ARMS hype discussion

I've been rewatching footage, and just realized that the Guardian arm (the shield with a face) has colored fins that go dark for every punch the opponent throws. That means that if you have multihit arms or just spam punches at it, you can knock down the shield

Details like this make my appreciate how much depth the game has.

>I work during every single one of the Test Punches

Nintendo's "one hour only" shit needs to fucking stop, you have a god damn "1 Player" option on your menu fucking taunting me

The Switch is portable

why does every new nitendo ip look like a generic childrens toy aimed at 3-5 year olds? All the old characters were unique, this is cookie-cutter shit. did all the talent grow old?

I work for a private company that handles government documents that pats us down and makes us leave electronics in lead coated lockers at the door. Can't even bring my 3DS in because it has cameras on it.

Not happening.

Man that blows. But you seriously work all weekends?

Not too much I'm allowed to say but during shitstorms, yes.

Do you shitpost for shariablue? Is that your job?

Fuck no. Myself and most of the office voted Trump. Some of the paperwork we handled recently is police reports, guess who gets arrested more than everyone else? For legitimate reasons? Das wayciss though.

Enough of that. Let me stew in my anger I have to either set an alarm for four in the morning or not play until launch.

So then do think heavy arms should break through easy and light arms willbhave more trouble.

The regular toaster from Springman knocked out 2 of the lights. I assume charged arms deal more damage but the best strategy will probably be to either spam punches or dodge.

Yeah? And how's that working out for you, huh? You voted yourself into waking up at 4 am.

It's a test for their servers, of course it's only an hour long.

>Ignoring the 1 Player part

>Cookie-cutter shit
>These characters

Why the fuck would they allow single player during a stress test?

Yeah there isn't going to be singleplayer, especially when it's essentially a story mode.

I don't know, why the fuck would they put single player into the test punch download?

Fucking Nintendo and their garbage demos, I'd rather go back to the fucking limited demo shit than deal with this.

>But people will play it forever and never get the real game!

Splatoon unironically has the best art direction of any Nintendo game ever.

What the fuck are you talking about? It's a stress test for their servers and players can play the game themselves to see what it's like.

Pick up your Switch and load the demo. There is an option for single player.

There is no excuse, literally zero, why they couldn't give you one or two characters and a bot to mess around with in this DEMO so that those of us who can't play the stress test can still try out the game.

You know, demos? Remember those?

Yeah, I don't remember those. Industry haven't used them in over a decade. Get over it.

>motherfuckers are on this website right fucking now defending this horseshit

IT'S OKAY WHEN NINTENDO DOES IT

REMEMBER WHEN SNIPPERCLIPS HAD A DEMO

I WOULD NEVER HAVE GIVEN THAT GAME THE FUCKING TIME OF DAY BUT I PLAYED THE DEMO

GUESS WHAT

I FUCKING BOUGHT IT

GEE WHAT A THOUGHT HUH

The whole industry doesn't use them, retard.

wow that's strange, look at this even stranger, there appears to be demos on the PSN store

golly, even on the Xbox store

call me crazy but the test punch ALSO appears to be some kind of demo YOU FUCKING COCK SUCKER.

A stress test isn't a demo, retard. Industry moved away from demos a long time ago. It simply took too much effort and in the end it lowered sales because people wouldn't buy your game. It sucks but I understand why companies don't do it.

>Going to miss the first session because of work.
I'm disappointed.
I'll be at home and enjoying every other session but the fact I'll miss out on that initial rush of excitement as it starts is disappointing.

>There is an option for single player.
That's an option to play 1v1 online.
The other option is for 2v2 online.

Less likely you'll run into server problems though. So rejoice!

Will the first testpunch hour be actually region locked to the US?

I'm pretty sure that's later on

No. Timezones just make it so the US the only place with a session on Friday.
