Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

They changed maps after 2 hours??

Yup, they switched it to a normal rotation and it's the newer, faster rotation. It changed to Humpback Pump Track and Moray Towers pretty much right after you left.

*EDIT* The stage change kicked everyone to the menu, so I figured it was a good time to wrap up.

Aww man... we shoulda started an hour later then!

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I did, it was really good. I still cant believe how much they got away with.

Same here. Especially that ending....

 

[Aurane]

For Buzz, I imagine he'll use some wing attacks, his Karate Chop Action (tm), and his laser.

For Woody, I think he'll use kicking moves (the guy's got long legs, he should put them to use), a lasso, and maybe a Snake in a Boot (the little spring loaded shoe that shot out a snake from Toy Story 2).

Or they could throw Luxo Balls.

Like hell I waited this long for Toy Story in Kingdom Hearts just to see Woody throwing balls at enemies.

Why am I even here

 

[AmericanDJ]

Is it saying something when I've had moments where a player on my team disconnects yet my team still wins?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Did the gang break up when I left?

I think the gang broke up at 8 when they changed the stages. When I came back, the room wasnt open anymore

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

We have an intro to the Big Hero 6 cartoon.

Looking forward to see how this plays out.

 

[Coricus]

. . .Hahahahahahaha Team Ice Cream was a mistake.

I expect a lot of squids getting a rude awakening about the nature of Splatfests and a Pikachu smiling smugly from underneath a layer of frosting by the morning.

Ah well, just gotta keep picking myself up off the floor. . .like ice cream.

Why was it a mistake, Do your teams suck ****?

 

[praline]

Well we did lose every match against team cake.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Well we did lose every match against team cake.

Ive lost more matchs to other Team Ice Creams then Cakes because Ive fought more Ice Cream then Cake

 

[A Distant Demon]

Splatfests are pretty much always reverse popularuty contests because of how scoring works

Cake has a decent chance if winnibg at worst

 

[Coricus]

Why was it a mistake, Do your teams suck ****?

The Ice Cream overload is still in effect to a large degree and Cake wins more than it loses. . .and when it does win, it's typically by stomps.

Eaten together, this falls under the physics of what is known as "Conservation of Ninjitsu." Turns out Ice Cream is so good that our sheer numbers likely shifted reality against us. Or at least that's how I'm aware the trope works.

Cale will win cause even if they have like 30ish% they have all the better players.

This last round of SFV is not proceeding smoothly. Lol.

I wouldn't put any money down on it, but maybe there's something going on? The big stage, with a surprise TV broadcast? The way a few big figures in the Smash community have acted as if they know something about the Switch that we don't?

I've had a theory for a while that a few people know of a Switch version's existence but not its set reveal date. Maybe we're about to walk right into it.

pretty sure that happend with cats and dogs. cats was like Cakes but in the end, dogs won

And all was right in the world.

Things I noticed about Splatoon 2:
It's ****ing beautiful.
The minute remaing music for the splatfest and the losing music aren't as good as the first game.
The death laser super move is so much faster now.
Everyone seems to panic when they are in the radius of the sky drop super

 

[Schnee117]

SonicFox just got 3-0'd out of Injustice 2.
The EVO streak is over.

 

[ChikoLad]

Oh yeah, Splatoon 2.

Not much I can really say about it, it's one of those "I had fun but in a mindless way" cases.

My only real criticism is that the special for the sniper feels jank. Like it straight up feels like they didn't finish it's hitboxes or something. I can't seem to aim it while firing and half of the time, even when I'm hitting a surface or an enemy very clearly, it doesn't register a hit.

And to be honest the sniper in general feels a little awkward, I think that's got to do with the third person perspective thing (most games shift to first person when using a sniper scope, even if they're otherwise third person). Not a huge deal really but I normally like using a sniper in these kinds of games, so a shame I don't enjoy it much here.

Also I didn't experience this personally, which is kind of amazing considering my track record with Nintendo's online games, but people have been complaining about connection issues, and the game will ban you for a bit if you keep getting disconnected (complete with a pretty annoying way of telling you about it). That needs to be fixed up for the full game.

Overall experience was fun though and I wish I could play a little more in this demo, but it's not day one buy fun so I'll wait until a more opportune time to pick it up.

If it happens, run from this thread.

Because you know the **** will fly.

Well, depending on the reveal.

splat charger doesnt have a scope


scoped chargers are a different version of the weapon, but putting a second cgarger would have been too confusing so it wasnt in the demo.

Gonna organize my thoughts and post in a sec about the demo.

 

[ChikoLad]

I know, but IMO they should just make the scope accessible on the default version.

It's clearly supposed to be a long ranged rifle weapon so they may as well go the full way with it. Either that or just make it so the scopeless version functions without a charge, which is how most games do it.

Also unrelated, but there may be a distant hope for you after all.

Alright, managed to get 3 matches in after work before they pulled the plug....

Went 3-0!...One was against Team Cake, so you can't say I'm not doing my part...Last match I got 5 KO's as well, here I am pulling my weight even though I only just started playing lol...

Had fun though...Was a bit bummed all three matches I got were on Moray Towers since I wanted to play on the new map...

After Crash 1, I never want to see a tightrope bridge again.

I love the Switch as much as the next guy, but no way it'll run KH3 unless it takes some serious downgrades.

It's still a weak console.

This is the best thing to come out of EVO.




For those not in the know, Fatality is sponsored by YouPorn and was one match away from a top 8 spot and a broadcasting on the Disney channel.

Completely agree.

I mean I'll be happy for the people who only have a Switch and want to play the game, but I'd be preparing myself for a sub par port if I were them.

I have already experienced some notable frame drops in Breath of the Wild and the Dragon Quest Heroes demo seemed capped at like, 20 FPS with drops, and there weren't even that many enemies on screen. KH3 would require some real wizardry and compromising to work on Switch.

Hell, even on PS4 and PS4 Pro, Square Enix's big games have had poor optimisation. 0.2 BBS had this problem too, so if Square can't get things going smoothly on those, I don't have faith in getting them to work on Switch.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

**** man, how many cigs did Dr. girlfriend smoke in Venture Bros. To get a voice that deep?

 

[Blargg888]

Aw. I missed the Splatfest.

I was hoping to play it, but I completely forgot about it.

I would like that, personally. I've been revisiting the timeline of Smash 4 recently, and it's been fun to relive some of the moments from then. Listening to the soundtrack, watching the trailers, a lot of things really.

Rewatching the trailers, I think I'd say that the Megaman, Duck Hunt, Robin, Cloud, and Roy trailers are my top 5 favorites.

That's hilarious.

 

[Gulti]

So KH3 is going to be released next year.

I don't know if I should be happy that it's almost arriving, or that people can finally stop the jokes that KH3 is never going to be released.

 

[A Distant Demon]

. . .but you can. Just not in the splatfest Demo

Splatterscope is literally the Splat charger with a scope (and like 1 extra unit of range because all scopes give extra range for some reason). Same sub, same special, same everything. But putting 2 chargers would be dumb.
"Switch version possible"


I believe this is the best time to use this gif

The amount of hype from me if we get a Switch version would be immense. Just the fact it's been mentioned is too much for my brain to handle.

Must go into full pessimism mode. Not possible. Too much for the swtich to handle. Already too many sunk costs




Okay now to Splatoon 2

• Love the splatfest concert. Feels hype after mssing 1's concerts.
• Lobby is much much worse. No minigame while you wait is painful. Squid Jumo made lobby fun
• Not being able to change weapons while in lobby is still unacceptable. Mario Kart 8 fixed it, but not Splatoon. Real shame.
• Gameplay is still spectacular, and the game's gimmick is still S-tier
• Only showing kills and specials over turf Inked is extremely confusing. I could understand for Tower Control and Rainmaker, but Turf War is ALL ABOUT TURF INKED. really weird
• I am terrible at chargers, but I think I have a chance this time around. Got some nice shots out
• Dualies are great.The movement options are great, and anyone with great combat skills and great positioning will be unable to lose.
• Now Roller fling is really neat. Adds some dynamics to the weapon and gives more options to good players, and forces some players to make different commitments. I love it, but worry about chargers outranging things that should have an easy range victory.
• The gym level is a really fun level. I think it might be horrible for balance though with a brief touch on it, and I hope it doesnt have Tower Control or rainmaker in it. Just turf War and Splat zones
• Moray Towers rails are neat. Single players like sponges and Rails (both confirmed) was my most wanted thing for this game, so seeing them is great, and I like the new options you get.
• Don't like the stage level much in Turf War. Im interested for other modes, but as is it feels like the Apartments with less movement options and bigger. Not a fan at all.
• New Supers are cool. Especially a fan of Tenta missles. Sting Ray seems. . .terrible? Maybe it's good at taking down a tower, but as is it's a low damage, low speed, low mobility attack. meh
• Music is good, but hearing the same song for 4 hours straight is tiring.

That's about all I need to say. Not like it's anything new to me since i played 1, but just random things. Excited to buy it soon.

 

[BandanaWaddleDee]

Yo my boy Krillin putting in work in Super.

Spoiler

He got two assists. One with Roshi and one with 18. He also got one kill and saved 18 from falling. Put on some work before he got eliminated.

 

[Schnee117]

Dragon won Injustice 2 EVO with TridentRushman
The chip damage is so stupid

At least Flash got second and Honeybee played well.

God dammit no Starfire.

Well the music we heard is only for the splatfest, just like in the original. There'll be multiple songs for non-splatfest battles.

actual stats

47% to 53% winrate lol
76% ice cream votes 24% cake votes L O L


Looks like popularity has a bigger effect this time, so that's nice. maybe they fixed the problem, but we'll see how things unfold


EDIT LOL NEVERMIND

it's popularity Plus two win scores. I cant even read

 

[Wario Bros.]

That Splatfest was great. If I had one complaint, 90% of my matches were against my same team.

I only manage to do a team play once but was fun'.

Now fo dat full game.
