ARMS Global Test Punch Day 1

Minmin and Mechanica

Basketball is worse than volleyball; who wants to play Grab the Game? Boss fights were fun but too chaotic to be tactical, much preferred them to triple threat though.

I'm not enjoying the game as much anymore.
I wish I did but it's just not grabbing me (hue) as much as I hoped it would.

Oh well, it's an alright game, hope they'll do a great job with updates and all post launch and everyone enjoys it, but I think for me personally, despite gitting gud at it and hitting 100+ points multiple times in testpunches, this is just not my jam. I'll be busy with Splatoon 2, Tekken 7, Monster Hunter and whatnot anyhow.

N-NANI?!

Don't know my final score because it reset every time I went to the main menu, had to do it a few times because of interruptions, and didn't get to play the full hour. All in all I think I still ended up in the high 60s, which is okay I guess considering this is the first testpunch I actually got to play in.

I didn't even try anybody but Minmin though, didn't really want to. Didn't get much chance to figure out her personal mechanics though, mostly was just struggling to figure out what the fuck I was doing. But I had fun at least.

Played Ninjara and Helix, kept switching rooms so I didn't have a concrete score.

I concur. First devastating defeat I've taken as a Ninjara was to the first one of those bitches I fought.

>>378910417
Ribbon Girl the whole way through. Score was 90-95, don't remember because I got disconnected in the middle of a match.

Really felt the rust in the first few fights even though it's only been a week.

>the developers explicitly state that in the more competitive matches, motion controls would always beat traditional controls

Why are people playing this shit? Reminds me of No man's Sky. Would just be a 15 dollar eShop title if it didn't get this big marketing push for some strange reason.


Yes, I've played it. It's bad.

>>378910914

Honestly she does seem to counter him. It might be due to her arms loadout, though. Looks like the umbrella arms can ruin a spamming Ninjara's shit.

>>378910417
Everyone in my lobby was great at the game so it felt much more fun and challenging. Ended at 2nd best in the lobby 2 points behind the lead with 72 points. Everyone was neck and neck so it was super close. Ended up adding everyone in this lobby to my friends list so we can have a rematch once the full game comes out.

>>378911213
The developers rarely get the final say on what is the most optimal way to play a competitive game.

I wouldn't mind win/loss data based on control scheme, though.

>>378911109

I too wonder how people are getting numbers so high. The lobby tonight especially was spamming the longer match types, like vs. Hedlock, rather than the quick 1v1s.

>>378911221
A charged chill arm shuts down a Ninjara pretty bad too.

Not gonna lie, former Arms pre-orderer here. This is fucking hilarious watching Nintendo crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this game get the test punch codes.

If you can't win a 1v1 using Springman and his default toaster gloves, you ain't gud.

This is a fact.

>>378911461
This happened to me when playing this one Springman. My punches wouldn't hit him, and grabs would phase through him. Every other person I played with went buttery smooth, but this guy, whether I fought against him, or got teamed with him, lag would always throw off my hits.

I hope this doesn't become a thing, since last week went off without a hitch, and today as well, except him.

>>378911527

level 7 is just not possible. Even if you're a competent player, your entire team needs to be just as good to even attempt to win

Alright guys, I'm gonna bite.

Where are their real arms?

Anon, your love left because of the modes. Buy the game, we need more /v/eekends with punching the shit out of eachother.

I'll even let you win

>>378911636
Same shit happened to me, but I had about five matches like that and two people who disconnected in 2 vs 2 matches. Strange thing about one of the disconnects is that I could have sworn that they were playing on the from the same Switch, so I don't know how the other guy could have stayed conncted. It did cause an odd but benign glitch in the fight though.

>>378911873
He's a bit more aggressive, but the bigger thing is he seems to have more health. If your team is uncoordinated you're liable to just run out of time against him. When you've got people tossing out grabs and supers and actually landing them instead of having them interrupted by other players, it goes well.

>>378911873
i fought both and won level 4 multiple times but level five would sometimes K.O. one person and we could never get him dead, just close after full 99 seconds

>>378911873
All depends on what he has. If gets a Popper or stacks either of the dragons, you're fucked. His Rush bomb can kill you at half health.

>>378910996
Min Min's dragon buff makes her left arm permanently charged until you get knocked down. You can charge it by holding dash or jump but most smart people will rush you if the gap is small enough. The best way to charge it is to just grab people

Dragon buff Megaton stun into grab is a scrub destroyer

Hedlok is easy just have ONE person get behind him doing charge punches. Was able to take down lvl 6 this way.

Kinda funny since I got to play only 15 min before the test ended and my first match was against a lv 5. Didn't even know there were other levels. We won easily, but lost another lv 5 match later when he put Ninjara's head up his ass.

Why two threads?

>>378910417
No clue about score due to switching lobbies but I mostly play as Mechanica and Helix. They feel more engaging to play then the rest of the characters.

>>378912106
No debate on that

So are the motion controls actually good? Precision's always been a sticking point for me, and I do figure if the joycons respond well you at least have better curving for your punches.

>>378911767

That was probably me. I was stumbling HARD in figuring out the controls since I haven't played any of the other testpunches.

I'll admit I got utterly fucking bodied more than a few times, particularly when I was exposed to a new technique/character/weapon and didn't have much chance to figure out wtf was going on before dying horribly.

>>378912057

I'll have to try messing around with it some more. Unfortunately all of the testpunch times are fucking godawful inconvenient SHIT for me so odds are good I won't get another chance until the game comes out.

>>378911767

Yeah, you have better control as to when and how much to curve your punch and how wide your grab is, also it's easier to control Helix's tall stance, kinda hard to avoid and attack while also holding him in place on a controller.

Hammer curves good. Distract/approach with revolver and whip hammer around the side for a good chunk of damage.

Hover throws people off more than you'd think, you can cover a lot of ground with hover/dash approaches and land charged and ready to go.

Abuse revolver shock.

fucking thing wouldn't load an online match and then it was over.

It's not as fast or reliable as the trailer makes it out to be though.

>In the fiction of Arms, can people elect to have extendable arms? Can they have surgery to do that? Or is just certain people have these arms?

>Ishikawa: Some parts of this are still secret. I can’t really tell you everything, but what I can say is it’s not something that they can elect for – not something that you would get surgery for, to replace your arms. It’s possible that some characters have had this since birth and it’s also possible that, for some characters it just suddenly...one day, they woke and were different. So, there are actually, really several different possibilities that could be the cause for this. So, aside from Helix, all the other characters like Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, and Min Min – these are just regular people with extendable arms and not cyborgs or anything like that.

>>378913234
well Slapmanders are a curving weapon so they always hit home even when you curve them, same go for boomerangs and chakrams. Other ARMS just follow the path you set them to.

Anyone knows what tool from sai can I use to get some colors like this?

>>378911705
Hell yes. I really just don't see how people have issues, it is just using two flight sticks at once. LIKE VIRTUAL ON.

Please do not lewd noodle girl

>>378913775
It would be extremely painful.

>>378913757
Maybe it was before she woke up with noodle arms

>>378913815
Sai has a color picker tool. Looks like a dropper?

>>378912106
Homie is top fucking tier. Charge it up and watch the big damage, plus is scares people into moving as you want them too.

I am talking about brushes

>>378914029
You think so? I like it I just didn't find it that useful. The charge attack is fucking satisfying though.

Do you run it with hammer or revolver?

>>378912106
Revolver feels the most necessary. Getting that shock in is huge. Both whammer and homie are really useful, but I did end up using whammer more.

>>378914195
Oh. I guess you would have to make your own.
Sorry, I'm not a pro with Sai.

This just made her more dangerous

>>378914195
Seems like a streaky brush, a watercolor brush, and a grungy brush
Mess around with textures and brush shapes

I gotta give it a try then. I wasn't a huge fan of the hammer it just felt kinda necessary to have a big hitter since the other two are so easily deflected. Probably not a huge deal though.

The lobby I was in was full of shitters. I ended up getting 95 points. I mean, it was nice seeing the high score but I felt like I was taking candy from babies.

>>378914951

>>378913857
