Rabid Snake posted:Am I really going to be at a huge disadvantage if I switch off of motion controls? My head can't wrap around turning horizontally with motion controls. Having to reset the position just to do a 180 is annoying. I know you can use the stick but then if I'm using the stick to look left and right, it's hard to mix it up with the motion controls. You won't be at a huge disadvantage, but they're worth learning. Try doing a few stages in Octo Valley with them to get a little more familiar with how they work. It's a bit like patting your head and rubbing your tummy at first but I think you'll be surprised at how quickly they click. Also, how are you using the motion controls? Are you steering them like a car? Don't do that! The controller basically acts like a faux pointer device.

Maple Leaf posted:Is the gatling gun a bad choice in weapon? I'm not getting stellar results with it, but I think it's a weapon I want to learn. You don't need to charge it all the way to use it. You only need to get four hits to splat a squid and you can get that with very little charge. Feathering in close quarters also works That said, it's an amazing shutout weapon and you can use the sprinkler as a low-rent shield too! Just make sure you drop it ahead of time because it takes a ton of ink. e: Also! Shoot in front of where your target is trying to go. Once they're knee deep in your ink, the rest of your shots will take care of all the rest.

Maple Leaf posted:As a Heavy Splatling enthusiast, I've found that it sucks for Turf and it isn't amazing at Splat Zones. Some weapons are just better at different scenarios and levels. When the object of the game is to cover as much ground with ink as possible (in the case of turf war/splatfests/Splat Zones), having a weapon that either fires far but in a straight line, or fires in a wide cone but very shallow, you're going to be at a disadvantage compared to weapons that fire in cones and at mid ranges (and are therefore not great at getting kills). The reason why the Splatling sucks in Turf War is that it's kind of a win-more weapon. If you can get on the bridge on The Reef or the tower in Art Academy or whatever, then congrats, you win, but if you CAN'T get there, then you have no way of pushing your way in.

I did a bit of impromptu and extremely unscientific testing with how Object Shredder interacts with the Brella shield. Without Shredder, it took four (!!!) full Charger shots to take out the shield. With Shredder, it only took two. Double damage against the Brella shield seems pretty nice, but there's no telling whether people will keep using the Brella or not, and even if they do, you can always lob a grenade or a bucket full of ink over it instead.

Super Space Jam 64 posted:I'm struggling to wrap my head around motion controls as it's pretty clear they're vastly superior to right stick aiming if you master them. Any tips on sensitivity settings for portable/controller mode, or general nuances to the control? Should I be using Y for larger camera swings or relying on the right stick? Sensitivity settings will depend on the weapon you use the most. Long range weapons like squelchers and chargers feel pretty good at -2.5 motion to me, while the default -1 feels pretty good for close-range weapons like the splattershot. A lot of people will suggest you treat the controller like a school bus steering wheel to aim, and while it's a useful analogy, I like to think of it as a pointer that you aim with both hands. Use your wrists for the fastest and most precise results. You might also try playing with the joycons detached. Some people here swear by it.

bizarre deformity posted:Sure, as long as it isn't just git gud Naw, I wouldn't do that. Anyway! Here are way too many words about the Squiffer: Like other chargers, knowing your best spots on each map is really important, but because the Squiffer has shorter range, the spots that other chargers can work from won't work. Instead, go for these: -Literally any long corridor or choke point, but watch out for Squelchers and Rapid Blasters; -Areas with wide-open flat ground, like the two courts in Port and the central courtyard in Academy. When defending yourself from attack, take advantage of your quick charge speed and funnel the attacker into one path. If they try to swim through it to get closer, you'll know exactly where they are and exactly where to shoot. Good players won't fall for this, but most players aren't good. The Squiffer is very strong on flat ground, and it's okay on higher ground but it can't take advantage of that as much as longer-ranged chargers. Because of the Squiffer's shorter range, you'll have to move through lower ground a lot, and this is where the Squiffer is weakest. You're essentially blind to any enemy coming at you from higher ground, and you lack any means of attacking them while they can rain shots down on you from above. It's a geometry problem. Especially dangerous areas for you include: -At the bottom of any central hill, like in Shipyard or Musselforge; -Defending against the side paths leading onto the central zone in Mainstage; -At the foot of any ledge, like those that lead up to Mainstage or surround the courtyard in Academy. You can mitigate a lot of the risk by keeping these areas at your maximum range, but sometimes that isn't an option. Thankfully, you have a tool for just these situations! If you think an attack is coming from a place like these, toss out a Point Sensor. If anyone decides to hop down and come after you (and they will), you'll see them coming, and you can be ready for them. The Point Sensor is also great for blind corners and big chunks of enemy ink. Use it liberally, because you can still squeeze a few shots out after using it. The Squiffer is actually pretty adept at laying down ink. Take advantage of that by stacking a bunch of Special Charge Up abilities and enjoy having four or five Ink Armors per match. Finally, practice your snap shots! The majority of your splats are going to come from those. You can practice them by going into the test room, getting in the middle of all the dummies, and getting used to making those quick snaps between random targets while incorporating as much movement as you can keep up with.

bizarre deformity posted:Is there a chart that shows the effects of the abilities? Like the difference in effectiveness between main/sub abilities, how the special power ups affect each special, etc. Actually, what I just said last post is incredibly bad and wrong! According to this page https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/Special_Power_Up you can get more than two extra seconds of Ink Armor with three Special Power Up mains. That's still a heavy commitment, but it could be worth it. I'm still gonna run with Tenacity and Special Charge Up, though.

Tempura Wizard posted:Gimme a good build to use with the Classic Squiffer. I'm finally getting a feel for it and might make it my main, but want to know good abilities for it beyond the usual useful stuff (run, swim speed up). What's some good stuff to consider? Anything with lots of Special Charge Up or Tenacity will be good because Ink Armor is an amazing special weapon. Beyond that, consider Ink Resistance Up since you'll be pretty close to the thick of things, as well as either Ink Saver Sub or Sub Power Up because you'll need your Point Sensor to keep from getting jumped. Ink Recovery Up is also good, as it is on everything.
