Jump (not straight up) while shooting.

I kept forgetting that you could roll so for the 3 matches I tried using them they were just a shittier version of the splattershot. I don't think dualies are for me

I'm bad with them but after a little practice I could see the potential... and a lot of situations where if someone had've used that dodge roll better I'd have been splatted and not them.

They're fun but I'll probably stick with something like the nzap for turf war and something like the .96gal for ranked.

I think it's the splattershot pro in that pic.

Oh yeah I see the potential, I'm just too busy trying to eek out some semblance of aiming to add another button to the mix. You're going to win most of your ambushes regardless of weapon, and the dodge roll helps with 1v1s so it's pretty solid

I had a match facing off against a good duely user. I was mostly playing splattershot so I had distance advantage, but he'd occasionally double-dodge towards me to immediately close the gap and out-damage me. I'd hate to go against someone who gets really good at that.

I find something genuinely cute about players who you can tell just found the roll button.

I had one guy take me on and he just... rolled. He was firing but missing literally every shot while rolling *loving everywhere*. I put him down as he was a danger to those around him at the time but still. :allears:

Something I really like in Splatoon 2 is that when you get splatted "This Way" changes to "Ouch!" so you can let your guys know there's someone running around behind them claiming turf.

Agreed, that's a really nice change. At least twice a teammate said "Ouch," letting me know that we were getting flanked and I should expect trouble behind me. The fact that you're told where they say Ouch or This Way is a huge plus.

I never played Splatoon 1, but I really liked this splatfest. I could only use the roller to any real degree, and that's only because people never check behind themselves. I didn't even understand the sniper rifle. The dualies and smg were fine but I still felt mostly useless.

Looking forward to buying it on Friday so I can continue to not understand the basics!

There's something hilarious about a roller running straight at you far from the front, refusing to diverge despite you just dumping in his face.

Pro tip: If you're rolling towards someone who has seen you and they have a ranged weapon, if they have half a brain they're gonna back up and shoot you unless you're right on top of them.

Also: If this splatfest was representative of anything, I think that the roller's vertical spray might be the most lethal move in their arsenal. Its raw damage is really good and its range is... deceptively far.

EU and US splatfests shared results. Makes sense considering it was the same match up.

splatoon 2 thoughts from someone who didn't play the testfire but played a lot of splatoon 1 and this solatfest

duelies i like the idea of but they haven't clicked with me yet. i'd kinda rather have a jump than a roll. we'll see how that shakes out. missiles are a fun special to use if a little toothless.

i really don't like the roller vertical fling. i never felt like range was that big of an issue for rollers and now it just makes it harder to hit with a fling. i sincerely hope they have more traditional rollers in the full game. wasn't fond of the curling puck bomb, i'd rather just a normal splat bomb. splashdown i never really found a use for but also didn't hear until after the demo was over that you could use it mid super jump. will reevaluate later. as is the roller was kind of a wash.

splattershot was my go to for the demo. reliable, known quantity weapon. jet pack i initially thought was pretty weak but i quickly became a monster with it. frequently when i'd start flying someone on the enemy team would too and i'd just air shot them. felt great. would definitely use this set more in the full game.

didn't use charger because lol chargers

it's super cool that friends on the same team can party together for splatfests now. that was one of my major complaints about the first game. hopefully in the full game you will eventually be able to be a squad of 2 like you could in comp because i can't always swing a team of 4.

stages were alright. pretty basic and nothing to really write home about. i'd say humpback was the most noteworthy one. i was initially very skeptical about it because it felt so big but as i got more used to it it didn't feel so daunting anymore.

anyway good game, looking forward to picking it up

suck it team cake

Especially true since they were so ridiculously lethal compared to their sorry state by the end of Splatoon 1.
Man did I miss good splat bombs. The splat bomb barrage super used to be enough of a no-brainer for me to invest heavily in throwing range gear.

Maybe it's just me but the roller vertical flick made it super easy to pick off jet pack specials and tag retreating foes.

E; It's also likely a nerf against the ol dynamo roller wall of death

Aww I forgot to join the Splatfest. Still, I did the tutorial and it seems pretty fun. Don't have a Wii U so never played the first but it always looked neat. Will probably grab it.

I imagine the motion controls are probably very good to use once you get used to them but I flicked them off anyway for now.
