Motion Controls Rant / Whine

[Fumako]

Ok, so I got a switch and splatoon about a week ago and I'm LOVING it.
Right now I've decided to stop being stubborn and learn motion controls because yay actually aiming.
I am then, after turning it on, immediately uncomfortable.

Don't get me wrong, I'm actually liking the motion controls. I've been grinding out learning charger flicks for the past hour and am steadily getting more comfortable and consistent.

However,
Nintendo, why
oh why oh why,
do motion controls turn off the stick's y-axis?

Splatoon 2 might actually cause me my first video game related injury by spraining my wrists whenever I have to fight anyone with the high ground. Or whenever I jump, look down, and ink a path ahead. (Repetitive motions can actually cause serious problems if you're doing a lot of movements so take a break often, kids~)

Dear Nintendo, please. What is this soykaf?
Fix this so I can start working towards getting S+ exclusively using the Goo Tuber. (Not a joke.)

Oh, and, I guess hi!
I'm new here and I didn't see an "Introduce yourself thread"
Don't worry, I usually have the patience of a saint. And not the ones who hit people who don't agree with them. I just hate bad control stuff.

Welcome to squidboards!

Use a higher sensitivity so you don't sprain your wrists.

I have a squad mate who has reached S+ using 3 weapons which included the goo tuber.

@Fumako

How are you holding the controller, and which controller set up are you using?

Here's a video on the subject, I hope it helps.

I think once you've gotten totally accustomed to the motion controls you'll be glad that the Y-axis is disabled on the control stick.

It took me a while to get used to them too (in Splatoon 1, so thankfully for this game I already mastered them from launch), but it's worth it.

This image might help you as it helps me.


I would also suggest putting the sensitivity up especially if your using chargers to get those sick flicks!

I would recommend a higher sensitivity, but I agree that it should be optional to still be able to use the Y-Axis for motion controls.

 

[Fumako]

Hm, I see a lot of people saying to turn up the sensitivity, what are y'all using?
I'm using 0 on motion and -3 on stick since this was what I saw in a motion control propaganda video and it was pretty comfy.

Whoa. Definitely need higher sensitivity. I go 5 on both, but I've read that starting around 1.5-2 on both is a good idea. Then you can step it up as needed from there.

 

[BBGrenorange]

Sensitivity depends a lot on personal preference and weapon choice.

What weapon are you using?

I am using Stick: -1, Motion: +3 as I like it the most. But as BBGrenorange said, it depends alot on personal preference and the weapons choice. I am using very long-ranged shooters (Jet-Squelcher, SplattershotPro and Dual Squelchers).

Ohh... And as long as you don't break your arm while playing video games everything is OK(I think. My brother managed to break his arm while playing Wii Sports Baseball).
