What hype?

No one's playing it.

Splatoon

the game is shit

There was never any hype at all, user. Arms bombed horribly and nobody played it. It's shit.

No depth, waggle gimmick, and not a traditional 2D fighter.

cool idea, bad execution

I hate how much this shitty board rags on this game.
Every thread features the same retards
every time. Fuck this garbage thread.

It was an OK game that had a decent enough community stick to it.
It tried to be the next Splatoon and fell more flat.
It wasn't bad, it didn't flop, it just was a less special title.

More like Armzzz what a fucking failure.

ass destroyed

the game came out

ass blast usa

Did anybody ever give a shit about ARMS before release?

fpbp

Fighting game curse and Splatoon.
That and Arms doesn't have the room to grow and worldbuild like some other games, because the super power is stretchy arms and that's kind of it.
I can't bring myself to care who thinks Arms is a fighting game of not, but the same thing happened to it. It was fun for everyone starting out because everyone was flailing around, trying their best. And then as time progresses the meta sinks in, a little staleness settles alongside it as you see higher tier or powerful characters more and more often, and the casual base begins to erode, leaving behind only the dedicated, really.
Compare to Splatoon, it has a larger world to think about, it's team based so you have someone else to blame rather than face your inadequacy, it has Salmon Run for the PvE crowd, ways to play with lots of friends. Even enough of a story to keep the interest of a small speedrunning community. It also means more people gravitate towards Splatoon for their multiplayer fix now hat Arms is in its fighting slump.

>Hype
Nah man there was NO hype for this game for me specifically because its the remnants of the Wii era and Wii era Nintendo is fucking awful.

An actual Punch Out Sequel died because of Arms.

If the game were good, it would sell.

you don't have to waggle though. game is more fun without it.

I have no clue why but this post made me almost spit my drink out. Haven’t had a good laugh in awhile, thanks user.

It's a fighting game, they almost never get long lasting fans by nature.

It was a tech demo. Fun, but very shallow.

It did sell. Sold very well.

NOOOOOOOOO NONONONONO ITS NOT FAIR BROS IT CANT BE HAPPENING WHY DID ARMS FLOP BROS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO CHANGE FIGHTING GAMES AS WE KNOW THEM BUT IT CRASHED AND BURNED WHY BROS ITS NOT FAIR NOOOOOOOOO

never was any hype. game came out, they got their sales, so they stopped shilling. simple as that.

Don't do that.

Nothing killed the hype. Nintendo needed the manpower on other projects. Considering we have yet to see Fire Emblem and Smash is supposed to be due this year, they have bigger priorities.

It doesn't stay fun over many months like Splatoon. You only get 2 months of fun out of it.

Rectum ravaged

It sold well. People just stopped playing it.

It's still easy to find people who are just playing ARMS casually online though. Also, the characters are pretty well balanced. 11 of the characters are used by the top 20 ranked players and 14 in the top 50 with the last character being used by the 51st ranked player.

>ywn you're a switch owner who won't be tricked into buying arms
Seething
Start an arms general and see how long it last

look dude, people just don't like ARMS, accept it

People don't keep up with Arms. I didn't even know that it had new characters other than the clown girl until the last nintendo direct.

It looks like people playing it are either casual mashers or dedicated arms players. It did very good for a new arena fighter but the nature of the gameplay made it very stale. If the game had a faster pace or more mechanics it would have more lasting appeal. You can see the new players frustration with the slow attacks and approach with grab spam and random jumping. Doesn't look too entertaining but that was around the first few weeks.
