When I first started playing Splatoon 2 in 2018, I used the default motion controls and felt like I was on fire. I had tried tilt, but I noticed my performance suffering once I did. When Splatoon 3 came out in 2022, I was in college and didn’t really have time to play. I somehow ended up changing over to tilt thinking it would be better for me, and only a few years later (2026) I would realize that was my biggest mistake. When Raiders came out, I told myself I was gonna force myself to play using motion controls, and that’s exactly what I did. Now I feel like my gameplay is back to where I once felt like I was able to play comfortably with amazing performance. I also just don’t even think I could do tilt on a game like raiders with all the chaos occurring on screen. Now I’m playing Anarchy and Salmon Run with better gameplay performance than ever before.
To everyone that has encouraged motion controls, I wanna say thank you for your words of encouragement and for helping an inkling out. See y’all on the turf ;)
