A reminder to take honest fights head-on and, no matter if you win or lose, learn from the experience to improve yourself.

I hate playing against the only three people who play ranked in my region over and over and over.

>>181084309
Got beat by an honest Springman earlier. Still unsure how I feel.

>>181084241
Oh...guess I will stop enjoying it then...only cause you said it is dead.

>>181084241
I'm still finding players online. I think this game will be treated similar not in popularity of course to Rocket League. Always fun to dip into for a bit but not a lot to talk about.

>>181083587
ALIVE!

>>181084309
What makes a fight honest?

I feel that ARMS have issues.

First of all, the game is way too defensive since anything you do is easily punishable:
>When someone activates a rush, the opponent has enough time to shield or side jump during the character's quote time.
>To easily land a rush, you have to wait until your opponent is about to attack, this is because the rush gives a starting deflect, meaning that even if the opponent was about to hit you fairly, their attack will get cancelled and they get harshly punished for it.
>If Twintelle catches one of your arms on the air with her ability, you can get easily punished by her, since your character lose their mobility without one of their arms.
>Players can just run away from you in the case of having a health advantage when the match is about to end. There are characters like Ribbon Girl and Min Min who can dodge your fist easily and also hit you back when your fist is away.
I would recommend making every fist faster (not all the game, just the arms), so offensive can become less punishable.

Secondly, there's the camera issues.
>When you throw a punch the camera will focus on the fist you punched with, instead of the enemy. This is an issue when an opponent side dash away from your punch, because even if you have the other arm's punch, this one will travel at the same direction of the first punch, this is because the camera won't focus on the opponent until your first punch comes back.
>On 1vs1vs1 // 1vs1vs1vs1 // 2vs2, it's hard to tell who are you targeting because sometimes the camera will switch targets automatically. Not to mention that sometimes, two opponents get too close to each other while this happens. (I recommend adding a better pointer above the target you are aiming at).

1vs1vs1 is self explanatory, and so do are many stages like Kid Cobra and Twintelle's.

>How many hours do you guys have?
>Who do you main?
>What's your favorite stage?

60 hour Ribbon main here. Springman's stage is hot American fire.

>the camera issues.
I'll admit that the camera is shit in this game. Specifically switching between targets gives me cancer. It always seems either too sensitive or not sensitive enough.
Doesn't affect me much cause I'm a little ranked bitch, but I recognize that it is pure shit.

>>181086424
Why does Min Min have a wiffle ball for an ARM? Actually, that sounds like a good idea.

>Large projectile
>Moves fast and easy to control
>Counts as light weight, so it's actually countered by any other fist

Okay, maybe not such a good idea.

>>181086612
I just want to be able to switch targets while I'm attacking someone so I can see if I'm in danger.

How do I counter DNA as Ribbon?
It seems like I keep getting perfected by that slimy boy.

>>181087903
RG isn't actually as good as people seem to think. She has very few defensive options and her jumps are downright predictable.
Unless you're a slow character with slow arms, anyone can defeat her.

>>181090628
Jumping itself is a retardedly good defensive option, and a ribbon girl who can mix up both jumps and fast drops is a goddamn nightmare. Not to mention her starting arms are probably the best in the game.

>>181088386
>>181089205
>When an audience character is thiccer than your main characters

What the fuck is the 2-AABQA-1020 error

>>181090962
It's the same as KC's dashes, it's all about timing your hits where they're going. RGs especially like to move horizontally using a jump and quick drop, so if you curve a regular punch you can knock them off balance pretty easily. Then when your opponent loses their rhythm you can follow up with almost any well placed hit.

>>181088386
>>181089205
If 20% of all people have stretchy arms then, statistically, shouldn't there be a decent amount of fans who have them?

>spamming double bubbs to get rush and then going in for the kill

I feel so... dirty. But winning feels nice, too. At least I'm not playing Cobra.

>>181091661
If they can both dodge and spam punches then there's the framing for "timing your hits" falls flat. I've played both good and bad ribbon girls and the good ones you aren't going to hit on sheer virtue of them abusing height and mobility. Jumping in this game is fucking dumb.

>>181090962

>giving a fuck about starting arms
you're one of those purist assmasters trying to get my boy helix unusable in tournaments aren't you

>>181092028
I thought it was 1 in 100,000 people.

>>181092704
Starting arms really doesn't matter once you're a decent ways in ranked, but that doesn't change what I said.
I'm just wishing height+mobility wasn't such a huge factor in this game, mostly in regards to dodgespam. This game might as well be called DODGE because you barely throw out punches in comparison.

>>181093151
the only way i could see someone fail to beat a ribbon this hard is by playing master mummy with dual megatons
honestly most ribbon girls suck just as hard as ninjara

>>181093885
Try playing outside of party mode sometime.

>>181094378
try being even moderately okay at ranked sometime
i don't know what to tell you
git gud?

>>181094586
Moderately okay is being over rank 1, right? I'm at ten, man, if i got retarded ribbon girl players to fight like you did I wouldn't be complaining much. It's not like I'm losing every single time to ribbon girl either, but there are players who completely abuse what she can do, and having a height advantage in this game is a huge advantage in itself.
It's the same with twintelle. Slowmo is bullshit in capable hands, but not every twintelle is capable of abusing it to the point where you only have a 1 second chance to hit her.

double megaton cobra is pure cancer...

>>181095258
>rank 10
Wow you sure told me.
Why are you arguing about this if you haven't even played the game enough to be rank 15 yet?

It would require a rosetta stone of crazy proportions to figure it out, since it clearly isn't a cypher.

Music is pretty fuckin rad, but I just wanna listen to other tunes while punching people over the internet, you know?

>>181105974
Heh, very nice.

I think ya'll exaggerated how powerful Ribbon Girl is, sure she gets 4 jumps, but there's super tiny.

>>181109054
Gee Ribbon Girl, how come the devs let you have FOUR jumps?

anyone else getting lagged to shit?

>>181109054
>Four jumps
>Plus air dashes in between
>And a fast fall to instantly regain jumps
>And bonus air dashes for landing a hit while airborne

The only way I know how to beat rushes is by always holding onto at least one megaton and letting my other arm hit confirm. I am forced to be very reactive and be very grounded in-case my own rush baits don't work.

>>181109054
If you play anyone that has as much air or ground mobility as RG then yeah, I can see where you're coming from. But the rest of the cast that can't move as quick or have little defensive options, RG is just plain torture, even with arms designed for anti-air.

Unless you have godlike reactions or you go against not-so jump-dash happy Ribbons I'm inclined to say we aren't exaggerating.

Hm. Maybe I'll feel different after a bit of Ranked.

But like, even compared to Spring Man who has no air stuff, I don't feel you can get that much more distance. And so many of the cast seem to have aerial maneuvers are their spec.

I definitely felt more mobile spamming dodges with Ninjara than RG's jumps when I finally tried them. I dunno.

Who is maining who? Why?

I'm on the fence between B&B and Springman.

>>181090628
>She has very few defensive options and her jumps are downright predictable.
What the fuck are you talking about?

Each possible jump is a mixup that gets the enemy punished if they guess wrong, on top of guessing if she'll dash left or right (or at all) AND if she's going to quick fall

Ribbon Girl has ridiculous defensive options, you're retarded

>>181119512
I wonder if they'll change him up any. Weird that the first character we get is something of a smash-tier clone.

>>181139068
But each additional jump is barely any horizontal or vertical movement. I would think a punch that would hit her in one spot would not miss just because of her single tiny hop to the right.

I get it all adds up and the fast fall and dashes make it crazy, but just "can basically jump until they hit the ground" isn't as crazy as it sounds.

>>181119991
Yup, always have a loadout with good coverage. For me it will always be 1 heavy, 1 medium, and 1 light/curving arm.

Time for stupid noob questions.
1. Do all characters have the same amount of health, or is it based on weight?
2. What's the point of counting health and damage only in multiples of 5?

>>181140961
>I would think a punch that would hit her in one spot would not miss
You'd be wrong

Also she can dodge and continue to jump or quick-fall at any time

It's not "can jump until they hit the ground," while everyone gets one air mixup and no get out of jail free if the dash is read, Ribbon girls gets THREE plus the quick fall

You don't know what you're talking about

>>181131548
Only when there is lag. But otherwise her cancer is beatable on the regular basis.

>>181142968
Everyone has 1000hp, the multiple of 5s is just there to keep things consistent.

>>181143149
>the multiple of 5s is just there to keep things consistent.
If you divided every damage number by 5 and gave characters 200 health it would be just as consistent.

Man I am STRUGGLING to use Mechanica in GP. Her default ARMS leave a lot to be desired

>>181142971
She gets one dash that can actually cover long distances and some hops for avoiding the smaller arms.

But there are many large arms that the hops won't help against.

Look, the way y'all were talking about it made it seem like she could bounce around the battlefield dodging everything. That's clearly not the case.

I'm not saying she's not powerful or doesn't need tweaks. I'm just saying the inherent concept isn't as absurd as you are making it.

There are two Rank 15 Helix in my area. and they constantly destroy everyone they face. Besides, dual Hydra Helix basically counters the living fuck out of Cobra and Ribbon.
It's actually pretty pathetic.

>>181178512
It sold as much in its opening week as Tekken 7 and SFV did in theirs combined, so I'd say it did pretty well.

Of course, it could be largely due to the Switch being starved for games.

What's your priority order on who to KO first?

Mine is:
Twintelle > Ninjara > Ribbon Girl = Kid Cobra > Min Min > Springman > Helix > Master Mummy > Mechanica = Byte & Barq

ARMS of choice? Currently playing Minmin with Ramram/Bubb.

>>181178512
Almost 15% of Japanese Switch owners have bought ARMS (best to count Famitsu sales cause they also have download card sales). That's a pretty good attach rate for a new IP and a fighting game in Japan. It's sales legs are probably going to be a bit kneecapped by the fact that Switch stock is low as fuck there though and since Nintendo are waiting to frontload units until Splatoon 2 it's probably gonna slow down until that game comes out. Would expect the game to hit 300k around August and for the game to end up at 500k LTD once all is said and done, which would put it overall around half of Splatoon 1.

>>181181046
Blorbs are my staple.

What balance changes do you wanna see?

I think Rushes in particular need some nerfing. They give too much reward for too little risk. In fact, they even negate a lot of risk, because having a rush completely invalidates grabbing.

They should do a lot less damage in general, and be risky enough that you're better off going for a hit confirm instead of just waiting to punish the opponent's attack.

>>181187067
The damage rushes do is fine. All they really have to do is remove the deflect upon activation and let heavy arms break through mid and light arm rushes. Maybe they could also add a small delay between when the rush is activated and when the first punch can be thrown, but that might be too much.

They could also rework the rush gain system so it only counts for punches that hit, graze, or are blocked.

>>181187067
Tech throws for 25% less damage, all attacks do chip damage on guard but no longer interrupt mummy's regen

How do I use birds effectively?

>>181189054
I dunno, I think it would be nice if rush damage was lowered to be closer to the bubb's.

Doing ~200, a little more damage than a throw seems more fair than the 300-400 you can get now, especially if they keep rush gain rate as it is. Save the really heavy damage for heavies like megatons, that are actually a little tricky to hit for full damage or leave you more vulnerable.

>They could also rework the rush gain system so it only counts for punches that hit, graze, or are blocked.
I get what you're saying, but blocking is already one of the weaker defensive options. we don't need to make Master Mummy even worse.

>>181190969
Just let Mummy gain rush too while blocking.

>>181189642
They're like boomerangs except that they can go under and over punches instead of just the sides.

Alternate outfits when?

>>181189054
The deflect removal is ok, and a delay is the opposite we need since people have enough time to react at the moment someone activates the rush, since the game freezes for a bit when the character activates their rush.

>>181181046
Toaster/Tribolt/Megaton

Ive been stuck on level 7 ninjara for days now
I cant beat him legit.
theres no pattern, he just reacts to my actions

>>181194903
I can't argue with that.
Do you charge up rushes pretty quick with that setup or do you only get about one per match?

>>181195727
I finally beat him after 30 minutes. Megawatt / Ramram. I just spammed both after charging and held out until a time over

>>181195103
Between the Ribbons and the Helix I see in rank 15, I'd say that Ninjara will be the least of your worries.

>>181195103
I'm having trouble gitting gud as well. I tried Min Min but her default ARMS are weird as hell.

>>181195904
Usually only one, but not because of the speed. By the time you get rush, your opponent probably does as well, then it's 30 seconds of dashing and guarding while staring each other down waiting for the other to punch first.

You could probably get two if you get an opening to rush right away, but the speed isn't particularly fast.

>>181199283
But, who voices Barq?

Left stick in for the color, right stick in for the costume. What could go wrong?

>>181196878
With double Bubbs you can hang back and spam punches until you get your rush, then just jump in and punch every incoming hit away. Thing is, it goes so fast, you can probably get 3 or maybe even 4 rushes out in a single game.
Shits nuts.

>>181202135

I feel as if I'm approaching a lot of these characters in the wrong way.

Fuck it. I'm gonna start playing online with controller. I was gonna only use motion when playing against other people, but I can never find time and I can lay in bed with the controller.

>>181204396
Motion controls are a double edged sword.
Sure they let you aim better shots, but the lag on them is almost never worth it in the end.

We all just have to try really hard to get used to pushing in the stick to guard.

>>181193784
this was probably made by a shitter minmin when she's one of the best characters in the game. Fuck minmin and her assortment of shock arms into grab bullshit fucking SHIT COMBOS FUCK OFF

>>181205036
I've already gotten used to that on like day 2.

>>181205036
I don't even mind the stick to guard. I can't get used to the movement because the jump and dash buttons are in weird spots for me.

>>181202135
>you can probably get 3 or maybe even 4 rushes out in a single game.
By game, you mean 2/3 rounds right? There's no way you mean 3 rushes per round, r-right?

>>181205036
I just thought it would be more fun to do full motion, but getting it all set up just isn't worth it with the way I play video games.

>TFW like Spring Man but have a hard time justifying playing him in a game with a DNA blob, a robotic cop, a ninja and a fucking mummy

>>181207986
I like Springman's personality. He's a likeable dork.

>>181205771
I've seen a ribbon girl get 6 rushes in a two round match once.
It's like staring into the void man, you don't come out the same.

Please Nintendo, I'm begging you.

I think block is on stick because that's the closest thing they could figure to "oh yeah, you can only block when you aren't aiming at all or moving at all".

>Think I've put maybe 20 hours into ARMS

>>181211146
Switch doesn't tell you how many hours you have in a game until after the first 10 days since you bought it.

>>181205036
I actually aim better with the stick, but it sucks because aiming another punch while another travels means that your previous punch drifts that direction you're aiming.

Still, pressing the stick down to block feels more natural than twisting both joycons downwards when flailing your arms like a retard.

Any tips against springman ?
I've played 13-16 matches against one and RQ'ed at the last one, but everytime I tried to hit him, punches were either deflected or stopped by his toasters.
Plus, his grab and dashes can't be punished with Mechanica's super so, that's kinda annoying.

it's not a great second week. in two weeks, arms sold in japan a little bit more than splatoon did in its first but you have to keep in mind that:
-it's a new fighting game
-switch is a new system and is nowhere to be found in japan
-there were more or less two milions of wii u when splatoon came out meanwhile the switch has just recenty surpassed the one milion units sold in japan

it seems that it's doing fine everywhere else too, 15k copies in the uk (#2 on the sales chart) and #30 spot on amazon.com list of 100 best sellers 2017 in videogames right under resident evil 7

im considering buying this... but im not sure, since splatoon comes out soon anyway

fighting games of any kind always make me salty but I can't stop getting them. I want to git more gud than embarrassing average

Other than kid cobra, do characters have slower/faster dashes than other characters? Obviously master mummy moves slower than someone like min min, but in terms of their actual dashes and jumps, does one go faster/farther than the other?

>>181253710
Technically Mechanica has the longest dash, and Helix the shortest; Kid Cobra has the quickest, but yet also has one of the slowest.

>>181254037
So there is a difference then. Any idea where min min is on the list? I've been maining her and she feels pretty mobile but I haven't really tried anyone else extensively so I don't have a feel for her in comparison to anyone else.

Also trying to learn how to utilize her kick but its so fucking hard to remember to actually use it in a fight. Really just using her for dragon arm, which is totally ok because it's awesome.

>>181253002
I bought arms mainly because splatoon, like all games, gets boring after a while. Gonna weave some arms in after playing splatoon and jump back when I get too salty. Should be a good summer.
>>181253502
I know that feel. Street fighter, tekken, soul cal, doa, mk, I played them all over the years and remain just average. I've skipped out on all the latest entries but I went right ahead and got arms anyway. I'll never escape.

Am I the only one infuriated by hedlok fights at level 6 and 7? It feels impossible, and the few times I'm starting to win he just spams explosions at me for the rest of the match

How do I git gud?

Help me, /arms/.

I'm so sad that I'm falling out of love with the game. I don't enjoy it at all anymore. I've finished GP7 with about half the cast and I got to rank 11, I think I lost like 3 total matches while climbing, but I don't feel any need to continue.

The game just isn't that much fun to play. The game is so defensively oriented that almost every round is a timeout. It so heavily rewards counter play. Even the most aggressive part of the game, having rush and running at someone, is a result of being able to have a guaranteed counter for anything they do since rush deflects on activation. It's so fucked that the most aggressive thing in the game is done because you're armed with the best defensive tool in the game.

It's not even like MK8 where I can just fire up a GP and have fun because the AI blatantly cheats and the matches still take forever and are generally unrewarding. You don't even get that Skinner box buzz with constantly unlocking ARMS since it's like you grind for about an hour and a half, then you get to play the gussied up gumball machine.

How do I go back to having fun? After so many hours of playing All-American Spring Man, other characters felt weird at first, but it's clear that Twintelle, Ribbon Girl, and Kid Cobra are top fucking tier. They just get so much over their competition in terms of aerial mobility, in addition to the usual ground options (or even more in Kid Cobra's case), that other characters just feel like inferior forms of them. I still like Spring Man because he's my man, but online is just flooded with those three characters. And Min Min for some reason.

I just don't know how to have fun with the game anymore.

Never, hopefully.

By sucking really badly I guess. I use mechanica and B&B but just get beat a lot.

That's not what I mean. You can use Rush before you recover from using a grab, making it a perfectly safe thing to spam. The instant they try to punish your grab you can rush through their counter and hit them

They do lose rank if they disconnect. It's bullshit you lose rank too, but at least it's not like they're just getting a free mulligan.

I think the answer to ribbon girl really is B&B. He's the only one that has access to super jumps by default. Helix on the other hand has to fight on kind-of even terms, which is why there are some max ranked Helixes.

It's July, where is he?

how do you deal with mummy who sits in defense until you do literally anything then spams hammers?

>>181287941
Anticipate the hammers, then dodge. Or throw out grabs at a distance to force an attack to get him to open up.
