The game is actually fun to watch.
And going by Mechanica camo they're not all simple color swaps.

Nintendo Switch 15 will let you play with holograms

Both of them are very good.
That Mechanica alt they revealed is my favorite (revealed) design in the game! It's SO good.

This is really fast paced.
If Nintendo is trying to get this game to grow competitively and get it into EVO. Then at least people can't complained about that lol.
They really hate Smash 4, Pokken and Melee because of Time and of course other reasons

It depends on how the wired mode of this pans out. The game definitely isn't going to be played competitively if the most reliable option is wireless. Doesn't mean it won't be a really cool and accessible fighting game though.

Part of me still wishes the fighters actually operated like stands like in the reveal trailer

First tourney, the joycons were actually wired. Maybe they'll sell them later.

Yo, this the full main theme? Someone better be recording it.
I want an option for Japanese audio and English menus pretty bad right now
The difference in voice between Biff and Cobutter is super-jarring for me now. It's like for Japan they made him way less of a real "sports commentator" and more like ARMS' general mascot character. I thought his voice didn't match his appearance in English, but now in Japanese the voice and look don't match his in-game role. I don't know how to handle any of it.
Looks like it was an intermission.
Yeah, that's what it looked like, and they're got a day 2, so hopefully there's more. Maybe that was an exhibition?

Its the actual tournament now.
I'm certain that's what it was. An exhibition to show of the abilities of all of the characters revealed thus far. Now the real stuff is about to begin.
Ah the randoms.
True, but it's nice to see how the game plays with normal folks involved. It needs casual appeal as well as hardcore appeal to be a hit.

The previous two players are pro...

I feel like helix has a good setup with the electric shield. Looks like it can be pulled back early too...

I could see ARMS be a anime series.

Wished they invited Dabuz again. He's pretty good about breaking down the game in detail. He's also honest about whether the game is good or not.
The shield is actually stronger than I would have first thought, considering it can even knock down the Megaton.
Maneuverability is key to get around that. Either curved punches or a lot of dashing to the side so that when the shield is out and stalled it's in a disadvantageous position. You saw it early in the round where it wound up way far off from where Minmin actually was at the time. I bet the slapamander and chakram style arms will be pretty effective as a countermeasure.

Mechanica as the main character.

For some reason it reminds me of Boku no Hero.
I'd prefer this over them trying to shoehorn the full story and lore in the game, tbh.
don't kill me, plz

Ok that helix player got rekt p good O.O the minmin was good at maneuvering around the helix's slower arms.
Agreed, I wasn't seeing any helix shenanigans.

You can tell that the guy isn't using DNA Man's dodging moveset at all.
I feel like someone who knows how to properly use him will be a threat.

He wasn't really using any of Helix's stretching or shiftiness. You could tell that the Minmin player was a lot more mobile and it made it easy for her to get around his pretty static shielding attempts.
Yep. He very much seems like a character geared more toward skilled players.
