What they've shown of Arms is way more restrictive than Splatoon, we've only seen variations of 1v1 rings.

We only saw one mode when they unveiled Splatoon as well. The developers have already announced there will be more modes. It's not like Splatoon had many of them to begin with anyway. 

At least this game has split-screen multiplayer. :) And the attention to detail with regards to the characters is amazing, I wish Splatoon put that much care in their character models. 

Yeah, just one mode but the squid mechanic opened up a lot of potential.
You saw in the reveal trailer squid being used to climp up walls or for faster travel.

Isn't 1v1 what almost every fighter game is about? Street fighter, Tekken, Killer Instict, Sould Blade, Pokken...

I'm not the one saying Arms is similar to Splatoon or Overwatch, they could have similarities in style, but like you mention later they are different genres. I just think that Splatoon brought in a "fresh" idea with the squid mechanic, you can see that in the single player mode, plus the ground paint objective where everybody of all skill levels can contribute. I haven't seen that new game mechanic in Arms.

Arms is fighting game while Splatoon is 3rd person shooter game, probably will be more mods, but 1vs1 is main feature of fighting games. ARMS looks lotsa a fun, and whats more important is that game actually is very fun, every person who tried game said that.

Maybe it's just me, since I don't like fighting games that much, but you have to agree that Splatoon's genre is a tad more popular.

I'm postitively sure Mechanica is a new character, so the title isn't wrong.

But it is.

I was certain I didn't saw her before. I contributed to the OP's lie.

Looks like great fun but too shallow and simple to be a full price title.

So you already know how much content it has? Fascinating.

Maybe this game will go the Splatoon route; launch with 5 characters and add more content for free post-launch. That could be risky though, in light of Street Fighter 5.

I think what made it acceptable for Splatoon is it's fresh and new yet still amazing gameplay. I don't think Arms is in quite the same boat there.

Theyll launch with more characters. But even if it is a low count like lets say 8-10 characters (my money is on 12-15), the difference here compared to other fighters i notice (like pokken and its starting 14-16 characters) is the sole fact that its more than what it appears due to the arm selection (2 each) which in an ironic way makes characters feel as if they had just multiplied by a good amount.

 

If we botb play mummy master, it doesnt mean we are playing the same character as i can use 2 different arms vs yours for ex

Oh this is a great point, Arms has a level of customization not seen in other fighters. I kinda regret not going to the preview event as I really want to try this game out. Hopefully there'll be an eShop demo.
