Arms

JrDude · March 31, 2017, 01:54:10 AM

New fighting game for the Switch.
Discuss.

I think it exists as a Punch Out Alternative, and because the fighters are more robotic-like with their arms able to do stuff like that, it makes it OK for a guy to hit a girl.
In Punch Out for the Wii, apparently Princess Peach was going to be the secret fighter, not Donkey Kong, but violence against women made them change their mind.
In robot punching wars, dubbed Arms, anyone can hit anyone because this is an equality world, also they're probably robots.

is there even a story mode in this game? it just looks like a bad fighting game to me. it seems like it would be worth it if there were a poopload of characters or a story mode, but if theyr'e selling it as like an as is fighting game and it has no depth then it will be garbage. street fighter has so much poop that makes it entertaining, i can't imagine rockin sockin robots beign worth $60

sfv is garbage, but at least it has complicated mechanics at its core that make it entertaining. are there even combos in this? is there a high and low block? are there overheads? can moves be canceled into other moves? are there inputs for the moves? does everyone have a unique playstyle or is it just punching with unique supers? i think i've seen that the characters each have a super and i think there are grabs in the game. can grabs be teched? i feel like there has to be more to it than multiplayer punch out for it to be a good fighting game. i didn't feel like sfv was worth $60 when I bought it, i feel the same way about this.

There actually is a Rockin' Sockin' Robots game. I think it was for PS1 or something. Was actually pretty fun. I only got to play it when I visited my aunt a couple of times, then her then-husband kept putting games into the wrong cases and I could never find it.
It's basically a death match between robots, and when you win, you get some of the robotic limbs of your enemy, which you can use to customize your robot, then try the next opponent.

I don't look at that game and see a 60 dollar value and am not desperate enough for switch games to play it tbh

I'll stick with BotW, Blaster Master Zero, and Mario Kart when it releases.
