That will always be there. It's random select, not an unlockable character.
Max Brass is DLC.

Max Brass is DLC.
you can throw a ramram almost in a straight line too so there's thatDashing backwards or forwards at the last minute has always worked for me, but the timing is very tight. I suppose jumping would work too, but I don't really do much of that with Spring Man.
You're probably better off blocking instead, but mapping that to L3 is fucking dumb and I hate using it
one thing that annoys me to hell is the guard dash. why does the attacker still have frame advantage when you guard dash. when it's called counter it should be a counter meaning the attacker shouldnt have time to dash again. ffs
also fuck slapamanders

Am I the only one playing this game solo only ? I am really liking it. Also it is weird for a new IP but this game evokes a strong sense of nostalgia for me. I don't know if it is the Osamu Tezuka visual influence, or the small number of stages and characters coupled to the fresh take on the genre but I am the 13 yo again me playing Street Fighter 2 when I play ARMS.

I feel you. It's really satisfying...
... until I hit a temporary gpu roadblock in Grand Prix. Then I log on to party mode just so I can feel like I am good lol.
Noticed there are little tick icons you get on the character select screen when doing the 1 v 100 mode. Beaten it with all the characters except for Master Mummy, it's really difficult with all the fire type gloves knocking him down, especially the revolver and phoniex gloves. Then Hedlok with 6 Megatons ...
I apologize if I wasn't clear, but yes to goremagala talking about the yellow caution sign on your arm, how long before the yellow caution sign goes away, and arm is normal.
My question was: how long does it take to recover? Is it a regen or full recover?
They need to sort out the AI in this game. I put myself against a level 6 Spring Man as Ninjara, with infinite HP, no timer, no rush gauge and no items. Could barely land a hit over ten minutes.
I used to do a similar thing in Soul Calibur 4, and could always put up a great fight against the Edge Master CPU. Here I can't do shit.

Yeah I've never gotten guard counters to work reliably. Maybe I'm just too far, but 9/10 my hits never land. I've abandoned blocking altogether anyway, at least until they let us map it to one of the shoulder buttons.
Been on a good run today, so starting to climb in rank 9. My current loadout with Ninjara is Cracker / Seekie / Parasol and I feel they give me plenty of options for different scenarios atm. Seekie is good at disrupting the opponents rhytm, since it's one of the hardest arms in the game to just ignore, you always have to play around it. Explosion into guaranteed 400 damage super is nothing to laugh at either.

lol yeah I went through LV 5 GP without too much problem, decided how I could do on LV 7 GP and couldn't land a single punch! I eventually got some in, but still got destroyed.

Okay so if the Japanese Helix had a slow play style consisting of big hitboxes and high priority, what does my Helix style consist of, speed and quick jabs when the enemy is vulnerable?
And evasion, and building up to your first super as early in the first round as possible.

Has anyone figured out how rank matches get determined? I'm Rank 5 and haven't gotten matched with anyone below 8, it's always between 8 and 10. Rank 6 is the highest I've achieved. So, either the algorithm needs some adjusting or I'm the only person ranked this low.

I think if it can't find anyone it finds the next best thing

Hmm. I'd rather just play Grand Prix while waiting for someone closer to my rank. It is what it is, though.

It kinda feels like SFII or Punch Out to me in the sense that you have to learn their patterns strengths and weaknesses and you feel like you beat a character rather than a mindless AI. At least starting at rank 4 difficulty.

Is that what we're calling THOSE people that prevent entry or staying in a rank?
That's what people were calling me while Jorpen was getting to 15, the max rank gatekeeper (and secretly Mr. Yabuki himself apparently).

Had a great ranked match even though I lost. I got bodied in the first round, but figured out a tendency of the opponent, so I adjust my game and dominate in the second round but towards the end of the second round I can see he/she is starting to catch on. Then the third round comes down to the wire and basically who executes better. The best games are where the play is evolving over the course of the match.
This game is a great standard bearer for what can make fighting games fun, a genre I probably wouldn't have touched before but I definitely have more interest in now.

I don't think there are that many tournaments right now.
This is easily my favourite fighting game. No weird stick and button combinations to memorize. Skilled punches and movement are the name of the game here.
When I beat someone, it's because I outclassed their movement and overcame their punches.
When I get killed by a grab spammer, it's because I didn't react/punish correctly (angry me will say otherwise lol).
So fun. Can't wait to play some more tonight. Party Mode has definitely grown on me. Less sweaty than ranked for sure. Managed to get to +5 earlier. Starting a round with 75% less health and still winning is an awesome feeling.

Lack of some live stream app on the Switch OS doesn't help.

This is probably too vague to give anything other than general advice. What arms do you like? What's your usual play style? I don't think I'm good enough to give any great advice but if you ask something more specific I'm sure some of the better players here can help you.
I'm not that familiar with Twitch, but I guess the general buzz with the streamers and players can make it on Twitch
It doesn't stop Smash, Splatoon or Pokkén in the Wii U
I use the standard shocking glove that Ribbon Girl uses, the triple shock glove that Mechanica uses, & the sideways triple shot glove that Spring Man (thought it was Ninjara) uses. I usually try to charge up my gloves so I can shock the enemy & grab them, unless the plan goes off the rails. As for supers, I try to use them as a means to counter their punches.

Electric arms are usually the slowest in class, triblast is slower than tribolt.

I'm having a lot of fun as a casual player. My girlfriend (who has 0 interest in games) is also somehow magically into it. We were out and about in Seoul today and whenever we were on the subway she kept asking to play it. Thanks Nintendo, you've managed to get to me to accomplish something that I've been trying the past 2 years to do.
Agree It's a really fun game, I can't stop playing it!

In the grand scheme of things, neither the character nor ARMS matter, it's the player behind it all. That's no insult to you, EVERYONE, including myself, could always use improvement. I know something common people do is strip the game to the very basics with Spring man or B&B with basic gloves like toasters and end up forcing themselves against many match ups and scenarios like that until they become good at it in general. Once they've got the fundamentals down, when they finally come back to the characters and arms they want, they'll be new and improved and a brand new person.
This is assuming you're seeking self improvement of course.

It's really meant to be a multiplayer game in that regard. Fighting game AI (outside of Smash Bros and its ilk) has always been punishing and sort of unfun.

Ninjara players are the worst.
Every time I come across one I pray it's not another grab spammer. It's too bad because he's actally really fun to play against when the other person isn't being a butt.
Me too. I can feel myself getting swole.

Twintelle with a Guardian and ice glove is super fun.
Ok, I think playing with a Guardian is fun in general 😍

Dude, my arms have always been super weak, and they are feeling very heavy these last few days. Give it a month and this game will help my arms get into their best shape in my life.

I can relate. My arms are basically noodles, like Min Min's.
First couple of days playing this I had trouble sleeping because my arms were hurting too much.
The guardian arm is maybe the most annoying one.

I should block more often. I always forget you don't have to try to dodge everything.
