So, now the testpunch is finally over,who's gonna buy it?

Absolutely. Went from very unsure about the game to completely convinced, and have it preordered already.

 

[Friend of Sonic]

I can't believe it's over, so sad 😥😥😥

 

[evanmisha]

Ended my last hour with 119 fight money, and 8 perfects. Loving Mechanica and loving ARMS. See you guys at launch!

 

[Rayis]

Did anybody have trouble blocking with motion controls? It's not as responsive as it should be

 

[bumpkin]

When I end up in a 4 player fight against a team of Mechanica and Twintelle that are playing together locally, I may as well just quit. Cheap and OP as fuck. Problem is, the Switch won't let me Dashboard with the Home button. lol.

 

[hamsjams]

Whenever I used Master Mummy's guard against even mediocre players the opponent would just spam 3 or 4 grabs and eventually get me. I couldn't dash or jump far enough away, and even when I broke the grabs with punches it felt like they still had massive frame advantage to the point that after enough grab attempts I was simply unable to respond. I'm by no means an expert, so I'd love to see data on this.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Well see you all in the full release in 12 days

 

[Serenitynow]

I lost to every teleport-grab Ninjara I fought, but definitely still buying this game.

In other words, I think ARMS has LEGS.

 

[javac]

My worst round yet, fuck.

 

[B00TE]

Pour one out for our dearly departed Testpunch.

Can't wait for the full game, I desperately need more of this already.

 

[LotusHD]

A timer, a grab every twenty seconds or something like that

Twenty seconds just for a grab? The games aren't that long to begin with...

I dunno man, I see grabs as that thing that is annoying until everyone figures it out. (Which Hoops will accelerate hopefully.) Then you just look foolish if you try to spam it carelessly.

I'm about the pink and purple and the default color scheme, not a fan of her other ones

Her default look is the best, but the red outfit w/ the white pants she gets is just too awesome lol

So, now the testpunch is finally over,who's gonna buy it?

Me, game is sooooooo much fun lol

Also I can't wait to put entirely more focus on 1v1 matches, I need a break from party mode lmao

 

[Crayon]

This is a good ass game.

 

[Totakeke]

It's over.

Not sure what happened to CPU0 but he was ahead of us in score.

 

[Kangi]

Matching me with the same "teammate" multiple times in a row after they couldn't manage 100 points in Skillshot stinks. What a sour note to end on.

 

[Busaiku]

Bah, ended with 87.
This lobby had good players for once, I was destroyed most games.

 

[donkey show]

No stream? I'm in a Target on WiFi looking for it lol

Haha not this time. Had some stuff to do, plus I needed a break. xD

 

[jorgejjvr]

Can't wait for launch! I'll be there day 1

We should start adding each other

SW-6188-0130-1440

 

[Giga Man]

After the maintenance notice, they kept rematching the same teams over and over again for 2v2 fights and skillshots about 3 times in a row before we finally disconnected. Luckily, all my fights finished and I ended with 108 coins, the highest score in the lobby.

 

[AquaWateria]

So, now the testpunch is finally over,who's gonna buy it?

I will.

 

[javac]

When you get beaten by Twintelle and she goes Haha, fuck you!

 

[Pastry]

I cockblocked a dude from getting to 100, kind of feel bad.

He was at 96 and we were the last two guys in the room. We played 3 games before the servers went down and I won all 3.

 

[Totakeke]

I was using medium/light arms and there was a Twintelle who kept coming up to my face and spamming parasols. That shit was obnoxious. It worked for him because he kept cornering me and closing off my escape routes.

 

[LotusHD]

When you get beaten by Twintelle and she goes Haha, fuck you!

 

[Passose]

I'm also gonna buy it, had so much fun, LOVE the motion controls,Ribbon Girl is already a plus, but my arms are so tired after playing it though

 

[ASIS]

Ended second in my lobby with 82 points. The competition was much tougher this round which showed me the 'depth' of this game I was looking for.

This game is something else.

 

[Biske]

With Twintelle and Double Thunderbirds had my best run ever. 107.

Some highlights:

I got 501 in target practice, never saw a single point from it. pfff

This was very satisfying.

At the very end got to go against my room Rival, a very tricky helix. But I showed him whats what

 

[Busaiku]

We actually beat a level 7 Hedlok, this was a good lobby.

 

[hao chi]

I mostly used Twintelle in the last hour. After I got out of the mindset that I need multiple jumps I really enjoyed her. I think I'll be using her and Ribbon Girl the most in the full version.

 

[Seik]

It's a wrap, can't wait for June 16th.

 

[AquaWateria]

I wonder if they will increase the difficulty to Hedlok.

 

[Blackie]

People keep improving! Struggled early on in the hour then turned on the turbo fighting + cheese to come roaring back, might have made someone ragequit haha. This is getting purchased day 1.

 

[Jacobs]

So, now the testpunch is finally over,who's gonna buy it?

I will. At first I thought this wasn't a game for me since I don't like fighting games, but after the second test punch last weekend I had a blast playing it, so I am definitely buying it.

 

[LotusHD]

I haven't enjoyed (and be semi-competent) at a fighting game since well... Smash lol

It's really easy to get into. Favorite characters gameplay-wise would have to be Twintelle and Ribbon Girl, with Min Min not too far behind.

When the full game comes out, I'll try out Helix and Master Mummy, because I haven't used them since last week lmao

 

[phanphare]

Infinity War Part 2 spoilers!

 

[JJShadow]

Well, managed to end with 90 points in my last lobby. All the games I lost were 2v2, so I'm glad to know I ended up undefeated in all 1v1 modes

So, now the testpunch is finally over,who's gonna buy it?

Me for sure, I went from "this might be fun" to instantly pre-ordering after the first Testpunch lol This might be the first fighting game in which I'm actually good

 

[CortexVortex]

Can't believe I missed every single Testpunch. Well, buying it anyway though.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

In the full game there really needs to be an option for party mode to only include normal 1v1. I hate every other mode. Every single one. Annoyingly the game doesn't even let me back out when the game is chosen. Or even press the home button to close and open the game. Juat let me play 1v1 please.

Also, today I learned that any decent match will end with the timer.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Random: I just realized Twintelle's got some muscle in her actual arms.

So Fit!

 

[Zedark]

LOL, I am already missing the game! It really was some incredible fun, can't wait!

Pretty sure Ranked will give you that.

I think we have to make friend lobby for that

(to play with gaf)

 

[WPS]

Finally got onto a test punch after being busy all weekend. I've switched from Min-Min to Ninjara and did much better, he definitely suits my play style.

I'm glad v-ball wasn't in the rotation this time, but I did miss 1v1v1.

 

[StreetsAhead]

A couple of frustrating lag issues in the final round there. Close matches, and I watch in horror as my punch goes right through my opponent....

How bad it is to get destroyed by lame kid names like Théo or Clara or Mathias

Conversely, I feel bad coz I beat down on a few people playing with what appeared to be parents - players named Dad or Mum and such.

 

[jwk94]

You cant burn yourself out, full game has limitless arm combinations, you will never get the full experience with Test Punch.

While it does have limitless combinations, that only goes so far to extend (heh) how much long-term enjoyment you can get out of it. At least that's how it is for me.

 

[Effect]

For the grabbing there should be more invincibility frames after the grab. You shouldn't be able to keep doing it over and over considering how much damage it takes off. That's the biggest annoyance. I wouldn't care so much if I wasn't seeing 150/160 (can't remember which ). Lesson how much damage is done from it if they're going to be so easy to get. Especially with Ninjara. You don't always know where he's going to reappear so getting grabs with him seems easier compared to other characters even if you're moving out of the way upon getting up.

 

[basefree]

Today was pretty much the only chance I had to finally try this game out.

I'm usually not much into competitive multiplayer games, but that was very much something I felt like I could get into. Tons of fun! Very tempted to buy...

 

[ASIS]

Can't wait for launch! I'll be there day 1

We should start adding each other

SW-6188-0130-1440

I just added you, here's my FC if anyone's interested:

SW - 5721 -8081 -7043

 

[TheGoreMagala]

So would the seekie just be an objectively better Thunderbird because of the homing?

Meanwhile how would you guys rank the electric gloves between the sparky, megawatt, revolver,guardians , Thunderbird and seekie?

Since I think I'll just solely use electricity for the most part,

 

[MTC100]

It's over, went out with a bang, perfected the lobby 2nd in the last game, I almost feel bad, lol... (he/she played pretty good before though, guess stairs aren't for him/her)

We had too many hedlock fights though and lost most of them, he was level 6 and always oneshotted someone in the team AND WE ALWAYS GOT THE DAMN STAIRS STAGE. They should patch that shit out ASAP!

 

[Zalman]

ARMS is a keeper. I'll be there on the 16th.
