I just unlocked ranked mode. Why do people say it's nearly impossible to beat Grand Prix 4? It wasn't easy but it's not like you can't ever hit the enemy. I didn't even lose any non-fighting match set in it.

Hell, I was using Spring Man with his default ARMS and color.

>>180796264
What do you do about punch spammers like me?

>>180800771
We're bad at the game. I went in immediately after the tutorial. And proceeded to lose 4 times before beating AI Ribbon Girl.

We're not used to losing games against AI on Normal Mode. Winning one out of 5 games via trial and error makes the mode seem difficult.

dodge and punish. If you're spamming punches, then both of your arms would be out, leaving you wide open and vulnerable.

Grand Prix. Choose your favorite character, set difficulty to 1, blow through it all. You get a paltry sum per runthrough, but it does stack up nicely over time.

>>180811912
I have never played any other character but Mechanica and I usually float around until someone tries to punch me and in the last moment jump to the left or right and try to get one hit in. Never have two arms out. If you play against agile characters wait until they try to hit you and then attack as they are about to go down. Always keep your distance because if you get too close you lose. I always play aggressive.

>>180810285

Motion Controls or controller, /vg/?
http://www.strawpoll.me/13288221
I'm getting really pissed off with the motion controls because they're finicky at times and I get my curves to read right or I accidentally do a grab

>>180819359
Also, I can't beat anything on level 7, Am I just shit-tier at this game?

>>180819359
I'm gonna have to switch to motion controls cause the joycon grip is making my right hand hurt something fierce. I dunno what the fuck is going on, this has never happened before. But it sucks.

>>180819359
Motion controls technically gives you more options because you can more easily throw 2 differently curved arms and can make wider grabs, yet I find playing with the pro controler more fun. You can punch much faster with it than you can with motion controls, which is nice if you play super aggresive.

>>180819441
I just got done doing honest springman on lv 7 grand prix. Make sure your motion controls are calibrated, and that your punches are more like flicks and less like jabs. Those will prevent your arm from rotating as intended during a more extended 'punch' and allows you to retain control over lobbing shots or hooks with less delay.

>>180818736
I presume it'd just be for score.

Though I'd keep my coins for the DLC characters and arms when they come out.

>>180819441
Level 7 is legit. It isn't like other games where you have to pick the hardest difficulty for any challenge.

>>180819359
Motion controls have a higher learning curve but a higher skill ceiling as well due to better ARMS control.

>>180814975
Kid Cobra seems to be speaking English at times. I took him for a West Coaster due to his whole skateboard thing.

I legit think Byte & Barq are as solid as Springman and Min Min.

Level 7 AI plays like people who know how to punish and predict your actions since they literally read your inputs and react to them. They're very good to fight against if you want to learn your weaknesses and how to counter meme builds.

how does one deal with explosive arms
if i try to block then dash the explosion gets me, if i dodge it the explosion also gets me, if i punch it also explodes

should i just get a heavy arm to block all that shit?

>>180836291
Would have been cool if every character had their own unique pool of arms that only they could use.

>>180836560
Block, wait a second before dashing.

>>180836560
Dash back after blocking, or just block the explosion. Or punch the arm down before it gets close to you, with a medium or heavy arm. Also hitting their arms while they are charged will cause it to explode on them, even if they haven't punched yet. If you see a Minmin with Seekie on left arm, any tap to that dragon arm will make them shock themselves.

>>180836560
Get close, opponent won't dare to punch you with their explosive arms, because they'd suffer damage too.

Listen, fag, the game is all about arm selection. Asking what arms are good and how people use them in a thread about the game is pretty much what this thread is fucking for.

Also
>chilla, buff, sparky, toaster
You can't have only medium straight arms you fucking ponce, you'll get beaten by literally everyone because people prepare more than just mid-range strategies.

What you're saying is like berating someone in a street fighter thread asking about improvements to his BnB's.

I said he shouldn't follow a brand new meta and explore his own choices. Obviously once people get deeper into the game we're going to find things that are objectively superior for certain matchups, but until then the best way to develop that is to have as many people exploring as many options as possible. I may have gone overboard and I apologize.

>>180851578
You still need to hold the jump button to charge, but it does deflect. It only deflects during the 1/2 second during the contact between them though, so don't be surprised if you are landing back on Barq but get hit.

When in the air, if you hold the jump button Barq will try and track you, so as long as you aren't doing any crazy movements you can continue to jump on him. That's usually a surefire way to get grabbed from below though.

So B&B are useless right? Locking down the dog is trivial and makes you strictly worse than every other character because you can't do anything unique.

the whammer hits where the enemy was the moment you launched it, and it has a slightly taller hitbox. it also swings upwards before slamming down. It's good as a follow-up hit combined with electric/stun/frost, and it's good against more airborne characters as long as they aren't moving sideways too much.

Yo, anyone else got ideas for what some future arms characters might be? I saved this one from a few threads ago as well as remembering one for A candy themed girl and some hackerman guy with cables for arms but I'd like to see some more.

Princess Punch. They already considered her as a guest star in Punch Out, so why not have her in ARMS?

>>180869539
It's not about not being able to deal with a loss, a disconnect still costs them points as if they lost. Disconnecting is done purely to spite the winner. It's pure, undiluted asspain.

>>180869828
Why are fighting games so toxic?

>>180869828
They should have just made it like party mode. If someone dc's there, their character loses all HP and the other guy wins. The current system is completely pointless.

Because fights are generally a 1v1 thing. In other games, you can normally blame your team because things totally weren't your fault.

But if you lose in a fighting game, the blame is all on you.

>>180875415
It is not just a 1v1 you are fighting. It is a 1v2. You are always fighting yourself.

>grabspamming Ribbon Girl
How the fuck are you suppose to counter this, the bitch stays in the air

>>180876147
Jump-Backdash with one punch extended. Hold your other punch for when she eventually comes down. And if shes just full on throwing everything at you, I suggest you invest in at least one heavy arm or the umbrella.

Are motion controls just slower? My punches and movement just seem so slow compared to everyone online.

Min Min player.

>>180876626
Yeah, there's a delay.

>>180876724

Why the fuck are those control types alliwed together then?

Fuck this I'm finally dropping motion controls.

>>180876724
Is there really? I know the pro controller can send data through the usb cable, but is there a delay using motion specifically vs joycon grip?

>>180879147
The delay itself is your own personal delay between thinking of an action and inputting the action in a physical motion. Some people are so dead-set on using controller that when it comes to motion controls it feels like there's a delay but it's only because they themselves are the cause of the delay.

>>180881703

My mid was Hydra but that's been switched to Buff currently.

>>180882310
Stopped playing at 6. May start again soon though.

>>180882310
Just go to rank 10 today, I bubbed my way to where I'm at now. Though I'm switching to megaton/blorb/umbrella to handle the spam that I've been seeing. So far cobras and ribbons have no idea how to handle being at a weight disadvantage.

>>180882310
Just hit rank 10 playing mostly Master Mummy. Honestly I may just stop ranked here as I don't have fun with any characters other than MM, Mechanica, or B&B and I really don't want to deal with the shitters that are Kid Cobra and Ribbon Girl in ranked.

Party Mode is so much more fun but god damn if a fighting game has a ranked mode my sense of competition gets the better of me and I have to play it.

Fuck this stupid game, what's the fucking point of ever attacking if they can always just fucking dodge. Even when I dodge I can never punish before they dash it's so fucking bullshit,

>>180882310
I've been stuck on the cusp between rank 9 and 10 for a couple days now. Sometimes I get good fights, other times I get completely stomped.

>>180885528
Bait them? Works for me usually. People get greedy, so if you are blocking a long time many will try and grab, so you punish that.

Punch towards them and then punch where you think they'll go and if you are right you'll hit them. Works better when one of them is a curving arm.

>>180886035
I am talking Grand Prix on level 7

>>180886131
the only answer to that is to never be in a position to be grabbed, never try to grab unless it's guaranteed, and abuse the AI's tendencies. They're input-reading cheaters so you can't win through mindgames or reactions.

If you ever played old-school MK they're the equivalent of MK walkers

>>180883103
>get real close
>jump
>grab
>???
>profit!
Mummy's huge and his jump and dash are shitty. As long as you're above where his gloves would counter the grab he's fucked.

Be patient and use instant counters to get in range

>>180881703
>>180879147
obviously the motion controls and wireless joycon pad/pro controller would have the same delay by wireless (which is likely negligible)

more likely the motion controls take much longer to go from thought to completed action (thought, arm goes through motion of punching, accelerometer registers the motion control) than it does with normal controller function (thought, thumb/finger exerts slight pressure)

>>180887008
I get punished a lot when I do that.

>>180876626
>>180881703
>>180887238
The guy that made the Byte and Barq video guide has said that motion controls have a 2 frame delay, even for pressing the dash and jump buttons. That's compared to the same joycons used in button mode. He said he recorded himself and screen at the same time to test them.

Never give up dude, show no fear but also do you best to either win, or draw. People act differently when they have an advantage.

>>180890884
I get what you're saying and I would if I was doing well before that, but Hydras are such bullshit that it often feels impossible to fight against a player who has two and is accurate with them. Can't even break through them because of their huge multi hitbox, knockdown, and quick recovery, and larger arms are too slow and get dodged.

Clearing GP4 or higher with any character unlocks Ranked. Other than that you can get huge amounts of money for completing it, as well as a record of how far you got with each character.
>is currency hard to gain quickly?
Nah.
>how often do duplicates appear?
Duplicate arms? You can't get duplicates, save for getting a + arm once.
>do "plus" arms have much of an effect in the meta?
10 extra damage per arm, it has a little effect.
>what's the difference between Fire and Explosion ARMS?
Fire have instant knockdown. Explosion hits twice before knockdown, and have an area effect.

>>180895765
Bubb is faster with less curve and when charged it'll deal more damage.

I don't wanna get rid of the blorb, but I feel like I really need a flanking weapon. I've been having a lot of trouble against the parasol.

>>180896563
Chakrams/Ramram if you need a flanker, if not then use your hydra. Throw it out ahead if their dashes and cover yourself with the cracker.

>>180896563
I recommend cool-a-rang or thunderbird friendo

>>180896563
Blorbs work as a good flanking weapon but you need to time your hooks and know that it bounces to the sides easier on straight jabs instead of initial lobs or hooks.

>>180897042
Stun arms deal more damage than electric on top of shutting down activity for about half a second. Electric arm shuts down movement for two seconds which ends up allowing you to combo or grab from it reliably.

>>180898174
I think she's pretty easy to get a hang of, but you can usually punish her when she falls out of it, or you can just read her dodge and throw the punch out to whatever side she's coming out of.

cheers for the games, lads

Anyone got tips for dual megatons or rather any dual heavy loadout? Of course it's hard to hit at a distance and things get easier when I'm closer, but I want to be able to land hits more reliably. The only time I know I have an advantage is when I rush at the same time my opponent does due to the heavy>medium thing.

Reason why I want to use dual heavies is to beat out bubb/buff/hydra spam.

>>180899559
always keep one in reserve and learn the timing for how long it'll take to retract
don't use more than one against an overly agile opponent, they're better used defensively or reactively because they're too slow to be aggressive with. I like to combo megaton/bird most of the time.

Is there a way to report ninjara players?

>>180899143
If you were to take out the 1v1 fights this would be one of the shittiest fighting games in existence.

>>180899701
I see, I remember being kinda helpless when I mistimed consecutive punches with heavies. Guess I better go the reactive route.

question: is there much of a difference between Electric and Freeze in terms of effect?

>>180902316
Electric means you can't do shit except very slowly move either left or right. Freeze means you can still punch and block.

>>180902437
so there's next to no reason to use ice over electric, essentially

>>180902316
>>180902437
electric arms are also weaker than most arms as well as slower. I dont know if freeze is does any less though

Reminder that you can use zl and zr to throw arms instead of a/b

>>180902524
it takes longer to wear off, and I think freeze arms are slightly faster/more damage than electric.

> all those voice cuts
My dude can you not speak without stuttering like a retard and needing to edit it out?
Also, nearly everything you say is wrong.

>>180904915

No script. I try to cut out all the umms and ands.
Its vocal jump cutting.

>Also, nearly everything you say is wrong

Thats the joke

>>180905579

Next time try to actually be funny.

>>180905579

The joke isn't funny.

>I was only pretending to be retarded

>need good heavy arms for Spring Man
>play the 200 coin timer three times
>the only heavies I get are the Whammer, Blorb and Guardian

I just want a fucking Megaton, hell a Megawatt might even hold me over. All these heavy arms control like ass.

>>180907576
Whammer is based you fucking mongaloid

I don't like how it moves

Why did they have to make Ribbon Girl so good? Every fight is just borderline unfair. Tribolts and Hydras can't even knock her down since her dash cancels are too fast and even then they usually have loadouts that cover their "openings" like double slaps.

Is there any point of practicing against a good ribbon if there's almost no weaknesses I can use? No one even comes close to how innately strong she is.

>>180907754
I don't like the way you move.

>>180907763
Ribbon girl, twintelle, and cobra are objectively better than every other character

>not rocking true America hero and still shitting all over every other character

>>180908038
While that may be true, I can at least beat twintelle and cobra with good timing and movement.

Ribbon is just so fucking dumb to deal with. I have to basically count on the ribbon user to mess up, which is rare.

>>180875415
This is the entire fucking reason why I prefer 1v1 fighting games. Fuck relying on other people to win, I wanna be the champ purely through my own skill.
