alright, apparently a legit dataminer (discovered sun and moon stuff) has found some files on the next character. he claims that he doesn't have any models tho

Decided to try my hand at ranked for the first time today and got halfway through rank 6 before taking a break. What would you all consider to be a good rank? I know the cap just got bumped up and I didn't have much of a baseline to begin with.

Nade is good. Roaster is also good, and Kerblammer beats out Whammer any day. Too bad Max Brass is so slow though.

And the Hedlok item is horribly overpowered, as it should be. Pretty fun mode.

>>182488129
When you start fighting people that think about their actions, then you're in a good spot. But if you want numbers, I want to say around rank 11 and above is when most people are considered 'good'. Then again, most people got there via hydra/bubb spam pre-patch, so it's on you to have arms that can shut that down.

>>182489443
Bubbs weren't changed by this update, right?

I just want a character with ARMS like this

>>182488546
Whammer is just as good as Kerblammer imo. Remember, stun element is still very good to land combos with. What the Kerblammer really has over Whammer is single punch damage, which is what, 170? Whammer's charged damage is 130 and since stun does no knock down you can easily bump that up to 190-200 every combo, provided you have a fire arm. Point is, stun is very underrated and the people who understand this are scary to go against.

>>182487548
Some sort of candy-based ARMS, it sounds.

>>182490535
nope, they're still just as good as the new Roasters since you still have a chance at 220 due to no knockdown AND you can still build rush fast. That being said, if you can aim the Roasters you'll only be doing 170 (Bubb combos for 165) if a charged hit connects. The thing I'm still worried about is the rush spam, Roasters/Nades are fast as fuck and that means building rush faster on top of doing more rush damage than standard gloves, which average around 250 compared to 350+.

How balanced are the characters in this game?

Around 11:30-11:40 EST I'm making a lobby that everyone will ignore.

Did anyone make it to rank 20 yet?

>>182498483
MAX MOOSLES is my best friend. I hope he does well in tourneys. His default arms are all good.

>>182499279
I haven't seen many Max Brasses ever since the update hit. A few starting out, but then nothing.

>>182500452
No one is willing to play him at higher ranks because switching to a new character while at 15+ is just asking to get stomped by people who play with their mains. All Max Brass are in party mode.

>>182496873
I've encountered some really spammy people on Rank 12 or so. You'd think by then they'd stop doing that.

>>182504856
It's all about that rush meter gain, dude. Though you're right, it's becoming predictable. That's why its best to start spamming on knockdown or when you have a lot of distance.

Max Brass seems really fucking overtuned. His only "negative" seems to be that he gets fucked over by explosive ARMS, but Spring Man's shockwave, Master Mummy's hitstun resistance when charged (+ extended ARMS charge) and Spring Man's comeback factor which adds that hitstun resistance on top of it is fucking bananas.

He's really fun but he seems to be the best character in the game right now by a long shot.

>>182493942
I guess mostly balanced? Mostly because of ARMS customization. A good character will help supplement your ARMS, but I'd say the ARMS dictate more of the battle.

That is unless you play Default ARMS meta which seems to be the competitive standard - then several characters start losing. Master Mummy, Mechanica and arguably Helix get kinda fucked while Byte & Barq and Spring Man are pretty much top tier because they have some of the best default ARMS - not that the aforementioned characters would necessarily outclass one another if they had all ARMS to choose from but the gap would be a lot smaller.

Is anybody else retaining their streak after a loss?

>>182507398
if you have a 3 or 4 streak and lose you get knocked down to a 2 or 3 instead of to 0.

>>182506884
Max Brass still has the weakness all heavies have, and the fact that he's heug and slow makes him more easy to hit than Springman. So his size and speed are his main disadvantages when compared to the rest of the cast. He really isn't the monster you make him out to be.

I love playing Mechanica!

>>182509670
Mechanica a cute. Too bad she gets fucked over by electric arms.

>>182509836
Everyone gets fucked over by electric arms. It's just that with heavies you have to play more reactively and keep scoring knockdowns. It's a hard life for sure.

>>182510373
Well I mean that she and Master Mummy get extra fucked over because their Super Armor prevents knockdown from electric attacks, so if they get caught while jumping it's free hits. Max Brass doesn't have this problem because he loses his buff mode if he gets knocked down.

>>182510769
A hard life indeed. Well, its up to Mecha/Mummy players to play super gud then, no other way around elemental abuse.

where would you rank the 3 new arms on this list?

>>182512369
Roaster and Nade are S+ if you can aim. Those things are fast and hit way harder than the rest of the glove arms, rush damage is stronger too. The Kablammer should be wherever Whammer is, maybe a little higher since it has aoe explosions, damage is damage after all.

Before I post my FC, anyone want to lobby?

I'm not sure I agree with this placement methodology. Is anyone really going to use Bubb Buff AND Hydra on the same set? I would take one, then a curving arm, and then something with lightning probably.

>>182529467
Yeah, parasol is kind of mediocre when not blocking light arms.

Vanellope with laffy taffy arms.

what do you do against minmins with a thunderbird in their dragon arm

this build consistently fucks me up even as a spring main

Min min is so fucking good.

That dragon arm is so fucking fun. Holy shit I love that stupid Ramen haired fuck.

>>182531715
I have the same question except with Twintelles in general, I don't why Kid Cobra is top tier when Ribbon Girl, Twintelle and MinMin consistently give me more issues

>It's an "Only 2 other people are playing ranked" episode

>>182533693
Kid Cobra could jump longer distances or something. It's one of those subtle things that made people hate to play against him I guess. I had a similar problem with Ribbon Girl just never getting hit, but it turns out that was a bug and hitting people no longer feels like pulling teeth so far.

>>182535198
Yeah I heard about that but KC still feels easier to me

Why is the Commish such a fun guy to play as? I haven't even unlocked any arms for him yet and I kicked ass through level 4 Grand Prix without a single loss.

>>182539290
I find that he's significantly harder against real players, moreso than other characters

I remember when the Testpunch came out and I was convinced that the dragon arm was going to be a high tier arm. Good times.

>>182539290
>>182540808

I've been playing him in ranked and have been winning about 60% or so of my matches

When I first saw what all of his abilities were I thought that he was just a better version of spring man, I don't know whether I'm disappointed or happy that that's not quite the case

This general better wake the fuck up, this game just got funner to play

alright, which one of you fucks is spreading the "permaban people who disconnect" meme?

i've seen that shit on the front page of r/nintendoswitch
what the hell? i think they meant temporary ban but you never know

>>182545914
It's a bullshit idea. I don't even ragequit but some people have shit internet connections and don't deserve to be robbed of something they payed for just because of a disconnection. Reward the players who stay instead

>>182545494
I just want to win the round if the other guy intentionally fucks off before he loses. No need to ban people. Just make it like how party mode solves it.

>>182546210
you think they haven't implemented a reward system for staying players because they're afraid people will abuse it?

>>182546545
How, by being afk? That just means it's a free win for the other player, giving them more points. Everybody wins.

>>182546545
Can't really abuse it since you have no way of pairing up with specific players in ranked.

>>182546737
I'm not sure exactly but I can bet somebody will find a way to exploit it.

but you know what? everyone's complaining about the RNG in the arms getter. why not give staying players an "arm getter pass". some kind of way to ensure the next arm they get would be what they wanted(obviously they only get to use it once per lost connection). maybe let them choose to boost an arm they already have? would solve two problems

>>182546907
Yeah, I just thought about that but people in higher "lost connection" risk areas would kind of be at an advantage, right? like they'd be getting more free wins. seems a tad unfair. then again they get to play less

>>182506884
This might change when people unlock more ARMS for him, but all his 3 base ones say they have no auto aim, making them hard to land, especially over long distances. They hit nice and hard, but you better be close to your opponent if you want a hit (and not just a graze on their ARM or a miss).

This all means that you need to box them in for your ARMS to work best, but at the same time, being MAX HUEG makes you really easy to hit up close and if you charge up you will only get bigger, essentially filling all of their screen and having a really hard time dodging anything.

I forget how much HP he has, but he really doesn't feel tanky, so it's not like you can just take all those punches either.

>>182547060
the best idea would obviously be implementing a store that sells you specific pair of arms for like a higher price
say that, usually with the 200 coins timer, people get around 20/25 arms: that's 8/10 coins per arms. make that the store price is 15-20 coins per specific pair

>>182547441
yeah, that's not too bad an idea. that way they can keep all currency uniform.
as a side note, it would be cool if that arms store showed a little shop and biff was the salesman

Hell = fighting Byte & Barq on Minmin's stage

>>182511453
As a mummy main I pretty much just bait anyone with electrify arms into grabbing or screw over their arms with megaton. Only kind of electric arms that really fuck me are thunder birds. They're so difficult to avoid.

>>182551445
Bird arms are just fancy boomerangs. You should be able to get away by dashing backwards, and only go forwards when they shoot from the sides.

I wish there could be a way to not be put on Hoops, is the only mode I hate.

Any tips for dealing against agressive players? even if I can predict their attacks I can't do much to stop them.

>>182565785
Fight fire with fire. If you get knocked down and they're in front of you then you have to either jump or block depending on what they do. Also since they most likely have light arms you should have parasol in your load out.

so npd sales comes out next week
do you guys want to make any predictions?

But I imagine they'll be less than japan more than Europe. Good but not outstanding yet.

>>182568951
>less than Japan
That'd be disastrous. Japan is only barely at 200k right now and US is a bigger region with a bigger audience that seem more likely to be the target base of this game.

>>182569389

I'm just basing this off of how much it seems Japan is more into the game than the US currently. Also from what I heard the sales in japan were pretty good for a new IP console fighter but that could have been shilling.

Realistically we really don't know, but there unfortunately isn't that much talk online about the game in the US so it paints a bad picture. I hope it's selling well though.

>>182570665
Anything that can take advantage of his jump mechanics and barq's assist punch. So you have tons of options really. But generally it's good to have 1 arms of each weight class. Mix and match or double up based on what your opponent has. Personally I run Blorbs (fastest heavy arm), Chakram (stun combos and curve) and Retorcher (fire damage, builds rush fast).

How does Twintelle's special work? You slow down and then what? It doesn't really seem to be good for anything other than being able to float for a bit longer

Speaking of this, is there actually a compiled list of arm speeds etc this information would be pretty useful. I know Toasters are the fastest gloves, sparkies being slowest but I would like to know where everything else stand

I hope Nintendo does something about the idlers in Party Mode now. It's no fun getting paired up with someone who isn't even playing the game. Though I saw one guy who seemed like he would always play seriously for a few seconds then do nothing but block for the rest of the match. So annoying.

Well, she doesn't exactly go higher than the super jump allows so she's pretty much stuck hovering. In which case you only have a few options; Take the risk and try jumping up to her, Be patient and reactive, or use arms with good upward arks.

I just played somebody who somehow jumped super high incredibly fast. It's like he damn near teleported twice a regular jump height.
Is something new or am I getting serious lag?

How do I get gud with my specials I only do like 130-200 damage every time I unleash them and I see other people get to like 320. Is it based on the arms you use or am I just retarded?

>>182621458
A lot of it is based on what arms you have. So unless some hits are missing or you're delaying the rush, you should be doing about 250 minimum for a full rush attack.

>>182621982
Ok. I am using Slappamander and Sparky, I mainly hold my rush to keep the other guy apprehensive but when I do use it I am terrible

>>182622387
You can fix that terrible habit by actually hit confirming or catching them mid jump/attack. I would only really delay it when I need to get into position or dodge a counter rush.

God damn Minmin is so cancer.
It is by far the most popular pick in ranked, and the ramram hitbox is so

I thought they started punishing people for disconnecting.
If anything, people seem to disconnect from me even more since this update.

>>182627386
You and everyone should be using Roaster. For some reason it does 10 more damage than the Toaster with no downside, and also it looks sick as hell when you charge it.

>>182630676
I am.
Roaster is obviously the most honest arm, and everyone knows it by now.
What I was asking is what other arms I should invest in.

>>182630676
The downside is it doesn't have auto-aim like the toaster.

>>182630985
well if you're already honest that's a good start. Unfortunately honesty can't catch sidehoppers well so a good pair to any honest arms is a curved arm to catch evasive types. Chakram is agreed to be one of the better ones for this. For the third slot you would do well to experiment around. I like to keep a heavy arm on to act as a shield but everyone carries a Cracker these days so that's another one worth looking into.

How can anyone get past rank 10 is they are this easily triggered?

>>182631262
Why Cracker and not Hydra?
Cracker may be able to catch a wider area, but it's also super fragile. Also with Hydra, Ribbon Girls turn to paper.

>>182632080
I honestly couldn't tell you. I don't know how Cracker is so good but a lot of people at the top of that Japanese leaderboard have it for some reason. Hydra is also good although I don't know it hasn't felt the same since the nerf.

>>182632162
Cracker is super fast, as strong as the Toaster, has a wide reach on charge, and has knockdown. This lets Ribbons metastasize their cancer.

Is there a leaderboard for the west yet?

Cracker and Hydra got nerfed the same, so it wouldn't make much difference there.
The thing is, whenever I use Cracker, it always gets swatted away with one punch. Whereas the Hydra only loses one or two of its projectiles, which doesn't make a difference if it's charged.

>>182632421
Is parasol good? I only ever see Ribbons or Twintelles using them.

>>182632571
It's good, but only to deal with light arms.

>>182632351
No.

The stigma of pre update Ribbon is still fresh in our minds.

>>182633042
Not him but Buff, Slapamander, and Parasol. The last slot changes between Parasol and Seekie, and I've been debating if I should switch out the Buff for a light arm.

>>182633042
Bubb, Umbrella and either Megaton or RamRam.

There is a new meme going on at higher ranks with people using Kid Cobra with 2 heavy arms. Pretty much only use RamRam for those guys.

Any place to find ARMS tourneys?

>>182633263
>>182633406
So what I'm hearing is normal arm/ parasol/ curving arm is the meta here.
What's the difference between ramram and slapamander?

Who /tradingthisinandgettingsplatoon2instead/ here

>>182633845
Honestly, the Ramram just feels like a slower Slapamander to me. I can never hit anything with it.

>>182633845
I just like RamRam more because of the way the rush attack works. RamRam has one of those spammy rush attacks while Slapamander is a single strike that keeps dealing damage once it hits.

>>182633845
That's just me personally. I don't like heavies on Ribbon, and most people carry Hydras so parasol is very useful. I'm also a big fan of standard glove arms. Slapamander is to pair with the parasol/buff and to be extra annoying in Helix+Mechanica's stages. Honestly the most fun I have with this game is wrecking people with Slapamander+Seekie.

Isn't RamRam capable of attacks from more extreme angles from the side than Slapamanders? I remember someone talking about it but it hell if I know if there are any facts to back it up.

>>182634401
>game doesn't explain anything at all about what fighters abilities do

This is because they're on losing streaks so they get a handicap. You'd be familiar with this mechanic if you played for longer than five minutes.
>even with these gimmicks, people are still trash and still get easily grabbed. They can't even handle your basic meaty
Of course you're going to get shitters in low ranks or people goofing off in Party Mode.

Each of the curving arms is good in their own way.
Slaps are fast, Rams are big, and Birds are unpredictable.
For Ribbon Girl, I'd think a faster arm would be preferable, seeing as you're in the air so much.

>Blond hair
>Fleshy arms

>>182639191
MinMin is one of the best characters in the game if you know what you are doing. Her left arm allows you to have the most stupidly large hitboxes for your attacks. Almost everyone at higher ranks is MinMin with a RamRam on her left arm for that reason.

>>182639191
Mummy's way too gimmicky to be useful but Spring Man, Max Brass, and Min Min have great abilities. for Spring and Max, the deflect ability you get after holding dash lets you force the other player to be defensive and Min Min's dragon arm is stupid good with the right arm. Max also gets the pump up ability which is good but only if the opponent isn't using fire or electric arms to counter it

>>182661625
I like good old 1v1, but Hedlok Scramble is one of the better ones.

Anybody else experiencing some sort of lag where your own arms movement becomes slower, while the other player moves and fights normally?
I've experienced lag where the other player's arms move really fast and they "disappear sometimes", but the combination of slow arms, not hitting the enemy when your arm hits where they visually are, and playing with megaton, makes the slowed down lag a huge pain in the ass to win any match with

>>182662943
Yeah I've had laggy matches that affected me and my opponents on separate occasions very often. Sucks both ways but that's lag in fighting games for ya.

>>182654521
Yeah, but is a pretty slow start.

>>182639723

Lag where they go sanic speeds is the worst.

But it feels good if you manage to win anyway.

>>182694953
Yeah, it's pretty bad. The cat and mouse game at a distance is pretty fun, when you're trying to bait out their rush and they're trying to catch you making a mistake.

It's when they realize that they're allowed to be as aggressive as they want with rush that it becomes cancerous.

Helix probably isn't the best for the arms getter, honestly.

How do I deal with a good Helix. He's so slippery.

>>182713336
Don't attack with boomerangs if he's got room to lean, and try to attack low so he can't slip under.

Blorbs and hammers give me some trouble, t. helix main.

You know, it never occurred to me that the Toaster had homing this whole time. Is it possible that because of that, I ended up being a huge idiot and missed easy punches by simply aiming too far ahead?

I think it's time to become even more honest, once I get the Roasters.

>>182730662

>>182730662
I think healing 20hp instead of 10 would be a great start.
Also some extra property, like receiving like 10 damage less from punches.

>>182731836
Thing is though, that's his gimmick. Forcing people to attack and reacting accordingly. Kinda lame but that's how they designed him. Instead they should have given him incentive to attack like life steal on charged hits or successful throws.

>>182732606
Problem is his self-heal isn't enough to force outright attacking. +10 HP/s is nothing in this fast-paced game, and the only time he can get away with the quicker heal is in 3fas.

>>182737464
Right, specially for the time it takes to heal 100hp that can be taken away with 1 slap of any arm.

I'm about to enter a free-entry ARMS tournament in a couple of hours as a side tournament to a game I actually play and I've never touched the game before even once.

How do I meme on other new players? What's the Katarina db4, 44444444444etc. of ARMS? What's the Mach Tornado of ARMS? What's the Kanji QCB+C of ARMS?

>>182752595
Best character is Mechanica

Best arms: Popper, Revolver, Vertival

>>182752725

They may be the best but are they stupidly easy to use?

I will have zero time to practice. I don't expect to win, I just want to meme out anyone who's not ready for it.

>>182752823
Revolver is pretty good because it's easy to aim, I think I played that weapon for twenty hours only. Revolver and Vertival are nice because they fire quickly but it's a bit harder to aim. Never have both arms out at the same time.

>>182753015

Thank you.

>>182752595
Assuming the rules are default only.

Pick Ninjara and use Buff + Buff on both arms
they are large medium sized arms that do the aiming for you and will beat out or trade pretty much everything you will see in the tournament. If you can play the game for at least 5 minute before the tournament practice movement. I've been to about 3 Arms tournaments so far. New players cannot move, so they will get hit by everything, if you're using Buffs just keep attacking and you will win trades, unless they are using a heavy arm. If they are switch to Chakram on one of your arms to curve it around their heavy arm. Keep spamming punches even if you are far away, as whiffing builds meter in this game, and just use your rush it will hit most players, they can't block it if they are in the air too.

>>182752725
Mechanica is good for noobs since she has super armour, but poppers are custom which tournaments don't allow, revolver is light so gets beaten by any medium in trades which happens a lot at low tier, and I have no idea what vertival is.

when will poppers get nerfed? they should not be able to take me out of the air
