This is probably a bizarre question but does anyone know if there are any video tutorials that show how you're supposed to be moving your fucking hands in motion controls. I can't figure out if I'm just totally incapable or am overdoing or underdoing movements.
Yes. And it feels like it has more range than any other arm.
If you block an attack and immediately follow with a forward dash you'll perform a parry. This knocks the Arm to the floor for a longer recovery period than just normally blocking. You also gain an auto-parry for maybe a half-second if they happened to attack with a second Arm immediately.
Arms Guide and Arms Tips
I would love to see the time extended or even removed (in ranked). I feel when I play skilled players it almost always goes to time.
He already has that. It's called the Megaton. I think Master Mummy is decent. He forces you to attack, which means you're vulnerable if the Master Mummy is good. The issue is that you have to be able to read grabs because against a good Master Mummy I'm rushing him down and mixing up between point blank grabs and single punches. If Master Mummy reads well, I lose. If he doesn't, I win.
I think the Ramram is better than the Coolerang and Chakram. You get more damage from the Ramram. Coolerang is nice for the ice effect, but against a good opponent you won't get much of a follow up. I prefer to get the extra damage.
I've beaten him up in ranked and he stayed, so maybe he just didn't like how the match played out? He definitely doesn't leave after a loss in my experience.
If I knock the opponent off the board it's an instant win for me. Like... I feel bad. I just rush them down and they can't hit me at all because the board blocks everything. I don't like the stage at all. I think it's the worst stage in the game by far.

ARMS sequel needs to have uppercuts so you can hit airborne opponents easier. Also love the lobby system in here especially when you die in a group match and just go straight to the lobby instead of watching the others finish.
And shit, my arms are tired as hell.....haven't been this tired since Wii Sports lol!

I just bought the game and am trying to play with the motion controls/Joycons style. But the movement is driving me nuts, everything else controls great, but actually walking around the map I keep accidentally guarding or walking the wrong directions or it doesn't quite work right for me.
Is playing with a pro controller an obviously inferior method due to lack of punch steering from what I hear? Will I have a legitimate and huge disadvantage because of it?

I like it because even against good players it allows you to apply pressure rather than just going for the hard knockdown. Plus it's only 10-20 less damage, I think?

I know the cracker does more damage than the popper but is one of them faster?

Echoes of early vanilla Marvel 3. Back then, there was a small movement to increase the damage level beyond the default, since matches kept ending in time outs. We all know what ended up happening.
Basically, once people get good, time outs will become less of a thing.
I think the reliance on vocals is a bizarre choice. It would be fine for like the final boss.

I think time outs will still be a thing, like boxing.
I think its a legit tactic though, as infuriating as it is.
This is me. I'm doing better online than in Grand Prix level 4 at least...
The vocals are the best part though.

Motion controls are legit. Can't imagine playing with conventional controls at this point.
Spam double multi shot arms and just jump and attack.
Eh, Helix can kinda just do that. Punches clipping through Ribbon Girl though.... man, fuck Ribbon!

They are fast, fire and wind element each, and they are great for slapping folks out of the air.
I only tried them for an hour, but they are best, IMO, against people who dodge repeatedly left and right, especially when airborne.
I will get some more matches in later and see if they hold up in ranked.
I feel like Cobra and Twintelle's stages are the worst. Both have undestroyable obstacles, no coincidence there.
Prepare for that to change.

J/k its still great.
I do fine online, I'm a free win on gaf lobbies >.>

Has it been determined if you can do a wide grab with a pro controller?
Cobra stage is dumb in a fun way, twintelle's I like because the cars are actual cover

Your pretty much fucked on Skatepark if your opponent traps you while riding on the disc. There's no escape.
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
Don't think you can.
There is a video somewhere showing that you actually can. Seems kinda complicated though
So his hit box is messed up? Because he wasn't in puddle form or anything.

You can, but it's hard as fuck and difficult to do reliably.
You need to plink ZL to ZR while at the same time flipping the left stick from left to right (or vice versa). I can do it about 50% of the time if I'm lucky.
Really? I'd like to see it.
Like Ribbon Girl, he can be overly difficult to land hits on. To be fair though, lag may also play a part with hits connecting, and stage size matters as well as some have enough space to move out of range of all attacks (excluding slapamander which gives no fucks)
Yeah, so sick of attacks clipping straight through people. Playing the single player is a lot of fun, but that's going to get old quick. I love the concept of the game, but the online just doesn't work well enough to hold it together (IMHO). The lag could be pretty bad in splatoon, but the nature of the projectiles did a good job of hiding this and making it less frustrating.
Want to share any of your wisdom? Just cleared 3 and a couple of those fights were quite a struggle.
