Repostan for new thread

Anybody want to do some first to 20 coin sets
1v1 default arms and Springman stage only add TMoGenius on the list

Reposted from last thread:

hey how do you guys handle kid cobra double slaps? Seems like I can't touch or even counter them in time since they have huge ass hitboxes. and even then kid cobra has his quick dodges and jumps. Any tips? (Using B&b double bubbs btw)

>>180590503
What would be the set for the most honest combat you could possibly get? Duplicates aside, I mean. Three sets of Toasters is all fun and good and honest, but a man's gotta have variety.

I swear to god ninjara and kid cobra players are the most cancerous in this damn game

>>180590503
>Double bubb
>Honest

Those aren't Toasters anon

>>180591212
Toasters have knockdown. Bubbs are just straight punching, no other gimmicks.

>>180591447
its still the best arms

>>180591447
They're also far bigger than the toaster and home in, making it a lot easier to land hits as well as knocking out other attacks.

Its far from honest, most good players 10+ run a set of buff or bubb

>>180591572
shit, I didnt know that

>>180591572
Buffs have homing, though its not as good you'd think. Bubbs allow for way more control and they're still mediums when they charge. imo Bubbs are the way to go if you wanna be as honest as possible, and if want extra bragging rights you can run double megatons/watts.

>>180591572
>and home in
What? No they don't. Only Seekies and Homies home in.
>making it a lot easier to land hits as well as knocking out other attacks.
Not from my experience. The weight class doesn't change, so it still parries the same stuff and gets deflected by other stuff.

>>180589839
If you could do Springman curving his arms and pinching Twintelle on her ass that would be perfect

>>180592720
Better than Nerfs which bring flavor of the month shitters out in force

>>180592824
>Nerfs which bring flavor of the month shitters out in force

t. someone who nevered play any other game that focus on buffing

>>180589021
Slaps, like most curved arms, are mid-range weapons. You can try to stay out and use things like dragons to deal damage and keep them away or go with direct mid-close range gloves (toaster, sparkie) and get in their face.

>>180592940
Nerf balancing brings out a king of the hill mentality whereas buff weaker ARMS to be viable spreads out combos which are good.

>>180589660
Nice fightin' with ya. I was the Mummy. Sorry you ended up the punchbag though. If you work on the footwork and ground game high level toasty Springmen are scary.

>>180591942
I always use double megawatts for 2v2 or vs hedlok

They're pretty amazing

>>180593040
It will just create new king of the hill, then devs realize they buffed the other arms too little so they keep buffing them then the game powercreeps out of reach

>>180592230
Max will be playable in Grand Prix as well, right? I wonder who his final opponent will be.

>>180593178
Well, I guess all you can do is try to have faith in the devs, or become so good it doesn't matter what arms are in style.

>>180593178
In comparison to nerfs which make certain ARMS worse than shit leading to 1 to 2 min max combos.

>>180593139
Yeah heavy arms are fun as shit in party modes, but in ranked or 1v1s its pretty much up to your skill.

>>180593346
they will always be 1 to 2 min max combos no matter buffs or nerfs

do you even play video games

>>180593479
I thought we were just reducing to absurdity since you were being melodramatic.

>>180593292
Thing is though, the slaps can go forward too, with slight left or right deviations. So in other words the best way would be to get gud at instant counters and or use heavies. Shit's still hard though since its mostly jump+dash happy Cobras.

>>180593240
Maybe his final opponent will be the NEXT dlc character?
I doubt it, though.

>>180593438
It's up to skill, but glove choice absolutely matters.

My default loadout of megawatt/dragon absolutely crushes people trying to be straightforward. The dragon keeps pressure on if they try to stay away and the megawatt beats out close range and straight mid-range gloves. It's vulnerable to curved arms at mid-range but changing either arm to the sparkie/toaster takes care of that weakness

Playing "honest" by only using straight mid-range gloves is all well and good but they're vulnerable to heavy arms so you should have medium-range curved arms as a backup.

What weapons best compliments wind? I'm looking to combo off of the cyclone effect.

>>180593832
Still trying to get a Megaton/watt on my B&b for this very set up. Though I will say that double Bubbs are still pretty fun, I just change how I move and pressure depending on the opposition. I spent at least 800 coins by now and still no Mega-anything.

>>180594150
Fire poppers since they're fast and wide. Or anything fast with fire. You can try with explosives like seekies and tribolts for extra hits too. Though you might have to play kinda closer than usual since wind arms do have a lot of knockback.

>spring man will be max brass' final opponent in grand prix
mark my word boys

So, is everyone with the ARMS gene in the fighting league, or just some of them? If the gene is widespread it only raises more questions.

>>180594873
You would think more than 11-ish people would have it.

>>180594873
Biff says in one of his pre-fight comments that it affects 1 in 100,000 people.

>>180595073
Can happen to animals too. Imagine if they announce a new fighter that's an orangutan or even something cliche like a kangaroo.

So once Max comes out, what will be the point in using Springman outside of character loyalty?

Motion or button controls?

>>180595429
Smaller hitbox?

>>180595557
Depends on playstyle. Button if your arms revolve around fast punches.

>>180593995
>Do a 1v1 at 75% health

>She stops attacking and draws close
>On a whim decide to grab her to knock her out of 100%
>She spams punches to finish me off in rage

>>180595710
When does it speed up the opponent? All I've seen is stupid lag invincibility. Punches go right through the opponent and grabs break without further interaction.

>>180595369
Or maybe even a cobra

>>180594150
>>180594631
Actually never mind, I'm talking out of my ass. Wind arms just blow people really far away and you have a very small window to combo, even then its like an additional 20 damage. So I guess you can get the most out of them by either using them for zoning or for cheeky air juggles. The latter is not worth it imo. Unless someone discovers something new about them that's all I got.

>>180595073
Makes me wonder if they have ARMS accessible areas, given how much of a handicap it is without the mask.

I really hope they come out with more lore, if they give enough of a shit to justify some of the bigger questions they should answer the minutia too.

It's really weird comparing 2D Springman with 3D Springman. Not only because he suffers from the Mario Bros issues, where he looks way better on 2D than 3D. It's because in 2D he looks really happy and energetic, but in the actual game he becomes like a kind of Smash Mario.

I think the only good arms to pair with shield are the dragons and blorb. But really I think blorb is more reliable since it has a very high vertical arc if you pull back so it can go over the sheild, plus its heavy. Dragons I'm still on the fence about since they leave you open more often, but they also cover more area than the blorb.

What neat combos have you guys found or enjoyed?

>inb4 double slaps

>>180599784
Electric heavy ball on left arm and explodey tribolt on right with min min. Or vice versa. Tribolt gives a good reliable area cover and then with charged dragon arm with electric for easy damage.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed at the fact that entering rush mode deflects punches? Anyone got some tips to deal with it?

>>180599998
Don't make yourself exposed if your opponent is closing in on you with a full rush meter.

>>180600187
I have no way of dealing with it. I dont punch at all, just side dash to avoid anticipated rush. But my opponent will jump then rush at the starting frames of my dash and I will have no way out.

How can I play an honest Ninjara?

>>180600187
I probably should've tried this earlier. I really hate having to stop my assault over that though.

>>180600401
If your opponent is good enough to know when to catch you with a rush your only option is to turtle up and not give him the opportunity

>>180599998
One punch at a time to try and bait while still having a dash available. And if you have a heavy arm enjoy the free damage, if you're confidant can try to sneak in a punch after a dash to stop the rush.

And in the event you both rush at the same time you either clash until its over, delay your rush attacks by side dashing, or just win the exchange with heavier arms.

>>180600429
>A ninja, the definition of unhonorable scum

>Decide to hop in ranked for the first time

So is ranked just an experience grind and not actually ranked?

>>180600574
Be careful though, if they throw a grab and you try to counter they can cancel into their rush to counter-counter you. Then again you can counter AND dash at the same time. The mind games, dude.

>>180601045
for ranking up, yeah, but they do seem to match you with similarly skilled players once you start getting wins under your belt.

>>180601045
Nobody shit enough to stay sub rank 5.

To the anon that said electric should still allow players to move around instead of being a better frost, that may be hard for nintendo to pull off since whenever an arm drops in general it becomes near impossible to move

I'd have to be an idiot to want to use default helix setup. Not a single one of his arms is good to me.

3-for-all is pretty fun once you get the hang of changing targets. I usually bop the guy aiming at me first and then the other guy. Being double teamed isn't so bad if you play defensive or get lucky with 'friendly fire'.

>>180604480

Three for all should have an indicator of who has the most health in the match so people know who to target. That way it becomes less a 1v1+1 and more of an actual free brawl.

You kinda have to play around his shield with dragon and blorb, or do double dragon. Double blorb is just plain difficult. But I understand where your coming from, Helix's defaults aren't easy at all.

Would a taller Guardian arm that also defends against aerial attacks be broken?

I have a problem where I autistically use any boxing type gloves in pairs. Having a megaton in one hand and a toaster in the other just feels too off.

>>180610021
It only feels right to use double boxing gloves, right? You either do huge punches or lots of small punches. You can't do both at the same time because your mind says something is wrong with that and it tries to compensate for both.

It's like using a heavy and light ARM in tandem is learning a new fighting style entirely.

I know autistically sticking to one set is holding me back, but does he genuinely have a slower grab speed than other characters? It feels like it sometimes.

That Helix got me at the end there.

>>180612917
I don't know about speed but I feel his grabs are naturally wider and wide grabs fucking suck because you are easily countered with a punch. Megaton/Megawat stretch your grab out pretty big but it feels even bigger for Mister Monkey.

Hey is it just me or does Cobra have larger arm models than the rest of the roster? Like for instance a popper looks bigger on him than say twintelle.

>>180625763
I have never been hit by barq after grabing, thought it was impossible
Is there any way to determine when barq is going to attack when playing bb?

>>180625848
Its on an interval timer. I believe it was every 5-6 seconds barq would punch, but I still dunno how to get him to punch on command.

>>180625816
Arm girth is one of the stats each fighter has and it decides the size of their fists' hitboxes.
Kid Cobra does have a lot of girth and I think the highest is Min Min's dragon arm.

>>180626017
While I admit it does made Cobra look aesthetically better to have larger arms I still don't think he should have them as big as they are for no other reason than looks. His abilities can more than make up for his initial short comings. I guess that's why he's kinda popular since shitters can hit people more easily.

>>180625369
>that design
>those victory animations
>her character profile
Y'know how some characters are obviously designed to be waifubait? I think Mechanica is meant to be daughteru bait.

>>180625946
I'm pretty sure it's connected to when you charge.

>>180626774
Oh shit no way! All this time I thought it would just power up his next auto-attack. Now I got to put this to practice.

>>180626774
Dash charge looks to make the timer shorter by a few seconds. You can't get Barq to punch twice within a three second time span but you can still get them to punch every three seconds regularly. Looks like holding jump causes Barq to roll underneath for an easy springboard. Block charge appears to make Barq punch after the opponent has thrown a fist (or both if they try to grab) but he'll also try to get between the two of you.

>>180627465
Airdashing towards Barq will make him get under you almost every time.

>>180627465
Neat, now if only we could change Barq's arm to something other than a toaster. Of course I'm not talking about elements that can stun, that'd be too good. Something like multishot or a mini-megaton or anything that causes knockdown.

So what's the "meta" at the top rankings right now?

I didn't realize Toaster was actually faster than Sparky or Chilla. Is it the fastest glove?

>>180628489
Ribbon Girl, Minmin and Twintelle

>>180630217
It's the fastest non-bird that also has good range from what I can tell.

I think the "honest" Spring Man build is actually a genuinely good build
i.e. not honest
i.e. use double megaton mummy instead

>>180625946
He'll punch once after 5-6 seconds after he's done one punch in response to something Byte has done. This is on a timer that's pauses if you block and it will be negated if you block for about 3 consequtive seconds or more. I think the 5-6 second timer starts counting again when Barq gets back to his side position instead of being centered. I believe high jumping on him more than once or short jumping on him more than twice will also negate this timer based punch.

As for getting Barq to punch the first time, there's the charge punch these guys mentioned >>180626774 >>180627465 and it also applies to do doing a charge from jumping but only if you are holding the jump button after landing. In additon, Barq also a delayed punch after Byte does a normal punch or a grab.
The normal punch one seems to delayed so it occurs about one second after Byte throws his punch which happens to be about as long as it takes for most arms to fully extend give or take a bit. This punch can be done set up again just about as soon as Barq's arm returns to him.
The grab response punch seems to occur either about half a second after Byte's arms return to him after a failed grab or about a second after you've regained control of Byte after a successful grab. It seems the successful grab punch is delayed to happen at about as long as it takes for the opponent to stand back if they landed on the same level of terrain as they were thrown from and don't bounce off springs or anything.

>>180630718
That's not the point of honest builds

I'm using Min-min with these arms right now:
>Tribolt
>Toaster
>Whammer

I'm not too convinced on my 3rd arm, though. Is there any propper way to use it or should I replace it with anything else?

We just beat a party of 2 Ninjaras trying to grabspam in 2v2. Fucking cheesers

>>180632128
The thing is most Ninjara players don't use his gimmick right. Its supposed to help you dodge while in the air like Ribbon girls except its a direct teleport instead of an extra jump. It's arguably weaker too as it can be easily countered by throwing punches underneath him as most likely you'll hit him. The guard teleport is absolute garbage for the most part and incredibly situational. The upside is that Rushes can be easily dodged by using teleports.

>Getting ganged up in 1v1v1

>>180630358
>not kid cobra

>>180633718

The guard teleport is cool in theory but it honestly seems worse than a normal block, since most of the time trying to guard a rush will teleport you back into it, causing you to just eat the rush anyway

Ninjara is actually hard to lose against.
Why do people keep placing him so high on tier lists?

>>180618267
So we're all in agreement that Kid Cobra's torso is spiraled like that cat/wolf, right?
It would explain his jumps.

As far as big arms go Whammer is probably the best one since it has a chance of hitting. Put it on your left so you can get the larger hitbox. Otherwise Minmin does well with electric arms generally, although seekie is a mixed bag since it can explode on you.

Ribbon girl needs a slight change...

Mummy being able to block and punch through shit on reaction is fine because at close range it's too hard to react to a throw, but Ribbon girl being able to basically put you in a guessing game with zero work is ridiculous

If you guess right on whether/when she's gonna air dash AND whether she's gonna jump again or quick fall you can get a throw, but if you guess wrong on either of those things and use a throw or a punch you get fucked

I'm interested in this. Explain please.

>>180648269
I try to make some distance and get the dragon ASAP to make the megawatt on the left real scary, then keep backing up and charging the dragon to force them to guess their way in close

When they get to mid-close range I look to bait them into attacking me then megawatt through their arms and follow up the elec hit with a free grab

If the person is using arms that can curve around the megawatt reliably I swap both arms for sparkies and just play like I'm spring man

>>180648462
Does anyone else who uses pro controller feel pain in their fingers/wrists/hands if they play for a very long time? I love this game but I need to start resting and stretching more during play, don't wanna pull a Kid Icarus Uprising here.

>>180648370
So Mummy's thing is staying in shield, right?

He's a defensive type, and defensive types and mid-long range weapons go together real well

Dragons are already a real tough defensive weapon to get around, and since a Mummy's in shield all the time he's more or less always charged

If they try to grab you then you can throw a dragon out for a guaranteed freeze, which usually means a free grab on most people

>>180648946
I'm deathly scared of this strategybut also curious.

>>180648759
what scheme do you use to play?

I use the face buttons to jump and dodge but the triggers to punch, no pain yet

>>180649127
That's how I use it, but I think my hands might be a bit big for the pro controller because the pain/stifness I get is largely on my palms and index fingers.

How much better are upgraded arms vs the basic models? Is there a big difference?

>>180649594

also some of the bigger ones increase your throw damage by 5 each IIRC

>>180650485
Never stop dashing, you need to abuse the fact she has one of the best mobility abilities in the game. I largely play her as a ground game, using Whammer/Homie/Sparky. Mechanica you need to play very aggressive, you want to dictate the pace of the game.

>Ranked match
>Have the clear advantage in the first round
>They disconnect

Every time this happens to me it's a Cobra player. Is this a coincidence?

Why does fucking Twintelle have so much fucking mobility

She can immediately dash even after landing what the fuck

Why am I so trash at this fucking game I love it so much

>>180650485
Dash charge a lot. She moves while charging, and can punch while sliding around too. Revolver shots spread out when used while dashing, making them cover a wide area. Having a heavy on other arm like whammer or megaton helps deal with charged fire/wind/electric that can punish through armor. Her air dash covers a lot of distance too, and after landing a knockdown hovering to charge arms then air dash in the direction of their roll can be good to keep pressure on.

>>180651385
Answer me this.

Would you ever trust a snake?

>>180651426
The revolver isn't great in my opinion, once you are confident in your aim you should upgrade to the Sparky on Mechanica.

You can't aim two punches in two different directions at the same time with pro, can you?

>>You can't aim two punches in two different directions at the same time with pro, can you?
You can't aim both in seperate ways after throwing them out, but you can flick the stick quickly while doing a 1 2 punch.

so when exactly does spring release the deflect wave thing? I know after you release dash when charging but is there anywhere else?

Then you can take that knowledge from him and then be semi-good with everybody else. Although his deflect and comeback mechanic are pretty great, too.

Good news boys I won my qualifier and apparently it was the hardest one yet. Main tournament isn't until next month though.

congrats and good luck anon

Forgot to add second place was a rank 14 Master Mummy main that shat all over everybody even took me to match point then I reverse swept. He tried to counter with Twintelle in the finals. Told you about them Mummies boys

You know what this game needs? some kind of stats page. I wanna see my win rates per character/Arm/stage

what makes seekies and homies explode when launched?

>>180662323
what tournament

>>180664236
they have to actually hit something, for one

>>180663180
how did he play

>>180664236
Contact with anything. Opponent, their arms, stage. When your arms are charged with them getting hit in the arms makes them explode on you too, even if you didn't punch.

>>180664464
>even if you didn't punch
I thought that was just max brass' arm?

>>180664590
Its all explosive type arms, and Seekie.

>>180656502
No problem, just one of many viable sets

This game's all about your arm choice

Kid Cobra really isn't that powerful, definitely high tier but not top.

>>180665268

Oh God, that's too cute!

Anyone beat the developer's high scores on either the skillshot where you get the arms or 1vs100?

Honestly I think even high is a bit much. He's mid tier and I rarely lose to them in high rank.

>>180664460
Super patient, knew how to bully lower weight classes, pretty good reaction speed reading grabs or punches, good use of perfect blocks and counters. As you would expect a good mummy to be. He beat 2 out of the 3 Ribbon Girls in the tournament

The most sure fire way I've done so far is wait for them to have both arms out i.e. two punches or a grab. I've been intentionally throwing grabs out when I have rush to either get them to open up or do a bit more damage if they let me grab.

Another way is to delay rush attacks and catch them as they're dashing. You know how you're mostly stuck punching one area during rush right? Well, don't start mashing until the end of their dash/jump, you can even guard into insta-counter if you feel like they want to break your rush.

I think the whole gimmick with guardian is that it's supposed to guard Helix's lower half while he's stretched. As for blorbs they have decent air-to-air usability since they're big and heavy. ground-to-air is more tricky since arcing the blorb upwards is visually misleading, so you have to dash forwards/backwards while punching at the same time to get some degree of success.

why does it feel like the health of rush charge items only ever drop directly on top of the cpu on GP?
