though I don't think nintendo's younger audience is gonna have much fun with this game. Fighting the AI is rather difficult and PVP is really defensive.

Fun is a buzzword when you have nothing good to say about the game
Still ARMS could be easily a fantastic game , the sad part is the game needs to be 30$ or 20$ at least , it lacks content and have no single player campaing.

>>380847635

Don't you lose control over the direction of your punches? That is one of the primary gameplay mechanics, and most of the better arms require mid-flight adjustments to be used most effectively. Most people are just randomly flailing around right now, but as people get better and learn the meta-game, you'll be flattened because you won't be able to make use of one of the primary combat abilities.

I kinda hate to invite this comparison, but is ARMS Nintendo's Overwatch?

It seems like it's a lot more popular than everyone thought it was going to be. But it's simple enough for entry level players, but complex enough for the hardcore.

Also, Nintendo may have created a new niche for fighting games.

>>380847763

It has plenty of single player modes and content, and the AI is actually challenging enough to make it viable in the long-term.

No.

>>380847683

Nope. You can't control the direction of punches independently, and you can't adjust as much mid-flight. You may do alright now, but you are just gimping yourself if you intend to keep playing past the next few weeks.

The primary gameplay mechanic is controlling your punches, and you are unable to fully do that with your control method. You may be able to move/dodge better, but that is it.

>>380847806
You control the direction with the analog stick. The only awkward thing is having to click left stick to guard.

I would like a mechanic that took advantage off the pro controllers gyro shit, like flick the controller vertical to guard.
thats the only advantage motion controls have

>>380848091

You can not control the direction of each arm independently while mid-flight, and you have less control of the curve of your arm. I tried both, and realized that traditional controls will fuck you over in the long-term if you hope to compete at higher levels.

You won't be able to fake people out as effectively, or break grabs as easily. Hell, even basic techniques, like throwing one bunch straight forward, and curving another around are impossible, as far as I could tell while using my pro controller.

>>380847842
>but complex enough for the hardcore.
You are kidding yourself if you think this. There will be no Arms tournaments aside from what Nintendo holds because no one would ever play this competitively. High level strategy is basically nothing but turtling. That does not make a good game.

> You can't control the direction of punches independently

As in, you can't curve one punch in a different direction from the other. Meaning you can't so basic techniques, like faking people out or throwing one punch straight at them, while curving another punch to hit them in the side, or breaking a grab with one hand while hooking to counter with another.

Traditional controls are alright for very low levels of play, but you will be dominated as you fight more skilled opponents.

Me.
I had no fun playing Arms though shill. Defend v ball now

>>380848560
If that's teh best defense you can come up with then it's clear we both know Arms is greatly lacking in depth. It's a lot like For Honor where people thought it was awesome to remove all that icky stuff that makes fighting games complicated, oh wait except it turns out being really complicated is the only thing that makes them worth money.

Top 5 Things I Like About ARMS

2. Nintendo is the best company in the world!
3. Colorful graphics!
4. Nintendo!

>>380848946

Not in all situations, and in some it is just a calculated risk. It isn't like you are completely defenseless, and with characters like Ninjara, it isn't much of an issue at all, due to his dodge being overpowered as all hell.

>>380845526
Hard to say. But unlike For Honor, you can still play offensively. The game has a decent training mode, and the last 2 stages of it give you an AI that stays mobile in the air, and one that only counters. Both are rough as hell to deal with, but allow players to work on being offensive and delaing with overly defensive play styles. Beating Level 4 AIs can be tough, and they are only Normal mode. People dismissing the game off day one impressions are doing it a sore disservice.

>>380848946

Min Min also doesn't need a free arm to block, as her jump can also deflect.

>>380848964

>>380849779
Nice pasta, 7/10. But this isn't an ARMS thread. Try again somewhere elae.

>>380848917

For one thing, each stage itself requires you to subtly adjust your playstyle according not only to the character youre facing and their unique abilities, but also according to which arms they are using. Depending on the stage, you need to learn how to jump better in such a way that allows you to traverse the stage without leaving yourself open to attack, this chance is increased if the enemy is using a projectile arm or a faster arm, and in the case of a character like Twintelle, you have to adjust yourself to her ability to slow time and if you're playing on her stage, you have to learn how to maneuver around the cars and use them for cover as well as work to prevent your opponent from making use of them as well. In Springmans stage the middle of the stage is very open but is also quite small, but using the springboards on the ends can help you to get around opponents, but they can also be used against you as with a well timed throw and opponent can send you flying onto one and then unleash a special attack at just the right time before you hit the ground. Curving punches also is critical to pinching opponents and preventing them from circling around you and constantly dodging your strikes.

Compared to street fighter, where the stages are usually just static wallpaper for aesthetic purposes and the emphasis is not so.much on coo ordination, but timed input commands that must be learned and memorized if one ever expects to get good, Arms is nice change of pace. I'm not saying it's better, but it has its own approach to the same basic idea that governs the fighting genre

>>380848673

>Compared to street fighter,
There are fighting games besides SF. Tekken has multiple stages that play differently too. Their stages also effect your combos, ya know something you'd actually have to practice. Not just something that situationally helps you land a single hit.

Is that is it? Because fighting games usually have combos, different special inputs like quarter circles or button combinations like in Tekken, variable stages like you just described, a larger roster, more moves per character, a larger variety of mix ups and actual defensive moves.

Arms has no depth compared to a real fighting game dude. I think it's a fun little game but I am very happy I have a friend who bought it because it's not something I would spend 60 bucks on with how little there is to do by yourself. Ultimately you can't practice this game alone like you can a fighting game which removes most of what you usually do in them.

None of these things can be practiced nor need to be. This game is extremely flawed design wise and is just turtling the game. I'm sorry if you thought it's gonna be the next big thing anon but you're delusional, it's very mediocre for a 60 dollar game.

I can't beat Hedlok level 4 with Spring Man. Tried it about 100 times since yesterday with different strategies and only taken a round off him once or twice.

I do well online, so it's not like I'm completely shit at the game. He just has everything Spring Man has and much, much more, and the game constantly dumps healing areas on him that you can't contest or else you just eat everything he has and he heals anyway. It seems like the only way to win is for the computer to make bad mistakes repeatedly, which it doesn't really do. I don't know how you're supposed to beat him.

Holy fuck, it's been a long time since I've gotten mad playing a game. Took me at least an hour to beat hedlock on lvl 4. Honestly i'm probably just shit at this game, but no other game has actually forced me to get better and rethink what i'm doing in a small time frame. Even with the soulsbourne series, I could just cheese my way by summoning, while this game l leaves it up to me.

>>380860276

I beat the ever loving shit out of people who turtle.

>>380860786
Cause once you aren't an idiot and can deal with grabs offense becomes very weak. Good movement is also easy and pretty safe.

Now I'm sure you'll come back with well actually I beat defensive players all the time, yes the point isn't defense is invincible just that it is the strongest strategy. Oh wait It already happened >>380861167

>>380859706

I was having the same issue, i'm not good either, but my reccomendation is too save your Rush for when the heal/rush item falls, to force him out of it. Even if he blocks the rush, it's better than him sitting there while he bodies you and heals. My reccomendation is using the gloves that look most like boxing gloves.

>>380861016

Git gud. I beat Headlock 4 first time.

No.
We know that Nintendo® is the only company that can program fun and other companies only program artificial fun as they don't have access to the actual fun's source code.

It is also well known and documented that Nintendo® is the only company that can program important and objective features such as charisma and personality.

If I were you, I'd buy a Nintendo Switch™ if you want to have true fun.

>>380861570
I actually did just that, but to go on once you are no longer worrying about grabs you see that normal punches don't do much as you aren't confirming them into much like a normal fighting games and you don't have that many options regarding them outside of curving. But they also open you up including to grabs, so it is a high risk low reward. Seeing as you have good movement dodging stuff isn't too bad so any attack is a big risk.

Thus defense is best, means you can better deal with grabs and aren't opening yourself up for a low reward.

>>380861690
>There's other means to have strong defense.
Which is exactly the point being made, strong defense is the best strategy. The game has as many timeouts as SFxT.

>>380861858

Depends what I'm using, what my opponent is using, and how they are fighting. Prefer a challenge, but if I'm not going to get a good hard fight I really love just overwhelming them.

I asked this earlier but didn't receive a response. If motion controls can steer both arms separately at the same time and the pro controller cannot, doesn't that mean they are objectively superior?

i know this is the meme perception but come on, i hope you dont actually believe it.

sonys been pushing shitty movie games but most of them fail (see The Order), the ones that do well like Naughty Dog are decent games that are enjoyable. for the vast majority of fun derived from owning a ps4 comes from the weeb games, none of which are "movies", yakuza, nier (i know its on pc but thats not the point), gravity rush 2, nioh, last guardian, tekken, they're all fun games.

im sure xboners have games that appeal to them, maybe they dont, i dont play so i wouldnt know

nintendo makes a lot of lighthearted games that are really fun and approachable even just aesthetically. that doesnt mean all games have to look and play that way to be fun, dont feed console wars

>im sure xboners have games that appeal to them, maybe they dont, i dont play so i wouldnt know

Xboners, by sales charts, buy shooters and sports. Everything else may as well not be on the console.

>>380863353
Yep. Almost every time I've seen a Ninjara, the first attack they do is go for a grab.

>>380855713

I used to hate going against Ninjara, because I have never played against ANYONE playing him that doesn't just spam the grab attack over and over and over.

Then I did the training mode that teaches you how to deal with grabs. It took me about an hour to get used to it, but now I'm able to fucking destroy all of the fags and their gay ninja.

Now I hate Twintelle the most, because she is the perfect counter to my playstyle with Mechanica, and I haven't figured out a reliable way to counter a good Twintelle player.

Can't you deflect grabs with a punch? This game is more technical than it looks.

>>380863353

How is Helix used by trolls? Everyone I've played against that used him didn't know what they were doing, and got destroyed. Nobody seems good enough to do that shit they were showing off in the trailers yet.


>>380863330

Let me know how it goes. I've been maining Mechanica and like her, but if she really is underpowered, I should probably switch to someone else.

How was Gravity Rush 2? I had the first one on the Vita, and it had potential, but kind of sucked overall. One of those frustrating games, because it could have been great, but they just managed to fuck it up.

>>380863785
Lots of hate, why not nemesis or rivals? I mean, they pushed you to become better and overcome. You're a better player because of them. They're a challenge you overcame, or are working to overcome, part of your growth. Not something to despise or loathe.

>>380863992
>Let me know how it goes
Didn't get any friend request yet

But putting this aside, it's too early to see if a character is underpowered or not, the game was out yesterday and updates will change the meta anyway.
I main Mechanica too (yeah, what a surprise) and she is one of the characters with the best mobility, it feels like there's no way that she is underpowered

>>380863992

Oh I ran into one Helix that just destroyed me. But yeah, most fight like trash. The character appeals to trolls though. And they try, even if they suck.

But it's what i'm hyped most for. It's overshadowing everything, I can't even finish my backlog without thinking about it.

>>380863785

I like to avoid using grab when playing Ninjara. I play him with different ARMS and pressure the opponent.

Ninjara grabspam is really just a symptom of the fact that grabs are often the strongest punishment option in this game and Ninjara is a punish-focused character. I think grab damage should be lowered to make it a less desirable option. Grabs leave you wide open in multi-battles but in 1v1s they are too good and there's no reason to use regular punches to punish. Leads to a lot of repetitive games where people are just grabbing all the time. It should be an option to beat guarding, not a universal optimal punish.

>>380844837
>>380845297

Switch owners so desperate por SOMETHING, ANYTHING that they buy this glorified Mario Party minigame.

I'm so sorry, guys.

All of the controls are joke. Can't move with waggle. Can't punch accurately with pro controller. The only reason pro controller is better because movement is far more important that accuracy.

It's objectively so much fucking slower. Even at higher levels of play you will lose to move punch spam everytime.

>>380864461
That would just make the game more defensive cause you worry about throws less. What the game needs is more options to both punish and pressure.

>>380864814

This. I have no problems moving so far with waggle. I'll take slightly less accurate movements over the inability to control each are separately any day, because dodges and jumps still work perfectly with waggle, and those seem to be the most useful ways to evade anyway.

>>380864129
gravity rush 2 is like an improvement over the vita version in every way, and i really enjoyed the vita version. i agree though it was really hit or miss, the controls took a lot of getting used to (specially the shit where you ahd to hold the corners of the screen to slide).

GR2 pretty much feels like the game they wanted to make, a lot of the ideas are better fleshed out and of course way easier to control. the music and atmosphere is still great and even more varied, the overworld is huge, like really huge. i dont know how much of the first you played but the 2nd game has the entire overworld of the first game within it. and its only a small fraction of the overall map.

definitely recommend it if you enjoyed the first somewhat but got turned away by the system, i dont blame you, going back to playing the first on vita after 2 feels like hell, id rather pay for the hd remaster

It's more of a Ninjara thing since he's basically built around grab spamming. Even the AI is a grab spamming nigger as Ninjara..

I ended up beating the first because there was something appealing about it despite everything that pissed me off about it (and I kind of enjoyed the story and characters, even though it was nothing that new). I'll have to give the second one a shot. Thanks!

>>380844837
Why should games be fun? Games should have political undertones in order to encourage gamers into the right way of thinking. ARMS should have a wheelchair bound character and a gender agnostic trans otherkin person of color. It should have a strong anti-Trump and anti-GG message. Games need to have this in place of fun. Gamers will not survive without becoming multicultural. It is a huge transformation for gamers to make.

>>380865570

Go to training mode and do the grab counter training. It takes a bit to get the hang of it, but I can't describe how great it feels to go back to online play and fucking destroy the grab spammers. Most of them leave the lobby I'm in after a match or two against me now.

I'm saying that if I'm using my rush on Ninjara's shield, he can easily dodge out of it and circle around to counter you. He was the only CPU I fought on level 7 that would guard my rush and then dodge out of it, everyone else just guards through the whole thing.

>>380866203

Ninjara's guard makes him automatically teleport. In my experience it actually makes him get hit by rushes more since he's vulnerable for a short period after he does it. The lvl7 CPUs probably have the reaction time to dash out of it after teleporting, though.

I'm loving this game, but can't take it for more than small doses. I'm getting stomped in Grand Prix as Helix, even at the lower levels. He's the only character I feel is too technical for a beginner's style of gameplay, but I'm sure he'll be amazing in the right hands. Unlocking Arms feels a little difficult too -- you gain in-game currency at such a slow rate, even playing online.

My only other complaint is that switching your target in free for all is a pain and not intuitive if you're playing with motion controls (you hit one of the face buttons). I got my ass beat because I couldn't switch focus, and just happened to finally rotate my wrist and mash the B button. It should use a flick of the control sticks or the two middle and index finger buttons on the other side of the controller, honestly. That was a weird oversight on their part to make it such a difficult to reach button.

I'm excited for DLC too. Grand Prix feels good for what it is, but more single player modes could be a lot of fun. Wasn't there supposed to be a 1v100 mode or did I make that up? Training Mode would be nice too.

Also, just spitballing ideas for more modes to make sure I'm not alone here:
>Free Kick (Punch?) Mode where you compete between punching a ball into a goal and blocking the shots as a goalie
>Sandbag/Car/Barrel/Crate Busting Mode similar to Street Fighter where you pummel shit for a score
>Homerun/Grand Slam Mode where you need to pummel and then launch an opponent further than they launch you
>3v1 Mode (or does this already exist?) with a giant character versus normal sized ones
>different arm ideas for new characters: vines, seaweed, ropes, yarn, string, worms, floating hands (no arms), power cables, electricity, water, eels...

It really isn't the most optimal though. Yes defence is highly valuable in ARMS. But you also need to constantly stay on the offensive. Or else you'll fall behind in terms of accumulating your power meter. And that's a death sentence.

With ARMS you have to learn how to balance being both offensive and defensive. You can't just play defensively and rely on counters. And you also can't just play offensively without guarding or countering.

Imbalanced play is typically with doom in this game.

I swear that the only time these people punch normally is by accident, given the tiny gap between the punches it doesn't even seem like an impossible explanation for the rare time when a ninjara isn't trying to grab you.

I was in ranked against a Ribbon Girl and couldn't do a thing.
She would hop once and airdash around and did stuff only when I did, and everything I threw missed.

I was Min min with Megawatt/Ramram

Try using Hydras (Kid Cobra's weapon). They beat Ribbon Girl easily.

I had fun trolling some kids online. One fucker got so pissed that he told a mod on me. I got off the hook because I had proof this angry loser told me to kill myself.

I was Ribbon girl against a Min Min with Megaton/Poppers, I had the same problem you had in reverse. Hopping and airdashing around while only throwing punches/grabs when my opponent does something usually works very well and makes for some intense fights, but this Min Min just destroyed me. Her Megaton was consistently charged and it was huge, I found it almost impossible to dodge despite all my mobility, whether I was in the air or on the ground.

>>380844837
Lobby where

Fug
Ninjara's grab spam training uses block way too seldom, I can't get the timing down on when to fire my second arm after he reappears.

I'm always having fun with vidya, I have a home theater PC. No library droughts.

Could you imagine the SJW backlash if the roles were reversed?

Where is Mechanica from? What language is she speaking?

>>380882909
Turkey. It's turkish.

Is this game any good? I watched the E3 tournament and thought it looked decent

I'm not the guy to get excited about online games, but damn I'm loving this one.

Felt good, I think people overblow the whole "tf2 is shit now" thing, even though it's definitely true that community servers got fucked hard because of the last update.

Aww, do you need your safe space, you little bitch?

Yooka Laylee is pretty bad, pirate it and see for yourself. Theres supposed to be a new update but the changelog doesn't seem to address the core problems
