Not really, I still play it daily

Are you really surprised? Game had no future

imbecil

Nice meme

The fastest way to check a games future potential is to look at its porn scene. For the amount of copies ARMS sold it's fucking baron. R.I.P

SOPA

The game has an extremely shitty regional matchmaking system. If you live outside of Burger Land or Japan, be prepared to play against the same 5 people all day.

You think that's bad? Wait until Splatoon 2 comes out.

>>382161509
Better than getting matched up with people halfway across the planet and seeing them teleport around the ring.

>>382161509
I'm playing against japanese and in west us

>>382162751
The regional stuff is only in ranked battles for some reason. Party room allows anyone to play with another. If you meet someone with a jap name in ranked and you live in the US, it was just a weeb who thinks jap names look cool.

It's "barren." Goddamn.

I've accepted that I'm like one of 10 people stateside who actually really loved arms, but it should have a reasonable lifetime with updates, right?

I mean, the Pokken community somehow stayed alive this entire time (tiny though it is) without very much support or people believing it at all. I just want to believe this new thing I like won't vanish forever in a year

>>382160004
Why is it that I see this thread everyday?

"So ARMS is dead already?"
"how did this game die already"
"Well this game died fast"

Is it the same person? Just because people aren't shitposting about it on /v/ doesn't mean people don't play it.

If you have a multiple threads every day talking about how quickly something was forgotten, was it really forgotten? Is this like how every Monster Hunter thread starts with people shitting on Monster Hunter?

Nigga it's been like a week.

>>382160004
/v/ doesn't discuss fighting games most of the time. The threads are usually kept alive by waifufags.

You will love the game until you get to rank 13 and up. The current meta is pure cancer and I hope the updates do something to change things.

He can't do anything on his own to change it for the better sadly.

If you have to shitpost a game is forgotten before the average two to four months, it probably isn't forgotten.

>>382160004
Even the copious amounts of nintendork shilling/ circle jerk threads couldnt save it

>>382164940

I'm not gud. What's the high level meta look like right now? Ribbon Girl, Kid Cobra, and Twintelle probably? A shitload of Hydras?

>>382165610

I'm interested in this as well, because I get ranked games so fast, I can't even start one grand prix match before I get dragged away.
Last game I played I just picked Springman vs. Ribbon Girl, and I immediately felt there was something bullshit about it because they seemed to move way too fast, effectively impossible to hit. Didn't help it was Ramen Bowl stage so you can't really aim.

I just get the feeling Splatoon will be a lot more balanced and fun because you can find your niche and play as a team. In Arms I can't even play Helix because I'm neglecting motion for traditional controls, but you can't charge your arms AND attack both left and right without grabbing or switching to the other means of charging (extend and right, or crouch and left, not vice versa because of button arrangement)

>>382160004
STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS GAME LET IT FUCKING DIE

It's just XBox fans lashing out because their new console is DOA.

Everything revolves around rush. You pick a mobile character like Ribbon Girl or Kid Cobra and select arms that charge rush super fast, like 2 Buffs/Bubbs for example. Then you spam as many punches as possible to charge your rush. Since you are a mobile character, the enemy will have a harder time punishing anything and you might even deal some damage with your punches. As soon as you have your rush charged get close to the enemy. Very important. Now you spam throws. 2 Things will happen: You will either grab the enemy and throw him or the enemy will try to dodge/punch your throw. Activate your rush if this happens and you will always hit them unless something seriously went wrong, like lag fucking you over. Now try to charge your rush as quickly as possible again and try to not get hit by the enemy rush somehow. The person who somehow misses his rush or does not connect with enough damage has pretty much lost the round unless the other guy completely chokes.

That's pretty much rank 13+ matches summed up.

>>382160796
HEEEEEY
ACÁ

>>382166693
Yeah, the awkwardness of blocking, dodge delay, and curved punch specialised arms making you super vulnerable and rooted would promote that since they give rushes the ability to deflect punches.
Literally all they had to do was make it so you need an opening to rush, like stun (that you're doing anyway) or as soon as they're launched (requiring timing to continue into juggle). Instead even using it against AI is pretty janky, it just doesn't seem very polished.

Y'know what might be really cool change to the meta?
Rush still respects arms weight classes. You can just heavy punch through a light punch rush for example.
That one's free Nintendo.

buenos dias Anon

I really enjoyed the game for about a week, but I have to agree with those now who say it is lacking in depth. It just doesn't have enough pull in the long term.

I think the biggest issue was lack of content, but even if Ninty included something like a campaign to flesh out the world, the mechanics themselves still leave a lot to be desired once you're no longer a shitter. I hope Arms evolves over time to be something great though. Just could have probably used another year or two in the oven.

>>382160004
Did ANYBODY actually expect this game to do well? It looked like shovelware maybe one tier above 1-2-Switch from from the very beginning.

This was just a shitty cashgrab with no depth or replayability whatsoever

Of course it was forgotten the second the viral marketers stopped getting paid.

is that the actual cover? total shit if so

Could be nice.

If they air dash, they don't move as much horizontally and drop, and while you can't aim horizontally or vertically well, Rush makes your arms huge so you only really need to consider horizontal. Not being able to block and needing to land to dash again makes them vulnerable.
Land dashing means they can't block and if they're not nimble they won't be fast enough to evade the rush, so most of the time it would hit unless they're also meta. But you're better blocking/rushing yourself.

>Arms is the next Splatoon, you guys!
>Splatoon still has the functions of a normal shooter only with a movement mechanic that changes the entire flow of the game. Objectives compliment this greatly, guns add so much variety that the same gun with different sub weapons can totally change how you play.
>Arms is a stripped down 3D fighter with under ten moves per character, the mechanics of attack slow the pace to a crawl. The different arms actually make the characters feel less varied because they can all use the same shit.

Dodging has no i-frames and since you are close to the enemy when using it you can hit them while they are still in the dodge animation and before they can block. They can technically dodge your rush but that would imply that you were using weapons with a slow start to their rush, which no one is doing. If you are really scared of the enemy dodging (because they are Kid Cobra for example and have perfect dodging reflexes) just wait longer before you activate your rush and keep spamming throws or punches while being close to the enemy. The other guy will eventually have no choice but to create an opening that you can use.

>>382160004
>wow, that stopped being shilled quickly post release didn't it?

ftfy

>>382167569
Sounds like it could be something easy to patch in. Maybe they could also add a little more delay between activating the rush and being able to start punching for middle weight arms too.

>>382167569
This is technically already possible. A Megaton can punch through a Popper rush for example. But pulling it of outside of party mode or lower rank is almost impossible, mostly because everyone is too close and mobile. What will almost always happen instead is either: 1. The newly activated rush cancels your already active arms and you get hit. 2. The enemy arms move faster than your heavy arm and curved around it and you get hit. 3. The enemy was in the air and had a hydra which means one of the 3 missles is still getting through because it flew above your punch.

What you can do however if the enemy has lighter arms than you is baiting the enemy into using his rush first, so that you can activate your own rush to cancel out his version. Sadly, someone with a heavy arm will almost always be slower when it comes to charging rush than someone with 2 fast medium arms.

ese pinche juego es una mierda, los controles son una pinche mierda de perro roñoso de la calle, las mecanicas estan mas rotas que la chingada, no tiene futuro como juego competitivo y espero que no venda ni una chingada, a la basura es donde pertenece.
