Next major update needs to include a color editor.

It really is! She nearly matches Byte's Dog Jump and Cobra's Slither Dash!
In fact, after a bit of testing, her block jump is only shorter than Byte's Barq Jump by Barq's own height!

Lola and custom control remind me this game is (even more) amazing.
I popped Arms in to check out the update, and I was quickly reminded 1) I hate hoops and 2) I'm terrible at this game
Party mode's still a blast though. Maybe with Ranked only requiring level 1 Grand Prix I'll try a few matches. I always avoided ranked assuming I'd be destroyed worse than Party Mode...

Did 3.0 add new voice clips? I've noticed some from my mains that I've never heard before...
For example, Byte now has "Calculating Trajectory..." as a throw quote, which I hadn't heard.
Also, Lola's maniacal laughter when she picks up Hedlok is nightmarish.

I can't say I've heard that line before, but I haven't heard it myself.

In this video one can see the dynamics changing due to Lola Pop ability to move while blocking and how the game works with remapping the Block action to a button (ZL in this case).
At least see the fight against Master Mummy... since it's rather funny. XD

All of Lola's voice lines are golden. She's probably the only clown to ever actually make me laugh.

When I feel like ranked may be too much for me, I play against the AI on level 6 and have it so that matches can go up to six rounds. And if I win I get 9 points out of that. Then I go to party matches to get more points and see how I do... and then after that go to ranked. The method is working out... okay so far. I went from 7 to 9 yesterday. I could have went to 10 but went to a friends play to play some board games.
Players are decent I feel in rank 7 - 10. And they all feel like varying forms of level 6 AI, even though the AI is always on the mark when it comes to punches and grabs and stuff.
Truth be told, I want to join the league that this guy on Twitch has (http://schkrimpsquad.challonge.com/MLM2). I feel like I'd get wrecked though since I recognize some of them (I think?) from the other league he has, fight club. Those guys are all sorts of bonkers. But it'd be so fun to play them... XD
ARMS GAF should have its own league man =p

Yeah that'd be great. I'd also like some other single player content update, and a faster way to earn more Arms.
I've slowed on the game because of a lack of progression. Takes too long to earn fight money and get new arms... the game needs a speedier progression like Splatoon for playing online.
It's interesting you say that because Splatoon 2's progression is practically molasses depending on how far you want to go.

Will never understand the desperation to unlock the amrs, in this case it seems more a fault on the player's side than the game. The idea is to take some time experiementing with a set of arms and character combination, the user get coins from every activity he does in the game.
A user that is accuainted with the controls can get more than 20 ARMS per 200 coin session for what i' ve seen.
This is a competitive fighting game so a certain degree of patience and dedication is expected from the player.

Lola Pop is so great.
Man, I love this game. I really hope we get a more fleshed out sequel in a few years. I need this IP to continue.

Because the game is already low on content. The customization of arms originally seemed to be the way to increase different ways of play. I'm sure if you're good at Arms you can rack up the coins, but I get them slowly and get maybe 10-12 arms at a time. My fault? I guess, but the game might be more fun if I had more ways to play.
I'd feel better if I could just buy the arms I wanted to try with a character (or upgrade...). But instead not only is it random, but I have to play a dumb mini game for a chance at that random unlock. Fucking stupid.
I do like Arms but I hate the forced, slow ass progression system which seems completely unnecessary.
Finally took a break from Mario + Rabbids to check out the update. This game is still absolutely amazing. Lola is a lot of fun and I really like the Nunchucks. I want them for my Mechanica but alas no luck so far.
I was doing pretty good in party mode though. I got all the way down to 50% health before I lost in this four way match.

Another tidbit of lore has appeared:
Biff said:
Heh. I tried the 30 points level. Got 1 arm. Both times. I said I sucked
I used Barq and Byte and missed one target on my first swing, and that was that. Plus I've only gotten like 1500 points total up until now, and that's for one character??? At this rate I'll unlock them all right before Arms 3 comes out
(Well, it'snot like I'm bothering to actually try.)
Is there some character who's better at arms getter?

Maybe Byte and Barq? Barq does occasionally hit a target or two on his own.
Otherwise, everybody's pretty identical when it comes to Getter.
Barq doesn't show up in the Arms getter if I am remembering right.

I haven't played since pre Max Brass. Are the recent tunings substantial? Is playing with Twintelle still viable.
Did they nerf the AI? I used to completely rage on even level 4 hedloke but now I can sometimes perfect him. Like the only option originally was me playing really defensively vs him, which I hated because it relied to much on fast reaction, but now I can be a bit more aggressive when there is an opening. I honestly find springman harder than hedloke now.
Yeah, Barq wasn't there to save me. I think I misread an earlier post recommending getting good with one character. That probably refers to playing the main game with one character that you focus on getting extra arms for.
I tried playing as Lola Pop. I like the way she moves, but I can't get the hang of her arms. I need to unlock a few

My apologies for the bad information! I could've sworn Barq showed up in the Getter...
It's definitely not a bad idea to learn the ins and outs of one character and tailor your ARM Selection according to your desired playstyle! That said, I personally have taken the time to learn the rudimentary basics of each fighter barring Ribbon Girl, who I simply cannot get the hang of.
Lola's default ARMS are pretty odd to get used to, so I see where you're coming from!
Updates have improved the user experience a lot imo. Button mapping alone is by far the biggest improvement they could add to this game.
And I'd say Twintelle is still one of the best characters to use online. She's my main and I do fine with her most of my matches.

Just played through all the way of a level 6 grand prix while searching for a ranked game with no takers. Jesus this game is dead online. Such as shame
That is a shame. Admittedly I haven't played since Brass released.
Still, I don't think Nintendo will be too upset. For a new fighting gane IP, it seems to have done pretty well.
Ranked is a bit dead in the lower levels at least, no problems finding a room for party mode though.

Wondering when they're going to implement events, because that would bring some people back.

I finally did my first ranked matches! I won two and then lost the third. Somehow that got me to level 3. I can already tell I won't be able to progress very far with my style of playing. It's still really fun though! Interesting how people adapt to your play style after the first match.
This is my favourite game of the generation so far. I didn't even know I wanted a game like this until it was here.

Downloaded the update. Just behind the scenes tweaks?
Edit: I see a new stage called Sparring Ring
Edit: I see a new stage called Sparring Ring
don't know how, but I got a weird sound glitch where everything sounded much more low pitch than usual, such as bit and bark sounding like a killer robot, master mommy a lion and twintelle a seal... wanted to play with that glitch more but the update pushed me out.
Anyway, interesting to have a standalone new stage, so far all new stages where associated with a character.
