Probably going to pick this up after work today. Does the game still heavily skew towards gyro players? As much as I tried I never got used to them in the original game and always used pro controller. Am I going to spend my time getting destroyed by gyro players?!

I'm still failing at using gyro...wondering if it'll ever get easier :-/

But what now

You're pretty clearly sitting up in that picture.

Try actually lying down and calibrating the motion controls. I turned motion of anyway, but it was one of the first things I noticed when I tried to play in bed on launch day with motion.

Edit : side topic. Are you really disadvantaged by not using motion ? I can't do it at all.

Yes, but unless you are elite it doesn't matter. Just play what makes you feel comfortable.
 
I feel completely useless with the slosher in salmon run, any advice ?

Btw I'm hooked so far ! Here's my friend code :

I cannot do the Charger level on world 4 whatsoever :( The final section on the moving platform is awful.

I feel your pain,I posted about it earlier, but wait are you talking about the level I mentioned, or is there another bullshit level like Octozepplin Invasion!!

I ended up doing it, but I won't be replaying the level, that's for sure.

Ok I'm going to throw the switch against the wall.

I'm doing Octozepplin Invasion in the campaign and I'm right at the end of the level and it's frustrating as fuck.

Anyone done the level know what I'm talking about? You need good timing to reach the end and I just can't do it.

Fucking hate the charger, and fucking hate this level. It's making me wish I had bought physical just so I can trade this damn game in lol

So this just happened. It's actually really interesting that the game seems to have been balanced around drop outs. I only needed two gold eggs and there were way fewer enemies. I just had a complete garbage Blaster...
 
I had to play handheld mode because i kept getting disconnects whilst playing upstairs.

Have to say i'm not much of a fan. I don't really have a problem with the camera, but it feels so stiff compared to using the joy cons. The motion controls are quite sensitive, but it feels as though i have to make bigger gestures to get the same result using handheld.

There are separate sensitivity settings for handheld mode, maybe try to mess with that a bit
 
The only disappointment that I have regarding Splatoon 2 is the music. My sons are (still) playing S1 and the music is way funkier.

Except for that 1-minute track, OMG it's good!

But there's no sensitivity for motion itself, only the axis on the left joycon when you enable motion.

I use the switch purely as a handheld and am yet another one that can't get used to the motion.

It feels really bad, if I didn't know any better I'd have said the switch motion controls were shit, but then you play Breath of the Wild and motion feels beautiful when playing handheld.

Why can't it feel the same as that game :(
 
Amiibo question: Do you get gear when scanning the Callie & Marie Amiibos from Splatoon 1? And can you snap pics with them too? That would be weird considering the backstory in 2.

I cannot believe they still don't let you use both the right stick and gyro for all controls. It's either no up and down movement with the stick or not gyro at all. I still get a weird and annoyed feeling when I try to aim left and slightly up/down with the stick in gyro mode. It's driving me insane. I feel at a huge disadvantage when I'm not using the gyro and I love the motion controls but it's such a weird thing to not let us do.
 
I'm going crazy trying to order gear from the hub, I saw my dream shoes and couldn't order them due to being disconnected for some reason. Now I can't get that squid to re load into the hub.
 
I love Salmon Run, it's so good. Only real complaint is that the whole getting a random weapon thing kinda sucks when you get a bad one, and also some of the bosses are a lot harder than others.
 
Am I the only one experiencing latency issues with the Pro Controller in online mode? Many times buttons don't register, or the character continues moving after having let go of the analogue stick.

I even moved my phone away from the table. Wired controller has no problems.

You do, but you have to beat the game first. If you try it before beating the game you'll get a message talking about them being busy at the time.
 
Oh really? My bad then :lol:
Maybe someday they'll add options in a patch but I wouldn't count on it

Yeah as you say no chance we'll get any updates to the controls in terms of options.

Yeah it just feels really unnatural not being able to look up and down with the right stick.

I've tried but can not get used to it at all. Even gave it another shot on the campaign but had to turn motion off, it was frustrating me.
 
So I genuinely just came in this thread to lament the lack of Inkbrush and my grind to the octo equivalent taking too long...



AND HOLY FUCK YEEEEEESSSSS!

How does this work? Are there level restrictions on DLC weapons? Do I get them free? I assume I have to get them through the gun shop?
 
so.... i don't have the game yet...

but my friends who have it says you can't create party to let friends join you and then joining a game...

you can only join them, and you won't necessarly be in the same team...

Why? This is really stupid coming from nintendo, especially since you can easily do it in arms!
 
The fact you lost by only .1% with three people is pretty awesome.

We were so close to winning as well. My super activated just as the clock hit zero second. One more second was all we needed for me to get a shot off.

I'm enjoying it a lot. Still don't have a clue how to get food tokens though.

You get those through earning points in Salmon Run.

Weapons get released over the course of the games life. They're not paid dlc. You have to buy them in the shop. can't remember if you need to be a certain level.
 

Being able to play a game like this using the train wifi is why I love my Switch so much

A couple of questions: what are the tokens you get as first reward on Salmon Run? And regarding clothing abilities, how do you unlock the third and fourth slot?

It's ultra responsive for me.
 
Probably controversial opinion here but I miss the duo introducing the new stages, lol

Edit: also I haven't tried it yet but there is definitely a separate slider for motion controls sensitivity on handheld mode. Am I missing something OCD Guy?

Tokens let you buy food. You need Sea Snails from Splatfests to get extra slots but some clothing comes with extra slots.
