    *OOF* A Dark Horse graphic novel made by Ian Flynn?!? I may not be an Arms fan but I really, REALLY feel sorry for you man. (At least Ian Flynn will be making that Sonic Lore book that fixes up the weird plot holes).

    Kind of sad to see this get scrapped, the fact that we have manga of Zelda and Splatoon for example makes me wish more Nintendo properties were adapted in graphic novel form, especially the ones they have no intention of bringing back (a Kid Icarus manga adaptation would be amazing, and the art style of Captain Rainbow would really lend itself well!)

    I may give Arms a try. I kinda dismissed it as a random party game. I'm more into single player games, but I am a huge fan of Punch Out

    • @ATalkingSock

      It's very engaging. It's pretty different from Punch-Out, but I imagine it would bring a pretty unique challenge to Punch-Out fans in the sense that you need to not only time your punches appropriately, but also have movement options and have no reliance on pure memorization.

    I only recently realized Arms has a superheroy vibe to it (that may be mockable idk), and to hear the comic got scrapped is saddening, that would've been perfect. I hope this doesn't mark the end for the property. A sequel/spinoff has a very good chance at being made, right?? Even if only Mr. Sakurai has interest in bringing Arms back for future Smash games, I'd love to see these great characters continued to be given life.
    Also, didn't know that Twintelle lore there. Something about her's always rubbed me the wrong way. I thought it was just cuz she seemed shallow and self-centered and uh, *concerned with her physicality* to put it cleanly lol, but to hear she may be a shady character is actually pretty intriguing. Or maybe she can't quite control her hair arms and it's dangerous to handle for some reason.
    SEE NINTENDO, THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE MISSING OUT ON!!

    I love this IP. Honestly I'm kind of neutral on the gameplay itself (neutral leaning positive though), but as a property? The art style, the character designs, the color palette, the MUSIC. There's nothing else like ARMS out there and I love EVERY single character on the roster. I really hope it isn't dead. Glad we got Min Min in Smash at least.

  • @MagillanicaLouM
    @MagillanicaLouM 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Interesting, I didn't clock that file as painting Twintelle as... A bit Morally dubious but... Looking at it that way is very fun for sure. Though I wouldn't be surprised if there was a more comedic answer lol. But of course the ability manifesting through her hair is still one of the game's many big mysteries, lots of intrigue regardless.
    As for MinMin's smash trailer, I just chalked it up as a combo of creative liberty taken to add pizzazz to her big moment and other fans' interpretation of it kinda being a more symbolic abridged version of her awakening the ability. She's also one of the biggest mysteries in ARMS lore since she's the only character who's arm (or one in this case) can transform into something completely different being the dragon. The origin of that definitely is something I'd love to see tackled more. And in general I need more stuff of her in that waitress outfit lol

    Nice video! I’ve been getting into ARMS recently, and it’s a shame that the game doesn’t have many ways to showcase lore. But that then begs the question: how would Nintendo insert the lore into the game? Via a single player mode and DLC like Splatoon? What would that even look like? Do you have any ideas?

    The reason i would've loved to read the novel if it existed,was because of two characters
    Master Mummy
    Springtron
    1.The existance of a mummy in ARMS world is kinda a strange thing,since: Does that mean that it's possible to bring back the dead in ARMS world?...or is Master Mummy an exception?...we won't really get answers.
    2.As for Springtron,almost in every popular cartoony franchise main character has an evil doppelganger,and usually it's made in one of two ways:
    Robot,or evil twin, and every time they have some sort of purpose:
    Dark Link was supposed to be Links challenge to overcome his own power.
    Metal Sonic was supposed to match the speed and power of sonic.
    So....what's Springtrons purpose? Why is he based on springman?
    Thoose are also the questions wagely answered in game.
    Shame the novel got canceled.

    • @ATalkingSock
      @ATalkingSock  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The answer to both those questions btw; Dr Coyle.
      In her face-off with Master Mummy in the Grand Prix, she gloats about successfully bringing him back from the dead (but also his family are mummies and Biff mentions there being a mummy hospital in the area by the Mausoleum, so yeah. Still tons of unanswered questions there!
      As for Springtron, she built him to enter and win the Grand Prix, thus proving her brain and technological skill superior to Max Brass and his challengers.
      That doesn't answer why she chose to model him after Springman though (some speculate that since she and Max Brass used to be an item and Springman shares many of Brass's abilities; he might be their son :0) but that's just a theory...
      ...
      As you can probably tell, I REALLY like ARMS. Gosh I wish this novel wasn't canceled...

      Ok,now we need to understand more about Coyle
      Since all we know is....well, she's evil, she's a scientist.
      And i think almost every character in the game has more to them than it might seem.
      In game setting, it's hard to tell a big story of each and every one of them.
      But graphic novel could've solved that, answering all the questions about the world,setting,and also what the hell is goin' on with Twintelle?!

      Nintendo just cold-ass made a game about a paralympics tournament...
      And it has a subtext of having to wear "a mask" to fit in normal society, in some sense being not entirely for yourself and of yourself. I have to wonder if in some way Pegasus Dream Tour didn't see this as a crack in the gates, a bit of a go-ahead that made them think a game like that might be realistic in the gaming space.
      BUt I draw this solely from the one 15 sec trailer.
      That game however still seems to try to be "respectfully realistic" and that's fine if your point is really to make straight-laced SPORTS game, but what I would want for ARMS universe is to take the SSX style heightened realism and bring into a whole range of sports. And maybe have a better name than ARMS for the franchise.
      Also the living anime antagonist Yuzuru Hanyu is promoting PDT lol. That's just perfect.

      I thought Min Min was shallow until I learned you can simply push and hold her attack and special buttons to shoot out her respective arms and walk freely. Also to prioritize her nair instead of forward or back aerials, those only go straight out like Byleth or Sephiroth's forward airs

      @@ATalkingSock I dont want to sound annoying or anything, but your perception of whats worth 60$ is also very subjective. During the free trial nintendo held for the game after the tease for an Arms character in smash, I didnt feel the need to pick up the game after having played for several hours om end. I had seen everything the game had to offer in a few days of playtime basically, once you get a grasp of the controls and mechanics (which arent that deep tbh) all thats left are some mere collectibles. I played my fair share of online (barely anyone was playing) and I unlocked every arm for every character, yet still felt disatisfied. As im sure everyone can agree on this, the atmosphere of the game (characters, world building, music) is outstanding but unfortunately was watered down by gameplay that is overrepetitive and shallow (imo). I wish i wouldve gotten addicted like you and so many others did, but I fell off the game and skipped on it and im sure im not alone. Yet a game like splatoon 2 convinced me to make the purchase during its similar free trial last year.
