Press Y immediatly after pressing ZL or ZR (They both do the same.) but keep holding down ZL/R while pressing Y.

Yeah, curious about this as well. Generally the controls seem pretty responsive (though, dare I say, still not Sunshine-level), but the dive is baffling to me. I've only successfully pulled it off once or twice.
The way you can exploit the hat mechanics to reach higher places and longer gaps is fantastic. EAD can do no wrong, it seems.
EDIT: You need to press Y while Mario does the flip before the ground pound. Just hold ZL then press Y right after and it should work.

Getting the bundle soon and super hyped about it, especially after reading the reviews!
Still want that Galaxy 3 tho.

Jeez that's not even close. My copy has apparently been sitting in my city all day yesterday and all day today and yet they still missed my release day delivery. I don't know which one is more baffling.
My copy is delivered, waiting at home. Haven't played a Mario game in a long time, but looking forward to this one!
Hold Y to keep Cappy rotating in mid-air (not sure if there's a way to do that without buttons) and you can jump on him or you can run into him and Mario will jump higher than with a standard jump.
Oh my goodness, when you jump up and down on the globe outside the Odyssey... So nice. Absolutely heartwarming, some of the little things put into this game.
You just need to hold down the Y button. You'll know you are doing it right because Cappy will stay rotating in the air. Then with Y still held just run up to it - Mario will automatically jump onto Cappy and bounce off.
EDIT: Beaten! Figures my first official post in this new Era would be info that's already old. The more things change... the more they stay the same. :-)
Despite living in Australia and pre-loading the game I didn't really even get to play it early, as I had to work from 7-3 and then my father just had to be in town so I was stuck at the pub listening to sports metaphors while daydreaming about Odyssey.
That said I got up at 6 this morning and I've been playing for the last hour and half and so far it has been sublime.

Someone has to be fighting to good fight out there. Please Era.
Ok I got that but then I see peopl jump off cappy, throw again and then dive to get another jump and that's what I can't seem to do.
Basically how do I do the crazy cappy tricks I'm seeing
Oh that must've been my problem, I was trying to press them at the same time. I guess I was sometimes hittinig Y before ZL. Thanks
Yep pretty much perfection, not put it down since I got in from work, can't stop playing, it's bloody brilliant.
This or Zelda is pretty much guaranteed GOTY. Nintendo still know how to capture the essence of what a videogame should be.

Well, done the first area (Sand Kingdom) and found quite a lot of extra moons too. So far it seems really good, as expected. I'm always wary with open worlds, but seems like they found the right balance where it's still open and fun to explore, but not so open that there's a load of wasted space. It's pretty fun just going around finding moons.
This game is mad incredible and gorgeous to look at. Told myself I would just sample it last night and ending up playing all the way to the Wooded Kingdom. I didn't follow the objective in Tostarena, I just managed to collect enough moons from wandering around and unlocked the next area no problem and thought that was cool how they didn't try to force certain missions on you for the most part.
Speaking of controls, maybe this is already widely known around here, but I noticed that if you rotate the left stick really fast so that Mario starts spinning (This move is mentioned in the Action Guide.) and then immediatly throw your cap, it'll do the "Whirlwind" attack every time. Works absolutely reliable, without having to make use of the motion controls.
Had the biggest fucking OH MY GOD moment when I figured out the solution to the seaside kingdom art. This game is amazing.
Dammit, when I throw the cap and I dive jump, most of the time Mario just ground stomps. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Awesome, just tried this and it works well. Had troubles doing it reliably with the motion controls.
I'm about 8 hours in and so far I am absolutely loving it! It really does feel like Mario's equivalent to Breath of the Wild, except I may actually prefer this game. Only issue I have is some of the motion controls are kind of finicky but otherwise it's fantastic. This could potentially be the best 3D platformer I have ever played if things stay this good or get even better.
Yesterday I found out that my Best Buy order got delayed. Of course I just couldn't help myself so I snagged the game this morning before coming into work. Thinking about busting up in the apartment singing Jump Up, Super Star to my boyfriend before we start playing. *wonders if there's a karaoke track yet*
I wait for the first frames of transition into the ground pound before hitting Y. I pull it off every time now.
Yeah I kind of suck at this so far. I need more practice. I got to New Donk City so I should have learned this by now lol
My custom joycons and Mario Odyssey. Match made in heaven.
Those Joycons look Incredible!
I'm not really into speed running but I'm definitely gonna check out some 100% runs at some point... After I 100% the game myself of course :P
I feel like I've barely tapped into the movement system after a few hours of play. Seeing someone that's mastered it is surely gonna be impressive

First post after approval. Played for 3 hours last night... I haven't felt this kind of gaming joy since Mario 64... I was playing with my kids watching, and I kept telling them "Oh look at that! Listen to this music! This is your FIRST Mario! " I'm enjoying ever second of it. Can't wait to go home.
Got a Switch today with Odyssey.
I haven't played a mainline Mario since Sunshine.
I am not good at Mario-ing.

This game is amazing, I love how densely and subtly packed some of the areas are with moons. The introduction of Koroks made BotW my favorite game of all time. I never thought I'd be playing something that topped the satisfaction I got from that game ever again. The fact that this game is making me consider it just 7 months later is mind blowing to me.
Nintendo have become as gods.

As soon as I transformed into a dinosaur I just started screaming "LETS FUCKING GOOOOO COME ONNNNNNN"
This is not an exaggeration, I literally couldn't containy excitement for turning into a T Rex and started wrecking shit.

Wow. Clickhole gives Odyssey a 5/5. Must watch review!
