I can't remember when this happened, but all of their special abilities were previously revealed (minus Min MIn, of course). I believe Mechanica's ability is that she can hover in the air. Maybe she can do something else, too, but I forget. EDIT: Perhaps they were detailed in the Treehouse Live segment from the January 12th/13th event, but I'm not sure.

This game is lot more faster paced judging by the tournament video on YouTube.
Nintendo really need to show videos like those.

Blonde hair, orange clothes, loves ramen. Is she related to Naruto?
Master Mummy has a super armor on the ground and can also recover a bit of life while on guard.
Mechanica can hover while airborne and also has super armor while on air.
To be honest, I'm surprised there isn't a "ARMS has developed quite a fan art following...." thread already.

I have to say Nintendo has some of the best if not best artists in the game industry.
Its so good.

Considering that developers have the option to block off any mode, I don't think that's the main reason, I think the main reason traditional controls were included were to make the game more attractive to eSports players.

It was in the ARMS character video we got a few weeks back.

The talk in these bios of a Grand Prix, as well as Spring Man's bringing up a reigning champion, definitely seems to hint at an arcade/ladder mode where you battle through a series of tournament fights culminating in a "title bout" against the current champ.
That ought to work as a decent single player mode, though they could feasibly combine it with some of the other stuff like the get Arms mini game as part of a career mode too, which I think could be pretty fun.

I didn't realize they had an invitational.
Momochi shows up lol
(SFV player)
The first match was kind of funny since it was just Ninjara bullying the other guy with teleport and then punish.

Spring man most definitely seems to be low tier, Ninjara god tier of those playable and the rest somewhere in the middle. We'll see how the next batch of characters compete with him.
Now actually watching people that know how to play, the movement is really sick and fast.
I'm hoping there will be some neat combo stuff demoed in the invitational.
EDIT:
I think Momochi already using the electric fist tech?
I can't tell :v
Anyway, he's making his opponent look completely free.

I wonder if using specific arms can make a seemingly low tier character better.
Or will they just Nerf Ninjara lol.
I feel like he's already a fundamentally good character because of his ability to block and then teleport while blocking...
(with possibly a few vulnerable frames after the teleport, but they're setting this character up to be someone that can punish after the teleport, so who knows?)
Given my understanding of the game, that already covers a lot of options (all you would have to look out for is throws)...
But I'm not sure since we don't actually have the game yet :v
Calling it now, even if Ninjara or another fast character ends up being the best character in the game, I'm fully expecting more people in the OT to be complaining about Master Mummy and other slow characters for the first month or so. Seems like that's how it always is with fighting games.
What a coincidence: I called this too :v
That said, Momochi does show case something that leads into a guaranteed super... trying to figure out what it is lol
EDIT:
Yeah, he hit with that triple hand thing, a red marker came out, then the other guy ate the full super animation.
EDIT EDIT:
Maybe?
I'm not sure. It's possible the other guy just stood there like an idiot and ate the thing lol

I don't expect this game to be balanced. Nerfs will happen.

If your gonna play this at a tournament do they have to use the split-screen setup? You can't have two Switch consoles connect to each other so a player can have their own screen?
I am pretty sure they'll implement this. We've already seen it mentioned for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2. I think it will be implemented for every multiplayer Nintendo game.

Yellow means that arm has taken damage (you can see the amount of time it takes to recharge from caution state to normal by the amount of yellow in the indicator). Red means disabled. You can actively attack enemy arms to get them in that state and certain arms do it better than others (like Slapamanders).
Dabuz talks about how having an arm busted limits movement actually:

I feel like the tourney vids and the vid above are the first things we should actually look at as opposed to like the promotional stuff lol
You can tech roll on wakeup too... there seems to be a lot of options.
EDIT:
Talks about how Ninja is busted and it's why he used it in tournament lol

Well I didn't see anyone playing Spring Man actually use his parry ability, which is likely key to actually succeeding in high-level play, so it's probably too early to judge.
I'm surprised no one really talked about it since it's like 2 months old.
I don't think a topic was ever made for the invitational specifically, but there was an extra topic some time after the reveal that included more footage and analysis from the Switch preview events and so on which included a lot of this information. I think that topic, like the game's depth in general, went rather overlooked by most folks.

I think people are wondering whether a game based almost entirely on keeping distance and moving side-to-side can be exciting to look at.
Same. I was meh on recent footage but now it's much more clear this is a fighting game after watching these vids. It's way faster than I originally thought it would be.
Right, my point is just that there's already been videos and topics discussing the game's pace, tech, watchability, and viability...and those resources generally go overlooked in lieu of continuing to ask those already-addressed questions. There's not been a single ARMS topic that's gone by without multiple people wondering whether the game has online play or not, despite it being confirmed literally during the game's initial mainstage reveal.
Part of this is a problem with Nintendo's messaging for the game, to be sure, but even on this site there's been a lot of inattention to detail, willfully or otherwise. I don't think another topic showing the old invitational video is going to change any minds here, I guess is my point.
