Playing him against AI to get used to him.

I just realized you can actually control Barq to an extent. I don't know how it works exactly but I noticed if you hold down a charge, sometimes he shakes his head no as like hes not ready,

Once I figure out exactly what makes him tick Barq gonna lead me to victory

It's one those games that'd be great for $30 but is kinda a stretch at $60. There's not a ton of content outside of online battling.

>>180059698
Kinda wish some arms you can earn are ones no character has by default, would have been neat. Also does anyone know if the plus arms are usuable in ranked? If so thats pretty dumb since it'd be better to farm for plus arms. Can arms go above plus? like plus plus? If so then what is the highest they can go?

>>180061882
You can use them online. There's only 1 plus level and it just adds 10 damage/5 throw damage.

well, even though it's a small buff it seems dumb to allow that, unless the plus arms had a negative to them in which case you'd have to pick and choose which one you want depending on the advantages.

That's pretty interesting. So far I've only used Barq as a shield and charging. Can't wait to find more Barq techs so I can beat these fucking Ribbongirls.

Is there an easier way to arc your punches up and over with motion controls other than pulling the joycon up towads yourself before punching?
Also, are the only arms that can do it boxing gloves, birds, megatons, homing missiles, and the blorb?

Okay anon. Only tasteful Ribbons.

>>180063362
Okay good.

>>180062293

Playing against AI more it seems you can control when he punches.

Start charging after you throw a punch and he'll punch. It lets you get out a 1-2 with one punch or a 1-2-3 if you like to play dangerously.

If you play too defensive he won't attack for you so if you aren't actually throwing out punches he won't either.

I did notice when I tried controlling him though that after 9 seconds of not throwing a punch he threw one anyway even though I wouldn't punch first.

Which arms are top tier? Seems like arms matter more than the fighters.

>>180063362
Ribbon Girl is A++ super fun tier. I barely have time in any other character.

>>180064107
actually it's about which one synergize best with each character. Like having min min and an arm that greatly benefits from being charged or having a quick hitting arm on someone normally slow like master mummy. I don't think there will be an official consensus about whats the best until the game is out for longer. You never know, some guy may find out a really good strategy that changes everything.

Barq also punches after you throw a normal punch or when you grab.
For punching, it seems to take him about as long as it would take for your arm to extend as far as it possibly can. This appears to have an actual timer to when he does it starting from the time you start your punch.
For grabbing, he seems to do it as soon as both your arms come back regardless of distance. He also does the punch when the opponent is getting up after being thrown.

In additon, the charged follow up punch does not apply to charing from blocking. In the case of landing after a jump, you must be holding the jump button for Barq to chage. He visibly shakes when he's ready to do this attack and growls a bit. You can keep chaining ground dash charges to keep him in this state. His attack also does 70 damage instead of the usual 30.

Also, Barq will only do that 9 second (not sure if this is the right amount of time) punch one time after he he does any other follow up punch.

Maybe this point is more obvious, but Barq will move in front of Byte when he's blocking. It doesn't seem possible to get him to attack while in this position though. He'll always move a bit to the side before attacking if you do a punch from the blocking position. I have noticed Barq will duck under Byte's punches, but I don't know if this could allow him to duck under enemy punches as well.

Wait... I just started this game. People keep mentioning GP Level 4. Do you get something for completing this? Is the ending different if you beat the game past Level 1?

>game matches only me and one other guy against level 7 hedlok

Yeah ok game

>>180065084
You need to beat grand prix at level 4 to be able to play the ranked 1v1 mode

>>180065084
It's kinda like Smash Bros and some other games where you don't get to face the true final boss until you up your difficulty level.
All things considered, 4 is a pretty conservative level for this kinda thing

>>180065036
Meant this for >>180063939

Barq also seems to have some quirks related to jumping on him and how well he'll stay under Byte if at all. For example, he'll stay under Byte when high jumping as long as you hold down the jump button. If you release the jump button during a high jump, Barq will return to his usual positoin. If you just do normal jumps off of Barq by not holding down the jump button, he'll try to follow Byte but might not be able to catch up if you move too quickly. It seems possible to air dash back to Barq if you go too far while doing normal jumps off him though.

>>180065107
I believe it actually scales the health of Hedlok on how many players there are. So a two-player match would have less health than a three-player match.

Long as you could combo your super with your friend's super, things should've gone okay.

holy shit is cobra kid's stage awful

>>180065395
It's good if you can maintain control of your board. It sucks if you can't. It's just a snowball effect in the form of a snakeboard.

>>180065395
And to think we used to complain about starting at the bottom of ninja college.

>>180065287
A few more things, it's possible to jump off the springs in Spring Man and land on Barq by holding down the jump button and air dashing towards him.

Also, a small addendum about what I originally said. Barq will charge his punch afte Byte lands from an air dash if you are holding the dash button or if you are still holding the jump button from having initially done the jump. Just kind of a odd thing with how jump and air dash charging can overlap in action.

Snake boarding is fun as fuck.

>>180066296
Well I did have one thing happn on accident. I was getting hit by a rush when Barq just came and stood between us and absorbed several hits. It seemed to give me enough time to recover and move, but I wasn't prepared for that at all and didn't react appropriately. I'm not really sure what happened, but I assume Barq recovered from being knocked down and was attempting to move towards Byte. It was odd that Barq didn't fall in one hit though.

Is Springman's deflect OP?

>>180065036
Thinking about it, it didn't occur to me to test whether or not the 9(?) second punch can be done while blocking. If timed well, maybe this can let them be the only character able to get a punch out while blocking.

I'm easily the best arms player on this board

>>180067360
Sorry but that's me. I'm actually the best.

>>180067836

>>180067081
Tested this out and found a few things.
First, I measured how long it take Barq to do his automatic punch after a follow up and it seems to take about 5.5 seconds from the moment his follow up punch returns to him and he does a short recovery animation according to the in-game timer.

Second, Barq will not punch while he is in front of Byte after moving there when Byte blocks.

Third, it's possible to start blocking before Barq does his follow up punch to a normal punch but only if you're close enough to the opponent or hit a wall early.

Fourth, although Barq can't punch while standing in front of Byte while he's blocking, the 5.5 second timer doesn't necessarily go away. It stays stored at the amount of time remaining unless you block for about 4 second or more. There seems to be a bit of delay for starting the timer of the 5.5 second punch back up after blocking though.

What kind of character would you like to see added to the game in the future, /ARMS/?

Glad higher levels of ranked have people actually using the mechanics and learning to bait moves. Just wish the arm collecting wasn't so cancer or collecting coins didn't take forever.

>>180068085
A normal boxer like Lil Mac or Ippo Makunouchi

>>180068010
Just a bit of clarification. I believe the 4 seconds of blocking is continuous blocking, but it's okay to block in several smaller amounts such as 2 seconds and 2 seconds although you may need to give Barq a moment to start his invisible timer again between blocking.
Also, it may be easier to say 6 seconds from the moment Barq's punch returns to him rather than 5.5 from his punch return recovery animation. However, I think 6 seconds might be a tiny bit more than what it actually is from the moment the punch returns.

arms also counterpick other arms really heavily. IE Chakram are kinda meh but they obvious counter the slow shield arms. Likewise, the ice arms help counter fast fighters (like the Ninja that can sidestep with no real cooldown)

So a lot of arms (especially charged) let you land another hit off of a knockup (esp. in the corner), but you can't grab off of them, it just counts as 1 or 2 punches - also another charged arm-shot always seems to count as 20 damage when they're in the air -

Has anyone found a way to abuse knockups for hits more than 20 damage?

Also are there any arms that can actually tech-read an opponents getup roll? It seems you have to wait for the roll to be over for your fighter to lock back on to where the opponent is. I want to leave a fucking bomb there for them or start sending a punch early. I want that infinite shit.

Juggle hits always do 20 damage. With wind arms you can get 2 hits after the blowback. Grabs just hit for 20 damage in juggle. Rush is probably the best thing to use in a juggle opportunity.

The dragon arms are easy to hit an opponent on wakeup with, because their laser hitbox stays active for a while and you can do sweeping motions with them if you curve them mid-punch. A charged laser forces opponent to block when standing or they will get chain knockdown/frozen.

How do I git gud against fast characters?

>>180080673
Try to take not of when they attack. Most jumpers grow habbits of attacking at the same time.
Some will dash then attack, some right after the jump, it differs for each person.
Just try and look at for the exact moment they attack in mid air and then dash and attack. Mechanica's air dodge is huge to so try and jump in the air with them and dodge wide then they attack you.
Also try and look out for when they are going to land as that is a great time to throw a grab.

>>180080794

Yes, landing is definitely their weak spot

>want to punch people

Does anyone else like playing with one Joy-Con? It feels like playing Punch-Out!!

>>180081005
So one tip I think everyone should get when starting out is that throwing out one fist and then holding the other for counters is really good. You'll get a feel for aiming by throwing out lots of spacing jabs, s they'd be in real boxing.

You'll also pick up on rhythms and patterns for AI, and actual players, and it'll let you adjust by countering with the other fist. They might favor a certain side to dodge to; you can throw a second fist to catch the dash or box them in once you get it down. They might like jumping and throwing punches, so you can do a small dash to the side and then bop them. They might do the awful grab spam, so you just blow it up with the other fist and then pop them.

Also, try to keep grounded while you're learning. A lot of people like to jump around wildly. There are some characters that jumping around is good, but jumping is a really easy way to fuck yourself because you can't block and you have really predictable trajectories. You'll get picked out of the air by supers when playing against the AI a lot.

A good tip after learning the basics of the game. Is jumping into level 7 AI match with infinite Hp/time and learning how unsafe a lot of shit the you get away with against real players is. Learning what is unsafe makes punishing a lot easier.

>>180082875
>Going straight into level 7 after learning how to waggle 10 minutes ago
Might as well tell new players to go fuck themselves and stop playing

>>180081005
It might not work for everyone but I would recommend playing in the online party mode. I had the same problem as you I couldn't even beat the first level 4 ai in the grand prix. So i went and played around online for a few hours and after I was done I went and 2-0ed all the ai in lvl 4 prix. Playing against human players is going to teach you more than bashing you head against a cheating ai. Even the party games like volleyball and the target punching can help you get used to the controls.

>>180083576
I'll try this, thanks!

Do you guys think that wagglan 2-3 hours a day in ARMS may lead to positive results in your arm strength/muscle definition? My Biceps have been having that perpetual post-workout soreness since launch.

>>180084681
No. Your body just isn't used to it so it becomes sore. But any exercise is good.

I might have to try the Switch Pro Controller. I'm so bad at this game with Joy Cons it makes me want to kill myself

I'm getting progressively angrier not at the difficulty of the harder AIs but at how blatant the AI is cheating. I've seen the AI on multiple times react directly from my input and.

As in, if ninjara holds block he's gonna teleport a bunch of times in a row

>4 Master mummy's in a row on ranked, all doing double megatons
Is this a new fad or something, or do I really need to keep having to dragon beaming these fucks? I really hate playing the guard mind game with this shit.

>>180086518
The AI isn't that hard if you play defensively against them instead of offensively, even on level 7. They can punish your attacks easily, so focus on punishing them instead. Only punch with one arm at a time, and save your other arm for knocking down their attacks. Don't attack them when they have rush meter either, wait till they activate it and block it. Only use your own rush to deflect one of their attacks and punish it.

I use the level 7 CPUs as warm-up now, and don't have any problem beating them. I haven't had any moments that I would consider the AI to be cheating.

>>180087856
the AI does cheat, stop acting like they aren't

it's beatable but that doesn't mean they aren't cheating

>>180087825
That is basically all I have played since the test punch and it is full on beast mode. I have only seen maybe 1 or 2 other Mummys doing this though.

>>180087984
Attacks are not that fast in this game. It's your own fault for rushing the CPU and getting mad when they dodge or block your punches. There's people that complain the level 4 CPUs cheat, when it's really just a matter of git gud. You are going to encounter human players that predict you and react quickly too.

Why is there so manykid cobra ?

>>180088535
there's a difference between quickly and instantly

the AI objectively reads inputs. that is cheating AI. there's nothing wrong with that. it's beatable. but it's not human-like in any way and teaches you bad habits

>>180087130
God damn, I played all test punches and I did not know that. Maybe because all the shitter ninjaras just jump dash grab spammed

Will probably be available at Nintendo stores.

So why the fuck didn't we get ARMS amiibo? I mean it's good that there's no dlc bullshit but I want some fucking figures

>>180090590
I could see them waiting to see if it was actually popular after release or if it completely flops.

>>180080254
It's definitely not worth it. Wait for a sale or wait for the updates to bring a sizable amount of content.

>Keep fighting a level 5 player using dual slapamanders as level 2 until you figure out how to counter them with my go to dual Buffs
>Traded a few losses for knowledge as to how to lock that strat down
I'm finding it better to lose until I figure out a counter to an arm combo than to move on.

>>180081209
Make sure you main Ribbon Girl.

>>180090729
sounds like we won't get any then :(

>>180080254
If you only buy 2-3 games a year pass until it goes for 40 or 30. If you have 60 dollars and don't mind waiting for more content on a polished base game its pretty good. It depends on how much fun you think you'd have over a 3rd person fighting game with wagglan.

>>180090590
Hopefully we never get them. I hate amiibo.

>>180091310
Is Arms already not doing well or are you just predicting a flop?

>>180091408
Yeah but muh Min Min figure

>>180092425
True, it seems that both the professional and individual reviewers on board the rating of the game being solid but not incredibly amazing. Most of the really bad reviews boil down to the AI being hard (honestly having to beat level 4 actually is good since it prepares you for multiplayer well enough) and people being cheesy shitters online when you can easily punish grab spam by grabbing them back.

What did he mean by this?

so like...are electric arms just objectively better than everything else? if you hit a charge shot it's like 250 damage because of the free grab

fuck the car stage in the asshole

You probably should have won that, the rush somehow clipped into the car

My own seekie. I love this arm yet I hate this arm.

Thanks for the games, guys

those electric birds are dumb

Ranked mode is giving me trouble. The other player just always seems so evasive, and I can never land a hit. But their punches come so fast.

Any tips? I really wanted to get into this because of ranked mode, but I'm just completely outclassed. Are traditional controls that much better than joy cons?

>tfw sparky + megawatt mechanica
We in there boys

>>180095514
Practice a bit more on the cheaty as fuck AI

>>180095623

Maybe I should use practice mode. I need to get better at not being hit. I get hit way too often. And I need to learn how to approach the enemy better.

I win more than I lose, but damn the losses are so memorable and make me feel like shit.

Whoever it was with that honest spring man, you're really good. Same for the Mummy player.

>>180095718
The AI is a lot more punishing than players so its a good way to learn how to not expose yourself.

Sorry about that, ran out of battery. Made another if you want to join.

>>180094476
Electric is worse at anti-air, because electric arms have lowest damage and the shock effect does not apply to airborne opponents and only causes knocks down. Instead of a 70-80 damage electric punch, a 120-140 fire arm would do better. Electric is generally slower that the other types too. The other elements gain speed when charged while electric doesn't.

That's fucking annoying.

>>180097296
Depends on character pretty much. Someone like Springman should stay on the ground because you can predict when he hits the ground and can hit him but Mechanica is good in the air because you can't tell when she is going to drop down.

Are Mechanica's starting arms lackluster? They feel really underwhelming compared to most other arms, but I'm not sure if that's because they actually are or I'm just using them really poorly.

>>180097078
I'll play if you still want to.

Watching Max's stream of ARMS right now, and it's really interesting to see how everyone manages to learn the game. Even for the people who rarely play fighting games at all, they all got a hold of the mechanics pretty well and held their own at certain points, no matter what control scheme they used. It's really nice to see.

Also, Max mains Ribbon. Not surprised.

lmaoooooooo dood

Well I gave this game a solid two days and honestly I dont get that rush of adrenaline at all at any time. The combat feels weird to me, every game comes down to waiting for someone else to move and react as they do, slow arms have no place outside from the fresh from gamestop fodder and back to the control thing, motion controls to move and attack is a little messed up and constantly confused me or lead to a wrong move or attack and sometimes both.

Wonder if I can get a refund and put the money down on splatoon 2

>>180108181
Good point, I shoulda clarified.

Guy I'm talking about is Maximilian_dood. Most streamers right now seem to just play solo, which is good for Grand Prix or online, but his group of four or more showed off everything the game had to offer. Combined with demonstrating both motion controls and pro controls, even. Probably the best way to see the "party" aspect of the game if you were interested in that.

How do you get past things like double ramram combo and ramram+tribolt combo? I get little to no hits in and the only thing I have come up with so far to combat shots coming from both the side and front is to guard when they throw out. It's hard to escape when you're playing heavy like mechanica.

By the way, thanks for playing with me earlier in party mode, whoever was there.

>>180116739
just punch through the tribolt

>>180112023
Because I main Naruto

>>180116796
But what about the ramram coming from the side? And what if the straight-shot is something like a megaton or sparky?

>>180112023
But I am good with Springman, though. I beat the entire story mode, Hedlok and gimmick modes included, with dual Toasters. On level 4.

I'd say that a good starting point.

is it possible to get casuals into this game? like family members and such? it seems to me that it's hard to get others into fighting games since others don't have the game and so they can't practice while I might be playing day and night so obviously I'll be better and it'll be noo fun.

>>180118551
The casual filter is level 4 AI which makes sense as it bars you from entering ranked until you beat it. You still have local play though.

Quick copy pasta from the previous thread about snake boys mechanics
>Basically how charges work is that the half charge from both jumping and blocking give you 2 dashes each while a full charge gets you 4. Quick dashes have zero endlag, so you would be able to fully charge much quicker after one one of those. FYI sneaky snek has great airspeed but air dodge is crap. Jump and use that to start your first half charge, then qd to full charge and go off of there, throwing in half charges and full charges.
That explains his mechanics pretty good, you just go off of there. Make your subscribers proud anon.

>>180120751
Slap her shit with a well timed slapamander so it goes through once she's done with her singing.

>>180120938
im using a ramram and it gets to the point where she dodges all my attacks so fast that she doesn't have anything time to attack me

this is getting really retarded

For getting new arms should I just hold off until I get 200 for the long timer?

Really don't like B&Bs starting arms

>>180118551
Yes. My niece picked it up last night and after 3 or so hours had a 50% penalty in a party lobby. It's super easy to pick up as it focuses on aim like a shooter hybrid instead of combo string memorization.

>>180121303
Yeah its worth it.
I can get like 20 - 30 with the long timer.

>>180121303
Yes. Short timer nets you 1-3 ARMs usually whereas the long one can get you 20+ every time

Can't wait to see him get punished heavily for his strategy

>>180120751
do you know how punch upwards? if not you press down on the stick or pull them towards you if on motion, not sure about that since i'm on controller. I beat her on level 6 gp using sparky/toaster. bait her time slow thing with roast and spark on the ground for a grab or charged toast. don't be afraid to throw some punches to keep up pressure, block both arms and counter dash in
>>180120938

Well I beat my 1st Grand Prix on level 3 using Spring Man. I did okay except I hit Min-Min on level 5 and she beat the shit out of me about 5 or 6 times before I managed to win. I 2-0'd the final guy though. Mostly used double Toasters except for Twintella I used Toaster and Boomerang. She just took the Boomerang to the face over and over while floating in the air and singing.

Guys i really need you right now. I've played the first two test punches, still pretty trash although have a grip on the controls. Are people good yet, or is there still time to get a good rank if I get the game tomorrow?

>>180122843
Good job.
Now do level 4.

>>180122957
I will, but first I had to put on some deodorant.

>>180122949
People are getting better, but not at a level you can't catch up to relatively quick.

>>180122949
I haven't ranked up from rank 1 yet (although partly because I've only done three ranked matches). Rank isn't that important to me besides big reward money, really.

I beat the Lv6 Twintelle.

Not as Spring Man, but as Byte and Barq

I think I'm just bad at Spring Man

>>180123080
>wearing deodorant
fucking normie

>>180112023
Because Ribbon Girl plays Springman's game better.

>>180122949
I'd say most of them are as good as lv.2 CPUs with a handful of grabspammers. You should get it soon before they get as good as lv.7 CPUs

For what reason can you make characters scream by holding dash?

Is snek the most OP character or something? Because half of party mode is using him, including me

>>180125291
Yeah. Him and Ribbon Girl are considered cheese characters.

Party mode needs a brb function. I can't piss like this.

>>180126642
>he doesn't have a catheter
casual

okay I've been trying to beat headlock literally ALL FUCKING DAY. he's the most bullshit boss I've ever fought, and every time I get close a health thing spawns and fucking ruins me
any tips on ending my suffering?
currently using min min with zapper and seekie

What's the difference between the curving arms? Slapper, bird chakram and boomerang all seem the same to me.

The Twintelle AI is fucking obnoxious. Won't strike first, just spams her abilities and when her health is higher she just hangs back. Literally an embodiment of a shitter.

Is it just me or does Kid Cobra sometimes say "How's that?" after a grab? It's what I hear, anyway.

What's the point of stun element? Doesn't seem to do anything

>Create an element for blind
>Only give it to one arm

>>180127331
I can swear I hear him cursing. I think he speaks some kind of nonsensical jenglish so we're picking up on words which aren't there.

>>180127803
Yeah, maybe. I swear I hear some words though. And the other fighters speak actual languages so it seems like he might too.

Anybody have any tips with fighting against Hydra users as a Ribbon Girl?

>>180130440
No. Accept your defeat

>>180116739
get in their face and punch them

ramram is shit close range

Ok lets talk serious topics /arms/.

Will this game have a fighting game scene, as there will be good tournaments?

Then we have to consider how are the tournament getting run. Do we allow all arms, or just default? Logistic wise its a nightmare for organizers to unlock all arms on all copies unless Nintendo releases tournament mode.

If not, do we just force everyone to bring their own switches?

What about +arms? Are those legal?

If there are no tournament scene for arms because of above reasons, can this game last long?

>>180131257
Not sure yet how much of a scene will form, but there's definitely going to be plenty of people playing long term just for the novelty of game mechanics and controls at least. From what I'm thinking a tournament mode would limit each character to their signature ARMs.

I have a tournament coming up with the ruleset being

Default ARMs only, BO3, First stage is Springman, loser gets counterpick

It didn't mention +ARMs since you can still be using a + default arm

>>180131257
as alot of other people are going to say, most were skeptical until Mr. Yabuki showed what professional Arms looks like, I give it a few months and we got ourselves a scene

>>180131590
plz ban maps

>>180131457
Im not sure if you say the defualts are signature arms, or just devs made a bunch of arms then spread out on each char without thinking much. Plus, Helix will be downright unplayable in that setting. His defualts are shit.

>>180131663
Mr. Yabuki convinced me of super high skill ceiling as well. Hope that translate to a strong scene.

Best character in the game?

>>180131862
An alternative would be a limited roster of ARMs that are tourny legal that every character has access to.

Definitely maining RoboCop with a side of RoboPuppers after I git gud enough to beat grand prix reliably.

Any tips from fellow mains?

>>180131937

1. Ribbon Girl
2. Byte and Barq
3. Master Mummy

No mater what a scene is gonna start, even if its just a group of about 1k players online. I kinda hope they disable +arms in an update, some characters really excel when you can experiment, and its unfair when people like minmin and ribon girl get great signature arms but other characters like byte and barq get fucked. God its customs in smash 4 all over again.

>>180132057
>God its customs in smash 4 all over again.
The difference here is that custom ARMS are easy to access and clearly a core part of the game, unlike custom moves which are a pain to setup and can be entirely ignored

>>180093797
>Reviews are like golf right?

>>180131986
A limited roster would be even worse than just letting people use whatever.

You can't just think in terms of balance but in how easy it is for organizers to setup. Grinding for all 30 arms would be bad, but grinding for a specific X arms would be even worse, and you'd probably end up with all the arms anyway.
