Board 8 > Disc Jam is out today and free for PS+ members [windjammers] [fite me]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Disc Jam is out today on PSN. It's a Windjammers clone from a different perspective and it's really great. Add me on PSN or Steam -- ninnyjams on both -- if you wanna get bodied because i'm v good

actually i'm probably trash overall but seriously get this and play it it's great
---

Wake me up when actual windjammers is out on psn

Pretty sure Zelda will keep me occupied until then
---

I bought this on Steam but so far I haven't been able to find a game.
---

I played this for a few hours with my brother and we dominated some 2v2 matches.

Id be down to team up with someone for 2v2 rather than 1v1

this but discjam is free and I've been wanting to play it so I'm still gonna play this
---

This game is great. I've already played it for about 5 hours today, and the only issue I have with it is that it sometimes takes forever to find a game. I've only managed to get into a single 2v2 game in those 5 hours, but I was only looking to get the trophy as I plan on only really playing 1v1.

I don't think I'm great, but I legitimately have not lost a game yet. After I hit 20-0 I stopped counting, but I've got to be close to the "Win 50 games" trophy at this point. I'll almost definitely fall closer to the pack once people learn how to play though, because all I really did was do both tutorials, and I keep getting matched up against people who are seemingly playing their first game.

Your lack of trophy hunting has caused the achievement topic to purge @ninkendo
---

right now there is only one trophy

Those were some intense games, FD. On multiple occasions I thought it was over.

I jinxed myself with my previous post, because right after posting I managed to get dominated and lose my first game.
---

Yeah ggs. I thought i had you early on and then you started reading me like a book. And then i started improving to make it even again but it wasn't quite enough.

It would have been better if i didn't lose 90% of our rallies that went past like 17 points. You always had a clutch read in those moments.

I did feel like i learned a lot though.

I had a real tough time getting a read on your throws for the first few games, and then near the end of the matches I felt like you had figured out my game plan.

The rallies felt like a coin flip a lot of the time. A bunch of them could have easily gone your way and it would've been a much different story.

I definitely feel like there's some cheap moves. The short corner lob works almost 100% of the time if your opponent isn't prepared for it, so I only try to use it once or twice a match.
---

Yeah I definitely started to pick up on your tricks but it came too late.

But now im playing some not-you people and crushing them. Thats what my ego needed after going 0-18 :P
---

Online only?

I'm out
---

i put around 60 hours into the beta

i'm a fan
---

I tried the tutorials and couldn't finish the second one

Where you're supposed to curve your throw to hit two squares just by turning the stick

I feel like it could probably be done with l2/r2, but would rather learn it the way it's supposed to be done
---

Downloading it now

Hopefully there will be more players as more get the chance to download it

You're always the one that goes "do you want to play doubles instead?"

I JOKE
---

I gotta call it there, you're really good for the fact that i've played ... a lot more of this than you! Took one from me

Lag was a factor here and there but I feel like it didn't play a huge part either way

all in all GGs and I def wanna play more later on
---

Digi promptly brought me back to Earth there. GG.

You're the first person I've faced who has aggressively attacked the net like that, and it seemed like a perfect way to counter what I was attempting to do.

It wasn't until the last game or so until I figured out how to stop that, but even then I couldn't really put it into practice.

Yeah, I definitely think that's on my end, because FD hosted our games last night and it seemed fine. The characters sometimes jumped around but it didn't really have much of an impact, if any.
---

yeah, i like the net play. your game naturally keeps people away from the net but i was able to fuss out when you were not going to get a perfect and attack the angle

also i don't say "nice one" as much as you because i'm stupid and mix up the quick chat options and don't want to accidentally say rekt or something lol

there was one spot where it made the JUICED noise for me but it came out blue and it really f***ed me up, but it was only one point lol. and yeah i don't normally get lag so i'll see about hosting next time and see what happens

I don't usually use the chat either, but I got into the habit of doing it with FD last night, so I made an attempt to learn "Nice One", "LOL" and "gg" for when the situation arises.
---

Im home. Ill be on in a few min
---

rain check @Forceful_Dragon i'm right at the end of Horizon, final mission. if it ends quicker than I expect I'll be down tho
---

No worries. Ill try to improve against randoms then.

I'llunlock new crap at least.


Also is anyone else down to mic up and voice chat when we play this? I think that would be more entertaining than the limited range of emotes.
---

@Forceful_Dragon I just got out of the shower and noticed your invite, I'm down to play some now if you'd like.

My PS4 stays on almost 24 hours a day whether I'm on it or not, so if I don't respond to anything it's usually because I'm not actually at the console.
---

I am also around now. I could invite both of ya'll to a lobby and we could switch off? can spectate, etc.

This would also be cool! I wasn't sure if that was possible.
---

I am playing significantly worse tonight. Everything just feels like it's going wrong.

Its damn embarrassing is what it is.
---

not sure why we can't swap roles after a private match

will message the devs about that tomorrow
---

I thought I had that last one, so close.
---

Yeah the last set was close!

I wanna watch you guys for a couple so hit rematch at the end

also the devs just told me they're working on the lobby thing
---

or not I'll go one more >>
---

I totally did not read your post before that match finished, my bad!
