I've been rewatching footage, and just realized that the Guardian arm (the shield with a face) has colored fins that go dark for every punch the opponent throws. That means that if you have multihit arms or just spam punches at it, you can knock down the shield
Details like this make my appreciate how much depth the game has.
>I work during every single one of the Test Punches
Nintendo's "one hour only" shit needs to fucking stop, you have a god damn "1 Player" option on your menu fucking taunting me
>>378002878
The Switch is portable
>>378002650
why does every new nitendo ip look like a generic childrens toy aimed at 3-5 year olds? All the old characters were unique, this is cookie-cutter shit. did all the talent grow old?
>>378002914
I work for a private company that handles government documents that pats us down and makes us leave electronics in lead coated lockers at the door. Can't even bring my 3DS in because it has cameras on it.
Not happening.
>>378003067
Man that blows. But you seriously work all weekends?
>>378003220
Not too much I'm allowed to say but during shitstorms, yes.
>>378003268
Do you shitpost for shariablue? Is that your job?
>>378003332
Fuck no. Myself and most of the office voted Trump. Some of the paperwork we handled recently is police reports, guess who gets arrested more than everyone else? For legitimate reasons? Das wayciss though.
Enough of that. Let me stew in my anger I have to either set an alarm for four in the morning or not play until launch.
>>378002650
So then do think heavy arms should break through easy and light arms willbhave more trouble.
>>378003591
The regular toaster from Springman knocked out 2 of the lights. I assume charged arms deal more damage but the best strategy will probably be to either spam punches or dodge.
>>378003456
Yeah? And how's that working out for you, huh? You voted yourself into waking up at 4 am.
>>378002878
It's a test for their servers, of course it's only an hour long.
>>378003814
>Ignoring the 1 Player part
>>378002978
>Cookie-cutter shit
>These characters
>>378003861
Why the fuck would they allow single player during a stress test?
>>378003962
Yeah there isn't going to be singleplayer, especially when it's essentially a story mode.
>>378003962
I don't know, why the fuck would they put single player into the test punch download?
Fucking Nintendo and their garbage demos, I'd rather go back to the fucking limited demo shit than deal with this.
>But people will play it forever and never get the real game!
>>378002978
Splatoon unironically has the best art direction of any Nintendo game ever.
>>378004081
What the fuck are you talking about? It's a stress test for their servers and players can play the game themselves to see what it's like.
>>378004179
Pick up your Switch and load the demo. There is an option for single player.
There is no excuse, literally zero, why they couldn't give you one or two characters and a bot to mess around with in this DEMO so that those of us who can't play the stress test can still try out the game.
You know, demos? Remember those?
>>378004265
Yeah, I don't remember those. Industry haven't used them in over a decade. Get over it.
>>378004446
>motherfuckers are on this website right fucking now defending this horseshit
IT'S OKAY WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT
REMEMBER WHEN SNIPPERCLIPS HAD A DEMO
I WOULD NEVER HAVE GIVEN THAT GAME THE FUCKING TIME OF DAY BUT I PLAYED THE DEMO
GUESS WHAT
I FUCKING BOUGHT IT
GEE WHAT A THOUGHT HUH

>>378004572
The whole industry doesn't use them, retard.
>>378004734
wow that's strange, look at this >>378004578
even stranger, there appears to be demos on the PSN store
golly, even on the Xbox store
call me crazy but the test punch ALSO appears to be some kind of demo YOU FUCKING COCK SUCKER.
>>378004865
A stress test isn't a demo, retard. Industry moved away from demos a long time ago. It simply took too much effort and in the end it lowered sales because people wouldn't buy your game. It sucks but I understand why companies don't do it.
>Going to miss the first session because of work.
I'm disappointed.
I'll be at home and enjoying every other session but the fact I'll miss out on that initial rush of excitement as it starts is disappointing.
>>378004265
>There is an option for single player.
That's an option to play 1v1 online.
The other option is for 2v2 online.
>>378004940
Less likely you'll run into server problems though. So rejoice!
Will the first testpunch hour be actually region locked to the US?
>>378005403
I'm pretty sure that's later on
>>378005403
No. Timezones just make it so the US the only place with a session on Friday.
