That match shouldn’t count, the guy blatantly couldn’t move at one point.

That right there is why you don’t spam grabs in ARMS.

Same here.

The screen with 3 long pieces on top of each other.

It’s no 8 player Smash Bros. but I wouldn’t call it boring.

I definitely would have done pretty well on the first 2. Wish they would get on with Splatoon already instead to talking to this incredibly annoying woman.

Hahaha! Awesome choice.

Love that one of the Pikachu players took the time to taunt. I suddenly really want to play this game again.

That Mario Kart T-Shirt is the best thing about this so far.

Yeah, got it at launch. The soundtrack is probably definitely my favourite thing about it.

Just made it to Back Roll King. Some very entertaining matches today indeed, and a few hilarious moments. Such a shame there’s still no video recording feature on Switch, would love to have saved some of those. Anyway, a couple of questions for you, N-E. First, anyone know what the deal is with the way points are awarded during Splatfest? I mean I get the the standard +2 for 400p inked, but when on the winning side, why do the victory points change between +5 +6 +7 etc...? And secondly, what’s with all of these players on Switch with ‘G&K’ in their username? There seems to be thousands of them! Not just in Splatoon either, but see them all the time in ARMS and MK8 as well. What in da hell is that all about?

Matchmaking seems much better this time, only had 1 back roll vs back roll match so far (surprised there are enough back roll players for that to even happen).

I am, yeah. Cheers.

Not an important one, I’m just trying to stay clear of anything regarding Super Mario Odyssey until launch (not an easy task these days) and while I have enough will power to avoid the thread for it, my eyes are automatically drawn to that posts section. No big deal (pretty sure nobody would post anything major without a spoiler tag anyway) I’d just like to avoid the possibility of seeing something like that potentially showing up there.

Yeah, I’ve been playing this too and also quite enjoying it. It’s pretty grindy and slow (especially at first) but once you unlock some of the upgrades and higher difficulty levels it picks up quite a bit. Digging the C64 style sid chip parts in some of the game's music as well.

I can't get enough of the Splatfest themes on Splatoon 2 at the moment, especially this one: So catchy! Looking forward to it playing later on during the the bog roll Splatfest. Another great tune that needs to be in here is... So good. Also really love this remix of it: But I don't think anything (this year, probably ever) is going to top this masterpiece though: Inexplicably good. Quite possibly my favourite piece of gaming music of all time, and the game isn't even out yet! I'm usually not a fan of vocals in VG tunes (music in general actually) but that track absolutely nails it. Blew me away the first time I heard it during E3 this year. Got very high hopes for the rest of Mario Odyssey's soundtrack too: Lovely stuff.

Must be missing something as clicking on that just reloads the forum for me.

IN!

Looks like we have a lack of players for both teams... Anyway, I'll be playing from 3pm today.

Does this newfangled forum have an option somewhere to hide the ‘posts’ section, or better yet, a way to stop posts from specific threads appearing in it? BTW, add me to the list of people that can’t see who thanked/liked stuff.

Haha! Oh man, 200cc + Frantic Items after 2 passive GPs was super intense! The no item/shroom only GPs actually had some close moments tonight too. Good stuff.

Completed Star World last night. Wasn’t too tricky apart from the black coins on the 8th stage, which took quite a few attempts. The gold pipe Special Course wasn’t what I was expecting, thought it was going to be an insanely tough stage like the black warp pipe, but it’s actually... Even if they don’t add anymore content in the future, Super Mario Run has been a fantastic and substantial game. Not sure of my exact playtime, but reckon it’s over 30 hours, which is way more than I was expecting to get out of it. I’ll still be playing the odd game of Toad Rally and Remix 10 from now on too.

Nice. It’s both hilarious and depressing that save data is more secure/transferable with Nintendo’s mobile games than on Switch. But yeah, cloud backup via my Nintendo is great. Used it several times with Miitomo and Fire Emblem too.

Finally made it! After a couple more 399 runs. Managed to collect 403 in the end. Now to complete Star World!

That’s a shame. The daftness is one of the main reasons I adore the Yakuza series, but yeah, clearly not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. At least you gave it a go.
