Can you imagine combining that play style with the uncontrollable bike theme we did? Would be truly spectacular. Looks like it's possible to zoom the camera slightly when using the Toy-Con Motorbike handlebars, would've been cool if they added a 1st person view as well though.

The LED on my right Joy-Con has decided to no longer light up for some reason, it still connects and functions correctly but it's a bit annoying when using the Joy-Con grip as there's only 1 of those little green lights on the front now. Not a massive issue obviously, but I do miss the symmetry of it. I'm more concerned about the drifting problem on the left Joy-Con control stick, which is also starting to happen quite frequently on the right one now as well... Think I might finally invest in a Pro Controller soon, as what with control sticks moving by themselves, LED lights dying and the paint gradually wearing off their surface, I'm starting to get the feeling that my Joy-Con won't actually last the duration of the Switch's lifespan.

Yeah, I picked it up too and have to say this is one occasion where the Switch Tax is actually somewhat justified, the HD rumble effects are just superb! It's perfectly replicating the game's dynamic soundtrack via the rumble motors, it works incredibly well and massively enhances the overall experience. There's also an option to sync up a couple more Joy-Con and double the HD rumble goodness, but I've only got the one set so won't be able to try it out. Not sure where exactly you're supposed to put those other Joy-Con when using that particular feature though, anyone here know?

The main thing on that one is to have good timing on the trick shot, for returning his shots and avoiding the attacks. Being able to block without using Zone Speed is pretty handy too. I got it on my second attempt, although I never managed to block when he did a Zone Shot to the opposite side of his tentacle. I guess you need to trick shot over in advance and then block. But yeah, didn't make much difference anyway, as long as you're getting the ones he shoots directly at you and his standard shots it's doable without blocking the ones on the opposite side.

Amazing track, yeah. There are many great tunes in the game though, lots of candidates for Smash Ultimate. BTW, have either of you played Octo Expansion? If you like Ebb & Flow then there's a certain track in there which you definitely need to hear. Hehehe! I knew it. I thought the percentages were always there, but that's probably just me not paying attention.

OK, last game for me. Cheers though guys, it’s been fun. And not to mention much less stressful than playing with randoms.

Ah. Cool.

Everyone else d/c? Or is it just me again?

Got a feeling team No-pulp is doomed, team-pulp is pretty much nowhere to be seen. And as we all know by now, the popular choice never wins.

Yeah, I’m up to 812 after the Mario Tennis promotion.

There are options for that stuff, but just tucked away in the Free Play mode. When you create a room you can change it from Tiebreak to a 2 game match. You can also customise which stages are played. Not sure why they've set it up like that, but hey at least it’s there. I’ve just been playing some Free Play doubles matches with randoms, and it’s an absolute blast! Also, Daisy’s celebration animation is hilarious! I love how you can freely run about after each point again, and it’s even more fun in doubles.

It has improved slightly since the beta test, definitely still an issue at times though. Yeah, but unfortunately that connection strength indicator before matches doesn't always tell it like it is. There seems to be a weird glitch were I sometimes end up playing as a lefty for some reason too. We need to get some N-E games going at some point. Would love to try doubles with simple rules.

Ok.

Oh man, this ain't good: https://www.resetera.com/threads/some-hackers-start-putting-porn-on-their-switch-profile-pictures.50779/ Nintendo had better get hacked Switch systems off the network entirely before they introduce their paid online service.

@Glen-i, not exactly sure how you go about doing the scores with a disconnection/CPU combo but here's mine from before and after that D/C on last GP if it helps: 39 points and 3rd place from only 3 races, not bad.

Ah crap, and again! Sorry @Ike, but I’m gonna call it a day. Cheers for playing though.

Damn. Just got disconnected on this too. My internet be messed up today.

Hmm... Not enough of us for a private battle, so I'm just gonna jump into Turf War or Salmon Run. Anyway, feel free to join whenever.

Cool. Anyone else? Hell yeah.

@Glen-i @Sméagol @Nicktendo @Nintendo Fan @Ike @DuD @Helmsly Anyone up for some Splatoon in say 20 mins time?

Man, a lot of Spiny Shells around when the CPU racers are enabled! Gutted I got D/C'd before the 3rd race on the last GP, especially as it was Mario Circuit again. Oh well.

Nooooooooo! Got disconnected.

Banana in the tailpipe!

No intention of double dipping on this, but figured I’d check out the demo anyway. It looks great on Switch, but I am not a fan of the gyro pointer thing they got going on. When playing in docked mode, the cursor being on-screen all the time is horribly distracting and it’s just confusing trying to control that, the camera and Toad.
