Competitive ARMS discussion

>>385360170
is this a good game to buy to get into professional competitive gaming?

>>385360545
it just came out and there is not even a definitive meta, but it's scheduled for EVO Japan, so time will tell the games success.

Ribbon
Parasol, hydra, seekie
Mechanics
Other Ribbons
Seekie
Any standard boxing glove, dunno why
Spring stadium
Snekpark

>>385362274
I've tried using seekie but I can't get the hang of it. Any tips?

So I actually really like the game and am a Helix main, but there are some things that annoy me. Firstly, grabs seem way too damn safe. If anyone can correct me on this one, I'm all ears. I have been having so many instances where I will side dodge a grab well in advance, go to punch, only to have the opponent have their arms retracted in time to defend themselves again. Is this just lag or do i need to have some hardcore reactions to even do this?

Also, levels with places where you can jump around and bounce upwards is too advantageous to more agile and mobile characters. Mostly Ribbon girl. Had a dude who was just double jumping off the springboards and now matter the set up, I just could get him up there. Very annoying.

I play Twintelle punishment style and I manage to punish grabs 9 times out of 10.
Instead of punching, try to side dodge and then grab them, since grabs seem to go faster. If you want to play punishment then make sure you keep personal and in their face about it. Instead of dodging, also consider sending out a one arm punch to deflect the grab and then sending out your other for a hit.

>>385362545
When you are facing your opponent directly, throw the seekie to the right if its in the right arm or to the left if it is in the left arm. If you do that, the seekie will curve into the opponent, allowing it to evade incoming punches that could block it. But you have to make sure your not so far away that the opponent will see it coming or to clase to be hit by the explosion radius.

Tbh that'll probably make it the best game to enter in with. It's brand new, not too many hurdles to jump through to get into it and understand it.

>>385363724
What's your playstyle and loadout like? I can offer better suggestions.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see this thread pick up traction, so I guess I'll answer my own questions.

Bubb/Ramram/???(Hydra by default, been testing different stuff though)
>>best matchup
Probably MinMin or any of the bulky characters, not that I ever see them.

Bubb, just feels natural, not a lot of bells and whistles to worry about
>>least favorite glove to play against
Tribolts can be pretty brutal, closely followed by heavies/whips as stated above
>>favorite stage
Sky Arena. Should be the default stage for competitive since it doesn't have any abusable features
>>worst stage

>>385363786
I try to be more defensive and counter instead of more offensive strategies. I've had success with the blorbs and ice dragon. I like baiting an opponent to dodge the dragon and then use the other arm to hit in that direction. On the third slot, I rotate between popper, hydra, and thunderbird. Biggest thing I notice is that I save my rush attack way too fucking often. Often times, I'l have an opponent down to 1/4 of life left and figure it'd be best to save it for next round.

More Twintelle please.

>>385364397
It's good to wait to save a rush attack because it makes the opponent have to play more carefully. I never rush unless I'm almost guaranteed a hit. I like to bait out rushes while shielding and activate my rush into them, or shock them with thunderbirds first. Coming using the ice dragon while the opponent is blinded and then rushing. I don't recommend rushing while blind since most opponents will see through that; people typically start dodging as they expect a grab.
As far as defence goes, if you intend to punish for mistakes, make sure that you stick as close to them as possible if you want. I never ever punch first, so I understand about countering, but if you play defensive via keep-away, it's difficult to punish for grabs as your opponents can see it coming. It also helps to be aware of what arms they're using and how long their arms take to be ready to block.

>>385364397
not that anon but I can tell you that the only time to be conservative with your rush is when the timer is close to done and your rush doesn't look like it can KO. Maybe be cautious with Max brass in spring so you don't inadvertently give them perma charge, but other than those scenarios rush whenever you have a sure thing.

Why didn't ARMS get amiibo? I mean no DLC bullshit is good, but I would've liked figures

>>385365060
Probably would've been hard considering the character designs are all both rather detailed and have ridiculous coiled arms, would've been a bitch to make and they'd have to make one for every character whereas with splatoon they can get away with making a couple generic player characters, a squid and the squid sisters

>>385365060
Because the only time the "Neo-Mario Kart" team used amiibo was in MK8 and it was probably done only because they just came out and they needed games to be used in. On the other side, the Animal Crossing team have used amiibo in AC Amiibo Festival, Happy Home designer, New Leaf, Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

Based Yabuki for not putting In-Disk DLC

>>385365732
Isn't this a good thing that the meta is building itself instead of relying on a previous game's guestimations?

Keeps competition fresh at least until established meta is determined.

>>385365525
Well if you look at the size of the gloves, you can get a good indicator of which arms are faster than others.

does master mummy not flinch from anything? do this mean he cannot be stopped when doing a rush attack unless only grabbed? was playing one yesterday and read his rush attack with his megatons and figured I had enough time to punish. hit him but it didn't do shit.

>>385365897
I just want to know a good set so I can learn to use it. When you go in blind it's hard to know whether you lost just because you're a shitter or if you just picked the wrong set of arms.

>>385365554
Try to add pressure to Spring Man with Guardian pushed out halfway.
You may be able to get Springmen to take the guardian bait and hit em with your other arm.

>>385366014
isn't that part of "super armor?" have you tried hitting with a charged shot?

>>385366052
I suppose but isn't there fun in also learning that stuff yourself to build knowledge of the different strengths and weaknesses of each arm when compared to another arm?

That don't help too much though, for example, I'm pretty sure that Roaster are slower than Toaster, because of the build-in of the Parasol is slower than gloves ARM's, and what is faster, RamRam or Coolerang? Etc etc

>>385366146
not sure. didn't have a chance to play him again. he left right after the match. sucks too cause he was the only master mummy I played in ranked since launch.

I actually would do that for this game if I had some way of record material

I might give it another go again. I played it for a couple days, and then got kinda frustrated. Mainly with moving around and getting my punches to land where they need to.

>>385367084
>Mainly with moving around and getting my punches to land where they need to.

I'm hovering around rank 14-15 and I still have trouble with this. My punch accuracy is like 33% and as far as movement I'm still trying to get out of the habit of jumping around since I've heard a lot about how being in the air is where you're most vulnerable, but I'm a kid cobra main and my movement options are limited unless I'm charged and jumping is the easiest way to enable that.

Where you nigs at?

Currently rank 8, not very good but I'm at the point where if I lose I at least put up a fight.

Which character do you guys think is gonna get the nendroid?

All big Nintendo franchises get them.

>>385367525
Well, a lot of punches miss because enemies doesn't really stand still.
target practice is the best way to learn to curve punches.
Aim to have a full score at every round in order to get better aka punch all targets at the same time.
>>385367632
12, mostly because I don't play much.

Anyone here have any actual success on higher ranks with motion controls? I tried my damn best to do it, but used the regular controller method just to see and never looked back. It's obviously great you can curve punches and do wider grabs more easily with motion, but it feels like your movement capabilities go down the drain. With the regular control method, moving feels way way more natural and fluid. I'm currently sitting at rank 14.

>>385368501
>but it feels like your movement capabilities go down the drain
How?
its still the same movement option.
You just need to get accustomed to it.
The biggest diference is that you can throw one punch and curve it in one direction WHILW moving in another.
With traditional control you're forced to go on the same direction you are curving you punch, so you get really predictable.
Most players use trad. so its really easy to anticipate their movement.
That allowed a trash tier char like mummy to help me reach rank 12 with an 80% win ratiothen i went to friendly matches ans only spammed retarded builds with random charsand dropped to 70

>>385367771
Easily Spring Man. If the Twintelle Ass meme goes far enough, maybe her? I'd bet on Ribbon Girl getting the figure before her though

I would literally suck Yabuki's cock for ranked 2v2, where you could take someone from your friend list and partner up with them.

Playstation All-Stars did this and it was the funnest shit. I'm aware that I'm probably the only one who likes 2v2 though.

>>385369468
With default you kill some characters, with custom you get OP combinations.

Custom with ban list.

>>385369626

I hear the argument for defaults but I feel defaults just leave too many characters under utilized as is. Since Sol won 2GGC just about everyone and their mother wants to run springman. I don't see how that's different then double bubb being popular and if I had to choose I'd at least like the variety of sets from customs even if certain sets prove to be used way more often than others. It just seems like an entire part of the entire meta will be underutilized and overlooked with defaults only and tournaments will quickly go stale.

I bought this game but I don't really like it, haven't touched it since Splatoon 2 came out

>>385370165
remember that without the dragon arm youre essentially just spring man, and use this to your advantage. a good strategy i find with her is to go for a charge to bait the enemy into hitting you, then jumping out of it and hitting them. another good one is to hold off on your left arm since usually a charged weapon will knock over an enemy, so with your left youll want something that doesnt knock them over. im pretty sure a charged chakram wont do it, although im not too sure. also, go into single player versus and practice your dodgeblocks, its a really underrated tool that min min has. just set the opponent to level 5 and health to inifinite and try it out. i havent been able to get it down but mainly because i havent played min min in a while. im not great at arms but i hope my advice helped

What, are you just playing single-player?

It's a good way to get practice if you're fighting level 3 and up computers in the Arcade Mode.

However, much of the fun will be found in Party Mode or Ranked Mode (only playable after beating at least level 4 Arcade mode to prove you're good enough to at least get by).

I think I may start playing a few matches against high level computers to wind down. the motion controls are fun, I guess I just got it when worked ramped up and it just didn't feel right

You could also opt for a more classical control scheme if you throw the joycons into the shell or have a pro controller.

That's how I play and it fits like a glove, using L and R buttons to swing arms, pressing y to dash, x to jump and clicking in the stick to guard.

sorry I'm being such a scrub rn

>>385377621
We had close matches. You're no scrub. If you want we could do party mode together.

>>385378129
I appreciate it, but half of them weren't close, you bodied me dude. Any tips on how to improve my game?

Definitely play more aggressive. KC's ground dashes are good for aggressive play. Don't play the long range game with RG, that's where she excels.

>>385378521
sorry if I sound retarded, but how exactly do you play aggressive? Does that just mean get close and wail on you?

>>385378790
Yes, close the distance. Especially with hydras it's a pain for RG.

thanks for the advice. I'm done for tonight, but hopefully we can do more lobbies with more players when the /vg/ threads get going again

I haven't played a whole lot but I like Master Mummy. are you basically kind of fucked if you can't play tilt control mode though? I feel like the standard controller format is a little clunky but punching for any period of time is tiring

I kind of doubt it but that would be nice.

A lot of the current top players use standard controls. It's not like Splatoon where not using motion gimps you hugely.

>>385376613

Also I'd say find a group to play with. If you just play on your own with no one to talk about your frustrations with you'll quickly never want to play again. Especially considering fighting games, the albeit small ARMS community is full of pretty cool folks who have all been there with how ridiculously demanding this game can be and will make playing and getting better more fun.

The game had a funny way of weeding toxic people out with it's difficulty curve.

ARMS stream Kid Cobra players vs Byte and Barq players if anyone is interested

jay_nite on twitch

the announcer is kinda lame though

>>385379514
I only use motion controls but I haven't touched ranked yet, I can do level 5 with all characters though. Standard controls feel awkward as fuck to me.

>>385381148
yeah the CPU fucks me up bad, also I end up sore as fuck the next day if I play too much

>>385381220
That goes away with exercise and repetition but I definitely had some sore arms when I first got the game.

>>385381393
Oh I know it's an exercise thing as I go to the gym fairly regularly but really unless you actively train for boxing it's going to be rough

Even the non general thread dies.

>>385360170
>competitive arms

smash fags need to leave and go back to their party game

Does anyone else feel like the game would be more interesting if punches were shorter-ranged in general, and characters had different ranges? Then you could play footsies at the edge of your opponent's range.

>>385384034
I feel like I want my girl Ribbon in Sma5h

>>385384034

I'm not sure if that'd be more interesting for the whole game, but that could be fun for a party mode

That's honestly not a bad idea but I think the general range is fine as is except for stages like cinema deux.

>>385385774

I think if ARM speeds were more apparent it'd be fine. and not just speed in attack but in retraction as well. I know the plus ARMS can make some ARMS retract faster but it seems so many of them do at a similar pace it's not as pronounced an spect of the game

>>385379060
I can't believe anyone seriously believes this game will have any comp scene at all. Probably the same people that think SB is a fighting game.

Yes, I do own the game, it is fun but it will never be an e-sport.
