ARMS Global Testpunch Thread: Let's see if this has LEGS

Still an awesome moment.
Zerk uses grab about 3 times or more consecutively.
Mr. Yubaki has low health, dodges those grabs, throws his own grab and does a juggle combo using rush from the opponent bouncing off the spring board.

Tell that to Yabuki.
Mastering motion controls doesn't happen in 5 mins, as a gamer you should take the challenge. Motion is the most fun and engaging play style

I'd say give it time. I'm a motion control skeptic as well, but they are a big part of what makes ARMS fun and unique in my eyes.
It took until the third test punch for me to feel relatively at ease. So just have fun with it and they'll click, especially once you get good at charging/dodging/jumping. If not there is always Pro controller but I feel the game loses a special something with standard controls.
Could your post be any lamer?
They're bad.
Exactly, I'm not enjoying the motion controls right now but if I was to use my pro controller I think that would be taking away the most unique thing about the game.
I wish people would stop saying things are bad if they don't understand/or get a feel of the controls it takes time to get used to them. It's not going to be instant. Just like playing games with a controller for the first time.

How long have you been playing for? It took me a little while to find my groove and I think it's worth giving it a few play sessions to sink in. I played about three 30 minute sessions over the two weekends and was really enjoying the controls by the end even if I was lost and crummy at first.
If after a few hours you still totally hate it, it may just not be your thing. Some people in the test punch loathed the motion controls but ended up enjoying standard. And if that doesn't work, trade it in!

They are great!
Don't be, they're okay for what they are. Just don't expect a lot against people playing with a regular controller :/

It's supposed to happen at today's Treehouse stream.
Downloading now yay!
People who can't understand basic things make my brain hurt. They work, so they don't suck. You're not used to them. That's fucking IT.

Haha so because I don't like them, I don't understand them? Nice logic jump there.
No, I do understand them and I do not like the motion controls. Just because they work as intended doesn't make them good.
Amen!
People are so used to standard controls (no wonder we're stuck with the same controls since more than 20 years) that they don't want to adapt to new things. They think it's the holy grail.
Like if someone who never had a controller in his hands would immediatly grasp dual stick controls and feel comfortable with it.
Yea.. won't happen

Reminds me when I was primarily a PC guy for a long time. And when i first picked up a 360 controller to play Bioshock back in the day, i couldnt describe how awful i was. I had no idea what the hell i was doing lol
If I want to get game from Japan eShop, I just buy the download code from amazon.co.jp and apply it to the Japan eShop, right?
And then before that, change my Nintendo Account from USA to JPN?
I guess most important is if the game goes to ENG once I set my Nintendo Account back to USA.

If you want, play the game with traditional controls. Once you understand the mechanics, move up to applying them with motion controls.

...hate me...
Can't have too much luck on the day ARMS gets released. But at least it's here
Yeah that's pretty much it.
But the game plays in ENG even before you set you account back to USA, as according to the language your console is set to.

I was taken aback by it as well the first time I played Grand Prix. Nice challenge though.

You ignored mine on the previous page, I guess
Ah, didn't read it. Sorry 'bout that.

That and Byte&Barq was a double surprise since I've never played against them. Fuck you dog!
I'll let go of my pride and start at 4or5 then
Edit: Or just kill people in party mode

Should be as it's already out in Japan. Shame that Splatoon 2's Japanese digital release won't have English as Amazon.jp gave out a 500 yen discount code for that with the purchase of ARMS.

Im ready to sink my teeth into this game. Yabuki an inspiration!
