Congratulations, Min Min! ARMS character(s) for Smash discussion

[Deleted member]

Who's popular for crossover fighters?

So far I've seen

Monkey D. Luffy
Dhalsim
And
Lanky Kong.

Any others?

Ristar. :V

 

[Geno Boost]

I've also seen:
Or Geno, he also shot his fists off.

oh i have thought of Geno month ago and drew my idea so i wouldnt forget it

this would be sick but the chances looks extremely low to happen :/
But if we got Smithy this would be insane because you are not just going to pick hammer and hand gun and smelter for the arms but you are going to pick 5 different heads with different abilities

-teleroboxer characters would be nice just replace their arms with something that would extend
-joy mech fight characters you can replace anything with their hand
-springman from megaman would be fun to have i think people would love to see spring man vs springman

 

[8-peacock-8]

Little Mac is also up there. And people have been thinking of ways they could make Mac work in ARMS. (Robot arms or just keep him as is and force him to get in close)

Robot arms is dumb. He'd clearly have wireframe ones to resemble his arcade appearance.

 

[Staarih]

Yeah, I was thinking Joy Mecha Fight as well (Sukapon) with their floating arms, or Rayman to add to that, though I dunno if the springy/stretchy, attached arms are supposed to be the "thing" and defining trait of ARMS, instead of, well, floaty ones.

I really like that wireframe Mac idea, he would work really well.

And I'm still thinking a plant-based fighter with vines could also make a cool character.

 

[smashkirby]

I'll say it again, Bravoman.

Thank you. Thank you for this. Heck, Namco Bandai's reported to have helped out on ARMS' development, no less!

Also, for a REAL mind****, how these guys?:

Harry from Teleroboxer
Sukapon from Joy Mech Fight
A modified model of Ray from Custom Robo

I think those characters are a bit of a stretch

Did you just....

Nevermind, it's always expected of you.

Really? *sigh*....

Well, points for making the pun. I'll give you that one.

Hey, guys. If by some chance, Mechanica was added to Smash, do you think her gimmick would be a more prominent take on Bowesr Jr. and the Koopalings? The one where if you don't hit the driver, they take less damage. In her case, she wouldn't flinch at all, but striking her would cause her mech to spaz out of control or something.

I thought his joke had a great PUNch...line.

Really how to right hook ya. No reason to be left cross. I mean it was a direct pun, no jibber-JABber weirdness where he needs to capitalize some letters to make it work. The type of wordplay that puts a spring in your step.

I daresay, after seeing the previews for myself, ARMS is going to be the...well, you know. So I hope y'all made space for another supporter. Now, I'll make this short: I support Ribbon Girl for the theoretical Smash.

Have people failed to notice the particular wording of the poll's question, or is Spring Man really the most popular character on these boards?

I'm pretty sure Spring Man is a shoe-in for reasons we have discussed plenty of times, but the one I really want to see in Smash in my boy Helix.

I think people tend to go with what they think will make it, people like being right. From a small sample size of top 10s, Spring Man was not nearly the most popular.

 

[YeppersPeppers]

I both expect AND want Spring Man, so I'm in a pretty happy position right now. While I love a lot of Nintendo's characters, I haven't been this in love with a Nintendo character design since I played Smash 64 and discovered who Samus was. That's not to say that I wouldn't love to see other ARMS characters in Smash, as I love literally every character in the game, it's just that Spring Man ticks all the boxes for me on what I love in a character design.

 

[Kirbeh]

Little Mac with wireframe arms was suggested before and definitely seems like the way to go with him.

Cerebella from Skullgirls would also be a good fit, though perhaps a little too like Twintelle.

As much as I love SG, that's probably the biggest stretch for a guest character, not to mention, Vice Versa's arms wouldn't be able to stretch far enough to really work..Going along with the idea though, I think Peacock and Ms. Fortune with be much better fits.

Peacock already has long robot arms which could be reasonably extended while still fitting her design. And Ms. Fortune can extend her limbs using her blood and muscles. Well they work in concept at least, neither of them would ever get in for obvious reasons.

As for other possible guests there's:
-Spring Man (Mega Man)
-Clown Man (Mega Man)
-Anakaris (Darkstalkers)
-Hsien Ko (Darkstalkers)
-Amingo (Marvel vs Capcom 2)
-Dhalsim (Street Fighter)
-Necro (Street Fighter)
-Ristar <
-Chaos (Sonic the Hedgehog)

 

[_Sheik]

There is also another character from One Piece who is now nearly-as-iconic as Luffy (within the manga, at least) and who would fit just as well in the ARMS roster due to his ability to do this:

Spoiler

If Luffy miraculously gets in, I want Franky in too!

Amingo is a great choice.

 

[ryuu seika]

No idea who Amingo is but I'd be cool with Chaos for sure.

SG-wise, I'm pretty sure that Peacock has nothing of the sort in her base set or among her QCF moves but I'll trust that it exists somewhere in the vast array of ridiculous to execute nonsense that I can't access.
Ms Fortune simply seems too gory for a cartoon Nintendo fighter.

 

[Freduardo]

Inspector Gadget, yea or nay?

Hey guys, the VA list for ARMS has been released by Nintendo!

What about Helix, Bye and Barq?

I find it hilarious that Bomberman's R voice is the same as Spring Man.

But this is one diverse voice cast.

Nintendo temporarily used 3D models of characters such as Mario, Link and some others. But because their heights didn’t fit well with gameplay, they decided to use Wii Fit Trainer who is taller. She has well-trained muscles and it was easier to differentiate each part of her body. It was a good fit as your character or your opponent.

Spring Man/Ribbon Girl confirmed to be / semi-clone.

This impairs my desire to see Mario with a pair of chain chomps as a character.

If only someone from Mario was taller and could wield chain chomps.

Ask Peach if she has Bowser on speed dial.

 

[ryuu seika]

Luigi maybe?

 

[fogbadge]

Luigi maybe?

maybe mario and luigi stacked on top of each other

 

[Freduardo]

Luigi maybe?

Still shorter than Link.

You'd either need waluigi or Bowser.

WAARMS. You know you want it. :V

Inb4 Wii Fit Trainer confirmed to have waistband arms.

Anyways, got the game yesterday and it was quite fun. Made the right choice for picking Master Mummy and Spring Man as my mains.

You'd be right. Peacock has really long arms, but they don't extend quite far enough to work in ARMS as is. I just mentioned Peacock since I feel it's easier to take creative liberty with her given her robotic arms and cartoonish design. Regardless both Peacock and Fortune are definitely too gory. I just felt they made more sense design wise as opposed to Cerebella.

As for Amingo, he's a cactus from Marvel vs Capcom 2.

How about Nester with Ultra Hand arms as a fighter? bring back Nintendo Power plz

Aw yeah, I can't upvote this enough.

Plus he could have red virtual boy bowling ball fists as one of his weapons.

Also, the mask he would be wearing to keep his springy arms on (this is canon, btw) would the Virtual Boy its self! And a useable Power Glove arm, which curves farther the longer charged. I'm sure I could come up with more, but I'm lazy right now.

 

[Bowserlick]

IDEA: Spring Man gets three ARMs to choose from at the selection screen. One for his primary arm and another for his secondary. You can choose the same arm for each one. The arms have different elemental properties and have bonuses when charged.

There is an option to press "A" after many or all "A" attack to swing with the second ARM.

well they probably could do it considering all the other things they've got fighters doing now

 

[ryuu seika]

Well apparently Hedlok is the new perfect choice for final smash...

 

[splat]

This new Hedlok mode is super weird, Hedlok was first introduced as this mind-controlling evil mask thing and now we're fighting over who gets to wear it.

To think people were complaining about Mario go-karting with Bowser!

 

[fogbadge]

whelp today the comish becomes playable itll be interesting to give him a go

edit: never realized how small his head looks when he bulks up

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Well if you want an ARMS character in Smash regardless of movest accuracy...
