Yeah some of the mechanics are counterintuitive in this compared to how Splatoon handles things. Different games have different skills. But it goes to show how much work the Foamstar dev team has done to make this game unique. Plus it is so well designed I was totally impressed!!
@@Reborn_NA it's interesting that you put jet on offense. I put him on defense support. i put tonix on offense support then rave breaker (i prefer the jp name Chaos Ender) for mid range/all rounder support
for pure rushdown offense theres: soa agito gwyn and long range dps is baristador and mel T (Mel T feels like a sniper in that she wants her targets distracted)
@@Reborn_NA as for mechanics, i think ppl need to really experiment with the game longer to get the most out of what is available in the game. just 1 open beta will not get “end game” top level functionality. at the best, ppl can emulate what you might see at the top level but it won't exactly be top level after the game releases
@@siekensou77 For sure, I am trying to pinpoint the 'supports' and how they properly function. Tonix certainly can be used offensively, I need more reps with the character and figure out how to best play around with their turret and alt fire. Jet can definitely use their tools defensively but the alt fire and 'splashdown' ability do such a good job of allowing you to get on top of the opponent. Plus the main fire does a ton of damage up close. I see their kit getting a lot of value being aggressive but can certainly also be used as escape/defensive tools. Most of the beta I played with Soa, Agito, Penny. Next time I have a chance to play the game I will be putting a lot more effort on Tonix, Rave, and Jet to fully understand how they function!!
Yes! I have some initial reactions to the game and ranked coming soon along with general guides and common mistakes I constantly see in my games. Stayed tuned... very very soon 🫡
@Reborn_NA Apparently @AaronFGC found a tech. Lookup his shorts for Wash Dash Run. Basically while in the air, alternate held item skill like Soa's Spiky bomb with the slideboard. Keep alternating when you are in the air to extend your horizontal movement
Ngl when I saw the first trailer and how the foam builds up I immediately thought this would be a good game if designed well, as there was enoughvpotential that somehow most people didn't see. I'm so glad they played their cards right and I hope it does well once it's out
As a non-player Splatoon fan, Foamstars' foam mechanics is distinct enough from its ink mechanic counterpart. I do hope that that with enough polish, this game type can finally be shown to other shooter players that this genre is so much more than having guns solely to kill your enemies.
I really like the way you put this! The core idea feels like it has longevity but the polish is important to attract people outside of the 'niche'. I think the style, the music, and environment has potential. Let's hope the full game has interesting ways to explore these ideas 🙏
You get my support for buying a ps5 for this game!✨ Its good to see this game on ps plus game. Along with it eventually gonna cost 30$ after this ps plus month is over in march!
for Happy Bath Survival i would use Bomberman or King's court dodgeball as references. when you die you are on the outside wreaking havoc. only in this mode, half of the team is pre designated outside the arena and swap places per round
This could be interesting! I am an old boomer that just prefers a 2v2 but if they had events or fun weekend game modes with these twists that'd be super cool!
i have seen 2 (3) streamers with high level gameplay. really interesting to watch. Eng youtuber: Gamingwithpersona JP youtuber: xxHaseshinxx there is also japanese cosplayer Enako (えなこ) who was on the same stream as haseshin but she uploaded her pov days later. haseshin was livestreaming the game at the time. personally i find the jp stream was higher level but they were all fun to watch
i'm unbelievably excited for the full release. played it for 11 hours during the demo LOL i have so many words to say about this game and nobody to throw them at
You and I both friend! I don't know how much longer I can wait. Who did you enjoy playing the most during the beta? I definitely had most success with Penny! 🐧🐧🐧🐧
@@Reborn_NA i had a lot of fun playing agito but i found myself being put into comps where he's either already picked or picking him would not be a good idea, so i wound up playing baristador the most.
@@Reborn_NA agito is the assassin. the shuriken can help him get around but i think tonix and jet justice are really good partners for agito. gwyn is also good for agito but gwyn is just always good for rushdown. i play ranger in BDO and love the side shot for Soa but it feels a bit lacking.. hard to escape with it despite seemingly designed for it. i have heard ppl using the back shot for escape though.
the only bad reviews i have seen generally boil down to “i wanted this to be splatoon! why isnt this splatoon”

@@siekensou77 yeeeee, funny enough I use the tech on my most recent video at 11:43 🙏

Is it patched out though
@@siekensou77 nope it still works for now!

I am so used to games not living up to expectations, the beta brought me pure joy. I was caught me off guard 💀
Countdown let's go!!
So excited to play and dive deeper into the game!!

Thanks! As long as you redeem the game before March it will continue to be free afterwards (as long as you have a PSN subscription)!

@@powerfulaura78 AGITO WAS SO MUCH FUN!! but I agree needs a team to help them get in
@@powerfulaura78
what are your thoughts on baristador?
@@Reborn_NA
agito is the assassin.
the shuriken can help him get around but i think tonix and jet justice are really good partners for agito.
gwyn is also good for agito but gwyn is just always good for rushdown.
i play ranger in BDO and love the side shot for Soa but it feels a bit lacking.. hard to escape with it despite seemingly designed for it. i have heard ppl using the back shot for escape though.
Is it coming to PC?
Unfortunately they have only confirmed PS5/PS4 at this time. I really hope it comes to PC but at this time we just don't know 😭
Hopefully it comes to PC. I swore off Sony a long time ago.
I totally understand! I know so many people on the Splatoon side that would try (and hopefully enjoy) Foamstars if it came to PC
That can 🅱️ m0re game m0de than splat war(even team w0rk 2v2)
Mom can I get splatoon?
We have splatoon at home.
Splatoon at home:
Mom might be cooking with this one 👀
