Yes, there's 42 different gloves, but they all basically function the same way. And none of the characters' special abilities do damage to opponents. AND each character's moveset is very limited. The lack of content is not the issue. The lack of gameplay variety is.

No microgame. No new merch since 2018 (and no, the Min Min amiibo does not count). No graphic novel. No more online opens since 2020 or any other official tournaments. No acknowledge in Nintendo games that usually acknowledge other Nintendo games. No any kind of acknowledgment from Nintendo. If Nintendo is proud of ARMS, why hasn't it gotten any of these things like all the big name Switch games have? Note that I adore ARMS, but you can't deny that it feels like Nintendo doesn't.

Here's an idea for how she could be able to use more gloves.

Occasionally an Item Drone that's carrying a box could appear in the background of any stage and whenever Min Min stands in front of the Item Drone, her down special becomes opening the box and then her 3 gloves will be automatically replaced with 3 random other gloves from ARMS. She'll also keep these 3 gloves until she gets KOed and after she gets KOed, she'll get her original 3 gloves back.

I myself have put 700 hours into it so far. Most people see ARMS as a barebones tech demo when it's actually a real game that's way less barebones than people say it is.

Nintendo never said "ARMS is dead!". The tweet everyone is quoting was translated by Google and not a human. If you read the tweets from people who actually read/write in Japanese they say ver 5.0 was the last patch "of the year" not forever.

We don't want to push people away from the game because they think it's not getting anymore content. ARMS isn't dead yet!!

Edit: to those claiming im spreading false rumors: https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/944360043666739200

I think Byte and Barq, and Helix are genderless, but I'm not completely sure. What do you say?

No matter how you slice it, ARMS just doesn't have enough content to justify a $60 price tag. If there was three times the amount of content and gameplay variety it already has, then that would be enough.

I'm so sick of these dumb ass posts. I'VE only had the game a couple of days, and you know what I did to get better? I played the bloody game! I picked a character and played through the grand prix! And when I got my ass kicked, I changed up my strategy, my arms. I got better at dodging and curving my punches. I know it's an outlandish concept, but my ARMS skills improved by playing ARMS.

If he was playable he could overshadow the rest of the roster but what if he was an unplayable boss?

hey everyone.

I know noone will care, but here is why i personally will never return to ARMS.

I bought this game on launch and i loved it. I started watching all the tournaments, refreshed this reddit every hour to see if something new came up and such, and it was fun. Until the last update.

Then things happened in my life that caused me to develop serious anger issues. Then i started liking ARMS less and less. The 1v1 format frustrated me, whereas it used to be endless fun for me. Then the 1v1v1 and other free for all stuff weighed me down even more.

Then came party crashes which were fun, i enjoyed them, and the badge collecting was a good incentive. Played some ranked games here and then, and felt like i was back into the action. Then i hit a point where i couldnt enjoy a minute of this game. Realised that without grinding and practicing, i will never win a match ever again. I took a month break because it made me feel sad.

Came back with renewed interest in ARMS, joined matches, and got perfected for atleast 10 matches in a row, getting focused in every 1v1v1 because i was an easy target, getting spammed with funchuks every second match. Tried Grand Prix, I beat lvl 8 once with Helix, now i was struggling with 6. I know getting used to things again takes time, so i thought why not play some party matches and get this all going, maybe i was in a bad lobby. I lost again and again, trying my best, and it just made me more and more angry about how i only loved this game cause i had time to invest in it, get better, and that after this break i will never be able to play a game again, or even win.

I used to love this game, defend it with all i got, but now that im on the other side, where i dont have time to invest in this game, i get why people dont pick it up.

Thanks for reading if anyone got here. I'm just letting out some frustration

Will arms get dedicated servers when Nintendo pay walls off the current Peer to Peer connectivity for online play? If the answer is no, how can Nintendo justify pay walling off peer to peer networking? Steam also has peer to peer and its free for developers and players.

Why? Because the network traffic is between players' hardware. All the service does is handle connecting up the players together. Nintendo has been doing this for free on Wii U, 3ds, and even on switch so far. So the justification of server costs is a lie unless Nintendo plans to move all of its online games onto dedicated servers. I have not read this anywhere so if anyone knows, please post here.

The gloves you use would also effect how these attacks play. For instance, smaller gloves like the Skully will speed up the special attacks while heavy gloves like the Megawatt will make them move slow.

What if the characters' springy arms could transform into other things? For example, Spring Man's arm could come off and then he would instantly grow a temporary new one while his old one would transform into a car. Then he would drive the car and use it to run over his opponents. But after a while, the car will turn back into an arm and automatically fly back onto his arm socket while his new arm disappears.

There's a lot of other things the arms could transform into too like a tank, or a helicopter or a rhino, or a horse, or anything that the characters could ride on. But in order to make your arm transform, you'll have to fill up a gauge like how you have to fill the Rush Gauge.

Seriously. Consistently when there are players new to fighting games, their first opinion is that grabs are cancer.

Grab spamming cool kid Kens were apparently op in the street fighter days, grab spamming was the newbie killer in mk9/mkX.

No. Ask any competitive player. If you're caught in a grab, you either have to work on your reaction time or be punished less. It's pretty much a meme in the fighting game community when newbies enter a game and instantly play too unsafe and complain that they're losing to grab spammers.

If you have trouble countering a player that predictably performs a grab after a jump 90% of the time, you might not want to start ranked games yet.

OK... So I hover around level 17 or 18 and when you get there it really is not fun most of the time. Most the players I face are level 19 or 20 which usually just means a loss or maybe I can get 1 round in. Players at this level are so tuned into frame rate data or, in my mind, exploiting slightly over powered mechanics, gloves etc.

Yes you can get good with any character and any glove set but when your ranked matches are 10 in a row higher level players and all losses the game just isn't fun.

When I was climbing at being rank 13 facing a 15 it was a challenge and a winnable one at times. Once you hit towards the top there's no point. If I am 17 or 18 and face a 16 I win 99 percent of the time. So essentially you get trapped. Level 20 is top hard to beat and anyone below you is too easy.

I hope they address this in a sequel since updates are done. Also I will say that electric type gloves feel bad. If you hey hit with literally any other type of glove it's like oh jeez ok but getting shocked and disabled makes everyone want to throw their switch in the garbage. Getting with any glove sucks but electric sucks the most.

how can you live with yourself knowing that you spam grab as ninjara

How do you fly as Mechanica? How do you jump on Byte's stupid doggy head? Is there like special abilities for each character that you have to discover? I found out that Ribbon Girl can double jump but that's about it.

So in party match if you win lots of times in a row you're handicapped with 25% less HP I'm fine with that but if you keep winning it goes to 50% and 75% WHY I think that is unfair no choices or ways to turn this off either plus if you land in a 3 or 4 player match you'll be bullied until you die by the other players most of the time because you have the lowest HP it sucks I hate it hate it hate it
