>Minmin's recolour is revealed
>Today's showcase is for the Dragon arm
>EDGE magazine puts the game on it's June cover
ARMS
...
...
why does worst girl get the best alt colour?
Minmin's cool and all, but Spring Man is my favorite Shonenesque protagonist.
fucking epic
They should have made her recolor hair brown or red.
yeah, her recolor is fine but I wish they'd gotten crazier with the colors.
>At the back of the ARMS lab, I discovered that huge cylinders are being destroyed! Well, what on earth were you culturing ...?
Are there other versions of the cover?
Black Ribbon Girl is sick - she's my favorite so far. I would prefer a black Ribbon Girl though - as in African American. But I guess the idea of a black character as an "alternate color" is definitely problematic - so lemme change that: I hope we get a black character.
Kevin is coming.
can you translate the dragon arm showcase?
There's a mummy.
I thought you wuz kangz n shit.
>“The fighters we’ve announced are just a fraction of what’s to come. We’ll be introducing fighters all the time, with all sorts of abilities.”
sick
...
That's a recolour?
Can't even remember the difference tbqh.
I WANNA HAVE SEX WITH A CHINESE GIRL
does she count?
Arms looks interesting so far.
I won't buy a Switch because of it but the design part of it is great so far.
>just a fraction
That's the only one I have seen. Do EDGE do multiple covers? I haven't read a gaming magazine in years.
>Do EDGE do multiple covers?
Yes
...
I think this pretty much confirms the drip feed model for Arms content seeing as how the game releases soon and I doubt they'd announce 5+ new chars in the span of a month
Yes
>We’ll be introducing fighters all the time
So does that mean we'll be getting updates like Splatoon, but with new characters?
Nice
hnnng more
...
I want to be punched by ribbon girl!!!
Not exactly difficult, mate. Chinese chicks are the easiest to lay after Thai bitches. Next after them are Vietnamese & Korean chicks.
see
There's no way they can make better cuties than Ribbon and Min-Min.
Right?
...
...
been there done that
I need Min Min in mylife
l want to suck and bite her delicious calves
Fucking Egyptians and their whitewashing.
I almost feel like this is hinting at arenas you can move through
i'm glad they're taking it seriously like the splatoon devs. fuck sakurai
what do you mean? you can move through all the arenas
I mean like Clayfighter 64. Where every stage has multiple rooms
never heard of it but I'm confused as to how that would work in a 3D game
I'm sure the Naruto fighting games do that with the stages. The transition happened when someone knocked their opponent into another area of the stage iirc.
Dead or Alive does it too.
hmm. not sure what that would add to the game though besides something new to look at
>“In addition to the vast number of possibilities that you can get from the different combinations of left arm, fighter and right arm, if you include the advantages and disadvantages incurred in stages as well, then it’s not practical to balance everything with just a handful of designers. To cope with this, we designed some systems to tabulate the battle results of all the developers, as well as a system for the AI to battle itself all night.” – Jikumaru
wtf?
that's a very straightforward statement. why the confusion?
Nice. They did something similar for BotW too, where they would make the game play itself to test things out.
they mean they used ai battles to help balance the game
>for now, I'll only use 15% of my power
Was Nintendo holding back all along?
>as well as a system for the AI to battle itself all night
I just didnt know that was a thing.
t. Jason Schreier
It means they're having AI fighters constantly duke it out for the sake of balancing and tweaking with combat data.
It's like an automated version of when Aonuma made literally everyone on Breath of the Wild's staff play through the game.
it's been a thing for a while, mate. scientists have been teaching computers to teach themselves for years. This is obviously a much less sophisticated version of that thinking but it's nothing new
like counter-strike bots
like the stock market is more like it
Wo who is left for alt reveals? Master Mummy and Spring Man? I imagine the green escapee will be shown after that.
>Master Mummy and Spring Man?
yeah just those two.
everyone predict what colors they'll be.
I already gave my prediction for Spring Man's colors.
How do we know the characters won't get more than one alt color?
we don't
Sakurai is literally a fucking hack
they'll probably have 3 alts each, since dubs is a thing
I would say at minimum each character will have four colors, one as their stock and three alts.
Unless a team can't have two of the same, then one alt will work like most fighting games.
...
So over half the game will be locked on disc content that they'll give out as "free" updates?
>Even MinMin fans have big asses
truly the best character
...
...
what is this an edit of?
predict alternate colors for ribbon
min min from arms
I remember someone saying the green guy's fans were shown somewhere in an earlier thread. Where was this?
Min Min's alt palette is pretty underwhelming, it's just so minor.
he's getting splatoon 2 colors
I hope her other alts are better. assuming multiple alts are a thing
>flashlight nipples
SUPEEEEER
haha eeeeehhh
I just realized we could use this as a meme against shitposters
On motion controls recommended, but not required…
>“The true feel of ARMS comes when you’re holding both Joy-Con controllers in the Thumbs-Up grip. You can throw punches from each hand with real precision as you dash or jump around, allowing for a lot more depth for your fighting style. It’s possible to throw a straight punch as a feint for your first blow, then curve your second punch to where your opponent runs to. But ARMS doesn’t quire you to use motion controls. I hope people will pick the playstyle that suits them.” – Yabuki
On having to appeal to different types of players…
>“I don’t actually consider fighting games to be a niche genre. There are a lot of big games, and a lot of titles that are prominent on the esports scene. It’s a fiercely competitive genre. We designed the appearance and systems of ARMS so that people can feel like it’s the kind of game they’d like to play, too, by making it so you could see the trajectory of your arms, and by reducing the amount of things you have to memorize. And because we were using motion controls, we worked hard to make sure that while you could play simply by waving your hands, you couldn’t win against a good player by doing just that. Making games accessible while still maintaining plenty of depth is a never-ending problem in videogame development, and we have taken on that challenge with ARMS as well.
...
No, it confirms that they'll be announcing plenty before launch.
Fuck off with this SFV meme
I hope you're right but the realist in me says you're too idealistic

GREEN GUY REVEAL INCOMING
...
guess his name and you win the ARMS race
heh
Kevin
count D.na
>tfw played this at PAX
My buddy and I had some hype matches and curving your punches feels INCREDIBLE. This game is really fun and I honestly think if Nintendo markets it like they did with Splatoon it'll be their next big hit
Something sequential rather than a real name as he is one of many experiments.
Ultimate arms challenge:
tape joycons to your dick and try to beat the AI
Arms replication experiment 5 or A.R.E-5
maybe they could pronounce it like Ares
I would rather feel the HD Rumble on my dick as Ribbon Girl slaps it
>play Arms at a showroom
>punch without thinking too much
>proceed to curve every single punch in the wrong way
This game requires an unexpected amount of precision
Luffy DLC when
So what do you guys think Green Guy's gimmick will be?
well shit user. Now I'm hard. post ribbon ass
