ARMS VERS.5 LIVE: WE SHADALOO NOW BAYBEEEE EDITION

People still play this?

Already looks 100 times better than the generic evil bitch from Overwatch.

bruh

Kind of unrelated, but evil/antagonist females getting their cum-uppance really turns me on. Thank God for Rance. Anyone got other eroges that do this?

Credit where credit is due.. ARMS is consistently and rapidly building up a strong roster of unique and interesting characters at a rate I didn't really think they would. I figured they were going to stop after Max Brass, but they kept going and gave us Fetish Clown and Aztec dude, and now Dr Crazytits.

Too bad I don't have a Switch.

This tbh.

Go to bed, Dobson.

Why is it that Nintendo can continually update stuff like ARMS and Splatoon and fucking nail the online-games-as-a-service model without fucking up but they still use amiibo shit to content lock basic things in single-player games?
I'm still mad Mario Kart has stopped receiving updates. New battle courses and some new retro cups seem like no-brainers but they've abandoned it.

Splatoon has amiibo and they're still hotgluing all the arms amiibo

No doubt saving those for Mario Kart 9, with enhanced performance for Switch DX :3

They prolly moved the team working on it onto a new game. Mario Kart Wii didn't have updates and it survived up till the death of their online service.

It's ingenious with the way things are with online microtransactions today, EA fucked up the bed and got the government involve, Nintendo can just say these are toys with the incentive of in-game content that can be unlocked, with just cosmetics and not pay-to-win to weasel their way out.

Probably because they make want they want (and what fits with the lore of the game) and don't have to pander to or change character background details because of obsessive fan demands.
Remember Blizzard cancelled that OW comic/graphic novel because it would have conflicted with the fans ideas of the characters instead of Blizzard's own.

I think the Mario Kart team is the ARMS team (or at least has Yubuki as the producer of both and some staff overlap). They probably had a smaller team fix up/port over MK8 Wii U to become MK8D Switch while the rest of them worked on creating the fighting game prototype that would use the Joy-Cons and became ARMS.

Why does nintendo make waifus and lolis so well? fucking arms, splatoon, poke girls. hot damn.

Looks like a fucking tumblrina

Because games that receive updates and new content after they're released aren't really getting new content, it was content planned beforehand and allocated for. Think of it less like post release content, and more like the game is Early Access.

Best example is Paradox games. They have a short dev span and receive loads of updates and DLC after they're released.

GEDDOUDA HEAR DAHBSUN!

nice, how long til porn? i like her hips.

WE ONLY APPRECIATE ONE SET OF HIPS IN THIS HOUSE YOUNG SASSY CHILD

It's fucking nothing.

Mario Kart 8 is different.

The only real issue with Amiibo is it's incorrect handling, Breath of the Wild is mostly fine, it's mostly cosmetic outfits although it should have been limited to alternative version of outfits like the Tunics and the Sheikah headgear, Epona was fine, the Wolf Link shouldn't have locked off the Wolf dungeon in Twilight Princess, and you should have been able to tame a Wolf in Breath of the Wild, but the Wolf Link Amiibo should have given you Wolf Link specifically as well as allowing you to boost it's hearts based on your end heart score in the Wolf Link Dungeon, The cosmetic outfits that are locked away in Mario Kart 8 are fine too,

A bunch of Arms devs are from Mario Kart 8.

Hold up, ability changes? I don't see any details on that anywhere.

is she some kind of super villain?

The only changes are a bunch of arms getting nerfed or buffed.

How do I git gud at Arms, when I am shit at all fightan games?

...

It's about fucking time. Love that they're just moving on from the poison element.

ARMS is barely a fighting game, and it's easy to pick up. You'll figure it out. Most likely, avoid using joycons - it's fun as fuck, but being able to aim and win is much more fun.

Be aggressive. Every near-miss that scrapes your opponent's arms gets you closer to disabling and punishing them.
At the same time, stay mobile, it's better to get around an attack and retaliate than to play rock-paper-scissors. Don't jump unless you need to or your character benefits from it (like Kid Cobra or Ribbon Girl) because if your opponent's paying attention you'll just get bopped when you land.
Like said don't throw out both hands. There's a time and a place but usually it just slows you down and leaves you open to counter attack. It's particularly bad when kiddies toss out a Dragon and give you an hour to retaliate.

I really wanted to fight my way through Ranked but it pretty much died by the time I was ready. Has the game gotten any more life injected into it? Last I played was the Spring Man VS Ribbon Girl event.

Am I the only person who has more trouble using the analogue stick than aiming the joycons? I mean, first off, you can't control both arms simultaneously with the stick, or punch in one direction and walk in the other, so there is a direct disadvantage. I just do not have a problem rotating my wrists to steer, and I really do not get why it is treated as a fact that using "traditional" controls is better when there is a real, factual downside to them.

Yes. Didn't you watch the trailer?

A bit off topic but why are Doctors always evil in fiction? Most people who become doctors/scientists specifically do it because they have a passion to help people. I mean, why else would you go to college for 8 to 10 years for relatively shit pay and hard hours?

Fuck off

People abandoning faith and morality for knowledge and worldly gains is an old meme. It used to be that the church of Christianity was one of the gatekeeper or knowledge as it contributed much to science and reason while tempering it with faith, but people began to move away from that especially in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century where there was an effort to divorce reason from god. The concept, however, was explored much earlier. Faust which was written in the sixteenth century is an example of the consequences of the divorce of morality and knowledge.

Even Franken Fran tackles the concept of god or the lack thereof.

And it's never not retarded.

Yeah alright but where's the porn at.

Oh boy, I love Dresden Codak!

The guys a faggot but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

On one hand a lot of writers do it poorly cause they go "lol god" but on the other we have what's happened with the humanities nowadays so it's not that it wasn't at least in some way prophetic.

But humanities are also nothing at all like Science. Humanities is for people too dumb for math and colleges know it's a shit degree so don't take it seriously.

Humanities, especially philosophy, can be useful. Nowadays it's not because it's full of crazy leftists marxists and unfortunately they have influence in public policy.

It can be useful as a hobby but not as a career. No one should get a job being a "philosopher" and get paid for it.

It's mostly seen in Japan because, for one thing, I believe they absolutely hate Einstein's guts, so seeing him or similes of himself depicted in most of Western media as the cool (((german))) scientists helping the gang just made them want to make evil version of him. Something else about doctors in Japan that I've seen a lot in media is that they tend to be very nepotistic and greedy with their profession, having families devoted to just holding more and more doctorates, meaning nips perceive them as a caste of unscrupulous researcher willing to work for the highest bidder in whatever Mengelesque treatment their investor sees fit.
Also, Franken Fran is fantastic, what a shame that it's over.

Maybe they hate Einstein because if it wasn't for him, they wouldn't of been nuked.

They probably hate him because he's a fraud like every other sane person.

It looks like a jojo copy. Fitting for a shit game.

...

This may just be me, but I actually had more trouble punching straight ahead with joycons. Curving's easy enough but for some reason my punches would always veer to the side.
If you can handle the joycons then power to you, but the benefits aren't all that great - you have to dash to move when punching anyway, so it's a simple flick of the stick to get moving.

tl;dr joycons are great but only if you're not retarded

Come to think of it too there's no shortage of scandals in the hard sciences as well. Climategate was fairly recent too.

It's a European thing. It's prominent in Japan is because copies Europe. It's actually common for families to have a lot of members who have doctorates because of nepotism (I've seen plenty of cases of family members given opportunities to work in research) and because colleges are often biases towards family members of accomplished students. Smarts do run in the gene pool after all.

joycons also allow you to do wide grabs easier

Haha

Who's your favorite Rick and Morty guy?

Nigga, Humanities is useless as far as jobs are concerned. Do you really think our tax dollars should go to arm chair philosophers and women studies majors?

That's generally BS the media makes for clicks. Every month there is a new "cure for cancer" or whatever discovered being suppressed and kikes really want to push the vaccines = autism thing.

It goes to them regardless, my dude.
Speaking of pharmacology that field is rife with corruption. Data falsification to get grants which aren't given much oversight. Not that many drugs go to market either since due to regulations it costs several billion so a lot of drugs rereleased under new names at greater prices to finance them.

With that name it should be it's own original ARMS fighter that can duke it out with the likes of Hit-Ler.

c'mon

Thanks, doc.
