Adjust the sensitivity, they actually aren't that bad.

Alternately stand the console up and use a controller separately.

That's what I do but the problem is that the screen is so tiny I have to practically be kissing it in order to focus/see everything that's happening. On the opposite end my 50" tv tends to give me motion sickness because I have the sensitivity cranked up all the way

They’re perfectly fine to me in handheld mode, I just up the sensitivity to max.

Well, it's probably just as well none of the turtles I picked won, because I'll be out of town visiting my folks next weekend so I won't have time to participate in the finals. Sucks that I'll miss out on the new shifty station, though. :smith:

I've had a few Goldie rounds in the past where someone would find it first time, every time. I don't know how they do it.

Yeah I've had to turn motion controls off. I hated them on both the Wii systems and I guess I dont like them on the switch either.

Idk I'm so used to motion controls in handheld mode that anything else feels terrible to me now, it's by far far my favorite way to play and the most accurate way for me. I don't think I'm in the majority tho

edit: yes though you definitely want to turn sensitivity up in handheld

There was some issue with Unity that made it not work in Unity games (which is like most of the indie switch stuff) but either a dev or the unity official account tweeted something recently about how it works now in the newest version of the engine. Hopefully we'll see it in more games than not going forward

so i was sucking, stuck at C+ in splat zones, until i decided to just be obnoxious with the curling bomb launcher and the aerospray.

equipped as much special power up gear as i could get, a hat with tenacity and a bunch of ink resistance and i don't think i've lost a game since i equipped it. it's just great. stand back, play relatively defensively, and hit them with wave after wave of curling bombs. it's terrific

Usually it's a run killer for me because my loving idiot teammates immediately shoot every geyser near the basket, regardless of how much light there is (or, on occasion, even if we have already found the goldie) and then when we have found the goldie and shot a dozen eggs out of it, they will proceed to shoot the geysers open again immediately after they re-close rather than running any of the eggs to the basket.

yah. even on profreshional, a lot of people seem to not understand how it works and just open up every drat thing. having to fight off an army of kohoks while barely hitting the egg ratio is painful

After getting utterly crushed the first few times I played it, I’d been avoiding Splat Zones for weeks until the N-Zap ‘89 + Ink Resistance/Ninja Squid/Stealth Jump broke it open for me starting last night after Splatfest ended. I kind of fell apart on a bad run in Walleye Warehouse after getting to B tho.

I know this is old news for everyone by now, but I just bought the game and the low fps you get in the city hub feels really jarring. Wish they'd just lower the detail to keep it at 30fps. It's hard to appreciate the nice visuals when it feels like my console is dying.

It's no big deal since the game itself runs flawlessly, of course. It's just weird since Nintendo is usually so good about this stuff.

The hub is at 30 FPS. The gameplay is what's at 60 FPS.

It definitely doesn't feel like 30 FPS while docked. More like 20-25. I was honestly worried there was something wrong with my game till I googled it and saw people online complaining about it :shobon:

Do aerosprays share an animation with another weapon or are they just not included here for whatever reason?

Aerosprays count as shooters. So do all blasters.

Brushes and Rollers are considered to be in the same class.

I believe aerosprays use the splattershot animation, like other shooters.

If you just bought the game, there's a chance you were playing during a Splatfest (Friday night thru Saturday). The hub always gets laggy during splatfests I've noticed, there's a lot more going on than normal. The hub gets a special stage, lighting effects, more squids and such

If that's not the case though I have no useful advise sorry, never had enough lag in the hub to notice otherwise.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
The N-Zap 89 is too good. I don't think I'll ever move past it, and all these greyed out weapons I have yet to unlock can just gather dust for all I care.

If you can be arsed to swap the sd card in and out, you could always put the videos on a PC then upload them from there. It would be way better to have it built in though.
