Yeah there were similar differences in Splatoon 1 as well. Every extra text box is only like 1/4 to 1/2 second added, right?
I don't think there's been a lot of testing... There probably are some differences, but they would be very small because of how fast you can mash through text in this game.
If you're looking for cap card suggestions, I use an Avermedia LGP Lite, and it's worked pretty well for me. Some hiccups, but it's pretty much the cheapest decent option out there as far as I know. You need a computer to use it with, which leads into your other question...
Most people run their capture card into their PC and record it that way, using a program like OBS, which allows you to add other layers on top, like your splits. It's also a very handy live streaming program, so if you want to get into that... :)
Hope this helped, and good luck with your runs!
Doesn't look like a splice to me, the orb count stays consistent and when taking the "splice" into account, the timer is consistent. This run was actually pieced together from 4 switch capture twitter clips, which explains the cuts. Of course a more smooth video would be preferable, but this run was submitted by someone other than the runner, who asked the moderators if it was fine first.
Thanks for the concern though, if anybody is splicing, we definitely want to know. :)
Was the run a WR? If not, it'll be fine, and if so, I'm not sure... We haven't had a super in depth discussion about that yet, but I'd be inclined to think if the gap between the clips is less than a few frames, it should be fine...
Again, not sure, though.
Video proof is now required for WR runs. Not sure if we'll determine order manually, but it could be an option.
lol I'm dumb, I kept on shooting the third balloon for some reason... Obviously once it lets you swim it won't make you shoot one more balloon...
How am I alive?
I found an optimal route for W2 that gets you enough orbs for burst bombs before 2-2. Just do the old route, but skip 2-2 after opening it. Then, after 2-6, super jump to 2-2. Might even be a tiiiiny bit faster than the old route.
Look forward to more crazy strats from me. OpieOP
