Depends on how hectic the game can get and if the other team can push you back. A lot of moments where a roller got faced down by like two splatters or another roller and tried to turn back and I finished them off hahaha >

My TV settings were set too super vivid so it was like a colorgasm. Was beautiful.

Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Yabuki turned off voice chat in Mario Kart races. True artists of their time.
You can use it offensively? Thought it was mostly for escapes/traversal. Unless you mean for stealth ambushes.
Seems to be the only time the sniper is useful. I used it got a match and HATED it. Awful range, no movement while charging up, and it doesn't do as much damage as I expected.
It's also piss poor for painting the environment, something all the other weapons trounce it with.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Just came up with a new idea for communicating with team members.
A flag/beacon system.
Touch anywhere on the map( as long as it is not your team member) and a colored beacon will appear for all to see.
The colors would be Red, White, and Black.
Red means there is an area that needs ink.
White: means that the area is secure
Black: engaged in fire need backup
I think this would be a perfect way to implement team communication(If Nintendo is hell-bent on No voice chat) and it would be balanced too. For example, a team member may set a red beacon indicating to both friend and enemy that an area needs to be inked. In doing so everyone may arrive in the area or, another team member could stay back and ambush incoming opponents. There would also be the question of which team sent out the beacon for mind games of course.

Pink and blue were great. Orange as well. That sickly green yellow though lmao

God dammit why did they make the demo only playable at certain times instead of letting us play as much as we want like every other beta ever. I wanna play more.
Amazing, I am sharing this for sure!
On a roll, Salva, on a roller
Woops, too late to edit =P

My 13 year old brother wanted to try it out and we traded off every few matches. When it ended he turns to me and says "Cool, see you at 4am..." Damn it...

I think the teal and pink paint looks best..
EDIT: Team Blue, Purple, and Green ftw.
Is there a yellow, because I didnt see it. Theme song is stuck in my head.
Which level did people like more? Even though I played it more often, I liked Walleye Warehouse more than Saltspray Rig. The rig felt slightly too large and unwieldy for a 4v4 battle. It's a better level for sniping and multi-level movement, so maybe it'll be better as I get more used to the game?
There was always one corner of the Rig (with a couple overlooks) that the other team would always seem to ignore for some reason. Once you cover it, it was really easy to defend and wall people out.

They said that some of the stages not shown yet will be more vertical.

It seems like the sniper is meant to be a killing machine. It's just that the starter sniper has medium range so it's not amazing at it, but in the full game when we can get a bunch of different charge guns and skills to help then they will fill their role well.

Ditto. I always play as females when given the choice, though.

The splattershot jr+shield is the real MVP, rollers get splattered

I had a ton of fun, but man did I get connection errors out the ass at first mid-match. By the end of the demo period things seemed smoother though. Was that just on my end or did a lot of people get similar errors?
Also seems like a shooter which for once I'd prefer having the gyro's on. Gets too complicated otherwise having to swim/jump and aim at the same time when I swapped over to the traditional setup.

I'm surprised red or purple are not selectable colours for this game.
I liked the rig
ran immediately to that big square area centered on the other side of the map. seemed to be a pretty key area to take over.

Ow, my wrists. Decades playing PC shooters and console shooters alike, I don't think my wrists have ever taken such a beating. I turned gyro controls off about 30 minutes in, but there's just something about trying to play a shooter with the wide gamepad that seems to create an awkward angle for my wrists. If this is just a temporary discomfort I'll get used to then the game will be fun.
I never found myself using the gamepad map though, so I would prefer to use the pro controller when the actual game goes live. Somehow I doubt this will be an option for multiplayr, at least at release. I'm hoping they patch it in later at some point since they seem to be doing a staggered release of other content as well.

Don't many online focused games have betas like this? I remember a few MMORPGs have select times to beta test
If they include some of the single player stuff like the Squid rappel line and other traversal methods...
Brown boy like me, Nintendo got the skin color just right, shit devs like Bethesda think White skin+Purpura=Brown

Yeah I don't think many of the matched were that hectic. I usually stuck with someone if I could. Otherwise I lone wolfed it and just painted everything and swam off if more than one or two guys were in my area trying to get me.
Can't wait to play more but that will have to be the 29th because I'm not getting up in 6 hours to play and I work during the final test.
That's a really cool idea, yeah. Wonder if they will implement something like that. I want at least some form of communication built into the game.

I liked the Rig, I just liked the way it was set up. Warehouse was still enjoyable though.
