ARMS is good.

I'm probably not the only one who feels like this: I felt like I had to decide between sinking the next months until Mario into ARMS or Splatoon and since I doubt Splatoon can compete with Team Fortress 2 which I'm still playing from time to time and I really don't want to play shooters with anything but mouse/keyboard, I decided for ARMS.

You can enjoy the art anyway.

I already play GG and Tekken, so I feel no need to play "this is kind of like a fighting game, but easy for people who are too shit / lazy to learn fighting games."

It just doesn't interest me at all.

I feel like I would enjoy this game for the same reason I love the combat in Skyward Sword. That in-depth motion control stuff feels really nice when you get good at it... I might just get this game.

Only going by the trailers and videos of the game I've seen, the visuals are nice but it looks like the most sluggish arena fighter I've ever seen. Just watching it makes me wish Virtual On would make a comeback or something. Obviously appearances aren't everything but it doesn't look fun enough for me to even want to try it.

>>382441914
I got about a week after lauch and I'm enjoying it. Your right about the AI forcing you to be very defensive (I'm pretty sure they read your imputs) , but I find that doesn't work too well real players.

Op, I think the game is great. I've used it as a showcase when people ask about the switch. I don't know what kind of game the defensive people are playing because I think it's particularly easy to open someone up compared to a more traditional fightan. This isn't meant to scratch the same itch as a SF, Tekken or GG. I feel this is the party fighting game that nintendo thinks smash bros is

MinMin best girl

Who made this game? Was it the Mario kart team? Splatoon was by the animal crossing team, yeah?

>>382444093
Yeah woof is a cool guy. I follow him on Twitter and tumblr. They were the lead artist in this game Blue Revolver on steam rn. Same sort of bright colors. I like him and the game enough to shill for it

>>382443903
Revolves around dual hydras or other fast arms. Strategy is basically to build up rush extremely quickly because rush is stupidly broken.

You meant to say "like in fighting games"

Be careful next time.

>>382441914
For me the biggest thing is the lack of content.
Even less then I thought there'd be, as I didn't realize in the testpunch that all those spaces on the ARMS screen were different element palette swaps of the same arms.
Too few characters, too few weapons, too few maps. And a 'I just want to play for fun, but I also just want straight up fights without these volleyball/boss/skillshot rounds' option would be nice as well.

>>382442380
But those games aren't comparable with ARMS at all?

ARMS is more comparable with a Team Fortress 2 soldier 1 vs. 1 than with Tekken.

And Tekken is fucking autistic, boring shit.

God, am I thankful for some fresh ideas in this genre.

>>382441914
Because it's a barbones fighting game but this one lack depth.

Can't confirm.

That's always the case. Which is funny because people complained the game is too defensive. Truth is you are punished for playing too defensively. This is what makes the game interesting. Also items but you don't have those in ranks. If those things weren't there and rush wasn't so strong, then you'd have the defensive cancer everyone was whining about.

>>382445510
No, your 1 iframe connecting 2D sidescrollers aren't fighting games, they're rhythm games.

Even Smash is more of a fighting game, it grants you full control, air-game, you can walk backwards, run past enemies etc.

>>382444307

>>382441914
Arms is lacking content man rank 15 is the highest you will ever go and there are no incentives to keep playing. It will die when Splatoon 2 comes out.

It's crazy that there's no option to create open lobbies for everyone to join. If there were 1vs1 exclusive party lobbies it would be so much nicer.

It's still stupid that when you have rush you can go up to someones face doing the dumbest shit and if they try to punish you just pop the rush and get 300+ damage. I like defensive play

There are plenty of unconventional fighters around, the genre isn't as stagnant as you and the rest of /v/ pretend it is. Plenty of people are looking forward to a different arena fighter that comes out later this year even (later this month for nips/importers I guess)

Are you implying you can't walk backwards in arms? Are you implying there is no air mobility when the entire cast has at least one air dash and 4/10 have some sort of hovering mechanic?

Only literal retards who are too dumb or poor to build a PC.

There is Team Fortress 2 and let's not kid ourselves, even Overwatch is better than this shit.

>Afterwards, there's connection issues out the ass, everyone is using the same ARMS, and everyone is playing as Kid Cobra, Min Min, or Ribbon Girl

The game is only fun when there's variety, and the online community for it seems to hate the idea of variety. They'd all just rather play Kid Cobra with double Hydras all day.

I'm not saying this because I'm "bad at the game" (they're actually easy to counter), I'm saying it because it's boring as fuck.

Oh yeah, let's not forget about how the Party Mode is just ass in general. I swear it seems to favor the worst game modes (3 player FFA, 2v2). There's not one lobby that I join where I'm not immediately thrown into a 3 player FFA.

I'll probably jump back on for a bit after Max Brass comes out. Until then, I think I'll just stick with Mario Kart.

>>382446883
You're not "defending" shit, you're being a whiny autist complaining about an issue that doesn't exist.

Whipped contrarian fucks like you and all those people in those near-daily "How can we save fighting games :D" threads are the only ones who insist that the genre is dead and bad, despite getting a constant stream of new and different games both traditional and unconventional all the fucking time nowadays.

>>382446679
>>shooters

Gyro controls are actually the best thing to happen to console shooters.

>>382446679
>There is Team Fortress 2
People still play that bloated mess of a game? Last time I played it was in like 2012, and I thought it was going to shit then. Just look at how much of a mess it is now.

Also, Overwatch is shit. Pretty much everyone on this board agrees, and pretty much everyone who isn't a massive Blizzard fanboy agrees. The only reason why /v/ even brings it up anymore is because of porn.

Splatoon at least has some depth to its gameplay. And great porn, especially of the Squid Sisters.

>>382446093
Yep. Another nice one would be dedicated 2v2 rooms. If my GF and I plug in both controllers, we're doing it because we want to play a couple rounds against another team of two together, not so it can kick one of us out to watch the other play constantly. Hell, half the time it will put us in 2v2 matches but pair one of us up with some random and kick the other.

>>382446679
Kek so why the fuck are you playing arms then?

>>382447437
Yes, I'm defending ARMS and Smash because I'm tired of the same old fighting game formula and you retarded apologists. ARMS dosen't want me to learn inside out any shitty combos like some shitty rhythm game, it doesn't want me to perfectly time everything which isn't fun and it allows me full control of another dimension that again allows me to break free from that archaic equalizer that limits personal skill and swankiness. Not saying one is factually better than the other but one is definitely more fresh and I enjoy this.

>>382447890
>Splatoon at least has some depth to its gameplay.
Compared to Team Fortress?

God, no. And as much as I hate Overwatch, it's still more fun than Splatoon with its diverse cast with characters that all play completely different, emphasis on team work and MOBA elements. Also mouse controls instead of waggling.

And you play the "badass" ninja instead of some deformed, pedo-pandering squids.

>>382448143
It's fun and fresh. Rewards insight into human nature and predicting what your enemy does without too much gimmicky and annoying shit around it (long autismo combos, 1 iframe shit, 500 different abilities you have to get used to first).

>>382448318
