Yeah I noticed this too. The little explosion with a charged Seekie is nice, but I would rather stun the opponent not knock them down.
The elemental stuff worries me a little in general, because it seems like electric is obviously the best. Fire is pretty good, but wind seems damn near useless compared to electric and shit. Ice seems ok.

Here's the spreadsheet where all the data goes.
Have fun!

Yeah, although I don't think we need a 5th grip lol
I'm kind of happy the pro controller dpad is defective in a way. The grip works great and you always have the option to detach.
Plus the colours are great fun. Mixing in the Splatoon colours also I don't even want to know how many different grip combinations there are!
Just like every other fighting game, if the base mechanics don't interest you, and don't have any urge to improve your proficiency in utilizing them, don't bother. These games aren't for everyone, there's a reason fighting game install base usually drops off a cliff after the first month.
Rounds are a bit short in my opinion. Never really let me get a feel for the game and my opponent.
Might be because I'm getting smacked over and over, but still. Even when I win I feel like I just got started. I like the Smash format, where there are multiple stocks. I feel like I spend equal time waiting for the next game vs actually playing.

Don't think there is one. My Internet connection boter me several times, but my rank stayed in place.
As others have noted the game is pretty tough on single player and sometimes a chore even. That makes it quite interesting that I find it really fun to play against other player on party match. Quick, light hearted fun. Though, I would prefer if you could only fight 2vs2 or 1vs1, not a fan of the mini games neither in single or multiplayer.
About the controls, I feel that using the pro controller to play is much more easier, at the start at least. I feel like I know what I'm doing with the pro controller as with motion controls even slight hand movement could slam out a punch. Maybe I'll just need more practice with the motion controls, but for now using the pro is way to go for me.

What rank are you? You don't start dropping rank for losses until like level 5.
Ah, still 2, so that could explain it.

Yeah, electric definitely feels like the best element. Not only do you inflict damage, but you get a free grab or rush afterwards. Wind is good if you can follow up with a juggle. Ice is the weakest in my opinion, especially when you're up against an experienced player who has no problem using their arms to block your incoming attacks while frozen.
That's the thing though. I was using Mechanica as my main during the Testpunch and mopping up fools. It's weird I suddenly can't use her. Regardless, I'll take your advice. Thanks!
Might have to try that. Thanks!
You can?? How?
Based on the evidence I've gathered over the past month from internet discussions, the correct answer is: nobody
Versus mode, pick single player. All the known minigame plus a horde mode and a mode where you try to build a winning streak where it gives you different random ARMS to use in each match (even ones you haven't unlocked yet). You still earn coin and it makes for good, concentrated practice.
They are not fun when both opponents decide that YOU ARE GOING TO DIE FIRST.
And they are not fun when you just stand there waiting for the other two to battle it out, then you go in on the survivor who has half health from the previous battle and you win.
Not fun.
1v1v1 is 1v2 for somebody
When you lose the partner on 2v2, it's 1v2. Maybe it's that.

I guess I suck then haha
lol, you suck (is probably what he was thinking)
That's not true at all. People switch target if you force them to, or if you move them in the path of the other guy's arms.
It's just zone control.
And that's not "standing outside doing nothing" either.
That on the other hand is not fun at all :lol:

I don't own a Switch.
I'm just popping in to say LOL @ the thread title. Looking forward to seeing this show up on the front page for a while.

Wow, very well done sir!
I'm on grand prix lvl 6 and it has been made clear to me. I still manage to win sometimes
It's pretty obvious in the training mode. The rush mode knows exactly when you're going to be vulnerable due to frames.
Exactly what I was thinking. Too obvious that the AI counters the instant you press buttons. Feels like cheats instead of higher difficulty. Strategies are worthless if whatever you do, the AI will counter.
"git gud", got it
Don't try to learn stuff then *shrugs*
That is probably a result of the game detecting you move the joy-cons separately and thinking you are trying to use motions, so unfortunately your only solution is probably using the grip or learning to keep your hands still.
