Arms thread nerds. Whos your main? How the fuck can you beat

I main the robocops and Helix.Japs got good all of a sudden,salt was made and now I'm taking a break

>>381225317
Maining Mechanica and having a pretty great time to be honest.

Had a nice win streak going last night so i managed to get 3 more arms from the arms getter for her.

>>381225317
Just finally got to it yesterday and wow do I fucking suck. Min min seems pretty strong right now, but i still have to try everyone. I wanna be excited for max brass but spring man isn't very fun to use right now so i doubt he'll be much better.

Are you guys using motion controls or normal button control? I enjoy motion controls cause they are pretty responsive but i cant do as much with them

>>381225994
Still haven't tried anything but motion yet

>>381225994
I couldn't stand the motion controls so I switched to normal controls like a scrub.

Maining Kid Cobra

>>381225317

Trial and error (and round reset abuse)
I love this game much more than I would have ever believed when it was first shown
Right now I need to do Helix's GP lv7 and GP will be 100% completed on my save, it feels good (I hope it'll unlock something)

Im currently level 5 ranked with barq and byte. Some people on there are so frustrating to play against. Struggling to find some good arms to use too. Any advice?

>>381226563
Damn man nice. Ive only done level 4 so I could play ranked. Whats level 7 like?

Any one here got gud at anti countering?
Feels good to shit on defensive shitters

>>381226796
Doable, the trick is to know what arms to choose and how to use your ability.
For exemple with Byte and Barq (since >>381226692 wants some advice), with Bark throwing punchs at random and the ability to jump on him, once you understand that Barq stays close to you then you must shorten the distance between you and your opponent and send as much fast punchs as possible , if he guard you can jump on barq and be near invulnerable.

Hedlock is fucking boring though, your best bet is to use Hydra or some multiple hit arms + stay away (with dashes) from him while throwing charged punchs

>>381226692
The combo that seems to be working when I'm playing is Popper + Slapamander

I've tried everything else, but having a curve hand on your right and a straight on your left works

Post armfus

Is this as strange to play as it looks?

Like when you're a mile away from your opponent at all times, is that a visual thing, or does it actually feel like you're boxing someone far away?

>>381228795
You can move in and out, and it's recommended you keep the ideal range of the arms you got equipped.

I usually try to close the gap so they look pretty close to me.

>>381228795
Ive never really thought of it. It just feels like youre fighting at medium / close range

Is this game worth $60 now or should I wait? The test punch was fun but my third world tier connection was never good enough to play it. Just moved into my new place though and have much faster internet (60 mbps compared to 4)

>>381229264
Id say so. Its got the best online stability nintendo has ever produced and it really is a fun game to play. Dope af 1v1 is

>>381229264
It's pretty much the test punch, but with the option of best out of 3 ranked modes and the ability to change arms

So its up to you.

>>381229264
Do the first version of a fighting game is worth it's price for you (for instance : GG Xrd Sign, Blazblue Calamity Trigger, the first ver of SFIV, ...) if no, wait for the free updates

>>381229005

Does the game have a limit to how close you can be to a player? Could you stand nose to nose with the opponent if you wanted to?

>>381229078

Like zoning in Pokken or a traditional fighter, or it's like it's own thing?

I'd really like to main Helix and Robocop but I'm so shit with their deffault ARMs, so I'm using Min-min

Any advice about what ARMs should I get for them?

Maining Ribbon Girl, having more fun than I've had with fighting games since vanilla Street Fighter IV. Beat GP for all characters on level 4 and haven't gone back since, instead opting to grind my way up in Ranked. Currently rank 8, maybe two more fights away from rank 9.

Hopefully on Friday we can get a /v/eekend going. Until they add in a communities/tournament mode, we have to stick to adding one another and having multiple lobbies up, but I'm cool with that for now.

>>381229959
Yeah you can box someone into a corner

Some arms are totally long range oriented like the dragons, so its kinda like zoning in a traditional fighter.

>>381226847
Teach me your ways. I've been going up against a lot of higher rank Spring Man players lately and I don't have an answer to their constant deflecting.

>>381226847
i dont even know what that is so teach me how, my guy

>>381228795
It depends on your playstyle.
My playstyle is really offensive so I'm always trying to have the least distance between me and my opponent (there's a small invisible wall so there's always a short "distance") but if you want to play from far away you can.
It is it's own thing so that's normal to see it as "strange" when you look at it, but if in a few months some tournaments starts to pop then it'll become more and more normal

>>381229264

it is when you lobby up with /v/

Barq doesn't throw punches at random. They're all in reaction to what Byte does in some way.

Popper and slapamander are both crazy arms. I can't believe they gave them to Ribbon Girl as a default.

Spring Man, with his normal ass boxing gloves. No gimmicks, just regular-ass boxing. Playing online, it's like playing Punch-Out with a randomizer.

Maining ribbon girl got rank 4 beat with her rank 3 min min and rank w springman. Still just dicking around in party mode. Going to try more characters in GP and get more arms for ribbon girl before getting into ranked. Can't see me ever beating rank 7 headlock though. Having fun.

Umbrella arms need to be nerfed, they totally invalidate all other similar arms.

One thing to note for making lobbies is that you only need one player in the lobby on your friend list to be able to join and it doesn't have to be the host. Still would be better to have a community code but at least it makes it a bit easier to get some /v/eekend lobbies going.

to the point that you just can't see what the fuck you need to do to overcome it?

Like an AI that seems like it reads you perfectly and there's absolutely no exploit
but there are already people who got to much harder parts of the game

That is ARMS to me
I'm not even angry or frustrated, just confused.
I feel like I suck ass at this game and will continue to do so.

I was a big fan of Minmin during the testpunch, but I think I've settled on Ribbon Girl. Her level of air control is fucking nuts to the point that she can rush you down entirely in the air.

>>381225317
Maining /ourspringguy/, and trying to learn Minmin. I freakin suck with the chakram, how do you use them? I've been using the cracker on her dragon arm and chakram on the right to poke, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

>>381246540
this is how I felt in all the test punches but I still bought it and all of a sudden it just clicked and now I beat GP on 7 and win all the time online.

>>381247205
It's a mutation.

>>381247227
I guess I just don't see the point of playing ranked right now. There's no statistics, no cups for specific ranked levels etc. It's just very barebone and I'll wait a good bit before playing more ranked. But the lobby is great, I just wish there was an easy way to open lobbies for other people that are not your friends to join and have specific rules, like only 1vs1.

I don't usually complain about this stuff but some characters are fucking annoying as hell to fight

I cannot, CANNOT fucking hit Ribbon Girl at all

Why have people stopped playing Mechanica? I swear in the testpunch it was 50% mechanica players

Wait, is that someone playing as Max? Did he release already?

What's a good arm to compliment the Whammer? I've been using the Ramram to bait, and to have a curved punch. Double Whammer also works well against enemies that don't move much.

>>381249705
No. I think it's from the treehouse reveal.

Can you combo off the wind element? In trying to learn some combos with Kid Cobra.

I give up re: figuring out how to counter Ribbonslut on my own.

I'll take literally any tips. A Ribbon Girl with dual crackers pushed my shit in so hard I legitimately got upset

>>381249713
Chilla/Sparky if you want medium arms. Chillarang for curved punch, Revolvers if you want a multi hitter

Why would you ever use a non element punching glove over ice/electric?

>>381250103
Double Hydras work on jumpshitters. Just don't spam then or you'll get grabbed, and keep in mind they're light so you'll reload quick but they can get punched through. you can still hit them since it's a multishot though. Maybe a revolver or tribolt if they aren't completely retarded.

>>381250359

non elements are faster I think???

If he means in GP, I cheesed him using Double Whammer Mechanica. Since she can tank a hit, and her charged Whammer just pushed past all his punches.

Really, all you gotta do is push him of the ring, and attack when he jumps in. He's an idiot and will try to jump in over and over, leaving himself open for a quick 1-2

Headlok is honestly pretty easy. Twintell and Minmin are way harder because they can block in midair.

Just bring a heavy weapon and he's a free win if he doesn't bring the hammers. You just throw your punches so they connect with every fist he throws and you win. Otherwise you have to wait for him to throw all his fists from one side then get him with a curved thow so he can't delfect it with his remaining hands. Then you just techchase him down with throws till you win.

Fighting games are weird to buy at full price because its what you expect it would be. A fighting game and thats about it give or take a few extra game modes. Depends how much you like fighting games

>>381228109
I really want to know what the difference between the Buff and the Bubb are, they are both "generic boxing gloves" with no element.

Just punch constantly to counter it, it's not hard.

Is playing as Spring Man with Toasters just asking to get fucked up?

I just love playing a regular play style but rank 8 and above is eating me alive.

>>381259441
I think heavy gloves are basically required for 8 and above, but if you just unlock mummy or minmin's arms you can keep basically the same fighting style but still be able to parry.

>>381259989
What about the Bubb gloves Max uses?

>>381260029
You want heavier so you can parry basically everything the cpus can throw out.

>>381259989
>I think heavy gloves are basically required for 8 and above
why? I find them super slow

>>381252859
I want that hat

>>381260286
Because the AI doesn't know how to deal with them and wont snap their arms back to block if they think they're about to hit you.

Also being able to counter a rush with your own rush is incredibly useful.

>>381260481

FUCK OFF WE DON'T WANT TO PLAY MORE SNAKE ARENA

>>381260630
Oh fuck I thought he was talking about the story mode. Those are most of the questions I've been hearing in these threads so I just defaulted to "cheese the AI" answers without realizing there is no GP 8.

I still recommend heavy gloves though. Humans aren't much better at dealing with them than the AI and very few characters are actually fast enough to completely escape a well aimed punch. You also get guaranteed ragequits when you block their rush with your own and kill them.

>>381256885
Can you make public lobbies? Or are made up lobbies for friends only?

>>381261036
I only have trouble with good min min and occasionally master mummy players as a KC main myself. The answer is usually just to dodge and try to get close and corner them. i almost never unleash a rush if they're charged with a heavy arm unless it's a sure thing, I usually wait for them to go off and try to guard first.

>>381261624
Have you been grabchained by a MM yet?

>>381225317
I didn't even buy it and I'm disappointed, no new arms in the full release seriously?

Practice the block/parry dash. It's useful for getting counter attacks in before the enemy arms retract

REMEMBER: Take out all NINJARAS first in team games. Twintelles second.

The netcode seems okay since no one is complaining about it.

Do matches at least go by quickly?

>>381261723
at least once, min mins usually aren't that hard to beat though.

For friends and local at the moment, I wish they could add something like Sm4sh Tourney mode.

If that happened, I'd be up to organize lobbies, like I used to do with the Sm4sh /v/eekends

Why are Ninjaras so easy to bully?

>>381261976
Oh shit sorry I meant Master Mummy. He throws you pretty close to him and his throw deals a lot of damage so I'm pretty sure I've made some people fucking hate that fatso by doing that to them the instant they stand up when they have like 3 or so frames to throw out a punch to counter it. I think that's the one situation where joycons probably are way worse than normal controls.

>>381261903
Twintelles are far more annoying in my opinion, specially because most of them are just waifuturds

>>381262012
You'd think Nintendo would get it after so long. I don't care about chat, but I'd like to be able to open my own room for casual fighting, without having to worry about mini-games, Hedlok, or win-streak balancing.

>>381225956
Max Brass is playable?

>>381262804
He will be later this year

>>381262214
oh yeah. Normally he isn't that bad, but good master mummy players w/ dual megatons are the bane of my existence

>>381262882
I consider myself to be doing gods duty by making ribbon girl players feel just as shitty as they make everyone else feel.

Matches have a 99 second limit and they tend to go by quickly.

The netcode has been excellent for the most part. Everything works smoothly 99% of the time. Very rarely you'll find someone with really shitty internet that takes a bit for hits to register on or that starts teleporting around the arena.

Yes. They do a bit more damage and apparently each one has a hidden improvement such as slightly faster recovery time, more rush gauge build, etc.

Okay /v/, is this game real? Between fucking this game and the Emoji movie, I feel like a lot of popular media I see isn't real. Is this shit real? Am I being fooled? Am I crazy?

REMOVE Kid Cobra's Stage from Ranked

>>381267816
;)

Am I the only person who feels like the AI, or at least Max Brass, has way more mobility after punching than I do? No matter what Max Brass has done he is able to sidestep absolutely every I throw. I can only hit him when his AI calculates it's time to give the player an opportunity to hit him. Level 7, by the way.

>>381267384
IT ISN'T POSSIBLE ANON'S IT IS NOT POSSIBLE THIS FUCKER IS CHEATING

>>381267816
Gotcha, ARMS isn't real :^)

No but seriously. How did the electric element get through even a minute of testing? Free grab/super, no drawbacks. Why would you even use anything else?

>>381267816
Anon, are YOU real ?

>>381268554
You can't get anything off of it if you're too far away, to be fair. Still probably the best element though, other than explosion potentially

>>381268554
I'm just waiting to unlock the Thunderglove for Twintelle for a Chiller/Thunder combo.

>>381268175

Electricity and ice are the best.

Wind exists for some unknown reason. Literally why?

Too busy fapping. I'll play ARMS soon

There's not a damn thing you can do to Hedlok when he's buffed up besides run away or (maybe) rush.

>>381269337
>>381268554
>people are this dumb
Electric ARMS have shit attack power, are overall worse than the same type arms with other elements, and you can't capitalize off them if you aren't midrange or closer. Fire and Wind both hit like trucks and force knockdown, which leads to playing the oki. Wind also carries players into the corner or away from you so you get better positioning. Stun hits hard as well, and leads into combos better than elec.

>>381270071
Electric arms don't do shit damage, they just don't do additional charged damage. But if you've hit with the charge, in most ranges, on some stages, the only range you can be within, a throw is guaranteed unless you traded and got knocked down yourself. You are also completely safe on knockdown, you don't put yourself at an advantage by knocking the other person down.

>you have to hold back to angle almost every arm upward
>except birds, which you have to hold forward to angle up, holding back sends them down

why

>>381270312
>you are safe on knockdown
Not at all. You can easily get people trapped in the vortex in ARMS. It's honestly better to use anything but electricity unless your opponent is heavy (or bad) since you can't grab after a hit if they were caught in the air. Only if they were close to you and also on the ground.

I really wanted to like this game but the higher up in rank I go the more it becomes "Get a bar HP ahead of the enemy then run away the rest of the match".

I'm loving the game. As for my main, I wanted it to be Master Mummy, but I gave up. I reunited him with his family and started playing with the other guys. I like Springman, Helix, and especially Kid Cobra. I'll probably go back and forth between those three. Looking forward to trying out Max Brass, too.

you know who

Whoever said you can exploit Hedlok by hitting him when he jumps back up on the platform is a fucking liar. All he has to do is punch and he is completely immune to whatever you're going to do. Even if you have a heavy arm, if he's even half hammer, you can't do a damn fucking thing about it.
