Stick controls or motion controls

[9DB]

I prefer stick controls because I fidget and move a lot as I play

I tried motion control but I get motion sick. Maybe it's because I'm not used to it.

The motion controls are very hard to use if you have someone bumping into every minute. (that’s me, I get bumped by someone every minute )

It's pretty well understood that analog sticks are terrible for aiming, it's just something consoles have been stuck with since they don't want to support mouse. There's a reason why every other console shooter has heavy aim assist to compensate for it. But since Splatoon is designed and balanced around gyro, there's no aim assist whatsoever, leaving stick at a heavy disadvantage.

Analog sticks can only control your reticle's velocity, not its exact position. You're capped on how fast you can move to your target. And don't think that simply turning the sensitivity up solves the problem, because then trying to make precise adjustments becomes a struggle. You're forced to choose between speed or precision, can't have both.

Gyro finally offers a real positional input scheme on console. You can move the gyro any distance and your reticle will instantly move to that exact position. Speed and precision are both possible. It's the same principle as a mouse.

it is true that motion has better aim.

Motion controls are the og of splatoon I use them and never switch back to stick controls because it feels weird

I remember using motion controls in splatoon 1 and near the beginning of my time with splatoon 2. However, I switched over to stick controls due to fatigue, motion sickness, and mainly playing in handheld mode. I simply didn't wanna swing my whole console around while playing hgfxsfhx. I acknowledge that motion control is the better way to play if you want to perfect the craft, however I'm a pretty good casual player and am comfortable with my skill level.

well I just reverted to motion controls as a challange for me and I actually like it so now I use motion controls

 

[Ktdubz]

I play on a switch lite, so motion controls don’t work too well for me

Definitely motion,yes they will take time getting used to but the practice is so worth it.

One of my friends swears by stick but he's a inkbrush one trick, which is one of the few weapons where the main upside of motion(fast precise aiming over stick flicking which is extremely inprecise but can turn at wider angles) isn't super relavent.

in general though, getting any level of skill is going to require you to practice with motion, especially for weapons that need precision aim to get kills(chargers/blasters/long range weapons that you need to watch your ink on and make the most of each tank like .96 or ballpoint, etc)

stick control is better for people who main chargers for better accuracy

no????
you need to be able to flick to consistently hit shots from fast moving targets, because missing is extremely punishing outside specifically pencil where its main focus is more on paint support/cooler spam/damage combos with its 58 damage threshold. sticks only just simply doesn't have the precision needed for that task.

That being said, for chargers you usually want negative motion because you rarely if ever need to flick beyond a 180 degree angle and being able to hit the shots in that radius consistently is more important than the rare time where a enemy player manages to get behind you and engage you from behind(usually, if this happens, either you're not getting enough kills, your frontline players are dying too much, or its a map specific flank or route that a player can slip by, like the stacks on Mako Mart or the backline perch on Barnacle)

I personally use -2.5 motion 0 sticks

I am saying that because even tho I don't main chargers I would use stick control even tho I have been using motion control ever since I started playing Splatoon 3
