    Haha! After the full hour of no games. I am starting my second match. Glad I didn't quit when the hour was supposedly up.

      Must be a time extention. Pretty sure last time it kicked me when I started a new round past the end of the hour. Not this time, Four games past the hour now for me.

        I used to Roller all the time.

        Now I Shield it up, cause it's too damn funny to Shield right as a Roller approaches.

        Something worth pointing out is that there was only a couple of days of lead-up to the original Testfire. It's possible that many people didn't know about it (somehow) and missed it. There were a couple of weeks this time for people to get ready and prepare. Plus, it's a holiday weekend...

        Bubbler is a crazy good special. You need to be ready to back off someone in squid if they might have it up... but it can't paint the world like the bomb spams can, or blow away the enemy team like the Wail.

        It's also worth noting that the second 6pm rolled around it started working which indicates that it was purely the amount of people trying to get in causing the issues Three Stooges style rather than anything Nintendo was doing on their side (like reducing server count or anything).

        They should have played it off as giving the wrong time, because at 4pm and on things are working great :)

        Seriously though, they should leave it up for at least 2 or 3 more hours. That would give you a better idea how things will be at launch Instead of forcing people into such a tiny window, it gives people the chance to spread out and join at their leisure. Which is how all multiplayer games are really.

        I know I wouldn't mind a remote/nunchuck control option, since it's probably the closest to KBAM you can get. Doubt it's happen unless there's something in the manual about it, haven't looked. I actually like the motion controls.

          You can change from motion controls to right stick in the menu (pressing +) in the weapon select screen. And the Pro controller will only be useable in the Battle Dojo (local 1v1 multiplayer)

          You know what else is cool? Enemy catches you and a teammate in Killer Wail, and right before it turns on, you Bubbler. And shoot them dead, and then it pushes you way back but you both live.

            Highest was 1321 with the Splatershoot Jr, blessed it may be.

            It's funny that people complain about Rollers, because I find it's the Splattershot Jr that wrecks people.

            I don't want to be "that guy" but I consistently scored 200+ more points than anyone and had a 9:1kd ratio. (games were 1000 to 1290p scored)

            I haven't been this good at a shooter in a long long time...

            Edit** and yes change your sensitivity to -2 or -2.5. It's stable and still allows quick 90 turns. If the enemy is behind you, squid away and require.

            Got to play a few rounds. Don't think it controls very good or gives you very good feedback about if you're hitting or not.

            I'll have to think about it.

            What, you mean if you're hitting an enemy in front of you with your shots?

            Roller gives extremely good feedback on that front. :P

            There's definitely little hit sound effects that occur when you shoot someone.

            A good roller is a scarey thing to fight. They should no longer just charge anymore, you gotta attack from the sides and from the ink like a shark now. If they get to you, you are done. Not to mention a splash can doublekill.

            It is very hard to pursue a roller because you have to ink his tracks or you get bogged down. I definitely recommend sticking with one as a bubbled roller is a gotdamned juggernaut.

            If you see them, just fight at distance, backtrack, and shoot their feet, and or roller. You'll gum them up because your ink lands behind their roller.

            Yes, by a considerable margin one way or the other. I like it between .5 and 1.5 personally, can't remember what I was using for most of the actual matches but I liked it.
