ARMS is Out for the Nintendo Switch

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 😉

  2. Oh god, that Dad dating game is about you as a dad and daughter trying to find another dad to be your kid’s dad too. That’s amazing.

  3. It’s so much fun doing the post-game for HG, I’ve been doing good bit of the past week just going back to my copy after 6 months and sweeping the Kanto gyms and routes.

  4. So its kinda confirmed that SONY, Nintendo, and other devs held back this year E3, so what things you want to see, I know I would love these:
    1. Metroid Prime HD Trilogy: As we are getting 4, so like Square with Kingdom Hearts 3, why not put an HD remaster of the original 3 on the current hardware.
    2. Jak 4: Just wishful thinking, but with Naughty Dog re-releasing Jak 1-3 and X on PS4 when Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is out, it kinda gives me hope if we will see a new entry. And the Crash Bandicoot and Shadow of Colossus remake give me hope they are now listening to fans.
    3. Tease of Gen 8: Kinda like how they did with Gen 7 when it was announced, and tease of the behind the scenes would be nice.

  5. So far in my HG game, I’ve done:
    – Beaten Johto/ Main Story
    – Beaten 7 Kanto gym leaders (gonna face Blue soon)
    – Caught Lugia and Suicune (managed to get a Bold nature for Suicune)
    – Basically wrecked all the trainers in Kanto on all the routes
    – Got Bugsy and Chuck’s numbers
    – Attempted Battle Factory
    – Caught Ho-oh

    What I think is the rest of what I still need to do:
    – Beat the BF (it’s a possibility I’ll do this)
    – Catch all legends (Now it’s Entei, Raikou, the birds, Mewtwo, and Kyogre)
    – Beat Blue
    – Rechallenge E4
    – Fight Lance & Clair at the Dragon’s Den
    – Get the rest of the gym leader numbers
    – Gym leader Rematches
    – Fight Red

  6. Aw yis, going to a new boulder gym tomorrow in the neighbourhood. Has anyone ever done some bouldering? I suck at it but it’s good fun.

  7. Well a certain Wal-Mart just lost all credibility with me cause this one Wal-Mart near my grandparents in Lancaster has stopped selling all things Pokemon and Yo-kai Watch permanently there

  8. Gets maths right: Woo fuck yeah maths is amazing it all makes sense

    Gets maths wrong: Fuck everything maths is bullshit why do I need to know what the perpendicular bisecter of a line is fuck yall bye

    • As a math major, even when I get something wrong I’m more inclined to try and figure out what happened rather than dip.
      (Also just b/c you brought it up, the definition of a perpendicular bisector is right there in the name)

      • Oh no I know what it is and I’m kinda confident with my maths and I’m not gonna give up but holy shit is it frustrating XD

      • High school math: Yeah, this all easy, even derivatives and integrals pose no threat to me.

        University math: how the heck do I calculate by hand the spannable eigenspace of a 4×4 matrix with complex eigenvalues that contain irrational components…

          • It will be though!

            Five years later, you’re saying, pfff, why did I ever have trouble with calculus and linear algebra, I’m a master of vector fields and control algorithms now!

          • Eigenvalues were something like (9±sqrt(105))/2 but I do think a double zero though. Eigenvalue calculation wasn’t the problem (since trace and determinant are easy to verify everything), the fact that we could only use a calculator that couldn’t do complex numbers and had to do gaussian elimination by hand made it impossible to do that exercise in the one hour frame we had for that part of the exam. Since we needed the eigenvectors for the SVD, pseudoinverse and also needed to do a QR orthogonalization in that hour too, exam was the biggest fail in my whole student career.

            Solution the professor placed online after results was using lambda as a variable in the guassian elimination and then substituting, but it still gave you troubled equations and a root in root as one of the vectorcomponents.

          • That sounds absolutely disgusting. I haven’t actually taken Linear Algebra yet (next semester!) but I’ve been self teaching. And my girlfriend just did it and was showing me Gram-Schmidt orthoganalization and it didn’t look too fun.

          • You don’t get lin algebra the first semester? Weird since it’s one of the most basic math courses. GS orthogonalization isn’t hard though, it’s just cumbersome since you need to calculate vector after vector.

          • Nope. The pre-requisite is a class called Sets and Logic where I go. I took that last semester. I also decided to finish the calculus sequence (for me, just Calc III) and DEQ.

  9. Well I’m going to just because I feel like it give you leaks on my Platinum version series if you follow it

    The next episode is just training and will be a little shorter than the rest.

    The Episode after will be the Gym Leader Roark

    After that will be focused on Starlord (the Starly)

    And as a far off preview once I obtain it I will have a double in length video about the underground and collecting various items

  10. I’m watching marilland’s Heart Gold Wedlocke as I play

    “I really like Xatu, I sure hope nothing happens to her”
    2 minutes later
    *Self Destruct kills Xatu”

  11. I love how when everyone saw ARMS it looked like a joke game like 1 2 switch but it ended up becoming one of the most hype games in a while
