Well, it basically grants invulnerability frames no matter what. I've seen players use it to avoid some stuff not even Ribbon Girl can avoid due to the ability to strike almost completely laterally. It's pretty much a sure-fire defense against everything we have seen.

Totally agree. Lot of low level play right now sadly. Few are even bothering to charge their arms or use character skills like Spring Man's deflection. Ninjara's teleport is just a dash action so players using him are already at an advantage at this point because other players are rarely using their character's actions and options.
I liked that Min Min from a bit ago who, right out the gate, charged her dragon arm to improve the left arm's effects and got a 2-0 victory for it.
That Master Mummy player early on blocked a LOT. Too much. I thought he was baiting, but the Spring Man player caught him too many times.
Granted, MM heals when he blocks, but still.
Noticed that as well, except with mummy who regenerates while blocking. Would like to see this game either from a sole perspective or third person view. Might make it a bit better to watch.
okay that spring man bodied. That twisty arm thing seems crazy hard to dodge and he was beating out grabs and countering.

The Ninjara kept sending both arms to his left together too much, but his opponent never blocked it...

I'm getting so many flashbacks to that Smash 4 "tournament" shown off before release where Bowser of all characters was looking OP.
Turns out that if you just charge face first into every big hitting attack, yeah, it'll look pretty overpowered.

This game definitely needs some sort of spectator/Director mode. Ideally with multiple camera's that can easily be switched between.

Mummy guy better win it all.

This last Mummy VS Ninjara match was a great example of how grabs are vulnerable and can be fought. Grabs are also landing a lot because players are not being mobile because the grabs fly just as well as a punch, in fact after that last game I kind of wonder if they track even less looking at their arcs.
The last round was the best example as Mummy stood blocking, baited the throw and then jumped out of his guard to punish. Multiple hitting ARMs like Revolver also beat the grab attempt as any one of the three shots will work on that wide box of the grab.

Mummy's Bird arms are "Phoenix".
Looks like it goes the opposite direction of the boomerang types where it goes low flies up as opposed to the boomerang's wide.

Damn Master Mummy put in some work.

Yeah, the Ribbon Girl was super unpolished. No Fast Falls or triple jumps, pretty poor spacing, spamming grab against a multishot ARM. Total disaster.

beta
html5 stream is delayed a bit compared to flash btw
Ah, thanks, gonna stick with the PC then
Likely going have the nerf bat taken to it before release then. They need to find a way to balance that.

This is the most unappealing fighter I've seen in a long time. It makes me wonder if the game wasn't developed by Nintendo, it would be instantly written off as a clunky arena fighter.

It looks like a game developed by Nintendo because yet again they're re-inventing a genre.

I guess it's ARMS' turn to get Belda'd.
Y'all wouldn't like this game if it were called "LEGS" instead of "ARMS"
