Nintendo ha appena lanciato il Global Testfire di Splatoon 2 (praticamente una beta pubblica del gioco) per Nintendo Switch, scaricabile dall'eShop, che sarà giocabile fino a domani 26 marzo. Vediamolo giocato nella Nintendo Threehouse per più di un'ora.   Splatoon 2 è una delle esclusive più attese per Nintendo Switch, la nuova console di Nintendo, soprattutto in Giappone, dove il primo episodio, uscito su Wii U, è ancora amatissimo e giocato.

00:00:12Grazie a tutti i scienze e squid lovers!

00:00:14È difficile di credere che più di due anni ha passato

00:00:16da cui abbiamo fatto prima l'examination

00:00:18del misterioso cephalopodico

00:00:20qui a Squid Research Lab.

00:00:22Research ha indicato che terf war

00:00:24è la più popolare sport di questi inklings.

00:00:27Ma il loro fashion, tecnologie, e altre trend

00:00:30ha evolvuto.

00:00:31Credo che il nostro risultato

00:00:32ciò che ci sarà molto più difficile

00:00:33questo anno e più,

00:00:34a Splatoon 2 lanciare

00:00:40e in-game eventi.

00:00:41Oh, e per oggi

00:00:43sto facendo importanti risultati

00:00:45e posso confermare

00:00:47che Splatoon 2

00:00:48non è liberato

00:00:49per i limiti

00:00:50di televisioni.

00:00:51Per ora,

00:01:56Il migliorno

00:01:57ha incontro,

00:01:59Il

00:02:21migliorno del

00:02:23mondo

00:02:24in Splatoon.

00:02:26You're going to shoot,

00:02:27which is going to be something used

00:02:29to take out your opponents in Turf War,

00:02:32but also it's going to allow you

00:02:34for mobility, the ability to hide

00:02:35and move quickly as you duck into that.

00:02:37You can see right here, I'm just going to go ahead and use up my ink.

00:02:39Again, we know a lot of people know Splatoon,

00:02:41but a lot of people probably don't.

00:02:44I'm using up all my ink here,

00:02:45and I'm out of ink, and the way to refill my ink

00:02:47is to duck into Squidform

00:02:50and fill it right back up.

00:02:52In Turf War, we want to cover as much

00:02:53of the ground as possible in our ink color.

00:02:55So as you were saying, we can actually

00:02:58get some ink on the walls, on other surfaces

00:02:59to help us move around, but it's only the ground

00:03:02cover that's going to count.

00:03:03Right. Splatting your opponents is important,

00:03:05you know, and fun.

00:03:07But like you said...

00:03:08And real quick, if you guys are playing at home,

00:03:12you've got four weapon sets to choose from,

00:03:13but if you want to, before you jump right in,

00:03:15you've got control options you can do if you want.

00:03:17I actually can't see what...

00:03:19The X over there?

00:03:21Yeah.

00:03:21Bottom right?

00:03:23Yeah, plus button will...

00:03:24So, plus button, sorry, you guys can pop this up.

00:03:27So these are options that are available to you

00:03:29if you participate in the test fire this weekend.

00:03:32Yeah, so before you hop in, take a second,

00:03:33make sure you have it how you like it.

00:03:35You can turn motion control on or off,

00:03:36you can change the sensitivity of the different axes,

00:03:38you can lock colors, which is really cool.

00:03:40It'll sort of lock the ink colors.

00:03:42Right.

00:03:42If you are a colorblind player, it's super useful

00:03:44because it'll make sure the two colors you're looking at...

00:03:46Make sure everything's easy to see.

00:03:47Yeah, really distinctly.

00:03:47We're going to be using the motion controls on

00:03:49the whole time we're playing.

00:03:50That's how we like to roll.

00:03:51Yeah.

00:03:51And let's get going.

00:03:52Four options.

00:03:53So you're going to start with...

00:03:54I'm going to start with the Splat Doolies.

00:03:56Let's do it.

00:03:56Doolies.

00:03:57So these are brand new,

00:03:58and we've shown them off a little bit,

00:03:59but I'm guessing we've got some folks watching

00:04:01who haven't had a chance to do Doolies in action yet.

00:04:03Yeah.

00:04:03Out of the four options for weapon sets that you can choose,

00:04:08this is the one main weapon that was not included

00:04:11in the original Splatoon.

00:04:15So with the Splat Doolies, I think one of the great things

00:04:17about them is they really give you this maneuverability,

00:04:20the ability to...

00:04:21You move pretty quickly while holding them,

00:04:24but also, as Morgan will demonstrate,

00:04:27one of their coolest features is while shooting on the run,

00:04:31you have the ability to do a dodge roll that you can do

00:04:36in kind of any direction.

00:04:38So, you know, encounter an opponent, start inking away,

00:04:42and then, you know, once you get some pushback,

00:04:44you just dodge out of the way and keep it up.

00:04:46You can do that twice in a row, which is really cool.

00:04:50And also mentioning for folks who maybe played a lot of Splatoon

00:04:53already, all the specials are new in this game.

00:04:56So we're going to be showing off a lot of brand new stuff here,

00:04:58and it's really interesting, I think,

00:05:00how that changes up the gameplay.

00:05:02I know personally, as a player, I tend to be all about ground coverage,

00:05:05and I just want to, like, lay out as much ink as possible.

00:05:07Research does show that, you know, efficient ground coverage

00:05:11is the quickest way to victory in Turf War.

00:05:13And like we were saying earlier, you know,

00:05:15splatting your foes is important and fun.

00:05:18But the only way you're going to win in Turf War is if,

00:05:21at the end of the match, you have more ground covered with your ink

00:05:24than your opponent's ink.

00:05:26Yeah, and I know here in the Treehouse we've got some players

00:05:28who definitely take a more aggressive kind of PvP approach,

00:05:31and they're the guys who are going to be protecting you

00:05:33as you make that ground cover happen.

00:05:35They're the folks who are going to be sniping your opponents,

00:05:37taking them out, and causing the delay on the other side of the team

00:05:40for them to actually get the ink covered.

00:05:41It's always good to have somebody on the team that, you know,

00:05:44is going to be taking care of that type of action.

00:05:48That's what I love about Turf War is, you know,

00:05:51if you're a player who is new to the game and just wants to focus

00:05:54on inking the ground.

00:05:54Oh, we've almost got a full lobby here.

00:05:55Oh, we've got some books here.

00:05:56Keep going, keep going.

00:05:57I'm getting excited.

00:05:57I'm here.

00:05:58No, you're ready to go.

00:05:59But, you know, what's great is you don't have to be somebody

00:06:03who is, you know, going to take out the entire team.

00:06:07Right.

00:06:07You can focus on ink and ground and you're still performing.

00:06:09And the match can change dramatically like throughout the whole time,

00:06:12which we'll talk about a little bit.

00:06:13So, you know, we're playing here.

00:06:15We're showing you guys.

00:06:15Some of you guys are probably playing while you've got this.

00:06:17Maybe you've got this stream on your second screen.

00:06:19Yeah.

00:06:19Maybe you're just watching this.

00:06:20We're going to try to do a combination of trying to win

00:06:22but also spread a little knowledge.

00:06:24Right.

00:06:24So, again, I've got the squat duallys here.

00:06:26And what I want to show off really quick is, so, you know,

00:06:28I've got my jump button here.

00:06:30Yep.

00:06:30I'm just jumping like a normal inkling does.

00:06:32If I'm shooting with the duallys, I'm shooting like an inkling does.

00:06:35Yep.

00:06:35If I press the jump button while shooting, you can see that,

00:06:39yeah, with the direction, you do like this quick roll.

00:06:42Yeah.

00:06:42You can do two of those in a row.

00:06:44You can.

00:06:45So, I ran out of ink showing that.

00:06:47So, I can actually do two of those.

00:06:49And it'll work forwards and backwards as well.

00:06:50Yeah.

00:06:51I can go all sorts of directions.

00:06:53And once I get into some, a little more, you know, stressful situation,

00:06:56hopefully with some enemies to spoil, I'll show how that works.

00:06:59And I will say, I know that's one of Bill Trinden's favorite moves.

00:07:01He's really into being an aggressive player and kind of like using that role

00:07:04to sneak up behind somebody and take them out.

00:07:06So, he's great to have on your team.

00:07:07If you're like, I'm just going to cover the ink, you handle taking up the players.

00:07:10And I also got a new sub weapon.

00:07:11Check out this curling bomb.

00:07:12So, I'm going to drop one of these.

00:07:13Oh, I love this.

00:07:14Whoosh.

00:07:14Our Canadian Splatoon Research Associates may be very happy to see that.

00:07:19I don't think that dude even saw me.

00:07:21Uh-oh.

00:07:22I used my curling bomb.

00:07:23Let me throw another one.

00:07:24I used actually the.

00:07:25Nice.

00:07:26So, you can kind of follow it in its wake.

00:07:28The great thing.

00:07:28But another cool thing about the curling bomb.

00:07:30Sorry.

00:07:30I'm really into the curling bomb.

00:07:31I'm so fired up.

00:07:32So, check this out.

00:07:33When I hold the trigger, I can kind of precook it a little bit and then throw it.

00:07:35And instead of going way out there, it does it a little shorter,

00:07:38so you can use that to sort of clear out areas.

00:07:40And next time you do that, folks who are watching,

00:07:43take a look at the top of the curling bomb he's holding.

00:07:45That's where you're going to see that indicator changing to show you,

00:07:48okay, it's getting loaded up.

00:07:49It's ready to.

00:07:50You can let it go at whatever point you want to.

00:07:52Alright, so I just checked my turf map.

00:07:53You know, I'm pressing the X button to bring up my turf map.

00:07:55You know, we're on the switch so we don't have the gamepad to use the turf map.

00:07:57But you just tap X and you can bring it right up.

00:07:59And you can keep playing while you see it.

00:08:01So, once you get used to toggling that on and off,

00:08:03the turf map is just as useful as it's always been.

00:08:06Okay, check this out.

00:08:07Check this out.

00:08:07So, my special inkjet.

00:08:09Once I fire it off, I need you guys to take over.

00:08:11Okay, it's ready.

00:08:11I'm near the enemy territory.

00:08:13I'm going to use it.

00:08:14Ready to go.

00:08:15Alright, so.

00:08:16I think your back actually comes here on this.

00:08:17Oh no, I'm back on my own.

00:08:17I got confused about the colors.

00:08:19It's alright.

00:08:20So, what's happening here?

00:08:21Morgan's got the inkjet going.

00:08:22He's elevated and he's able to shoot really far,

00:08:24get a really good look at the terrain.

00:08:26Also worth mentioning though,

00:08:27that he's very vulnerable while he's up in the air.

00:08:29So, it's something you want to be very thoughtful about deploying.

00:08:32You want to make sure you're somewhere that you're safe

00:08:33or you've got some teammates looking out for you

00:08:35so you can enjoy that extra point.

00:08:38You splatted Mario.

00:08:40Yeah, if you guys are playing and you see SRL in your game

00:08:43and you're test firing, that's us.

00:08:45You're helping us with research.

00:08:46Maybe just wave and say hi.

00:08:47There may be some other associates out there who don the SRL.

00:08:50Oh, I got it.

00:08:51Taking heat.

00:08:52Oh, no, no.

00:08:53I will not be splatted until I show off the true way to use the inkjet.

00:08:59A little bit about the stage that we're currently playing on here.

00:09:03This is Muscle Forge Fitness.

00:09:08Our research that we've been able to do so far,

00:09:11it's been pretty recent development,

00:09:13but we've been able to determine that this is a place

00:09:16the Inklings and Jellyfish, other residents of Inkopolis

00:09:20Alright, it's my final push.

00:09:22I'm using my inkjet.

00:09:23I'm using my inkjet to fly into enemy territory for my final push.

00:09:26But it's also a big site for turf war, as you can see.

00:09:29Oh, I think blue got this.

00:09:29That makes sense.

00:09:30I mean, this is a very active sport.

00:09:32Oh, yeah.

00:09:33If you're an inkling, you've got to stay fit.

00:09:34That's right.

00:09:34Victory.

00:09:34I'm going to use the capture button to make sure I grab that for later.

00:09:37Let's see how I did on my team.

00:09:38That is important to mention, actually.

00:09:40Force Science Peer Review is very important.

00:09:42So use your screenshot button.

00:09:43Oh, look at that.

00:09:43I was third place on my team, but pretty respectable.

00:09:4515, 16, 18.

00:09:46I'm going to grab a capture of that as well.

00:09:48I'm really looking forward after the test cards

00:09:50and actually taking a look at screenshots that folks have gotten from this.

00:09:53I think there's going to be some really cool stuff coming out.

00:09:56Alright, we're going to exit so that we can change our weapon set.

00:10:00and hand this over to Sam.

00:10:04There's so much to talk about about each of these new weapon sets that we're going to ramble a little

00:10:09bit

00:10:09because we're trying to win these matches and stay in the turf war and not get splatted.

00:10:12But we're also trying to deliver.

00:10:14Oh, nice.

00:10:15Look at you.

00:10:16Thank you, Yoshika.

00:10:16You got a nice little squid logo for your victory up there.

00:10:21Thank you, Yoshika.

00:10:23Off to a good start for the SRL.

00:10:25Okay.

00:10:26Looks like we're facing off against some Japanese players.

00:10:29What time is it in Japan right now?

00:10:30It's like 4 in the morning.

00:10:314 in the morning.

00:10:32Dedicated splatters.

00:10:33Early birds over there.

00:10:34This is a global test fire, so we've got European players too.

00:10:37It's around midnight there, I think.

00:10:39I think it's like 8 p.m.

00:10:41Or 8 p.m., sorry.

00:10:43Yeah.

00:10:44All right.

00:10:44So we're just going to wait for a couple more folks to join us.

00:10:48Yeah.

00:10:48Actually, while we're waiting here, it'd be worth talking about the different equipment that we can use

00:10:51as we're engaged in our cephalopod studies because we're using the Pro Controller here.

00:10:54That's true.

00:10:55That's one option, but that's certainly not the only way we can play this game.

00:10:57Research can also be performed with the Joy-Con controllers.

00:11:01It feels really good in the grip, actually.

00:11:03And you can do field research with this by taking your Switch on the go.

00:11:07I believe Cory's on the road somewhere right now.

00:11:09Yeah, out in the wild.

00:11:10Some research.

00:11:11Oh, I'm in.

00:11:12That's going to be, I think, a kind of groundbreaking thing for a lot of Splatoon fans,

00:11:17is the ability to play Splatoon anywhere you want.

00:11:20Yeah, if you guys are doing research right now, if you're actually playing the test fire,

00:11:24get on Twitter, share us your thoughts.

00:11:27We've got two Octothorps we're using today.

00:11:29We're using Splatoon 2 and Octothorp Test Fire.

00:11:32Yep.

00:11:34In layman's terms, that's a hashtag, I believe, but we like to call them off.

00:11:38Oh, right, yeah.

00:11:39So my weapon's a classic.

00:11:41Folks who played Splatoon are going to be familiar.

00:11:43Yeah.

00:11:43Sam is rocking the Splattershot.

00:11:47You know, the model is updated.

00:11:51Inklings love to stay on top of fashion and fashion trends,

00:11:54so nothing is just the same.

00:11:57It's all going to be updated a little bit.

00:11:58Yeah, and she's got burst bombs.

00:12:00They look kind of like water balloons full of ink.

00:12:02But her special is new, which I'm really special.

00:12:04It's really special.

00:12:05Oh, it's super fun.

00:12:06All right, now I've got to get myself in the right position, though.

00:12:09See if you can find...

00:12:09This one's all about...

00:12:11I want to get higher, I think.

00:12:12Yeah, you need some high ground.

00:12:13Yeah, so she's got the tent of missiles.

00:12:14So what she's waiting...

00:12:15So once she fires this off, what you're going to see is that

00:12:17she actually needs...

00:12:18Once she activates it by pressing the R stick,

00:12:20she's going to need to find people.

00:12:21So it's not going to...

00:12:22Look around.

00:12:22She can't actually now fire it.

00:12:24Where are you guys?

00:12:24Now her meter is decreasing while she's looking for targets.

00:12:28Oh, am I not going to find a target?

00:12:29No.

00:12:29Sometimes that happens.

00:12:30There.

00:12:31Come on.

00:12:32Oh, I missed it.

00:12:33Oh, you may not have been able to get it off in time.

00:12:34Oh, that's a shame.

00:12:34Yeah.

00:12:35The tent of missile is definitely kind of location dependent.

00:12:39That's okay.

00:12:40This is a really busy area here.

00:12:43Getting that high ground to show that off is maybe not my best move.

00:12:46That's okay.

00:12:46Hey, hey.

00:12:47I want to do it for the viewers.

00:12:48It's dangerous up there.

00:12:50What I like to do, actually, Sam, sometimes with the tent of missiles,

00:12:52is once you have it activated, because you're probably going to fill your special

00:12:54out there fighting in the middle of the scene,

00:12:56you can actually super jump back to the spawn point

00:12:58or somewhere sort of away from the scrum

00:13:01and then get a high point so you can see some people then fire it off.

00:13:04Yeah.

00:13:05You can see the blue team's ink coverage is pretty good.

00:13:09They got to pop up in the map.

00:13:11Yeah.

00:13:12It was at least in the area we were in, but...

00:13:15And like in Splatoon 1, too, even if you're not popping the turf map open a lot,

00:13:18you can actually use the little squid icons on the left and right.

00:13:21Whichever team is winning, those will kind of grow and get smaller.

00:13:24You'll get the danger icon if you're really behind, so...

00:13:27The more you play, the more you can kind of get a sense of how the turf map is going.

00:13:31Backing off.

00:13:34So, is there an area that...

00:13:36Let's see.

00:13:37That's the thing that's really interesting about this game.

00:13:40There's so many interesting places to...

00:13:42Oh, yeah.

00:13:43Learning each of the maps, learning the...

00:13:45Oh, I've got to get out of here.

00:13:46Oh, no!

00:13:47Get out of here!

00:13:49Man.

00:13:50Pink.

00:13:51I said ink.

00:13:51I meant pink.

00:13:52Pink is making an ink press.

00:13:54Oh, yeah.

00:13:55They are really pushing you guys back.

00:13:56Kicking our butts right now.

00:13:57All right.

00:13:58It's hard because I wanted to show off these weapons, but...

00:14:00That's okay.

00:14:01These guys just want to take us out.

00:14:02We've got this whole hour.

00:14:04We've got time.

00:14:04That's good.

00:14:05That's kind of how turf war works, though, in general.

00:14:07You can kind of focus on different strategies early, and it's maybe not as critical.

00:14:13But once you hit that last 30 seconds, you really need to be aware of where the ink is,

00:14:17where the enemy is, and make that final push.

00:14:20Before it gets too late.

00:14:21You guys came up against some stiff opposition here.

00:14:25Wow.

00:14:25I don't think I was able to pull that one off, and I didn't get a good job of that

00:14:27special,

00:14:28so I'll have to come back to that one.

00:14:29You know what?

00:14:29There's always room for improvement.

00:14:32There's some good room for improvement there.

00:14:33Bad guys won this time.

00:14:34I think I can step it up next time.

00:14:35Yeah.

00:14:37Like, you're up next.

00:14:38Oh, that's me?

00:14:38Okay.

00:14:38Passes over to you.

00:14:40On the subject of squid fashion, by the way, we'll see the Inklings have a...

00:14:45Oh, here we've got our scoreboard.

00:14:47So, it's actually good that you lost, Sam, so we can show off what's going to happen

00:14:50if one of us takes a loss.

00:14:51Can we say you did it on purpose, then?

00:14:53Yeah, exactly.

00:14:53I did that.

00:14:54Just to show off.

00:14:55So you got splatted.

00:14:57Excellent.

00:14:57But we wouldn't be doing full scientific research if we weren't winning and losing.

00:15:00Oh, in matches, I feel like, so.

00:15:03I accidentally jumped back in because I was so eager, so I'm going to use the same weapon again.

00:15:08Oh, that's good.

00:15:08No, see if you can show off the Tenta Missiles.

00:15:10Because they're super satisfying if you get a really good shot off with those.

00:15:14Yeah.

00:15:15I think I was being a little too greedy wanting to get a multiple target shot there.

00:15:18I love the idea that Inklings and our Jellyfish residents here are into rock climbing.

00:15:25Yeah.

00:15:26Yeah.

00:15:26This is Muscle Forge Fitness.

00:15:28This is a new stage.

00:15:29Alright.

00:15:31It's called Muscle Forge Fitness because it's not just a gym.

00:15:34I mean, this is not just a place to pump iron and work on your muscles.

00:15:37That's muscle spelled like the seafood, by the way.

00:15:41You know it.

00:15:41And there's a pretty dangerous spot below you, I think, if I remember.

00:15:45There's climbing equipment.

00:15:46I'm just trying to take...

00:15:47Hold on, hold on.

00:15:47Look through that window real quick.

00:15:48No, no, no.

00:15:49Right here.

00:15:49Stop fighting.

00:15:50Look at that.

00:15:50Oh, yeah.

00:15:51He's working the speed bag.

00:15:52He's working the heavy bag.

00:15:52That's the heavy bag.

00:15:56One thing that always catches me when I'm playing this game is the...

00:15:58Nice.

00:15:59The stages are so involved and so pretty.

00:16:02I just want to browse what's going on.

00:16:03Hey guys, can we just not shoot for a second?

00:16:05Like there's something cool over here.

00:16:06All right.

00:16:07There you go.

00:16:08Nice.

00:16:08Oh no.

00:16:09They used it on me.

00:16:10Oh, I got my map up.

00:16:12That's good to see actually.

00:16:13So what we saw there, the indicators that were coming on the ground there was somebody else

00:16:16using ten of missiles against you.

00:16:17So you do have a second to get out of the way when somebody's targeting you.

00:16:21But you have to be very solid in situational awareness to catch that.

00:16:24So I'm going to bring up my turf map here.

00:16:27I can see my allies and I'm just going to pick one and super jump to them and get right

00:16:33back into the action.

00:16:35That's something that on the Wii U version with Splatoon 1 you were able to do with the touch screen.

00:16:41And I actually like this a lot.

00:16:42When you're not under immediate fire, you can still move around, bring this up, bring up your map and still

00:16:50keep an eye on the action.

00:16:52Which is really convenient.

00:16:56All right.

00:16:57Taking back some turf here.

00:16:59Cleaning up this horrible pink mess.

00:17:03All right.

00:17:04Things are looking pretty good.

00:17:05Looking pretty good.

00:17:06Yeah.

00:17:07So a couple of things are going to be new here with Splatoon 2.

00:17:10We've got the voice chat app that's going to be coming out for smart devices.

00:17:15And also that you can do local play to team up with your friends.

00:17:22And I think both of those things are going to really help with the communication with these new specials

00:17:25where you're really leaving yourself vulnerable as you're executing some of these specials.

00:17:30Right.

00:17:30So it's really useful to be able to actually communicate immediately with your teammates

00:17:33and say, hey, I'm about to unleash this on our opponents.

00:17:36I need some cover fire.

00:17:38I need some protection so that you can execute those moves and not get splatted.

00:17:47All right.

00:17:48How are things looking?

00:17:49Pretty good.

00:17:49That's actually really good, actually.

00:17:51It's actually down to four on jump back into the middle.

00:17:53The other team lost a couple of people.

00:17:55They must have grabbed a bite to eat.

00:17:57It's four on two right now.

00:17:58So you guys are, it might be a pretty easy win, but still fun to get a look at this

00:18:02map.

00:18:04Oh.

00:18:04Right.

00:18:06Oh.

00:18:07Nice.

00:18:08No mercy.

00:18:10Just that last, last splat.

00:18:13Only got about 15 seconds here left.

00:18:15Things are looking pretty well under control for us.

00:18:17That's good.

00:18:18Anybody we splat or who splats us, it's for science.

00:18:20That's right.

00:18:21So in the long run, it's for the greater good.

00:18:22research.

00:18:23It all brings us important data for our studies.

00:18:29Oh.

00:18:30I would say that was very nicely done.

00:18:31Oh, yeah.

00:18:32That's looking solid.

00:18:34And also worth mentioning, we have a second mammal.

00:18:36We do.

00:18:38And based on our previous research, Judd was the only mammal in this world.

00:18:42I know.

00:18:42So we still haven't figured out what's going on with this new cat.

00:18:44We definitely, you know, further study is necessary, I think.

00:18:47So what do you think?

00:18:48Do you want to move on to the roller or do you want me to play one more time?

00:18:50Fire it up.

00:18:51Yeah.

00:18:51Okay.

00:18:52I'm going to exit out here.

00:18:57All right.

00:18:58So, yeah.

00:18:58I'm going to check out the splat roller.

00:18:59Ethan, you earned yourself a nice little squid here.

00:19:03That's two and one for the research lab.

00:19:06Woo-hoo.

00:19:07Thank you, Yoshiko.

00:19:07All right.

00:19:11So I know both of you were very involved in Splatoon when it was originally released.

00:19:16How does this feel to you coming back two years out?

00:19:18I actually both can't believe that it's been two years since I was

00:19:21before the first one, but it's also like, you know, it feels like it was just yesterday,

00:19:24but it feels like a long time has passed, so.

00:19:26Mmm.

00:19:27Yeah.

00:19:29My daughter was, I guess, six months old when Splatoon launched.

00:19:32Now she's two and a half, so.

00:19:34A lot can happen in two years.

00:19:36We've got a couple rollers on our team.

00:19:38So I'm using the splat roller this time.

00:19:41Great for ground coverage.

00:19:42Yep.

00:19:43As you can see, there's a few different things you can do with it here.

00:19:47Hold down your firing button to just roll out a fat swath of ink.

00:19:54Thank you, Morgan, for that vocabulary support.

00:19:57Yeah.

00:19:58Also, you know, you can just tap the button to fling ink in front of you.

00:20:05Kind of a wide swath.

00:20:06One of the new moves that you can do with this, I love it.

00:20:10is in danger.

00:20:13Oh, buddy.

00:20:13Oh, no, no, no.

00:20:14Roller action.

00:20:15Yeah.

00:20:15I ran into a couple different people there.

00:20:19But as I was saying, this is new.

00:20:22You can jump.

00:20:25Is there a good place to clear ground?

00:20:27Yeah.

00:20:28So the jump, yeah, when you jump with the roller,

00:20:30it takes a hair longer, but it sort of rotates sideways

00:20:35and throws up this longer sort of more focus swath.

00:20:38Right.

00:20:39So you can see, whoops, as I encounter some more resistance here.

00:20:44It's a really nice move kind of along the same lines as the curling bomb,

00:20:47where it's going to give you that nice track that you can then follow in squid form.

00:20:50So it's really nice for getting around the map a little faster.

00:20:53And you can also attack players.

00:20:54I mean, because, you know, the roller's always been a good melee weapon.

00:20:58You can swim up on people, slap them with the roller.

00:21:00And you can still do that, but when you jump.

00:21:02Oh, there's a lot of activity there.

00:21:03Oh, man.

00:21:03You can also jump.

00:21:04When you swim up on somebody, jump with the roller, swing with it.

00:21:07Because you have that longer, more focus stream, you can actually,

00:21:10it takes away a little bit of your immediate melee power,

00:21:12but you can actually, you don't have to get as close as you did before.

00:21:15So I think it's actually something that roller...

00:21:17Oh, somebody targeted you.

00:21:18I was about to get Tenta Missiled.

00:21:19I think roller players are really going to appreciate it once you get used to it,

00:21:22because it actually gives you a sort of wider, more versatile range of attacks.

00:21:29Oh, buddy.

00:21:29Oh, gosh.

00:21:30I am not having the best time at the moment.

00:21:32I know, but I feel like this is setting up for your special.

00:21:35Like, if you can get this...

00:21:36Yeah, if I can just charge up a map.

00:21:37If you can, like, hang out.

00:21:38And this is a sweet special.

00:21:39I almost don't want to say anything about it, because I don't want to spoil it until people see it,

00:21:42but it's...

00:21:43The special that the Splat Roller has is called the Splashdown.

00:21:47It's deeply satisfying.

00:21:48Don't you let that guy...

00:21:49Don't you.

00:21:50So I also have Suction Bombs.

00:21:53There's a little boxing friend there.

00:21:56Get that special pull.

00:21:58I need to see the...

00:21:59I need to see the...

00:22:00I need to see where he's at.

00:22:03Everyone's pretty centrally located there.

00:22:05Yeah.

00:22:06You're close, you're close, you're close, you're close, you're close.

00:22:09Alright, super jump.

00:22:10Alright, ready, ready.

00:22:11Super jump, baby.

00:22:11I know.

00:22:12I need to find out where there's some action.

00:22:13So this special can be used by bringing up your map.

00:22:18And I'm going to activate it in air.

00:22:21Mid air.

00:22:22Splashdown.

00:22:23Unfortunately, I didn't get anybody with that.

00:22:25But...

00:22:26It still just feels really cool to come down like Superman.

00:22:29You can either do it where you are, or...

00:22:29Oh, we've got to do some work down here.

00:22:31You can do it where you are, or you can do it mid super jump, which just feels amazing.

00:22:37Yeah, being able to activate a special mid air with super jump is just such a good...

00:22:41It feels good.

00:22:42Wow.

00:22:43That's going to be close.

00:22:44I think we might have pulled it out.

00:22:45I think you've got it.

00:22:48Nice.

00:22:48So I feel pretty good about my ink coverage that time.

00:22:51I didn't really, you know, win any glory for the Squid Research Lab, you know, based on my splat count.

00:22:58Yeah, but look at all you guys, though, in double digits.

00:22:59Yeah.

00:23:00We're all up well over a thousand, so that was good.

00:23:02Alright.

00:23:03I'm going to hand this off to you now.

00:23:04Yeah.

00:23:04And there's some more little tricks we can show off with that special move as well.

00:23:07So we'll have to come back to that set again and show off some other tricks.

00:23:10Yeah.

00:23:10So what were you thinking, Morgan?

00:23:12I'm going to...

00:23:12So we've seen everything except the splat charger, so I'm going to roll with that.

00:23:16Looks like, Ethan, you did yourself proud.

00:23:18Woohoo!

00:23:19Still got my team victory.

00:23:24So splat charger returning as well from Splatoon.

00:23:27Yeah, splat charger is sort of like the sniper rifle of this game, so to speak.

00:23:31You charge it up, you can shoot a more focused blast.

00:23:33It's great for laying down long lanes of ink, peppering opponents from afar.

00:23:39Yeah.

00:23:39I was never...

00:23:40It's not like my natural inclination.

00:23:42I'm more of an active...

00:23:43I like to splat a shot.

00:23:45Yeah.

00:23:45But I've always appreciated people that get really good with chargers because to me it's

00:23:48like a skill set that's something I don't feel particularly good at and I don't spend

00:23:52so much time on it.

00:23:53If you see someone who knows their way around a charger, it's definitely impressive to watch.

00:23:59I think with a charger as well, if you think you're going to go this kind of route

00:24:01and you want to really focus on becoming a sniping inkling, it's really good to build up a lot

00:24:06of map awareness and really get familiar with how each of these stages is laid out.

00:24:10That's definitely true.

00:24:11There are a lot of good hidey holes, little spaces where you can hide and get a really

00:24:14good vantage point, but as well, too, if you're trying to line up the perfect shot,

00:24:17you're maybe not paying attention to what else is going on around you.

00:24:20It can be very vulnerable if somebody's able to sneak up behind you, catch you with one

00:24:24of their special moves.

00:24:25That's right.

00:24:26In addition to Muscle Forge Fitness, which is where we've done most of our playing, I think

00:24:31all of our playing so far, we also have The Reef, another stage that we showed off in January,

00:24:38actually.

00:24:39So people who saw some of that footage may be familiar with it, but hopefully we'll get

00:24:43a look at The Reef as well.

00:24:44It's more of an outdoor shopping district kind of area.

00:24:48And of course with Turf 4, we are really focused in on the Turf 4 gameplay, but it's worth mentioning

00:24:54for folks who are really big fans of the characters in the original game, the world has changed.

00:24:59Some characters are maybe going to be doing different things than you remember from the

00:25:02last game, but you're going to see some familiar faces when you're relaxing there.

00:25:04I'm really excited to see what the world thinks of, you know, the new sort of evolved Inkopolis

00:25:13that the Inklings are living in, sort of the way they've updated their fashions and stuff.

00:25:17I feel like this is the way about a lot of our games, but this dev team has just created

00:25:22this world

00:25:22that feels so, like, I want to move, like, it just feels like a real place.

00:25:27I want to go to there.

00:25:28And to see them get to build on top of that, you know, it's just, it's really cool.

00:25:33You can definitely tell so much love went into all these little background details

00:25:35and really building up, like, these folks have a culture, they have a history, they're very fashionable.

00:25:41So, right away I'm going to show probably the, really the coolest little change to how chargers work.

00:25:47So, like before, I hold down my shoot button, it charges up.

00:25:50You've got the reticle there.

00:25:51I can shoot that, and I can, you know, I can hold, let me get some ink here.

00:25:54You know, I charge that up.

00:25:55Once it's charged, I can, you know, I can walk around if I want to.

00:25:59But.

00:26:00This is new.

00:26:01Okay.

00:26:01I don't know if you just realized what just happened.

00:26:03It seems subtle.

00:26:03Yeah.

00:26:03But, I can have it charged, go into my ink, pop out, and then let it go.

00:26:08It's important to note that if I have it charged and I stay in my ink for too long, though.

00:26:12That's going to go away.

00:26:13I don't have it charged anymore.

00:26:14There's a little gray bar at the top of your ink tank that is kind of an indicator.

00:26:20It's all that strategic repositioning there.

00:26:22That's right.

00:26:22So, being able to have that, like, for people that are, you know, got really good at chargers,

00:26:26or that's, like, kind of the play style they want to master.

00:26:29To be able to take all that skill set and then combine that with being able to, you know,

00:26:32swim up, jump out, and then let it, it just adds this layer that is.

00:26:36Keep your eyes out once, you know, we have a wider sort of sample set of data to, you know,

00:26:44video data to look at.

00:26:45I think one of the most impressive things you're going to see are.

00:26:48Oh, roller, roller.

00:26:50Charger play.

00:26:51Oh.

00:26:52Oh, you were just in the splashdown radius.

00:26:55But charger play that makes use of that ability to save up your charged shot

00:27:00and then duck around a corner and let it go.

00:27:04I think people are going to actually have a lot of fun with that.

00:27:06And actually, that was nice.

00:27:07So, when that other inkling used the special, we saw the visual representation just before the punch was nailed down

00:27:13on the floor.

00:27:14So, it's really worthwhile getting familiar with what these different moves look like when they're being distributed.

00:27:19I'm trying to take that inkjet.

00:27:20Did you see that inkjet guy flying?

00:27:21Yeah.

00:27:23I had an idea that if I just shot randomly into mid-air, I would take him out.

00:27:26Yeah.

00:27:26Now, you're featuring a fourth new special weapon that we haven't seen yet.

00:27:32Yeah.

00:27:32I'm going to focus on trying to get that built up.

00:27:34Called the Stingray.

00:27:38Good.

00:27:39Good, good.

00:27:40Oh, they're boxing you in.

00:27:41Careful.

00:27:42Got the Splat Bombs, a classic.

00:27:45Oh!

00:27:45How did I do with that?

00:27:46I think that was a ruler of the new jump, like Long Ranger.

00:27:49Yeah.

00:27:52I don't know if I was making any sense while I was talking while playing with the roller, so I'll

00:27:56just reiterate that, yeah, you can, if you do your tap to, to fling ink with the roller while jumping

00:28:02now, you're going to do a vertical swing that's going to fling ink for a much longer distance.

00:28:08And you can dive into that.

00:28:10Oh!

00:28:10Get out of there!

00:28:11You got splashed downed again.

00:28:13It's hard because once you're in that range, it's like, how do I get out of here?

00:28:15You've only got a second to get out of there.

00:28:19All right.

00:28:20How's our map looking?

00:28:21Looks like they've got some decent coverage in the middle.

00:28:26Yeah.

00:28:26The Charger is not completely geared toward really inking lots of turf.

00:28:31Oh, he's out of ink?

00:28:35Yeah, I have a really hard time, personally, like, figuring out how to play well with the Charger and also,

00:28:40like, build up my special, because I feel like it's...

00:28:43You're not really focused on coverage.

00:28:45You're more of the suppressing support fire.

00:28:48Capture.

00:28:48Got it.

00:28:49Nice.

00:28:50So we'll use the next round with the Charger to make sure we show off that special.

00:28:53Sounds good.

00:28:54But, yeah, like, personally for me, that's, like, you know, it's that combination of, like, trying to take my time

00:28:58and, like, aim these long range shots.

00:29:00And then I'm so used to playing with, like, a splatter shot and just, like, covering turf and sort of

00:29:03always having my special there if I need it.

00:29:04Right.

00:29:08Yeah, Charger and Roller, I think, if you compare the two of them, are two of the best ways to

00:29:13see the different ways people can play Splatoon.

00:29:16Oh, do you want me to hit the Charger again, or where should I go?

00:29:19Yeah, I mean, we've shown everything once, but there's still, I think, a lot of...

00:29:23Let's see.

00:29:25Roller really gets in up close.

00:29:26You know, we didn't show the sort of after image that appears that tells you what's happening with this one's

00:29:31special.

00:29:31We've got a little of every...

00:29:32I mean, there's...

00:29:33See if I can show that off.

00:29:34There's little details that it's going to take a couple rounds to show off, so...

00:29:37The splat.

00:29:38Whatever you guys feel like showing off.

00:29:43Man, I can't wait for this to come out.

00:29:44Yeah.

00:29:45Summer. Soon.

00:29:46Another good thing to think about, you know, you can't always control it when playing with people in a situation

00:29:52like this,

00:29:52but as you're, you know, working together, if you can...

00:29:56If you're playing as a roller, and you take, you know, take the front line and really ink a lot

00:30:01of the turf in the middle,

00:30:01but you can be supported by somebody with a charger from the back, that's when you can really see, I

00:30:09don't know, team coordination come through.

00:30:11Yeah, it's worth talking a little bit about team composition, because I know playing Splatoon, every once in a while

00:30:16you come against a team,

00:30:17and it's four rollers, to say.

00:30:19Sure, sure.

00:30:19Everybody's got the same weapon, and I mean, it's certainly fun to play that way, but I think you lose

00:30:23a little bit of the versatility that you get when you've got a nice support build.

00:30:28Well, that's like what I think is important, I kind of failed at showing it off the first time, but

00:30:31Sam, this special you have, the inkjet, is so cool, and so cool,

00:30:35and neat to think about what you can do with the team, because...

00:30:38Go, curling bomb, get him!

00:30:40Because this special allows you to inkjet, she's ready.

00:30:43So for one, she can now fly into places you might not normally be able to walk to, so you

00:30:47can make a push into an enemy base.

00:30:49Oh, you're good.

00:30:50Oh, you got somebody right at the end, that was great.

00:30:52And you can see at the end there, she flew back to where she started, so wherever you initiate the

00:30:56inkjet, you end up, when it runs out, flying right back to that spot,

00:31:00and it also leaves a little icon there, so the enemy can actually see that, so they might see...

00:31:06Nicely done!

00:31:07Oh, oh no!

00:31:08Nicely done.

00:31:08So they might see you fire that off, and then you're flying above, sort of raining down, but if they

00:31:13saw where you took off from,

00:31:14and they know where that spot is, they could camp your initial launch point.

00:31:17And that is no good.

00:31:18No.

00:31:19So it's almost like you want a teammate to guard that spot for you, like, make sure it's safe when

00:31:23I come home.

00:31:23Or, before you fire it off, you can kind of find a little hidey hole, and then fire it off,

00:31:28because you don't really want anyone to see where you take off from.

00:31:32I love these curling bombs.

00:31:33And another thing that I love about the inkjet, too, is as you're flying over, it's also leaving a trail

00:31:37beneath you, so you can also use that to help your team push forward through enemy ink.

00:31:42Yeah.

00:31:42So one of the things that I love about the curling bombs' strategy, they're really fun if you have a

00:31:47narrow walkway where you can bounce it against the walls.

00:31:50Oh, boy.

00:31:50Because then it'll just shuttle back and forth, cover a lot of ground, but if someone's hiding in that ink,

00:31:55it's really hard for them to avoid that thing if its trajectory is pulling them in the right way.

00:31:58Yes!

00:31:59Oh, nice!

00:31:59Was that your...

00:32:00You splatted Vern.

00:32:02I'm sorry, Vern.

00:32:03It was for science.

00:32:04Fire off that inkjet and make some...

00:32:05I think you can push into the enemy base from where you're at.

00:32:07Yep.

00:32:07Oh, yeah, there we go.

00:32:08All the way.

00:32:09Keep going.

00:32:10Keep going.

00:32:10Oh, inkjet, inkjet, inkjet, inkjet!

00:32:12Fight in the air!

00:32:14Inkjet!

00:32:15That was intense.

00:32:15Okay, I've got to get out of here.

00:32:16I'm way too close to...

00:32:18Incredibly intense.

00:32:20And you can probably tell from the fact that...

00:32:21I should have screenshoted that, but I was way too focused on the action to remember.

00:32:24Well, when you're flying around the inkjet, your ability to aim is a little slow.

00:32:27It's sort of a methodical thunk-thunk weapon.

00:32:29So even though those two were right up there trying to shoot each other...

00:32:32Yeah.

00:32:33It's difficult for anyone to, you know, for them to take each other out.

00:32:36Yeah, the map's doing...

00:32:36Oh, I feel much better about this.

00:32:38All right.

00:32:38Yeah.

00:32:39This is looking good.

00:32:40Another thing about the inkjet, like, every stage pretty much is going to have some area

00:32:44that's going to make it difficult to get into nicely done.

00:32:48There we go.

00:32:49I'm sorry, whoever that was.

00:32:51That was now.

00:32:52I'm sorry, now.

00:32:53But it makes it difficult to get into enemy territory.

00:32:56And, you know, previously, there wasn't really a way to do that.

00:32:59Yeah, you could throw bombs, like, up and over ledges and try to do it that way or shoot...

00:33:03But that inkjet, you know, you can strike fear in the heart of your opponents by storming

00:33:08in just like this.

00:33:09Oh, look at this.

00:33:09Late game, marching push.

00:33:12All right, there we go.

00:33:14Wow.

00:33:14Oh, nicely done.

00:33:15That looks like a win to me.

00:33:16Did I earn a squid?

00:33:17Maybe?

00:33:19Yes!

00:33:19You're on the board.

00:33:20Yoshika, I earned a squid.

00:33:23I was a little worried that I'd just have a line of splats after today.

00:33:26That would be very sad.

00:33:27Very good.

00:33:27Who's up next?

00:33:28Morgan, you, I think.

00:33:29Helios, Nick.

00:33:30Oh, Ethan's too young.

00:33:31Excellent.

00:33:32Thank you, Helios.

00:33:33We've got Nick.

00:33:34I can't read the Japanese player's name.

00:33:35Ethan, you could have.

00:33:36Yes, thank you to all the teammates.

00:33:36If you're playing and you see us turn up in your game, I apologize if we look like

00:33:40we're just doing something weird because we're trying to show off a move

00:33:42and we're just standing there.

00:33:43But thank you for supporting us.

00:33:46All right.

00:33:46We're going to go one more round with the same loadout here.

00:33:52I actually haven't played yet with the Splattershot, so.

00:33:55It feels really good.

00:33:56I was always a fan of the Splattershot, honestly, in the first game, so it's nice to see it back.

00:34:00Yeah.

00:34:00And the new special really does make a difference, though.

00:34:05Mm-hmm.

00:34:08I'm just waiting on one player to start.

00:34:09Ooh, Burn's back.

00:34:10We already played with Burn once, so.

00:34:12You know, where we are here in our North American West Coast Squid Research Facility, you know,

00:34:20it's noon o'clock right now.

00:34:22Yep.

00:34:22So you will have five other opportunities to play, you know, the Test Fire.

00:34:28So keep your eyes posted for that.

00:34:30We'll be putting up a little information later, but don't worry if you're eating lunch

00:34:33or too busy to play right now.

00:34:34You'll have opportunities later.

00:34:36Make sure you can download the.

00:34:38All right, so you got.

00:34:40The Turf War from the Nintendo eShop.

00:34:42So you're rolling Dooley's again, I believe, which is great.

00:34:44We splatted Vern last time, didn't we?

00:34:45Vern's on our team this time.

00:34:47Oh, that's right.

00:34:47I'm not Splattershot.

00:34:48I'm Dooley's.

00:34:49Yeah, which is good.

00:34:50I think the Dooley's are sort of the most.

00:34:52I feel like the Dooley's might become my new main.

00:34:56I don't know yet.

00:34:56I don't know all the weapons that are going to be in the game, but I just love that Dooley's

00:34:59add this ability to.

00:35:01I always like sort of that aggressive push you can make with Splattershot, or Splattershot Jr.

00:35:04is what I like to play with in the first game.

00:35:06But the Dooley's kind of let you do the same thing, but also with that roll.

00:35:10Nice.

00:35:10You can be even more elusive.

00:35:13Oh, nicely done.

00:35:13And Dooley just feels cool.

00:35:15Yeah.

00:35:16Oh.

00:35:17And there you pop him back.

00:35:18Nice.

00:35:18I'm going to immediately throw a curler.

00:35:21Let go with another curler.

00:35:22I'm just kind of like holding down this bridge.

00:35:24Uh-oh, uh-oh.

00:35:25Stiff opposition.

00:35:26Oh.

00:35:26Yeah, this bridge changed a little bit from the.

00:35:28and this is now sort of a.

00:35:30Any eagle eyes from the way the stage looked in the New York event.

00:35:35This bridge is now made out of stone.

00:35:37It's a little different looking.

00:35:39So next time you unleash a curling bomb.

00:35:40I wonder if we could show it kind of building up that energy there so folks can take a look.

00:35:44Sure.

00:35:44At the very top of the curling bomb is where you want to look.

00:35:46I'll hold on to it.

00:35:47Perfect.

00:35:48There we see the color change and that sort of little light that turns on it.

00:35:53Is how you tell how the.

00:35:55Yeah.

00:35:55Settings going.

00:35:56Oh, man.

00:35:57Oh.

00:35:58I got pinpointed by Nick.

00:36:02Nick, you are a worthy opponent.

00:36:04This is a good even match right now.

00:36:05I'm not sure.

00:36:06This might be dangerous.

00:36:08I'm going to try.

00:36:09I'm going to try jumping in.

00:36:10Sometimes.

00:36:11Sometimes this can be dangerous, but.

00:36:14Oh, man.

00:36:15Maybe you can go the other way.

00:36:18Don't be afraid to throw a booyah here.

00:36:20You know.

00:36:20Oh, yeah.

00:36:21Do something nice.

00:36:21Yeah.

00:36:21You can use your plus control pad to give a couple signals to your teammates.

00:36:26And any eagle eyed platoon players out there, you might notice that, you know, we still have booyah.

00:36:30Oh, no.

00:36:30You press down.

00:36:31But Ethan could press up to say this way to his opponents.

00:36:33Right.

00:36:34That's a little tweak.

00:36:34You know, in the first game we had come on in the US English and then UK English I believe

00:36:39it was to me.

00:36:40Yeah.

00:36:40So we've unified that as this way.

00:36:42So I think that that will.

00:36:42Super jump again.

00:36:43I have not.

00:36:44A little more clear what's going on when you use that.

00:36:45Come on, Ethan.

00:36:47Where'd they go?

00:36:49There we go.

00:36:50Nice.

00:36:50Arch.

00:36:51I see.

00:36:51I see what you're doing.

00:36:55All right.

00:36:56Oh, you're almost charged.

00:36:57Nice.

00:36:57Oh, get him.

00:36:59I got taken out of the skies.

00:37:01Yeah.

00:37:01But that's a good example that you think, oh, being able to fly around with a jet pack on.

00:37:04Yeah.

00:37:04How can anyone stop you?

00:37:05But because you're shooting, you know, it's a little harder to aim, it's not necessarily as overpowered as you might

00:37:10think.

00:37:11We've got to.

00:37:12I've got to stop worrying about territory.

00:37:16Oh, you just.

00:37:17I've got to.

00:37:17I've got to get.

00:37:18I've got to get.

00:37:19Yeah, you've got to get serious.

00:37:21I get too caught up in the splatting game.

00:37:23But I think that balance of the vulnerability and the damage really helps make sure that, you know, none of

00:37:28these sets is going to be overly OP.

00:37:30It's really how you play and use them that's going to make the difference.

00:37:33You can cause a lot of damage and cover a lot of turf with some of these specials.

00:37:36Go, go, go.

00:37:36Last push, last push, last push.

00:37:38I don't have the time.

00:37:39Throw a bomb.

00:37:39Throw a curl something.

00:37:40Oh.

00:37:41Didn't have the time there.

00:37:42I just said throw a curl.

00:37:43I don't know what that meant.

00:37:43Curl.

00:37:44That looks close, though.

00:37:45You might have done it.

00:37:46I don't know that we got it.

00:37:48Nope.

00:37:48Oh.

00:37:49Oh, well.

00:37:50I'm not going to screenshot that one.

00:37:51I'll be honest.

00:37:52Seeing that little cat happy, it kind of makes it all right.

00:37:55Here you go.

00:37:58Oh, well.

00:37:58I got my first splat.

00:38:00You did.

00:38:02I'll be honest.

00:38:02Like, unrelated to the gameplay, but I think I'm going to stay in science mode.

00:38:06These are really comfortable.

00:38:07Yeah.

00:38:10All right, Ethan.

00:38:11I took your first splat.

00:38:12Yeah, I'm the only one without a splat, so we'll see how I can do it.

00:38:15Oh, no.

00:38:16Yoshika, you didn't have to put the splat on the board with such ferocity.

00:38:20I'm going back in with the splat charger.

00:38:22I feel like I didn't do a great job the first time.

00:38:24Redeem yourself a bit?

00:38:26Yes.

00:38:26We'll see.

00:38:27Jeez.

00:38:28I'll be honest.

00:38:29That leaves a bad taste in my mouth as a researcher.

00:38:32I need to get back and check my results, and hopefully I can come up with some different data next

00:38:36time.

00:38:36We're going to have a lot of data to go through.

00:38:38I will say that we're very lucky that Yoshika is handling statistics for us and not playing, because otherwise I

00:38:42think she would be just destroying.

00:38:43She could probably handle the enemy team all by herself.

00:38:46Yeah, we're kind of holding on to her, but she's a very dangerous opponent.

00:38:48You don't want to mess with this.

00:38:49She's definitely Squid Research Lab's most secret weapon.

00:38:55All right, charger on the loose.

00:38:59I'm going to use the charger in one of its effective ways, which is laying down early lanes and using

00:39:04those lanes to push.

00:39:05Yeah, you can see there that your buddy, Hayato, is really making use of the ink that you're laying down,

00:39:11which is a nice toss with the splat bomb.

00:39:13And worth noting for folks who haven't taken a look at the top of the screen here in too much

00:39:17detail, you can tell what your loadout is on your teammates and your opponents, which is really helpful.

00:39:21So here you can see what just got taken out of the running.

00:39:24That's a really good point.

00:39:24So you know there's not a roller that you have to face on the other team right now.

00:39:28Right.

00:39:28Yeah.

00:39:30All right, so I've got my special.

00:39:31So this special, you know, sometimes it's hard to try to show off these.

00:39:34It's not quite.

00:39:34It's hard to show.

00:39:35There you go.

00:39:36You got it now.

00:39:36So it's hard to show off the specials.

00:39:37You kind of need the natural situation to occur.

00:39:40Right.

00:39:40With the stingray, what I can actually do, let me get to a little higher point.

00:39:44In the right circumstance, it's really powerful.

00:39:47It can shoot through walls.

00:39:49Imagine a pressure washer, but ink.

00:39:53I'm just going to fire it off to make sure I use it.

00:39:55There you go.

00:39:56Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

00:39:58You got him.

00:39:59Yes, nice.

00:39:59And so you can actually see that, it was probably a little hard to see there, but it's this like

00:40:02long, like, it's like a fire hose or something.

00:40:04And that long hose of ink.

00:40:06It will cut through walls.

00:40:07Through walls, yeah.

00:40:08Yeah, so if you know somebody's like pinned behind a barrier and you fire that off, you can shoot it

00:40:12right through and get them.

00:40:13But it's like the middle is really being hotly contested right now.

00:40:16And by hotly contested, I mean turquoise.

00:40:19All right.

00:40:20I've taken the hint.

00:40:22But yeah, to carry on that thought as far as the kind of ups and downs of that special, it's

00:40:28amazing that you can get ink through walls.

00:40:30So it's great if you've got.

00:40:31Oh, no, no, no.

00:40:32I'm in trouble.

00:40:33I got no ink.

00:40:34You know where they are.

00:40:34You just can't see them.

00:40:35Can you super jump out?

00:40:37I could have.

00:40:37You're right.

00:40:38Careful.

00:40:39That's another thing to remember.

00:40:40A super jump is a good way to get out of a sticky situation quickly.

00:40:46Morgan's calling people to him.

00:40:47Oh, no.

00:40:47He did it.

00:40:48That was a very tiny bit of crippling left.

00:40:49You were being pursued.

00:40:50That was good.

00:40:50Jump back to safety.

00:40:52All right.

00:40:53So on the flip side, that special is really great for getting through terrain to get at folks who are

00:40:59hiding.

00:40:59But at the same time, it's got a very slow turn radius.

00:41:02So you really have to be in a safe place to execute it to the full extent.

00:41:05Both that and the Tenta missiles.

00:41:07You know, with the Tenta missiles, you can't fire it off until you have some targets in your reticle.

00:41:14So you really want to, you know, find out that safe spot where you're going to have time to fire

00:41:21it off to the best effect.

00:41:23You know, folks who haven't played Splatoon.

00:41:26Oh, my gosh.

00:41:27I didn't know which way to focus.

00:41:29They were coming from both sides.

00:41:30What was that?

00:41:30They've got us pinned down pretty good here.

00:41:32I was just wondering for folks who aren't familiar with Splatoon.

00:41:34Have we shown what happens when you go over one of those grates as a squid?

00:41:37I don't know if we have.

00:41:39You mean this grate right here?

00:41:41Sure.

00:41:41That grate right there.

00:41:42Yeah, so if I.

00:41:43Dangerous?

00:41:44That's a scary one.

00:41:45I just fell until I think it's like an Olympic sized swimming pool underneath.

00:41:49Which is unfortunate given that inklings don't swim.

00:41:51They don't.

00:41:52They really don't like water.

00:41:53So you've got to be careful.

00:41:53I know they're probably, I think there are going to be a lot of people that, you know, Splatoon 2

00:41:56is their first splatoon.

00:41:57And there's those little things that like, those of us that have played a lot, you're like, don't go near

00:42:00the water.

00:42:01Yeah, and be very mindful about those grates.

00:42:03You don't want to be in squid form unless you want to go through to the lower level.

00:42:07It can be a really easy way to get yourself off the map.

00:42:09I think I just earned my first splat.

00:42:10One of us.

00:42:11One of us.

00:42:12Get splatted.

00:42:14Back to you, Sam.

00:42:15All right.

00:42:16Let's see what I got.

00:42:17It's all right.

00:42:18Overall, if I'm crunching the numbers correctly, I believe this is going to be five wins, three losses.

00:42:25Three losses.

00:42:26For the Skrid Research Lab.

00:42:27Yep.

00:42:28And I believe that comes out to something like 99% win ratio.

00:42:30Yeah.

00:42:31That math checks out on that, I think.

00:42:35I think I'm sticking with the same set.

00:42:37I'm excited to like, I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited.

00:42:40I mean, we're doing this here now.

00:42:41We're doing this live and streaming it.

00:42:43But I can't wait for the other sessions to actually, you know, do it myself.

00:42:46I'm excited to see what handheld mode feels like.

00:42:48I'm excited to play it at home.

00:42:50You know, it's cool that there's more than one session.

00:42:52Right.

00:42:53I think that.

00:42:54And a few different times.

00:42:55So depending on what time zone you're in, hopefully we got something that's going to be comfortable for you to

00:42:59play.

00:42:59Yep.

00:43:01All right.

00:43:02Let's see what I got.

00:43:03All right.

00:43:04You're back to the reef.

00:43:07I like that the reef, there's like this SUV just parked there.

00:43:10Sure.

00:43:11You know.

00:43:12All right, Sam.

00:43:13It's time to show your colors with the charger.

00:43:15Okay.

00:43:18So this one I really like laying out long tracks of ink to kind of help my team maneuver around

00:43:23the map quickly.

00:43:24Yep.

00:43:24So I'll kind of be the forerunner here.

00:43:26I'm probably going to get myself in a really dangerous territory.

00:43:28But at the same time.

00:43:29Nice placement there.

00:43:30Hopefully I'm going to make it easier.

00:43:31Nice placement.

00:43:31Oh my goodness.

00:43:32You've been spotted.

00:43:32For my teammates to get around.

00:43:34So I'm sacrificing for the greater good of team painting.

00:43:37Yeah, I know.

00:43:38You can see that you got some support.

00:43:41Let's see here.

00:43:42Oh.

00:43:43All right.

00:43:43Blue has already put down some impressive ink in the middle.

00:43:53Yeah.

00:43:54It can be frustrating sometimes when you see that your opponents have left ground uninked.

00:43:58That's one of my pet peeves.

00:43:59Oh, look.

00:43:59Ten of missiles.

00:44:00Get out of there.

00:44:01Don't let them see you.

00:44:01Looking for you.

00:44:04I kind of want to just catch him from above there.

00:44:06I don't think he got the ten of missiles off.

00:44:08I think he whipped.

00:44:09I didn't see.

00:44:09Oh, there's our ten of missiles.

00:44:11Nice.

00:44:12At least one person.

00:44:14It can rain pink all day long.

00:44:16That's all right.

00:44:16On this.

00:44:17It's not blue.

00:44:21Okay.

00:44:23It's pretty good.

00:44:24Looking a little bit better.

00:44:25Oh, nice.

00:44:26That was nice.

00:44:26Oh, you've got the stingray ready to go.

00:44:31Oh.

00:44:32So you can see very slow to turn.

00:44:34Yeah.

00:44:34The turn radius is tricky.

00:44:37Anybody standing on the other side of that is going to see ink coming through.

00:44:44I like the aggressive splat charger play, though, that Sam's showing off here.

00:44:51Yeah.

00:44:52I like that the, you know, to me like the...

00:44:54You don't have to always hang back.

00:44:55Yeah.

00:44:56I'm a road roller.

00:44:57To me the stingray, you know, kind of, it's like, it feels like sort of, uh, you know,

00:45:00linked to...

00:45:01You remember the killer whale from September 1?

00:45:02I do.

00:45:03Like that thing would also kind of shoot through walls.

00:45:04Right.

00:45:04Once you fired it off, it just stayed in that one stream.

00:45:07Yeah.

00:45:07And this is like having a slower move, like...

00:45:10Yeah.

00:45:10A slower moving killer whale, but one you can...

00:45:12Yeah.

00:45:12One that you can move.

00:45:14Um...

00:45:14Just adds a different dynamic to how these guys have, too.

00:45:17It's looking rough.

00:45:18It's alright.

00:45:19Mink.

00:45:21Woo!

00:45:22Nice throw.

00:45:24I love the splat bombs.

00:45:25I feel like they're the...

00:45:25They're the one that, like...

00:45:26The physics of them is like what...

00:45:28It's like bobbing.

00:45:29Oh, yeah.

00:45:30Yeah.

00:45:30Watching them...

00:45:30Watching them roll.

00:45:31And they get a little bit of a roll and then explode.

00:45:34I feel like...

00:45:34And they have a bit of a delay as opposed to the first bombs where it's gonna explode.

00:45:37Yeah.

00:45:37So you've got...

00:45:38So you've got 40 seconds left and you've got, uh, your stingray ready.

00:45:40Oh, nice, nice, nice.

00:45:42Oh.

00:45:42Come here, you.

00:45:43Oh, stay still so I can splat you.

00:45:45Oh, you got it.

00:45:46That was awesome.

00:45:46Thank you.

00:45:47Very, very satisfying.

00:45:49That was awesome.

00:45:49That was such a good example because you could see you moving toward him but it was like...

00:45:52Yeah.

00:45:54That person's probably a little...

00:45:55A little bummed out.

00:45:56I think that's what's play...

00:45:57That's what's in play of the stream so far.

00:45:59That was awesome.

00:45:59Just to show again the...

00:46:02Drop down and then try to...

00:46:03Oh, no!

00:46:04Someone came up from behind us.

00:46:06That's all right.

00:46:07I think...

00:46:07Oh, we did not execute that.

00:46:08Yeah, they made a late push.

00:46:10That's all right, Team Blue.

00:46:12You earned that.

00:46:16That stingray...

00:46:17Splat, though.

00:46:18I know.

00:46:18That was fantastic.

00:46:21Okay.

00:46:21What do you want to hit up next?

00:46:23I want to check out...

00:46:24I want to actually check out the splatter shot again.

00:46:25Is there anything that we did not show fully yet?

00:46:28I feel like we maybe haven't shown off the tenta missiles.

00:46:32Have we landed those yet?

00:46:34I'm hoping we can get a gift.

00:46:34We got those once.

00:46:35I know we got hit by those.

00:46:36At some point...

00:46:36I was thinking about doing that too, yeah.

00:46:38If we could get a tenta missiles from a nice, far-off vantage point where you can actually

00:46:41see a target three or four...

00:46:42I can't make any promises, but I can try.

00:46:46Let's see.

00:46:46Yeah, that will be with the splatter shot, so...

00:46:48Yeah.

00:46:49So this time, this is my request for you, Ethan.

00:46:51Okay.

00:46:51Once you have the special full, like, super jump back to your base and then find a high point

00:46:56to where you can try and then fire it off.

00:46:59That's probably a much better move than my attempt to unleash it in the middle of the map.

00:47:04You don't have to.

00:47:05You don't have to.

00:47:05Well...

00:47:06I'll do my best.

00:47:08Johnny Josh.

00:47:09Yahtzee.

00:47:10Takuji.

00:47:10Saito.

00:47:12Okay.

00:47:13I like that we're getting a good international feel to, uh...

00:47:16That's why we call it the Global Testfire.

00:47:18A player base here.

00:47:21Back at Muscle Forge Fitness.

00:47:22Nice.

00:47:27Alright.

00:47:28Let's get some hands laid down.

00:47:29So I am one of those people that usually doesn't run right to the forefront, but instead likes

00:47:34to make sure that no, you know, valuable points go, you know, unaccounted for by...

00:47:40I don't like to leave...

00:47:41I just saw you miss, like, 12 little spots.

00:47:44Well, it's about efficiency.

00:47:45I mean, you know, you don't want to take too much time to just get every last spot.

00:47:52It is really frustrating when you lose a match and then you see that final map and your own base

00:47:56space isn't covered.

00:47:57This is also a good way to really build up your special quickly.

00:48:02So Morgan wanted me, I believe the request was, to go back to spawn point.

00:48:08Oh, did I do that right?

00:48:08I may have actually jumped right into the middle of the battle.

00:48:11Oh, hey, that's alright.

00:48:12That's okay.

00:48:12No, that's fine.

00:48:13Get right in the middle there.

00:48:14Right on that high point in the middle.

00:48:15And then...

00:48:16Oh, watch out!

00:48:18And then, uh, anywhere you can try to get at least two people in your...

00:48:21Alright, just rain it down.

00:48:23You can see it.

00:48:24There you go.

00:48:25Oh, nice!

00:48:25Got somebody with it.

00:48:26Okay, that's good.

00:48:28I'm really in...

00:48:29It's like...

00:48:31Kind of the danger zone, but that's alright.

00:48:32Orange central over here.

00:48:33You can maybe jump out if you want to.

00:48:35That looks like you should make them come over here.

00:48:36It's just one of those...

00:48:37The chaos of the Turf War to like...

00:48:38You know, we want...

00:48:39We're like, oh, get the ten missile and target four people.

00:48:41But when it does happen naturally, and you do get three or four people targeted by it,

00:48:44and you see those missiles go down, it feels so good.

00:48:46It really does.

00:48:49That's what I think is awesome about Splatoon of Generals.

00:48:51Like, in Turf War...

00:48:52You know, Turf War is sort of the...

00:48:54You know, sort of the main mode, or the...

00:48:56The mode where you start out at.

00:48:57And just the type of gameplay where you're constantly covering the map.

00:49:01It sort of moves everybody around the map.

00:49:03Like, keeps you moving.

00:49:04And because of that, it creates all these different gameplay situations where...

00:49:07You know, things...

00:49:09I feel like even though you could play match after match,

00:49:11and the same things aren't usually going to happen because people are just...

00:49:14Swirling all over the map.

00:49:15Things are changing.

00:49:16It's dynamic.

00:49:16Like, the match changes right up to the last minute.

00:49:18So...

00:49:18I think given the length of the matches too, it doesn't feel super frustrating.

00:49:22Like...

00:49:22Oh, I put so much time and energy and that didn't work out.

00:49:24So it's okay.

00:49:25It's a short match.

00:49:26You finish up and you move into the next run.

00:49:27Hopefully I'm not jumping into that spot here.

00:49:27Well, sometimes you know as a player too, it's like...

00:49:29In the last 20 seconds you're making a push and you take like a bad...

00:49:33Like you get splatted and you're like,

00:49:34I shouldn't have gotten splatted there.

00:49:36And you know that you probably were the difference and like...

00:49:39Like...

00:49:39I let my team down, but...

00:49:40I'll get it next time.

00:49:44Nice.

00:49:45Too bad.

00:49:46There they come.

00:49:47Nice, we got one.

00:49:51So one thing we haven't really touched upon, looking at the Inklings here,

00:49:54we've got...

00:49:55I mean, some very fresh outfits...

00:49:57Back against the wall.

00:49:57...going on on the Inklings here.

00:49:58And of course in the test bar, it's just kind of randomized gear that folks have right now.

00:50:02Yeah, it's just standard gear.

00:50:02But it's not just aesthetics.

00:50:04You want to talk a little bit about the gear and...

00:50:06It's got some added value to it.

00:50:07For those of you who have played Splatoon 1, you know how the gear works.

00:50:10If you're new to Splatoon, you know in the game you equip different shoes, different headgear,

00:50:14different clothes, and those have different attributes that, you know,

00:50:17they might increase your swim speed, they might increase the time your special...

00:50:21how fast your special fills, how much your ink take...

00:50:24how quickly your ink runs out, or how quickly it fills up, so...

00:50:27Ugh!

00:50:28It's a really nice way, I mean, partly just to make your Inkling look really cool,

00:50:32but also to really optimize your Inkling for your gameplay style.

00:50:34I know, it's always that...

00:50:35Yeah, because the gear, like say it's a certain hat, like that...

00:50:38You know, in the first game it's like that's how...

00:50:41Or in the game that's how it works, like you...

00:50:42The hat comes with those attributes.

00:50:44Right.

00:50:45So you're like, ooh, that hat looks cool, but I don't know if I need swim speed up,

00:50:48versus this hat that...

00:50:49You know, I'll wear this hat because it gives me this other attribute that I like.

00:50:53and you can really kind of min-max yourself for the kind of Inkling you want to be.

00:50:56Yeah.

00:50:57Do you want to continue on with the Splatter Shower or...?

00:51:00Yeah, I'll take a run with the Splatter Shower.

00:51:01Okay.

00:51:02Let me jump you back in.

00:51:03Redeem me.

00:51:05I'm 50-50.

00:51:06Jeez, Yoshka.

00:51:07It's still...

00:51:07We're still over 90% win ratio though, so...

00:51:10I'm bringing the...

00:51:11bringing the...

00:51:13win ratio down.

00:51:14Yeah, because we've got one, two, three, four, five, divided by...

00:51:15times 12, yeah, 90%.

00:51:17Okay, we're still at 90%, that's good.

00:51:21I'm the first person with two splat losses on the board.

00:51:26No, I've got two splat losses.

00:51:27I see some new...

00:51:27Oh, I didn't see your other splat there.

00:51:29We've got some new names.

00:51:30We've got Lane this time.

00:51:31Okay.

00:51:31Lost Namer's still with us.

00:51:33Johnny Josh.

00:51:35Ahmet.

00:51:37I hope that there's somebody out there who's watching the stream

00:51:40and that gets matched with us and is like,

00:51:41wow.

00:51:42You know, that'd be cool.

00:51:43Or they're just going to single us out.

00:51:45We're going to get just brutalized.

00:51:46That would be bad.

00:51:47That's probably exactly what happened to me last time.

00:51:50I'm sure that's why I lost.

00:51:52I'm willing to back that up, yes.

00:51:54That is most certainly what did happen.

00:51:58All right.

00:51:59I'm back here in the sunny outdoor reef area.

00:52:05Morgan's making an early push right into the middle.

00:52:07Whoa!

00:52:07Oh, careful!

00:52:08Splat Charger waiting for you on top of that hill.

00:52:10Nope.

00:52:11It's nice having that visual indicator as well, too.

00:52:13So if you're quick about it, you'll notice that that's coming your way

00:52:15and you can get somewhere a little bit more hidden.

00:52:18He's all charged up.

00:52:20He's looking for a spot.

00:52:22Oh!

00:52:23While he was in the map.

00:52:25It whiffed.

00:52:27So unfortunately, he loses a bit of his special gauge.

00:52:33So he's going to have to build that back up again.

00:52:35But...

00:52:35Whoa, buddy.

00:52:36Look at this guy flying into our base.

00:52:38You see that?

00:52:38He's got somebody with the inkjet who's getting a little out of control.

00:52:41So check this out.

00:52:41Special gauge is ready.

00:52:42That's a good spot.

00:52:43I'm going to swim up on this.

00:52:44I'm going to stand up here.

00:52:45Oh, nice.

00:52:45You've got a good vantage.

00:52:46Get your spot.

00:52:47Okay, go for it.

00:52:47Go for it.

00:52:48We've got two, three.

00:52:50See if this works out.

00:52:52Oh, nice.

00:52:53One.

00:52:54Definitely won't there.

00:52:58That was a good vantage spot though.

00:53:00That's my spot.

00:53:01Until they noticed you.

00:53:02Well, it's not a hidey hole.

00:53:03It's my hiding perch.

00:53:04Hey, give your team some this ways.

00:53:08Oh, yeah.

00:53:09Let them know it's time.

00:53:11Yeah.

00:53:11It's time to make the push.

00:53:13I'm running out of ink though.

00:53:14I know.

00:53:15Everything's pink.

00:53:15I wasn't doing a good job of ink management.

00:53:18You got this.

00:53:20I'll go get him.

00:53:21Where'd he go?

00:53:22Where'd he go?

00:53:22Oh, buddy.

00:53:23Oh, my gosh.

00:53:24I was going to go get him.

00:53:24Focus on the guy in front of me.

00:53:27Good job to that roller player though.

00:53:28That was a nice move.

00:53:29Yeah.

00:53:29Very, very solid roller play.

00:53:34Okay.

00:53:36I'm worried about the inkjet guy because I know that he's

00:53:38already figured out.

00:53:39I know.

00:53:39He can use it.

00:53:40That's it.

00:53:41This is the first test fire and he's already figured out

00:53:42that he can use that to mob into our base.

00:53:45And now he's got you taking that into account.

00:53:48You know, moving.

00:53:48You know, you feel nervous even moving around your own base

00:53:51because you're not sure when the inkjet can strike again.

00:53:54Get him out of there.

00:53:55There we go.

00:53:56Oh, Morgan.

00:53:56If you're able to do this while when you're.

00:53:58Whoa.

00:53:58Oh, gosh.

00:53:59Next time you're able to unleash your special,

00:54:01maybe grab a screenshot while it's going off.

00:54:02Oh, yeah, I will.

00:54:03Yeah.

00:54:03I'll try to aim it too so we can see those things flying up

00:54:06and cruising along this.

00:54:07That's what I really want is the look of those.

00:54:10Because the ten of missiles are sort of like these little,

00:54:12they look like little squid or tentacle things,

00:54:15hence ten of missiles.

00:54:16It's pretty cool just seeing them about to descend on your target.

00:54:19That was an incredible shot.

00:54:22That was a good shot lane.

00:54:23Yeah, that didn't.

00:54:23I can't even be mad about that.

00:54:24I feel like that guy has played his platoon before.

00:54:27Hopefully.

00:54:27Maybe not.

00:54:28It's not.

00:54:32Alright.

00:54:34Whoa, taking heat.

00:54:35Coverage in the middle is looking decidedly pink, but.

00:54:38Yeah, but it's about to get tent-a-missle though.

00:54:41Okay, find your spot.

00:54:42You gotta do some more inkling.

00:54:44Oh, good spot.

00:54:45Oh, he's ready.

00:54:45Screenshot.

00:54:46Find somebody.

00:54:48Capture.

00:54:49Here they go.

00:54:52Capture taken.

00:54:52Didn't get anybody, but that's okay.

00:54:54That's alright.

00:54:55It's like muscle memory.

00:54:56I'm like, where's the capture button?

00:54:57I'm even used to this.

00:54:58Yeah.

00:54:59Oh, could you hook me up with a roller?

00:55:00I'll give it a go next time.

00:55:01Yeah.

00:55:02I think I'd be still one though.

00:55:03Oh, man.

00:55:05You know.

00:55:09Judd and his associate beg to differ.

00:55:11Yeah.

00:55:13Oh, well.

00:55:13Hey, you were top of the charts for your team.

00:55:15I was top of my team.

00:55:15I'm going to blame my teammates here.

00:55:16No shame.

00:55:19Alright.

00:55:19You actually continued on, I think, with the splatter shot.

00:55:25No worries.

00:55:25Feel free to play twice in a row.

00:55:29Oh, no, you guys.

00:55:30The number of splats is increasing.

00:55:33Yeah.

00:55:34It's alright.

00:55:34I feel like we're probably up against some very skilled platoon players out here.

00:55:40We've got to get some more wins on the board.

00:55:42I'll see what I can do.

00:55:43You know.

00:55:43No pressure.

00:55:44No, not at all.

00:55:45It's all good.

00:55:45We're trying to have a nice curve.

00:55:48Well, we're also trying to disseminate our research findings to, you know.

00:55:53Talking and playing is not easy.

00:55:55It's not.

00:55:56And we have a lot of information to convey.

00:55:59So we've got some new people joining in this time, it looks like.

00:56:03Uh-oh.

00:56:04That person's named Wiz.

00:56:06Hopefully they're not a splatoon wizard or something like that.

00:56:09It's probably a wizard.

00:56:12Possibly.

00:56:12A wizard.

00:56:14And, yeah, if you guys are playing at home, like, you try.

00:56:18Like, we've all been trying all the weapons and, like, you know, I'd encourage you, you know,

00:56:22try the weapon that maybe you weren't familiar with.

00:56:23Yeah.

00:56:24This is a good opportunity for us.

00:56:25I'm determined in Splatoon 2 to, like, learn all the weapons.

00:56:28Experiment, yeah.

00:56:28I definitely, like, pigeonholed myself and became really good at certain types.

00:56:31But I want to become, like, an all well-rounded player.

00:56:34You've got to target your weaknesses.

00:56:34So, you know, use this test fire to, like, spend some time with the charger.

00:56:37Spend some time with the, if you're never into rollers.

00:56:39Definitely check out the duallys.

00:56:40Try it out.

00:56:41You know.

00:56:41Because there might be those little tweaks to those weapons, like we said, with the roller.

00:56:44Like, maybe that tweak where now that you have that longer swath, maybe that changes how you approach that weapon.

00:56:48Or maybe the ability to charge up a charger and then swim a little bit and pop out.

00:56:53Maybe that changes.

00:56:54Maybe that fits your aggressive mindset.

00:56:56The more familiar you are with some of these weapons that are making a reappearance, the more you might notice,

00:57:04you know, small details in the way you move, you know, the animations that your character is going to make

00:57:11when using them.

00:57:12So, be sure to check them out.

00:57:14I think it's important to, like, also learn, not just in the test fire, but in the game, it's important

00:57:18to learn how all the specials work.

00:57:20Right.

00:57:20Because a lot of times, like, defending against a special is just as important as, like, knowing how to use

00:57:24it offensively.

00:57:24Like, you want to learn that if you see an inkjet that they're going to fly back to where they

00:57:29launch from.

00:57:30Okay, she's ready to go.

00:57:31And what that looks like.

00:57:33Target's acquired.

00:57:34Boom!

00:57:34Let's see if we come up with any hits.

00:57:36Not this time around, but.

00:57:38No.

00:57:39But, like.

00:57:40Got some coverage.

00:57:41Yeah, exactly.

00:57:42Like, even though you didn't take anyone out, you're still dropping eight there.

00:57:45Oh, I saw.

00:57:45We've got a roller.

00:57:46We've got a roller.

00:57:47Oh, dodge roller.

00:57:47Nice.

00:57:47I mean, not a roller, but a dodge roller.

00:57:50Somebody already making strategic use of the jewelies, though.

00:57:53That's awesome to see, actually.

00:57:53That makes me really happy.

00:57:55Yeah.

00:57:55That is nice.

00:57:56That's okay.

00:57:56I'm going to get some base coverage here with these last little corners.

00:57:59Got somebody pushing in.

00:58:01Trying to make some inroads.

00:58:04Let's move over this way.

00:58:05One thing we saw just a bit ago with the inkjet, somebody else was using that.

00:58:10that inkjet special, and Sam was hiding out.

00:58:15Whoa, get out of there!

00:58:15Oh!

00:58:16I was trying to jump to that next pass because it did not work.

00:58:18That's like, even though you got splatted by that, that is like one of the best feelings

00:58:20in Splatoon is when you're rolling and you just, you don't even have to get out of your

00:58:23way.

00:58:23You're going from point A to point B rolling, and there's somebody in your way, and you just

00:58:26pull out them from behind.

00:58:27as you laugh maniacally at their tomb.

00:58:29I didn't even have to try.

00:58:33Okay.

00:58:33Out of ink.

00:58:37There you go.

00:58:44Take the bridge back, maybe.

00:58:47Oh.

00:58:48Tenta missiles are ready.

00:58:49Target acquired.

00:58:51Oh.

00:58:51See, they're down there.

00:58:52There you are.

00:58:53Come here.

00:58:54He's going to land right here.

00:58:55Oh, you got him anyway.

00:58:57Nice.

00:58:57Okay, there we go.

00:58:58And that was a good example of, you know, the Tenta missiles, they target somebody, and

00:59:01they fly above where they were when you targeted them and drop from above.

00:59:05So that person had kept running and sort of made it out of the blast radius of the

00:59:08missiles.

00:59:09Ran right into Sam's trap.

00:59:10Exactly.

00:59:11I'm totally going to call it a trap that I laid on purpose because I do things

00:59:14intentionally.

00:59:15Nice.

00:59:15like that.

00:59:16Exactly.

00:59:17Totally intentional.

00:59:19Oh, yeah.

00:59:19Look, you got behind him.

00:59:20Oh, come here, you.

00:59:22Oh, no.

00:59:23Oh, no.

00:59:23Oh.

00:59:24Look at that poster.

00:59:25Good job, Wiz.

00:59:26He's got some revenge.

00:59:27I know.

00:59:28I could spend hours.

00:59:29I don't even mean, like, I actually mean it, like, not as hyperbole.

00:59:32I could spend hours looking at the stuff on every stage, like, on the walls and stuff.

00:59:35That's why you're a researcher.

00:59:37I know.

00:59:38And, you know, that's one thing, you know, you can do.

00:59:41Your teammates might not super appreciate it, but.

00:59:44I'm just going to hang out here and do another screenshot to show what that's like.

00:59:46You know.

00:59:47Bam.

00:59:48Done.

00:59:48If you're going to be playing in the test fire a lot.

00:59:51Nice, nice, nice, nice.

00:59:51Double.

00:59:52Double splat.

00:59:53Double splat.

00:59:53Oh, one more special.

00:59:55Let it rip.

00:59:55Where are you?

00:59:56Oh.

00:59:57I know.

00:59:58Take some time.

00:59:59You know, you don't always have to be, you know, trying to be MVP in every match.

01:00:01Oh, this is going to be so close.

01:00:02Oh, come on.

01:00:03Get ready to grab a capture.

01:00:04I feel like this is going to be a close win.

01:00:06Come on.

01:00:07Yes.

01:00:07You did pull out the win.

01:00:08It wasn't super close.

01:00:09That was good.

01:00:10I'll take it.

01:00:10I don't need it to be a far distant victory.

01:00:14I got focused on wanting to capture a screenshot.

01:00:17Wow.

01:00:181784.

01:00:19That's an impressive score.

01:00:20Oh, thank you.

01:00:21All right.

01:00:21So let's exit out and grab a new weapon this time.

01:00:23All right.

01:00:24What would you like?

01:00:25Let's see.

01:00:27Splatter shot.

01:00:28Yeah.

01:00:29If you're playing at home and you keep hitting continue, hit exit once in a while,

01:00:31switch your weapon, you know.

01:00:32So we haven't shown the roller a lot or the.

01:00:34I'll go with roller again.

01:00:35Let's go with roller.

01:00:35Thank you.

01:00:36Thank you, Yoshka.

01:00:38That's a.

01:00:39Oh, she's happy again.

01:00:40That's good.

01:00:40If we do well enough, we get to keep our jobs.

01:00:43Yeah.

01:00:43If not, we're in trouble.

01:00:47No, but the inkjet, I was trying to get this out.

01:00:51But like you were saying, there's kind of a bunch of different aspects about a lot of

01:00:54these new specials.

01:00:55So you're up in the air, you know, lobbing ink blobs at people.

01:01:00But meanwhile, you're also hitting the ground with.

01:01:03Below you.

01:01:04And Sam was kind of hiding in the cover.

01:01:07Yeah.

01:01:08Provided by the person above her with the inkjet.

01:01:11And so that even if you're getting, you know, sprayed by other people while your ally is using a special,

01:01:18you're still safe in the protection provided by their inkjets raining down on you.

01:01:22Yeah.

01:01:22The team strategy is like when people get like, you know, coordinated teams where you have,

01:01:27you sort of pick your loadouts based on specials that work together and the ways.

01:01:30Oh my gosh.

01:01:31Yeah.

01:01:32It's definitely a game where the teamwork mechanic is really important.

01:01:34We were talking about that earlier.

01:01:34Like imagining like a team, like I don't know if it would be the most effective strategy,

01:01:37but if you had a team with four inkjets and you were all just like flying at once.

01:01:40Oh, that would be real.

01:01:41You would at least win like intimidation factor.

01:01:44Like I don't want to see that.

01:01:44Can you imagine four of those flying at you?

01:01:45Like right of the Valkyries playing as you score over the map.

01:01:50That's terrifying.

01:01:50Doing barrel.

01:01:51I don't think you can do that, but.

01:01:56There's actually someone using the rock climbing equipment over there.

01:01:58Exactly.

01:02:00I love the details.

01:02:03Yeah, this place is serious.

01:02:04Like this gym, I mean, look at the rock, like.

01:02:07I saw some guys doing some workouts back there.

01:02:10I'm just going to build up my special, make sure we get most of our turf inked

01:02:15back here.

01:02:18And your special's got some really interesting strategic applications,

01:02:22particularly when it comes to saving your teammates.

01:02:24Yeah, hopefully.

01:02:25It would be great if I could actually use it in that way.

01:02:30As you showed already, since you can use it from a super jump,

01:02:32if you see somebody's getting totally boxed in, they're about to get swarmed,

01:02:35and you can just land right on top, save the day with that.

01:02:38And I think the only time you showed it was during a super jump.

01:02:41You don't actually have to use it during a super jump, though.

01:02:43You can also just launch it.

01:02:44Protect yourself if someone's coming.

01:02:45Launch it anywhere.

01:02:47Oh, nice.

01:02:48Oh, you got it.

01:02:48You're ready.

01:02:49I say you just get into the heat and then just fire it off.

01:02:54Did I not get somebody?

01:02:55Wait.

01:02:56Oh.

01:02:56Dude, there's no way that that guy did that.

01:02:58I don't know.

01:02:58I feel like...

01:02:59Hack source?

01:02:59Just kidding.

01:03:02I think he was really lucky.

01:03:04All right.

01:03:05Still making good progress.

01:03:06Someone's in the ink right around there.

01:03:07I know.

01:03:08I saw them.

01:03:08They probably saw my roller coming, and they're just staying away.

01:03:11Oh, that's okay.

01:03:13I left a good trail behind me that they're at least going to have to clean up.

01:03:17Now, let's see.

01:03:18Oh, my.

01:03:19This is really dead even right now.

01:03:20Oh, no.

01:03:20Can I jump?

01:03:21It's kind of touch and go.

01:03:22I'm not sure if this is safe.

01:03:24I'm going to back off as quickly as I can.

01:03:25Get out of there!

01:03:26Oh, no!

01:03:27Brought up my map when I meant to jump.

01:03:31All right.

01:03:33Sorry, it's still early.

01:03:34It's only halfway through the match.

01:03:36Yeah.

01:03:37Make a comeback.

01:03:38I like that about Turf War 2.

01:03:41Like, personally, I feel like you can make mistakes early and recover.

01:03:44You know?

01:03:44Yeah.

01:03:45If I make a mistake early and just do something that I shouldn't have,

01:03:47for taking easy splits.

01:03:50I feel like I can come back, but then in the last 30 seconds,

01:03:54if you make a mistake, it's awful.

01:03:55Oh, good job.

01:03:56Wait.

01:03:56That was roller on roller.

01:03:57Oh.

01:03:58Took each other out.

01:03:59That's brutal.

01:04:00But I got that person who was using the...

01:04:04Whoa!

01:04:04Sorry.

01:04:05We had one of our off-screen researchers giving us some information,

01:04:08and I jumped right into the pool there.

01:04:11I'm just going to bring up a map.

01:04:13Oh, you got to make a push.

01:04:14Come on.

01:04:14Touch and go.

01:04:15In there.

01:04:16As a roller, you've got a job to do, which is to get this ink back.

01:04:20Ignoring everybody else.

01:04:21Just put this thing down.

01:04:22Get that turf.

01:04:25That's some good spread, though.

01:04:26I'm going to save up some more.

01:04:28Go for it again.

01:04:30Oh, you can totally get.

01:04:31Oh, what?

01:04:32What are you doing?

01:04:33Keep going.

01:04:33Keep rolling.

01:04:34Keep rolling.

01:04:34You can bring this back.

01:04:35No.

01:04:37That's all right.

01:04:38There's 30 seconds.

01:04:38You can still do this.

01:04:40Help me out.

01:04:43Jump to the action.

01:04:44I think you still got this.

01:04:4520 seconds.

01:04:45One last push.

01:04:46I don't know.

01:04:46This is close.

01:04:47You can get at least one kill.

01:04:50Last push.

01:04:51Just don't stop rolling.

01:04:53Come on, Ethan.

01:04:54You can do it.

01:04:54Come on.

01:04:58Someone's in the ink nearby.

01:04:59Get him, get him, get him, get him.

01:05:00There's your first push down.

01:05:01Oh, no.

01:05:03I feel like that's the critical mistake.

01:05:04I feel like that was the difference.

01:05:06I think that was.

01:05:07That would have decided it.

01:05:09It's actually not.

01:05:10I don't know.

01:05:10I think you're going to lose.

01:05:11Fingers crossed.

01:05:11We lost the middle.

01:05:14Oh, yeah.

01:05:15I'm going to capture that.

01:05:16Oh, what a win.

01:05:17Wow.

01:05:18That's like 0.6%.

01:05:20And that's a really good place to end, actually,

01:05:22because I think that's about all the time that we've got.

01:05:24My 1573 points.

01:05:26That was solid.

01:05:27I feel like you were the MVP, though,

01:05:29because you as the roller did your job in the late game.

01:05:32As you criticized me for not using the slashtown.

01:05:34That's good.

01:05:34The important thing is you didn't lose heart.

01:05:36You stuck with it.

01:05:37Thank you very much.

01:05:37You kept covering with the ink.

01:05:38Let's tally up our wins.

01:05:39It looks like we ended up with.

01:05:40Oh, I finally ended with a win.

01:05:42Seven wins, six losses.

01:05:45That's 100%.

01:05:46We have 100% win rate.

01:05:47More wins than losses is 100% win ratio.

01:05:49Okay.

01:05:49That sounds good.

01:05:50So we did it.

01:05:51Yeah.

01:05:51I will trust the map.

01:05:52We'll have our statistician check that afterward.

01:05:54Seems reasonable.

01:05:55Yeah.

01:05:55So before we take off, though,

01:05:57we should throw up the slide that we've got

01:05:58with the Test Fire details.

01:05:59So here you go, folks watching at home.

01:06:01These are the other Pacific Times listed here

01:06:04that you can take part in the Test Fire.

01:06:05And if you want to do this, if you have a Switch,

01:06:07all you need to do is go to Nintendo eShop on your Switch,

01:06:10download the Global Test Fire ROM,

01:06:12and then jump in during one of these time slots.

01:06:14It's a big day.

01:06:15You can see tomorrow.

01:06:16It's a free demo download.

01:06:17We've got three different times you can play.

01:06:19The demo will be active during these times.

01:06:21Make sure you eyeball those times.

01:06:24Take a look at the time.

01:06:24The information is also available online.

01:06:26And take some screenshots.

01:06:27Share some strat with other players.

01:06:29We've got Octothorpe.

01:06:31Octothorpe Splatoon 2.

01:06:32Octothorpe Test Fire.

01:06:34All right.

01:06:34Also for layman's terms, hashtag Splatoon 2.

01:06:37Yeah.

01:06:37We can say that too.

01:06:38Octothorpe.

01:06:41Hey, Sam.

01:06:41We're set.

01:06:42Sir.

01:06:43Sir.

01:06:43That was really great.

01:06:44Thanks for doing some more research.

01:06:45Thank you guys.

01:06:46If you guys played with us or didn't,

01:06:47or if you're playing with the next sessions.

01:06:49Hope you guys are looking forward to it.

01:06:50We'll be in there somewhere on our personal sets.

01:06:52Watch out for SRL.

01:06:53And thank you so much for tuning in.

01:06:55So again, Splatoon 2 is going to launch in the summer,

01:06:57but the Test Fire is going on for the next few days.

01:06:59So if you missed that schedule, take a look,

01:07:01and we'll be back hopefully again with some more gameplay at some point.

01:07:05Yep.

01:07:06Thanks very much for tuning in.

01:07:07Stay fresh.

01:07:07All right.

01:07:08Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah.
