It was an interesting week in ARMS, with Nintendo running the first 'Party Clash' event in the game. It was nicely implemented when it went live, transforming the 'Party Match' area and throwing some fun ideas into matches with quickfire specials and boosts.
In a Splatfest-style approach it also pitted two sides against each other, in this case Spring Man against Ribbon Girl; if you used either character you got extra points and contributed to the team's cause. The prizes of badges and money were decent incentives, and this writer had fun battling on behalf of the charismatic, stylish and fabulous Ribbon Girl.
The result was clearly a gross injustice, and we're calling shenanigans.
In any case it got us into playing ARMS again, which is the whole point of the event. Did any of you get involved in the Party Clash?

I'm loaded with coins from this! Off to spend it all on the ARMS Get thingy!
PS: I played for both sides up to level 10.
I played mostly as Ribbon Girl but Spring Man seemed much more popular and successful
Really had fun with this. I put ARMS down mainly since the currency was gained so slow. With the boosts and badges I easily tripled the total I had gotten in 20 hours of gameplay within 2 hours. Definitely a good sign.
I think if they had a more robust single player campaign as well as a couple more modes in the party mode would be just what the game needs, though I don't know if they'll hold that for a sequel and just keep adding fighters.
Ow, yeah.
Springman is my choice.
That handsome guy is more popular than Ribbon Girl right now.
Sure did. Hit level 30 and got all those exclusive party crash badges. Also, my general badge stash collection went up considerably! 😉👌
Whoops! I forgot about this, been to busy trying to get through the Metroid primes on my Wii U before 4. Not a fan of echoes.
I have now earned every single arm in the game (even plus ARMS) in this game thanks to this and badges
They really should have done this earlier. More people would probably still play this. Don't know why Nintendo got this right with Splatoon, but horribly wrong with ARMS.
Great start to things to come.
I had so much fun with this. I’m hoping they do more, especially because I got so many coins!
This was tight. Badges and events have really helped this game a lot. Badge stash sitting at a cool 118 after 80 hours and I'm craving more. Btw, Team Springman all the way, boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Never knew about this Too busy with Doom, Rocket League and Odyssey that I haven't even thought about anything else . if I'd known about this though I'd have been involved in this for sure.Hope I won't need to wait too long for the next one.
Party Clash? Are you pulling a Mega Man II (Game Boy) on us?
Also, yeah, Ribbon Girl should've won. I got up to level 38 using her, by the way. I demand a recount!
This event was so cool. Level 30 here, months without touching ARMS. I'm glad I can complete my ARMS collection, now.
Aaaggghhhhh!!! I totally forgot about this! I’ve been playing DOOM, Rocket League and Mario Odyssey so much. Not too mention I just picked up Sonic Forces and Gear Club. Dang! I was really an avid ARMS player at the beginning and I played a bit when the Misango update was released. Oh well... I may have missed the event, but I’m still game to play it again!
Played every minute I possibly could as Spring Man. Made it to level 99. That wasn't the limit. I'm thinking 100 must be the limit, otherwise there just isn't one
I was only able to play for a brief time yesterday, but it was fun and seemed very popular. I never waited more than a minute for a match. I hope they do more of these and bring ARMS back into the spotlight. It's just a great fighting game, definitely deserves more attention.
Loved this!
Wished it hasn't ended so quickly!
Why not go through the weekend?
With the latest fighter the game roster feels very complete, and so much fun!
This game has gotten so good since launch, I hope more people give it a try!
Party Clash was a blast. I've been wanting a Splatfest type event for ARMS since its release, but better late than never I suppose. I was totally addicted and any free time I had went to this, IMO it was much more fun than a Splatfest with its ever changing modes and special ARM bonuses. I got up to level 31 and received a butt load of cash for the ARMS getter so I was pretty stoked bout that. They need to hold a Party Clash once a month just like Splatfest, doing that I believe would really help keep this game fresh and appealing. I vote next party Clash should be Twintelle .vs. Min-Min I bet that would be a much closer battle than what we had. Keep up the Party Clashes!!!!!! Please don't make this a one and done event Nintendo support this great game.
Woot! Played as Spring man all the way to level 25... but was just getting tired of it all after a while. Only winning maybe 40 percent of the time after over 50 hours of total game time can be frustrating. Either I suck, or these people do nothing else then study this video game all day.
Skipped this, but would probably play the next if it was the newcomers (Lola vs. Misango) against each other.
Had a blast with this, RibbonGirl ftw, work got in the way of true mega session but enjoyd non the less. Roll on the next one!
also, will thet do an event for mk8?
I really enjoyed Party Crash and I hope they do another one soon. Arms is such a great fun game. If this game doesn't get a bunch of fighting game of the year awards, I think I'd be very disappointed with the videogame industry.
@Nomad @Nomad
Totally agree with you on that one. I can't think of a more fun and original fighting game to come out in a long time.
@cyrus_zuo Yeah. I think Arms might be the most underrated title of the year. The game is superbly designed.
Yes loved it. More please!
Had to change my style a lot because I don't fancy playing any of those characters but I had a lot of fun and the money earned was awesome (level 27). I finally have all arms maxed for Lola (hoping to get her in the next party)
I had a ton of fun with this over Thanksgiving break. I hadn't played ARMS in a long while before this, but this was loads of fun.
Reverse. I don't play Splatfest that much anymore. I got more hooked on ARMS and all the variety in matches and not just one like Splatfest. Splatfest is ok but ARMS is probably the next best thing after Splatoon now.
Is there an event schedule or do these events drop randomly?
I totally forgot about it...
