Turn down your sensitivity if you haven't already. I go with +1 and it offers stable aim without being too slow to turn.

I have them set to +0. It's mostly the disconnect of the gyro controlling both x and y-axis camera movements but the right stick only does x-axis.

God the krak on splatroller is so satisfying. Just played an hour worth of ranked and only lost like 6 and they were all 100-0 rape feats. Most wins were by knockout. It's insane how much you fly up the levels. I think I started learning a lot more map awareness by the end of it, that and that. 96 gal is so dangerous.

God I love this game

End boss was some hype-rear end poo poo.
Got high enough for the Inkbrush. After using Krak-on, you're moving at sanic speed, it's amazing. Sure, it has no spread, but who cares.

Now to Git Gud at multiplayer.

Like half of the gear upgrades I'm getting are the one that increases the range of bombs and such.

I use the Krak-on Roller. These are literally never going to be helpful to me.

So, for those of you that are using the Krak-On Splat Roller (most people using rollers), I highly, highly recommend getting Special Duration up in one of your main slots. Nothing feels better than krakening a person that popped a bubbler right after you popped kraken, only for it to wear out on them before your kraken wears out. Get a couple of sub-ability duration rolls as well, and your kraken lasts a drat long time. I've killed quite a few people who charged at me expecting the kraken to go away because of the increase in duration. One second may not seem like much, but it really is.

Some more screenshots I took

Played a few rounds, and the maps do look pretty cool at night. But the matchmaking is weird: Getting Team Rice (AKA The team I'm on) was quick. So far I've had to wait at least 30 seconds for the other team to show up. I'm not sure if it's paring the teams separately and then trying to merge them or what. But it's a little annoying.

From watching Japanese streams of Splatfest, it seems like there's one new squid sisters song and it plays every single match. So that'll get old.

Splat-o-matic is basically a slightly better N-Zap with a worse sub/super, which is to say it's a worse Jr. and a worse Aerospray. I don't know why we needed another short range, high attack speed weapon but there you go.

Its longer range, and a narrower line of fire

The first few rounds I was in, our team dominated. Then it was a streak of near misses or blowouts, followed by domination again.

More skill guns is a welcome inclusion to the game. Anything you have to aim at people is a treat.

That's what I like about the blaster, but in reality it seems like aiming for direct hits punishes you more often than it rewards you.

スーパーごはんボーイ = Super Rice Boy. The more you play, the more you "level" up your character in the fest. If you win you get five points, lose and you get two (If you get over 400 points in the round).

Rock > cats

Here's how you play the game. On the count of three we both throw out our hands in the shape of a symbol "cat" is represented by two cat ears, "bread" is represented by a flat slice of bread, and "rock" is represented by a fist which you would pump in the air if you were excited because of listening to rock. Cat beats bread, Rock beats Cat, and Bread beats Rock.

I"m not sure what the rationale for that last one is though.

In the credits there's a doodle of the octoling and the inklings riding on the octarian shooting platform like bumper cars.

I hope that's a gamemode down the line.

A mode where it ignores the weapon you selected and just has four vehicles for each team might be cool. Or one where there's one big vehicle that both teams get to fight over, like one of those ink turrets from single player, or versions of the wide moving brushes or sprayer robots that you could turn your team's color.
