ARMS Testpunch

im honestly having much more fun with this that i thought i would.
whens the clown cutie? i may pick it up then.

>>388422119
No release date for Lola Pop and Version 3 yet, but I'd say two or three weeks maximum.

>>388422119
They said it's be mid-September.

>>388423927
aww really? damn that so long

>>388423968
Well, I'm not entirely sure myself but this site says they said on stream that it would be between the 11th and the 20th.

welp i guess that will give me some time at least.

I don't think I've ever been so bad at a video game.

>>388425549
cant beat difficulty 4?

>>388425638
Just in general.

>>388421727
How do I make the best use for Min-Min's kicks? I just found out it deals damage if close enough to my opponent,.

Why would i want to buy ARMS

>>388425994
It's the modern day Punch Out for today's generation of kids.

>>388425994
You might like it? Now's your chance to find out.

>>388426150
Fan of both here. It is absolutely nothing like Punch Out in any way.

>>388425994
to play a game with a non trans/furshit community

>>388425549

Dude it took like four tries before I finally beat the default baby mode difficulty, even now just one tier higher can still kick my ass 60% of the time.

>>388426150
punching and a main character with shorts doesn't mean something is like punch-out

I did the first test punch and it was really boring. I am a giant rpg fan so I gave both ARMS (don't normally play fightan games) and Splatoon 2 (don't normally play shootan games) a chance. ARMS was boring as fuck but splatoon wooed me completely and I've been playing it nonstop since release.

Holy shit Punch-Out fans are still alive? And here I thought you all died off or moved on allowing me to post dumb stuff about it and get away with it.

>>388426706
I haven't played punch-out in years but it's not hard to remember how a game where the character only has nine actions works

>>388426706
Punch-Out Wii was pretty much a perfect game, man.

>>388426698
shooters are way more casual than fightan so there ya go

>>388426698
then why did you bother asking why you should buy arms then if you dont like it? dont start with the fucking splatoon vs arms shitposting.

>>388427096
This is my favorite vidya commercial

>>388427096
damn that was a great commercial.

>>388427262

did they talk about how they are gunna integrate those events at all?

>>388428327

Can you play this with a single Joy-Con? I guess not but it won't hurt to ask.

>>388428808
Yeah, that's about the best you'll be getting with a Pro controller. Enjoy being worse because you fell for /v/'s wagglan meme.

>>388428964

>>388428964
Yes you can

>>388429117
its a fair question.

Just fought two mummies with ninjara and springman. What a fucking slaughter

>>388429159
Nice job backpedaling.

>>388429232
Not really. It's a main selling point of the system, so Nintendo not supporting it kind of out of the question.

>>388429341
You're the one who thinks being a level 6 computer in Smash is impressive. You should be bopping level 7's in ARMS no problem if you think you are any good.

Why does this shit always happen when I have to do shit?

>>388426698
Quit being a fucking loser and trying to force this Splatoon vs Arms shit. At least I won't have to deal with shitters like you in Ranked mode

>>388429487
I only got the game recently and I'm working through the GPs, point is you're backpedaling off what you said.

>>388429668
lol lvl 4 is the bare minimum gratz i guess.

>>388429504
its was happening ALL weekend.

>>388429796
why are you so buttblasted?

>>388429054

Huh, thanks, guess im going to download it now. I only played it once on a convent and the only control method was the dual joy-con, one for each punch.

>>388430686
why are you so butthurt?

I really like the character design so I want to like the game, but I am not that into fighting games. I played a few matches and I don't see myself being able to get into it. If it gets a price drop, I would be willing to play through single player.

>>388430760

Why is there so much universal hatred towards Arms? I've seen people who like Nintendo games and smashfags just bash on this game for no reason other than it's "not a traditional fighting game." It's really bizarre seeing something that was praised prior to its release immediately beaten to death by its own fans.

>>388431345
>smashfags bashing ARMS for not being a traditional fighting game
The ironing

>>388431345
Smashfags are just insecure, nothing new there. Smash 4 is getting stale and only autists play melee, its natural for them to have animosity towards Nintendo's shiny new fighter. It is weird though, especially people trying to stir up shit between ARMS and splatoon.

>>388421727
Dead game general.

>>388431345
It's the new Nintendo franchise, so it is cool on /v/ to hate it. Just like Splatoon a few years ago.

>>388431345
>>388431489

Something like 5% of the population are actually creative. You can test for this (high intelligence and openness personality trait). So, whenever someone comes out with a creative take on a genre, most people immediately shit on it, because they lack the perspective to appreciate it. It just looks like a novel, wacky thing to them at best, and at worst makes them uncomfortable and angry, because it challenges their expectations.

The online tourney was fucking great if you haven't seen it yet, looks like a completely different game than it was initially.
>https://youtu.be/egZPTd5hX7k

>>388430842
It's a fairly simple fighter. It's pretty much all fundamentals with little to no combos or hard execution.

>tfw I've spent the past couple days getting good at ARMS
I'm going to download it and slap their shit

>>388421727
WHAT THE FUCK DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET INFORMATION LIKE THIS IN TIME?

Apparently the testpunch went on all weekend and I only hear it now.

>>388432168
Fundamentals are the main thing I can't seem to do right in fighting games. Basic combos and special execution are not my problem. I am also terrible at Smash, which isn't that focused on execution at low level play.

>>388432905
Not be an ADHD nigger, and glance at the news updates on your Switch. Also, sign up for Nintendo email alerts or check in with a news source periodically. How else do you expect to find out about something like this?

i bought and sold this on release week. really dont recommend to anyone

>>388431903
*tips fedora*

>>388433076
I bought this on day 1, and think it's a very good fighting game, and recommend it to anyone who likes fighting games and understands that "fighting game doesn't just mean "Street Fighter 2 derivative."

Now that it's clear that Nintendo fully intends to support ARMS for the foreseeable future, do you think people will stop telling everyone to not buy it because dead game?

>>388433252
Align yourself with the Logos, nigger.

>>388433281
its a party game

>>388433281
it's as much of a fighter as smash

>>388433476
"Party game" and "Fighting game" aren't mutually exclusive classifications, retard.

>>388433281
>fighting game means Street fighter II derivative
This mentality pisses me off because they autistically cling to it but if you try to argue against it they always counter with shit like "If ARMS is a fighting game then Starcraft must be a fighting game too because it has characters who fight eachother!!!"

>>388433557
So it's a fighting game?

>>388433557
That's right.

>>388431345
I don't know anon kinda weird how some people are it calling dead cause of the testpunch first a few other game do stuff like this and the first splatoon did this too when it first came out.

>hydra is a light arm, that's fair
>except the only arm that can actually block it is the fucking whammer, Megaton and most other arms only block two of the hydra shots and the other still goes over and hits your face for full damage

fucking shill, no one wants to play this shitty wii sports boxing clone.

I played the testfire for several hours over the past few days, and boy, howdy, do scrubs just love to do nothing but throw. I'm getting used to dealing with them, so I guess I shouldn't complain about easy wins, but, man, does that get boring real fucking fast.

Do you'll faggots even own Neon Yellow joycon (bonus: Neon Yellow straps) to go with the game like I do?

>>388434584
I do but I don't play with motion controls.

>>388434386

Actually they nerfed that in the last patch. You can do it but there's a delay big enough for your target to block pretty much everytime. You have to be an idiot or jumping to get caught by it now and even then it flops more often then not.

>>388434584
No, I have no friends so the two joycons my grey switch came with and a pro controller is more than enough.

>>388433557
keeps up the meme ole fella.

>>388434703
That's good news, it's still been working on me though. Wish there was a way to practice it.

>>388434064
then use the mega tons. they are fucking great.

>>388434857
Are the megawatts good too? As far as I'm aware, they didn't get buffed along with the megatons.

>>388434064
Mummy should almost always have 1 megaton on either left or right arm. Parasol is a medium arm that can block hydras.

>>388434708
If you have no friends, maybe you need to make your Switch look even nicer, so you have something to be happy about.

Any Helix mains here?

>>388434956
Byte&Barq are the most honest fighters in the game.

>>388434857
Nigga I just said the megatons don't work for hydra, though I do love them against almost any other arm.
>>388434917
They did get buffed I think but they still suck dick for mummy at least, way too slow to be usable. Minmin still is the best user because her dragon arm makes it even larger than normal and capable of blocking anything short of a guardian arm.

>>388435059
I've never really understood honest in a regular fighting game, but moreso in Arms, I assumed it just meant sneaky lows that look like mids, or lows and mids that have the same start-up animation, but what does it mean in a game without l/m/h?

Not him, but you're a fucking idiot. Quit pushing that stupid narrative.

>>388421727
I played it for a good 2 and a half hours in a row using purely motion controls and my actual arms feel like they're gonna fall off.

I think I managed to get the hang of Master Mummy. He's fun to play as. Only lost a few times.

>>388436043

Costumes when?

Seriously I could see people picking the game back up just for the option of swimsuit twintelle

>>388437116
Is there really much to him, I tried him a bit, and didn't like his default arms, but all it seemed like he re-gens on block, and can take an extra hit before falling

>>388437516
hardest hitting grab in the game.
bait grabs with his healing block then grab em back.

>>388437453
There's already the re-colours with the stupid way of selecting them, I don't know how they'd fit different costumes into that though, plus that shit only seemed to work for DoA, and not SC, or any of the other fighting games

>>388437516
He's one of the more basic characters, and you definitely have to play kinda scummy to succeed with him (block and wait until you can use your armor to activate your super). That's why I've been shifting from him to Max Brass.

Why would you use Springaling over Max ass?

>>388438640
spring man has a much smaller hurt box and is faster.

>>388437453
Aside from swimsuits, what other costumes would you like to see?

Is it just me or is Mechanicas grab faster than the rest of the cast?

characters swapping themes, like everyone has an Idol costume, mummy costume, etc.

So is there a tier list for all the Arms in the game? I keep hearing people say the seekie's good, but it's not any favors for me honestly. It's only good for the damage on supers.

>>388421727
>finally get to play Twintelle
>she sucks
Goddamn it.

Someone dump some porn.

>>388441149
Seekies are good for free grabs, they have an absurdly long stun time compared to sparkies or whatever the yellow gloves are called. ARMS are good on specific characters but I think just about everyone benefits from Seekies, Parasols, and Hydras in my experience.

Spring-Man is my guy.

>>388438640
Spring Man is a better character.

>>388439347
Depends on the ARMS.

>>388441149
I was a fan of seekies on launch but now I only like them to cheese heavies.

>>388441483
twintelle is high tier u suck.

>>388442542
But shes so slow and her gear sucks

Minmin is much better

>>388437642
I was mostly going for reads. I used the retorcher and megaton combo. Using the retorcher to break grabs and megaton to cut through punches. If you can read a grab try to jump over it si you have your ARMS at your disposal.

>>388441483
Highest winrate in both the full game and testpunch. You just suck anon.

>>388442746
Gear quality is irrelevant, plus her gloves are fucking good anyway.

Was gutted i missed the first test punch and finally after playing it i bought the game and enjoyed it so far.

I cant do motion controls to save my life using the arms are fine but its moving around is horrible though so i play on handheld mode which sucks cause i feel like im missing the point of the game. Has been fun co opping with my brother but damn the campaign is brutal.

The only character i seem to be good at is minmin am i a turbo scrub (was able to beat the campaign on 7 which is nice)

>can't stop using Megaton plus Phoenix on mummy
It just feels too perfect on him.

Tried the first global test punch and it was shit due to gameplay. I'm not surprised this game sold less unit than 1-2 switch (guard on joystick press, seriously?)

Did they add button remap?
That will made me considering buying it.
Plus this and splatoon 2 dropped to 40€ on amazon

>>388447710
Wow anon, you mad? Did you lose too many times in arcade mode?

I'm not advocating her as a waifu, I'm advocating her as a cool looking new fighter, with 3 new arms and a new stage with some sick music

>>388448272
You should care, waifus are the lifeblood of a fighting game.

The aesthetics can be great, the gameplay can be solid, the gimmicks can be fresh and original.

But if there aren't cute girls to draw porn of, does the game even exist?

>>388446780
Everyone who didn't buy Arms got Splatoon 2.

Nope, i didn't bought any of those two cause arms is shit and i don't enjoy splatoon 1.5.

I bought a switch day one with zelda, finished it 100% and sold it, bought mario kart and finished it, now the switch's taking the dust waiting for mario..

>>388448371
That's cool. /v/ has just gotten to (always been at?) the point where anytime I see a female character spammed to death, I dismiss it as waifu shit and move on.

>>388448531
I know you're joking, but I don't care about fighters as a genre, I just care about fun games. In fact, the more slutty/pandering women I see, the less I assume the game has to offer outside of them.

Don't get me wrong, I like slutty women, but there's a time and a place.

What's the proper response to springmen who only know how to strafe sideways and counterattack?

>>388421727
Arms is dead and really boring.

Every character moves left and right and punches. Dats it.

What's killing you?

>>388453695
Because I'm using traditional controls, I think all my punches are whiffing. It feels like I'm getting read like a book.

>>388453964
what's your opponent doing, waiting until you punch to dodge? jumping around? approaching constantly?
playing keepaway?

>>388453964
What arms are you using? The game is serious when it says some arms are for beginners and some are for pros; there's different levels of homing to them.

>>388454264
Seems like they're constantly moving. And waiting for me to punch. They never really approach, and they only play keep away if they're going for a time-out, which is understandable.

I main Spring-Man, using his Toasters, Revolver, and Boomerang.

I ocassionally use Twintelle with her standard setup.

>>388455036
keep on the approach and try tossing test punches to see where they go, never toss out more than one punch at a time unless you can box them in

>>388453964
well this game is very read heavy.

Why is skillshot so shit bros?

>>388456068
>pick two arms that shoot 3 punches horizontally
>never lose skillshot again

>>388421727

The only ARMS thing I see is "Take a peak into the daily lives...", new ARMS character, ARMS tips, Arms v1.1, "Get Familiar with each Fighter", and anything below that looks like it's from the arms release. The ordering of articles in crap. What's new on the eshop for 8/4 is closer to the top than 8/25

>>388457547
yes its over now so it no longer there.

>>388457547
The news system is crap now. I just want to disable all news forever, not to have it pop back up whenever I play a new game or demo.
