>>381043568
Where the content is right now, a 7 or 8 sounds about right.

When the content updates start rolling in and add new maps, fighters, and gamemodes, it'll be a solid 9.

DSP can't beat a kids game.

what a weird life

>>381044297
Hey, it's the life he chose.

Is there an advante to holding dash to charge instead of just shielding?
I know that it's useful for Minmin and Twintelle for their special abilites, but for other characters it seems strictly worse since it leaves you more open than the guard.

>>381044563
the charge lasts longer with holding dash

>>381043540
I have won with a +4 handicap, but it was against some girl who had no idea what the fuck she was doing

>>381044563
For Mr snek, the jump and sheild charge only gives him 2 quick dashes. A full dash charge gives him 4 quick dashes, so it's pretty important to try and charge your arms up as much as possible.

>>381044563
for spring man, you use the charge to do his reflect thing

>>381043540
Why is this game so hard

I love it but it's hard AF

The boss getting perma-charged at 25% or less health works from a single player perspective, but I hope they remove it from the player-controlled version so Springman can keep some of his uniqueness.

>>381045323
AI read inputs the game. You can exploit it, but only depending on your arms and who you're facing.

>>381044563
Mechanica continues moving with her jets if you dash charge.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with maining Kid Cobra.

>>381045419
It's because it's on Max's body. It'd do the same on Spring man. Just less armor.

>>381043735
double ice dragons is fucking gay, if your not playing someone liek kid cobra who is agile you get fucked

how do i git gud? ive been ramming my head int oa wall trying to beat hedlok on difficulty 4 at the end of spring mans campaign, any tips?

>>381045529
that's what I meant, I think Max Brass will more or less just be a better Springman if they keep that comeback mechanic

What are the throws in the game?

I noticed there are some gloves that don't have any element to them.
Is there an advantage to using those over the ones which are the same but with an element?

>>381045447
Yeah, but I mean that the game is hard to master as well.

>>381046194
you mean like Mummy's megaton vs Minmin's? I have no idea but I'd hazard a guess that their damage is different

>>381046194
I think the big orb one grows bigger when charged and throws quicker compared to it's elemental counter part and the other ones curve much better. Sorry I can't remember the names.

>>381045754
Mummy's = 200
Everyone else = 150-170

I just can't hit Ribbon Girl in the lvl3 punch training mode. Any tips? She just keeps jumping backwards and I whiff or hit her gloves.

Byte and Barq are so unfair in volleyball.

I just played against some poor Springman and he never stood a fucking chance. I jumped on Barq the whole time and could literally hit the ball the whole time it was on Springman's side.

>>381046194
Buff travels quick when charged
Bubb goes trough medium and small sized punches when charged, and gets cancelled along big fists.
Megaton becomes the biggest and therefore uncancellable fist when charged.

But aren't there throws like Mechanica and Kid Cobra's where they make multiple hits and end up with a 160 hit? Won't they be making more than 200 damage?

>>381047260
I thought that as well but the number at the end is just the total damage, otherwise Mechanica's would do like 3 or 4 hundred.

>>381043540
>can't afford ARMS until next month
H-have fun guys

THIS AI FUCKING CHEATS

If it's 1 v 1 v 1and my health is super low and you cold clock me to one hit from death while I'm fighting the guy with by far the most health I will turn my super on you and make sure you can't win.

How do I get good at the target game? I lose almost every time no matter what I try.

>>381048057
the absolute most important thing is to make your fist pass through some targets and then hit your enemy for a multiplier, targets alone make it hard to win

Or a kind of ARMS chosen one which only gets born each 100 years?

I really do think traditional controls work best for this game. Motion controls are nice, but I've gained a lot more precision with my punches since I made the switch.

Movement is also WAY smoother with analogue.

Japanese players have 0 tolerance for lag.

Any consensuses on what arm types are good yet, aside from electric and cold elemental arms?
Are the homing arms any good?
I've only tried them against A.I. and I'm not the biggest fan of them, but maybe I'm using them wrong or they are more useful against real people.
I also feel like I might be putting too much stock in the revolver type arms. I like to use them but I'm not sure how viable they actually are.
Popper type arms seem really good even though I writ them off at first, I find I can really rush people down with them if I can get up in their face.

Because most KC players are garbage and do nothing spam slaps and dash, then ragequit if that doesn't work. It gets tiring fighting so many of them.

This game is garbage. It's completely random if it decides your punches will connect or not. Some matches 100% of my shots connect, others they completely clip through people for no reason. It can't even follow its own rules: I have been knocked out of use attacks by standard attacks more times than I can count. It's sad people think they're good at this.

Wonder what button lets me turn 90 degrees and instantly grab someone? Oh wait, that isn't a tech in the game; it's literally random happenstance.

Ideas for DLC characters? We're definitely getting a LEGS right?

Also, this game feels unfinished, and not in the Splatoon way where DLC fixed it. There's not enough good single player content to teach players how to play, and it feels like it's missing a lot of the moveset it needs. Like, why is there only one throw (should be different based on direction tilted or something). There's like infinite content to grind and only the most tedious way to do it (can't pick which character or weapon to unlock/level up). The timer seems like a last minute idea to keep party mode flowing, it doesn't fit the rest of the design.

ARMS is fun but feels like something Nintendo threw together in a rush to guarantee no launch droughts.

>>381053768

>>381053569
probably because everyone's playing kid cobra
I've had 3 cobras in a row in ranked
It's not a bad thing, though. I was afraid that no one was going to play him because he seemed to be the least popular character before launch, so I'm glad that more people are playing him

>picked kid cobra purely because he looks cool

Gotta say that I love Mechanica in Skillshot. Her Revolver builds combos like a motherfucker.

>>381055236
Trombone arm

>>381054587
I feel like I might be able to agree with that. But right now electric seems like the most prominent of the elements right now because they almost guarantee a grab.
That might change later as knowledge of the game increases.
I think for example that electricity only disables your arms when your on the ground, so maybe people will learn to jump as they are about to get hit by electricity, therefore making fire's increased damage on hit superior.

>>381055236
I guess one of his arms could be one of the extra life balloons
It'd function like the megaton arm, getting bigger on charge, but it'd also have the wind element

>>381054857

So then why is that a thing that happens in 100% of matches if there isn't a button for it? The games lock on is random with how fast it snaps to targets.

Skill shot is literally nothing but grabbing, as it's impossible to miss combos doing it and if you land the grab it gives you an unbeatable lead, if it it's interrupted you automatically retract your arms and can go again meaning there's no punishment. You can't even punish knocking arms down with heavies because the game instantly gives you them back, in fact it actually gives you a free counter on the enemy.

It's the most poorly designed, "game" I've ever seen. 3/10 almost unplayable.

Except id doesn't ? The game lock on is slower if you throwed your arms in a direction the camera will still face a bit in the direction of your throw until it's retracted
>Skill shot is literally nothing but grabbing, as it's impossible to miss combos doing it
What ? how grabbing is a combo ?

You can't even punish knocking arms down with heavies because the game instantly gives you them back, in fact it actually gives you a free counter on the enemy.
No, they "auto retract" only if their trajectory is blocked near them, and even so they still have a second of lag allowing you to punish it if you only use one punch to block it

Either you've never played the game or you have a below third grade reading comprehension. Either way, on par for Nintendos demographic.

You cannot lose skill shot by spamming grab. If both of you are doing it, its RNG who wins.

it's not motion control dependent, so it'll probably have a bit longer life than wii boxing. it's a much easier game to pick up and play without exerting as much effort in having to waggle.

The gimmick doesn't even work. The game is a mess of mechanics that don't work.

Tbh I didn't know that it was called "skill shot" in english, but again I still don't understand how grab can be considered too powerful in this mode and why it makes him hate the game that much

>>381057468

So he's defending a game he's never played.

>>381043540
is there a faster way to get coins? I swear getting new arms is a pain in the ass

>>381057646

For the exact reasons I explained...Jesus fucking Christ you're retarded.

You know what it is, the characters lack character. They're just there, barely voiced. The whole game feels hollow personality wise.

Ninjara's stage is terrible for Barq and Byte. I kept doing things that typically let me jump on Barq but the constant elevation differences messed it up every time.

>>381058046
Now that's a first

>>381058184
In 2v2 all the win animations are generic. The in-game narrator is never one consistent person which makes it really hard to establish a tone. The yellow guy is not voiced like the trailers which is such a letdown.

The game just feels kind of dead. There's less voicework than mario party 1.

>>381057748

If so how the fuck do you need a 90° degree rotating button ?

How do '+' arms work? Do they just do more damage? How is that allowed?

>>381058754
some are also faster to throw/retract and do more grab damage
At some point everyone would have every +arms so it isn't that bad

Is this games community actually dying already or was everybody memeing? I'm thinking about getting it, but I'm just hoping that there will be a community

how good is master mummy?

>>381047724

I really hate how ribbon girl can make like 3 throw attempts in the air before having to land, and they're nearly impossible to break or dodge due to how shit vertical aiming is

>>381058960

The game won't die until Splatoon2, there's no doubt for that.After, I think that it will at least stay a year or two with a solid community until there's no update + e-sport support from nintendo

>in the middle of hitting someone with a rush
>they hit me and I die

great game nintendo

>>381059279
he's nice but I think his quirks are really underpowered compared to the rest of the cast
healing on guard is cool on paper but they should make it like a flat amount per hit absorbed or increase the healing rate because +10 every second is incredibly low and just makes the enemy grab happy
the super armor is nice but basically everyone always has their arms charged so it doesn't do anything against that
it would be really nice if it prevented charged arms from knocking you down or also offered damage reduction or something
his grabs are the strongest in the game though, which is nice

>>381049570

>>381059796
>the super armor is nice but basically everyone always has their arms charged so it doesn't do anything against that

The super armor is basically fucking worthless in this game when you have weapons that'll knock you down regardless and doesn't compensate for the large hitboxes. They really need to improve it.

isn't the grab happy point countered by throwing out a punch every now and then?
was thinking that you could bait out a grab by shielding for a second then throwing a punch when the inevitably grab, seems like basic mindgames

>>381060443
i was more talking about predicting a grab, like
>block for about 1/4 of a second, let guard down and throw punch
>enemy reacts to block and goes for grab
>gets hit
though it's nice that it's a good ranged option at least

that reminds me, does this game lean more towards reaction-based play or predictions? the system seems like your standard rock paper scissors fair

Why even fucking play as a heavy in this game? They're at such a huge disadvantage because their super armor does nothing and the hitboxes are massive. Nintendo should just delete Mechanica and Master Mummy at this point.

>>381060739
depending on the arms you have you can be more offense or defense oriented, reactionary or predictive
stuff like megaton arms are for locking down approaches/countering enemy attacks, same with the shield arm and things like that

>>381058353
now that you mention it, I feel the same way. There are personalities for these characters, but they all have less than 10 voice lines and 1 animation for victory/loss

This. Just do something to make them better.

>>381060739
I think the game in general rewards waiting for you opponent to move first, punches are easily doged or blocked. Grabs are meant to counter blocking, but you can instantly punch out of block to stop them, so they're very situational at best. I hope they do some rebalancing in the future

Fighting against AI in any multiplayer game is a fucking waste of time and teaches you bad habits, but Nintendo was like, "FUCK YEAH, LET'S MAKE THEM FIGHT AI TO PLAY RANKED MODE. HYUK HYUK, GOTTA PAD THAT FUCKING CONTENT!"

Again, playing against AI is fucking retarded. When it's an AI the "mind game" is completely different. Not only is there lack of ANY but you just end up saying shit like:
>"Why did the AI just DECIDE to do that?!"
Such as, "Why did the AI just DECIDE to not avoid this grab, but then PERFECTLY avoided this one?" if it was a player, it would make fucking sense. I could make sense of the situation, but not when it's a fucking AI.

>>381053209
And that's why there isn't a message system.

>>381062964
Do you just cheese the AI with some kind of tactic that it can't beat? If I wanted to cheese and manipulate AI, I would fucking play Civ5, not this shit. I just want to play Ranked mode.

I thought it would be such a cool ability, like being able to parry away attacks, but it takes 999999 frames to start up, lasts a decent bit of time and then does nothing.

Don't go for grabs. Wait for the AI to jump in the air to use your rush. Don't just throw random punches. Wait for the AI to throw one, dodge it and throw one yourself. Find a pair of arms that work well together not just random shit. Something like a quick freeze arm to slow them then fuck them up with a megaton.

Except there was no strategy in Wii Boxing, just flail your hands around and watch your Mii go. It's not like ARMS will be Tekken or anything, but its mechanics go deeper than just throwing your fists out there and winning

>>381063604
Pretty sure those are light arms, Ive had success using medium arms to deflect them. Chilla and Toaster as Spring Man to be precise.

>>381063859

>>381063084
>cheese the ai
I just rushed them with springman and red boxing gloves. Constantly did his dash reflect thing for charge and just raped them. Not much to it. Hedlok was a bit annoying but boomerangs eventually killed him.

>>381053841
>The timer seems like a last minute idea to keep party mode flowing, it doesn't fit the rest of the design.

Which timer do you mean? The arms getter, or in fights? Because fighting games always have timers. There are a lot of fights in Arms that would go on for fucking ever without a timer to keep things (relatively) succinct.

I agree that it could use a more fleshed out training mode. There are a bunch of things in the help section that could have been detailed more fully in such a mode, and there's no pass/fail state on the training matches they have in there, so a player could not understand what they're supposed to be being taught and not know if they actually did what the game wanted.

>>381060739
You can be predictive on occasion (against humans, anyway), but the game is reactive on the whole. You can usually make safe pokes to try and get them to move a certain way or do a certain thing that you want to react to a specific way, but it's a fairly defensive game.

>>381057035

>>381067012
I can't tell, it doesn't do any extra damage.

>>381067012
>>381067271
Normally when you charge an attack, you only keep the charge for a few seconds.
Min Min's left arm stays charged until she takes damage.

>>381044215
Do we know what difficulty level he's playing on during this?

>>381067354

>You can't hold on your charges

I never knew that's how things work

Im assuming Spring Man does the same when he's down %25 of his health left then?

>>381045653

>Max brass has BOTH of Spring Man's abilities and a bit of manual Master Mummy Super Armor

That is broken, and destroys the point of spring man, the only negative is that he's wider, and even easier to hit than Master Mummy when bulked up

>>381046905

He's vulnerable when jumping on Barq and takes longer to get up due to the increased height

All you have to do is knock it to the other side
People also forget that you can still hit your opponent in V-Ball

>>381067691
Arms only gain their attribute when charged. They automatically charge for half a second after you dash, when you land after you air dash, or after you shield for half a second.

If Min Min holds dash for a full second after her dash ends (unable to move) her left arm becomes permanently charged until she's knocked back. (Either by any elemental attack or a heavy weapon) She also gains the permacharge if she pulls off a grab.

So long as he's under 25%, Spring Man will NEVER lose charge on EITHER arm, even if he's knocked over. So, it's better, but if you're using it, you're not doing too great.

Let me get this straight for Max Brass

>Gets Spring Man's %25 Health Full charge
>Also Gets Spring Man's blowback but specifically while he's dashing
>Has a move that bulks him up to take a full hit, but the bulk itself makes him a bigger target and doesnt last long
>Has a punch that gets thrown out really quickly

It's hard to say if he'll be a little OP or too predictable and easy to hit

>>381068465

No, I just keep getting bodied by her and her overly peppy victory lines are now burned into my short term memory.

>>381068541
Deflect on dodges isn't specifically a mobility ability, but it does let you maneuver relatively unpunished. He'll at least be a straight upgrade over Spring Man, even if he isn't top tier. And Spring Man isn't exactly shit.

>>381068658
They're probably balancing him now. If he's really just a better Spring Man, he'll beat him all the time and they'll nerf him.

Unf

>>381068658

His biggest flaw is being a bigger target, even moreso when he bulks up for the super armor

It's a fair trade off that makes him and Spring Man balanced without being better

I recently started to play Springman, am I right that he seems to be the character most suited for being hyper aggressive and constantly in your opponents face?
The deflect on dodging makes it really easy to get in their personal space and with two popper type weapons or other fast weapons he can apply a lot of pressure while still being relatively safe with his dashes.
I'm really digging this kind of playstyle, a lot of people I've faced can't really deal with it.

Just came in mail. Should i use MOTION controls or a regular controller? Which is better?

I heard that the movement in regular is way easier but the motions have better punching...? Can you even be competitive with motion?

>>381070906
Motion is more fun, but beware of pic related.

How do I go about setting up a /v/ lobby?

>>381071032
You only have to flick your wrists to punch. Far as I can tell the only advantage to motion is the ability to spread your grab out, you can curve in two different directions with the stick if you let go of it between punches. You also have to let go of the stick after moving if you don't want your punch to curve.

>>381070906

>Can you even be competitive with Motion

Did you not watch that Nigger get absolutely destroyed by the games producer?

>>381071292
Yea but that was motion vs motion and not motion vs controller ya know

>>381070906
I'm garbage with traditional controls but had a half hour long +4 penalty win-streak with motion last night.

>>381070906
I would advise practicing with motion controls. Conventional controls are easier to get started with, but you can't achieve as much. It's easier to aim punches, you can aim each arm separately, and you can grab wider with motion. It's hard to transition to motion after getting practice in with a regular controller, but if you want to get good at the game, it will eventually be a necessary step. So really it depends on how good you want to be at the game. If you're competitive by nature, motion controls will take you higher, but you aren't horribly gimped in casual play by an analog stick.

Oh, neat. I'll give it a second chance. I'm probably gonna end up playing both controls alternatively if that's the case.

Why is mechanica so easy to beat in the campaign?

+4 is 75% off? In which case, I won two, but couldn't inch out that third victory.

I don't know what is it about Hammer that works so well against Ninjaras. I'm guessing it's becaue they react to it early, and don't realize the hammer hits with a small delay, and will sometimes follow where they're moving to instead of where they were.

You're not going to do well in ranked if you can't even clear level 4 Grand Prix. You're going to end up just as angry at the players who are better than you as you are at the AI.
