ARMS is Broken 

Lmao arms is broken sure but thats why I love it. Taking advantage of the broken shit is fun, tower helix is great 😈

I’m sorry to hear your arms are broken. Hope you feel better soon!

As someone who stopped playing ARMS years ago, hearing that Actress Aura is, in fact, just as broken as it felt when fighting it healed my soul a little bit.

Funny how coyle is so powerful that they barely had to change her to make a boss version

People who wanted Twintelle in Smash didn't play ARMS. They searched for ARMS art.

Part of what I love about ARMS is that boiling it down to, essentially, two normals, two EX normals, a super and a grab shifts a lot of focus away from micro-level execution and toward mixups. It's a very easy game to learn, with a truly incredible amount of depth in the one part of fightan I love the most: the mindgames.

You're Dr. Coyle section reminded me of how much I love how insane she is. The voice actor was clearly having the time of her life.

I love how max brass and Dr. Coyle have their OWN EXHIBIT. Its so busted 😂. I swear nintendo wanted the power levels to be canon in arms.

I don’t know why this game failed, it’s so fun

As someone who played tf out of ARMS a long time ago this was very nostalgic, excellent video really cool to see the game get content

Tbh its been so long since arms released that I forget that its from this console generation

I was recommended your channel due to my video where I ranked the ARMS Fighters. Good on you for keeping ARMS going even after all this time. This game definitely deserved better!

Seeing that gameplay at the end from Spring Mans PoV vs Coyle gave me some real bad flashbacks. 😭

triblast is so broken i love and hate it. I never thought that bubb and the other one would have fast retraction

Genuinely surprised that this game never got more love. Arms was an amazing title.

what i'm taking away from a lot of this video is that the devs really thought the electric element was too good on it's own and had to kneecap every arm with it

we really need a sequel with more content for the general audiences to care about this fun little game

seeing this randomly get recommended reminded me of how big of a shame i feel like it is that i (and seemingly a lot of other people out there) just never really vibed with the gameplay of arms ,,, i always absolutely loved the character designs and stuff enough that min min getting added to smash made me p excited, i just never liked actually *playing* the game all that much ,,, that aside, great video! i never thought much at all about what this game's competitive scene would be like since i stopped playing it so soon after it launched, so seeing a look at what playing this game seriously actually looks like was fun hopefully they'll give it a sequel someday

I never got to try ARMS but one thing i know for sure and it's that the OST slaps like very few games do for me

It's kinda funny, I played this game when it was free online for Smash's promotion (pretty good game!) and even in my limited experience I still remember how weird Dr. Coyle was to play against. It got to the point where when the Max Brass section started and he was specifically called "2nd best character in the game," I knew exactly who would be first lmao. Great video!

Thank you for starting the video with the games intro loading screen. Like i know its extremely embarrassing for me to be impressed by a loading screen, but the way it starts with the bongos and then smash cuts to the title as the rest of the drums kick in is SO hype.

I remember playing ARMS as an NSO demo and then forgetting about it as time passed. I'm very glad that there's still a scene for it, though, it's such a shame Nintendo abandoned it so quickly

Love this, based off of your channel profile, I'm guessing any other videos probably will also focus on ARMS, but you should consider doing this again for other less popular fighting games or just competitive games in general.

More people should make these types of videos for things that are niche, but they’re passionate about. This format of video is perfect for giving a baseline introduction into the competitive scene for any game

Very cool video, might give the game a play again! I find it very appropiate how the two most broken characters were not only a couple but also the Arcade Mode's final bosses, I love it when a character with a theme as menacing as Brass' or Coyle's is actually that strong.

I am looking at this game, now a wiser person about how fighting games work, and I feel like ARMS might just be end of the line for horribly built, underpatched, “just add what sounds cool” design in a fighting game, and I say that with admiration. The list of fighting games with two absurd top tiers with no real comparison to other cast mates, but also some nonsense going on in the mid tiers due to weird system mechanics, is now a list of two games; ARMS, and JoJo’s Heritage for the Future, a time gap best measured in decades. For a sense of how old, Heritage for the Future has the first puppet character in gaming. Godspeed. May your Ws be great and your ping low.

Never played arms, unironically this vid makes me want to play it

Looks like the algorithm has blessed this video. Good for you, dude! Seeing how dedicated you are to your craft I hope you see further success and, may we hope, for a better received and more balanced ARMS 2.

Man it brings a tear to my eye (a happy one for sure) seeing people still make ARMS content. Watching this video though, I think I had NO CHANCE in that tourney I partook in, so I'm partially glad I got taken out early- Coyle or Brass mains would have chewed me the hell up. Still though, I love ARMS! It's sad that not many people give it a chance, and neither does Nintendo either, even after the headcount each party crash brought out...

I was obsessed with this game for many years. I was and still am a massive fan of ARMS^^ I'm even glad to see that even after 7 years there are still people who support it^^

Twintelle's actress aura is basically Bayonetta's which time. Funnily enough both of them use their hair to fight 😮

That thumbnail gave me PTSD. I still remember the first time i went against a stun Brass. Such a beautiful cutscene

Thanks for taking the time to analyze all the competitive intricacies this game had that I'd never paid attention to as a kid. Hoping the new Nintendo console gets an Arms sequel that takes everything they learned from this game to make for an even greater experience for another generation!

Arms would have been such a cool shonen anime

Really wish this game had clicked for me. Music was great, character design was phenomenal, and I loved the silly world lore. But between needing to unlock *and* upgrade ARMS for every single fighter, having to put up with cpus in arcade mode that *definitely* read your inputs and reacted frame 1, and turtling being the online multiplayer playstyle that more often than not won interactions (I might have the wrong term here, but point is extremely defensive play seemed to be king early on)... I dropped it within a week. Really hope ARMS is given a second chance some time in the future. Some of this higher level stuff actually looks pretty fun, I'd be more than willing to try it again.

9:48 I mained Twintelle and that move is genuinely so free it’s insane. Literally smash 4 Bayonetta’s witch time

As much as I loved ARMS, my biggest gripe in the game is that we couldn't use the SR/SL buttons to switch between equipped ARMS midmatch when not throwing a punch, it would have added an extra sense of depth/strategy while also preventing rounds from feeling repetitive. Would it have been a nightmare to balance? Absolutely, but ARMS is less about being balanced and more about being a good time.

I should play this game again, i got back to it every couple of months, what a fun game

I'm glad i found this as i was recently getting back into playing this. Even years later i still learn something about what is easily one of my favorite nintendo game in recent years. I love ARMS (and especially Dr. Coyle)

This actually makes me want to play the game again, and I haven't played since 2018, good job

I haven't played ARMS in years. I do have the game card for it, but my card reader doesn't work anymore. Either I have to repair it or get a brand new Nintendo Switch entirely and sync the data from the old one to the new one. I did play some Party Crashes, but not all of them. I should have stayed longer to get all the Kid Cobra badges, especially the one where he looked beat up. I didn't know he had the biggest arms out of the roster. I wish Nintendo would give all the badges to us for free without having to play the Party Crash events. I remember beating Level 8 Hedlok.

Parabola has to be one of my best weapons. It surprised me, but it's done me so many favours. You do hit with it, and it serves as a surprisingly good anti-air. It is slow, however, it's easier to hit since it's automatic and it has a massive hitbox.

I find it funny that the grand champ is the second best character, while the one who absolutely decimated him is the best character

Even though I haven’t played this game in a long time, I still love it and it’s still one of my favorite switch games! It may not be insanely popular but at least we got people like Coney and Vikkikitty (i think) to represent it! Edit: Oh, and you of course! I didn’t realize you played it professionally till now cause I _just_ found your channel. My bad 😅

i cant believe a video would make me want to play arms again, a game i haven’t cared for in literal years

I remember a long, LONG time ago watching a video about competitive fighting games, seeing arms as one of those mentioned where the speed didn't excite commentators and spectators enough to keep the scene hyped liked Melee. What the fuck wad that dude on and why is the top level gameplay so fucking fast

I absolutely love that the two bosses are considered the best in this game. It really makes it feel like an anime XD

Loved how informative this video was, thanks for making it, I feel like I learned a lot I didn’t know about this game and it really got me in the mood to play arms again

8:45 nade, my beloved

Just wait until Legs.

I'm in love, more arms content would be great to see.

I do love how the 'final' boss character wins by outsmarting THE GAME. By far the best representation of a character's gimmick being that they cheat or use some illegal strategy.

I’ll be honest with you I had no idea Max Brass was so good back when I played arms, I just loved the beefed up dude screaming at the top of his lungs with his Haymaker grab xD

There are two characters with the alternate boss jingle for their arcade intro. Hedlok, a character engineered to be broken and only playable in a side mode where you fight over possession of him. And Dr. Coyle.

Really enjoyed the vid. Now thinking of buying ARMS since I got the switch a month ago, looks really fun!

"Gloves are hands down the strongest weapon class in the game" Let's go! I never got into the meta but I loved using both of the electric gloves. Glad to hear they're super good. "All except for Sparky, its far too weak compared to the other gloves" Oh... ok... 😭

Man it's been a while since I played ARMS. Honestly, I should go back! It was a fun exercise game.

10:34 "I can't believe people want this in Smash." Bayonetta: You are already dead. (Takes you to the damn sun) Slow down abilities in general need a nerf on how slow the opponent is. Like even a 15% movement nerf combined with already existing endlag is a lot, then these games give you 400% of it. 😵‍💫

I LOVED this game and it's OST, and I'm so glad this ended up in my recommended! Unfortunately, I'm not great at competitive play (more of a casual player myself) and ever since a lot of the playerbase filtered to primarily true fans, I stopped playing since I had no clue how to stand my ground, nor do anything but end up pummeled on the floor in online play, hahaha. I did come back for the party crashes though, those were a great time! Fun video!

My ARMS might be broken, but my heart is full. I love ARMS so much as a concept, and despite all of its bullshit, it had such incredible aesthetics and premise. I hope it lives on in the minds of others and that we get a second chance at returning to its world, characters, and mechanics. So glad to have watched this video!

i shall supply algorithm fuel. ARMS 2 NINTENDO WHERE IS IT

To be honest, I always wanted Dr Coyle as the Smash character. She wouldve easily been the most unique character in the game. Imagine she had Peach float but could shield during float? And if she shields she could turn invisible like the cloaking device item in previous Smash games? That wouldve been crazy. Make the third arm only come out if you successfuly dodge a move (roll, airdodge, etc). Reward defensive play. Would've been really unique for Ultimate since its much more aggressive.

This video was really interesting ngl I like looking at other games broken mechanic

Sorry to hear man. hope your LEGS are fine.

Great video, but in a lot of sections the text goes away way too fast to read and I have to go back and pause

Even if the heavyweights are slow, I always loved half-blorb for making really wide grabs and high damage rushes lol

Sucks that the heavy ARMS like the Megawatt are high risk, low reward because I always equip Min Min with the Megawatt alongside her Dragon and Ramram.

Got this recommended to me and it was a great watch!

That opening song is hard forgot🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️

I only remember this game just for the soundtrack.

holyy arms content?? wish yt recommended me this earlier

Arms content in 2023🔥🔥🔥

RU-vid recommending a 10 months old voiceless video of a game that despite me liking is no longer relevant? I have to make a wish

So, what is it that makes the sparkies worse than the other gloves? I found a couple tier lists a long time ago, saying they were the best in the game (and that twintelle and ribbon girl were the top 2 fighters)

honestly surprised misango platinum isn't talked about my personal favourite character

I've not seen this game in years. It was a really really fun party gane where we got together and played the game. (MinMin was my main, the dragon arm was super cool) Now I think it has a lot of potential that Nintendo kinda dropped the ball on. If they finetune this game around the same level as Splatoon 3 or Ultimate, then we would have an amazing game here.

Normal springtron doesn’t get much love but he’s a cool lil guy

Honestly the amount of times this game has been discounted could (probably) be counted on one hand I’d recommend it to more people if it was at max 40 bucks.

7:05 this is why kid cobra was so good lmao, I had no idea and I mained him 😅

finally someone made this

Video titel is what i say to doctor after i did not payed my depts to mafia.

I think after watching this video I have realized something: I have been too hard on this game. I thought it was a forgotten game that only got known because of Min Min in Smash Ultimate. This video has proven me wrong. The fact that it has an actual competitive scene and a much more complex understanding to fundamentals amazes me. I’m sorry Arms fans that I didn’t give your game enough love. It deserves it after this video!

We at least have to give arms credit for making the playable boss characters strong in the competitive scene. Unlike how other makes make them so much weaker for game balance.

Making everyone broken is a fun way to balance a game.

I used Glusher right hand on Helix because when you fire off a grab from tower mode. Glusher would bounce off the ground, creating an awkward diagonal grab tether. Idk if it still works nowadays but it was always a funny mix up. Also swatting air float spam Twintelle out of the air with the coolerangs was always a blast.

The badge thing upsets me, why??😢

"You WILL DECIMATE lifebars with comeback mode" Can't decimate lifebars if you still suck at the game like me, checkmate

I got aome crazy flashbacks with the Coyle and Max Brass. But glad to see that Kid Cobra is only broken with ARM Girth and that ARM loadout. There was alsl supposed to be an ARMS comic, wonder if that ever released

W video bro

Imagine if we got Dr. Coyle as a playable fighter in Smash

Knees weak, palms are heavy.

I’ve been wanting to get back into arms😂

"im gonna need more then just a hand"

15:33 it’s fun because of its shortcomings

I remember trying this game for free and it was fun! Wish I played it when it first came out

The game really is like 1-2 balance patches away from feeling damn near perfect tbh

Love seeing "blank is broken" videos. I don't like arms personally (feels very slow and too nintendo-jank-ish for me) but Respect to those who play it, and I get a good video out of those decicated to it.

Nintendo is honestly the worst at continuously supporting games they’ll do a big update and abandon it like animal crossing

Sure hope all these things get fixed in ARMS 2.

6:55 My fav kid cobra big arms how?
