Smash Ultimate DLC character #6 is from ARMS and is coming in June
- Thread starter TheGamingNewsGuy
- Start date
But the character's already been determined, it's not like they couldn't have named the character with just a text-only screen.
I've seen "Dhalsim" come up a few times and can't figure out what it means. Can someone catch a noob like me up?
Edit: All I can gather is its a Street Fighter character. Are people talking about his play style?
The Assist Trophy aside, I don't think they'd purposely showcase the entire ARMS roster just to tease Spring Man -- methinks we'll get something along the lines of Ribbon Girl or Twintelle: a secondary promotional fighter or a fan-favorite breakout character. Alt costumes are also a possibility, although that'd be a stretch (:P) considering each fighter's innate abilities.
A surprise ARMS 2 character could also be in the cards, although I'd rather not place all my chips on that. (I mean, it's certainly something they'd do, but it's not even announced, so...)
Man, whatever happened with this?

It is apparently, still alive.
ARMS Graphic Novels Still Being Made, But With No Release Date Yet
No ARM in that

is there a strawpoll so we can pick who we want?
also i'm really happy it's a first party character. hopefully a xenoblade character is next (from 2 or x).

The Geno stans need to chill. Flops have made into Smash before (see Banjo), so Geno has a chance!
Couldn't be happier. Although I might have to pick up the second fighter pass now, which I wasn't planning on doing
As much as I love ARMS, a major reason why I'm excited by this news is that the lack of ARMS representation is a very big omission, like you said.
I would love if it's Twintelle for three reasons:
1. Representation with her being a female POC
2. Very popular character
3. It kills the "Characters who are already in the game as Sprits can't become fighters" rule, which opens the door for characters like Geno.

It has to be Min Min or I will riot!
OMG now I imagine an ARMS amiibo with real spring arms

I'd be fine with that. I'm super happy if it's her, Twintelle, and Min Min. Anyone else and I care just a little less. The predictable choice is Spring Man. I'd be somewhat okay with it since he seems to have been the face of the series but I'd argue he's not nor shouldn't be anymore and I hope it's one of the women.
Main complaint I heard about ARMS was lack of content, at least before the DLCs all came out. No real single player modes aside from the GP. The GP itself was frustrating. After having an excellent voice actor for BIFF in the direct segements, they made him completely mute aside from a grating scratchy voice. Huge missed opportunity. I hope a sequel adds more content and gives BIFF's VA a greater role because he is a perfect fit in the game.
It's already worth a lot less anyway since we already know it's an ARMS character.
I'm guessing the next reveal trailer will be a cop-out... lead in with an arms reference, pivot over to fighter #7 who is a fan favorite callback. Especially if it's at the "e3" digital event.
Really happy ARMS is getting representation. Let's hope it's Twintelle!!
Now, imagine if the fighter has multiple alts, each one being a character? That would be dope AF. Also, maybe we get an echo as a bonus.
Now that I think about it, if Spring Man is the character, the master rule of AT deconfirming is now broken!
And if it's Twintelle, the theory that Spirits deconfirm is gone for good too!(also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there Spirits of all the ARMS characters?)

I should probably give ARMS another chance... maybe they fixed the controls now.
Hopefully this means Wonder-Red has a chance too.

Assuming Arms 2 is in development and the Smash Rep will be Arms 2's protagonist... who of the first game's roster would make the most sense, story-wise? I remember reasing somewhere that Mechanica had some interesting background beats.
(BTW, someone went a bit ahead of themselves and added "She is soon to be a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" to Dr. Coyle's wiki page lol)

It's not that I think Arms isn't deserving. It's just that I would see it as more of a base roster pick than something to include in a DLC package alongside huge characters like Hero or Banjo. I would say though that there are a bunch of characters that are more popular from Nintendo that have yet to be included: Waluigi (meme I know), Isaac, Skull Kid. Arms sold well, yes, but it hasn't been talked about almost at all since the Switch's launch, and I'm not sure it has the excitement behind it that the other DLC characters did. Even Byleth was from a long running franchise with a large, vocal fanbase and Fire Emblem is a long part of Nintendo's history. In the end, it's not that I think Arms shouldn't be in Smash, it's just a strange pick for DLC and the way they announced this in the middle of a mini Direct with zero fanfare was even more bizzare.
