The Motion controls really are jank. They might be fun with friends but I wouldn't use them for anything more serious than that.

>>378236552
Are you holding the JoyCons correctly? I've seen so many people thinking they're supposed to hold it pointer-style.

If you are and it still isn't working, switch to traditional.

Use the traditional control, there are literally no disadvantages. The curving doesn't feel any different.

>>378237793

It doesn't work well if I hold them vetically or horizontally, but works somewhat when I hold them diagonally. sometimes the crontoller has to be facing downward towards the floor to move forward.

This is pretty fun, but one thing makes no fucking sense about the way Nintendo does their tests, it's random times for only an hour at a time. What is their end game? Do they want the least amount of people testing for them?

Fuck this Knuckles Chaotix ass 2v2 system, I'd much rather have friendly fire on than these stupid ropes

I just ignore people with complaints because they either
A) don't own a switch
B) are subjective
C) hate Nintendo

Game works for me and everyone I've played with agrees

I think I might be done using Motion Controls for this game already lol.

>>378238524

The motion controls are shitty and is even worse for triple threats.

Wow man you're totally right. I'm just not being subjective....

>>378238419
or better controls

Just won 8 matches in a row by slowly alternating left and right punches with Big Mummy.

If they try to block + counter you you just regen your health back and mix in a few grabs, but thats only happened once so far.

I just press each button alternately and decimate the opposition, its a pile of shit.

game plays great with a pro controller

>charge lighting arm

Tried both the waggle and standard controls, it's better in standard IMO. I like the online lobby method of just throwing you into whatever, but both the characters I'm interested in weren't in this demo.

It's just another Nintendo party game.

how come there are so many anons who cant into the motion controls? Im using them and its great

>>378238760
I think the motion controls lend you slightly more precision, maybe allowing you to move more freely while punching, but honestly it doesn't effect punching mind games that much.

>>378238076
It's probably so that they can get multiple stress tests of the servers for different times of the day in various regions.

More samples are always better than one. That'd be my guess at least.

>>378235291
its weird you guys are having motion control issues cuz mine have been working flawlessly. in fact they even fixed the issue i had at pax east when it wouldnt block, even when i did the motion properly.

>lose a triple threat because character wouldn't focus on opponent who was attacking me

The only thing I don't like about the motion controls is switching targets being tied to the face buttons. I have to let go of jump or dash to to access them with the wrist strap attachment to the joycon. Would have liked it to have been SL and SR or either of the triggers instead.

>>378239351
>my main, Min Min
Everyone mains Min Min and Ribbon.
They'll probably get nerfed seeing as their leagues ahead of the other characters.

>>378239370
Use the face buttons to switch between targets if you're using motion controls. I think it's up on the dpad for non-motion and SL for single joycon.

>>378237539
This was my experience as well. The Pro Controller is so much better than the motion controls.

Love the motion controls in Splatoon, but this game relies way to heavy on them. I feel like the Pro Controller is the way to go if you want to get good, which surprised me a bit.

The only thing I hate is that blocking is on the analog stick. That's a fucked up placement for such an important move.

Overall I really enjoyed the 1v1 matches. The volleyball was pretty fun as well.

I really disliked the battles with more than 2 players. The game is obviously not meant to work like that since you don't have free camera movement. It's incredibly annoying to be locked onto one player despite seeing the other land behind you leaving your back open etc. etc.

I'm really torn on this game. Fun mechanics but most of the modes were shit except 1v1.

It was alright, but in just the hour that I got to test, I'm already kind of tired of it.

Yeah it's official for me, I am much better with traditional controls. Got up to 107 and would have probably gotten 110 if I weren't disconnected by server maintenance in the middle of the last fight

Which is a bit of a shame because motion controls are a lot more fun. Then again losing 2 out of every 3 matches ain't that fun either

Wrap your hands further around the joycons and your index/middle finger can press them without letting go of any important buttons

At least that works for me

I played yesterday with motion controls and did alright.
Played with the grip today and did much better. Button controls are much better imo.

>>378238524
holy shit suck more nintendo cock faggot

So how do you curve your punches with traditional controls?

The game was fun. Loved the 1v1 battles. played with a Pro Controller, works just fine for anyone who wonders.

If the game has a decent single player mode like Splatoon I'll pick it up.

>>378240307
Just imagine four-player basketball.

I played my first round using the motion controls.
It was fun but I felt like I didn't have a proper grasp on what I was doing, because of how you tilt to move AND punch, and grab attempts might not register and you throw two punches instead.

Playing with traditional controls on a Pro Controller was much better, just as movement was concerned and being able to attack sensibly.
The only real disadvantage is you wouldn't be able to control the arc of your punches individually. I.e. can't make your left fist move right and your right fist move left as the same time

>>378240319
you did better with button controls. is the more correct statment.

They really need to rethink the rules in FFA, I just won like 3 of them in a row by just getting the others to attack each other while I bitched out in the corner until there was only one left.

I mean I was punching the one whoever was winning here and there to keep it close but still

>>378240348
right analog stick

Played the first test yesterday with Joycons and hated it

Played this one with Pro Controller and I love it now. I might actually buy it. Dunking scrubs with Master Mummy is beyond fun.

>>378240321
I'm pretty sure that post was satire.
i hope

>>378240298
Yeah, it's surprisingly good with the exception of blocking.

>>378236429
I was unimpressed with ARMS but I'm not gonna sell my Switch over it.

No way I'm buying a second set of Joycons to play this shit in 2 player.

>>378238002
>>378237620
>>378236552
Jesus christ. Hold joycons, sticks facing each other, flat edge to the screen, rounded edge toward you.

FOLLOW BASIC INSTRUCTIONS.

>>378240348
Left stick (for both punches)

>>378240446
It's a mode designed to reward griefers more than anything. It's not really made for fairness.

>>378235291
Switching targets seems to be a pain and I prefer one on one matches myself.

I find if you just do short jabs and not swing your arms like a spaz that they work pretty good. Blocking will have to get some getting used to, although I just dodge and jump more than blocking.

>>378240319
Probably because you're already used to the button control. Unlike Splatoon, where gyro was only needed for finer precision aiming, Arms require a lot of investment into the motion control. The controls are probably the game's biggest enemy, not the actual opponents.

>>378240518
Technically you can play two player with one joycon each.

>>378236969
Pretty sure it's less than that too

>>378240428
i imagine that would be a major disadvantage in higher level play.
but i sucked with motion yesterday but now im great with them.

>>378240556
None of those retards have obviously ever touched a Swith, just report them and the thread and move on.

>>378240348
keep in mind that you stand still when punching so the left stick shifts to controlling the punch

Can you do a wide grab using button controls?

FFA, like Volleyball and the other non-traditional fighting modes, are just mini-games in between the actual matches. Don't put too much effort into them and just play around.

>>378236976

yeah okay

>>378242885
They are okay, but yeah motion controls are just so fucking good. At least people who prefer button controls for whatever reason have them as an option. I just can't use them near as well for this. Punching with the joycons is so much more accurate and natural.

>>378245763
tilt back on the joycons you inbred

>>378245870

Doing that only activates blocking.

>>378245954
You sure you aren't accidentally pointing the joycons together while you do it?

>>378245954
No, that means youre tilting the joycons together, just put them straight back

>>378246559
>>378246518

They are straight back and it blocks.

>>378247557
You're tilting them in, my dude
It's not rocket science

>>378247794

No I'm not.

>>378247859
Well then congrats, you're the only person in the world that can't use backwards walking with these controls. Sucks to suck

There's another one in a little over 3 hours

>>378247557
Are you sure you are holding them the right way? The rounded part is facing towards you

>>378244696

Yeah must be Nintendo's fault

>>378248160
Not really.
Expect a $20 game and you won't feel as let down.

Splatoon's motion controls were tacked on top of traditional controls to help make aiming much more precise. It wasn't a replacement, it was an addition and a well executed an achieved one.

ARMS out right replaces a majority of functions with motion controls.
