Fighting game experience.
Do the long Arms Getter minigame (the one that costs 200 coins if possible, you get more arms for the price), that's the only way to unlock them. There are no more characters besides the initial ten, but Max Brass is coming next month as free DLC though
How do I change skins/colors?
Press left stick and while pressing, choose one direction in character selection, then confirm with A

I have not ran into Hedlok yet.
What am I doing wrong?
What am I doing wrong?
Need to play Grand Prix on at least level 4.
I'm maining Ninjara as it stands btw, not expected at all and the char I cared the least about at release. But you can't help what you feel comfortable with.
I honestly dispise the singleplayer AI but Ranked mode is so so fun. It's such a rush sussing out peoples patterns, strategys, punishing them for putting arms out too early, predicting how they'll react. Even though the level scaling is a bit weird (I kept on getting level 1/2 people when I was level 5) I love that everyone seems to be on a similar level in terms of skills and it makes for such fun battles.

I just realised how much i hate byte and barq
Thank you. Much worse than Helix. Everything involving having to aim at more than one character is the worst in this game

Ugh they're terrible.
Yeah I did a bunch of ranked yesterday (I'm rank 5 now) and the fights are hype as hell.
Yes, counts as a loss.

The more I play this game the more I'm enjoying it, it's seriously so good.
That being said, 1v1v1 can be extremely frustrating when the two people decide for no reason to just team up on you and won't hit each other. This new guy joined the lobby I was in and basically teamed up on me with the other person so I was first one out but felt that I was playing better than both. Immediately after that we got matched 1v1 and I ended up straight dominating him it was relentless. Felt good.

Lol.I have a somewhat similar story from the test punch. I was in a 2v2 and my partner wasn't doing well and we lost. Immediately after they threw me and my partner in a 1v1. I took revenge on his/her arse. I actually got a perfect. Lol. Every time he/she was in a match with me afterward he/she got dominated.

Dumb question: how do you change targets when in thumbs-up grip?
byte and barq are a nuisance for sure. It feels like you're constantly juggling two guys even though it's only one.

There's really no reason to attack your "teammate" in that situation.
The goal of 1v1v1 is essentially to communicate to another player that you want to fight the other guy lol
Any button on the dpad. The up button should be fairly accessible.
Sadly it doesn't seem like there is.
The core of ARMS is amazing and I see myself playing it for a long time to come, but there are a ton of little things they could do to improve the overall experience.
I have high expectations for future DLC, just afraid some stuff won't be coming until August at earliest.

I mean at least we are getting a Spectator mode and a new character as well as his stage during June and July.
I'd like to know as well. This loadout has been showing up a lot in rank too, so I've been wondering how to deal with it.
Even if you advance guard, the character that threw out the disc still has enough mobility to get out of the punish attempt.
(the thing that seems to work is advance guard and then input a dash guess)
EDIT:
Conversely, I don't know why it whiffs when it does lol
Seconded, I want to pick a main that feels right and not force a character because my ego demands it. For me it's Twintelle; her mix-up game is so clear. But like others I wonder if she's just that good/I'm not so good. My second best, also surprising, is Barq/Byte; I do alright using Barq for mix-ups.
Incoming?
If ARMS takes off well, just like Splatoon did... I don't see why not
Splatoon did have amiibo support at launch... did Nintendo want to test the IP first or they trying to get out of the Amiibo market?
I just remember that Splatoon had it on launch. Would have loved to have a Springman.
Haven't they just announced new amiibos for Mario and the Rabbid RPG?

Right... he interupted me during my ult and i lost that game, and when there are objects it makes it useless to hide behind them lmao

And 4 more Zelda ones and two Metroid.
They just opted not to bother with Amiibo for Arms yet--be it uncertainty of how popular it would be, or not having any game usage for them planned out yet etc.
Missed opportunity, be nice to scan an amiibo and get random # of coins or even a free arm occasionally on lucky scans ala BOTW special items.
Before anyone flames me, no exclusive arms in amiibos!!!
.
Amiibo would probably break the eco-system of getting Arms
1v1v1 is bullshit. There's no way to keep track of both opponents, so you can't apply any tactic successfully except for the waiting game.

Twintelle will most definitly get an amiibo her popularity is just too good.
Not sure I follow...
it's a sloggy grind to unlock every arm and twice over for the + PLUS version
it's a good business strategy to sell amiibos to help players unlock even faster without breaking the game imo
I'd actually welcome using Amiibos to unlock arms faster.
Also, Headlok can eat a dick. I just wanna play Ranked, dammit!
Eh, they'll make money on the figure. I assumed it would have given daily coins or a free arm per day. I only care about the figures, haha.
Alex Valle suggested $20 for unlock DLC.
I don't care what it costs, just give it to me lol

What i think he is trying to say is replay value
During the first play through set the difficulty to 4 and lost more times that i care to count after finally beating the game with spring man, decided to continue on the hardest difficulty which results in even more losing the intensity of the game and when i do finally win is pretty great.
If it was ARMS 2, perhaps sure
The free DLC marketing helps build a solid fanbase for the game and it's working
Ahh ok, I get it but that's relative, not everyone sees the grind as replay value.

Does it? How can you tell?
Considering it counts as a win if the enemy dcs in party mode I'd imagine it does in ranked too?
Just finished Grand Prix Level 4 with Ninjara and it was significantly harder than I thought it would be to unlock ranked mode.
With the number of people on here that said it was pretty easy I do not like my chances in ranked mode. Especially with a bunch of people saying they have beaten Level 7, you must be savage at this game.
