Master Mummy OP pls nerf

Remember to jump to get over grab spammers!

>>378184771
It was okay. Had the most luck with Master Mummy and Ribbon Girl.

But I don't want to spend $500 on a console with three games BY THE END OF THIS YEAR AT THAT, /v/.

Who did you have the hardest time playing as?

For me, it was Springman.
I just couldn't get the hang of his counter.

is there someone ripping the games music?

what little i heard was pretty good, including springman's stage theme.

also, is Ribbongirl's stage on the demo?

I did well as Mechanica, ended with 86 points, and first place in my room. Used motion controls, but everyone is saying traditional is better, so I'll test those on the next test.

>>378185158
Helix only because of the weapon selection, he's the only one i couldn't rush people down with, even though i won with him.

I only did the extendo jump to screw with my opponents (which worked very well) and jumped out of the way like a maniac

>>378185195
>>378185214
My Mechaniggas. Which arms combinations did you use?

>>378184771
So far only played minmin, wasn't home so I played handheld mode only with the standard controller set-up and it played perfect.

I enjoy mobility & cross-ups so Min Min & Ribbon Girl will probably be my main until I try the new characters

>>378185219
If I included all the games it would be over $600. Australian.

Also my Joycons are now stained in sweat. It's way too hot hear to be jiggling my arms about.

How the fuck do you use dragon arms? When I punch with them, they stay stationary at the end of their reach. WTF do I do?!?!?!?!

Anyone else's console sound like it was going to take off? Sounded like pre patch BotW there for a while.

How good are the traditional controls? Don't own a pro controller yet.

I had fun, but I don't really know. I don't know if this is worth spending $60 on. Good thing there's still 11 more testpunches

>>378185946
Handheld is pretty good.

I only managed to get in 15 minutes. I used Helix and got stomped hard by Min Mins and Mechanicas for six matches. Fun though.

>>378185391

60 since I took a break 40 mins in
Helix is great. He definitely has a high barrier of entry
Ninjara does nothing for me
motion controls actually feel nice. i'm gonna try regular controls tomorrow

I found it a little tough to land basic attacks.

But i think with practice ill do better, winning is pretty satisfying.

The only way you can get multiple colors to appear in the Testpunch is if you have multiple of the same character in one match

>MinMin
femdom, facesitting, footjob, anal, rimming, pegging

exhibitionism, toys, bdsm, bondage, irrumatio, latex

Couldn't use the motion controls for the life of me. I think my joycons must've been desynced or something but there was no way to recalibrate them (that I could see). Played with the controller, pretty fun but punching wasn't as nice to control as I hoped it would be. Mostly played grab spamming scrubs, easy games with Master Mummy and Min Min

super armor is also nice

FUCK I missed it because of work...

How do you guys rate it out of 10 ?
first impression of course

For anyone who had trouble with volleyball, were you using Motion controls or Traditional controls?

Because I used motion and never lost a single vball match (although I tied twice when the stupid thing refused to go off multiple times when I knocked it to the ground)

I'm a scrub and I don't understand people who can't into volleyball. Just grab and punch

>>378187621
pretty fun

How do you move with the motion controls? I was holding the joycons like the one pic has them, but I kept throwing or punching and could basically only go side to side.

>>378187621
Eh, it's okay, but you're handicapped no matter what

>Can't be accurate with motion controls
>Can't use charge attacks with normal controls

>Punch to stop grabs
>Grab to stop blocks

Isn't that how it is for fighting games in general?

>>378187712
No. In Street Fighter, you have to grab to stop grabs.

Super armor is training wheels for new players. You think your Homie's gonna save you when your oh so calculated wrecking ball arm is baited out when there are jump grabs and air and ground dashes and extra movement options for certain fighters? Fat fucking chance.

I'd say

But I dunno about Ninjara, haven't seen him enough

You use the wrecking ball arm to punish and your tri shot thing to bait out grabs/punches.

Didn't get to play but I watched a stream and thought it looked fun. I can't believe they're actually going to give new characters for free, that's insane!

>>378187952
>blocking grabs
you cant block grabs, anon

>>378187857
I believe you but as a first impression it just feels kind of stiff.

>>378187850
t. never played any fighting game ever

I played Springman with normal fists for both, or boomerrang + tri shot. I won most of my 1 v 1 matches, but fuck free for all and 2 v 2, you can't tell what the fuck is going on.

Towards the end I started playing Helix, and started to get good with dodging punches by stretching. I don't like his arms very much though.

>>378188017
Not with the shield, but you can punch down their arms sometimes.

>>378187857
Not at all. They're imprecise garbage. Normal controls are superior in every way.

>>378188017
yes you can, punch them

>>378188017
I meant in the way that I was keeping them from connection, not literally.

>>378187704
>Can't use charge attacks with normal controls
Nigger what? I use the pro controller and just hold dash. Gotta dash to them most of the time to close the distance. If not that, I dash after a jump so I dodge and land with a charged fist.

How's the pro controller for this?

>>378188326
yeah, I felt limited for Mummy as I wanted to have more fast options.

>>378188087
I wouldn't say flawless, but they work pretty well. I didn't have problems angling punches or moving around after a couple matches. I'm sure traditional is better, since a button click will always be faster than extending your arms, but I don't think motion is a bad way to go if you're just playing for shits.

>>378188252
You don't have to lie about it, anon. I doubt the faceless corporation cares if the needless (and thankfully optional) gimmick control option is well handled or not.

>>378189152
It will, the mode you're playing in Test Punch is called Party Mode, and is designed for random types of battles. There are other online modes, including ranked 1v1 with no items.

>>378189152
That's how the "for fun" online will be.

ranked is always a normal 1v1.

Well we only had an hour with the game so it's still too early to tell, so far the only modes I enjoy are 1v1 and 2v2 but on DNA Lab map only because the other one is too small.

>>378194000
The tips in game said he deflects punches when hit right after his charge runs out. So guard, dash, or jump to get a charge, then take a hit when the charge runs out. Basically some extra protection if you don't use the charge I think, not sure if it works if you punch.

So what is the point in charging? Does it give you a good damage boost?

>>378194485
Are you kidding, it's going to be ten times better

>>378195150
Damage boost and I think some arms go faster and get a larger hitbox.

>>378194412
Nah M8 I have prime they still charge tax so it comes out to happened with mk8d

>>378195150
The arms all have secondary effects that come into play when charged

>>378195150
lets you use the elemental effect of the arms

>>378194952
I couldn't decide on a favorite, and kept switching between characters and lobbies. Ninjara and Mechanica seemed easy to play, and the people I played against seemed to have trouble dealing with MinMin's charged dragon shots.

>>378195150
Makes them stronger and activates their elemental effects if they have one. Fire causes knockdown, electric disables arms allowing an easy grab or rush followup, etc.

I like the motion controls for attacking, but moving with motion controls is really annoying.

>>378195358
>electric disables arms allowing an easy grab or rush followup
What the fuck, why didn't I know these things? This is gonna be one of those games that are easy to get into but have autism levels of mastering.

>>378195604
like other anons said, you gotta think of the controls like virtual-on. it really helps

What's the schedule?

>>378187783
Attacks still beat grabs in Street Fighter. It's a universal rock, paper, scissors mechanic used in every fighter. A grab vs a grab is a tie, just like an attack connecting with another attack is a tie, and two people blocking at the same time is a tie. Teching out of a grab with another grab is a tie. Attacking a grabbing opponent results in an advantage, just like grabbing a blocking opponent results in an advantage, and blocking an attacking opponent results in an advantage.

>>378195703
Care to elaborate?

>>378195604
I had a fuck of a time trying to back up with motion controls, it always just blocked. fucking annoying as shit, was easier to just flip back

I feel like they should've stuck with 1v1 and 2v2 instead of giving a lot of modes because it's so overwhelming to understand the controls. However, I'm very impressed with the lobby system and how seemingly flawlessly the online ran even up to 4 players.

Not sure yet, maybe if I play more because Tekken 7 is going to eat up my time.

Are the yellow joy cons something that must be ordered online/stores aren't getting a couple?

I'd much rather walk in and pick them up than ship them here and possibly have them stolen

As mummy, I unintentionally traded grabs with another mummy 3 times in a row while our partners beat the shit out of each other at the start of the match. a damn good time!

I know this is probably autism packed but here i go

I'm honestly a bit confused as to why the brands behind the ARMS weapons allow their gloves to be used by multiple fighters e.g. slapamander and toaster are both made by the same brand, but are used by different fighters
if they allowed exclusivity, people would root for the brand's ARMS as well as the fighter that uses them, since both would be more or less one and the same

I want to stuff that nigga in my ass.

Didn't get to play for the full hour, gonna play again tomorrow night.

Did only motion controls.

Min Min is my girl. I didn't try out Ribbon Girl or Ninjara but they seem to operate the same way where they've got a lot of aerial mobility, except hers can reflect punches which is difficult to time but nice when it happens. I wish she had a little more straightforward an Arms option, she's got an awkward assortment of slow/weird attacks that don't always play well together. Dragon + Heavy seems like a really bad combination in particular.

I wish the motion controls were stricter in how they read inputs. Even towards the end of my time playing, I was still accidentally doing grabs when I was attempting to do a 1 - 2 combination because it would read my delayed punch as coming out at the same time. Also, moving forward at an angle would sometimes turn into a block.

I will give motion controls another go tomorrow night but switch to a Pro controller at some point and see how it feels.

>>378198390
I love playing ARMS but he can't do shit against someone like MinMin with his current ARMS set. He is a lot of fun to play around with that stretchy shit.

I better power nap beforehand

>>378202190
That's were I'm confused as well I wanted to play tag team with my brother but he ended up playing a match 1v1 then I played a 2v2 match with some randoms, I guess party mode makes you take turns.

>>378202184
That means you are rested for the next one while Americans will be asleep.

>Dunk someone on their wake up 3 times in a row as Master Mummy

That grab is so fucking satisfying, especially when you kill with it.

>>378187573
Is this coming the the PS4, or Xbox one? looks too good for switch.

>>378202692
It's even more satisfying when it's the most powerful throw in the game.

>won't have a switch until just after all the testpunches
Fuck. Fuck me.
I really want to play Ninjara though, and I'll probably main him even if I'm bad with him because he really is my favourite.

>holding Helix's jump button makes him stretch really high and is capable of dodging punches by tilting left and right
>dash around in a puddle for a decent amount of time, probably the longest dash in terms of duration

Helix is so much fun, his current arm set kinda limits his approaching options, but I can see that he has a fuckton of potential.

>2v2
>doing most of the damage while my teammate does fuck all
>get pummeled by two rushes in a row and get KOd
>teammate solos both of them without getting hit
IT WAS ME. I WAS THE PROBLEM.

Grab dont matter just punch

>>378203324
Punch don't matter just block

>>378203496
Block dont matter just grab

I think you guys are at an impasse.
