ARMS TESTPUNCH THREAD

Played one testpunch so far with motion controls.
Did well but didn't really like them that much, they just feel awkward in a way. I also hated every mode other than 1v1.

Gonna give pro controller with classic controls a try now and hope that's better, because if not I might skip this game

>>378264082
>trying out new things
I've already finished my phase of trying new characters and ARMS. I'll mostly just stick to my main this phase

God that's so fucking awful

It better be something actually sensible in the main release, like the L and R buttons or something

>>378264082

Keep it in one thread or people are just going to shitpost in our threads.

I've been playing in the warm up room all day so now I don't feel like playing

>you cannot access home menu

Anyone upset over this ? The Wii u would hardly ever let you leave a game. Not at all online. I was happy with the freedom on the Switch. But arms forces you to stay in lobby

>>378264082
Tried one hour motion controls, one hour traditional controls. I'm surprised how good traditional controls feel, considering the game was designed around motion controls. Was a bit harder to curve punches tho. Gonna play the next one with motion controls again now that I'm more familiar with the game.

First time playing the testpunch
Any tips?

>>378265754
Keep dodging

>>378265505
it is probably how it handles the home screen. from what i have seen the switch disables the game in the home screen so online would disconnect automatically

>>378265980
It doesn't do that with Mario kart

>>378266112
i wouldn't know. i didn't buy a switch :^)

>1v1v1 as Mechanica
>both people team up on me every time
Never fails

Is there a training mode I can just hop into later? I haven't been able to do the last test punches and I won't make this one either.

One thing I really like about arms is how it stays fun if someone leaves.

If someone leaves mid match in splatoon it sucks. In arms it's just more exciting. You can still win

Seriously, what fucking position does my hannd have to be in for this?

how the fuck do you do the super move with motion controls? I charge up but no matter what I do I can't get it to activate

>>378267770
Thumbs up grip with face buttons facing each other. The joycon grip should be pointed towards the screen

>>378267850
L2 or R2

The game literally explains this in the tutorial

>>378267873

Wow, this is the most uncomfortable I've ever felt holding a controller.

>>378267968
Well ZL/ZR isn't working for me. It won't do the move. Am I charging it wrong then?

>>378268045
Did you try making sure that you actually have a charge ready?

jump over it and punch them or just punch through it with a heavy arm

>>378269721
The controls are pretty bad no matter how you play it.

>>378269713
Or just dodge
Or just jump

I'm convinced people that get destroyed by grabs generally just sit still

Can you change the length or speed of your punches? Also is the curving 1:1 or just waggle to the left or right?

>>378269295
It's to keep the fights focused instead of 2v2 just being two simultaneous 1v1's or a frustrating gangbang with a bad camera. If you want to understand why there's a tether in 2v2 just play 1v1v1

What is Ninjara's fourth color? I've only seen Bubblegum and Shadow The Hedgehog.

>>378269616
it's the strongest thing about her though

Can't wait utill ribbon girl gets gutted so you shitters lose your free win character and get outted for the shitters you are.

Master Mummy is underpowered and has the largest skill ceiling.

Is it a good idea to put the Megawatt on Minmin's left? I can only assume that it becomes amazing when it gets fully charged, though the Dragon and Ramram might be better overall. I'm just trying to figure the benefits of a supercharged heavy fist.

This is so much better than the motion shit holy fuck.

>>378270406
Not really. If you tilt your hand the wrong way, you get locked into a block. Left stick isn't a great input for a block, but it's better than waggle.

Beyond your broken English

-Ult's can be blocked, rather it's recommended to just block them outright. A smart Ult user though will take a second to curve one of the punches to try to break your arm though, disabling your ability to block. I think all of myself and one other knows about that in practice though.

-You can block while on the ground. You can block everything but grabs, that bypass blocking. Punches can also curve and hook you past your block, so just blocking all day isn't great. Blocking an attack though puts the blocked arm in a longer recovery state then if they directly hit, or missed you. Really good vs Heavy arms, not super useful vs a Light arm user.

-Otherwise arms are broken up into weights ( light, mid, heavy ) and a heavier arm will go past, and cause a lighter arm to have a longer recovery time.

Hows the game so far?
Any character standing out as broken?

No, you're just bad at Helix.

>That glorious feel when he's starting to click for me.

The shield doesn't do much for me, but the Blorbs and Ice lasers are great. I usually use one of each, but Ribbon Girls get 2 blue balls. He's really not as bad as everyone is saying, you just NEED to master his weird dodges.

Spring Man - Dashing after a jump will acctivate hie arms charge mode when he lands. When the charge goes away he lets off a kind of anti-punch field which lasts for a split second.

Min Min - I think she can do a kick without jumping first, but i'm not too sure. I think I made her do a backflip kick just by double tapping the dash key while holding back on the analog stick.

>Dashing after a jump will acctivate hie arms charge mode when he lands
When you hold the dash button after a dash, or hold jump button after landing you start a charging animation for your arms. Releasing the button during this charge triggers his deflect to block incoming attacks.

Are the servers down?

>connection lost

Alright, got 94 points as Master Mummy. He's absolutely based with a heavy/slow + fast/light combo of arms once it clicks for you.
And he's funny as shit in FFA battles

>>378270938
Minmin when she dashes during a jump it knocks away any incoming punches.
It's basically Ninjara's i frames but better, you just need more precise timing for it.

God Ribbon Girl is super cheap, just double jump evades the entire fight.

Also server just went down 8 mins past. gg lads

Ribbon Girl is definitely S tier and you can tell by how many there are now compared to the first hour of testpunch. Every time I'd exit and find a new lobby it'd be swarming with Ribbon Girls.

Jumping is really strong and this game and this bitch gets like 4.

Angling shots upwards or towards the side that ether curve ( Chakaram/Ramram/Boomerang/Phoenix ) have weight ( Blorb/Whamer ) or have homing ( Ice Dragon/Dragon/Homie ) can outright bypass blocks as you'll hit them from above/in their back.

-If vs Ninjara or Ribbon Girl, it's far better to use light arm's, or heavy arms depending on if you want to ether attack RIGHT as they attack to disable their arms, or if you want to try to harass them yourself ( I prefer the heavy arm counter style, but do one or the other, do not do both )

>>378270938
Spring Man's reflection works on a dash, AFTER he's got his arms charged. If at 25% health or less, he can kinda dash around and spam it, but there's like a 2 second delay each time you do it.

Min Min's kicks are
-On the ground, dash backwords
-In the air, dash sideways
They work exactly like Springman's reflection, but they have more situational triggers. They also seem to have the same 2 second cooldown spam limit. She makes up for it though with her left arm that makes it stronger then normal, and can be charged to make it even stronger still. ( in retrospect: A normal are is Lv1, a charged arm is Lv2. 'Dragon'ed arm is lv2, and a charged 'Dragon'ed arm is lv3 )
