I figured out a way to be able to play the practice/warm-up mode even when the testpunch is down, or it ends.

You need to set up a proxy to make your Switch's connection really slow, so that when the testpunch tries to connect to the server, it never gets a response back. While it's connecting, you have full access to the multiplayer lobby, and can freely change characters and use the warm-up option.

You can use any proxy software that has the ability to throttle connections, but because the server response is only a few hundred bytes, it's best if you use one that you can limit to as low as 1 byte per second. Fiddler can't do this. I used a program called crapify which does a pretty good job at throttling the connection.

The setup might look a bit complex, but follow along:
- Install node.js: https://nodejs.org/en/
- Install crapify: open command prompt and run: npm install crapify -g
- Run the proxy server, with a 1B/s limit: crapify start --port=8888 --speed=1--concurrency=999999
- Find out your local IP address using ipconfig/ifconfig
- Configure your Switch to use the proxy (don't do a connection test)

And there you have it, you should be able to access the lobby in the testpunch. The only problem is that you will get kicked out every 2-3 minutes, because the Switch connection test times out. I haven't found any other proxy servers that let you limit speed by hostname, so if anyone knows any, your sessions would probably last a bit longer if you only limited the ARMS game server.

Can we not use this to play online?
>>
>>378217581
No, the servers are down. This stops you from [successfully] connecting to the servers, so that you can stay in the lobby.
>>
Sweet, I'll try this out

>tfw tech-illiterate
I don't know how to do any of this shit.
>>
>>378218000
It's pretty straightforward, anon. What don't you understand?
>>
>>378218104
Installing Node.js I get, but how do I open command prompt?
>>
>>378218362
Press Win+R, type cmd, press enter
Then just paste the commands by right-clicking.
>>
holy shit this actually works
you are a saint op
>>
does it work for 2 players?
>>
>>378218864
I tried and yeah, the warm-up is split-screen for 2p
>>
It worked for 10 minutes and now it's giving me a connection error as soon as I select a character. It's not the connection test error I usually got either
>>
>>378217238
Works for me, thanks
>>
>>378219148
Look at the command prompt where you ran the proxy. Every time you go into Party Match you should see at least one line that has http://conntest.nintendowifi.net/ in it. If you don't, do this:
- Turn off the proxy by pressing ctrl+c repeatedly until you get back to the prompt
- Restart the Switch, open testpunch
- Turn the proxy back on and enter Party Match

It should now work again.
>>
>>378219506
That fixed it, thank you!
>>
will this cause my access to online services to be restricted by nintendo

I never expected this to actually work, damn.

Now do the same for the Splatoon 2 Testfire.

i don't know what any of this means
>>
>>378220172
You mean for the tutorial area? Even if that was possible, what's the point?
>>
>>378220295
It means you no longer have to spend $70 on the full game since you can play the demo with yourself forever.
>>
>>378220295
this desu
>>
>>378217238
damn, thanks. need to practice my traditional controls before the next one
>>
please rewrite the op but a bit more in-depth for people with no brains like myself
>>
Why didn't they just let you do this normally?
>>
>>378220950
1. Download and install node.js, this shouldn't need explaining
2. Open command prompt (press windows+R, type cmd)
3. Type: npm install crapify -g
4. Type: crapify start --port=8888 --speed=1--concurrency=999999
5. You should now see a line that says "proxy serving"
6. Type: ipconfig
7. Find your local IP address, it should usually be 192.168.0.<something>
8. Go to internet settings on your Switch, change settings for your connection, go down to proxy, enable, enter your IP address. The port is 8888
9. Done

Remember to turn off the proxy settings when you're finished playing the testpunch, otherwise the connection on your Switch will be messed up

>>378221317
thank you

>crapify start --port=8888 --speed=1--concurrency=999999
This should be
crapify start --port=8888 --speed=1 --concurrency=999999
I missed a space, whoops
>>
>>378217238
Based. Thank you for sharing your intelligence with us.
>>
ty anon
>>
>>378221317
thank you so much, was able to get it all working out.
>>
lol, you don't even need to set up a proxy.

just go into settings and lock in some settings under proxy. They don't even have to be correct or work.

then you can play around in the practice room for around 5 minutes or so, when the Swich gives up on trying to connect it'll take you back to the menu, then select a character and start playing again.
>>
>>378217238
You are a genius.
>>
>>378222586
I'm pretty sure the game has like a 15 second timeout to connect, but I'll see if that works
>>
>>378222727

I dunno, it's been going for about 5-8 minutes for me.

How do you turn this off?
>t. brainlet
>>
>>378223061
Ctrl+C

>>378222913


I still used my computer ip for server and 8888 for port, and Auto Authentication off, those are just my default proxy settings for my switch. though, i don't currently have any proxy running for it to connect to.

Just tried the same, and nope. Interesting, I wonder if it's because I have my Switch in the DMZ? Maybe some other anons could test.
>>
>>378223387

strange. Wonder why it works for me then.
>>
>>378221317
Do I enable Automatic Authorization?
>>
>>378224117
No
>>
>>378224205

It actually worked, cheers m8
>>
>>378221317
My switch always disconnects with an issue after like 15 seconds. This blows.
>>
>>378224574
With what error?
>>
How does this game compare to other fighting games when it comes to depth/skill/variety?
>>
>>378224621
Connection test failed.

Unable to connect to proxy server.
Please check thr proxy settings.
>>
>>378224935
You didn't set up the proxy properly
Did you type your computer's local IP in the Server field? Are they both connected to the same network?
>>
>>378225030
Yes to both.
>>
>>378225189
The proxy is running, right? Otherwise your firewall is blocking it or you didn't use the right IP address. There are multiple that can appear on ipconfig

Ooh this worked for me, thanks a bunch my dude
>>
I'll have to try later, thanks OP
>>
So this will work even after all the testfires?
>>
>>378226904
As long as you've used the testpunch at least once, since you need to be able to access the main menu
