Current Events > How the fuck can you play ARMs motion controls

(+) Yeah! (+)

I did it for an hour during the testpunch and hated it and went to controller. After a couple hours of doing controller exclusively in the full version I went for motion controls to give it another shot and I've rematched the same fucking spring man in Grand Prix like 10 time now because.motion controls are just that fucking stupid holy shit I want to love them they just piss me off so fucking holy shit

holy shit

Fuck me man it pisses me off so much especially because it's factually the superior control option and I want to love it because it's also almost cardio but like FUCK ME it is so goddamn frustrating it makes me more angry than fucking any video game ever has

Motion controls work better than the Pro Controller for me. Easier to curve punches.

That's why I'm trying to use them. It's factually superior for that, but in terms of movement it's straight up shit

Why can't I move with the control stick but keep like everything else the exact same

Why

Either 3 or 4. Can't remember tbh.

It's still ridiculous how much I am not in tune with the motion controls

Maybe choose a character that works better at a distance. Mechanica is good for this with her Homing Rockets. When you're far away from the CPU you can react to situations a bit easier which should allow you to adjust to the controls a bit better.

CPU 4 is pretty damn ruthless if you're not prepared.

It's fun but tbh I don't think it's worth 60 bucks. Maybe in the future once there are more characters and stuff. But since I got it for 48 bucks, it was chill.

Yeah. Biggest problem for me is I can't justify dropping $60 on it. I'll get it if I can get it on the cheap later.

Yeah I have the same issue. Love motion controls for punching, but hate hate HATE then for movement.

They could so easily allow you to use the joystick for movement, punch with motions, and keep X Y add jump and dodge.

I do really like the game but fuck, when will Nintendo learn that including options is a good thing?

I can beat most people on ranked with motion controls.

But I still would rather use button controls.

The problem with motion control is that to punch starting a direction and curve, you have to twist your wrist that direction, but to punch barely a little up, you gotta twist super awkwardly and punch super awkwardly.

They shouldn't have made vertical punch a pilot controls, rather use the analog
