my quick 20-minute impressions with the Pro controller and handheld: it feels good to play, but I want to change the button layout so bad.

 

[Rodin]

Just won a 2vs2 with 4 Ribbon Girl lol

But in case anyone is wondering for some reason, Min Min is GOAT.

 

[Kebiinu]

I'm having a great fucking time.

 

[MazeHaze]

How does it feel? is it too subtle for half the people to notice?

I didnt notice it.

 

[mullet2000]

1v1 is a blast

2V2 is a clusterfuck.

Thery're going to let you choose what mode you want to play in the full release....right? Please say yes.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Ice laser is dumb as heck lol

Game reminds me of Gundam VS in a sense with how heavily you can punish landings

 

[jmizzal]

Aww yea

 

[trixx]

I remember people back then said Splatoon was shallow. Look what we got at the end lol

I think most people enjoyed enjoyed the Splatoon testfire enough to pick it up and play more

This game has way more content but to me it's going to be pretty polarizing.

1v1 is pretty fun imo. Other than that ehh

 

[jwk94]

This game needs a way to aim with the motion controls. Those matches where you're going up against more than one person are way too hard without a proper way to keep track of everyone.

 

[Stairouais]

I feel like this is shallow and should have been a pack in game.

[Cyanity]

Jumped for joy after winning a round and accidentally punched out one of my ceiling lights. Currently picking shards of glass out of my hand

 

[Subterranean]

The motion controls take some getting use to for movement/blocking but I am really enjoying this. I also tried the pro controller and that worked well.

Might be a day one for me.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

It started to click when I started playing like a boxing game and not a fighting game.

 

[Magnet_Man]

You can also change targets with X

 

[sanstesy]

Honestly these are some of the most complex motion controls ever for a game. People who don't like them in other games will hate them here.

 

[Starphoenix]

Can't stand the robot chick. But I looooove ninja guy!

 

[dezzy8]

This game is the fucking GOAT. The motion controls clicked instantly and it is so fun.
Every character is equally fun. It feels so good dodging punches and countering.

 

[lt519]

How do you change focus in a 1v1v1?

 

[R0ckman]

Played for 20 minutes, a damn ton of fun. No regrets on the preorder. Can't wait for June 16th. 2 vs 2 is really fun, as well as free for alls.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

So, how are traditional controls? Is blocking with the left stick an issue?

 

[Serenitynow]

Dang just realized you can spike the volleyball by doing a throw on it and then a punch

 

[Thezez]

Played 30 or so rounds, game is not for me. Doesn't feel like you're really in control of the character.

 

[MatthewB92]

Got out of work late and missed this

 

[titiklabingapat]

Just pre-ordered this game.

This a lot more fun than i thought.

I am having WAY too much success in the 3 and 4 person matches by just hiding in a corner and letting everyone else chip each others health down

This is me. But I'm pretty good at sniping at the person who is getting hammered. Lol

 

[Rarius]

Just had a round where blocking just didn't work. Great.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

Is this a meme I'm not aware of?

No, but being dismissive toward someone who doesn't agree with you is.

 

[Nephix]

Ended up winning most my matches playing Min Min with two of those spinning boomerang-ish things.
Crazy how responsive and intuitive the motion controls are once you get a hang of it. 1v1v1 is pretty damn awful though.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

So, how are traditional controls? Is blocking with the left stick an issue?

I like them a lot having mostly played in solo mode, but blocking does feel kind of hard for me so I just dodge a lot.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

So, how are traditional controls?

Really good once you realize you can use the shoulder buttons to punch.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I can't wait for this game to drop. Is there a way to use standard controls?

 

[R0ckman]

How do you change focus in a 1v1v1?

Right stick on pro, I had problems with this too. Got melted trying to figure it out.

 

[whyreggielie]

Dominated with Mechanica. Fun game, really cant get used to motion so I switched out as soon as I figured out I could and started doing great.

 

[Raging Spaniard]

3v3 fights are preeetty shitty

Loving the rest though

 

[essenn]

Definitely using the joycon grip tomorrow, motion controls are so bad in this.

 

[VariantX]

Opponent just disconnected from server, the game just gives the connected player the win

 

[SenkiDala]

3 for all are no fun

It's fun when I win. But otherwise I agree.

 

[Haines]

I need to wrap my head around the strengths of different arms and how to utilize them

Holding dash charges your arm.

 

[PAULINK]

this game sucks

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Game is good as soon as you turn off motion controls. Like really good.

 

[DecoReturns]

So, how are traditional controls?

Fine. Except tilting punches, that's awkward. Basically throw a punch and move the Left Analog stick. So at times your moving and tilting at the same time and messes you up

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Welp, thanks for not connecting to my wifi when I've not had an issue since launch Switch.

 

[Gaiaknight]

How does it feel? is it too subtle for half the people to notice?

Feels fantastic especially when doing a super attack.

 

[Padinn]

My wife said she thought it was okay. Then she 1v1 someone, didn't get hit once, and was grinning. She kicked ass lol.

 

[Boss Doggie]

why are people assuming the game only has 2v2 or more than 2 people fighting lmao

it's like they forgot the whole test fights before

 

[NEO0MJ]

Had some good fun, but man controlling Helix seems to be a pain. He's not very straightforward at all. That's the point, I know, but still.

 

[Zalman]

The game is perfectly playable with traditional controls. I'm a little surprised by how much they downplayed them.

 

[Technosteve]

pro-controller is just me spaming buttons. not as fun as motion controls. 1 vs 1 is a lot of fun with motion controls.

 

[SenkiDala]

Dominated with Mechanica. Fun game, really cant get used to motion so I switched out as soon as I figured out I could and started doing great.

Yeah... I wouldn't say it's unplayable with motion controls, but... It's not great at all, it's slow, clunky and all.
