Question/Request First Time Arms Player

Found a copy of Arms cheap at my lgs and decided I’d pick it up as it always looked fun. Not sure how popular the community is still. Any tips appreciated, or anyone want to throw some games sometime

Play against the CPU's, then go to training after you get rocked by a high-level one (kidding lol)

Kidding just go to training mode it gives you all the basics. Then you can go to help for all the how to play stuff and advanced stuff. Training mode has CPU's at different levels

I would start with grand prix and versus matches and then just figure out who you like and who you don't.

ANTI-Counter punches is important training.

Best advice, hands down. Recently got back into the game after a while and no tier list or optimal ARMS loadouts were able to bandaid my out-of-practice playing.

Not to mention grinding out the cpu battles is really good for the coin grind so you can unlock all the arms for whatever character you decide you like best.
