I like the new screen, I think it's poetic to have Spring Man vs. Max Brass.

This may be off subject but I feel dumb for putting Hero Academia down because after watching the first season of the anime I am loving it. I was a hipster back then lol.
Plus ultraaaaaa!!!!

Snake Park removal from ranked is huge.

Substantial update. Really looking forward to trying out the champ.

I wish we could remap the controls. I wanted to keep playing, last night, but my left thumb is still sore from playing too much two days ago - I guard a lot to charge my punches, but, eventually, keeping that stick pushed becomes uncomfortable and I start losing. It's not the first time I'd like to play the game but don't because my fingers still hurt.

I can't believe it. Nintendo did the exact right move with this patch.
A publisher listened to community feedback.
Folks, I feel really positive about the future of this game.
Removing Snake Park means they understand what's the right choice is, instead of sticking to pushing their original ideas. They're willing to admit flaws.
I'm returning to Arms!
The rage quit penalty was also great. Thought it might be months before that came!
Finally, I didn't know that ribbon girl "punching hover" thing was a glitch. I'll have to learn a new aggro strategy now lol
Kid Cobra nerf was justified as were the grab and Arms changes.
Maybe now heavy characters are usable and not complete punching bags.
Does the Guardian speed change affect the grinding method for coins? Cause i imagine this means the CPU will actually put up a fight now in V-Ball

Please give us fully customizable controls. Pretty please.

Take the rest back, I don't need it.
It's amazing how a new character can make the whole game feel brand new again. Reminds me of when Mewtwo was added to Smash 4.
Hopefully the next new character isn't far off. It's anyone's guess when it'll come, but I think they may be aiming for "sooner" to build the game's momentum.
I really like how they changed the title screen to reflect the new character, btw; hopefully they'll do that for future additions to the roster, as well.

Wow, the new update is really beefy! Been playing nonstop since this afternoon.

It's more than a new character. Max is fine but he isn't what's breathing new life into the game.

So which buttons should we press? I never understood how it worked.
For that Spring Man must've had 0 natural ability and would have to be super knowledgable of all the other fighters. Also Max Brass would've had to have given spring man some of his power.

Wait, hold up. This actually works?

It's party mode, it's supposed to be silly fun. 3 player FFA is goofy and dumb and reflects the tone of Party mode perfectly.
Really like this update, Max Brass is rad and it's great to see them actively listening to feedback even this early on! I'm excited to see what's coming next, since Max was still functionally part of the base game. Whoever is next will presumably be brand new!
Maybe they can even make V-ball not completely awful.

What's the main different between Spring Man and Max Brass? Speed?

This is stupid
Max just fights a different colored Max in the final round
I'm guessing he does the same thing with Hedlock
Laaaaaame

It's not fun though, even when I win. It's the main reason I don't play Party mode often, even though all the other game types inside are pretty good.
A mode stops being fun when it breaks the norms of the game. In 3 player FFA, grabs are abused more often because you can easily grab someone who just attacked someone else while the attacked person is stunned. If someone attacks you from the back, it is difficult to dodge or use arms to break a grab.
Even a 4 player FFA would be an upgrade from this mode.
Party mode is good for trying new characters against humans instead of CPUs without the risk of harming your rank.
Similar to ranked mode in Splatoon 2, maybe rank should be tied to each individual character.
On topic though, love the update. Max is awesome, and snake park being removed is great.
I was speaking for myself, good sir.
Wait, that sounds more like Mechanica.
So can we expect events like Splatfest in ARMS?
Also, here's the new title screen.
Fantastic title screen
It seems to revert to the normal title screen after you've played awhile, although the new title screen comes back every time you boot the game up.
I'm excited to see the future title screens introducing the future new characters. :-O
No it doesn't I tried it once, and it works at first, but as you are moving the joycons independently, the game figures out that they are separate and switches to the motion control mode automatically.
Edit:
Well, this looks like I might have been doing something wrong.
I really like the sound of those balance updates.
But I think my most wanted change is still a change to the matchmaking formula when you're doing local co-op in a party lobby. One person will be sitting out way too often. Although I haven't played in like a month so maybe they fixed it.

I didn't want to jump into this before Splatoon 2, but this update convinced me to grab a copy later today.
I want to witness how the game evolves over time. Indeed seems like it'll have legs

This too. That guy was elusive AF. Pretty great update imo, some great balance and content added.
Wow thanks for this! Still don't understand why there isn't a simple toggle. How hard would it be to add a "choose a control scheme" a la MK8D?

This sounds like a solid update. I'll have to take a break from Breath of the Wild to give it a go. It's great to see Nintendo making significant changes and tweaks to what was already a fun game. Keep 'em coming!

Everything sound great (especially Hydra nerfs), but...
Whyyyy?! That was my favorite stage - I was on an undefeated streak there!
