>>383969757
Well I work tomorrow so it'll only be 4 hours for me.
>12 hours of splatfest
How?
>>383970871
All three splatfests are four hours long, but they start at different times. When they start are on the OP
>>383970757
lmao wagekeks
>>383969757
Why is the child black in the parental control icon?
>>383970871
Nip, Burger, and Yurop are at different times. You can download each region's demo since the Switch is region free to some extent.
>>383971043
>>383971056
Thanks.
>>383969757
holy SHIT there is more than one splatfest? someone please tell me how this is going to go down
>>383971312
Make a Nintendo account for each region, go to the eShop, download.
>>383971312
There are three links telling you when each of them start in the OP. The first is JP, the second is EU, and the third is USA. If you have three accounts on your switch each with a different region for its associated nintendo account, you can play all three after downloading each demo from the corresponding eshop.
>>383971056
What is the extent?
>>383969757
Wait so the jap one is in 3 hours? I thought it was in 30 minutes... I don't know why really
Thanks for the heads up. Downloading the JP splat fest now.
>>383971056
You would need to have an America, European, and Japanese account for all of these, right?
>>383972092
I think you can also change the region setting for your account at the my nintendo site, however you will lose all money currently on your account if you do so.
>usually go to sleep at 2
>work tomorrow
>I cant fall asleep yet so will have to stay awake the whole day if i want to play
I guess i will call sick
>>383973017
I'm taking a nap between fes1 and fes2. There's a 4 hour gap between those, so it should be doable.
Gonna do a little jap and rest up for US tomorrow. I hope I don't fuck up the jap matches with lag.
less than 3 hours to launch
How long do these splatfests last?
#teambullypearl
I seriously hope you guys are all on Team Cake.
>>383974879

>>383975172
Until december 3rd or march 12th?
you cunts better not be using wifi
>>383975338
>you have to buy an ethernet port
what a shitty console
>>383975402
>buy an adapter in 2006
>you can still use it 11 years later
WOW WHAT A DISASTER, NINTENDOOMED
>>383975510
>WiiU was fine without it
>Switch can't stay connected without shitting itself without it
rly maeks u thig
>>383975510
Nintendo is lucky their fanbase eats up so much shit
You need to buy a ethernet port.
You have to use your phone for voice chat
And your paying $60 for a game that will be 80% the same as the original
>>383975578
April 4th?
>>383975643
>>WiiU was fine without it
"Fine" if you're downloading games, fuck wifi when you're playing.
>>383975821
Yes. The WiiU was fine. I'm finding more people have having problems with the Switch's wi-fi than the WiiU's. Maybe if you wanted to go toe-to-toe against Lagmaster Japs and you lived in Mid-West or EU then you'd need an adapter. The Switch problem seems to be pretty multi-regional.
>>383975402
>>383975510
>wii is perfectly fine on WiFi because don't have shit net
>eventually get a wii u some 7 years later and get an adapter since it can use generic USB 2.0
>plug the nigger into the back of the dock for fast as fuck downloads
>tchnically if I bought it for the wii, I wold have had an accessories that would have worked across three system generations
Feels good desu. Might get a 3.0 adapter later but it's not necessary.
>>383969757
Do i have to make multiple emails for different accounts?
>>383976436
Yes.
>>383976436
>he doesn't have more than 3 emails
>>383976651
I do I just don't like them getting emails from dorment accounts I'll never use again.I wish Sony would stop that shit
>>383976724
>JP Sony account on side email
>moon speak Sony spam every day
After I make a JP account and link it to a Switch profile, will changing the console's region and language back to NA and English keep everything the way it was? Last time I used the JP eShop, I had to reinitialize the console.
>>383977186
Just the eshop (and JP splatfest) is in moonrunes.
>>383975274
Ill admit that is a very tasty ice creamprobably brcause of the cake
>mfw there's people that failed to get a Switch reading this
So it starts at 4:00? Who here want's to wake me up when it's time?
>>383977735
I found one at Target last weekend thankfully. I would've been very butthurt if I didn't have one by this point.
fug i want a switch but no place around me has one
>>383977735
i bought one without any issues or wait. Just went to the store when i felt like to and they happen to have one left. I even thought there were no more shortages because of the simplicity.
Feels good.
>>383977928
Same. I dont know why but i alwats find hot nintendo items on Target, even with the amiibos.
>>383977978
It fucking blows that this is still happening. The only reason I own a Switch now is because I happened to be on Amazon at the right fucking time in April. If I had been a few minutes late, I would've missed it and been just like you.
Has there been any news of a big restock to accompany Splatoon 2's launch at all?
>>383977978
Everyone in my [online] circle of friends managed to pre-order one months ago. It's going to be hell to find a Switch once the normies realize Splatoon 2 is out/almost out.
TWO HOURS AAAAAAAAAH
>>383978330
There's a Splatoon 2 bundle everywhere + a limited edition splatoon bundle in Japan and Europe
>>383970980
but the splatfests are for different regions. wouldnt p2p multiplayer with people across the world be unplayable?
I don't really want to buy a console AND pay for online service for that console for one game.
>>383978647
It would be just fine if everyone stopped using wifi.
>>383978713
Its a good thing its not just one game.
>>383978059
Which state? I'm trying to buy one for my niece, but here in new jersey they're all gone.
>Watching old Splatoon vids
>watch this one

>>383980003
YOU DID THIS! YOU DOOMED HER! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU!
Who /teampearl/ here?
>>383980665
Maybe next time if she gets a better option to represent. But I just loves me some Ice Cream.
>Have to watch the capeshit movie with my nomie friend in 30 min
Kill me
>>383980665
>>383980773
Same here. I actually like Pearl more than Marina. But I like ice cream more than either of them.
>>383969757
Why the fuck is the splatfest during evo. FUCK
I played splatoon for about 6 hours today and it's just not that fun. I don't see why people are so excited for what seems to be the same thing.
>>383980457
Don't blame Hotaru-sama for having better fans.
>>383978568
>not releasing those joycons at the same time as the game
>autumn
Why the fuck?
>>383980830
The switch is portable. Hook it up to your 4G Internet and go to the bathroom.
>>383981431
>better
I think you mean "more" fans. That's like saying Rosalina is better than Daisy because she's more popular. It's like saying Katy Perry is better than James Brown because she has more fans.
>>383979203
Florida
I can play the European Splatfest with my North American account, right?
>>383981660
You have to download the european version with an european account so my guess is no.
>>383981346
Is the multiplayer already up? Because single player is not exaxtly the maim attraction.
Besides some people either never played the first oneor got their gamepad broken like me
>>383981648
Not just "more". Stronger. Aori fans just didn't have what it takes.
>>383981660
Yes. Just make sure you make a new user set in Europe to download the demo then you can use them with your regular user
I just woke up, why do the Japs in the square have high ranks? The Splatfest hasn't started yet
ONE HOUR UNTIL THE FIRST SPLATFEST IN LIKE A YEAR
>>383975338
You bet I am duder
>>383982646
are you sure it's not NPCs?
>thought the jp splatfest was in 4 hours
>was actually 1
Oh shit, time to splat some gooks
>>383982646
People got early copies.
>>383982827
It's actually in 50 minutes if it's like every other testfire/testpunch.
>>383982880
More good news
>>383982205
It was rigged for the plot of #2. Didn't Callie win nearly every splatfest?
>>383982649
So we can play despite not choosing their options? And vice versa for us and Europe? Neat.
>bought a new HDMI for my Switch about 3 days ago
>turn on my Switch today
>No signal
I fucking hate this dock holy shit
>>383983009
Callie got most of the good taste choices.
But as a waifu, Marie was always better.
I tried to stay up you guys
Looks like I only get 8 hours of Splatfest....
>>383969757
which splatfest is the US one?
>>383984152
USA splatfest is in 14.5 hours.
>>383983439
enjoy your Pizza Hitler.
>>383983116
You have to play each Splatfest separately. So you need three demos, one from each region.
The thing will probably be live in like 15 minutes.
>>383984876
Relying on you for the timing anon
>>383984671
Ohhh, so I need to download the nip one right now? Well damn, thanks for the heads up.
where my /splitjoycon/ bros at?
>>383985027
Only real way to play
No a/c in my room, I'll die splatting.
Ill just play the JP one
Im not even sure If Im going to buy this game
When does the European one start in EST?
9 MINUTES
soonnnnn
>>383985728
8 hours from now.
>go to lobby
>get booted
>repeat
LET ME IN, FASTER
Is the detached joy-cons meme actually a thing? Or use dog face controller?
>>383981613
My guess for this is they simply couldn't make enough of them in this color in time, and what few they managed are going to Japanese Switch Splatoon bundle.
spamming the lobby atm
>>383985908
Detached joycons are how I beat everyone in the testfire, its the way to go.
>>383969757
WAIT WHAT
I thought it was all Simoultaneous
WHY THE FUCK IS THE AUSTRALIAN ONE AT 8 AM THEN
FUCK
IT'S UP

Thanks Nintendo Switch, now I can fight forcakeon the shitter
>>383985728
11 am EST.
However you should be using EDT, so 12 am.
>>383986017
It's rock vs. pop right now you goober.
OH SHIT IT IS UP
NANI
not live yet
What are the two options when you enter the lobby? I dont read slant
>>383986048
im playing on jap right now
Mine says is not up yet
ACTUALLY HAPPENING NOW
any second now
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Stupid roommmate is downloading his stupid animu. I told him to stop already.
>>383972092
Yes.
Go to accounts.nintendo.com and make one, selecting the appropriate country. Then make a user on the Switch and link that Nintendo account.
LIVE AAAAAAH
>they have a concert
The presentation in this game is 20/10
>>383986105
Top one is for teams, bottom one is solo
>playing nip version
>all the names that appear are in English
What?
don't let me down #teamrock
Do they show kills that you got with your special? Because that's new
>>383986379
Holy shit im not the only one
>>383986379
I mean it's not just japan playing
>>383986373
>The other console is not responding
why this
>tfw only english name on a team full of japanese
Getting flashbacks, hope I don't get matches thrown
how do I maneuver with the dualies
Is it just me or is matchmaking eating shit
We got destroyed
I had forgotten the controls completely
>>383986547
I couldn't connect using my US account but after switching to my JP account I connected immediately, try switching accounts and see if that helps.
>>383986640
okay B while ZR
How do you switch weapons?
>>383986640
jump while shooting to dodge
>tfw wom my first game
Woomy
Why does it takes so long to find a game tho? Is it because japs prefer pearl?
>>383981652
>tfw in Miami and none around all of south fl
is the jap splatfest download only in jap language or can you play it in english?
>>383986793
Only jp by the looks, language isn't a big deal though
>try to jump with the duelies
>dash
>try to look at the gamepad to see where teammates are
>stare at joycon grip for a few seconds
>Press x to jump
>Look at map
I need to get used to this
>>383986741
Go to the lobby and press +

using my nip account so if you run into a トンド thats me, sorry in advance for being trash I have to get used to this again.
>>383986889
Thanks mate
>>383986978
Stop throwing matches you nerd.
>>383986840
I know I won't.
Is there a benefit to doing this or is it basically just like a testfire again?
>>383987129
You might start off with sea shells or something. No one really knows
Rock is slaying
How do you dodge roll with the dualies?
Oh god boys. I can't carry these baddies. Team Rock is going to lose for having shitters on it, like all the popular picks before.
>literally doesn't connect
Am I being rused?
Played one game against pop so far out of three matches. Do people hate pop or blacks?
>>383987170
No, nothing carries over. The game tells you when you go to the lobby.
>>383987191
ZR then B
Do you guys use motion controls?
>>383987231
>implying anyone likes pop
Doesn't help that nips prefer pearl.
>>383987208
I have won all my matches
>>383987286
>Doesn't help that nips prefer pearl.
Oh do they? Makes sense then.
started getting griefers
how do you get the jetpack to fly higher?
>>383987478
Pressing the jump button gives you a little boost
>>383987478
press jump
>>383987458
How so
>>383987276
Of course
Unless you know how people are going to move and play in the game, you're at a disadvantage
>>383978734
wifi has nothing to do with latency just bandwidth
So I'm guessing none of your progress saves over to the retail version? Would love to get some early shells before release.
>spinning the joystick in the lobby changes the pitch of the music slightly
>>383987651
nope
>>383987593
they stand on the pad doing nothing
>>383987685
so does every other input
even the home button
>>383987593
If they seem to be losing they instantly give up and stay at spawn
4 out of 4
How to play with online friends?
Am I being useful if I just stay behind as roller autistically inking our base?
>>383987787
In the lobby the top option is for teams, check that
I think the match making is getting smarter.
All the people I'm paired up with have English names.
>>383987838
Ive done that. I need to create a lobby and with just 2 people it seems to not let me play
>>383987824
As long as you're constantly inking clean/enemy turf, yes.
>three pops join the enemy team
>they instantly disappear
not a single japanese name yet
lol at obvious new accounts called "Japan" or "Japon"
>can't find a match
POP FAGS WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?
>>383987915
Probably needs to be 4 people for the splatfest, they'll most likely change it in the full game.
>people picking JP or Japan as names
What button do I press to booyah? Had some nice flanks with a roller bro but I couldn't figure it out
>>383988236
>random moonrunes and a silly japanese emoticon
I'm blending in perfectly

>playing dualies
>run into enemy dualie
>both of you roll in the same direction at the exact same time
>>383988258
D-pad up = jump to me
D-pad down = noice
To you guys playing right now, how's the internet going?
>Marinafags getting btfo this hard
I love the winning song.
What is the arrow in the lobby screen?
I thought it would be impossible to top the original splatfest battle song. But this one is pretty damn good. It feels like a final boss song. Especially Marina's verses.
>Losing by 0.4%
FUCK
Get out of here Chen, this isn't even your game. That IP is dead.
>>383988520

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzK9-Rk21UM
Love the splattershot but hate the jetpack, hate the dualies but love the tentamissles. Should I learn to use the jetpack or the dualies?
>>383988702
Use the Jetpack since you can use your special 2-3 times a match when the main weapon is always in use
when you get a team that won't paint and won't kill
unrelated but maybe someone with a switch can answer; if I buy minecraft on switch, can I cross-play with people on PC?
Don't understand these menus
>>383988952
According to the Microsoft presentation at E3, I believe so.
>>383988952
Soon. But you will need to make a microsoft live account which takes like 5 seconds
>>383988952
No my dude
>>383988520
It's worse. Why should I have to put up with Pearl's "singing" to get to Marina when we had the Squid Sisters who both could sing wonderfully? Plus it reminds me a bit of snowboard kids music, which is a good game but doesnt really fit with a splatfest.
I swear they are making Pearl worse than any of the other three so you don't get upset when she turns out evil and Marina has to go solo.
>>383988952
Soon, yes... at least for the Windows 10 version.
I'm scared to try it out, I hardly played the first. What if I disappoint my team?!?
>>383988702
Chill, there will be various kits in full game. For now just experiment. Besides you might get to like jetpack once you learn how to use it to jump over shit and rocket jump across Moray.
>it's another "your team all picks chargers and never actively tries to paint turf" episode
Sniper like weapons were a mistake
You can download while the switch is in sleep mode, right?
>>383969757
1 hour left for rock vs pop?
>>383989051
everybody starts somewhere, no point worrying being a disappointment when you're brand new, i'll probably suck at first too as a returning player
>>383989124
3 hours afaik
>>383989123
Right.
>this new splatfest music
It's amazing.
>>383989124
it started 1 hour ago
gogogogo dood
>>383989165
Cool then I can get some sleep. 13 hours to go. Thanks.
>finds my team in seconds
>takes like 5 minutes to find the opponent team
Why does this happen?
>>383989051
Trust me, no one gives a shit. Just go for it.
>>383989014
What don't you understand?
>>383989201
because you picked the best choice and so did most people
i get the feeling that i am only playing yuros
>>383988918
>when the opposing team has the only japanese player
>>383989201
Probably because most of your team is composed of non-japanese people making it easier to match up while the team may be full of nips
>>383989110
Charger main here , I'm not sorry , it's for muh frag videos
>>383989242
if the choices are unbalanced it just puts the same team against eachother and the win/loss doesn't matter
Do you have enough to use a Jap demo? Don't feel like making another account
rock or pop which is the better choice
>>383989379
just change the reigon of your existing account m9
>>383989124
3 hours. This is a splatfest, not a testfite. Though you can think of it as a longer testfire.
>>383989397
>just change the reigon of your existing account m9
(and lose all of your money in the process)
1 hour until stage switch.

How can popfags even compete?
(they can't)

Which one of you squits is this
The matchmaking here is worse than Overwatch's.
>>383989573
Use the gyro in handheld mode?
>>383989335
>tfw top score with charger
are the other weapon types even trying
aiming up to throw bombs feels like shit

>storing shekels on the jewtendo store
nyani?
>>383989645
Game matches your ping so you just admitted to having shit internet. Good job kid!
if the matchmaking keeps taking this long I might just go to sleep and try again with the EU splatfest.
>save the match with a missles special
Feels good. Those chargerfags deserved it too.
Matchmaking is taking 5 mins max for me I don't see the problem
>cant lvl up to access the weapon shop to use the testing area
>>383989801
I meant in putting you with shit players. But okay, kid.
>>383989623
Wow these Japs have good spelling
>>383989965
I'm a squid you faggot
>>383989863
>Triple splat with missiles
I didn't expect to love these so much.
ive ignored this game up until now. i hope its as good as you all say
Have pop even win a single game?

>>383989948
Suck it hate speech fag.
Has the tickrate been upgraded?
>>383989926
5 mins is a lot if you ask me, but it will probably be less on EU version.
Does someone knows if nips are also taking that long?
>yfw you're in The Zone
who is swolepepeJ
>>383990080
>did something good happen
Take a wild guess.
i always forget to use the right stick for big swipes
Which one of you fags is "cuck"
I know you're here "cuck"
>>383990092
My guess is that we're using the japanese version of the game but we're still connecting to the NA servers, and there aren't too many people who are playing in NA right now because of the region block. Japan is probably experiencing little delay in matchmaking right now.
Best weapon to use in this rotation?
>>383990242
This. Im playing against people with JP after their name, like they are using their designated JP account to play it
PEARLFAGS BTFO AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>Rock is more popular
>been getting a good number of wins for rock
I have no idea how they tallied percentages in the last group of splatfests but I hope we're not getting too fucked from the shitters and mirror matches popularity brings.
Also the splatfest music is such a step up from the first game.
>tfw I cant use gyro because I'm laying down and if I get up the cum I just jizzed into my belly button will spill out and make a mess
Fuck you Pearl
>>383990372
Is that a fucking diaper?

>>383990143
>zipping across the stage with dualies
>destroy everything in your path
You need to be invincible when doing the ground slam move. Such bs.
>>383990435
its not her fault you jizzed to her.
>this fucking battle theme
Glorious
Roller seems like an intermediate weapon, just go to assraped while trying to use it
>>383990587
assraped by me, using a roller.
Rock and roll boys
>>383990370
I don't get that. I downloaded the Jap demo from Jap account but I'm playing with my normal default US account. Why would someone play with their alternate Jap account?
>>383990587
ROADA ROLLA DA!!!!!!! xD
>>383976436
>>383976724
just use 10 minute mail
>>383990679
maybe they didn't realize you can use the original account
>>383989320
I never even thought about it, but of fucking course it had to happen.
>>383990435
>not just drinking it

so we're all having trouble to find ice fags, right?
my cake lobby is always instant full.

holy fuck is there a reason why team green is so shit? i get steamrolled every match by fucking pink
>>383990587
This. What do I do when people shot at me? Run away?

Except this is nips splatfest you dunce. Pop vs Rock.

>>383990872
Because Pop attracts beta males who drink water from plastic bottles and listen to vaporware while rock attracts competent ultra males
How do I play the splatfest now. It says there arent any.
>>383990987
>listen to vaporware
>>383990831
this is rock v pop right now. just wait man, NA is gonna be all frozen milk

I can't get the hang of the charger's special. Best of luck to you anon
Leave chargerfags to me.
>>383991063
pardon the spelling. These lesser genres of "music" (if you can call it that) are beneath my cerebral power.
>>383991129
It feels like shit to use. Everything about it just screams "hit me, there's fucking nothing I can do about it".
downloading now, haven't tried but excited for dualies
they hold their own against the other weapons? Are the dodge roll(s) actually legit?
>>383991296
dualies seem shit so far
>>383991296
theyre good at getting away from enemy ink you accidentally stepped on

The dodging is great but it requires mastery
I say wait for the campaign to give you some extra practice before jumping into ranked

I really want a Pro but it's so expensive.
Map change soon, fellow squids.

>>383992230
No they aren't.
It's pretty simple.
The problem is timing and learning which way to roll.

If not in win percent, Rock will win definitely in sheer numbers.

my current rank
only played the jap version so far so i can't read anything
is there a setting that allows the right stick to affect vertical movement as well?
>>383992901
your anime gets raped in episode 2
Moray towers is making my dick so fucking hard. Keep winning each one so far for us Rock Bros.
>>383993024
Not with motion controls on, no
>>383993024
No, unless you wanna ditch motion controls.
>>383993024
nope.
s1 didn't have it either.
>70% Of the people playing the JP Splatfest have names in latin script
Do nips do this or has the Splatfest been colonised?
mfw Roller changes means that Non gyro fags now HAVE to adapt to gyro
>>383992901
I'm going to get the rope
>>383993024
Press x at the hub, press r all the way to the right, select the first left option, and change the last option to OFF. You're on gyro settings right now, so you control vertical movement with your controller through motion. If you're using joycons you're using your right stick.
Jesus christ can I play one fucking match in a stage other than Moray Towers?
>>383993024
Afaik you must disable the motion controls, then aim is handled exclusively bight right stick. Was same in the first game but its kinda weird, I would welcome more freedom with settings there.
>>383993110
I think theres regional matchmaking
There's so many ways to get around Moray Towers now. As a chargerfag since day 1 of Splatoon it makes me scared.
>>383992901
It just take practice my man youll get there
Wow the charger is fucking trash
>>383993156
No i like having motion controls on but i want to be able to use right stick to adjust vertically in a pinch just like how it currently works horizontally.
What are the voice commands?
I see it changes for if you get killed or not
>>383993110
It match you by ping probably.
>>383993127
What do you mean my dude? Also does anyone know how how to change the direction of the roller?
>>383993343
vert swing is a better kill move, and they nerfed the kill range of wide swing
The matchmaking took a real dip, haven't gotten a match in 5 attempts and when I finally did it was with another pop team, I'll call it here and probably come back for the EU splatfest. I hope Marina wins the first splatfest.
>>383991776
He does it!
I never played the original, was its presentation as fucking phenomenal as Splatoon 2's?
>>383993274
Nah mate, they made it even better.
Can hold charges while swimming in ink.
Maybe you should aim better?
>>383993336
Up is "This way!", down is "Booyah!" and up when you're dead is "Ouch..."
>>383993343
Standing is horizontal, jumping is vertical.
Are you supposed to split the joycons if you're using gyro
>tfw no N-Zap in the splatfest
>>383993482
Yes, why do you think the first one did so well?
How do you do the roll with the dualies>>383993519
>>383993597
Jump while shooting
>>383993597
B and a direction while shooting
>>383993567
No. If the gyro seems off then put the grip on the floor for a few seconds to recalibrate it.
>>383993597
While shooting, press B.
>>383993482
The original had a good style, but this game seems to be going fucking nuts with that style.

>>383993284
Ah, you'll be stuck with no vertical controls then. I wish there was a way to modify that too, but it doesn't seem so
>mfw pop wins because of winrate
Get fucked.
>>383993810
naw japan's underdog winrate is MUCH lower then murrica's
>>383993810
doubt it
Mmm, Splat Dualies feel so good, these are probably the best weapons for 1v1s. On top of that, they're amazing when youre rushing someone down to get in their face, or hunting someone who's running away.
The endlag after 2 dashes is MASSIVE though and you need good tracking to actually kill someone if you're dashing mid firefight, plus you can be killed in the middle of a dash if you move predictably.
Furthermore, the Rocket Launcher special is so good, not necessarily for it's killing potential, but because it forces enemies to move recklessly, so if they're close by, you can cut off their escape for a kill.
Fffffuuuck, I love this weapon.
>>383993650
>tfw not with charger
>>383993968
not good*
>>383993884
This. Probably the weapon I have the most fun with
Just remember /v/, even if you think you're trash, this is just a limited Testfire; the full game on Friday has a much wider variety of weapons and I'm sure you'll find the one for you! Don't get disheartened by your Splatfest performance!
>>383993110
some nips do, yes.
i'm going by "okaki" which is apparently a thing and it's hilarious because I just made the name up in my head

hmm
>>383994168

Just play the standard splattershot until you can go 0D with it.

How do you turn 180 with the gyro without not facing the screen
>>383994418

>>383994403
I imagine they were thinking "no one plays male squids but we need to be fair and include an item for the minority that does play them"
>>383994104
>using an alternative account
But why?
>>383994518
I'm genuinely curious why they bothered including them. It was literally designed for girl squids.
>>383994461
I turn with analog and use gyro for fine tuning, but I'm seriously wondering how low sensitivity analog players deal with dual roll spammers
>>383994405
>>383994430
This is the thing that made Splatoon 2 perfect for me, there are zero panic button specials. No one can pop special and kill you instantly, even that walking bubble thing has to charge before it blows up. You can be killed while using Splashdown, and everything else leaves you vulnerable. Truly, this game will be amazing.
>>383994529
I'm silly and thought I needed a JP and a US account.
>>383994327
nice try randy, your game still sucks

I tried this yesterday just running around the hub world and thought it was bretty gud.
Then I used it in the Tutorial and holy fuck it was perfect.
Fuck the Pro Controller, a pokken pad and Joycons are all I need for all my Switch games now.
>>383994113
Me too. Fractions are hard.
Are America and Europe playing in the same maps or is there a chance that we will see others?Fuck i want the complete game, one week feels like forever

Pretty sure it's the same maps.

>>383993238
out of all the maps, they had to bring moray and mackerel.
Not any of the newer maps. Not saltspray rig or urchin underpass. saddening.
If all the maps come over though, the gamell be so packed
Hey, when I input forward on my control stick on my controller, I get this weird stickiness, where it's not going forward all the way and my inkling moves wicked slow. Anyone know what that might be?
I've literally never used my Pro controller before, so I'd hate to think I've already borked it.

>>384000248
You can use a USB 3.0 gigabit ethernet adapter on the Switch if you want. Real world difference is probably not much unless you were using a USB 2.0 one with a shitty chipset.
