Oh man accidentally rolling over people with the roller is hilarious

 

[RobbieNick]

I played just fine with split joycons, just had to alter the gyro sensitivity to get used to them.



The Testfire is a servers stress test. This is exactly the problem they're trying to look for.

I guess, but it's much worse than the original testfire two years ago. I didn't have near as many drop outs.

 

[DKL]

Had a 18K3D guy in the opposite team, what the fuck

I've managed to go 16/0 but lost because someone on my team drop lol

 

[Dimentios]

Trying to jump with X all the time.
Damn you Zelda.

Mine was like that so I reset the switch and straight in.

Just testing servers. You can only change weapons by leaving the lobby.

Does this mean you can't play with friends in this test? I'll play regardless, just curious.

 

[BitStyle]

Dualies are so much fun

"Unable to connect to the other user's console"

Goddammit. This happens with Fast RMX as well so it's a system issue instead of a game one. Any potential fixes?

EDIT: To clarify, this is blocking me from even getting into a game.

 

[psyfi]

I keep getting roller'd.

 

[Ninja Dom]

I had about three disconnects.

 

[brickarts295]

Played 5 matches.
Portable Mode (1 match): It's alright, still trying the proper way to hold a switch. Plus it is a bit a annoying that the motion controls are only up and down. Meaning you have move your entire switch up and down while simultaneous moving the right stick left and right.

Pro Controller (2 matches): Probably the best one. I'm more accurate with this one. Once again I'm trying to get the hand of the motions.

JoyCons (2 matches): Pretty good. Motions feel best here. But I often forget to use the right stick because I'm thinking that I'm holding Wiimote XD

Not bad so far. Always ended up first on my team, mostly because the other team had a pair of rollers. Loss 4 Won 1. Game looks exactly the same as the Wii U version. The music/songs are pretty good. But man screw these rollers XD

Oh yeah turning off the Switch and turning it on again fixed internet issues I had.

 

[Spiritreaver]

If you're having connection issues try restarting your Switch. I had zero connection issues after that. Flawless so far.

 

[ChrisD]

Awww first loss. I actually really like the losing theme though, haha. Actually kind of prefer it over winning. Not that I want to see the Lose screen more than Win, mind you.

 

[RootCause]

4matches no disconnect.

 

[joker3782]

Tried out all the weapons. Splat dualies may be my favourite

 

[13ruce]

Oh man accidentally rolling over people with the roller is hilarious

My favorite weapon also can make your team win in the last 10 secs due to huge amounts of ink it produces.

 

[Okami Haundo]

I lost a bunch of games back to back, but finally found my groove when I disabled motion controls. For some reason motion felt smoother, but just didn't work for me in handheld mode. Will have to try both options out with my Pro Controller tonight at the 11PM EST session.

In the meantime, this game is as fun as ever! Silky smooth for me while in a game, only had a few disconnects when selecting a weapon. Really surprised at how well it all works! Can we just have the full game now?

 

[robotrock]

Also these pointer controls from the joycons on the map are really good? idk how it works but it seems like magic

 

[ashbash159]

Haven't been counting. But I've had a lot of fun with this and non-stop play! No issues at so far. I like the dual things.

 

[wild wild rice]

I keep getting roller'd.

Everyone thought rollers were OP in the first game, but you quickly learn how to deal with them.

 

[Kouichi]

I loooooove the Dualies

 

[JavyOO7]

Does this mean you can't play with friends in this test? I'll play regardless, just curious.

Nope. Queues you with random peeps all over the world

 

[evanmisha]

Just went 12-1 k/d and lost with still over 1000 points in my own. Geeez

 

[Lockless]

How do I store charges for the sniper?

 

[Nairume]

I guess, but it's much worse than the original testfire two years ago. I didn't have near as many drop outs.

I seem to remember that the first test session slot was such a disaster with bad connections that they extended it for an extra hour so people could actually get to play.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Music continues to be on point, btw.

 

[tolkir]

Putting jump on b here and x in Zelda was stupid of them

I have jump on b in Zelda.

Spoiler

I know, I changed it.

 

[LotusHD]

So this is why people love Splatoon...

 

[codemonkey]

If you rotate the joysticks on the loading and match finding screens, it alters the pitch and tone of the music.

Yeah I'm loving this. Also pretty into the game in general to be honest. Skipped the game on the Wii U, but just playing this for 45 minutes now I'm pretty sure I'll be needing this in my life when it comes out. Also gyro controls 4 lyfe.

 

[wild wild rice]

Music continues to be on point, btw.

This is crucial.

 

[random25]

Fuck we got demolished real hard. Japan has never lost a beat.

 

[Discokuningas]

This has been working absolutely flawless for me so far!

 

[RichiRamjag]

After this beta is over I'm driving over to my storage unit and grabbing my Wii U to play Splatoon again

I'm about to hook up my Wii U and go buy another copy haha

 

[SilentRage47]

Rebooted my switch, played 2 match fine and now the game gives me network error, also the eshop doesn't work anymore ffs

 

[Mediking]

Splat Roller has the hypest special!

 

[Outtrigger888]

Just went 12-1 k/d and lost with still over 1000 points in my own. Geeez

K/D ratio doesn't matter in splatoon it's all about covering that ground. Unless they changed somthing for the sequel.

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

This is so intense


I really hope this game launches before August...

 

[LAA]

Tried like 6 matches. Liked it, had fun.
Annoyingly though for me... Why do they disable the right stick when motions controls are on? I would like to tweak my aim/camera with both motion/joy stick and I don't want motion fully off either as I feel I play way better with it on.

 

[valinthyne]

dunno if anyone mentioned it but play with your control sticks while waiting for players

 

[ToysAndMoreClub]

I guess, but it's much worse than the original testfire two years ago. I didn't have near as many drop outs.

The original testfire didn't start for an hour or so because they kept having server issues. So everyone was waiting for over an hour until they were able to start playing it.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

I seem to remember that the first test session slot was such a disaster with bad connections that they extended it for an extra hour so people could actually get to play.

That is correct, I couldn't get in for more than 30 minutes.

Splatoon 2 |OT| How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Gyro

 

[RobbieNick]

Mine was like that so I reset the switch and straight in.

That didn't help me. I have two out of three bars on internet.

 

[OverturePT]

Had no problems up until now, it's pretty smooth. I can't aim for shit though.

 

[AaronMT86]

Game looks much better undocked

 

[Incitemaybe]

This has been working absolutely flawless for me so far!

Same here, I'm getting used to jump being on B and not X haha

 

[unrealist]

Is it me or most of these Japanese are god like?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

got damnit why do I have work!

 

[Ascenion]

Just went 12-1 k/d and lost with still over 1000 points in my own. Geeez

You've missed the point.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

This might be a stupid question but how do you run in this game with the switch controls?

Press ZL to go into squid form which gives you a speed boost... but you can only swim in paint of your own color.
