This was obviously a mistake by Switch Force, and drawing attention to it could potentially get them in trouble.

It's their own fault dude.

 

[DKL]

I pray everyone isn't unlocked from the get-go. I hate that.

Not sure how they would resolve this for a tournament setting, but I assume it'll be a non-issue at some point since I think everyone is just gonna lug their shit with them when they go to a tournament or something lol

So yeah, I guess I'd be okay with doing a bunch of random shit to unlock things in this game even though I normally just want all the tools available right away.

For tournaments they could do like Pokken and make an unlock everything passcode

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

It's not. At the very least you're going to have to collect coins/buy lootboxes (not microtransactions) in order to unlock the 30 different types of gloves. I doubt they'll have every fighter unlocked at the start, I'm willing to bet we'll get the 5 revealed in January then we have to unlock the rest.

That's dumb.

 

[donkey show]

:O

How the hell I didn't think of that!

hmm yes I see

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unlockable characters in fighting games is an archaic method of providing progress that screws over competitive & casual play alike. There are better ways to do unlocks, like alternate colors or costumes.

 

[NotLiquid]

Between Minmin and Twintelle, for a game called ARMS, these characters have LEGS for days.

 

[DKL]

This would be cool, but I assume it won't be completely necessary since everyone will probably have their personal Switches on them whenever they travel to something.

I mean, it's smaller than an arcade stick :v

Really beginning to feel how convenient this console is for this kind of setting.

Like, you could play pools on undocked consoles to save on setup time or whatever.

 

[Plum]

That's dumb.

Care to explain why?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

If your showing off Twintelle I expect her to be unlocked when I play the game for the first time.

Emblems
Taunts
Match Win Poses
Theme Music

etc. Agreed.

 

[Dark Cloud]

They definitely made a mistake. Good thing they didn't show all the new stuff lol.

 

[TheSun]

Huh, new characters look cool.

The dark skinned-pardon, "tanned japanese", is the standout here.

Wonder when the next batch of fighters will be revealed.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Dude in the last pic is me when I'm getting a good succc

 

[DKL]

Actually, I'm not sure about this statement since I don't think the actual console has USB on it, so you can't wire yourself up without a dock...

(wireless in tournament is just no)

But I'm not completely sure since I'm too lazy to check my console :v

Byte and Barq, amazing.

I unironically want this shirt thanks

They're so boring.

Lets do Joy Mech Fight 2. You start Spring Man Only

 

[Plum]

Well, yeah, I wasn't saying that's what I wanted but that's what I expect.

 

[Brunire]

lol amazing

 

[Neoxon]

Oh yeah, Etika has that shirt.

 

[TheSun]

Y'all think we will get even newer characters subtly revealed like the last bunch.

I hope so~

 

[The Greek Freak]

Well at least they are letting us know in advance so I don't have to watch and be incredibly confused as to why people are interested in ARMS at all.

 

[TheDinoman]

Well at least they are letting us know in advance so I don't have to watch and be incredibly confused as to why people are interested in ARMS at all.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Sp Twintelle has the arms power on her hair and that other fighter s a robot police officer with his police dog ? Great variety so far

 

[DKL]

I'm interested in the movement tech. Splatoon was pretty glorious in this area.

Also, me and my friends are too lazy to setup Gundam >_>

 

[Xbro]

That's too late. They shouldn't have leaked a vid for people who are thirsty as fuck for any ARMS info.

How do you know it was intentional?

 

[A.J.]

I really hope I can get a Switch before Arms comes out.

 

[Kouriozan]

Might as well call it Twintelle Direct now.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Care to explain why?

It's tedious to unlocking fighting game characters. It's nothing more than artificial progression cuz your eventually gonna need to have full access to every fighter to learn from them. It's better to unlock emblems, gloves, colors, etc.

 

[PHOTOSHOP]

might be dumb question but can you play this game with controller or is it only motion joy cons?

Gimme

unlockable costumes

Even though Nintendo has forced the motion controls in the tournaments held so far, I'm to understand there will be pro controller compatibility...

Besides, there's no way I can play this shit for like 10 hours straight using motion controls for attack inputs >_>

 

[Dark Cloud]

might be dumb question but can you play this game with controller or is it only motion joy cons?

You can use standard controls.

 

[Dystify]

Well at least they are letting us know in advance so I don't have to watch and be incredibly confused as to why people are interested in ARMS at all.

I highly doubt the 3 characters are all the news we're getting today...

 

[PHOTOSHOP]

o ok thats good to hear. i can see myself getting tired of the motions controls

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

The only characters I expect to be locked are a boss character and a secret character like Little Mac.

 

[wild wild rice]

How quickly did these directs show up on the switches newsfeed?

 

[DecoReturns]

It got leaked? That's funny.

Not reading the leak since the Direct is gonna start soon. I mean I already predict three character reveal, so nothing is really spoiled for me

 

[SinCityAssassin]

How do you know it was intentional?

Whaaaaaaat do you mean Switch Force wouldn't jeopardize a press relation with Nintendo just before E3.

 

[DecoReturns]

Whaaaaaaat do you mean Switch Force wouldn't jeopardize a press relation with Nintendo just before E3.

It was leaked by Switch Force?

They get free stuff from Nintendo. Why did they leak this?

Probably doesn't matter much honestly, it's not really that big of a deal

Edit: nevermind. I thought all Direct info leaked. Yeah it's no big deal

 

[Kouriozan]

It got leaked? That's funny.

Nah, it's just a gameplay video about those characters, the Direct presentation didn't leak.

They're a good group of guys. I watch their videos all the time. This was a mistake. They probably read the embargo time wrong.

Oh. It's no big deal then.

I thought they leaked everything. I didn't look at the thread because I wanted to just wait for the Direct myself. They'll be fine, honest mistake it seems

you are aware that the gloves do, umm, stuff?

IMHO this mindset is mostly present in competitive community. While I can see their argument, colors and such are not a valid replacement for me precisely for the reasons that I assume you are okay with them being unlockable. Maybe something else can be worked out, single player mission system perhaps.

Lmfao.

will there be a youtube link?
