Is anyone playing the game handheld?

[Dan]

I mean, it's such a big part of the console; are you refusing because it'll mess with your control muscle memory?

I actually played on 3DS, so handheld may actually be my primary control method (however, Joy-Cons are pretty bad IMO so that may change).

 

[Fire Emblemier]

My gamecube adaptor hasn't arrived yet, so I'm just using Joycons for now. Switching between Handheld and docked. Honestly prefer playing in Handheld probably due to less input lag.

 

[Idon]

Yup.
Only while unlocking characters though.

Sadly im in a student room and theres only one TV and the rest of the people keep watching series and news so i am mostly stuck with it on handheld.

But i must say, im surprised this little thing can actually play the game so well. Even my roommates who usually plays Playstation and care about graphics are pretty impressed and are planning to buy Switch and Smash later on in the year, so yeah, a little bit more salary for Nintendo, thank me yay:3

I was but switched to a wired pro controller. I might end up getting a mayflash adapter or a wireless GC controller tho

I play in handheld mode, I don't have a TV to play on and personally I just love portable gaming so I really enjoy this way of playing. ^^

I play most of my games on the switch as a handheld, beats sitting in front of the tv

I'm really impressed with the handheld graphics, obviously it doesn't look as good but everything is still sharp and I haven't seen any lag even in 8 player smash

I work up to 14 hours a day walking, running, pushing, pulling and just lugging my large behind under the Florida weather...I play my Switch games in handheld mode because I want to be a big piece of flab on my bed, and Ultimate is no exception. Lawl.

I play it handheld.

I'm a handheld boy atm. It's pretty difficult at times depending on how I hold it. Literally can't play on my back without my wrist getting tired.

I may have to go to a controller at some point.

I have only used handheld mode when I was either out of the house or having to clean stuff (listening to the Smashing songs is an excellent way to enjoy cleaning)

Lay on your back, stand the Switch on its kickstand on your chest, support your head with some pillows, detach the Joy-Cons and hold them on your side... this actually sounds pretty epic haha; I may have to try it!

I do playing handheld a lot ! Because I can being on my computer and playing my switch at the same time, but I agree the TV mode is way more comfy

 

[Frost Ace]

Depends. I don't like playing with Joycons because it feels awkward, but since Im still unlocking characters i'll usually play with them while laying in bed. If i'm playing online, I wont chance it. Switches bad wifi + awkward handheld control? No thanks.

For anyone struggling or getting cramps in handheld, I HIGHLY recommend the Satisfye Pro Gaming Grip. Makes handheld feel like holding a controller, and relieves cramping. Hopefully this helps someone! https://satisfye.com/products/switch-grip-pro

I play it on handheld when I'm on break, and on console when I'm at home. The Gamecube controller is the best way to play, but using the double Joycons isn't so bad if you bring along the controller adapter.

 

[FirestormNeos]

I haven't played it in handheld yet (I ****ing hate how quickly my Switch's battery dies on me in that mode), but I did take the Switch out of the docket to make a ****ton of Miis.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

I only use handheld when someone else is using my TV or when I just want to play alone in my room.

 

[TheTrueBrawler]

I play handheld because I don’t have a choice 99% of the time. There are three TVs in my house, but I only have access to one TV on a consistent basis, and it has massive input delay.

 

[MinorLeagueJohn]

I commute via bus to and from work so being able to Smash on the go is a luxury. At home I'll dock it and use a Pro controller and it really doesn't throw me off too bad, maybe for a match or two.

 

[Marmotbro]

Handheld is my primary way of playing. I only dock when I'm playing locally. Mostly because i have a garbo TV that cuts off the edge of the screen. Just enough to be annoying. I can't see how many stocks people have left.
