ARMS - Nintendo Direct 4.12.2017

[@Rubberman202]

Not going to lie, I'm disappointed that Biff doesn't sound like this in the actual game.

[@savagekid94]

also, to the people complaining about the lack of characters. splatoon 1 only had two barely custom characters excluding gear changes and recolors yet everyone loved that game the point of this game is to have characters each with their own special ability with customizable weapons to create a more personalized character. you dont need a massive +40 roster set for it to be a legit game. 8-10 characters is a sweet spot if done correctly.

[@sayr8843]

savagekid94 It's not the same.

[@shupasopni]

What are you even bringing that up for? Splatoon isn't a fighting game. That's a false equivalence. Fighting games get by by having rosters of different characters to chose from, which ties into the strategy. Even someone not familiar with the genre should know that much.

[@sayr8843]

Exactly! Shooters aren't about characters, they're about weapons, unless you're playing overwatch.

[@sayr8843]

Angel of Art​ Uh, there's only 6 confirmed characters. If you're saying there's an additional two that's hidden, then it's getting 8 characters, not 10.

[@savagekid94]

shupasopni Doesnt matter. lots of fighting games have done fine with few characters. the only thing that matters is how different people use and customize them. this is literally no different than what splatoon offered. whether it as fighting or shooting. The fact is, they're giving you interchangeable weapons there's no point in adding more characters if other characters can use another characters arms. the only thing that differentiates one character from another is their personal moves like the mummy's super armor and minmin's kicks, or springman's determination mode. 6-8 characters is enough special abilities to choose from for someone to main and utilize that character. I understand why everyone might be upset over this small roster but it has literally no effect on the game besides aesthetics. and Sayr This isnt about characters. its about the perfect arm customization to win. that's why is just called "Arms" that immediately changes when, like i said before, characters can use another characters weapons. just like splatoon. if you didnt wanna use a splat roller, you could use a sniper. What other fighting game allowed you to change a characters fighting style to a totally different characters? Dragon ball Z games dont do that, Mortal combat doesnt, street fighter doesnt, Naruto games dont, dead or alive you name it, if you know a game that did, i doubt they had many characters. for a deeper example, in a game like super smash brothers, you cant switch mario's attacks to use links master sword or kirbys copy ability. doing so would defeat the purpose of other characters and having a roster of over 50 characters would be wasted hard work. SSB and the other games aforementioned are games where the multitude of characters actually matter simply because their attacks and styles are specifically tailored to them. Not arms, If every character were stuck with the arms assigned to them THEN more characters would be required, but the number of Arms supplied throughout the game surpass the amount of characters and the fact that anyone can use them means that the combination possibilities are twice as much if not more. making it unnecessary to add anymore characters unless again, its purely for aesthetics.

[@Captinstark3999]

I can't believe this game could be even better then before

[@nfzeta128]

exactly. I think its gone even further than Splatoon in that aspect. Splatoon also got better as we saw more but this game's depth i think goes further.

[@user-bs9yz2vq7e]

Joseph Roman Sexton that's debatable if you watch pro splatoon players tactics and choices

[@nfzeta128]

isn't that fighting games in a nutshell, and this does have obstacles and such in certain stages.

[@theblueyoshi6394]

Halleloolahoop did you even watch the video? did you not see the 2 on 2 mode?

[@exynos7480]

Had a ton of potential. It was slept on like crazy. Sad it never took off

[@Ur2ez4me81]

Exynos It’s a very good game though not exactly sure why it didn’t go big

[@DrAnimePhD]

I think ARMS would’ve been better if Biff was actually voiced by this guy ingame instead of talking gibberish

[@neroctopusmess3198]

MANE MANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@juliap.6163]

Personnally I miss the Japanese announcer I can’t find him anywhere on KZbin ...

[@patiencejohnson915]

True

[@ShiftK]

PLEASE give them a back story! They look like very interesting characters, and their universe looks awesome!

[@seancollins8218]

ShiftKun I think on there's a little bio for the characters on the official website.

[@OYAHlGH]

Yo check the bottom of the video when they show off the "GET ARMS SERVICE", they show a sideways scroll of some characters and you can even see Minmin and a few other characters we haven't seen before like some yellow-blue robot and a tan-skinned Ribbon Girl lookalike.

[@Spittaz]

Mooro they look interesting

[@doubleasworkshop1692]

Mooro time stamp please

[@king_soundwave]

[@mdalsted]

Wait, is Min-Min actually speaking Chinese? Oh, holy crap, that's something I wish more games with an international cast would do! Punch-Out!! for the Wii did it, and it was awesome! And now ARMS is doing it? I so want this game now!

[@xli5508]

that's right. When introducing herself MinMin said something sounds like 'La Mian' (Ramen) in Chinese.

[@mitrimind1027]

It's actually Lo mein but whatever.

[@RandomUserX99]

she was speaking the name in mandarin.

[@MelodyMix]

Then one day, we will get the sequel: LEGS And maybe later we can get: HEADS Or maybe even: FEETS (yes with an S)

[@Andreas32300]

Head and Shoulders, maybe...

[@fuzziestofpondsgaming5278]

[@fuzziestofpondsgaming5278]

No one in the comments is mentioning this so I'll do it. Biff, the commentator's name comes from comic books. Whenever someone would swing and land a punch the comic would read "biff" This game is about punching. Just thought it was a Nintendo like thing.

[@deltahd6645]

No one mentioned it because everyone already knew it. I mean, the name wasn't *that* clever.

[@SquidJoe]

The more you know...

[@MrBreada]

DeltaHD - I didn't know, and I used to be a huge comic fan.

[@epochthekid]

DeltaHD Well it's news to me. I'm not exactly a comic geek.

[@Spyro_839]

FuzziestOfPonds Gaming I kinda had a feeling that was the case

[@cup177]

Did this dude just admit that his waifu is ribongirl ???

[@JDReC100]

HEHEHE this joke isn't funny yes

[@BEETLEGUTZZZ]

Biff's waifu is Ribbon Girl? I'm confused...

[@abandonedchannel2387]

Ocean Teensy he's a man of culture

[@MariKyuu]

Biff's the type of guy who mains Ribbon Girl Mii in Smash.

[@nathanp.barclay1518]

Yup

[@Play_Dreams]

This music is damn sweet!

[@regularrandomperson7108]

Joshua Hernandez I swear some of it is reminds of Ryo Nagamatsu.

[@JumpMan64.]

Joshua Hernandez Sound like Mario and Sonic dual football music

[@grazer-razor]

biff looks like he's from blues clues.

[@Thewolfguys.cartoons2000]

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING OF!!! LMFAO

[@CerobaTheBrokenMother]

What are you talking about?

[@pyropyropyro8549]

Just one question where do their real arms go when they get ARMS?

[@nesonacouch1946]

according to the first trailer, MAGIC!

[@JDReC100]

PyroPorygon well, there's some creepy looking lab with people floating in testtubes as one of the stages. maybe the answers you seek lie there.

[@jpbo98]

Fun fact, all characters have wierd spiral eyes except for Mechanica (the only one who uses a robot instead of having bizarre hands).

[@emilleanthonette]

PyroPorygon I think they're robots...

[@stuffbutreal]

find out next time on Dragon ball Z!

[@carolboldenstone-el2719]

Look at Biff's eyes at 1:54. Biff reveals his idol

[@oscaranibalhernandez8590]

I cant believe noboy talks about DOUBLE BATTLES Also we need amiibo ARMS.

[@lopezperezfernandojoaquin4234]

2:36 Yes Min Min For ARMS Now Is Joining For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate X ARMS DLC Challenger Pack 6

[@KilbyTheCoolest]

Nintendo needs to make story's about these fighters, like how Blizzard did with Overwatch.

[@sayr8843]

Kilby The Coolest Well first, they need to give them proper names....not "springman" and "ribbon girl"

[@milord8103]

Sayr Maybe those names are just alias

[@sayr8843]

Jesus Salvador Plus they aren't human. Nintendo aren't a company to put back story to their games. It's all about gameplay with them nowadays.

[@sayr8843]

***** Zelda BOTW story isn't even that good, and Pokemon isn't about story, really. It's got dialogue, but the context is minimal.

[@superfakerbros]

Sayr They've always been all about game play. That never changed

[@lewis9s]

Truly the game of all time. Definitely didn’t just fade into obscurity as one of Nintendo’s forgotten IPs.

[@moarika7378]

Min Min is best character hands down, you can't convince me otherwise, fight me

[@BeeLy1011]

Seems like Yabuki and Sakurai agreed

[@mas8705]

Kind of funny how some on Reddit was able to point out how there were four unknown fighters revealed in this trailer. Still, that does bring our roster count up to 10, which is pretty awesome to consider since that means we have a wide variety of fighters and ARMS options available for use. Hope this game does well. Would love to see if this can have a competitive scene like Smash, Splatoon, Pokemon and Pokken.

[@gmanpizza8181]

That would be soooo fun to see people duking it out at EVO with joycons...too bad if it does make it to EVO, there's a 99% chance they are using a controller instead.

[@BLUELINKBR]

It's amazing how Nintendo can pick such a simple concept and make it so complex and fun! That's what I love the most about this game!!

[@king_big_pp]

Her arms are NOODLES!? That's *exactly* the kind of goofy dumb hysterical ideas I wanted for new characters. Still holding out hope for a Tarzan with vine arms, or Zorro with whip arms.

[@GravityTheGhost]

Or a scientist with DNA arms :^)

This game is so hype. If it nails the mini-games and the network, it'll be a big hit.

For the sake of competitive play, I hope it won't take too long to unlock the other arms. That said, Min Min looks pretty cool.

Minmin's name is a pun--''Mian' means noodle in Chinese

[@nunoosorio3832]

enderBoy39 XD

[@donsancho6690]

Mandarin student here, that's not true. Noodles - 面条 - Miàntiáo. However Mian means flour, and noodles is, of course, flour-based, so you are also correct, in a way. Still not so close to "Min", let alone "Minmin".

[@enderboy3997]

Roses are red, that much is true. Violets are Miàn means flour? I've been learning Chinese my whole life, and I've always thought that it meant noodle. I think on its own it means noodle, but Miàn Fěn means flour. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@donsancho6690]

+enderBoy39 We discussed this a long time ago in my class - Mian is not stand-alone flour, but rather a subheading for flour foods. Mianbao (bread), Miantiao (noodles), etc. Mian never means noodle.
