Lola Pop was winning by a landslide in every lobby I was in. I hadn't used her much before but she's really fun to play as. Misango doesn't seem all that popular, maybe because he's quite complex to use?
@Masurao I don't really notice more than usual in ranked, but Springtron does get picked a lot in Party mode to take advantage of his shockwave disabling arms not even aimed at him, allowing him to work an unusual support role in team modes (especially Vs. Hedlok). Abusing it too much will likely earn you the ire of the lobby quickly when fighting against you, though.
@Dogorilla I guess there's a nagging feeling in player's minds that his two main modes, armor red and speed blue, are technically inferior versions of existing fighters. Master Mummy has the same armor and heavy movement but even better grab damage and healing over Red Bull, and Ninjara has roughly the same speed as Blue Bird but with intangible air-dashes. His yellow state protecting him during a rush is truly unique to him and an extremely powerful tool at that (it's gotten me a number of clutch victories, particularly in ''rush standoffs''), but situational and hampered by his admittedly balanced slower gauge buildup (at least it feels that way). It's telling that yellow is disabled completely during So Much Rush, its too good to not go unchecked. Add in the annoyances of mostly uncontrolled colour shifting and needing considerable time that the opponent might not be willing to give to use them, and you have a character that along with Byte & Barq, seems not particularly worth it to learn.
But that doesn't stop me from co-maining him with Dr. Coyle, his traits also make him more difficult to predict and his mask's shield mode is a great answer to direct barrages.
Got this at launch. Played for about five hours then quit playing for months. I am not very good, but the game has grown on me. Would a been cool if there were a fee more mini games, characters and a story mode, but I like the game overall.
@Masurao Eh, fair-weather players spamming what they see is a low effort path to victory is a thing in every fighting game you can think of. Hadoken spam practically codified it. And it's easier still to seek opponents who will fall for those tricks than improving to beat the ones who don't.

I never understood the appeal of story mode in fighting games, I like a lore around things but an actual story mode feels tacked on.
"Everytime familiar, sudden update notice! How ... Tomorrow, Ver.5.1 is scheduled to be delivered! Listening to the rumor that there are something wonderful additional elements, I am under investigation into the ARMS association public relations office ... Oh, a meaningful badge has fallen in such a place! Selfishness"
Wow, Tournament Mode is a cool addition. If you can't be bothered reading the patch notes, it's activated by holding in the right stick and pressing L+R on the main menu, and apparently lets you play matches with all arms unlocked for everyone at the cost of not giving you currency, badges or records. It's smart to have something like this to ease the logistics of in-person tournaments, and always nice to see Nintendo show a little support for that kind of thing. Shame it came so late, though.

Hm, this Party Crash title would seem to make the relationship between Coyle and Max (at least from the former's perspective... Max seems like the kind of guy who takes a punch to the face as a friendly greeting) more complex than it first appears. Remember, Coyle organizes these in-universe.

@DABYX Yep, Grand Prix and Versus are offline. Party Crashes are monthly events where you choose one of two characters and battle against opponents to earn points which give you badges and coins, but there's also a normal online Party mode and Ranked mode available at any time.
