Gave it another go. Game is well made but just not for me. Honestly don't know that I'll ever get into competitive mp games again. They just don't hold my already waning gaming interest at all.

Today I learned you can hit the gong in the ramen bowl, and it will chime. I then hit it about 30 times in that match.

I want to like this game because it seems good and fun but I can't get used to the controls (motion and handheld) and every match I've done I've missed 75% of my punches and just get grab spammed 
Maybe I'll like it a bit more in the full game vs AI where I may have a chance

I got my ass handed to me 3 games in a row LMAO. Still had fun though.
I had one guy trying to do this to me and spamming throws, which I broke with the dragon arm and then lasered him in the face. Over and over and over again, lol.
Man I just don't don't know about this game. It's fun and I love the characters but the controls both motion and non motion just feel so random and imprecise to me when you compare it to something like Smash Bros.
60 bucks is steep too for a game that's all about one thing (that I may or may not even like)

The ramin map is so good .
When it comes to 2v2, I really hate that map

2v2 is trash. As soon as one person goes down, that team has lost. Basically impossible to handle two opponents at once.
FFS How the fuck are you supposed to beat a Helix and Grabjara team. Helix just blocks everything you throw whilst the other guy constantly fucking grapples you.

Yeah every person I fought against just grabbed non-stop, it's so retarded.
I tried most of the characters but I couldn't get into Twintelle at all even though she has a great design.
I could only align with vanillas like Spring Man or Ribbon Girl sadly.
If it's not hard to counter, then what
This. Also I finally realized it's the best option against heavy weapon users lol
It's not fun to play against, he just said it

Curving slappamanders. They get past Helix's shield fairly easily

What kind of idiot goes double hammer with Mechanica??
Seems fine to me. As you said, it's easy to counter and decent players don't do it much because of the recovery.
I was asking what should be done about it lol...
I don't see it as an issue, so I'm curious.
A timer, a grab every twenty seconds or something like that
There is no reason to balance the game towards how a bunch of people who barely understand it play it.
I'm glad that people enjoy this game because my time with the game was poor.
Motion Controls moving didn't work at all for me and I could only block for the fraction of a minute. My punches never went in the direction I wanted to. Worked better with the joy cons as a controller but was not ideally either. A hybrid between these two would have been the best option so I'm baffled that it isn't an option.
I think in my 10-15 games I only won two matches and one where you hit the targets. In the two matches I won I don't what I made to win them. While the matches I lost can be contributed to a lack of skill I noticed how often times I got grabbed by my opponent when on my screen there grab went a meter or two besides me. On the contrary, I saw my grabs going right through my opponent. And it always felt like my opponents had a quicker recovery from their missed moves than me. And sometimes it would ignore my dash it favor of being hit.
Like I said, some of that probably results in a lack of skill but it never felt good to lose when I noticed especially the thing with a grab or bombs spawning right next to me.
I hope the game gets the community because it seems pretty good design wise but definitely not for me.

Nah, the blue hair one is the best alt
Tried to play with pro controller this time around. I didn't like it as much, although I understand it might be a better competitive option. It's just not as fun to me. I got thoroughly destroyed on my last match as an Helix against Twintelle. She grabbed so. damn. much, didn't have a chance to break the throw with a bunch. Looking forward to playing more when this lands!
That's sadly the usual definition for balancing, lol
I'm about the pink and purple and the default color scheme, not a fan of her other ones
Edit: missed the key phrase lol, sorry
Seems like lag issue for the most part though. I got those a few times today

That last round was the absolute worst one that I had. Everything bad that could happen, did. I was consistently put in lobbies with people way outside my skill level, I spent half the time fighting Headlok, so many Greninja's spamming grab - it was a headache inducing hour. I still kinda had fun, but it was a bit of a sour note to end things off on lmao.

And that's a wrap (ending with 92)
Can't wait for next week.
Not sure if I want to delete this, though (I still have the Splatoon 2 Testfire on my system).
