Gonna have to try that out later.

So is Spla2n a day one must buy? Or is it just good and I can wait until Splatoon is completely dead before buying a Switch and Spla2n?
>>
>>172033184
Every oob clip makes me wish for a more freeform single player / bigger hub. Finding paths to the levels in the overworld was one of the best parts of the campaign for me.

Do you really want to miss the Splatfests?

Friends with Octolings!
>>
>>172033184
Well. The testfires are held for reasons. Finding this kind of thing being one of them.
>>
>>172034527
If you're able to, might as well get out day one to be part of everything. It really is more fun when everyone's playing. If you don't have a switch then wait and see if a Splatoon bundle and/or limited edition something is released.
>>
I am loving the Testfire. But I just realized that I've been so caught up with it that I completely forgot about my Shadowverse and Fire Emblem Heroes dailies.
I am fucked now.

Check your Wal-Marts. They were sold out everywhere about a week ago, including locally, except one single wal-mart about 20 miles from me that had EIGHT in stock. Some store will have them.

It is the best controller available right now.

Does the jetpack lay down ink as you go? If it does that'll be pretty handy for rm pushes.

Got probably one of the last pro controllers in Brussels, this shit is sold out everywhere around here.

Maybe a little tighter, but mostly about the same to me. I think they just feel a little better because the pro controller is smaller than the gamepad.
Dunno how joycons are.
>>
>>172046056
How about how you can't aim sideways with it?
>>
>>172046450
If that's true then I didn't even notice.
>>
>>172046802
iirc you can only tilt up or down, not sideways this time around.

i don't have a switch yet and I don't want to miss out on the global testfire. How long is it going to be up?
>>
>>172046910
Seriously? That seems like a pretty weird control choice. No wonder it didn't work out when I physically turned a little to try and shoot someone behind me.
>>
>>172046910
I always had trouble aiming left or right with gamepad gyro anyway, almost always used the stick, so I suppose I really wouldn't be someone who would be bothered by that.
I did up the right stick sensitivity though.

maybe lower the sensitivity? Also make sure you're not overextending into enemy ink, so you can maneuver and escape if need be?

If you haven't played the first game you probably just need to learn how the game works, it's kinda unique

>>172052519
Honestly man I want to get good at using gyro but the concept of "it fucks up a lot so just get used to it and correct it" doesn't appeal to me much. I guess I should use Y more. I just adjusted the sensitivity and it seems slightly better. Any tips?

It doesn't fuck up a lot, it's just though to adapt

To be honest, I don't even see that - I played a lot of Splatoon, and I just now started playing 2 with a pro controller and it feels pretty natural and faster.

It's just a bit odd to see everyone saying gyro is better when I consistently hit 900s with analog and 600s with gyro. Then again, never really used gyro, so I'll just force myself to get used to it on pro controller. Every match is a little bit better, but I still struggle with it.

Don't run at people, focus on covering ground and surprising people. Jump + splash = thin long range that, I believe, instakills.

>Splat Charger
>Worst

Say that to my face. I've been maining Splat Charger since the original Testfire. E-Liters are too immobile and require specialized gear setups to be properly effective and don't have good ink coverage ability. Squiffers and whatnot are strong but require perfect execution and lack the ability to throw ink long distances like longer ranged chargers.

Splat Charger is the perfect middle ground.

entirely because competitive players are narrowminded and allow metas to develop without ever experimenting or anything else.

It has more trouble fitting on a team. Splatlings and Dynamo do its inking job better, 3-4-liners are more aggressive, Eliter is like a perma-special on itself, and SC is just... There. It does everything decently, but it has a much bigger chance of being redundant than either Eliter or Squiffer.

That might be where my playstyle shifts things in my favor. I play a very mobile and active game. I abuse every element of my gun.

E-Liter is best when all you want to do is be a turret. Squiffer is best if you want to be upclose and personal at all times. Splat Charger is for everything else.

>he thinks that getting to S+ with said weapon means that weapon is good

People have reached S+ using Custom Jr, arguably the WORST weapon in the entire game. Ranked is not an accurate means of gauging a weapons efficiency in competition.

That's not to say Splat Chargers aren't viable in competitive, it just means that they're at an inherent disadvantage when pitted against Splatterscopes or E-litres due to the decreased range in high level play.

People DO experiment, that's how we've neared the conclusion of Splatoon 1's meta (it being quick respawn and stealth jump).

Can we agree to disagree and drop this meaningless debate?

I'm not interested in squabbling over nonsense, you're talking about casual play (ranked), i'm talking about competitive play, those are two entirely different things.

Every little advantage helps in competitive, and can determine whether you win a game or not, hence the endeavour to optimise everything we can, even if it means the smallest of advantages over the opponent.

>>172058413
You're not listening at all. Splatterscope is outright inferior. There's maybe 5 maps in the whole game with maybe 2 spots on those maps where it's extra range gets you an advantage. Every other time, you could just position better.

Enjoy going blind every time you charge just so you can nail a particular vantage to vantage shot.

It really isn't such a big problem, I don't know why you think it is. You can hear anyone within ten feet of you, and unless you literally didn't notice a squid hiding in the ink right in front of you, the scope isn't going to block your sight of anyone for long enough for them to hurt you. It's pretty easy to be aware of roughly where everyone on the opposing team is.

You can miss grenades and super jumps as well as other visual cues.

It would be worth it if the gain in range was more significant, but it's not. If you want range, use an E-liter. Splatterscope is just a shitty SC.

You can hear grenades and super jump markers, and even with full qsj it takes longer for an enemy to land that a charged shot. It's okay to just not like what the scope does, it doesn't have to be some big tactical thing.

Hey all, Never owned a nintendo console here, Picked up a switch as an impulse buy due to a bonus from work, just finished my second testfire.

Holy fucking shit, this is the literally the funnest game ive ever played. The movement is so fucking crisp, the FPS is buttery smooth, The specials are fun as fun. Honest to god this game is perfect.

I cannot fucking BELIEVE more people have not tried this game, nintendo needs to get the word out, holy fuck. I dont even think i can go play overwatch now because splatoon is so fucking fast, its like the melee of shooters.

How are you supposed to fight back on the "sports" themed stage when the enemy team has the entirety of the middle of the stage inked?

You literally have to walk across the shitty mesh part making yourself completely visible and vulnerable, and you know there are somewhere between 3 and 20 enemy squids invisible on the platform all ready to pop up and fuck you before you can even react. Also you have to do it solo because your teammates are all dead or off trying to paint walls or some shit.

Sounds like you have shit map awareness and that's something you need to fix

Look at the areas that are painted on the map, you know the enemies are likely near mid or wherever the most of their paint color is, wait for you teammats to get into fights while you circle up around the side paths, cut off the paint behind the enemy then roll over them.

Imaging you're in TF2 and you're playing spy, only you're not invisible.

>>172096415
I can't tell if you're being serious or not. I guess I agree, though. I've never liked the shooter genre but I love Splatoon more than any game I've ever played in my life. >>172096662
wait for teammates to respawn might be a good idea. If this was the full game, I'd also say to put on run speed gear.
>>172096676
I hunch over and put my elbows on my knees. it's probably not the healthiest position, but it works. putting your elbows on your hips might also work, but I haven't tried it. overall, I think the key it to brace your elbows like you're throwing pottery on the wheel.

I think anon's making an assumption about the full game since Miiverse doesn't exist on the Switch. That said, I'm pretty sure in an interview the developers said they would like to implement their own Miiverse post like system just for Splatoon 2. I don't know how they expect to moderate it, though.

Good luck when rank comes out.

>>172100795
The stick aiming is complete shit

There are ways to do shooter aiming with a console controller well, the best example of this I know is Destiny, aiming in that game feels accurate and responsive, you can get headshots, it feels good to play. It's mainly to do with the acceleration curve they've got, combined with a slight amount of autoaim, results in the bullets going where you want them to go.

Another popular console game is GTAV, which does not have a well set up aim acceleration curve. Play these two games side by side and you'll experience the difference. Aiming in GTAV is a clusterfuck, which is why almost everybody who plays it uses the lock on system.

Splatoon manages to make analogue stick aiming even worse then GTAV, it's completely impossible to have both a reasonable turn rate and be able to make small adjustments necessary for precision.

So, gyro controls are really the only way to go.
>>
>>172096415
Glad to have you as a part of the community!
>>
>>172101143
this is correct. i don't even play shooters to know that the stick controls in Splatoon feel... bad. They're really only there to compliment the gyro.
>>
>Tasheenka
Is this one of you
>>
>>172096415
>its like the melee of shooters.

hey, thats actually kinda true

splatoon and smash shared tourneys would be kinda cool

Another way to get out of bounds. Seems easier than the dodge roll one.

I think ARMS would have more synergy with Splatoon than Smash, given that the main gameplay of both is glorified as a sport both in-universe and out.

The fact that the specials are so bad is really concerning because many weapons in the original were only viable because they had good synergy between their main weapon, sub, and special. I can't really see any weapon having any kind of synergy with their specials since the specials are virtually useless now. I also don't like the fact that all specials put you into some kind of special state where you can't use your normal weapon, this also has the side effect of making them feel more generic.
>>
>>172110957
But there were only 2 in Splatoon 1 that let you use your normal gun throughout it, the bubbler and echolocater? Your making it sound like all of them did that.
The kraken and inkzooker had long uses and were pretty much a special state as well.
I'm really not seeing how the 4 specials we've seen are better or worse then the ones from Splatoon 1, and they're far from useless.
>>
>>172110957
yeah, you have a good point. I think it's worth it, though. i think that it'll promote weapon variety in the long run, though, if all the specials are "so bad" (I use quotes because I haven't actually played myself). In Splatoon 1, nobody used the normal range blaster because the custom had kraken. nobody used custom jr because the standard had bubbler. etc. there'll be less objectively better weapon loadouts.

i hope we get some less offensive specials and subs, personally. i want echo and point sensors and beakons!
>>
>>172111351
you could also use your sub weapon with inkzooka, immensely useful with the carbon's burst bombs for moving around.

Okay, I'm starting to get used to the dualies. They're very good for stalking and assassinating. Once you figure out the roll, you'll win every firefight. It's a weapon that you have to dedicate yourself to, though. Once you condition yourself to fight with dualies, it's sort of jarring to go back to another weapon, since you're expecting to have roll.

It definitely needs a better special. The inkjet is bad. Can't wait to try one with a different loadout.

Late May/early June at the earliest.

I have a feeling they might go for 28th/29th of May, since that's when the original came out. But that isn't quite summer 2017 like they said and I'm sure they want to to show things off for E3. Maybe 28th/29th of June.
>>
>>172130376
Each time I look at them, I think "man, those are going to be tasty treats for my H3". Bait them into rolling, unload a burst squarely into their face as they can't do anything now.

OW and this bith rely heavily on your teammates not being fucking morons, but this also has a much faster pace to it, and individual performance matters more. When your teammates blow, you notice and jt is awful, but you don't have OW's ambiguity on your own performance. When you aren't doing well, you can't just blame the team like in OW.

So if literally ANYONE on your team is doing poorly, it is terribly frustrating.

so we know there are 6 specials in the game
the 4 we saw on the testfire plus the the ink cloud
and the new bomb rush special from the trailer, as far i remember nintendo said that splatoon 2 was gonna have even more specials than the first game, i just hope nintendo doesnt bring something kraken/bubbler tier

also Quick respawn got nerfed on sploon 2

It's the exact same, what is your source? Respawn time in the testfire with one main of QR is the same as Splatoon, ~7.29 seconds. Unless the base time is no longer 8.5 s, no change.

>>
>>172168392
Because /v/ needs to try really fucking hard to make the games seem worse then they are. I get the feeling the excitement for the testfire threads has probably got to do with the fact that we were so fucking surprised at how amazing the game was when we finally got to play it.

The first testfire threads probably had a higher proportion of people who were just there because they were suddenly hype about a game they'd not been paying attention to, I know that's why I was there. There was also a fresh meme seam for the peanut gallery and not too many salty nay sayers yet.

I've seen a handful of people in the recent threads saying they missed Splatoon 1 and being amazed at how fun it was, but they were mostly drowned out by standard /v/ infighting.
>>
Is Splatoon ded now that Spla2n is almost around the corner? Haven't touched my Wii U in months and I got nostalgic

>>172170472
I just played yesterday. it's brimming with japs like it always was.
>>
>>172170002
I really don't know where the "Splatoon multiplayer is dead" meme came from. It was active for almost its entire lifecycle and it was just as alive when I traded my Wii U in for the Switch discount a few months ago.
>>172170472
I'm sure theres still hundreds of middle aged smoking Japanese neets playing Splatoon right now anon, you'll find a game.

I doubt it. Ain't no party like a nip gamer party because a nip gamer party continues with grim determination for a minimum of one decade.

>>172170472
It was fine when I last played a week ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the Splatoon 2 testfire managed to squeeze in a few extra sales for the original, too. I don't think that game is going anywhere until Nintendo shutsdown the servers.

My same reaction.
I played splatoon religiously when it first came out though.
Was hype to try it out at the switch preview thing but when I did I just felt "meh". Plays pretty much exactly the same, why buy a whole new console for it?
I was prepared to not buy the thing for a year or two, but now all the test fire hype has got me stalking in-stock trackers.
>>
From what I hear, (this is just a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt) supposedly a restructuring with the Switch release schedule is happening. From my understanding, they wanted to add more to Arms and give it a bit extra polish, so they pushed it back slightly. It was originally supposed to come out shortly after Zelda. Either May or June. Mario Kart 8 got pushed up because it's just a port with extra content. They could have dropped Mario Kart 8 at any point, because it was already done prior to its reveal, they just wanted to wait until such a time when nothing big was coming out, there was a dry spell between March and May, so April. Supposedly Splatoon 2 might get pushed up to May as well, because they're basically already done with it, the testfires are just to stress test the servers. It wasn't very difficult for them to develop Splatoon 2, because the dev team didn't have to build it from the ground up. So if Arms comes out in May, then Splatoon 2 is in June, but if Arms got pushed to June, then Splatoon 2 is May.

Again, don't take any of this as fact or blow your hopes up.

>I get the feeling the excitement for the testfire threads has probably got to do with the fact that we were so fucking surprised at how amazing the game was when we finally got to play it.
I remember when so much people from /v/ referred to Splatoon as the "average shooter Nintendo game", implying it's kiddy and babyish. Once the testfire threads were created and posted constantly, I have seen some /v/ posters saying how they were not believing at how they are having fun for the first time ever, since the last time they were entertained, which was years ago, by the way.

Not only I was aswell amazed at how great was Splatoon, I also really laughed at all theses people who said (aka wanted to) Splatoon would fail and be a flop.

Good times. To this day, I still wonder if that anon has eaten his bag of dicks and crows yet.

I was in the /v/ testfire threads, they were really comfy and I got tons of friend codes.

that would be a dream come true. hopefully it's true. I'm gonna keep telling myself that it's coming out in August, though, so I'm not disappointed.

I do hope it comes out in May again because that is just in time for my birthday and I don't have to spend my money on it if it comes out then but I expect it in June or July honestly.

>>172172637
Basically if you didnt preorder it you couldn't get one, in the us at least. It took a canceled preorder on 3/2 and me waiting 9 hours in a game stop to get my switch, meanwhile none of my friends can get one till they fully restock.

It gives them way too much spread, consider the fact that within a certain point, all rollers flick's are instant kill.

My problem with rollers is people, particularly carbons would just use it as a melee weapon, put a bunch of runspeed up on and just sprint around slapping you with it because the width was unmatched by any other weapon besides blasters I guess.

I'd be okay with letting the rollers have their stupid long range instant kill back if they had to shrink their horizontal reach.

>>172174980
I'm kinda okay with it being a melee weapon given the new guarantee that they have to be within melee range themselves. Speaking as a charger main that mostly gets killed by the carbon bomb-flick combo, it fills a niche.

>>172174980
Horizontal flick wass totally fine except maybe Dynamo after they nerfed the kill zone on all of them.
Complaining about them before that was more valid I think.

>>172176376
It would have a shitty vertical flick compared to the other rollers. Conversely, inkbrushes would have a really long-range one.

do you think they've come up with new abilities? I can't even imagine what they could add, but I'm sure there's something that I'm not thinking of.

>>172176376
I bet they've nerfed its normal swing even more now. i expect it's vertical swing to be closer to its old swing.

What if brushes now have a jump slash like Link's that OHKs in the width of the brush bristles?
>>
>>172174692
I was really having trouble with the vertical flick throughout every testfire. It felt like the roller lost a lot of its ink-spreading power, though its killing power felt a lot more defined.
>>
>>172176864
A new ability where if you get shot by an inkling of the opposite sex, they'll be temporarily unable to continue firing their weapons.

As a brush user, I would be ecstatic. A brush that could OHKO in any way would be totally OP, no matter how thin the range was (I mean, look at Carbons). I was imagining more of an instant long path of ink, although still weak. Would be handy for mobility and to poke people with.

>do you think they've come up with new abilities? I can't even imagine what they could add, but I'm sure there's something that I'm not thinking of.
Here's some OC DONUT STEAL abilities I came up with over a year ago:

Thunderbolt (Shoes)
>after super jumping, any enemy inklings within a radius of the location you land at will be instantly splatted
>the time you take to superjump will increase and your spawn marker will flash rapidly to indicate that you have this ability

Camoflauge (Body)
>allows the ability to turn into a squid in enemy ink on the ground, but you cannot swim in enemy ink
>you can "drown" in enemy ink after a period of time

Bullseye Marker (Hat)
>adds auto-aim at the cost of reducing the damage you inflict by half
>>
>>172177467
>Thunderbolt
Isn't this free Splashdown almost?

>Bullseye
pls no
>>
>>172177746
I thought of it before Splashdown existed, therefore I get credit for it. :^)

Infiltrate (Shoes)
>allows superjumping to visible enemies
>if you do so, you are unable to move after landing for 1.5 seconds

Takedown (Body)
>if you get splatted, you will be splatted with your own team's color
>if the enemy team is within your splat death radius, they get instantly splatted
>your respawn time will be significantly increased

Defective Bombs (Hat)
>all timer based bombs (splat bombs, suction bombs, ink mines) you use do not make a signal when about to explode
>these same bombs take longer to explode
>>
>>172176864
I would like a haunt like ability called revenge that disrupts the person who kills you instead of tracking them.
or a special that's a reskined killer wail that disrupts enemies by spooking them instead of killing them
>>
>>172177992
Already OC DONUT STOLE that one:

Curse (Body)
>enemy Inklings that splat you gets affected by Disruptor effect
