/ARMS/ arms general

There's a Switch system update out

From the previous thread
>>180230562
Aim where you know the punch is going to go mostly if they're a noob Ninjara. Most people just teleport in the direction they were already going in. I just punch one at him when he's in the air at where he is to make him teleport and a moment later punch where he's going to show up.

Honna ask again in this thread. does anyone have any tips with dealing with vanilla arm types (toaster etc) at high levels (rank 8 going on 9 here)? I got absolutely wrecked by a Kid Cobra and Byte & Barq using them and it was the first time I felt so defeated and baffled that I couldn't counter something.

Do we have a tier list yet?

>>180230957
Stay far away from vanilla weapon users as vanilla weapons are designed for closer ranged aggression. It's the hyper defensive ones that I have problems with using dual buffs.

Have you tried curving weapons?

Not sure how Nintendo usually does DLC but they could make a fortune off this game with skins. Really surprised they didn't release amiibos with it.

welp, game's already dead

They could make a fortune off Amiibos too if they made 10 of the main characters and sold them for 13-14 dollars each.

>>180231098
>>180231056
I use Minmin typically with RamRam and popper. They recover so fast that they can just dodge the curved hit and popper loses to the punches. I think i'll add Dragon to the mix and try out being super defensive. Thanks.

How many mains do you guys have so far? I have 3.
Ribbon Girl, Byte and Barq, and Twintelle. Now if only they let me get the arms I want instead of duplicates..

Could be worse, you could be in dual slapamander ribbon girl hell

>>180235920

That's hardly different than dual slapamander Kid Cobra hell.

Is it possible to read and punish a wake up roll if you're fast enough?

Mechanica seems a lot more vulnerable to electricity than any other character due to how her hover causes her to just drop down with her arms disabled when hit with it rather than get knocked to the ground.
Are there any other characters that have a weakness to a specific element aside from Mechanica?

>>180236197
I've had the AI do it to me on level 6 or 7. You would need to work out distance and arm speed though because they're usually followed by another dash.

ARMS Icons for the Switch profiles when?

Should I save all my coins until I reach 200 to unlock more arms?

>>180231319

Have you tried the Megaton? It should go right through them, and it's easier to land than the Megawatt

>>180237282
I can't resist once I get 100 coins. Medium gives enough time to get 10-12 arms.

>>180236492
Its just Mechanica and Master Mummy that electric and ice effects apply to them when jumping, because their super armor prevents them from getting knocked down. Max Brass to when he swells up.

ideas to discourage the turtling strategy and speed up games:

whiffed grabs should have way longer recovery

character turning speeds need to be increased dramatically

wait is this serious
because after years of shooters on console no one has this issue

>>180251614
In shooters you do smooth, precise movements though

Fuck it, I cannot get into this game with 3 days of trying

>movement motion controls attached to the attack motion controls
I cant fucking get into this, I am unable to reset my hands into the default ARMS position after every punch due to how unnatural this shit feels. If I am at a small tilt and want to punch curve punch I end up blocking. and if I punch and end up moving my offhand forward just a little fucking bit I end up going for a grab and leaving myself open. or worse yet, the controllers think I want to grab but my entire body moved forward an inch

>online battles
slow weapons are useless as fuck, everyone online has fast weapons only
Blocking is useless and gets ya KOed

Is there something I am missing or do I really suck? Because I am about to go back and get a refund and put the money down on Spla2n

>>180251739
don't use motion controls

>>180251730
you click in for sprint

>>180251739
Blocking isn't useless, but you shouldn't just hold block, unless you can't get away from a rush attack in time or maybe you're trying to bait out an attack that you can punch through.
You have a small window after a successful block to do a dash, and your arms should be charged for a quick counter punch while you dash.

>>180251739

Maybe try the other controls, or just man up and get used to the motion controls.
Guarding is definitely not useless.
Do you understand the basics of gameplay yet?

>>180249529
>Master Mummy
Nobody knows how to play him yet is the only problem he has.

How does anyone have trouble with Twintelle's stage? It's fucking great. I always use that shit to my advantage. Glad to know you're a shitter though.

I think I might be ready to graduate from double Toasters. What do you guys suggest I should hop to, assuming I can unlock them immediately? I tried out the ARMS Test mode and from what I tested, I liked the Poppers/Crackers, the Homies/Seekies, and the Buffs/Bubbs. Curving fists like the Chakrams and Boomerangs just seem a bit off for me, maybe because I tried to control them a bit too much.

>>180255747
Homie types take a bit to get use to and are only really good charged but if you can master them then they can be a force to be reckoned with their explosions but can backfire. Curved types you just shoot them and let them go which I like and hit in very unique angles.

>>180255747
I've found the cracker to be very effective if you are good at fighting at close range and keeping pressure on your opponent.

How the fuck do you hit with those stupid birds?

>>180257062
People utilize timeouts a bit more for sure but I wouldn't call it a fest. When people start to use mechanics to the fullest, its gonna get harder and harder to hit people so every inch you can get counts.

>lets do master mummy rank 4
>wow, this is really hard
>get to hedlok

So that's basically it for me. I'm getting to the point where I won't even try mechanica's rank 4 because this boss is unbeatable. It's not even fun and there's no strategy, if you're not kid cobra or any of the fast ones he can just fill a 45 degree cone with fists and you get fucked in the ass. 2/10 worst mode in the game

>>180259664

You need to cheese him, son. It's the only way. He is weak to throws and you have a huge advantage if you fight him long distance.

>>180259885

He is NOT fucking weak to throws. He dodges constantly, and has a FUCK TON of i-frames. The amount of throws that have bounced off his chest DO NOT FUCKING LIE

>>180259664

I just beat him by spamming tribolts.

who the fuck thought this was a good idea? They're retarded, should be fired,

>>180257443
You have to utilize blocking and guard cancels more and get up close since thats where they are weak. They are fairly punishable but excel in long range fights which can be a hassle.

man fuck ribbon girl's stage, everytime I try to short hop there's a goddamn platform out of nowhere and I get slid right back to where I was and I get hit.

>>180259664

>Get analy ass blasted when I lose

I can't do this. I'm just not a fighting game person.

>>180259664
Yo he's tough but you can do it. Just be constantly aggressive and take the center high ground. Hold your rush until he tries to jump back up on the center platform, then let him have it. I found grabbing to be bad vs him since he has so many arms to block it with. I also found that choosing some basic arms and spamming punches at him constantly unless you need to dodge was pretty good, since his ai stops punching occasionally and you'll get hits in

>>180267063
Then improve yourself or leave.

No one who's good at fighting games is born that way and never improving is a sure-fire way to become even worse.

Bad habits are the number one issue with bad players and unless you try to improve yourself you will never enjoy fighting games.

>>180267426
I am getting better but I never have more fun.
Even the smallest of loses gets me frustrated, to the point where the next few wins don't even feel good. I want to have fun but all I feel is salt and bitterness. How do I stop being such a winey baby sore loser and have fun again?

>>180267582
Treat your defeats as lessons. You know exactly where you lost each round.

>>180267582
Then just analyze your losses and figure out what you did wrong.

If you are having trouble doing that, go do some research and figure it out then. If a loss is just a loss to you, then you won't get better because you'll never learn from better players.

He seems to have Springman's uncharge deflection as well as being able to turn into a heavy fighter when being fully charged. That just seems crazy strong.

>>180269143
But who's honestly good at timing Spring man's deflection?

>>180269658
Just charging and throwing it out is enough in most cases. It basically acts like a shield when you charge.

>>180252254
Sit in shield and have godly reaction times.

I think a good strategy with Master Mummy would be to have a Megaton on the right for blocking punches and grabs and have an electric arm on the left to stun so I can safely go for a solid 200-damage grab.
R8 it and give advice

>>180255747
Homies/seekies are great for wakeup pressure and shield pressure.

>>180270143
Might be also good to make sure your left arm is fast. Maybe an electric bird. But sacrificing an elec. for good speed might be good to. Maybe a Toaster so you can keep knocking people down, its not much damage but its a lot more safer then a grab, and because your always blocking you'll always have charge.
But yeah having a megaton is a must, I haven't tried with the electric equivalent though. Being a MM pretty much makes everyone think they can grab you.
The only problem I have with MM now is people using wide arching arms or that are to mobile in air to try and stop their grabs.

>>180270413
Megawatt seems also like a good choice as it looks like it could serve both purposes as Defense and can make an opening for a grab, but to quickly stun them is what I'm looking for here. Never seen double Megawatts on MM yet and I'm curious how that would go.

I'm okay with losing a match in ranked, but if you only win because of a time out you can bet i'm re matching. Honestly though timer on ranked makes no sense since some one can just run away to win by time out.

>>180271093
I'd rather go out with a fight than dodge around and win by time out. Makes you look like a wimp if you do it

>>180241818
Characters without armor receive 5 chip damage guarding any attack, 10 from charged attacks, 5 from rush attacks remain. Characters with armor have guards function as is.

Where are all the GOOD ranked players, I've been playing shitty ninjaras who run away to climb the ranks. Like shit don't play a mode meant to assess how good you are at fighting if you're going to run.

>>180272345
Ranked hasn't been out long enough to show the shitters their place yet.

Do seekies have two elements? I thought they were electric, but they also explode like a homie. Why is this allowed?

How... do you charge your punches, exactly? The game says the L button, but that just jumps. And I can't hold it without jumping.

>25% Health handicap
I understand the game's trying to help out people in the lobby who aren't as good as me but that's like 2-3 punches. It's especially shit to have that when you're fighting hedlok.

Anyone have any tips for getting good? I can't beat the 6 and 7 computers because they either plan their punches well with their armor or dodge everything I have, no matter the situation it seems they can dodge my punches.

>>180277870
holding dash or block charges your punches

>>180277870
From what I've seen, holding jump/dash/shield will all charge your fists. The charge occurs afterwards in the case of dash or jump, so they'll charge near the end/after the animation ends if you keep holding the button.

>>180277459
The explosion is electricity. If the seekie and the explosion hit it's a knockdown, if it's just the explosion it's a a stun. They're very good for long range but you need a side arm to deal with people getting close.

>>180281127
Honestly the newer BotW Amiibos were made very well so I think Nintendo is interested in providing official figures. They're just very conservative in their production habits only churning out what they know is popular. That's the reason why Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey, games with a polished and known formula are getting Amiibos out of the gate. I could see ARMS Amiibos in early 2018 if the game sells well enough.

WHO IN GODS NAME THOUGHT FRIENDLY FIRE WAS A GOOD IDEA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>180270143
>>180270413
First arm I got for Mummy was Sparky, and that is my go to combo. Megaton on left, Sparky on right.

I think the issue I have with Megawatt vs. Megaton is that, while the weight lets it blast through other arms, it doesn't increase in size like the Megaton does. Unless they have curving arms, it is really difficult to get past a charged Megaton.

A Thunderbird might work better than a Sparky but as a medium glove you can trade better with it IMO. Really depends on if you want the curving vs the weight, I'll get back on that once I unlock the Thunderbird.

When will we get a balance patch? Min Min and Ninjara need a huge nerf.

How are Min Min and Ninjara giving you trouble well enough more than the rest?

How do I get good with curve arms? They miss 80% of the time.

>>180282802
The curve vs weight depends on how fast I could punch out of shield because something I learned in ARMS is that if your character has special abilities (E.G Master Mummy's heal during shield) then abuse the hell out of them.

>>180282802
And to actually answer the question of curve vs weight, I'll go with curve ASAP so that when a charged Megaton is coming for someone, my Thunderbird can sneak up on them, leave them stunned, and then go for an assured grab

What are some good medium level techniques to practice? Advice on block-countering?

>>180285272
I'll chip in with what advice I can think of.

It's a great idea to have synergy with your ARMS and develop a strategy based around your combo and character's abilites so that you can gain maximize what you can do.

Remember, ARMS are not just things you swing, they're tools to consider and use accordingly

>>180283862
Prediction.

So on MinMin's stage, do you want to be in the bottom of the bowl or outside of the bowl

>>180286551
It'd probably be best to stay outside so you have a height advantage but there are probably other factors that I'm not aware of.

>>180286551
Like every map you never want to be below your opponent.

So let me get this straight: there are people who bought this game and don't play as Twintelle? Like, they think there is another reason to even acknowledge this game's existence besides the hot ojou with the big ass in tight pants?

Looks to be the obligatory high skill ceiling character. If any of us ever see gif related performed by a human being, they have truly mastered this fighter

>>180285272

Avoid holding block. Think of it as a sort of parry. Also, just because you get a block-counter doesn't mean RUSH in. It's best for little taps unless you KNOW you can follow up with a 1-2 punch.

Furthermore. While charging your punches is good, if you charge your punches every time you get slow and predictable. Normal punches keep your opponents guessing and do the little bits of damage necessary to turn the match around. Spring-Men seem especially addicted to constantly trying to charge their arms due to their boi-oi-oing wave counter thing.

In short: Learn to block skillfully and with no wasted time, and don't be a moron and only punch when you're charged, and you'll definitely start climbing faster.

>>180290838

This. Also normal punches can be thrown almost anywhere. If you're a slut for charged arms people (at least at early stages) tend to fall into a very predictable movement pattern. Especially Spring Man's dash-charge-counter dash-charge-counter shit.

>>180290768

Who are the highest skill-ceiling characters?

Helix, Byte & Bark, and maybe Spring-Man or Mechanica?

>>180278992

You can aim and curve them, very hard, in any direction. They're the most versatile in terms of possible angles they can hit on their own. It's a matter of learning how to do it, but once you've gotten good with Thunderbird I garauntee you'll be in love and see rage quitting Ninjaras everywhere.

>>180291269
Helix, Kid Cobra, Ribbon Girl, Spring Man/Min-Min who have mastered reflect.

>>180290768
If I saw someone do that I think I'd throw the game for them out of respect if they weren't already dominating me.

>>180291269
Idk if Springman or Mechanica are intended to have high skill ceilings. It's a tad too early to be pondering over stuff like this before we have credible tier-lists.

>>180288769
I wouldn't even say Mummy is strictly that bad. I find myself being fairly successful with him.

I think the major issue is that he is so slow and a big target, but doesn't technically make up for that with damage. All arms deal the same damage regardless of character. His throw is the most damaging in the game but that is only by 50/40/30 damage depending on the character.

He also has the same amount of health as every other character, this only being made up for by the fact that he has armor when he is acting and that he has a dinky little heal. Mechanica moves faster and has that aerial presence that half the cast has, and also has the armor.

The way I see it, either give Mummy an actual damage increase, or give him more health. Anything else would change him to be different than his design intends, and I like his design.

>>180300832
Make Mummy more resistant to flinching so you can throw out your heavy ARMS all day with no problem.

Here's what I do:

Never grab.
Only throw light punches when they're looking away so they don't really notice.
When they Rush don't interrupt them. Just wait or if they're heavy then throw all punches.

>>180306146
I do the same thing as its the only valid way to play unless you're incredibly good and can fight 2 people at once easily. It's still not that fun though.

i tried the whammer with springman and boy it does wonders agains everyone

>>180313969
The Buff curves more.

>>180313935
Cobra's dash is fast when his arms are charged. Blocking or landing from a jump without punching gives you a quick charge, or you can hold dash or jump for long charge. A longer charge means more of his fast dashes. Also his forward fast dash slides low and dodges under attacks.

>>180314186
and the bubb?

>>180313935
>>180314186
>>180314353
Bubb has high manual curving. Buff is more homing curving. Try using them in vs with cpu set to stationary. You can curve the Bubb far compared to other glove arms. Buff's auto aim can be good too though.

Finally rank 10. Hopefully I can reach 11 tomorrow.

These are both true. 200 is best if you're good enough to capatalise on it.

mfw I just perfected Hedlock without cheesing him on level 7. And I was recording at the time

Feels good to not be a shitter anymore

>>180319336
Its cheesing no matter what unless you go double toasty.

>>180314513
I honestly prefer Bubb to Buff simply because you can control it better.

It's by far the best element. It's a guaranteed grab on hit so add like 150 damage

does anyone have the helix dodge webm?

Is Kid Cobra good? It feels like he's the only character I'm good with

>>180321659
Cobra is currently the most popular choice I've seen, and if you get good with him there isn't really a reliable counter.

I'll try and make a quick webm but the quality will have to suffer to fit here i'll upload the whole fight properly later

>>180321659
Hes considered the best character with Ninjara in 2nd. All the shitters pick him, If you lose with him its like being humiliated

>>180321659
Every character is viable in their own way, other-wise we'd only play Ribbon-girl, Min-Min, and Ninjara. Nothing else

Finding what fighter (and what ARMS to use but that's a different topic) suits you best is what really matters.

So how exactly does countering work? I can never seem to get it down.

>>180322054
They throw, you dodge, you throw. It's not very difficult.

>>180322194
I mean from within a shield.

>>180320306
Yes

>>180322054
Think of it as push blocking in certain fighting games

As you block the hit, dash forward, and you should have the advantage

>>180322265
They throw, their fist hits your shield, you hit dash and it breaks you through the punches they threw at you, which gives you a chance to hit back or grab them.

>>180321929
As a filthy cobra main, I don't think he's good enough to be the "best character."
He has movement options but not as many as ribbon girl, and his constant need to charge his dash makes him very predictable.

Also,
>ninjara 2nd anything
Ninjara's popular, not good.

I admire you dearly, anon. I hope you continue to play just as good as you did there.

>>180322902
I love how well you dodge his attacks and actually wait for a good opening to attack.

Even though I won't be maining Ribbon-girl because I want to be different I'm taking notes here.

What are the meta arms for her? She is my main, and waifu.

>>180323976
Thinking of any ARMS that could benefit greatly from Min-Min's left "dragon" arm is a good start.

I'd say ARMS with Blast, Ram-Ram, or ARMS with Electric are good choices.

I will look into those, and try out other arms too. I am saving coins to unlock more arms, but am doing pretty good with the charged spinner in the meantime

Thanks boys
>>180323781
I actually have a tournament coming up on the weekend that uses default arms as the ruleset, which is hard to practice for since everyone goes for meme arms in ranked. So if anybody wants to do some default practice tomorrow I'm TMoGenius in the FC list

>>180324817
Today was my day off but I'll see if I have any time tomorrow, thanks.

>Use lucky rush

I bet I can do you one better.
>Lose matches enough to get the lucky rush, most recent loss being V-Ball against double Revolver Mechanica
>1v1 fight with the same person
>True American Double Toaster against Revolver/Whammer
>Keep punches charged
>Every knockdown I get, stand perfectly still
>Dodge both punches, get another charged Toaster in
>Block her rush
>Last bit of health to go through, I get hit a few times, but not enough to reach 25%
>Final combo to go through, block the Revolver, insta-counter the Whammer
>One punch to finish
>Didn't even need to rush

I felt it would've been unfair to use the rush from a gimmick mode. I wanted it to be a honest fight through and through.

As another Ramenfag, it's usually any of the electric elements, or if you wanna be an ass, have Crackers on your dragon arm. Having it charged basically makes it a giant blasting beast that knocks people down so you always have momentum going for you.

>>180324442
I forgot to note that ARMS with Blast have a risk-reward factor to them in the sense that if your arms get punched by your opponent at any point when you throw them OR when they're just charged then they'll blow up prematurely, even in your face so be cautious.

Any Mummy Men out there care to give me tips on how to effectively play Master Mummy?

>default arms only
so the tourneyfags have already ruined the game competetive, got it.

The bird arms are really good, it feels like they have minor homing and can curve really hard and still hit their mark
