Mechanica Scraps Her Way To Victory In The Latest ARMS Party Crash

Congrats, Mechanica. I went with Byte and Barq and apparently chose poorly.

But in all seriousness, what’s the benefit of being on the winning team in a Party Crash, besides bragging rights? Everyone gets the same reward. At least in Splatfests you get increased Sea Snails.

I didn’t get as much time as I’d like to play this weekend, so only got the first badge.

Yep went with Mechanica this time. I really wish there was a way to get the character badges from the other Party Crashes from characters that weren't used.
My Lab level has hit 175 so I'm enjoying them a lot. I wonder if this next Party Crash will be a three-way battle between Helix, Max Brass and Dr Coyle?

R.I.P. B&B. I didn't get to take part in this one (I would've repped my favorite Beach Patrol Boys), but oh well!

Good job, team Mechanica!

@thesilverbrick I'm pretty sure it's just bragging rights. It's just supposed to be a fun, community event.

And I'm pretty sure it's hinted at that it's an ARMS Labs experiment, likely to see which fighters are the most popular.

@Hikingguy Are you playing it with normal or motion controls? As much as I love this game I wouldn't enjoyed it as much using the motion controls. For me personally this game rocks with a Pro controller.

Ah, Bummer...
I used Byte & Barq on that Event.

@Nomad I've received a badge for Ribbon Girl by getting to lvl 30 in a party crash, and I never took part in the 1st crash between Springman and Ribbon Girl.

@Nomad You can get the badges for the other character. The way to get them is in Party Crash play past level 10 and up to level 30 then you will not only get the character badges for the people you played as, but also other people. I have all the characters besides Mechanica because I will need to wait until next Party Crash to get it. I have always played to level 30 in every Party Crash, so I don't know if you can get them if you didn't.

@Hikingguy I tried both. Pro controller helps but still couldn’t get in to it

@Hikingguy
Try to play ARMS with Joy Cons attached on Switch or Joy Cons Grip and try these Settings:
1. L / ZL = Left Punch
2. R / ZR = Right Punch
3. A = Dash
4. B = Jump
5. Y = Guard
6. X = Unleash Rush
7. Direction Pads = Change Target
8. Left Analog = Move

I guarantee you can move faster by pressing A button quickly to Dash and Avoid Attacks.

@1UP_MARIO
Try my Custom Configuration on above.

@Anti-Matter I tried the custom. I also think there are so many other great games on the switch and Splatoon 2 took me away from arms

@thesilverbrick this time around they seemed to have changed the score multipliers so that using the losing character got you x2 while the other was only x1.5. So actually you got the most benefit by being on the losing team.

Of course you don't actually pick a team like in Splatfests since you can use any character interchangeably through the Party Crash.

@AcridSkull @BezBot @dorkeybubblehead Yeah I've gotten to over level 30 in every Party Crash so far and I besides the two character badges automatically won for the winning character, most of the other badges for reaching levels 15, 20, 25 and 30 are just plain badges which say "congratulations on reaching level 25 in the 5th Party Crash" for example.
I have been given some of the other character badges from characters not used in the previous Party Crashes but not their shiny versions which you get at level 10.
For example, I payed to level 40 at this Party Crash, received the two badges for Mechanica, but only received one of Kid Cobra's badges (not the level 10 shiny one), from the previous Party Crash(I got both badges for Springtron).
Hope that makes sense.

Arms never really clicked for us but I do want to give it another try. Perhaps s I will rent it this weekend and see if it sticks this time

Played with Mechanica while trying to master the Pro controller. Was using motion controls up untill this point, and the button controls took some time to get used to.

@Nomad Really? I only got a couple of random ones. I have every normal character badge and shiny one, besides Mechanica as I said in my previous comment. I took a picture of the badges in the link below to show you.

@BezBot Cool! Yeah this is what I am talking about. Maybe badge allocation is random? Because I have all the character badges just not the level 10 ones for the characters I didn't use?

Congrats. If I was only better at using Mechanica abilities with motion controls, she would have been my go to for this event.

Thank you everyone who commented on the past Party Crash badges. Have the game since launch but this was the 1st event I got to play without life unexpected plans or flu recovery. I only shot for level 10, but now I'll aim higher to get what I missed.
