So the ARMS edition of EDGE magazine came out yesterday, and we finally know what the button controls are
>Punches can be thrown using the triggers. Or two of the face buttons- and jump and dash are mapped to the other two. You click in the left stick to guard
>Since the left stick controls the angle of your punches, you can't move in one direction and punch in the other. You can't strike at a different angle with your other hand until the first punch is fully extended, either
Thoughts?
>>376224110
The lack of being able to move in one direction and punch in the other sounds interesting.
I mean technically it mimics the actual physics of Punching in Boxing.
>>376224110
Well, we knew anybody that wasn't going to use the motion controls was going to be at a disadvantage like Splatoon.
>>376225243
Still wish that they wouldn't have put fucking block on the stick click. It's a shame that there's no pro-controller specific controls since the current one is probably made for the shitty single joycon
>>376225243
We didn't, but people assumed that yes. It doesn't really matter to me though. If the controls are good and accurate its fine. People hated motion controls for the Wii, but the technology was a lot worse back then. If the game does everything I tell it to, like in Splatoon, then its perfectly fine.
>>376225687
>People hated motion controls
No, the gaming media spent years trying to downplay how fun they were in order to promote PS360 title. People in general really loved them.
But yes, Switch is really taking motion controls to the next generation and fine tuning them to replace traditional button presses.
I'll probably still end up using motion controls, assuming they aren't horrible.
Still using button controls. Fuck motion controls.
>>376224110
Are there any scans uploaded anywhere?
If the Wii can make something as fast paced and reaction based as Punch-Out work with motion controls I'm sure ARMS will be fine with 10 years of technology advancements
>>376225965
Have fun losing all your matches in Splatoon 2.
And in Arms.
And in the inevitable Star Fox Zero sequel.
All because you can't get with the times, grandpa.
>>376226020
You can buy a digital edition of the magazine so I'm sure scans should be coming asap
>>376226082
Man, I got destroyed using Punch-Out Wii's motion controls. I think I got up to Aran Ryan before switching over to traditional.

Did you turn off gyro immediately or something? After playing Splatoon I wanted every console shooter to have that control option.
>>376227721
You can thank the single joycon for that. It could've been so easy to just use the right stick to aim punches, or at least give your right ARM free movement while the left was tied to the left stick

These automated matches were also essential because playing Arms stood up, Joy-Cons in hand, with motion controls is hardly a relaxing experience. We depart out six-hour session exhausted, and apologetic for leaving a Nintendo demo area smelling like a locker room. The more sedentarily inclined - or those unable to play standing up because they've taken their Switch on public transport, say - can make use of less physically intensive control options afforded by Nintendo's multifaceted new hardware. Slot the Joy-Cons into a grip peripheral, hand over one of the controllers to a friend, or pick up a Pro Controller, and Arms starts to feel a little more familiar. Punches can be thrown using the triggers, or two of the face buttons - jump and dash are mapped on to the other two. You click the left stick to guard. Everything you need is here, and it works - but something's missing. Since the left stick controls the angle of your punches, you can't move in one direction and punch in the other. You can't strike at a different angle with your other hand until the first punch is fully extended, either.
Robbed of the physicality of its motion-control inputs, Arms isn't quite the same. No doubt these alternative control options have been added to ensure the game is playable in every situation in which you can use a Switch. Yet it also feels like a thumb of the nose, however unintentional, to players who spent the Wii generation complaining they'd have preferred to have played Motion-Controlled Game X sat on their backsides with sticks and buttons. On-foot motion controls aren't the only way to play Arms, but for our money, they're far and away the best. Producer Yabuki, as you'd expect, agrees."

>L to dash

>all of these can be remapped among each other
>ZL/ZR to punch
>left stick controls left ARM angle and vice-versa (both X and Y axes can be independently inverted in options)
>>376227873
they shouldn't support that kind of control scheme at all in ARMS, or at the very least make it a third controller scheme that reminds the players that it's explicitly gimped due to lack of buttons

He's not wrong. The main downside of motion controls is that they don't work for every genre. The ones they do work for though, they work well and people enjoy them.
Also, the motion control stigma doesn't exist in the Nintendo fanbase. Motion controls either work well or they don't and need to be fixed or discarded.
>>376228476
This guy needs to do mechanica porn
>>376228656

I like Arms but this is fucking retarded.
>>376229021
Punchout didn't have online multiplayerI desperately hope I'm correct in assuming that ARMS at least has that., it was a quick match against friends game, and featured classic controls that worked well.
If you wanted to just spend the day playing ARMS multiplayer online you couldn't because eventually you'd tire and want a shower, and switching to the controller isn't an option because you'd be gimping yourself.
Just another game in the garbage pile that is Nutendo though, really.

Whats the point in making me do them if you aren't even going to make me do it properly? Sitting on the couch and flicking my Wiimote endlessly in TP was not fun, same with every other game with token waggle.
>>376224110
Why would you need to move and curve a punch at the same time? It makes it less accurate. Button controls sound fine.
>>376229591
>Slot the Joy-Cons into a grip peripheral, hand over one of the controllers to a friend, or pick up a Pro Controller, and Arms starts to feel a little more familiar.

Looks like regular controller/pro controller to me.
>>376230268
>Sitting on the couch and flicking my Wiimote endlessly in TP was not fun
probably because the wiimote plus was a piece of shit compared to the joycons
>>376230278
because maybe i need to move away from a punch and hit someone who is dodging in another direction.
>>376230361
If I'm still just flicking my wrist what does more technology in the controller matter for?
>>376229862

Easy, the second control stick control the arms direction. It works amazing for the Pod shooting in Nier Automata and a number of other games.
Not my fault Nintendo won't do that because they want to force compatability with the solo Joycon, the literal worst controller in gaming history.
>>376231409
>the second control stick control the arms direction.
How could a single control stick move two ARMS in two different directions at the same time?
>>376231406
Maybe that means motion control are an inherently flawed and shitty idea?
>>376231263
People only play waggle controls because they went out of their way to fuck with the camera controls when using a stick. Just like how Nintendo is purposely ignoring the fact that their controller has two sticks. And knowing Nintendo, there will be 0 options to change anything.
>>376231409
>the literal worst controller in gaming history.
I see you started with the PS2, then. I wish people like you still counted as underaged.

So how will you move right, throw your right left arm with a hard left curve, and your right arm with a very slight right curve, all while jumping?

Not him but how did you miss her? There are ARMS threads almost daily and she's spammed relentlessly in them.
They made the traditional controls gimped because they want you to be able to play splitscreen with 1 joycon each. Too bad Nintendo is too incompetent to make game options.
>>376231804
If you do at the same time its a grab so you're influencing that
Anyway with the motion control in arms you're essentially simulating two sticks in a cockpit. Y'know like Virtual On
So why not use those simulated controls on the actual sticks?
There is literally no reason that they couldn't do just that.
There is nothing in that motion control that can't be translated into an actual controller. If Virtual On managed to do it, they can do it as well.
I like Arms but i really do hope they think hard and well about this retarded control scheme.
>>376232193
Maybe you are the retard for not being able to do it?
>>376232193
>Anyway with the motion control in arms you're essentially simulating two sticks in a cockpit. Y'know like Virtual On
>So why not use those simulated controls on the actual sticks?
Except it isn't like that. You can't tilt, push, and twist a joystick all at once.
Coming from EXVS Forward-Back to guard, having left stick to guard is not that bad.
>>376231494
No, I'm going to go with "maybe because people like you are whiny pieces of shit with no taste."
>>376232368
That's what you have buttons for.
>>376232193
>If you do at the same time its a grab so you're influencing that
You can still launch your ARMS in rapid succession. Their trajectory can be influenced slightly by tilting while they travel, so how would you tilt two ARMS in different directions at the same time?
>>376232472
So you have to use face buttons, shoulder buttons and BOTH sticks all at once? With your 3 thumbs? Dude, just stop. This is getting pathetic.
>>376232556
Triggers to throw punches, sticks to aim them. You don't need anything else. They couldn't even get that right.
>>376232837
How do you move, block, jump, dash, and super then?
>>376232887
Bumpers, face buttons, or stick clicks.
>>376232937
>face buttons
>stick clicks.
thumbs are busy aiming punches. Try again
>>376232937
So move with what? Both sticks are busy with the punches, remember? And what if I also want to dash in this instance?
>>376233050
>he doesn't claw
movement and aim with the two sticks
when you punch you're essentially setting your hand into neutral if you want a straight punch.
Then you turn to either direction depending on where you want to aim.
In fact when you throw a punch in ARMS as long as you're not jumping your character will stop moving for a split second and this is the moment where you can manipulate your punches. It's a commitment system that allows someone to capitilize on your errors. You can't actually move normally during this because the game needs to read where you're trying to aim Thats why everyone jumps and dashes, in the footage, as they allow you to regain some moment and not become a sitting duck.
So l and r to punch, zl to jump, zr to dash, block by turning the two sticks in opposite directions, grab by pressing l & r together, super by pressing two sticks together.
Prove me that this wouldn't work.
