i'm curious how they're gonna tackle the balance changes in the next patch: yabuki said that they're going to focus a lot more on buffs and nerfs but that's just pr talk for every developer who doesn't want to be stoned to death when talking about balance in their games

as far as i remember, mk8 was pretty unbalanced towards heavy characters when first released but it got a lot better with deluxe. and bamco is thanked during the credits so they're probably gonna help them out too? i mean, there are some obvious things:

>cobra's numbers reduced (throw damage, arms girth, ...)
>bubbs nerfed

but are they going as far as like halve ribbon girl's air jumps? and what about said buffs? i thought about mechanica but she just won that 12 players tournament a few days ago in japan...

i think for this first balance patch and with being only one month in the game, they're only going to mitigate the top tiers chars and arms but nothing too drastic: just enough to be "in line" with the others

>>181630815

>>181631214
I'm inclined to agree with you. The characters consistently hitting top spots right now aren't doing so in overwhelming numbers to the point that the nerfs need to be drastic.
I think there still needs to be more time to explore all of the characters before any big nerfs/buffs get doled out.
I still see a lot of people, especially casual players, put Mechanica close to the bottom when she's actually pretty good, as Shingoro was able to prove very recently.

>>181631796

>>181631214
They said they would focus on buffing, instead of nerfing. They might make some slight improvements to characters or ARMS that are underplayed. Maybe something like small improvements to speed would be good. Mechanica and Mummy would do better with increased dash or jump speed. The lesser used arms tend to be slower than alternatives too.

>>181631214
I predict they're gonna decrease the Rush you gain for whiffing a punch, and increase the rush you gain for blocking

>>181634837
i don't actually hate this game, but i hate a lot of aspects of it

joycons don't work
pro controller does, but you're forced to use the left stick for blocking because yabuki's a motion control psycho
easy to get memed by a weird ARM combo
too easy to get metre
too easy to hit rush with certain ARMS
too hard to hit rush with certain ARMS
bubbs
ribbon girl

>>181631618
Because he's the worst in the game. He can still give you a hard time if you have no flanking arms though.

>>181637223
Honestly I find it easier to push in the stick for block when I'm using the joycons, either in handheld mode or in the joycon grip. It's also easier to do the alt color select without it swapping to an adjacent character. Though I will say the pro is better for using ZR/ZL for punches, but I use A/B anyways.

When do we find out ARMS' worldwide sales?

>>181640314
why would you care about sales? can't you like something without it being popular?

>>181641584
Yabuki has specifically said that sales = extra dlc content.

Also, ARMS having good sales = Spring Man in smash

>>181641741
didn't ARMS have a pretty storng first week in Japan? I think it beat Tekken 7's fist week.

She's not OP. You just need to counter-pick with your ARMS. Also don't get baited into trying to grab her when she's in the air.

I find most people I play against always try to grab me in mid-air. I'll air dodge out of the way and take my free grab against them. I've won matches doing nothing but this.

>>181631618
He was my main at first, but I ended up dumping him. His flinch resistance is good but his heal isn't worth a damn. His lack of really any mobility hurts him as well.

Yeah, that's understandable. He seems like he could be somewhat more competent in 2v2, but outside of that I see little reason why he's get picked.
Does anyone know how much he heals per second anyway?

>>181656535
Its always ten but if you heal for a few seconds then speeds up a little.

Is it bad if I DC when the snake park comes up in ranked? I always stay at the back and wait if the other player wants to fight without those gimmicks but if he doesn't engage I will dc. Had a couple just swirl around in the middle until the timer ran out.

Twintelle's stinky, sweaty feet after a hard match!

If helix is so OP then why, as a helix main, do I see maybe one helix per ten or twenty matches in ranked?

>>181662674
Interesting. Looking at it, I'd say yours is more representative of NA online play.
The tier list in the pic is mine and is based on my observations of Japanese and North American play, along with recent tournament observations. I wanted something that encompassed both of the metas I've been following.
Much like RG here, KC is dominating the Nips' online play and a majority of Rank 15s over there are KC mains.
I don't see Min Min or Helix trending nearly as consistently overall, but I consider them strong and prevalent enough to be A tier, just not A+

>>181663157
Because Helix is hard.
He doesn't play like any other character in the game, and it takes longer to get good at his abilities.
The thing is, a Helix main with a lot of practice can outplay any other character, and unlike RG, he doesn't have a specific weapon that counters him.

I don't get why people keep comparing splatoon to other shooters when the basic mechanics separate it from other shit by a mile, but calling it a dumbed down version of x is insulting, especially if you're making that comparison with tf2 of all games.

Are you retarded? The problem is Splatoon is shallow as fuck. It's so shallow that it's impossible to carry. You literally can't git gud enough to brute force a win.

All you do is slowly slug around and spray pre-determined areas. There's no randomness, no experimentation. It's just bland as hell. It's also 99% recycled assets

I usually just punch them down with Parasol/Toaster/Homie while attacking with my other arm. Today I was mostly using Cracker + Megaton though. Bait/poke with cracker, punch through their attack with megaton, then throw out cracker again before they recover. I use Parasol the same way, but its worse if opponent has a heavy arm, better if they run dual lights.

Also remember to always dash punch as Mechanica to keep mobility, don't punch while standing or walking. Mostly dash back, left, or right then throw punch.

Training mode is in Versus. Also forcing someone to beat the game on 'average' difficulty means that ranked matches won't have inflated ranks and toxic tiers as bad when you can't rely on bumbling through each fight until you pick up a gimmick that works only to have it get blown up later on.

>>181707705
Middle of July, I think.

>>181707705
People are guessing the middle of July. This gives Brass a good week or so before Splatoon 2 is out, which also means the Switch will have three key online games.

But the big question is who does Brass fight at the end of the Grand Prix?

Seriously, take the time to learn how to play instead of being such a fucking baby.

Pretty disappointed with how nintendo is handling this game. Fucking shame too. Can't believe they released with this little content and still have yet to release an update. Tons of people are already dropping the game and it'll probably be even less occupied when splatoon hits. Why did they set Arms up for failure?

>>181718772
>wah wah nintendo are handling this game poorly
It's not even been a fucking month yet. There's already been an update. How quickly do you expect them to pump out content? Either sit down and wait like every other rational and patient human being or fuck off.

>>181719172
My point is, it was rushed and it shows. People are starting to regret their purchases and it seems like nintendo doomed this IP before it had a chance. Why the hell release it with so little content after the content heavy zelda and mariokart?

>>181719596

>>181719768
No, it had a good first couple of weeks but it doesn't mean people are satisfied. Seriously, you'll notice empty lobbies after splatoon launches if nothing is done

>>181720868
Of course ARMS will take a dip after Splatoon 2 comes out. But that doesn't mean the death of it. Don't be so mellow-dramatic.

>>181720971
So how do you see the future of Arms panning out?

>>181721121
I see it doing fine. Odd's are we'll get a squeal down the road somewhere.

DLC isn't that important to me as the gameplay is deep enough that I'm still learning new things and having a blast playing online.

What fucktard thought this was a good idea? What's the gimmick to lvl 4 and are these stupid powered up gloves banned in ranked?

>>181720868
correct and that's exactly why many people speculated that the update after brass comes out will be after splatoon's playerbase has settled down (three/four weeks or pretty much a month later after max brasss)

>>181720971
It'll definitely be the death of it
Arms has hardly any good modes for switch owners to keep coming back
The soundtrack is terrible with no way of turning it off
Doesn't help that the game has no depth what so ever so you don't really learn anything from other players when you play Just what gimmick is going to happen because of x character

>>181721293
we'll clearly get at least one sequel but I mean after that. Is Arms gonna end up like fzero?
>>181721475
I kind of doubt we'll get it that soon and even if we do, it still seems a bit long. Really surprised they couldn't manage updates every 2 weeks considering they must have kept a significant amount of content held back from the launch

>>181721761
hold the fuck on. you have good points but the soundtrack is pretty damn good. you have shit taste in music, mate

>>181721321
The AI is easy. They are good at reacting and dodging your attacks, so just wait for them to attack first and punish them. They are bad at fight from long range too and often run into attacks like the dragon lasers.

Yes the powered up arms are used in ranked mode. It's only 10 extra damage. Arms deal around 80-130 damage and everyone has 1000 HP, so that extra 10 doesn't do a whole lot. Ranked mode gives you plenty of money for unlocking the arms anyways.

>>181721989
I've seen the ai cancel their grabs as I try to whiff, don't bullshit me nigger

And where is training mode? All I'm seeing is some retarded tutorial and not training mode training mode

>>181722240
The CPUs don't do anything that's strictly impossible by the game mechanics besides acting on the same frame you press a button, aka input reading. Anything else you see is mostly likely you not understanding the mechanics. I don't have any problems beating level 7 CPUs.

A regular practice mode is changing to settings of versus mode to infinite time, infinite rush, infinite HP, and setting the CPU to stationary, evasive, or levels 1-7.

>no real training mode, just a hand me down training mode
For what purpose? At most, you can get a 3-hit combo in this game. If you could man up and deal with no arcade in the new SF, you can suck it up and change a few options in Versus until they add one
>the damage boost actually carries on to ranked
10 points is really not as bad as you're making it sound. If you're as good as you claim, learn the system, beat the piss easy A.I. and start climbing in ranked. You can do just fine with the base and GP arms until you get some money to work towards different ones.

>>181724032
-what retard buys a fighting game to play single player content?
-knowing the character more? Finding out more about the character since the game does a horrible job of telling you all the things a character can do (like minmin getting a dragon arm after a throw)
-its still a huge disadvantage for the opponent if they don't have it. 10 points of extra damage is still big and further removes any skill from a game that lacks it to just (he grinded the most, get fucked)
Is this babies first fighting game? Kill yourself

>>181724292
kek at least a third of all fighting game fans buy for singleplayer

>>181721843
it seems long because they're obviously trying to fuck with the playerbases during the first months of each game: that's why they want brass out before the 21th. there's no point in releasing an update for arms during the first or second week of spla2oon because we all know that everyone will be busy with the latter
also, as someone already said, we got an update introducing a heavily requested mode like after a week the game came out

>>181722906
>>181724292
>so bad that you cant even beat CPUs on a medium setting
>crying about ranked when you haven't even played it

No one wins because of grinding in this game. It doesn't take long to get all the arms for one character. Try actually doing some math, the 10 damage doesn't do much. A regular charged Toaster does 130 damage, an upgraded one does 140. Guess how many hits it takes both to kill someone with 1000 HP.

With how much you complain it's obvious you would just whine about various types of spam being OP if you did play online. You sound like you are just memeing and don't actually own the game though.

>>181724292
It's a 3D fighter in the vein of Virtual On or GvG both of which are known for delivering a good single player experience as well as having good multi, why are you treating it like SFV or Tekken?
There is a training mode in the form of changing Versus settings. I still don't understand the bitching about not learning more about your character
As a Rank 14, no the 10 points really don't give you a massive advantage.
>Is this babbies first fighting game?
Clearly it's your first time playing a competitive game by Nintendo.

>>181724920
so what you're saying is this is part of a strategy to ensure Arms isn't overshadowed? but then why even release the game before splatoon 2? why not wait 4-5 months after splatoon? was it just to fill the june game slot?

>>181714183
>ARMS are controlled by their eyes
Is this some meta dialogue about hand-eye coordination?

>>181725173
also correct, the fact that they posted various times what to expect during the first months of the switch in terms of games showed how much they were trying to avoid another wii u

>>181725898
hmm. alright. I suppose that all makes sense for the time being. still don't like waiting for content but it does make sense. I really hope this means we'll be getting huge updates a month or two after splatoon is already out

Yeah, but being able to ensure that you're not going to get frame-perfect punished is a good way to win

>>181730898
You're gonna learn more playing people for sure, that's universally true for all fighting games. CPUs teach you bad habits because outside of reading inputs, they're really bad at neutral; however, they act as a decent checkpoint to make sure you have an understanding of the game's mechanics at a base level. By its very nature, ranked play will iron out overly gimmicky play on the way up.
You're acting as if you have to put in a shitton of work to get in, but if you can't get past a level 4 CPU, you might need to to stick to casual play.

hit her during landing lag, using multishot arms can also work sometimes

you can toss out one punch early if you see a jump dash coming. Just be sure to curve it real hard. And what >>181779596 said.

I haven't done it in ranked but I ran into a twintelle in party mode using a seekie and a hydra. I ended up just going dual hydras and aiming for the seekie whenever she went for a charge. It'd blow up in her face and I'd end up with a grab for it. Landed that three times before winning the match, but it is party mode, so I'm not sure how it'd work against someone with any sort of skill.

>>181806414
My setup right now is Hydras and Triblasts, and I'm trying to win whammers in the fucking arms getter for him but my luck is ridiculously bad. I have a plus for almost every arm now and still no basic whammer.

I was the same way with seekie. Fucking RNG.

I am, but don't worry, I'll still play ARMS when Splatoon 2 is released. I can love both

Poor Ninjara. Went from most popular to barely seeing him.

>>181846631
He's pretty commo in party mode. I still see him in ranked but too I'm only rank 7.

Spring Man thinks they deserve another nuke.

Does anyone else chaingrab a lot? I've gotten pretty good at it.
Also I saw something about being able to airdash twice if you punch in the air or something, can someone explain?

>>181866521
If you hit one of the obstacles in some stages (Scrapyard pillars, Helix test tubes) you can do a second airjump or dodge right after.

If I want to get some more arms for my nigga Spring Man, am I better off doing the 30 coin trials or the 200? Would 6 30 trials be a guaranteed 6 new arms for him?

>>181867391
The first arm to drop is always for the character you play as if possible, so yes 30 is better for one character.

>>181863014
Low ranks are just shitters. Shit gets real at 9 and higher.

Thanks, anon! I'm guessing 200 is better for everyone but I just want to springaling now.

Also, I was watching the Japanese tourny and they did this thing where they would jump in the air, grab, and if their grab got blocked they would immediately rush. I started doing it in ranked and nobody ever expects it.

Any other strats and stuff I should try doing? Still a scrub desu.

>>181869637
Honestly I suggest you go for 200. You get like a good 6+ arms for the character you go in with, plus fill out the others if you ever want to give them a try. One tip is to carry a parasol arm to deal with hydras and other light arms, and to always have one flanking arm like slapamanders or thunderbirds.

take this as you will but the build being used at japan expo paris for the arms tournament has brass and sky arena in it

>People bitching about beating GP 4 to unlock ranked

I played around in training for a bit, beat GP on 2, then beat GP on 4 with no problem at all, without even playing party first.

Are people THAT bad? How do you expect to beat a human if you can't beat the AI? Are you guys memeing?

>>181880641
Should have seen release day. People were calling for a GP nerf so they could play ranked.

>>181880641
I did the same thing, had a ton of trouble with 4 my first time around but now I'm rank 8 and GP7 isn't a huge problem

>>181884902
For some reason the training mode (especially Minmin) kicked my fucking ass, but I guess it was trial by fire because GP 4 was easy as fuck after that.
