If you don't play with motion controls then you don't have any right to post here.

>created as the ulimate weapon
>is the worst character
What did they mean by this?

Yeah! kick that redditor's ass!

>freckles
o shit

No, he is not the worst character. He simply has the highest skill ceilings of all of them. Once you get the grip of him, he become ways too fun to play and become so powerful.

>Twintelle behind everyone, even Helix
This strawpoll made me happy

>Mechanica's victory animation
I can't be mad losing to that.

I am the highest score in the room and won all my 1v1. Only lose two to three 2v2/volleyballs with shit team mates.

Still only made it to 80 points.

She doesn't have ARMS but HAIR.

>helix
it's pronounced "DNA Man"

dELETE THIS TWINTELLE WASN'T EVEN IN THE TESTFIRE THIS IS A BIASED POLL

I've never seen her victory animation.

In fact, I haven't seen a lot of victory animations other than Ribbon Girl's

Ribboniggers literally cannot shut the fuck up.

Even if I don't like her you can't deny the fact that she indeed has arms

I still don't see how this is going to be worth $60. The FGC isn't going to touch it and I don't see video game clubs picking it up when Smash exists.

Let's fight, Mummy main!

...

How the fuck do you change the color variation

Not so fast
>goes under 25% health

Maybe if you took two seconds to read the post above yours you'd know.

lmao nevermind thanks

I LOVE this game but I think I'm done with the testpunches. Can't take any more Party Mode.

Where the buttshots at?

SHIT
HOW DID HE KNOW

The DNA helixes look like Sweet tarts
I wonder what it tastes like

I posted it right before that one appeared ok don't yell at me

>not getting so good you deflect and insta-counter every punch to never take damage

How do you do it with motion controls?

>He's literally Blanka from the street fighter movie
>Same goggles
>Same skin colour
>Created in a tube

...

SRPINGALING

so how do pro controllers work compared to motion? I played it at PAX and didn't really like having to physically punch.

> mfw this is a real color for SpringMan hair

Right here.

I think you do it the same way. As in, with the stick/buttons of the joycons.

>Tank u!

Well his fist taste like fruit so.

>people in this world just suddenly wake up one day with stretchy coils for arms
>there's an entire sport centered around these stretchy coil arm mutants fighting each other
>a genetics lab openly experiments and creates jelly people with stretchy coil arms specifically to fight in this sport and act as practice dummies

ARMS is kind of fucked up.

Well it just looks like poop

RIBBONISTA

Yummy

>everyone says it won't just be Wii sports boxing
>it actually is just Wii sports boxing
Why did you do it Sup Forums

How do I charge without guarding?

I know there is a way but i cant find it

Pic related is only a bait for you to answer because my main is Min Min

Hold dash or hold jump

I think it's because it seems "fussy" to people. The thing is, after a few test punches you start to realize that charges punches aren't something that you have to think about so much as a natural consequence of mobility. Jumping and dashing while holding the buttons should lead to having a charged punch if you don't find an opening. And if you mess around with springmans dash and jump you'll realize you can pretty much let go at the right time to trigger the deflect. I've been using it over blocks most of the time. Got 110 last test punch. I didn't see anyone else using his deflect effectively. And I'd argue I'm still not even good with it. At least not the the level of that Helix poster with perfectly timed ducks, wew lad that was impressive.

I have no idea how to use it thats why

I know this is porn, user.

...

WAIT A SECOND...

...

Just hold the dash or jump button to go into charge animation, then release button to deflect. Charging whenever you can is good anyways because of elemental effects.

hold dash

>he didn't like wii sports boxing

Post more butt.

>taste like fruit
Lewd.

>spring, mechanica, and minmin fags acting as if they're any different from ribbon mains

Meant for

If you haven't seen his backstory, it mentions clearly that he was created as an accident when researching ARMS in ARMS lab.
arms.institute/wiki/Helix

I've tried. It doesn't work. I also tried pointing and clicking and everything and nothing worked lol. unless im doing it wrong, but I can't tell.

...

What do elemental effects do anyways? Just extra damage? Are some fighters weak to specific effects?

I use motion controls, it's the same way that the picture describes. Make sure the stick is clicked in the whole time.
Also pressing up just gives you the default color.

They stun/paralyze/freeze/explode/etc.

literally d.va

You click the left stick and hold it as such. While the stick is still clicked you move if left, right, or down(up is default) and hit A while the clicked left stick is still pointing in the direction you want.

motion or regular?

>can only speak in screams and animalistic noises
>company that created you officially and publicly says you're an "accident"
>they convince the public you "love" to watch ARMS matches all day every day

>your arms become momentarily charged whenever you land
To think it would take this long for me to notice. So I am guessing sometimes it's actually better to land before punching as opposed to the other way around.

click the left stick in and hold it down, don't just press it

while the left stick is still held in, push the stick in a direction.

Then while the clicked stick is being held in that direction, press A.

Also pushing the stick up will just get you the default color

More please

Ran last noon's testpunch with my best friend who visited, and we eventually decided to stick with Master Mummy the whole time. Shit was hilarious.

Are mummy's megaton gloves the only elementless arms?

Fire causes knockdown. Wind is knockback. Electric disabled their arms allowing you a free throw or combo. Explosive has a blast radius that causes knockdown, you can hit walls near someone to explode them. Blind puts ink on the screen. Not really sure on stun and freeze.

Electric seems the best though.

>Tfw he has the mentality of a 2 years old

Only pro controller users would think that because they are unable to make full use of him.

You mean literally Ran.

>one of his victory poses is just fucking booking it
He doesn't want to do this.

Unique effects beyond damage. Electric gives a shock that paralyzes them for a moment, opening them up for grabs and shit. Wind lifts them up and if you git gud you can juggle with fast punches. Fire knocks them down, though I haven't figured out the particular advantages, and Ice slows them down for a moment. Oh also the blorb blinds people so they can't see shit for a moment.

Overal electric and wind seem the most useful, but I'm sure people will figure out what's good in why situation soon enough.

Ninjara's Buff too

>tfw this confirms only 4 alts, no wacky DLC ones like Overwatch

He meant literally Kirby

He doesn't seems to mind it, and he seems pretty happy and curious about the world outside of his tubes.

So, is the game good?

You can also just dash and hold the button to charge, then use it in the air or wherever you want. Mechanica can charge in the air because of hover, and charging after a dash has her move while charging because of her thrusters. Guarding charges too but is not as effect as dash or jump and does not charge Minmin's arm to dragon mode.

I dunno it isn't out yet.

Super Saiyan Springaling master race

...

>next is the last one
I'll miss you Ribbon-chan.

There's more next week I think.

>tfw with a free update there's new alts but with a new secret method

>tap your ARMS amiibo™ on the joycon at the character select screen to unlock exclusive costumes!

No, there are still two more, then we do it all again next weekend.

Oh sweet.

I really want an electric black guy with jumper cable arms in this game.
He should be a heavy fighter because there are more fast fighters now, and his ability should make him immune to grabs when at low health.
