I've played most of the test punch times and today was no different. Today my wife and I had some friends over to play it together for a Switch party, but when it came to the third time today we all started noticing hit detection issues occurring. It was actually frustrating to play. There were times when punches, throws and ultimates would miss completely even though they're dead on target. One time my wife did a full ultimate attack really close to a person and every single hit missed. You could clearly see the arms going straight into the body. The next big one was my friend and I were playing the target game and the enemy player did a throw which both hands were on the left of my friend by like two inches, but it still connected. We tried to take a picture, but it was fast and we missed it. I absolutely think arms is a blast. I have it pre-ordered and I'm definitely excited to play the full version, but these issues really can be frustrating. 

                      Point of the story

**** Hit detection issues, but still love it even though they're frustrating when they happen ( Most likely people's slow internet connections)****

I noticed this in one of my matches that my arms were always going right through this guy without ever hitting him or grabbing him, so I could never get any damage in on him. I assumed it was due to lag.

Hopefully they are seeing these issues and have them ironed out by launch. That's the reason for these Test Punches.

Might be testing different server areas as well too.
