Well holy crap, I was wrong - this game has definitely got some competitive play!
The one person playing as Min-Min...dunno if it was any of you? But they played like 90 matches or so during the thing and were starting to get good with her. My best moment was at the end when I finally defeated her with Ribbon Girl, and even then it was a close match.
I got to try out everyone at least once. I was starting to get a little better with Spring Man, but I could see that some of the other people playing as him had gotten better at using him. I like DNA Man's shield, but his laser weapon missed sometimes, I think I needed more practice time to perfect my punch aims. I'm honestly not sure that I have any one favorite character, maybe just there are certain arms that I really like. The Boomerang, Tri-shot thing, Slapamander and the mech girl's main weapons were all useful, among others.
Hardest matches were the 3-player versus matches. It's so hard to focus on two opponents on opposite sides of you. You have to get good at dashing and moving in this game. Has something of a learning curve, which I think playing more matches and the actual game will help with.
I got to play volley ball at one point also, and that was kind of fun.
Hoping I'll be able to get in to play again tomorrow, since I'm off and there will be three separate play times.
EDIT:
Oh yeah, I wanted to mention... ARMS is not a game to play out in public, or in your car. You will not have the space, and it will be embarrassing. And people will be alerted to the fact that you own a $300 game system.
I went to a fast food place with the intention of playing inside there, and while I had the space, I couldn't find an opportune moment to play with customers coming and going. I then tried to play outside of another fast food place, and did, but was losing badly because I did not have the space in my vehicle. I managed to get home and get hooked up and played my best matches a few minutes ago. ARMS is most definitely a game to play in the comfort of your own house.
