ARMS Global Test Thread

That's true, might've considered changing the whole system to be tertiary to just getting things up and running. Probably the Switch will get things added to its core OS over time just like the 3DS did.

Where the heck have you people been finding switch systems?

I know this thread was created by Mark "Waifu threads, 4am, LOL, visual novels and Gamergate is video games" Mann.

You got a problem with waifus, faggot?

Actually Mark seems unimpressed with ARMS, from the Direct thread a few days ago. It's probably some other nintendrone. That having been said, please make a good thread, we need them, and also I want to knock a shitty Digimon thread off the board so we can make a better one.

I got mine from a scalper who was only charging $50 above normal retail, primarily so I could sit on it and be the first in on CFW whenever it happens.

You're expecting somebody complaining about thread quality to follow their own advice and make good ones.

unfortunately i probably wont be joining for a few months, hopefully everyone wont be tired of it by then.

I have a feeling whatever early CFW-related holes that exist won't be patched by the time they start making a shitton for the holidays (probably the only time they'll make a ton of them), so I'll probably get one near then. I mean, it's not like they're currently making much progress, or many people have Switches even.

Most likely, though on the other hand Nintendo's been doing an awful lot of "improve user-experience" system updates. Ninty might be stepping up their game and doing bugfixes and patches before CFW even has a chance to take root nowadays; there's a reason I haven't been updating my system past the one that was mandatory in order to use SD cards above 32GB or so for some reason.

That's a good point, their holiday shipment might have a firmware they're confident in on it. On the other hand, they might miss something and with it likely being the biggest early shipment it's probably the second safest bet. Will probably take a while either way.

WHERE'S THE PORN?

No it's me, I just wanna play the game again to see if it's better without gay motion controls.

also it doesn't cost anything so fuck it, why not?

Mark, I recently found out I have similar genes to you, right down to the chesthair. Now isn't THAT quacking crazy!?

please don't post the picture, it's pretty gay.

It's so crazy though! I have extremely similar chesthair, it's so of spread like an eagle! I like your chesthair btw, very manly.

*sort of

By the way, you're Sephardic, correct? I'm unsure if you'd be part Ashkenazi, maybe.

pls respond

no. stop.

:( Why must you let me down, I just wanted to know more about the jewish side of my family.

I'm on to you (((user)))

You're just averse to any physical activity
The motion control seems pretty reasonable and intuitive for the game. Aiming punches will probably be the most accurate with it too. Only that punching super seems like a pain

Whatever could you mean, user? I didn't know it was Mark until after I'd added him.

check the IDs

I didn't buy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Friend codes aren't the only way of adding people though.

well the issue is that blocking and kovement are awkward.

you can also add em from Miitomo, which is kinda retarded.

more like NOSES thread

How, I don't use Miitomo because I don't play mobile games but more options to add are fine I guess.

But Mark is our greatest ally.

more like BLACKED, haahahah

Mark and all the Jews here are our honorary Aryans.

Kick out anglo saxons
Also, I got an idea for ARMS characters. It's a cute little monkey girl that uses her tail to punch, that a good idea?

i got my switch as a gift for my birthday before I get called a shill or something

I'll add you, just join me whenever in MK8. I don't mind. Marie best squid

...

yes, i think thats a fantastic idea

So how can players who aren't using the motion controls curve their attacks sideways?

The Happy Merchant shuts it down!

...

It's like annuda shoah!

Nah.

The Oy-est of Veys!

heard you use one of the thumbsticks to curve shots

Oh my god I love this so much. It's right up there with pic related. I love this generation of drawfags so much, I'm inspired

As much as anons have been retarded from the inception of Holla Forums I don't think the ones who would fall for the switch kikery in the CY+2 are actual anons instead of invading plebbit/funnyjunk/whatever so fuck off.

You're right. Mark should leave the board.
Give me the fucking board mark

It looks kind of fun, I'll check it out. I was going to shrug it off because I thought the motion controls weren't optional.

You're missing out on the one Nintendo monkey-related character who would be an actual fit for this game. I'm also the autist who wants Sukapon form Joy Metch Fight and the absolutely impossible because TPCi doesn't do crossovers Breloom from Pokemon

AW DUDE. HE WOULD ME /PERFECT/ FOR ARMS!!!

Almost forgot about it, nice to see someone remembers.

Succapon

...

Every single one of those comics and all their variants boils down to "NEVER DEBATE ANYTHING, ACCEPT EVERYBODY'S TASTE, ANYBODY WHO HAS STANDARDS IS AN ASSHOLE"

But their shit taste doesn't affect you even though them their trash opinions that they constantly vomit into the air are poison to anyone who isn't a fucking faggot.

I think if you weren't a sperglord you'd realize their subject matter was the brainless shitting on subjects you don't happen to like (ie console-warring, "shit thread sage" type responses, etc)

Yes they do faggot

Actually purging things you don't like is the one thing every successful community ever was doing during their days of success before they stopped and faced their immediate demise.
Heck the same thing happened to this very board on Holla Forums and also on cuckchan so I'll just assume you've only been here for a few months.

Yes.

also this

Blocking and movement are extremely awkward with motion controls, so it'll be interesting to see how the game plays without em.

This to be honest family

Please Mark just get people to post more pictures of Ribbon Girl, Nigger Bayonetta and that Noodles Woman with great legs

I can't force Holla Forums to do things famalam, it'll happen on its own.

Zoinks

I hope the controls are customizable. The placement of the punch/grab buttons are terrible IMO.

The one that takes place today is NA only yeah?
Any way for eurofags to play?

Would making an alt Nintendo Account with your country set to USA or Canada do the trick?

Already made a US account, hope it works

I played this game at Genesis 4. Its actually really good and I suspect will be another splatoon situation. The wakeup game has surprising depth to it.

best of luck user

it's on if anone cares

disgusting

cute mecha best girl

Just won like 10 matches in a row.
Still, it's harder than it looks, esp. with 3 and 2-on-2 battles

Is there only one song in this game? I need some variety.

I don't think I'd despise this game as much if I didn't know that this is taking massive amounts of work away from what could be actually good projects.

And you know they'll just keep putting work into this after its released, completely failing to improve it at all, taking away from good games they could be working on

These fucking controls on the pro are terrible. I punch with the triggers and have to do specials with the bumpers. Then The extra two buttons to move and jump. Its terrible but you can adjust.

Eh it was alright, although 3 man free for all is fucked and I have no idea why it exists instead of 4 man free for all.
Also guard with left stick button is fucking retarded.

I always forger there is even a guard.

Team matches suck because of that fucktarded tether. Who thought that would be a good idea? I main Ninjara and limited movement = fail

I liked it, can't wait to play the full version and the update content, the controls were better than I thought they would be, they felt unexpectedly responsive for motion controls, and the control scheme itself was surprisingly good, the only issue I had was that I sucked at the game. I still don't get some of the weapons though, does Helix's shield have a very limited distance, it was great for blocking attacks but it rarely landed, and I learned after playing that if you pop your rush just before any attack hits you it's instantly negated.

Pretty decent. Not sold on it yet because I only got to play for 30 minutes or so, but I'll be sure to check out the other test punches. Guarding with the L stick with Y and X for dash and jump are awful, but you can change that so I guess it doesn't really matter.

This. Got ass fucked hard because it always turns into 2v1.

I went from motion controls to controller and back to motion controls. The movement is definitely weird and inaccurate at first but after I took the time to get more used to it I improved.
It's still going to take more practice to get consistent results, but I feel its better than the regular controller setup for this game. Aiming your punches is limited and awkward otherwise.

Also was anyone else's lobby filled with japanese players?
And did anyone else curb stomp most of them?

Min Min with the heavy left arm is the fucking best, btw. In dragon mode it hits like a fucking truck and stuns to set you up for another punch or a grab. Her air kick/dash is also fantastic for maneuvering and closing in on openings, while also knocking away punches if you time it well. Wish I had more time to practice some techniques.

I'm looking forward to it.

someone make a tournament code for Holla Forums on mk8 just do it already

I'm from NZ and I just jumped on and it worked, i don't know why it worked since we are usually counted but there were loads of nips on too.

I liked 3 man because of how stupid it got, one match I hid behind a Ribbon girl fighting a Mechanica and then when she beat mechanica I just ko'd her and won, it was so stupid I couldn't stop laughing, I wish I could figure out how to change my target.

Motion controls were terrible. I went into handheld mode and they were better, but still pretty bad.

That's pretty cool even if the game and the console are shit.

Just rotate the right stick.

Enjoy not being able to independently aim your punches, retards

...

Also it's useless to grab or ult while you still have 2 opponents. Grabbing in particular becomes a merry go round.
I would usually move around a ton and try to find openings on the others while they fight. If you focus on one person for too long the other one comes to fuck your shit, so you just hit and run.

V-Ball also kind of sucks and doesn't have much to it even for a diversion. Regular and 2v2 are all I care about so far. They definitely need to think harder about alternate gamemodes.

Fuck off sonygger

I thought motion controls were great, what were your problems with them? I didn't try any of the other input methods though, but I didn't feel like I would have the need to try them, and I already have pro controller.

Good

It was okay. I was playing with motion controls the entire time, just so I could give how it was meant to be played a solid go. I was terrible until about the last 20 minutes and then it started to click with me and I won every match. Movement was very awkward, especially in the volleyball part. I don't know if I'd buy it new, but I might get it used or on sale. Also I kept hitting the damn snapshot button.

If you don't think this is good, what makes you think a different game they work on would be good? Or are you just salty because it's not "insert your favorite franchise here".

Or use any of the buttons

Can't play until later tonight, fucking japs, just release it worldwide on a given day, not time. It'll technically be tomorrow by the time I can play it.

How well does it play without the wiggle and waggle shit? I fail to see why anyone would use motion controls in a fighting game

But I like it in here.

Because you're literally limiting yourself using traditional controls just because you have a stick up your ass about the concept in general

I think I understand. I think Nintendo understands at this point that the only thing motion controls are good for is aiming. While I'm sure they created this to show off the fact that you have two basically-Wiimotes to do motion control things with, they realized that the punching is the part that required the motion because it's about aiming a shot. While I'm sure if this had regular controls it would do OK, I'm also sure that it would limit movement in the current state, probably requiring it to only allow one arm or shot. I also imagine at this point the only way this could be played well on PC is with a two mouse setup. In other words, they designed the game with motion controls in mind, and created something at least mildly interesting, certainly something that would be difficult to pull off otherwise.

It's not like this is a traditional fighting game. The mechanic benefits from it in an obvious way.

Anyway, the time I played with the standard controls just felt lacking since aiming your punches becomes a unified affair. Both punches are aimed with the same control stick.
The button layout is also weird, though I'm not sure if you can change that.

Are there any chinese knockoff Ninteno Suich yet?

Testing thumbnails

...

If you use FA you fucking deserve it.

That's what you get furfag

Its only a matter of time before they ban h8 chan too (the birthplace of trolls, racists, rapists, literal nazis, and trump supporters)

Just saying, Sony and Microsoft wouldn't get a free pass

And then there are people who constantly bring up the paid online if the Switch is so much as tangentially mentioned, adding absolutely nothing to the actual subject of discussion.

Since when was there an official browser on the Switch in the first place. Last I checked you still have to hack it and I doubt there would be a restriction when doing that.

Maybe they don't want kids finding porn

Why do you need to browse smut on your gay men console user is that why you bought it

That is true, what the fuck. I think the guy you replied to is cherrypicking and everything is locked down.

You do realize anything you say is void now because you're a furfag, right?
And don't try to say you're not, you totally are.

The switch doesn't HAVE a browser.

Really makes you think.

You shouldn't own a Shitendo device in the first place, they haven't made a good handheld since the original DS and they haven't made a good console since the SNES.
I'm not trying to be a contrarian, either. Actually take a look at their consoles.
The N64 didn't even have 400 games over its entire lifespan.
The GameCube had barely any good exclusives.
The Wii was mostly full of shovelware and had the same problem as the GC.
The Wii U also had the same problem as the GC but too an even bigger extent, except this time it regularly didn't get other multiplats the PC/XBONE/PS4 were getting.
I can't comment on the Switch as it's too new.

The main problem with every Nintendo console since the N64 has been a terrible case of nogames. Most of the good games are first-party, but because of a single company making the games that are often hit-or-miss it leads to the problem of their consoles only having 15 good exclusives throughout their life at most.

And? That's more than the others which are popular for multiplats which are better on PC.

Wait a minute, this isn't right

Post the bitch with a fat ass

FA could just be rendering the error token and message as returned by the device. Html access isnt a one way conversation you know

It does, it's just hidden. Not sure if you can still access it or not, but you could sneak into websites by selecting the option to link social media accounts from Settings and following links from Facebook/Twitter.

That's probably just icing on the cake, the most likely reason they built in a way to restrict websites is so they can block people from installing CFW via executable websites on their Switches the way hackers did with early builds of the Homebrew Channel on the 3DS. Still, that's super gay of Nintendo and I hope hackers still find a way to homebrew their Switchs via the web browser to get back at those gooks.

I have a 3ds which is just great, and wii u i never used much. I have a bunch of great games for it and the wii, i just… never had the time for it

The motion controls felt great, what the fuck are you on about

I sincerely doubt that, a message like that would be popping up as a status-message from the device's OS itself, same as it does for the 3DS and any other error returned by the Switch.

I'm calling bullshit on that pic. Furries love playing the victim card and crying about how "fursecuted" they are. Some fag probably shopped it for attention. Neither the Wii or Wii U browsers had content restrictions, so why would a system that doesn't even have a proper browser yet have them?

Guys, this pic is a meme. That's the same message that the recent 3DS ban wave has been giving out.

Let's get back on track. What characters were you fags playing and what did you think of them?

There I fixed it for you.

Not only that, but that's not how blocked content would look. Why would they load the entire page, including the header image, the footers, and news, but block the content in the middle of the page selectively? It makes no sense. Either they would do a URL block, a reverse DNS block (so you wouldn't be able to get around by using the IP directly or some alternate domain name).

That's how a website's own error message would be served to you, there is no way that an external block by a third party would be served in the site's own styles, and with much of the site's own content intact.
100% bullshit.

Also, just saying.
Panes in furaffinity aren't embedded pages.

Even if they were, frames and iframes don't inheret parent stylesheets. And even if they were, the same policy that blocks the embedded page would also block the parent page in which the child page is embedded, unless the people working the content block created a very specific policy for the website to ensure that the blocked people still see the website's style, header, and navigation links. It would have to be a deliberate decision to make it look that seamless, and would take a lot more work in any case, for literally no gain. Why would Nintendo care about making sure people see a specific error message in the site's own styles?

As an extra point, content blocks don't usually yield error messages and would not point you to a support site, and the wording indicates that the device's access to the internet is blocked, but somehow it was allowed to load the header image and the rest of the page.
It's a particularly bad fake. I wouldn't even bother pointing this shit out except it's so egregiously bad and a couple people here fucking bought it wholesale, one even pretending that "html access isn't a one-way conversation", which is not true unless you factor in javascript possibilities, and there is no standard to displaying error messages or for a user-agent to push error messages to a site either as its rendering or on request, as there would be no point. I'm a web developer, and there is no fucking reason you would program your website to receive and handle fucking browser error messages. That's not how any of this shit works. You send a request and you get a response. HTTP is chatty, but it's not that chatty.
It makes me fucking angry that somebody would even try to rationalize why a client-side error not visible to the site would be rendered in the page's own style.

I played Spring Man and Master Mummy, I think Spring Man was the better of the two, just thanks to the added mobility.

I couldn't play with motion controls. Playing with the Pro Controller is much more intuitive.
Also, Ribbon Girl + Sparky + Slapamander = best combo

archive.is/HRXYt

Eh, the motion controls aren't bad.

It's something that you have to get conditioned to, and it really doesn't take much time. I got it down roughly in about 3-4 matches.

It runs the same way with other motion control games. They take time to get used to, but so many just want instant gratification that they shit on something that doesn't help them win immediately.

Anyway, here's some things I learned.

1. Dash, dash, dash.
2. You can't move when you throw a punch, so plan accordingly.
3. Jumping goes great with dashing. Try it.
4. There is a block function. Feel free to use it.
5. Don't use it too often, or people will grab the fuck out of you. Basic fighting game concept.
6. Combine your ARMS and get some interesting shit done. Revolver + Whammer worked like a charm for me.
7. Are you losing? You're not dashing enough.
8. I imagine that Mechanica's crotch has a musky feminine smell for all the sweat she works up in between fighting and working on her robot, which turns me on for some reason.
9. If you use Spring Man, you're fucking basic.
10. Did I talk about dashing? If not, dash.

Ah, yes, "girl". Truly the most depraved of fetishes.

It amazes me how this game gets shit by casuals on shit forums like cuckchan right now.

Nintendo fags are OK with a fucking 1/10 shit game like Mario Kart where literally the better player can lose 90% the time due to RNG, so it's basically not even a game, just an RNG simulator.

But they shit on ARMS? Amazing.

Won like every single 1 vs. 1 in this demo. Was fun.

This game was incredibly fun. I used Min-Min and Master Mummy, and I did well with both. I don't think I'll pick it up on launch, but damn, it's incredibly fun.
If any anons have a Switch, def. try the demo. Might be worth your time.

I agree, though they really dropped the ball on demo gametypes besides regular 1v1.
-Targeting is awkward as all fuck which makes anything with multiple players a pain. I don't know why it doesn't make use of the bumpers on the joycon since that would actually be intuitive.
-2v2 is a cluster fuck of attacks because you're tethered so closely to your teammate that everything is funneled towards the enemy. I was excited for 2v2 since really cool combos and strategies could come out of it, but the tether looks to jeopardize that.
-V-ball is awkward as fuck in every way, from camera to physics of the ball.
-1v1v1 only somewhat works on Helix's map, but otherwise it doesn't fit the game at all. The movement and aiming aren't geared towards FFA.

I expect B-ball to a pointless grabfest as well, but the target mode might be fun.
So far 1v1 is the only mode to give a damn about. Hearing that other gametypes will be involved in the arcade mode worries me.
If only Nintendo was a company you could actually reach with feedback. I'm definitely going to pick it up, but these fuck-ups are disappointing.

I thought NeoGAF hated women that resemble women, what gives?

Is fighting Ninjara suffering to anyone else? Ribbon Girl too, to an extent.

Fag

...

Where are the lewds you morons?!
You think I come here to talk about videogames? I came here expecting one thing, and you fuckers didn't deliver!
I want my lewds!

Neogaf is secretly the biggest troll

Fucking NeoFAG.

Is it me or are ARMS, Splatoon (and maybe Mario Odyssey) sharing the same graphics engine or something? It feels like at least ARMS and Splatoon belong in a "series" so to speak of multiplayer only games just by the looks and vibes they give.

I like it, but at the core the game feels rather bland. It feels like it'll be getting real old real quick for a lot of us.

Maybe because you're gay

The fuck?

There's a final session (for May) about 4 hours from now.
Hopefully the last one is more stable, because the first session I got to play was the one 2 hours ago, and every single match ended early due to severe lag.

Let's play with each other with our arms :3 *lick*

Isn't this game kinda retarded? It feels like an Eye-Toy mini game. The whole meta of this game seems to be to spam jumps and dodges and try to grab your opponent.

And what's the point of this volleyball minigame with the random ball physics?

I really don't understand why Nintendo hypes this game so much and how people can be willing to pay 60 bucks for this. I hope reviewers aren't retarded faggots once in a while and give it the 6s and 7s it deserves. They even just gave Street Fighter 2 for Switch 6s because of the price and because it's rehashed.

No. You will not receive affirmations for your opinion.

Don't own a Switch, how is Arms so far?

What's the point of owning a handheld if you wont play it outside? Are you really some faggot that is so nervous being outside that you think people judge you just for playing videogames?

I don't like the game. It just doesn't appeal to me. I will say that the lobby system is really nice though. I wish more fighting game had a similar lobby.

Read the thread, user

Being able to play anywhere in the house is a big reason, but it is stupid to think you shouldn't play outside.

You've just been watching videos, haven't you?

Last round of the testpunch I didn't bother with motion controls and went straight to handheld mode. Dropped maybe 2 matches. Will be interesting to see this game's meta play out, hope it's gonna be deeper than 'dodge and grab' as that seems to be the most effective strategy in 1vs1 right now. Also Min Min is best waifu.

I'm pretty confident in the motion control setup, myself.

I should organize a tournament here.

look at her. she’s so happy. this is the happiest she’s ever been. shes fighting alongside her idols. shes living her dream. she deserves this.

protect mechanica please

I'm willing to bet Sukapon ends up in Smash this time, they're running out of chars otherwise.

I enjoyed my time playing during the testfire but I was kind of frustrated. I got worse and worse as the day went on. Today I just stuck to Helix and Mechanica, and it was just ninjas everywhere. I feel like my play style is more built around keeping distance and pelting from afar, but it's hard to hide when you're up against a rushing character.

I liked the game a lot though, I dunno ifit's another splatoon but it's probably gonna do alright.

What did you all think of it?

I struggled with motion the first couple rounds but the last two it really clicked and I didn't lose any 1v1's, and barley any losses in the other modes
wasn't a fan of the other control schemes after that

gotta play arms at a ninty stall in a con, fun as fuck, wrecked the guy with helix with a clutch at one health left. shame I didnt get to pull off a combo ult

Still can't buy a damn Switch, so nope.

They clearly want it to be another Splatoon, but I really don't think it has the potential. I keep saying it, but it feels like it should have been a pack-in title at release, they definitely shouldn't be charging more than $40 for it.

Moving with the motion controls still kept screwing me up.

Apparently I was too stupid to understand how to swap control schemes (I thought it was a setting I couldn't find) so I never got to try another play style

It feels way better than a pack-in game, only one that should have been pack-in was 1-2-switch

No, I just played it. Eye-Toy was already able to calculate when you move your left and right arm. And you can't even move your in-game fists up or down in ARMS, and moving them right or left mid-punch is also wanky and often doesn't work the way you want it to work.

Literally won every single 1 vs. 1 and all I did was jumping and dashing around randomly and throwing people.

And let's not ignore how all modes except for 1 vs. 1 is fucking 1/10 garbage.

It's not a good game. Period.

Oh boy.

And no, it doesn't. You are just confused by the flahy colors and colorful art style. It's literally Overwatch all over again: Shallow, low as fuck skill ceiling, no depth at all, horrible mechanics and modes you can't even pick yourself. They even got the cool ninja trope and little woman in big robot.

No one would give a shit about ARMS if it didn't have this flashy art style and "waifus".

did you actually play it? it sounds like you're talking out your ass. You can curve the fists up/down and I never had problems curving the arms where I wanted. Maybe you just suck? It sounds like you just watched videos of retards playing.
no shit, it's the random arcade mode, you'll be able to select any in the full game and i'd be very surprised if ranked is anything other than 1v1.
If you want to nitpick words so much, fine, it IS better than pack-in games. A lot better.

Feels good.

Tried it many times,fists always just went for the target, doesn't matter if the target is up in the air or on the ground or how I move the controllers.

Or I just have higher standards. The controls factually aren't very precise.

And if I suck, it just proves how low this game's skill ceiling is. I pretty much dominated every group during all the test punches despite sucking and not enjoying the game.

Wow, you are doing the only thing you can do in the game besides punching? That's fucking deep, man. You must be an elite pro.

You played the first public hands on beta of a limited version of a uniquely controlled game for at max 6 hours, with a fraction of that actually being 1v1, against people playing the game for the first time. Yet you think you can say anything about skill ceiling at this point?

Fine game, looks gorgeous as fuck, but it sorely lacks depth. I really hope the character selection will be more varied and that it will actually matter, instead of being able to use every weapon with every character and nullifying their weak points.
