Rollers feel like I'm cheating. Lol

 

[GustyGardner]

Damn the roller is just as great as I remember. Dual guns are great too.

 

[RedFyn]

Ok, so quick question for veteran players: motion controls or no motion controls?

Stick with it and if you don't like it turn them off. You can also adjust the sensitivity to something you like

 

[duckroll]

Can confirm duckroll is neither kid nor squid. Octopus spy!

What.

 

[Robotguy]

Ok, so quick question for veteran players: motion controls or no motion controls?

Motion, though it took me a couple of hours to get the hang of.

 

[Rubixcuba]

Just played my first game.

What in the fuck.

Welcome to Splatoon, enjoy the stay <3

 

[AaronMT86]

Servers still up so far

 

[jorgejjvr]

Game is so much fun

Connection was good

 

[careksims]

Oh snaps! Last game! Went 9 - 0 and won the game!!!!

 

[JavyOO7]

Tabletop mode, split joy con with the right joy con acting as motion controls is so much fun, maggle!

 

[TheGoreMagala]

I was unable to play a single match. Couldn't get past the weapon selection screen.

 

[boneyjangles]

I lasted 45 minutes of getting destroyed by paint nuclear missiles, while maybe getting 2 kills accidentally with my paint pistol.

 

[Gowans]

Had a ok time, think I'll grab it cheap.

My 4 year old girl might want it sooner tho

 

[KHlover]

Meh, not going to bother trying to adjust my schedule to these measly hour time frames. Such a weird way to do it.

It's a server stress test. For that purpose cramming everyone into a one-hour timeframe is a pretty good way to do it.

 

[SgtWiggles]

Won my last game, suck it Orange Team. Rollers for life

 

[Rubixcuba]

After the hour mark, still in game!

 

[sammex]

Just found out pressing buttons and moving the sticks changes the music in the waiting for players lobby!

 

[Bullza2o]

Oh got another match in and it's past the hour.

 

[robotrock]

There is no good reason for the lack of mini game in between loading matches imo. would be great to bring that back

 

[JCH!]

I forgot how awesome this game was.

 

[alf717]

Welp thats it but it was real fun. Once I lowered motion sensitivity things got much better for me to handle.

 

[Amani]

I thoroughly enjoyed that! After the first few 20 minutes, everything ran rather smoothly. Getting used to opening the map with X is gonna take a bit of getting used to, but I don't think it's as egregious as people have been making it out to be.

Dual Splatlies are best waifu.

 

[Rezbit]

There is no good reason for the lack of mini game in between loading matches imo. would be great to bring that back

You can play with the music at least

 

[Draconian]

Maybe I'll make it one match without falling off the map.

 

[TheGoreMagala]

Error Code 2618-0201 the entire hour

 

[broncobuster]

Really fun but it could be my imagination or the motion controls are more sensitive than the Wii U. I had to frequently hit Y to recalibrate.

 

[Aarglefarg]

The right stuck was not responding in the first games I played with motion controls despite being on default sensitivity. I disabled motion controls since they seemed mutually exclusive but after reenabling motion controls the right stick worked. Maybe there is a bug since a few people have observed the right stick not aiming.

 

[Lren]

Roller ult kept making me feel like Lucio. Only instead of shields, it rained ink and death. Or a Titan in Destiny. Loved it!

 

[Warnen]

Think its only when you are picking your weapons

Yeah to bad time ran out. Ill try them tomorrow! Love the game other wise, got to get used to buttons again.

 

[Kureransu]

i waas at work so table top mode with joy con grip and motion controls on. had a blast. lost most, but it was nice to finish the last match with a win.

 

[Mediking]

TESTFIRE IS STILL ON! THIS RIDE CONTINUES!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Do the majority of people play with motion controls off? Or is it worth keeping it on? Is it better for aiming after some practice? I want to get better. I feel I suck. Lol.

Majority actual display with motion controls on, ninten do even researched into it and found this out, that's why they made sure to to say every control method has gyro controls

 

[Needham]

The dualies have such awful aim if you aren't rolling around and you can't jump while shooting, but you can open the map and close it all you want (I keep pushing X to jump). That fire hose special on the charger feels pretty useless too, unless your opponent just sits there for you. Takes a bajillion hits from the things to splat someone.

I got to be invincible one match. I thought there was just one really laggy roller, but nope, no one on the other team could kill me. I had three of them shooting me while I just stood there and watched.

 

[RampagingSoul]

I got a few games in. Only had one connection problem. I had to get used to the motion/gyro controls for a match, but I got used to it quickly. It's definitely Splatoon alright. I got to try the Splat Dualies and I liked them.

 

[octopiggy]

One more???

 

[RRockman]

It's over....


I need this in my life.

 

[psyfi]

I don't like the game at all so far, but I'll keep playing. I'm hoping it'll click later, I was really looking forward to it.

 

[ar4757]

Well they were right on schedule lol

Didn't played the first game as I never had a Wii U. Frustrating at first, not because I felt like I was getting rekt but rather I felt like I was doing decent until the map at the end reveals how badly we sucked.

Finally won a couple matches though and got some good KD ratio action (6/1 on our first win). Are the dualies the only new weapon in the beta compared to the first game? That long distance harpoon-like gun is a weird one

 

[Vampirolol]

They made me like the roller this time. Dual weapon is cool, but I don't think I will ever drop the Splasher.
By the way, fun as always.

 

[Tempy]

2 dropped connections, but other than that it was smooth sailing. Got creamed by Japanese players though.

 

[Sterok]

Won all but 2 of my matches. Aside from a couple times where I sat in the lobby a few minutes too long I had no issues whatsoever. Wifi is perfectly good still. Generally dominated matches, and the dualies dodge is great in a pinch. Make sure not to fly off the stage when using the jetpack though. Next Testfire can't come soon enough.

 

[random25]

Well it's over. Good matches, Japanese folks.

32% battery drain in 1 hour...pretty good.

 

[i HeaR MusiC]

Just found a match.. test still going strong!

 

[Mafro]

Somehow managed to go that hour without being on the losing team. Those new dual-wield weapons are really cool.

 

[Lichter]

Error Code 2618-0201 the entire hour

Same. But with hotspot wifi from my phone I was able to play a few games.

 

[Lucifon]

I don't like the game at all so far, but I'll keep playing. I'm hoping it'll click later, I was really looking forward to it.

Playing with motion or sticks?

 

[Vena]

What.

Reference to the first game, but I guess my joke fell flat. X_X

 

[Rodin]

Motion controls are awful

Please tell me how you're gonna play Splatoon decently without them

By the way 0 disconnessions for me in 6 games

 

[XaosWolf]

And thats one testfire down! =D

Game looks and plays great and it wonderful to see all the new players figuring stuff out!

I had a single disconnect but the rest was solid even on 1 bar of wifi.

 

[Mr Swine]

Well now I need to buy this, damn you Nintendo and Neogaf! *shakes fist*
