MECHANICA IS BEST GIRL

fourth for MIN MIN A BEST

Now that we confirmed the motion controls are mediocre, where do we go from here?

The reviewers lied. They claimed the motion controls were godly but classic controls are way better.

All modes other than straight 1v1 no items are shit too.

How are the poppers? I always stuck with slapper and stun.

DNA man's shield arms are really weird to use

What am I doing wrong with the motion controls? I'm in the right position, but it feels like I'm not guarding correctly. Everything else works completely fine.

>>378216497
DNA man is unusable.

>>378216518

Min min and Ribbon girl already seem to be S tier as far as the test punch goes.

So what do people feel are good/bad matchups in the game so far? I know it's very much ARMS dependent but I noticed some people say in the previous thread that they think Minmin does not have a good matchup against Mechanica. I don't think she does good against DNA Man's shield either.

>>378216603

If you want a proper competitive fighting game stick with tekken, maybe Arms will end up having huge depth but as it stands it isn't substantially deep

As just games though both are perfectly competent

And I thought I was the only one!

>>378216853
Not me. I'll be getting all of them. I also think it's a little odd how there are so many posts like this that are critical of ARMS and go out of their way to point out every other game coming out for Switch.

truly the best feeling desu, I was a Helix man myself but one game of Ribbon set me straight.

This should be like a $40 game, in the vein of Overwatch.

Ribbon is probably the best character in the game right now with her evasive maneuvers. Spring Man has no business being in the bottom tier because his comeback factor and counters haven't been utilized yet. I'd put him dead center between Ninjara/Master Mummy.

Other than that this seems reasonable, although keep in mind the full game won't have characters be limited in terms of ARMS they can pick as far as I know.

>>378217663
I agree but Nintendo knows there is a dedicated fanbase out there that is willing to buy every game at full price

>>378217646
Just jump and pray. If you get close to someone from the side, and they know how to change targets, you can beat your dick that the tides have changed and you can betray your new friend at any time.

Since a lot of you guys seem to not understand the basic mechanic that is charging, heres how it works.

Perform a Dodge or Jump and hold down the button to enter charge stance. This will give dragon arm on Minmin.

Guarding builds charge.

The moment you land from a jump you are charged for that moment briefly. The effects of charge are the elemental sparks and particles on your glove, a sound also plays. Charge hits will add the elemental attribute of your weapon to your punch.

Dual Slapamanders too stronk, pls nerf.

>>378215936
Is there a spinner arm in there

I swear on my fucking life I escaped a grab with Ninjara several times in the first test punch but I can't repeat it. Anyone else warp out of a grab with Ninjara? Maybe there's some frame perfect timing shit going on. Maybe it's only Ninjara since it doesn't seem he can do a perfect counter on a block since he instantly warps after the block. There's some advanced shit in here I can't wait to git gud at. I pulled off dodging supers with Helix once and it was satisfying as fuck.

But yeah, anyone else warp out of a grab or did I make a mistake? Maybe I just forward jump/dashed and they missed the grab I guess. I could swear I've done it.

One thing I feel is stupid, at least with motion, is that you can't move in the opposite direction you're moving your arm.

That's retarded.

It's $50 on Amazon right now. $47 if you have Prime.
Having said all that, with all the modes they've announced, the unlockable ARMS, etc., this seems to have more "content" than Overwatch did on release if we're not just strictly talking unique character count.

I agree with this actually. Only 1v1 is good and classic controls are more enjoyable than meme controls.

>>378217891
Jesus you're slow

>>378217441
That matchup is fun as fuck. I went shield/blob and I constantly had a charge up. Most mummy players like to turtle so getting your charge is easy. The shield stuns them and the blob blinds them. Their heavy punches are so sow you can hold jump and move out of the way while throwing a punch to punish. Bad mummy players are the best way to improve your dodging with helix.

>All this debate between waggle and non waggle

Here's the thing faggots.

>ARE YOU STANDING
Then waggle will be better as you'll have more control and it'll feel less awkward.

>ARE YOU SITTING
What the fuck are you doing waggling? Grab a pro controller and relax.

That being said, I prefer non waggle. Movement is better, I feel I'm more accurate with my punching (yes, even curving them), and I can relax and play the game instead of worrying about potential fatigue. I'm able to focus on playing the game better because I'm not also having to focus on making sure the waggle controls don't act up.

Is there going to be any sort of story mode?

Your signature arms are what you start with. You unlock more for that character with the arms getter. Then you can switch with three you can use in fights.

It's really fucking good but at the same time $50 is a bit too steep. I'm hoping Nintendo has a change of heart and chooses to sell it at a cheaper price.

I felt it was odd when the splatoon 2 testfire came out and heard people complaining about motion controls. Guess I should have expected it here as well.

>>378219694
I mean if you like Splatoon it's the same deal. It's more of a $40 game at launch but it's gonna get a ton of free post-launch shit down the line

Not at 60 dollars, it feels like a game that should be played on the side so you don't get burned out and with Tekken 7 coming out I might just do that when the price drops or wait till Splatoon 2

I love Splatoon's because they actually make fine aiming possible. It's a nice compromise between standard console aiming and mouse based PC aiming.

ARMS motion controls are just clunky though. Punching and blocking work fine, but movement is just awkward.

Twintell in white will be sexy.

Guys, keep in mind that in the actual game, any fighter can use any ARMS. You won't be limited to just the standard roster each fighter has currently.

So, you really shouldn't be basing your tiers off off just the fighters, but rather, the fighters and all their possible combinations.

Does Minmin's kick work on grabs? What about Springman's deflects after charging?
Is the counter any good (dash after blocking an attack), does it leave opponent open or something?

Deflect/counter mechanics are what I want to test but I have to wait till next testpunch.

Of the game? I'd say 1 million or just short of it.

Shit's a fighting game that primarily markets its waggle controls as the way to play. So, a niche game genre paired with a control input that most despise. It'll be an easy sell to Nintendo fanboys, but casuals and newcomers probably won't be interested.

Yes. They're actually better than the waggle controls in most cases.

Waggle controls are great for casual play, pro controls are for if you actually want to focus on winning.

find out your computer's local IP
change proxy settings on switch to use it on port 8888

It works for a few seconds, but says it can't find thr proxy server. The proxy server seems to require a name. I am coding illiterate, what would the name be, for anyone else trying this?

It's a fun game, but due to the sometimes awkwardness of the motion controls, I'm not expecting it to review well.

How the fuck do you throw punches with differing curves at the same time with a stick? Seems undoable. No, not one then another, like an instant 1-2 with both punches in different directions while traveling. So far, motion controls have been perfect while the controller had been pretty gimped.

>>378222193
I've been doing it pretty well, I guess it's all about timing

Why does it feel so awkward moving forward with motion controls?

The thing with the motion controls is that they require a certain amount of rigor. When you're using it you have to have the right stance, and flailing around will fuck you up hard. There's also the fact that there's some muscle memory you have to unload HARD to do well in ARMS, like the need to do a 1-2 punch all the time, or favoring a particular arm.

>>378222193
>Push stick in a direction before throwing punch
>Enjoy your curved punches

Yeah, it's not as effortless as curving one punch one way and the other another, but it's not that hard to get down.

Other than that, I generally prefer the pro controls because of the easier access to every other function and better movement. Movement is very important in fighting games.

Every time I try, it just starts moving my left punch to the right. I feel I am being lied to, honestly. How are you having issues with motion controls when everything is so much smoother?

>>378222323
Because you have to lean them forward without pushing them forward.

Honestly, I would've just preferred if you could move forward and back with the analog stick, and left and right by tilting.

Rate the 7 testpunch characters in terms of personal preference

Mechanica>Spring Man>Master Mummy>Min Min >Ninjara>Ribbon Girl>Helix

Barely played the last two so I dunno much about them yet. I liked Ribbon's slapping. I thought Mummy would be my favorite but he's very slow. Mechanica's a lot of fun, great on teams.

>>378222550
Your left punch is usually going to move to the right regardless, and vice versa.

>>378222648
MinMin>Mechanica>Ribbon Girl>Spring Man>Ninjara>Master Mummy>Helix

>>378222665
So you can't do it, then. Like I said, it's gimped.

Mummy and Mechanica are the only ones I have any fun with. Getting stunned with the other just makes the game feel lame.

>>378222648
Ribbon Girl > Min Min > Mechanica > Ninjara > Mummy > Spring Man > Helix

>>378222842
>So you can't do it then

No, I'm saying that even with motion controls, your left punch is eventually going to curve right. That's just how the game works.

>>378219969
I have not tried Arms yet and I'm just lurking the threads. Based on previous games it seems that motion controls do not do well for actions that have weight behind them. This is why people pay $100+ for a race wheel rather than using the plastic Mario Kart remote insert wheel. It can be hard to tell exactly when you are in a neutral position and how far you need to tilt to get to the max input. Using flicks to simply emulate button presses are also pointless. The description of arms makes it seem like it would fall into these categories for movement, blocking, and punching. Aiming looks like it could work reasonably well. Obviously since I haven't played it, people can feel free to hopefully correct my assumptions.

In contrast, Splatoon works well because there is no weight to the action. You move your controller and the cursor moves in the same way a mouse would work. Your motion causes input in terms of distance rather than velocity so it is much easier to intuitively know what to expect from your motion.

>>378220568

But its not online only? It's the same thing as Mario Kart, everything it does online can be done offline.

>>378222973
But I can do it with motion controls. Send my left arm way right and immediately send my right arm way left. But I can't with a stick. I am trying it right this second as we type.

In all seriousness, how long do you guys think it'll take for Nintendo to abandon all of the joycon gimmicks that aren't related to rumble, aiming, or amiibo? Does any game besides 1-2 Switch even use that pointless IR camera?

So will arms be mainstage or charity at evo?

The motion controls in Arms work great, as long as you're doing the thumbs up position as it shows in the hints section. And its not uncomfortable. I think a lot of people bashing motion controls haven't even been doing the correct position before they found instant gratification with the pro controller.

Its fine if people go with standard, but the motion in this is definitely not "I'm using tilt controls" tier.

Fair enough. Just don't go about claiming they are shit whem in reality you are not able to use them, and you are good.

Once the real game comes out, he'll probably be just as good as every other fighter.

I tried to the joycons. It felt like I couldn't even move.
Sometimes she'd just walk off in a direction I didn't want. But most of the time she would just stand still. Could barely curve anything for that matter either.

I really want to like the motion controls but I couldn't get them to work.
I really wish I could have replayed the tutorial, only with the joycons though. But I started the Testpunch with the pro controller out of habit and only remembered that I wanted to try out the joycons after the tutorial had already started.

>>378225542
>>378225684
Are you holding them like the game tells you to on the intro screen and in the hints section? You juat tilt both in a direction like a flight stick to move, give a little push and twist for punches and curving, and turn both inward toward each other to block. There is no way you should get a punch out of blocking.

I can see competitive having potential, but idk if it'll get to EVO level. It's fast and aggressive, but the lack of combos may hurt it.
That being said, EVO is exclusively based on popularity, otherwise smash 4 wouldn't get in every year.

>Are you holding them like the game tells you to on the intro screen and in the hints section?
Yeah.
It might have registered the initial angle incorrectly or something though, but even if that's the case then I still have no idea how to reset it. Splatoon has a gyro reset button but I didn't see anything like that for ARMS.

>>378225542
Its definitely you needing to adjust. Maybe wi-fi issues with the left joycon if you're not used to that problem.

>>378225821
I'm an SD Card-let with only 64 gigabytes so I'm trying to use it sparingly

>>378225846
I'm glad more people gave Ribbon Girl and Mechanica a chance.

You're all faggots with shit tastes.

white niggers

>Maybe wi-fi issues with the left joycon
That's definitely not it. I never had any connection issues with either of my joycons. I even tried once and went behind the wall into another room and both of my joycons still worked.

I am sure the motion controls are serviceable. But I still have no idea of how to use them. I felt like an invalid playing with them. Which is on me, but still.

The issue with Spring Man to me is that his usefulness relies on you not doing well. Ideally, a good character possesses abilities that allow you to avoid dropping down to 25% health at all. The comeback is useful, but I don't think he can be S-tier.

>>378226404
What about his parry like Min Min's?

>>378221232
Most of the people who like Twintelle are white, and where were you when THICCfags were lusting over Minmin nigga? Shit, Etika is the perfect hybrid between Brooklyn nigga and black weeb, and he loved Minmin.

>>378226009
Best I see this getting is a side slot or something, even though Smash 4 is more casual than Melee which is already a casual fighting game it still takes more skill than ARMS.

>>378220416
Can confirm Springman's deflect works on grabs. Hafta time it right though

>>378226712
>Smash 4
>still takes more skill than ARMS
I wouldn't write off ARMS so soon.
Time will tell though.

When did you first realize that Minmin is already my girlfriend and you will never have her?
Were you very disappointed?

>>378226009
>but idk if it'll get to EVO level
EVO just has the new games with enough of a community. It being one of the biggest tournaments doesn't mean their is some level a game must reach

Unless you're a daredevil and tank damage on purpose

>>378224203
Theres a bunch of other stuff about them and things even the in game guides dont mention

Ninjara seems to have the fastest and highest damage grab
Master Mummy's fists are bigger than everyone elses.
I bet theres more passives like those that other characters have

The buff really is that good. Just get hit until 25% health, then beat the shit out of your opponent

>>378227150
He has potential

>>378227363
I wasn't sure if I was going to main him but once I heard his shitty puns I had to main him. My friends are going to fucking hate me when I play this with them.

>>378227205
Minmin's left arm stays permacharged when in dragon mode, can be used from the start of the fight, and lasts till you get hit. It charges any arm equipped on the left, not just dragon laser. The laser is pretty good though because fire causes knockdowns.

>>378227414

He also has a basically free counter/parry if you charge your gloves and then dash

He's all about bouncing back.

I never like the "Mario" in these games but good ol spring man is my main nig
