ARMS

So uh... is anyone going to talk about the update tomorrow? I haven't seen any threads lately.
twitter.com/ARMS_Cobutter/status/930631953308573697
> New character
> New stage
> New ARMS
> New Attribute
> New Mode

...huh, I guess it really is dead.

the new character looks fun so far. New stage should be nice, but I'm more curious about the new mode.

>implying Sup Forums plays fighting games

I was going to make a thread, but then I thought about waiting until the update comes out and there's stuff to talk about. Poison attribute probably works the way you think it does. The new character looks like he has that little spirit guy who probably switches from an offensive mode that shoots projectiles and a defensive mode that protects him. Basically like a mix of Max Brass and Byte and Barq maybe?

I knew we'd get the update this month because a new character comes every two months. The next one should be in January.

...

Im actually hype for this. Even that im one of the 1% who still play this game

Of course it is dead. It was a tech demo to play between Zelda and. Mario.

The new mode better be some sort of single player survival.

Have they actually shown the character or is it just the hints I'm seeing on the Twitter?

I'm down to check it out. I've been meaning to sit down with ARMS again.

Haven't played it since launch, gonna log in tomorrow to check out all the new stuff.

No one cares. Looks like Arms didn't have legs after all!

can you still find matches?

There's not really much to talk about until it actually releases. All we can really do is speculate.

I am looking forward to it, though. Haven't played since July, but it'll feel nice to play it again with this and the 3.0 ver.

There's already 1 vs 100 or do you mean a survival mode with the characters?

There's still a lot of people playing the game. Doesn't take long to find people to play with.

Just hints and speculation.

>it's another 2 characters of the entire roster are playable and most of the weapons are useless so it's either meta up or get fucked

Nintendo cannot balance video games worth shit. Splatoon 2 is a fucking disaster right now.

Then I think it's safe to say ARMs is a success I thought the online would be dead by now.

Arms is well balanced or about as well balanced as it possibly can be though and personal skill matter more than what characters and arms you're using. People will play certain characters with certain arms more often just because they think it's better when it's not necessarily better.

They should probably nerf electric type arms though. Make it so you can't use your arms but still have normal movement speed.

ARMS will be my first game when I get a Switch. Looks like one of the most fun fighting games out there.

The game actually sold a lot and is still really popular, but you don't see people talk too much about it outside of the updates because there really isn't much to talk about.

you will instantly regret it, can promise you i'm not memeing. if you need to get a switch fighting game then get pokken

I played Pokken on Wii U and it's shit.

You got the games mixed up there, boyo.

the majority of splatoon 2 weapons are viable, looks like you either need to stop being a scrub or stop trying to play blatant bottom tier shit like gootuber

like i said, if you need to get one. switch has no good fighting games as of now

I think that the spirit has three different forms representing an attribute. (Fire, Electric, Ice). It attacks when you are shielding. After the attack, it changes attribute

Take your kiddy shovelware back to plebbit

ARMS is great

Only if you are nintentoddler or underage
Its shit

i'm sorry but it just isn't. i believe in it before release, but it's just not a good game

2 dumb niggers in the thread. SAD!

who cares

I haven't even played it, what are the games flaws?

1. it's a new IP so I can't call it rehash
2. it's fun so it's not mature
3. it's colorful so it's for toddlers
4. it's on a console I don't own so it's automatically shit

repetitive
some arm combos are just flat-out annoying to deal with
some arms are just shit
if you're high ranked you find the same few people online because of regional matchmaking
lag happens often regardless of regional matchmaking
some characters invalidate other characters with that anyone can use any arms
minigames are not fun
only four colours for all characters, nothing exciting. no extra costumes
very little combos. calling it a fighting game is laughable
snake park
the small community it has is toxic and very "smash bros" if you get what i mean
too expensive for what you get

literally who the game

How is Arms repetitive but every other fighting game isn't?

arms has one move
fighting games have many, many more

>arms has one move
so you never played the game. gotcha

I have watched enough SFV to know this is bullshit.

Literally playing it right now because this thread reminded me of it. One move: punch
Even Smash is more interesting

>One move: punch
lol just like every fighting game then

how do you win at Hoops just punching?

I need to get back into ARMS. I haven't played it Since the Max Brass update. How's Lola Pop?

That isn't true even for the most basic man in fighting games

>so uh...
Just make the goddamn thread, no need to develop a persecution complex about it. Almost every thread here is started by someone who didn't see one in the catalogue, what do you think, it's someone else's job to post about your game?

Is the new character the dumb Metal Springman? Not really interested

What about grab? And super? And all the twists and curves you can throw punches with? And charging punches? And unique stuff like SM's parry, Min Min's supercharge, and Helix's crazy movement? All the various movement options? Instant parry attacks?

What a damn shame. Splatoon really killed this game, huh. I love the hell out of arms and play frequently, but even I didn't know about this update

Lmao, guess it's time to pretend to like this game again.

No, it's some guy that has a ghost on his chest or some shit. Metal Springman is a super NPC that can show up during grand prix

Badges made the game so much better. Even without trying I've padded out a good bit of my main's arms

She looks fun as fuck, but I can't play her to save my life. Adding in badges was the best update ever, it gives you goals to work for and each comes with free coins so grinding ARMS is faster and feels more rewarding.

You sound like one of those people who blames tiers when you lose. Git fucking gud with someone no one has match up experience with and clean shop

And it's not true for ARMS. your point?

>post count didn't go up for either of these
So just 3 shitposters that are really dedicated? Every thread is the same shitposts. "ded gaem", "toddler", "wiiboxing". There, I saved you all some time, fo shitpost in an Odyssey thread.

what makes the nzap so broken now?

Nothing, really. Pro still has better range and power, NZap is just a scrub stomper like the slosher and aerospray.

>user explains in detail why the game is shallower than even the most shallow fighting games out there
>L-lol who cares!
Why do we have so many blind Nintendo apologists on this board? Has Reddit completely taken over Sup Forums? Sure feels that way.

Is Octobrush still good? Haven't played in a while.

He didn't explain anything because evwrything he said was untrue.

Care to explain or are you just going to call him names without adding anything yourself? Having played the game I instantly recognized (and agreed with) many of the problems he mentioned, namely the lack of variety between the characters and very low complexity.

How do the badges work?

>>One move: punch

The ARMS community is one of the friendlier fighting game communities and we actually strive to make it that way.

They're basically like an achievement system. There's a ton of them and you can get them from doing things like playing or winning a certain number of matches, playing different kinds of matches, using different control arrangements, etc. Each badge you get awards you some coins and you have the option to pin it to your profile which shows up when you're in a lobby.

Press ZL repeatedly to pay respects

ARMS is fun but I literally can't stop playing Splatoon 2

Aero wasn't a scrib stomper, it was pacifist mode.
Then baller got buffed and Aero got nerfed.

It’s a shame the game didn’t catch on like splatoon did, it has really fun and interesting mechanics

Character variety starts to matter a lot more once you've played a while and get used to the controls, all of them feel different. As for complexity, you're right, it isn't that complex (as long as you play defaults). However, that means it's very "read" heavy and that's my jam

>unironically squidbagging

Grow up

There is a lot of variety between characters, so I have no clue what you are on about. The balance is fine, it was only an issue at launch. Claiming it has low complexity shows you are a low tier scrub who doesn't understand the game. As for the "only 1 move" shit, see

Over a million sales for a brand nee fighting game IP is "not catching on"?

I could argue that the balance needs a bit of work, some characters flat out stomp others at high level play, and others have to work much harder to be relevant. I'm a mummy guy so ranked is a long ass climb

Tiers still exist in any game, it is just how important they are ingame. A high level mummy can still contest a high ribbon girl, it is just a rough fight for mummy. And props to you for sticking with it. I am a Mechanica main myself, so I know the heavy struggle. We have been getting some good buffs.

big dick

Why the fuck are they just going to sneak the character in out of nowhere? At least give the guy a trailer or something, it's jarring when fucking Lola Pop got one.

Fucking this.
I fucking love arms and Lolas trailer hyped me up when that popped up. Why wouldn't you make a trailer for this shit?

It is a lot of fun bro do it. Pokken is a port and will die before ARMS.

The support for this game has been really good. I know Sup Forums likes to meme on it, but it really has been a great little game. These updates have kept me popping back in pretty often

any weapon is good unless you're the one using it

I wish they told you in game what you had to do to earn the badges. It being a crap shoot really ruined what would've been a feature that kept me playing more often cause I want my twewy pins

How much would y'all say this game is worth
Because $80 is a pretty steep asking price here in leafland

It's pretty neat but I guess I can understand why people got tired quickly with those wonky movement options.

You could always google a list. Not an excuse, just a solution.

Only Japan has retained interest in ARMS & Splatoon.

Wouldn't be surprised if the sequels are region exclusive.

>Only Japan has retained interest in ARMS & Splatoon.
why lie?

Why accuse me of lying?

Because I have both games and neither of them is close to dead.

>Only Japan has retained interest in ARMS & Splatoon
>Splatoon
that's an egregiously stupid claim. Arms still does alright too

People don't talk about it because there's nothing to talk about, but I play a few hours most days because it's fun to kick back. People meme about only being able to punch, but the actual punching is much more involved and adaptable than say hitting punch in SFV.

>People don't talk about it because there's nothing to talk about

Yep, no character is broken enough for people to bitch about and there's no story going on either, just a game to pick up and play.

i didn't get into games to "play" them, you pleb
