The sniper weapon is picked if you want your team to hate you and also lose. Maybe it'll have better loadouts in the full game but as is if my team had it the sniper dude would always have 1 kill at best and like 200 points On the topic of netcode it was mostly okay for me earlier today so I don't want to give up on it or anything but I remember Splatoon 1 kind of winding up the same way and man, I don't want that again even if the game is super fun

I have also not been having any issues with connectivity, which surprises me because I had them out the rear end with Splatoon 1. All of my online experience with this testfire has been nigh-flawless.  Motion controls still gently caress me over on multiple occasions. It's not so much a technical issue but rather how I myself move my controller: every left-or-right movement I make will always be accompanied by lifting it upwards, which means I'll always line up horizontally and then shoot over the target's head. If there were an option to turn the vertical gyroscoping off while preserving the horizontal, I could make it work, but this is sadly not a thing. horchata posted:can someone explain the sniper rifle with me because I can't help but feel like it's an auto-loss weapon It's got a pretty high skill ceiling and almost definitely needs the motion controls to be effective, but it's worth learning if you can manage it - it's the only way to oneshot an enemy at range, and a fully charged shot can spread quite a lot of ink. The Charger in the demo has a pretty abysmal subweapon loadout compared to the rest though - regular Splat Bombs and the Sting Ray are less than spectacular on a dedicated sniping weapon. I feel like it and the Roller's subweapons should be swapped (Splashdown on a dedicated melee weapon is also unimpressive). SL the Pyro fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Mar 25, 2017 |

I still notice the lag similarly to Splatoon 1 (I killed someone, and then about 10 seconds later I just popped and it said they killed me) My LAN adapter is still on my WiiU though - I should probably connect it for the next round of this and see if it's any different

i got the DNS error earlier, turning the switch completely off and back on fixed it for me. otherwise splatoon has been running smoothly.

re: sniper rifles They weren't any good in the "ink everything" modes even in Splatoon 1. They were pretty monstrous in King of the Hill, so don't write them off until the full release.

The entire point of chargers isn't for you to coat an area with paint but its to kill the enemy team enough your teammates can dominate the map with your ink

Maple Leaf posted:re: sniper rifles I often got over 1000 points in turf war with the Squiffer. Edit!: Chargers weird people out in Splatoon because they're accustomed to sitting and camping with sniper weapons in other games, but in Splatoon, camping will lose you the game, and I think a lot of people aren't comfortable going down into the fray with sniper-type weapons. It's not only required, but actually completely possible. But you need to know where the best spots are, how to rapidly move between them based on the flow of the match, and it doesn't hurt to be a good enough shot to point-blank the occasional Roller that tries to jump you.

Had one or two instances of being murdered when well out of roller range, but all in all a good time again. They took down the servers on time this time so that was sort of sad

It was smooth for me on WIFI, though I have my switch next to the router so take that with a grain of salt. Dual Splatties are super fun and I like the homing missile super, though I never got more than one person with it.

It's the worst when you think you can squeeze one last match out and then you get kicked right as it's about to start.

Dual Splatties are super fun and I like the homing missile super, though I never got more than one person with it. The missile feels much more like a zoning tool, you won't kill anyone directly unless they can't move, so you force them out of their hidey hole and chase them down It REALLY helps that it gives you that lock on the whole time, so it's like a mini map hack too

Playing in tablet mode with my router across the room, ran completely flawless for me (aside from one or two long queue times) They even let me finish my last game before booting me out of the demo Got my rear end kicked but I'm gonna keep playing for sure

My favorite thing so far is to hide behind a wall in the corner of the map, activate the stingray, and then pull up my map to see where I ought to be aiming. Even if I don't kill someone, I get to imagine that people are running like gently caress from it. EDIT: Lemming posted:Actually I think you're the one to ask; how do you feel about the charger changes? Every charger I played against was predictably miserable so I couldn't judge how different it makes things I'm still not used to holding the charge, and some weird stuff happens sometimes when you go over a patch of enemy ink. The time I tried it, I lost the charge, so I'm not sure what's going on there. Also, I think you have to be fully charged to save the charge, though I haven't tested that thoroughly. Otherwise, since this was basically my standard loadout, the only big difference was the new super, which is interesting, but I don't know how it compares against the bomb rush.

Jonas Albrecht posted:I kinda don't like the new maps. found myself going back to the splattershot, new specials feel weird and are going to take some getting used to. This testfire doesnt let you just stick around in the tutorial forever it seems, so time to wait until the next testfire to try them some more.

I personally don't mind that the maps have more plastic on them so there are slightly less ways to pop up and surprise someone, but there always plenty of back paths to ninja someone.
