And here's the official English translation of the quote, courtesy of the Nintendo Versus Twitter page.

Interested in a history lesson from your pal Biff? Believe it or not, these temple grounds have been the site of fighting matches since long before the #ARMS League even existed. What a serene location for non-stop action!

If someone can bring a proper English translation, I'll gladly add it to the OP. And in case you're curious, here are the datamined codenames (the bolded already have characters attached to them).
Belt (Max Brass)
Chain
Coil
DNA (Helix)
Hair (Twintelle)
Mee (Min Min)
Mummy (Mummy)
Ninja (Ninjara)
Plant
Police (Byte & Bark)
Ribbon (Ribbon Girl)
Robo
Scroll
Snake (Kid Cobra)
Spring (Spring Man)
Sumo
Surprise
Sweet (Lola Pop)
Twintale
Worker (Mechanica)

Assuming that this holds true, this possible new character could very well fill the "Plant" placeholder. I think "Robo" is Springtron, but I wasn't able to find any confirmation of this (if someone can chime in on that, it'd be greatly appreciated).

We've been waiting awhile for the plant one, so I'm definitely thinking they're up next now!

If they are going to reveal a new character. Then, they better not take too long to add the character after the reveal this time like Lola pop.

I swear I remember hearing before this game came out that there would be a flower themed Arms fighter is that who plant is on the leaked list? Also with barely any context to go off and a screenshot with a Bing translated tweet. I think this stage belongs to Scroll.

I hope they add a new mode with this update. We got Hedlock Scramble with the ver 2.0 so I thought they would always do that, but with ver 3.0+ all we got where the stats and pins.

In fairness, they did (more recently) add the Springtron fight into grand prix, so that can still be counted as an addition during the version 3 wave. If this is indeed a new stage and the character/ARMS to go with it, then it'll mean the coming of version 4.

Anyway, a while back there was already the twitter image of some eyes peering out of a tangle of vines (? Or a shrub or something else, from what I remember), so that with this ancient temple looking place definitely leads me to think that this is most likely "Plant" that we'd be getting. The only setting that might make more sense than an old overgrown temple might be a literal garden.

yay more Arms! Happy to see the new character doesn't seem to be the Springman guy from the last update.

I'll give it a shot.

"Today I'm bringing a historic report! Sure, during the summer break I might have have a glitch in my camera during my report from Via Dolce.... but this time I'm doing it right! Today, we've found a miracle sleeping deep within the forest...the ruins of a serene and divine arena where duels 'streeeeeeeeetched' far and wide; long before the ARMS Association was even founded!"

Thanks, Magnet_Man. You think it's a good enough translation for me to add it to the OP, or are you gonna work on it more?

Magnet_Man Nice work, thanks!
Nintendo really needs some help on their social media team.
Maybe they should hire the person running the Arby's social media.
Love Arms, can't wait!

Um... I guess I'll give it a shot.

"Japanese sightseeing report! The camera we were using for the summer holidays street cafe report broke, it's an unforgivable blunder... but we'll press on regardless. Anyway, deep in the forest lies these sleeping ruins... far from ARMS Federation HQ, stretch-fighting continues to be exhibited, making this place the holy ground of ARMS combat!"

i forget if there's an official term for taking up arms.

A Groot like character would be dope imo.
The stage looks similar to Ninjara's (which I like a lot) so I'm excited to see more of it soon.

Awesome. Finally got back to rank 17. Enjoying Arms in short bursts.

I bought Overwatch recently but it feels more like a slog to play even in quickplay versus Arms (12 players versus 2).

Better than my scrub-ass Rank 8. I've mostly been on either casual matches or fighting friends whenever I get on ARMS.

Sorry about the double-post, but we just got another teaser tweet.
