ARMS thread

Who's is your favorite character? Least favorite? Best/worst arm type?
have you fapped to an arms character yet?

Had a nigga trying to fight me with double shield fists
All I had to do was jump and puch/grab

>Who is your favorite character?
Min Min/Mechanica
>Least favorite?
Ninjara. I don't like his aesthetics at all and he's pretty shit
pic related is what I use on Min Min for most of the time

>favorite
Mechanica
>Least favorite
Ninjara because holy fuck everyone picks him and 90% of them are terrible grab spammers.
>best arm
Hammer
>worst arm
Not sure yet

Do not fap to my wife Mechanica

Best fighter
Best girl
Best skin

Helix

Ribbon girl because she's OP

>Who's your favorite
I like too many of them, honestly. I think if I had to choose one, I'd go for Ribbon Girl, I love the way the jumping plays out.
>Least favorite
Probably Ninjara or Mummy guy. Ninjara's quirk just seems too weak compared to the other ones and I don't really like his weapons.

It's broke as shit and I love it

>Favourite
Ribbon Girl

>Least favourite
Biff

>Best ARM
Whammer

>Worst ARM
I have enjoyed all of them so far

How do you change skins?

For some reason Mechanica does nothing for me, unlike Min Min

i hope they make my boy cobra playable during next week testpunch

HELIX

You don't

Can you change your pallet on your own?

How do I block I've topped my lobby without ever using it I just dodge, I use the traditional controls

Is the roster complete? Is it just gonna be the handful of characters we know already exist?

His victory animation is amazing

>fav
Ribbon Girl of course
>least fav
uh mummy I guess dont really hate anyone atm
>best arm
slapamander
>worst arm
laser beam ones if its v-ball

stop that

Press down on the left thumbstick. It's stupid, I know.

When is the next TestPunch?

Click the left stick but yeah same

So which fighter is the most OP so far

and why is it Mechanica?

Haha time for some criticism because I'm never satisfied.

>Roster size is still on the small size. If they would have launched with around 15 characters it would have been perfect.
Sure there will be updates but they will no doubt be slow as shit to come out and will probably only add 1-2 characters at most per update.

>Every arm type being available for every character
Flat out diminishes characters uniqueness in a game that already has minimal differences between characters as it is. Each character should have had a large chunk arms they use be unique to them and them alone, all while having a different pool of universal items that can be used by any character.

We probably have a decent amount of arenas for now so I won't complain about those.

Didn't you play the tutorial? I think you even need to play it

Is it worth staying up until 2am as a Europoor or will it only be empty lobbies?

In 2.5 hours.

Click the left stick down and move it into a direction while the stick is held down then press A. Your character's skin should change once you press A.

Press down on the left analog stick if you're playing handheld or tilt the Joy Cons towards each other if you're using motion controls.

~2.5 hours from now

>camo mechanica
The best

Will do.

>character uniqueness
The differences are pretty big

>Every arm type being available for every character
Only the case for party mode and versus. Ranked won't allow you to change ARMS outside of the starting 3 for each character.

Thank you
I thought it's in half an hour for some reason, good to know. How long do they last?

That's awkward. Thanks!

An hour. Usually the servers open a bit before so come in a few minutes before the turn of the hour, you might get a few more minutes in

Messing around with Ribbon Girl and she's definitely the best character. Her triple jump is just too good.

...

I kinda agree that they should have a few signature arms at least but I feel like their unique abilities are a lot more useful/distinguished than I originally thought they'd be

>all these faggots sucking ribbongirl dick after betraying her for wet noodles or chocolate cake.

who /alwaysbeenloyal/ here?

Really? Where's you hear that? That sounds really interesting

No and they will keep adding new characters with updates and DLC

>blocking an attack with the Guardian and then bopping them on the side of the head with the Blorb

wtf i love helix now

1 hour
I should add that moving the left stick upwards won't actually select a skin. Moving the stick left, right or down will give you one though.

wait is this confirmed? if so then I feel sorry for Helix bros because his arms are shit.

they confirmed free dlc will have new characters

>tfw cant be indulged in your armpit fetish with this game because almost all the girls are gonna have fucked up arms for the most part

Matchmaking is worldwide so lobbies will be full of japs and burgers.

She's not tho. If you charge punches, Big characters like her and Master Mummy get taken down.

My biggest issue with the game, particularly when using heavy weapons like the Blorb is that I'm never really sure how my stick movement is affecting the movement of the weapon. Like, if I'm jumping and punching, I always feel like I'm not sure what I'm controlling.

Anyone else get that problem? I guess it's just a matter of getting used to the game.

I mean I'm /Springmain/ but I've always been /RibbonGirlisbestgirl/

Great I love being the only European in MK8 and beating all those 53% and Japanese

Hope they add flags and some reactions like Good game and such

That doesn't sound good at all, what the fuck.
Just those starting 3 for each character no matter what?
Ranked is going to be hella boring.

I hope you're either trolling or are misinformed honestly.

I still don't understand the slapamander. What does it do?

Who /springaling/ here?

Twintelle is where it's at for me but she's not available yet so whatever I'll settle for RG

Is there an intrinsic difference between putting an ARM on the left or right?

You can already do little emote type things on the long screen
Next test punch try pushing L, r, or a

I'm super worried about nintendo's matchmaking/online.

he is bullshitting. watch the direct, you see them using different arms when showcasing the ranked mode

Fast and quite heavy hitting side sweep that deals fire damage.

I was a Helix bro but can anyone blame me for wanting to switch to a winner like Ribbon? You do enjoy bullying other people, right?

Electro-stun slaps your shit and opens the way for an easy grab

Why do nintendo games attract so many autists?

Right here. Those spats just do things to my pee pee.

209 MOTHERFUCKER

I don't know about matchmaking but the online has been pretty damn good for me, and my internet has been quite unstable the past couple of days.

My springaling
My springaling
I want you to play
With my springaling

Remember when helix was the meme character that everyone loved? Literally everyone that I played against who chose her were terrible. I swear to god that fucking defense parasol thing she throws around is literally dead weight

I dono, tell us

Where do you think you are?

>she

Always and forever

>she

I think this could be a commercial flop

Majority of people picking up a Switch are going to buy Zelda and Mario Kart and won't drop $150 on new games.

Majority of people on Sup Forums love it

Multiplayer people will wait for Splatoon 2 which is already a established IP.

Also won't get any higher than mid 80s

We're right here user

>Fighting another ribbon girl
>Guy goes dual slappamanders
>You've done it now
>Whip out the classic slap/sparky, that normal punch is extremely useful, having two curvers (ramram, slap, whatever that thing ninjara uses) is very risky because if someone figures out how to counter it you're just mega fucked
>Beat the shit out of him
Feels good

Ribbon has always been my girl.

...

What did he mean by this?

Day
One
Shit

>games not even out and people already salty about best girl

and you fucks said MinMin was the face of ARMS

Oh wait, I'm thinking the Sparky

It honestly looks like a relatively low budget affair, unless the main game has some more production value that we didn't witness in the testpunch. I think Nintendo is just trying to introduce some new IP and also expanding the switch library, so I reckon it's fine if it doesn't sell amazingly well.

What's the best ARMS for Ribbon Girl, Sparky and Slap?

Mechanica all day every day. Tried using MinMin, but her shit is whack. Even Helix is more fun than her.

>best arm
THE HAMMER OF DISCIPLINE

>worst arm
Homie

>Also won't get any higher than mid 80s
Your only accurate prediction due to shit motion controls. Other than that Nintendo fans do what others don't buy games.

I just wanted to talk about the game.
New games tend to have at least their first ~10 threads dedicated to mostly gameplay discussion but Nintendo games devolve into circle jerking, waifufagging memefests even before release.

Good setup, but I switch Sparky for Party Popper when its v-ball

>motion controls
>100% optional

>homie
>worst arm
That shit explodes in a huge area during rushes for 200 damage a pop.

Arms should be a bundle title

Motion controls are unresponsive

To be fair there's much less to discuss before the game releases in comparison to release day

There's plenty of discussion about the game in this thread, but you home in on the few people who waifupost instead like the fucking autist you are and derail the thread even more. Nice job

I fucking LOVE that hammer, it's surprisingly easy to land, for some reason.

>won't drop $150 on new games.
doesn't cost $150

is this a shameful vidya faps thread?

>100% optional
No shit they are but you underestimate how retarded game reviewers can be.

We've been discussing what we know of the game for the last few days.

Usually the relevant posting wanes as we get a few hours from the last Testpunch but picks up again when we hit another

Don't use them. I didn't even bother with the motion controls and just opted for the pro controller from the start.
