Arms really is a game of mobility and elemental arms huh

Arms really is a game of mobility and elemental arms huh

I cant even use Mechanica or Mummy anymore.

Thank god. I love Kid Cobra.

Git gud nigger I'm rank 10 playing exclusively Mechanica and beat GP 7.

>can be hit without being stunned
>can keep moving with her dash and punch during it
>can hover and charge her punches in the air and slowly glide down

"Mechanica is unusable because the game is about mobility!"

Mechanica was 2nd picked in the testpunch under Ribbon Girl and Helix was the least picked.

Helix absolutely will shit on Mechanica the moment you unlock other arms for him.

Her air hover is too slow to be exceptionally useful for avoiding attacks, and superarmor doesn't help very much if the opponent is throwing charged punches.

Like, you're breaking this down to some insanely overly simplistic levels. Did you notice that most homing and or boomerang arms literally shit on Helix? What arms is this Helix using? Do I have a counterpick on hand?

Furthermore, Helix is really slow. He HAS to use squash and stretch to stay competitive at anything Rank 10+ while I effortlessly glide, both in the air and on the ground, across the stage.

Any character can use any arms so at least half of your argument is invalid.

The game's been out for a week

The highest ranks have Ribbon Girl and Kid Cobra solely because movement and mind games IS important.

I dont see why anybody is denying this.

>needing other arms
>not mastering double Guardians

Mark my words, Helix will one day be considered a hard counter to Ribbon Girl

Kid Cobra doesn't need a hard counter because he's honestly not that bad to deal with. Every retard I see goes double Hydras or some equally inane shit and all you have to do is perfect-block and/or counter punch through it with any regular weight (or above) arm

>mfw I'm halfway through rank 8 and only play mummy
how many ranks are there in this game anyway

>Movement and Mindgames are important

Where are all the Ninjaras, Spring Men, and Twintelles?

I like playing Master Mummy. I'm better at blocking than dodging anyhow.

15

If you're not Rank 10+ you are literally not allowed to give any advice or commentary on the arms meta

oh I thought you were figuratively not allowed to

Spring Man is gonna be immediately outclassed when Max Brass is out unless theyre gonna rebalance him completely. Ninjara players get too predictable with their teleports.

>Shilled out the ass
>Sold like fucking hotcakes
>Dedicated support for at least as long as Splatoon 1
>First Party Nintendo

So it's gonna stick around, right? Pokken is somehow still alive with even less to it's name.

I mean you'll be looked down on and not taken seriously I guess, but nobody has a gun to your head

It'll be fine. The hype has died down and now people are claiming it's dead but they do this all the time

>can't use Mechanica

How? Are you retarded?

People have been claiming games like Dota2 and more recently Overwatch to be dead. Sup Forums is just full of funposters.

I can ONLY use Mechanica because of her aerial mobility. Float then time your dash into one direction.

So, what is High Rank? I'm Level 14, mainly using Mechanica and Helix, and still see a good variety of characters, although Gibbons are more noticeable.

You give Mechanica good arms like sparky doofus

Elemental arms really do negate the benefits of being a heavy. The -50% damage taken is pointless when you still take full damage from fire attacks and grabs so even electric can do dirty damage to you.

Mechanica and Mummy got the shaft hard. Literally everyone runs at least one fire arm because of how good they are.
