Is it weird that as someone who exclusively used stick controls in Splatoon 1, actually find the motion controls WAY better with the pro?

Team Ice cream got this in the bag! The only times I've lost by a massive gap is against another ice cream!

For those that felt motion control lag in splatfest a streamer that got the game early said that it isnt in the final review copy of the game.

I never said I preferred stick controls, I just couldn't stand moving around that clunky big controller that was the Wii U gamepad.

Hey at least I wasn't a charger main trying to use stick controls, now that would be quite something. *awkward giggle*

Aw man wish I didn't have to sleep, would have totally squaded with you guys. Anyway managed to hit 1850 in the EU Splatfest which I was happy about. I mean they didn't even have Sloshers in it so I didn't know what to use, just stuck with Roller most the time.

Damn, been busy the past few days. Glad to see people enjoyed the Splatfest though!

Thank goodness, not gonna have another 0-7 splatfest record! However the biggest takeaway from all this is the vastly improved netcode. In Splatoon 1, everything had like a .75 second delay before it actually happened, which is why you would get sniped behind walls, die to rollers even though you backed out of their ohko range, and people would swim through your ink you were trying to cut them off with. The prediction system was also extremely annoying when it came to ledges, as it would make it look like they fell off, but then teleport them back up because they actually didn't fall off.

Didn't see any of this in Splatoon 2, the game is overall much more precise n accurate now. Didn't have any slowdowns either, but the main culprits are bomb rush n rainmaker so this remains to be seen, but I'm confident it wont be an issue. If this is the result of the paid online, well I can't be too mad about it then. However, it certainly isn't perfect. During the American Splatfest, I was constantly being dropped from lobbys, and I don't mean from being timed out. It also took forever to find opponent's, so to finally get matched up only to dropped the second afterwards was very not cool. I'm sure they're aware of this and will improve it though.

Of course each players individual internet connection will always affect things no matter how good the netcode is. I did spot some teleporting players but that's clearly due to their internet and not Splatoon 2's online. It might also help that matchmaking is more region based now, as even during the Japanese Splatfest I played mostly with fellow westerners. Not sure if I like this though, as it may have been a reason for the really long wait times.

As for hitboxes, that's just you. :L

Anyway I'm looking for people to play arms against until 5pm est so
