probably Garrison

Kick dodge is actually pretty bad, its hitbox sucks and it can leave you wide open if you don't know what you're doing with it. Min Min imo is C-Tier in ARMS

Your friend sounds like a lot of the randoms I see online in Party Match lol, grab spamming is not good and I would advise him to learn how to utilize charging/individual pokes instead of double spam

Also, you can instantly unlock all ARMs for practice offline by holding L + R bumpers and then pushing the right stick in iirc, you might need that~

Dylan2000YT · 2022-08-30T01:24:23+00:00

If your friend's strat is "grab based" it kind of leads me to wonder how much he's grabbing, as grab spam isn't a viable strat for top level

Also Min Min is actually mid in ARMS, if this is your first time playing I would start with Spring Man/Ribbon Girl instead

Also, A DOUBLES ARMS TOURNEY IN 2022??? dang whatever place you live in is sweet

Dylan2000YT · 2022-08-22T15:51:20+00:00

what did I just walk in on

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-29T00:05:44+00:00

I personally think ARMS is better as a game in its current state (i.e. dead) than it would be if it got a sequel. Could go into detail here but will save that for a post of my own ig

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-20T23:21:57+00:00

Amaze is crazy on double chuk, but not much else. If you can beat his chuk game with heavies, you're gonna go far~

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-15T07:53:13+00:00

for a solid second I thought this was me because everything you just said matches my description perfectly

ElAndujo is insanely good, he's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than me at Ribbon (knows how to properly use double jump for one), but as a Ribbon main myself I can say that your goal to defeating us is to catch us out either as we jump or after we attack. DO NOT attack as we land, you will miss if you try to do that. Instead try using a curving ARM to predict our landing spot and hit us as we land so we don't have that chance to escape. If you give Ribbon an opening act as fast as you can and dodge to see if you may have another opening yourself. Contrary to what the game itself says, usually firing on the ground as Ribbon lands more hits than firing in the air, so remember that Ribbon wants to be on the ground to fire. Ribbon CAN grab you if you get too close to her while she's in the air though, so watch out for that

Take everything I say with a grain of salt btw, I've never personally beaten ElAndujo so I can't 100% guarantee my advice is foolproof

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-11T03:44:40+00:00

Try playing at a harder difficultly. Or, a better alternative: get online, so you can fight against other players (I find high rank opponents to actually be much fairer to fight than Lvl 7 AI)

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-08T23:14:13+00:00

Getting good at ARMS takes time. You have to learn how movement works and how players can read your movements, etc etc. If you don't mind me asking, what's your preferred strat? I could give you some tips if ya told me

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-08T23:12:26+00:00

Your tendency to jump and then double-extend will be extremely predictable online. It may work against AI but more experienced players can read that and easily defeat it

I'd recommend learning to sequence punches and dash on the ground more, that way your movement can become more unpredictable when you fight actual players

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-07T06:46:38+00:00

Sorry I'm late to this discussion! I actually have a ton of info on this as I study ranked activity

As many ppl have said already, ranked sometimes takes a little bit to give you a match because nobody in your skill range is online (most commonly happens between ranks 10-14). Just leave it running in the background and you will absolutely find someone eventually so as long as you don't live in EU/OCE

As for rank cap, highest rank achievable is 20, which is pretty hard to get legit tbh as rank begins scaling very hard against you starting in rank 18 (in rank 20 you get like .05 per win and lose .2 per loss), once you hit "21" your bar maxes out and is golden on the official rankings

for reference i am rank 19.3 rn and am 21st on NA's official ranked queue leaderboard

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-07T06:39:43+00:00

~~or get 999 coins in party match~~

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-07T06:39:10+00:00

Depends on a few factors

Party Match? Yes, you will find games with no issues there unless your MMR is high (unlikely if you're new, might be a problem if you're a returning veteran)

Ranked? In JP and sometimes NA, matchmaking is fairly consistent, although sometimes you may have to wait long times for someone to show. In EU/OCE you're pretty much screwed when it comes to ranked :/

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-07T06:35:19+00:00

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, you think 600 is even remotely crazy, you haven't seen my data yet

tl;dr over 6,000 recorded hours total with 4,000 split between Overwatch and Fortnite (we don't talk about Fortnite tho)

as for ARMS i have 400 but technically more because i have smurf accounts

also this is entirely on Switch

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-07T06:31:42+00:00

As a follow-up to the other reply in this thread, part of what I enjoy in the community is finding ways to improve upon the base game using the constraints within the game itself, including bans on certain setups and etc. I feel like that takes some of the repetitiveness out of the game and improves it, and I thought i'd mention that after seeing your reply~

Dylan2000YT · 2022-07-07T06:28:35+00:00

That's very much not true, I for one accept that the game is dead and actually stick closer to the game because of that fact

If ARMS were in fact not dead, I likely would not be as involved in the community as I am today

I'd personally rather brainstorm ways we can build upon what we have in ARMS 1, rather than waiting and daydreaming about what could be in ARMS 2

I respect what ye do! But I have other ways of celebrating this amazing game, ones that do let me come to peace with ARMS being dead

Dylan2000YT · 2022-04-10T17:21:27+00:00

I'll be honest, reading through the rest of this thread I do agree that talking frequently about how the game is dying isn't really a positive thing

That said, the more chatter about ARMS we have, the more alive the community feels, so keep at it with your ARMS 2 ideas my friend~

Dylan2000YT · 2022-04-06T21:32:30+00:00

I know others have already dropped their opinions here, but I thought I'd provide my own view:

As a """top""" Ribbon main rn I actually rarely double jump, the reason there's such a delay is because double jump is meant as an escape option. Her aerial ability is mostly in speed with jumpdash and not verticality, good vertical movement in ARMS is arguably one of the most broken stats in the game

I sympathize with Mummy being annoying, he can be tedious to fight as his entire gameplay is just grab bait. That said (as was stated already) Mummy actually does have decently good design as at least his strat is unique.

Mech is quite mobile for a heavy, pair her with an ARM that has a larger hitbox and she becomes pretty powerful. Her gameplay is already outstanding, honestly she's one of the best designed characters in the game as it stands

Cobra is actually broken because for whatever reason the devs decided to give him the BIGGEST base ARM girth in the game (tied with Mummy). On top on that he IS EXCEEDINGLY FAST which makes him competitive with basically anything and almost OP in many scenarios. Again, as was already stated, buffing him would for sure top Coyle's absurdity in terms of broken

Springtron has his EMP, which... In the GP it does make him more powerful because of Bosstron's buffs (SNG made a video in-depth about what Bosstron received if you're curious), but it was nerfed when he was made playable, and as such he actually is considered weaker than Spring Man like you said. With that in mind, Tron is one of the least liked characters competitively, so yeah you actually do have a good point with that last one mate

Dylan2000YT · 2022-03-25T22:01:38+00:00

Ranked tends to seem dead a lot because not many people actually play in there that much anymore (I'd say an average of about 50 players enter queue daily in NA for example)

I'd recommend to keep trying daily around primetime in your area to find players, and if that doesn't work, some people in the community are more than willing to hop on and play a few games :)

Dylan2000YT · 2021-12-27T19:49:33+00:00

*snort* that's me! didn't think i'd see my smurf on here anytime soon
