Ribbon girl is absurdly hard to hit. Can only win by time out

Nintendo always puts the dankest of Wi-Fi chips in their hardware.

I''m so confused...

Is wired fucked in some way?

 

[mojo2]

I played for an hour at night (EU) and got my face smashed in. Every match. In Testpunch I dominated. This isn't what I signed for.

Everyone owned me by jumping around furiously and bitch slapping with salamander and that other boomerangy thing. Damn.

 

[Tahnit]

Ram Ram is pretty good actually. Her other 2 default ones are kind of slow though.

I was literally just crying about this on Twitter. lol

I got to the fifth match and had to tap out because omg I keep dying aaaaaaah.

 

[Recreat3]

I'm in the same boat. $60 is a lot and, as silly as it sounds, I'm still getting used to $60 Nintendo games.

I can get it for $69 aud which is pretty nice. Good price for a brand new game here in aus but im still on the fence

 

[Wired All Wrong]

Felix and Incite, I hate you.

 

[Amibguous Cad]

Anyone else having some server trouble? I get kicked off Lorne every other match in party mode

 

[zenspider]

Anybosy know how the point system in Skill Shot works? I had most of the targets and the lead, then getting knocked down in the last few seconds was worth 950pts!?

Not sure if it's on my head, but this feels better than the Testpunch.

It was all Felix!!!!

Added lobo reeves for action

I was having the same issue. This post helped:

Try to get combos, they'll boost your score more than single hits.

 

[AEREC]

Really digging it so far but it would have been nice if they at least put in a story mode, not like injsutice, but traditional fighting arcade modes where you get a comic panel or brief movie after finishing Grand Prix with a character.

 

[Wired All Wrong]

Lol, you guys kicked my ass.

Taking a quick break, but I'll be on in a few minutes. Going to add everyone that was in Felix's/Gore's room just now. FC is 7312-0144-8729. Nickname is Rudeboy.

 

[xochipiltontli]

Skill Shot Byte & Barq is kicking my ass.

 

[renzolama]

I was having the same issue. This post helped:

I just focus on hitting the other player in the face the entire match. I usually win because he's been getting beat around with no time to hit targets, but I've hit at least a decent amount of them while firing my fists through them towards his face.

Edit: In case it wasn't clear, I aim for the face

 

[TheGoreMagala]

Who's in the room?

Yeah, that's not the optimal strategy. Gotta get targets, face is just a bonus if you combo.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Wait. Where is the practice mode?

It's the best for Skillshot tho

 

[tvpivva]

Finally picked up my arms related sweg on my lunchbreak

 

[ASTROID2]

I'm getting wrecked by the computer. Even on level 2 I can't get past ribbon girl. I suck...

 

[Pastry]

Wooo finally beat Grand Prix at level 4 with Master Mummy, took me like an hour?

 

[Gradivus]

Wrenched by lv 6 hedlok

 

[Timeaisis]

So there is a single player component to this, right? Just no explicit campaign mode?

 

[LotusHD]

Yea. There's Grand Prix, and stuff like 1 v. 100. Not much though tbh

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Played 2 matches online and got my ass beat by somebody with the hair chick. I haven't been following this game at all, so I went into the grand prix to get some gear and unlock ranked.

Man that took me a whole hour.

Spoiler

I thought there was a 3rd form of the last boss, got so upset lol

Having fun, feels way more challenging than the beta led on.

 

[LegendX48]

Good lord, the only way to beat the ai is by time out >.>

 

[qko]

Mah boy Helix with the beach ball/ dragon combo...

 

[Incitemaybe]

Practice mode bots beating my ass haha

Is the practice mode in depth? Like, can you do dummy record actions at all?

 

[Incitemaybe]

I haven't explored it much at all. I'm just doing very basic tutorials.

 

[molnizzle]

Nope.

It's rough.

 

[LegendX48]

Wasn't expecting that final boss. Finally done with the Grand Prix. Time for the true meat of the game.

Apparently Bandai Namco is credited in ARMS.

Pac-Man ARMS character when!

 

[DrDogg]

I think the Skate Park is easily the worst stage in the game. Movement is messed up, the "skates" just act as shields and allow people to run all day with an extra layer of defense. It's terrible.

How do you aim your ultimate punches at a dashing target?

I just fought a bunch of rounds with a guy who dodged every single time I popped it. I was careful to only pop it when he was in air or had a punch out too. No matter what, he just repeatedly dodged to the left and never got it. I tried the same against him and got nailed every time. WTF?

Sounds like lag, honestly.

Versus mode. 1v1. Infinite time, infinite health, infinite rush. You can tell the AI to do just about anything. You're welcome.

Ribbon girl is absurdly hard to hit. Can only win by time out

You can only make the AI dodge or do nothing. It's pretty bad.

 

[LegendX48]

Music: ARMS band.

There's a pun there, I can smell it

 

[StarPlatinumTheWorld]

My copy of Arms and yellow joy-cons are out for delivery today. I got my ass beat badly in the free weekend, hopefully I'm better than my girlfriend though.

 

[Brainfreeze]

After the E3 tournament and seeing how fast-paced this game can be, I actually really want it (seriously, Nintendo should rely on videos like that for advertising more than the super slow stuff they show in directs). Conveniently enough, my girlfriend just bought a Switch. I'd really love to buy it and play with her... but I just keep remembering that I'd need to pay $60 for the game + $80 for a new set of joycons. This game looks great, but I don't think it's $140 + tax great.

The O.T. is kind of torturing me right now, tbh. I wish I had the money to job into this at launch.

 

[MrBS]

Just fired this up on the bus from work, I cannot play this without motion controls, looks like I'm waiting to I get home. Motion controls for life.

 

[CharminUltra]

Really Amazon would it kill you to deliver a game early for once?

 

[jwk94]

Yo, why is this game so hard?? I'm getting my ass kicked on Rank 3. I was originally going on Rank 4 but I couldn't beat the first fight (Mechanics vs. Master Mummy) =(

Ninjara is the worst,

I know. The good thing is, it keeps you away from the true humiliation that is the online play :/
