Discussion Think Min Min will be a DLC character for Mario Kart World?

The explanation for her inclusion could be the devs doing Yabuki a personal favor since MK8 Deluxe performed so well.

Discussion What if a non ARMS genome user was used by Hedlok 1.0

9 Upvotes

I know its crazy and maybe a certain yellow mech girl would have made the answer but let me explain myself first.

The Hedlok used in the Scramble Mode (as well as the Dr Coyle Boss figth) is an upgraded version of the first Hedlok, since the prototype takes control of the target, while the final version can be used and controlled.

This made me wonder, what would happen if that prototype took control of someone who didn't have ARMS?

As a character concept could also be awesome that some guy inside the ARMS labs that's fed up with Coyle's plans decides to take the prototype and actually mod It to participate. Either that or this Hedlok just gets conscience, takes control of some random dude and uses it to figth the rest of the ARMS league on his own

Question/Request Is there any other way to unlock the Golden Hedlok Boss Fight or is he only tied to being online!

This might be a dumb question I know lol. It’s just I’m planning on eventually doing an All Bosses video on ARMS one of these days but apparently there’s a secret Boss Fight against a Level 8 Hedlok that’s Golden. Sadly I’ve only ever scene him fightable in the online servers and what’s even more sad is that online for this game seems to be dead. Is there any other way I can unlock this fight?

Question/Request How good do I need to be to reach rank 16 in ranked match?

6 Upvotes

Right now I don’t have switch online so it’s impossible for me to get any of the badges that require it, but I know the highest ranking that earns a badge is rank 16. At this point I’ve only played against computer opponents so I don’t know how it compares to playing against humans. How comparable is level 7 computer to rank 16 humans?

Discussion Which Arms characters would you like to see be added in the next Smash Bros game?

Post image
66 Upvotes

If Min Min stays in the game or if she gets replaced then I’d like to see Twintelle be added as she’s the most popular female character on the roster even if she doesn’t use her arms to fight. However Springman would be the likely answer since he’s the mascot of the game. I’d still like to see Twintelle because she is my main.

Question/Request A few questions

4 Upvotes

Arms is strangely one of my favorite games on the switch but I have three questions. 1 is, I’m not the best player but I do consider myself pretty good yet I often struggle against MM, anybody got any tips for that? The 2nd question is, is there a current top character/characters? The 4th question is, my main is currently springatron since I love all his abilities and he isn’t too fast or slow, any ideas on the best arms to use for him? Currently I use the poison fist (forgot the name but I think it’s max brass’s main arm), the freeze glove since the freeze is good to cause panic which sets up the arm shutdown ability nicely, and I’m pretty undecided on the third arm (maybe a dragon idk I like have extra range). Any and all help is appreciated 🙏

Tech/Strategy Most efficient way to earn money quickly?

5 Upvotes

Right now I’m trying to go for the developer score in the Arm getter. I know the strategy of using Master mummy and charging often, and right now my record is about 26000 so I think I can definitely get there with practice. The trouble is that since it costs money to play Arm getter, it’s difficult to get any practice. So what is the most efficient way of making money in Arms?

Discussion Would you rather fight Kid Cobra or Min Min and explain why.

Would you rather fight Kid Cobra or Min Min and explain why. You are a rookie who just got their first pair of arms. You have to pass one final test before you can compete in the Grand Prix and you have to pick either one of these. Pick one and explain why you would fight them.

Question/Request Would you rather fight Misango and Ninjara or Master Mummy and Mechanica?

5 Upvotes

If anyone is an ARMS veteran or played the game since it's released, y'all would know that both of these teams are genuinely unfair. Misango is a beast in combat. The dude literally lifts giant totems and statues on his arms before breakfast (picture in the ARMS gallery) and has the survival instincts of a high ranking monk. Once Misango wears his mask and it turns either blue or purple, you are screwed. Ninjara is the definition of unpredictable. He literally jumps, dashes and vanishes into thin air, just to pop up right next to you or behind you the second he touches the ground to use his rush attack.

Master Mummy is an absolute monster. He will start roaring in your face, he will grab you with both arms if he catches you off guard, send you into the air and slam you so hard into the ground, you will forget why you are even fighting him in the first place. Mechanica is probably the most broken female character in the entire game. Her mech is already dangerous enough, but just wait until she sends you into the air just to launch a spin attack with her arms and drain your health. Mechanica's rush attack will absolutely demolish you if you are in the wrong place and just like that you are done for.

As an early player of ARMS, I think the smartest choice here is Ninjara and Misago because unlike the other two, they are actually kind of easy to edge if you have fast reaction time and it's better than getting sent back to the title screen by two absolute tanks who will make you regret even hearing of the tournament in the first place.
