Arms: Advanced Fighting Tips From Nintendo

[@IGN]

Sorry about the loud background noise. We played Arms at a small venue in San Francisco. So what do you think of the combat in Arms? Let us know in the comments. -- Jose

[@christopherroth8679]

It's gonna be interesting what advanced strategies surface that the creators did not intend after it's been out for a while

[@flygonmaster7655]

IGN I thought their was only 10 characters why are their eleven character spots plus the 11th one is empty is their a secret character?

[@rexman1231]

I assume it's for Random

[@williamcampbell5869]

It is random

[@aidenquinn19975]

this game had way more content than I thought, they even are having free Splatoon style updates, never underestimate Nintendo I guess definitely a day one purchase, or at least I have to play the demo first before pre-ordering

[@CharlieWacholz]

this direct really changed my view of what ARMS will be like... IM REALLY HYPE

[@OmegaMetroid93]

I wasn't sure what to make of this game before, but after that Direct, I am sold. It was awesome, and Arms looks like it's gonna be awesome too. Can't wait for the demo!

[@Stonehengoo]

Cool Samus avatar ^__^

[@OmegaMetroid93]

Thank you. :D

[@Kahmie]

me too.

[@Play_Dreams]

This is Nintendo's Overwatch. The character designs are so damn clean.

[@TheMizzisfresh]

Joshua Hernandez No. Unlike over watch, Nintendo included single player on this game.

[@lI-tm2pn]

oh no!

[@mi2-c035]

It's even better than Overwatch.

[@CombatSportsNerd]

Gage BlackW23 lets not get crazy here

[@Play_Dreams]

Malcolm black lol, calm down dude.

[@illadelph42]

We need Arms at Evo.

[@MrMoose-mf1oy]

This game looks *a lot* better than I thought o.0

[@chrono7318]

Matty F *_thought_*

[@MrMoose-mf1oy]

didn't even notice that I'll change it now...

[@joyconnation8901]

Helix low key be dancing in the character select screen 😂

[@Draekeun]

Wait... I just got why Byte is bigger than Barq. 😲 It makes so much sense now!

[@Rickby]

"Twintelle can slow down time" who does that sound like?

[@ThKvhh]

Rigby Bayooooooooooo

[@Tom-vx7qh]

Rigby *T H I C C*

[@chunkalunkin2000]

This game needs some Luffy and Mitsuki DLC

[@MDksa123]

TWINTELLE THICC

[@g4p457]

Arti *HELIX THICC

[@littletrouble2kmolina339]

MIN MIN is more Thic

[@1110-q5f]

Arti Your all perverted

[@vDREEGONv]

This game will be competitive, it just has that potential ^_^

[@littenfire3563]

yes but will it get to ESPORTS level? that's the real question here. If it doesn't, people will brush it off as a casual party game with no depth, eventhough it does

[@draco4569]

Litten Fire I'm going to think that the fans don't have good judgement on what is eSports quality (or whoever decides that) if this game doesn't make it. I could practically guarantee that this game will make it to eSports. It's just that good!

[@cannibalgames8590]

The most fun I had in a game in years and that was only a demo! beautiful, rock solid performance, awesome (THICC) characters best motion controls I ever tried, eargasmic music, perfect lobby system, smooth online and above all creative and fun af. How a Direct and a demo completely reversed my judgement on this game! good job Nintendo, you bastards did it again and me a believer! Day f***ing 1

[@tolu619]

IGN got on this fast though. Two videos up immediately after the Direct.

[@Pharomid]

tolu619 they prob had em prerecorded and only had permission after the direct

[@PupusaBoy]

damn their so many arena's to fight in. I'm happy I pre-ordered this!

[@Pharomid]

Helix is my favorite because of his design and how he can change his hitbox size.

[@apollojustice5589]

Twintelle > all other arms waifus

[@pokemigas6049]

Apollo Justice But.... Min-Min....

[@apollojustice5589]

Pokemigas Twintelle > MinMin

[@gronkhfp]

Min Min >>>>> mechanica >>>> twintelle

[@apollojustice5589]

gronkhfp Did it hurt to type that?

[@zigzoinks5493]

Min-Min goes in the bin-bin.

[@travtucker1]

I am so freaking excited for the ARMS test punch

[@kuribo04]

Helix is a he He's called ADN-Man in Japan. But Treehouse had to change the name. It's what they do

[@artsyomni]

Helix is a better name. just sticking "man" at the end of a generic word is a pretty weak naming scheme. Works for Mega Man, but isn't something that you should aspire to imitate. =P

[@1dayago843]

Yatterman #2

[@kuribo04]

Artsy Omni I think that's the joke though Helix is generic and forgettsble

[@Neo_Way]

"We call Helix 'it'" Yeah... But the Japanese name is DNA Man, so... Not much room for error there.

[@erikasama]

Haha Jose got destroyed in that last match! Can't wait for this game to come out, combat looks amazing and fun!

[@kingmegart]

Twintelle

[@Polum824545201]

"Did you just misgender me?" -Helix

[@chriso3968]

Polum824545201 """""""G E N D E R A S S U M P T I O N""""""

[@duece08]

their pronouns are they/them

[@RespawningJesus]

Helix is technically a man, since his Japanese name is DNA Man.

[@jassielh3543]

RespawningJesus i was gonna make this comment. Im glad someone else picked it up 😂

[@Hsutherland123]

holy shit i need a switch now

[@unironicpanda]

Once I buy a Switch Arms and Splatoon 2 is definitely the first games I buy. Once they come out.

[@cobyhalverson6717]

google autofill twintelle though.. what comes up already As in I'm surprised it happened this fast

[@cobyhalverson6717]

What is shows for is 'different' to say the least...

[@djm7323]

Did they cut off their arms and replaced them with springs?

[@jackalopalen]

nah, some kinda genetic mutation

[@ahmadalhashmi8940]

Ahmed Nashif They kinda go into it during the beginning of the ARMS Direct. It's still a mystery though.

[@zigzoinks5493]

Ahmed Nashif According to the Nintendo Direct they all just woke up with freaky arms. Some of them like it, though.

[@zigzoinks5493]

Except Twintelle of course.

[@ahmadalhashmi8940]

Crax Marx Thanks, I knew that beforehand. However, it's still a mystery. Where did this mysterious genetic mutation originate from? While we know some things involving the arms, we don't know the details.

[@Awesomepandapig]

0:00 Lmaooo even Nintendo is part of the waifu wars.

[@eonstar]

Got an arms ad.... I ALREADY HAVE IT I DON'T NEED THAT ADD

[@MrLuigi1523]

The Bayonetta references for Twintelle

[@jh-ns3qn]

am I the only one here that thinks Rinnon Girl is best waifu?

[@tastethepainbow]

Rinnon Girl? Who's Rinnon Girl? There's a Ribbon Girl, but I don't see no Rinnon Girl. Autocorrect, I assume?

[@jh-ns3qn]

Clay Ayers original character pls don't steal no just kidding I meant ribbon girl xD

[@gamebros7521]

You and me mate

[@rabbidguy5]

She aint Legal tho

[@patricberard5308]

Twintelle vs MinMin in the beginning... are you loyal?

[@isaaclee3271]

technically helix is a he. when you look at everyone's names in the Japanese version helix is called DNA Man

[@1dayago843]

Yatterman #2

[@falafelbil455]

Sorry twintelle, minmin foot work is getting to me

[@sambowambo8673]

i dont even have a nintendo switch but i still love this game

[@sephil5712]

I'm just wondering why if NINTENDO showed us then why didn't they switch character colors?

[@madog7806]

Am I the only person who still don't understand why DNA man is called Helix in English version?

[@randomness051]

well dna is helix shaped so it makes sense. helix is just a cooler name

[@bobsmith8405]

Twintelle looks like black Yukako and she can slow down time?!

[@tutorial5914]

Barq will give people easy counters

[@thefroknight3149]

JC sounds like Yuri Lowenthal.

[@sirstupifie4958]

at first this game didn't really catch my interest, now I'm more hyped for this than splatoon 2

[@giogaul63]

MR.YABUKI WHERE U AT

[@Gtx-zh2wd]

Pro tip don't use motion controls

[@Kane917]

this video didn't tell shit. I'll wait for my FGC breakdown thank you very much

[@TemplarAnimated]

If you've played the game, these advanced tips are actually on point. After trying Global Testpunch this all makes sense.

[@Kane917]

Yeah but that's all common sense walking into it. Of course you're gonna want to study and find your set up.

[@Kane917]

Advanced tips is like, explaining the depth of offensive and defensive options and when and why you should be going in and when to zone and what are your wake up options

[@Aurkus23]

I'm mixed on this game. I like the idea, style and characters but, the gameplay looks so clunky(even with an expert playing).

[@lanadelrey3821]

Aurkus23 they are no expert.

[@Aurkus23]

The guy the IGN staffer is playing with is from Nintendo and is explaining everything thing as they play the game. In my opinion that would count as an expert.

[@lanadelrey3821]

Aurkus23 an expert means they are somewhat good at it clearly they are not. Wait until the game is actually out and watch REAL pro gamers play it.

[@retrohero2762]

Aurkus23 I think it's those type of games that's more fun to play than watch

[@JakeReicher]

Lol "expert". Not even close. I guarantee you that the community will out play every nintendo rep after a single day.

[@xenoblad]

The lips on Helix freak me out.

[@sh1nokarasu]

I've noticed a lot of people use min min lmao

[@morganviolethart4044]

Not that I mind ambiguous genders or genderless people at all (in fact, I love them), but Helix is definitely a He. They said so in the Nintendo Direct, even though it's a mystery what kind of creature he is.

[@PleasePleasePepper]

Morgan Violet Hart If I had to guess, it's probably just a thing the treehouse does

[@actuallyeayllon7501]

GotY

[@hm3051]

BYTE AND BARQ OP

[@erichouston14]

Waifu vs Waifu at the beginning oh god

[@kirbyc9042]

i wonder who chopped of their arms.

[@raidmarker2571]

One day, they woke up with extendable arms, they explained it in the direct, these are their natural ARMS.

[@MetronaJ]

Kirby C and as spring man said: "I was shocked at first but having arms like this is actually pretty rad" also yes they used "this" and not "these"

[@Excalibur5k]

i thought it would be dark like how splatoon is post apocalyptic

[@Tryhardblackguy]

Kirby C it's a mutation random people had

[@alexdarby2318]

It's french for two so its not dux it's duhh.

[@MrDannyloco]

The audio is TERRIBLE

[@exe_]

SJWs are gonna be like: helix is a "xe", always ask about their pronouns.

[@crazynorio3o576]

First

[@nirunkanjanavijit3561]

kp.d

[@ratbag3124]

4th

[@l6w9]

Ez

[@masqueradian2028]

first

[@alexcrasher5222]

This games looks stupid. Like Splatoon.

[@wenweru1]

Alex Crasher When your opinion is actually in the minority.

[@234xy]

he actually went on and commented the same thing on the beginner tips video. LOL. Anyway you are entitled to your opinion, but yes, know that you are a minority.

[@234xy]

Alex Crasher who said anything about ps4? next level logic right there i guess. have a good day

[@234xy]

Trivikram Lokesh i can see that yeah.

[@LegendGamingJp]

Trivikram Lokesh lol are you higher then a kite to think horizon sold better then breath of the wild
