It seems many Nintendo fans are enjoying the company’s new fun and frantic fighting game ARMS for the Switch which has been released to most of the world.
If you’ve got it, or want it, who will you be maining (or choosing as your main character). With a range of silly characters, from a globby DNA-based character to undead mummy, there’s probably one that has caught your attention.
Personally I’m a Kid Cobra stan and luckily my roommate purchased the game so I’ll practice and then hopefully see a few of you online 😉
ARRGGHGHHHHHHHHHH STUPID SPRING MAN
WHY DOES NOTHING I DO EVER FREAKING WORK
Well f*ck Sweet Kiss is a crummy move and A.Raichu only learns Electric terrain via Egg move, well Topaz’s moves
Brick Break
Nasty Plot
Thunderbolt
Psychic
And No I am not rebreeding for an in game team I don’t do that I live with what I get
Replace Brick Break with Grass Knot
Where can I Grass Knots TM? I don’t have it yet
Lush Jungle. You can also try Focus Miss. http://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/tm.shtml
WHY BRICK BREAK INSTEAD OF FD OF FOCUS BLAST OR GRAASS KNOT
I don’t have either of those and funny my Topaz has higher Physical attack then Special by 2 points
What nature and EV’s does it have?
Not sure of EV’s (if I had to add those manually none) and Jolly
Oh, Jolly makes special attack go down. For A.Raichu you really want Timid or Modest. If you like I can breed you one in a Fast Ball? Its’ physical movepool and stat in general isn’t particularly good.
Nah I probably will trade all my Valuables for Spe.Attack boosters then teach Grass knot, Focus Blast isn’t the edge I’m looking for
It really won’t help you enough, if it’s in-game then it doesn’t really matter either way. If you are going to use Jolly Brick Break and Wild Charge are your best options, the latter of which has recoil damage.
Only problem if I tried to add moves now best moves available to add are Speed Swap and Quick attack and Thundershock
You’d have to rely on TM’s.
Actually I think I will rebreed Topaz for Electric Terrain and Timid
I can breed you a parent if you like, you’ll have to evolve it from Pichu before you can breed it again though.
Alright I’ll take it to Poni coast (My entire team trained their now they are in 40’s)
Well it evolves by friendship, my suggestion would be to feed it loads of stat reducing berries whilst holding the soothe bell. I guess I can do it for you, it usually uses around 25 berries which isn’t that hard to just grow again.
THEN I GUESS ITS A WRONG TOPAZ
YOU GOTTA BE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT OR YOU. WILL. LOOOOOSE
Not necessarily but I’d agree Physical attack isn’t great on it.
Lol like you can lose in game
If its an in game team then go ahead. Just dont try it competitive
Is this in game or comp?
In game
Then dont listen to Earthen its just ingame. It doesnt matter too much
Yeah I wish I would’ve know before hand to breed him to get Electric terrain so he could be useful with its ability
I might have an extra Pichu with electric terrain
UGHHAHAHHHRGI9Y2Y802801YUE8021Q3YH8R213U
WHY CAN’T I BEAT NINJARA OR SPRING MAN
THEY HAVE SUCH BROKEN OP STAGES THAT WORK TO MY DISADVANTAGE
AND NONE OF B&B’S ARMS ARE EFFECTIVE ONE BIT
JUST ONCE I WANT TO WIN
Dude it’s because your new to the game of course you’ll suck and lose and shit
Just git good
I HATE THAT SAYING SO FREAKING MUCH ITS SO FREAKING PATRONIZING
A Physical Hidden Power would be amazin! However Physical Pokemon already are pretty good, so maybe not… What type of moves woul dyou guys like to see?
I think it would be good, stops the need to invest in special attack or having a low power move for physical attackers just for coverage. I’d like to see quick attacks for more types, like Fire. Maybe a terrain blocker/remover that also gets rid of weather?
Every type and attack category (besides status) should have an accessible, reliable move like Dazzling Gleam, Shadow/Energy Ball, and Bolt/Beam/Thrower
A physical fairy type move, they only have one
YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME THE ONE TIME I RUN OUT THE CLOCK TO ZERO HIS GRAB STILL GOES THROUGH AND KILLS ME UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE
I’VE BEEN ON THIS DAMN FIGHT FOR 2 HOURS NOW
Is raging on here helping? Maybe take a break, refresh a bit and return to it.
NOTHING EVER HELPS, EITHER I FIGHT UNTIL I WIN OR DESTROY MYSELF IN THE PROCESS
You can return to the fight until you win, just go have some refreshment and maybe some fresh air.
HOW I LOST 19 TIMES IN A ROW BECAUSE HOW OVERPOWERED SPRING MAN IS AND THIS IS ONLY LEVEL 4 DIFFICULTY
You’ll get it with practice eventually. You only just got the game, don’t expect to be expert level straight away.
JUST PICK A NEW CHARACTER HOLY SHIT
i’m using Byte and Barq
I would recommend trying every character
why bother nothing i freaking do ever works
yea but then you can find a play style you like and work with it instead of bitching
like it will make a slight difference
everything spams grabs and most stages are a constant issue (mostly spring man’s, cobras and ninjara)
Then try them if you can’t beat the top characters use them to see if you can do the same
Cobras is a great stage
i think you mean broken, unless you get on those stupid dics you are completely screwed
http://i.imgur.com/TrOpf00.png
When will everyone understand he wants to be mad. Hes not looking for encouragement. He justs want to be mad, and make everyone else mad with him. Hes toxic to this community and scaring off new people.
Well maybe that’s your problem when ever we suggest trying things out (Arms and Showdown) you say its not your style, but try going outside your comfort zone and trying new characters and you may find one that gives you the right edge to win it never hurts to try them
Im getting tired of your constant raging.
well i’m tired of constantly feeling like a pathetic piece of shit day in and day out
Grahhh can’t decide what sounds better an Electric/Grass or Electric/Ice?
Depends what it’s for.
Pikaclone a Pine Marten or Artic Lemming (Its obvious which holds which type)
Pine Marten is def Electric/ice 😛
Every time I see your avatar I laugh at its expression and the Luigi hat its just… hilarious
BWAHHH

Do both.
Ooo that would be cool it could be like Plusle and Minun are
That was my thought 🙂
Ugh, PokeBank has locked me out again. Always happens when I need to breed for someone else orz
Did you pay the yearly fee yet?
Yeah, it just gets a connection issue which I’m sure is on their end and then it locks me out for a bit. The Pikachu I need to breed your Pichu is in there. I will have to try again in a bit.
Alright, take your time no rush
well i’m done with arms…..clearly i suck and feel incredibly stupid for buying it
tell something to draw
Master Mummy 😛
Draw Rhyperior and Excadrill
i hear Rhyperdrill
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5e557e0871003e186fb083d9035351a850acc8900feb1018410ebcfe77c991e0.jpg
Can’t you easily sell it someone else if you don’t like it that much? Surely there must be someone wanting the game for only slightly lower than full price.
Yeah, I know some people who would love to play, but can’t afford full price, try asking around~
You can’t sell digital downloads
well that your fault
You don’t suck at ARMS, you suck with Master Mummy
NO MASTER MUMMY IS ALWAYS AT A DISADVANTAGE
AND I’VE BEEN TELLING YOU I’VE BEEN USING B&B
Try using other characters, I would recommend Ribbon Girl or Kid Cobra to fight against grab-spamming
i don’t want to use ribbon girl or that snek
If you want to win you have to try different things
they have to nerf Ninjara and Spring Man
SPRING MAN NERF?! Lol
his second ability gives him insta charged punches, and that stage of his ius super annoying
You gotta be kidding me
It’s the least gimmicky stage in the game and super charge punches are literally nothing if you can move at all
Also do you happen to have the Megawatt? I highly reccomend it, it’s a better megaton
who are you freaking using and what difficultly, i’ve been having severe trouble all day today and yesterday and i cannot be the only one not getting any issues
With that stage and spring man you are, literally no one complains about him
It’s just Ribbon and Ninjara
And by the way, I’m a Helix main, I know how heavy arms work
Always the jumping into the springboards and the insta charges knocking me around in a single hit
I’m just so sick of freaking losing, it took me freaking 28 matches just to beat Spring Man with B&B nothing truly worked so I had to be a hippocrit and just bait it and grab and wait out the clock
“Byte and Barq”
I think that’s the problem
Why is everything always a problem
Because they’re the actual shittiest character from what i seen
*Bangs head into wall* why….why……why does all the ones I like end up being the worst….I try my hardest…….I play with my heart and soul, the universe owes me huge
I actually liked Byte too
Mummy actually isn’t the worst,he’s better than Mechanicha, Byte, and to some Springman
I highly bed to differ on spring man,
Nah, just cause you … I actually have zero idea how you lost that much to a shitty character like that
Maybe you just suck at mummy, that could be it
I KEEP TELLING YOU THE STUPID STAGE AND HIS INSTA CHARGED PUNCHES ARRGRGGGHHHHH
But neither one of those are overpowered
And compared to other stage his stage is nearly gimmickless,even Min mins bowl has more gimmickyness to it
And Insta charged punches aren’t bad because if you have the lead on him, yu can kill him before he does much of anything
YES THEY ARE HAVE YOU JUST NOT BEEN PLAYING OR JUST BASING THIS ON REVIEW
even on level 4 I had immense trouble because nothing would land because he was always bouncing around and attacks barely hit hard enough, next thing I knew every punch that touched me slightly or clipped me knocked me back
I played , yes I played
1. You were playing Byte and Barq
2. You nddd to balance out some grabs with those punches
3. Learn to dodge
I WAS CONSTANTLY DODGING
I GRABBED EVERYTIME HE TRIED TO GRAB ME
NOTHING STILL WORKS
If you say so
I want to tell you a story…
Once upon a time, there was this… Rhino, named… Rocks! Rocks was a tough rhino because every day he dedicated himself to being tough. he was abrasive, brawny, and brick solid.
But then there was this monster that came along named… Army. Army was a soldier, and very, very tough… Rocks challenged Army to a fight, and lost his hide badly that day, he became very angry and sad. Army laughed at Rocks like a jerk, he teased him every day and made him feel bad to the point Rocks felt he needed to leave.
But a young cow calf came along, Her name was Cowlia, and she was new around these parts. She was very delicate… In passing, Rocks saw her struggling with her stuff, and shrugged and kept going, she pleaded for some help. No one else answered, so the rhino got mad and finally offered to help her out of a weird kind of spite. When they got to her new place, he set down the bags, and she asked him to stay for dinner, he declined and left, thinking he would regret that later due to his hunger. Rocks was just about to leave when he heard a scream coming from the town, he hustled back in to see Cowlia was gonna be eaten by Army, in that moment, he rushed in trying to help her, not even thinking about his hate, but then everything went black… When he awoke, Cowlia was tending to him, but how was that possible… he lost. “I gotta say mister, i cannot thank you enough” Rocks Replied “no, i wasn’t tough enough to help you, period!” But Cowlia smiled and said “I saw you beat him to a pulp, don’t you remember?” It was true, Army was all beaten up! “But… how?” Cowlia Pondered this and replied. “I guess you got so mad, you completely clobbered him, almost like you snapped, and yet, somehow you did…” So as it turned out, he did snap, but his last known memory from the black out, something he still remembers, was that cow girl, he actually cared about her so much in his rage, he fought to save her, instead of trying to beat up his rival. In that moment, he realized he was tough because of his dedication, his feelings, his lack of inhibitions. The only thing he could do in that moment is smile, and say two words harder than life itself for him… “Thank… You…” after that, the two continued fighting about silly things, But Cowlia Never forgot what Rocks did for her, and Rocks never forgot, he didn’t need to be tough to win, he just needed a sense of purpose, and a reason.
The End~
(Claps) YES!! ITS ANAZING
*amazing
Just feel angrier
I gotta say, Arms has a pretty sharp learning curve, they put you in the grand prix, it seems so easy, then you try to fight in versus for further practice… But that’s ok, the game looks great and is still cool to play, my siblings might like it, but i gotta teach em how to play, deers~
Well at least you are enjoying it, make sure to share the fun with those deer to you 🙂
That was cute, deer~
But i gotta admit, Mechanica had to have whooped my Plot a good 6 or seven times until i started to fight back… It’s a great workout game too, i was sweating by the end, my fur was just a little matted from it, heehee~
what difficulty
I’m not much of a fighter yet, so i went default of 2…
i’ve only done 4 and up
it only gets worse
If anyone can power through it though, it’s you!
You are tough, now you can really prove it!
Meaningless flattery doesn’t get you anywhere pinky
Oh deer, make sure to groom afterwards down by the river 😉
I am actually there now, Deer~
It’s hot where i live, so i had a little water fun and cooled off, then shook myself dry and the matting was gone! So I feel as strong as a Gogoat today~
So my tiny team so far is going to be Toxapex, Chandelure, Ferrothorn not sure what else rn. Probably need something to fight A.Muk and A.Marowak, I’m thinking K.Dugtrio.
Just want to say.
Frost Cavern is NO joke when it comes to nuzlockes. Those trainers killed a total of 5 pokemon! One in cluding my MVP and another being my ongest member to that point. Ugh Not a pleasant time
Who you got left?
After the massacre, I was left with Inky (Malamar) and Aurorus. I just got finihed grinding a team up to level which isnt fun, but had to be done
Agreed…. on several levels
So, anyone playing through any games?
Splatoon, Showdown, Warcraft daily
Arms and M&L SSS (which I frisking can’t do anymore until I buy a charger)
And Minecraft to try and relax (not working in the slightest)
Moms birthday, will be gone for a bit
I’m starting to do a White Nuzlocke
Oh what ya doiiin on it
I’m still on Accumula town. My team is:
Ba’Gamnan the Patrat
Ron Figaro the Snivy
No, i Got some Patreon work to do.
Patreon?
Yep, I make art and people support me, i have 10 people pledging money to me for my art, deer~
Why do you need money don’t you still got a couple Gs left
(And is it still Anthro stuff)
Well, it doesn’t hurt to have a backup plan…
And yeah, anthro is what i do, you know that~
I still remember that horrifying Cosmog thing
Heyy awesome! Congratulations! Man we got some good Artists here. You StarStorm. Just awesome. Congratz!
Thank you, deer~
Y nuzlocke is my main rn. Also playing some Smash on the side. Showdown every once in a while
I’m thinking about doing a Crystal Nuzlocke while breeding my tiny team.
Okay, I asked yesterday but I need more data
Since I am unable to get the full game till sometime next week (after Sunday) How are Byte and Barq? I know Cobra is good but I’m worried about Robocop and his pet dog
You should just try them all yourself when you get it to see what best suits you.
His starting arms SUUUUUUUUCK, the yellow missle never shoots straight
The party popper doesn’t do anything and the glove hardly does any damage
The dog just gets in the way
Oh that’s good
Does the dog do anything? I know how his arms are
HOW IS THAT GOOD
The Arm shoots seldom and you’d think he’d block attacks for ya but nope
It’s sarcastic
How’s the jump? And what’s his best use
(His arms aren’t relevant simply because you can get new ones)
I am in zero mood for sarcasm, it’s not even noon and I clawed my arm in rage
His jump is okish, his best use is nothing
Oh boi that’s great considering his abilities
How much does the dog’s mouth fist do?
Like 30
Fucking beautiful, good job this was a well made character
He needs buffs..
I’ve never been so salty over a goddamn ending, I still can’t get over it
So if we take the construction areas in Alola as gyms, what types do we think they’ll be?
@irvinap:disqus your Pika is ready, would you be able to take it in around 4 hours from this post?
Sure I probably can get here then
Well going off what I did last time. Im doing Ghost today.
What are your general thoughts about the Ghost type?
What is your favorite and least favorite Ghost type Leader/Pokemon?
General Thoughts- Ghost Types are pretty cool. I used to think they were overrated because it seemed like everyone’s favorite type is ghost type. But now I dont understand they are just cool. Maybe they are overrated, but I can see why. Their designs are very cool, and who doesnt love the way Shadow Ball looks?
Fave Ghost Leader- Acerola. I just love her cute face, and attitude. The way she doesnt look like someone who would handle Pokemon of the dead.
Least Fave Leader- Shauntal. Meh He just isnt as interesting as the others. Also I still think Shauntal is a boyt. and since I dont see different I dont like him
Fave Ghost Pokemon- Gengar. His chubby body. His spiky back. His cute Smile. I just love this thing. I honestly didnt realize how much I love Gengar until recently. I can understand the massive hype for this. And its pretty good in battle
Least Fave Ghost- Spiritomb. It just isnt cool to me. I couldnt get it in DIamond because it was nearly impossible, it annoyed me so much. Plus it stole Sableye’s Niche.
Thoughts: Absolutely hated them just as much as psychic and fairy, never once liked them especially because everyone else liked them
Favorite leader: none
Favorite Ghost: Golurk say what you will about it it’s still a giant stone/clay robot Pokemon I’d like it if it were steel or rock
Least favorite: Mimikyu and Gengar they sicken me
Thoughts- I actually love this typing and is my favourite one, they have very cool designs, cool attacks and Pokedex entries as well.
Fav Ghost leader- Fantina. I love how instead of being creepy or mysterious, is fabulous, such an unique take on Ghost gym leaders.
Least fav- Morty. He’s kinda boring imo
Fave Ghost- Chandelure. It’s also my fav Pkm, it’s so cute, a great Spe attack, lovely dex entries and an amazing shiny. I really like it’s appearance in Pokken as well.
Least fav- Misdreavus. Doesn’t have a very interesting design and it feels bland to me, but I like its evolution Mismagius.
ACEROLA
General: I adore all the ghosties, they’re just awesome
Fave leader: Acerola – ADORABLE, perma :3 face
Least fave: Shauntal
Fave mon: Marshadow
Least Fave: Mismagius
Fav. Leader Accerola or Shauntal
Least Favorite: Agatha
Favorite: Gengar
Least: not sure
FUCKING WHY HEDLOK WHYYYYYYYYYYYY
MAX BRASS WASNT ENOUGH
I JUST WANT TO FINISH THIS GRAND PRIX
In your opinion, what type has the blandest designs?
Rock imo
Rock imoawtbh, but atleast it has a few gems like Gigalith and Minior
Ayyyyy
I swear if everyone just says rock ground or fighting I’m going to murder you all
Learn to handle opinions ?
You just don’t have much taste
I see them for their real beauty
What beauty?
Their beautiful just the way they are
Seraph, everything has beauty but not everyone can see it, Earthen can see beauty in ground types, we can’t, we can see beauty on giving good arguments, Earthen can’t
😛
Ayyyy!
I hate you all…..I truly truly do…..
I love you too :p
Don’t I suffer enough…..
Rock outside of two mons
Actually I lied outside four
Rock with a few exceptions
Oh, Absolutely 1000% Rock and Fighting. Remove legendaries and Dragon is also super bland.
IM THE LUCKIEST MAN EVER TODAY
I decided to try my luck in Wonder Trade and BOOM!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/96e791701309cdfacaef8ddd4b58b0d0ea6febcfbf35285f1109a1c37c5c60fb.jpg
(Probably hacked) level 100, good moveset and in dusk ball (jelaous Earthen?)!
So I go in to the talk Grass to see this Bad Boy in Action and BOOOOOOOOOM
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eea4c9cbc5da5c829d050106223cf204d50c5c86fc454db2de9a3dc3614a2e37.jpg
I have a Shiny Nidoking and Queen
OTP
Otp?
One true pairing
It’s basically your biggest ship, but I’m just saying it ironically
I have no true pairing, my life is a lonesome road I travel myself and only myself
Earthen won’t be jealous if it’s probably hacked
But ngl I’m jealous of the Pelipper, such a nice simple shiny
It is a hack, blue may be rare but PURPLE IS EPIC
Those aare hackroonis
Pelipper is random encounter, but Nidoking probably is
Yay
http://pa1.narvii.com/5719/3643099cf9bdce2f86e8e2e4117472be7a888c8c_hq.gif
Yeah, he’s cool, but I prefer Shiny Blue
Run, the shinies are clearly coming for you, this is just the beginning ?
Congrats on the shiny btw ^^
Shinedemic
Just checked: Nido has a Life Orb and it says he came from Hoenn
And he has a Timid nature
Absolutely a hack
Yeah. But Why does it say he’s from Hoenn?
ORAS
He would’ve been bred in ORAS if he’s legal
But he’s not? Like there are 1% chances that he’s legal. He’s Shiny, level 100, with good moves AND a Timid nature
Check the IVs without a doubt if they’re perfect hacked
And even more so if it has sheer force
It has Sheer force
Get it through your soft skull that it is a wonder trade hack,
Fheer Shorce
I know. I literaly said that 4 comments above
‘if he’s legal’
You never know if its hacked. It could be real.
Or it genned to say where it was from
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/75ad8195b9b3b1f63ab171616b85d8eeda8545ae255cb1915855bd4bf19cb79f.jpg
That moment you accidentally select two Guardians
Wat
This face
He meant the select 2 guardians thing
^^^^
Oh yeah, I mean in arms when you select two guardians
Wait a second he looks familiar
Death the Kid
With the symmetrical issues
And the two cute chicks
He’s perfect
What’s the best moveset for Pelipper?
Hydro Pump
Hurricane
Disregard everything else
Wait nvm go Scald like earthen said
I hate that move so much……….
What? I thought it was your fave ?
No it has caused me literally nothing but unrelenting fear and stress
Always worrying that it will easily ruin me if remotely touches me
They need to either nerf scald’s burn chance or nerf burn’s attack reduction
And on the subject make a status move cut special attacks so it’s fair
Scald
Hurricane
Filler
Tailwind
Also Roost
Feh
Knock off is also nice

I’m obsessed with this anime and need to stop , but this scene is perfect p
Hold still *grabs a sledgehammer*
What’s wrong with this scene?
It’s from Soul Eater ?
But it’s actually rather decent as an anime until the ending
U said you needed to stop, ergo I’ll go Ghallager on your melon
Really? I did not like this one. Everyone loves it but it was way too silly for me. The characters annoy me, and the ending made me want to turn it off
Think I’m gonna wondertrade when I get home, hope I get something good :0
Wonder trade, the place where you:
-Send a shit Pkm to receive another shit Pkm
-Send a shit Pkm to receive another shit Pkm
-Send a shit Pkm to receive another shit Pkm
-Send a shit Pkm to receive shiny Lv 100 Arceus with Max EVs and IVs
-Send a shiny Lv 100 Arceus with Max EVs and IVs to receive a shit Pkm
WHY I WAS SO CLOSE TO BEATING HEDLOK JUST FOR A HEAL THING TO SPAWN RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM
So youre really just gonna spam caps, and complain about ARMS all day? Pretty pathetic dont you think? lol
Until you play arms you can’t criticize my actions
Hedlok is extremely difficult
But I just did.
You don’t even have a switch
Theres one in my house. I just dont own it. I meant I just criticized you because you complain about exetreme things. IIts probably not even that hard since you complain about everything
Well it very much is, look around the Internet plenty of others are getting thrashed
But you on the other hand unless you fight Hedlok and understand how much pain he is don’t even bother talking to me because I think you just do it to antagonize me
No, Im saying this to you because I dont care how hard the fight is. Im saying something because youre annoying everyone. Literally no one hear ones to see your constant “OMF THIS IS SO HARD” Do you know nobody wants to join a site where every 5 minuews someone is spamming how much they hate somethin, and its not even Pokemon related, and you are always cursing. So Idc how hard the fight is, but you constantly cbeing abulgar isnt going to solve anything.Stop it
Tbh, I do agree with Casc, Ian. I think you need to tone it down a bit
Always against me….
I’ve been doing the same Grand Prix for 7 hours now……
Maybe go into practice mode for a bit and get better at stopping grabs or whatever else you have trouble with
It’s freaking Hedlok and I’m stuck as B&B how you seen how evil this thing is?!
I’ve fought him in Test Punch. He’s supposed to be insanely hard like Taboo in Smash Bros
That’s nothing in test you had 3 people
This time he has
-6 arms
-a very spacious battlefield
-arms are permanently charged
-scary high HP
And I’m on level four and I’ve only KOd him a few times only getting tougher and smarter reading every input.
