This is actually a great thing about Master Mummy, one way to combat this especially if its a really close game, the other usually a Ribbon Girl, or Kid Cobra will stay on the other side of the arena, I will just sit and charge my health up, and force them to come for me, with heavy gloves so when they go in for the grab I punch through their grab and smack em in the face up the middle.
Thanks, Slapamanders did the trick!

I think I'm way too casual for this. I play about 10 rounds every other night and maybe win 1 match.
I wish there was a more fulfilling single player mode somehow because this shit is just demeaning.

I bet that is pretty nasty with the fast-fall charge.
Showed the game to a friend and we had a blast in party mode and doing a 2P GP lvl4.
Still can't wrap my head around lvl 5+ where the very first fight feels like the CPU reads your inputs and reacts almost perfectly, like reaching that 2nd/3rd fight in Mortal Kombat arcades back then.

Just bought the game. Having some trouble getting used to the motion controls. Feels a bit clunky.

Yeah. You can even unlock ranked playing 2P.

Yeah, awesome playing it with my wife. She just flails around and ends up doing better than me sometimes.

Just bought this, should be here in a few days. I really hope this scratches my punch-out itch, i love games like that.
This game in local multiplayer is something else entirely. 3 player matches are so chaotic and fun! Did not expect this at all.
It's not like punch out at all though.

It's much better
He's worse on GP6 for some reason. But here's how you beat him: throw a punch, he will Dodge and disappear into smoke, and have your next punch ready to go as he doesn't go very far and you can usually nail him as he appears. Don't even bother using slow ARMS. Also, do not attempt to grab. He will almost always counter with a grab.

I'm very satisfied with my online performance so far. I managed to get from Rank 6 to Rank 9 with little issue.
Learning how important retreating is, instead of just side-stepping, has really helped me out. I'm also getting a lot better at reading my opponents.
As far as single-player goes, I only have Twintelle left to beat GP7 with. Unfortunately, still no Dragon ARMS for her despite playing the ARMS Getter like a dozen times. At least I'm like 9 or 10 ARMS away from completing Spring Man, including duplicates. Once that is done I'll play the ARMS Getter as Twintelle.

It seems like I have gotten a bit better on when to use my dash and jumps accordingly.
I just need to get a bit better at my aim with my ARMS.

Finally decided to jump in this evening after following this thread for a while; only got to play for about half an hour but I'm liking it so far! I did see that Hawkian put together a big beginners guide (as he has done for another game in the past c on one of the past pages, but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone have a link to that handy?
Looking forward to eventually getting online with you folks!

Also everybody stay tuned for a couple posts about the Arms themselves coming soon... filled with lots of delicious data if you're into that. Followed by an advanced tips post probably tomorrow.

So now that it's been out for a little, where do you all stand on the controller methods?
Which do you prefer, motion or buttons and why?
thanks

I play mostly handheld so I am used to buttons.
I do motion controls when playing in front of TV though.

This game is fantastic. I picked it up on launch day and only played casually until today. I just wasn't getting it. Today, it finally clicked and I've been playing all night. Still haven't chosen a main, but trying out all the different characters to find one has been a lot of fun.

Alright! So! Finally got the time and I now know from the base game I've played 105 hours after 10 days, if you add 20 from the test punch it's 125, and if you add 24 from the days I wasn't able to play of my own volition it would've been 149 hours.

Buttons for me. Tried giving motion controls a go but I lack the coordination.
Been busy due to a new job. But payday is here so treated myself to this. Been dying to try it out as I missed the test fire.
It's undoubtedly been asked a million times in this thread but to save me searching back as I'm lazy how do the standard controls hold up compared to motion?

Just turned on my Switch specifically to check my time and everyone else's on my list. I'm at 30+ (and was at 10+ for the Testpunch), which is more than I expected. Since I was playing with motion 100% of the time I did set a hard limit on how much I'd play per day, or so I thought, to avoid wearing myself out. (And without giving anything away, that clearly didn't stop Hawkian...)

Motion.
I don't mind the button layout, but you just can't move and curve your punches at the same time. So if you an opponent are circle straffing each other, you can't really throw a punch curving towards where the opponent is moving, and situations like that where curving is the difference between a hit or miss.
Would love to hear how Buttons supporters get around this.

we don't, but i can't play motion, i'm just shit at it, i'm way better with the controller and win a lot of matches like that... maybe i'll end up loosing later in ranked because of that, but im fine with it
i just try to aim more carefully

Buttons, largely because I underestimated just how much I prefer playing in handheld mode instead of having it docked. Of course the kickstand is an option too, but meh.
I prefer buttons, since it allows for more precise dodging and jumping, and I have learned pretty well how to curve arms with the analoge stick, so that aspect is no longer as much ofan advantage for motion players as it used to be.So now that it's been out for a little, where do you all stand on the controller methods?

Is it normal if I feel like I'm really bad at this ? Like, I was wrecking everyone during testpunch, and here I thought I could deal with lvl 4 IA from the start but I barely could damage the opponent. I beat lvl4 once with Ribbon Girl but I lost countless times in the process.
I'm not even thinking about going online until I clear lvl4 Grand Prix with every character.

Well I've reached the level where I can do the same movements on button and motion control, so whenever I play buttons now I feel limited by not having control of the arms seperately. It is useful in so many scenarios.
You can't move and punch at the same time with motion either. Your character comes to a stop when you throw a punch, and only starts moving again until the arm is fully extended. You have the same limitations as sticks when it comes to movement. The stick limitations come from when you have both arms out and you cant curve both independently. But that dosn't matter a whole lot because the second arm you have punched out is the dominant one you have out for a reason most of the time (they dodged first punch or first punch was bait). Then you only really need to worry about curving for the last punch you threw out.

I was lucky enough to get him in a Skill Shot match during my GP7. He gave me quite a bit of trouble in 6, though.

I'm in the same boat
Steamrolled during Test Punch but immediately started getting my ass handed to me in final Party Mode, lol

...hate me...
No, it's a joke. I don't encourage abuse in any form.
Would love for a few dialogue presets though. One would need to be "pls don't spam grab".
Other would need to be "PLEASE THE TIMER IS RUNNING OUT AND THE OTHER GUY IS AT FULL HEALTH STOP COMING FOR ME".

Buttons so far for me.
Tried motion multiple time and while I understand how it works it just doesn't give me the feeling of precision and accuracy that buttons give me.

Isn't there a tutorial mode buried somewhere? I need to try that because I keep getting worse somehow. Nintendo needs to rearrange these menus and do a better job of teaching the game.
This is like Souls levels of tutorializing.
