I Used Stick Controls for 7 Days, Here's What Happened

[@rosalinadee632]

i got to level 30 something using stick controls because motion was confusing at first and i didn’t feel like learning, but then one day i decided to actually give motion controls a shot and i got 3 gold medals 10 times in a row and i’ve been a lot better ever since. if you are reading this as a stick player, PLEASE give motion controls a fair chance i know it seems weird and uncomfortable at first but play around 5-10 matches and you’ll get used to them. although if it makes you motion sick or you already tried them and you prefer stick controls that’s fine, but otherwise i highly recommend motion. ANYWAYS HAVE FUN AND HAPPY SPLATTING‼️

[@abdoulayem.bousso5448]

Same for me lol

[@meptune0335]

SAME. I’m not gonna lie, motion did make me feel sick at first, but i got a vr after i started and kinda just got used to it. Motion is the way to go for new players and mid/veteran players hoping to play competitive, perhaps join a team, or just want to be good at the game in general. I transitioned RECENTLY, and i’m already comfy. Of course, don’t push yourself to use motion if it makes you feel sick, uncomfortable, or uneasy.

[@draygon6909]

Same, played S2 for 400 hours with sticks and I got used to it pretty quickly, switched in S3 though

[@BJgobbleDix]

The issue here is Splatoon lacks more in-depth Gyro Aim (Motion Control) settings. If Acceleration existed, you can completely increase your maximum range of motion with minimal physical movement and still be quite steady. I actually made a video about this not too long ago for CoD where I was able to optimize the use of Acceleration so I had access to MUCH higher Sensitivity levels while still being able to stay steady, thus giving me a feeling a greater freedom and control: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2WUeqKcqdilhLMsi=oZeD5QRX6425pX4Z

[@Radi0Active01]

I never thought about having more advanced gyro control. Personally I have trouble deciding what sensitivity I wanna use anyways, so having that much more control would make that harder lol

[@BJgobbleDix]

@Radi0Active01 Part of the issue with you trying to find that right "sensitivity" feeling is because you probably feel like youre compromising somewhere from day to day. For example, you can crank up the Sens one day and be great while doing much closer ranged engagements (not worrying about long range and very precise aim). But the next, you may feel slightly "jittery" and playing more for longer range. I use to do the same when I had Linear Sensitivity (no Acceleration). But as I incorporated Acceleration into my settings, I noticed I was doing this less and less to the point where I actually love where my settings are now but only tweak my "Steadying" based on how my jitters may feel. I now have both great control of very fine movements for sniping, can track enemies well, and also have excellent range of motion thus using my Right Thumbstick quite minimally. If devs implemented Gyro Aim at the same depth as say Fortnite or MW3, you would be surprised how much you can manipulate the settings for your preference. Gyro Aim is arguably the most versatile input method currently because of this.

[@justawilliamsfan]

i've sunk 400 hours into splat3 using exclusively stick controls so whenever I see somebody struggling with sticks it makes me laugh

[@Driftwood-ML]

To be fair, Splatoon doesn't have aim assist for dual analog stick controls so it's harder to use than most other console shooters (though IMO I agree that motion is better and I'm kind of shocked it hasn't gotten more adoption in other games, at least from Sony since their controllers also have a motion sensor).

[@Radi0Active01]

Good point, I probably should've brought that up

[@Exshem]

It's due to how other companies implement motion controls in the nost gimmicky fashion resembling the Wii ( most being waggling which is both lazy and irritating).

I have played many other stick control based games before splatoon so when actually finally playing, the motion controls were/still is super nauseating and rather frustrating to use in my opinion. I absolutely love the idea of it, but it will never be a thing that I get use to (i also just turn my sensitivity up to the max for stick controls and tend to do rather well in the matches I play) Now, in salmon run motion controls seems better there for quick turns to get the eggs in the basket, but with max sensitivity it kinda replicates that for me

With Splatoon 3 I tend to take advantage of main weapon strafing and moving my character one direction while having the camera movement go along with the character. I also heavily utilize jumping to increase ink spread and heavily moving my character left and right in both humanoid and swim form) I do better with explaining via visuals of how I play vs explaining how I play with text though, but I hope this can help you with some tips/ideas on how to get better at stick controls if you ever want to try them again.

As a professional stick player. Motion controls on joy cons really suck and I tried motion and it just did NOT work out. It felt like there was this signal interference. And it just didn’t feel right. With sticks I can also play in any position like laying down and my wrists don’t have to be pointed at the screen. Also to answer your question as to why anyone would press the Y button is because it allows the camera to zoom quickly if you want to do a 180. also as a stick player I DO have precision. Having played for over 600 hours of Splatoon 3 on sticks I notice my hands make a ton of micro movements to line up my aim. So like it’s all instinct.

@@Radi0Active01no actually. I just checked and i have it on 2.3. (Tv) I prefer to be able to move the camera quickly. That’s why my thumb does micro adjustments all the time in rapid succession.

stick not stock

I use stick controls primarily because i play on Switch Lite aka always in handheld mode

I used to play splatoon 2 with stick controls idk how I did it….. no wonder I never got past level 14

[@squidboiiiiii5297]

haha u know what its like to be me, never play with motion in any game (i move too much irl)

[@ChrisTheCrap]

As someone who's controller doesn't support motion, this video feels sad

[@Radi0Active01]

It's a completely different game

[@silentmoone]

I get motion sickness using the motion control.

[@Sun_is_god_]

Awesome

[@Radi0Active01]

But of course

[@cheetahofthewind13]

Motion in this game does not feel nearly as good as it did in splatoon 1, I'll suffer through stick controls and with tri slinger and charger at that

[@Radi0Active01]

Maybe Splatoon 4 they'll finally improve on Splat 1 motion

[@cheetahofthewind13]

@@Radi0Active01 and with enough hopium maybe more stick settings to go along with better feeling motion controls

[@Freelancer837]

Motion controls in splatoon are better than stick controls in splatoon but they're both still bad in Splatoon. Something about Splatoon's motion controls control a lot worse than other games with it, and even a lot of games that don't naturally support it

[@ender4384]

i use stick as i play handheld/couldnt understand motion controls and mainly play scope chargers (:

[@espeon030]

I forgot what the y button does lol I use stick control

[@breverence]

I used sticks for a long time but had the same idea as you to try the other method. Spent a week on motion wasn’t really a fan but when I went back to stick I had forgotten all my muscle memory. So now I’m a motion control user. 😅

I got to x rank 2.1k power in sp2 using sticks on charge but I got into motion in3 - no turning back

[@Radi0Active01]

That's an incredible feat, especially for splat 2! Glad you joined the correct side though!

[@michaloomp1438]

I've used +5 sensitivity with sticks since splat 1 and have never deviated and win at least 85% of my ranked matches so seeing someone struggle so much with sticks is...interesting.

[@Radi0Active01]

85% huh. Do you play much? Surely you're pretty high ranked with that win rate. Quite impressive 👏

@@Radi0Active01 I used to play more but took quite a break from September to November but right now me and my bud are S+40

Holy crap. How? With sticks?? Do you play x battles much?

[@michaloomp1438]

@@Radi0Active01 I dabble in X rank but usually I just like to play salmon run and normal ranked and I guess the best reason to how I’m more used to sticks is because I play A LOT of shooter games that use sticks so I guess it’s just muscle memory :)

[@Madman46i]

As a stick main, For what purpose do people go like “oooh fun challenge to use sticks” and hate it, and most ppl i seen (havent watched the vid yet, wont blame you) tend to blame sticks being bad and go “never again”. Sticks can work if you just get good, this game doesn’t require perfect mechanics to be good anyways

[@Radi0Active01]

Switching to sticks after that many hours is what makes it a challenge. The reason most say "never again" is because most are motion players. I did a small poll, but about 77% of players are motion. It works vice versa as well. There are people in the comments saying they'll never try motion again. I'm not trying to diss your choices. Sorry if you took it that way.
