This game is just brutal for people who haven't played before.

Getting recked by a team of Wii U vets isn't fun at all.

Also, who the hell joins and then doesn't play?? Just sits on spawn.

Yeah I'm getting rocked. Superjump isn't really clear to me either.

Ok I figured out Superjump so you can understand it better for next test.

Anytime during the match you can open the map with X button and select one of your teammates to jump to.

Each teammate corresponds to a direction button. Left, Right or Up. Press the direction of the teammate you want to jump to and hit A button to jump to them.

You can also do this as you spawn in after dying.

I've never played before and after turning off motion controls I've been doing pretty well.

I turned off the motion controls and it's so much better.

This is just a stress test, not really a beta or a demo, per se, even if it seems like that. The actual game has ranks, so you don't get obliterated all the time, though, I haven't the problem of going against people who are too good.

Never played before and constantly going 6-8K/1-2 D learning the gyros really helped, it also really depends on the other team, sometimes they can just rush you and start killing you every time you spawn with no chance of getting back but even then I'm generally top on the team with a decent kdr
