This is awesome and pure.
They could just not have the assist appear when Spring Man is on stage. Like how the Moon doesn't appear in Great Bay or Alucard in any stage with mirrors.
This is a very nice illustration and has the outlook we should have. I think this is good news for the other Assist trophies and spirits that fans have been wanting in and were let down with the release
I mean... they would still be taking Spring Man, a character who is currently an Assist Trophy, and making him playable despite that. Even if they have to change the Assist Trophy version of the character into a completely different character, it would still shatter the notion that Assist Trophy characters will be stuck in that role and aren't viable for promotion in the same game.
It absolutely would be broken because what's stopping Isaac's AT from being replaced with another GS character, Shovel Knight with Black Knight, and Waluigi with the lesser known Mario Bro, Sponge? (that last one's obviously a joke, but my point still stands)
Sorry, but with the DLC being revealed so close with Byleth (as in on par with Nintendo announcing that you can play Arms for free for a certain amount of time), I highly doubt that they were planning to show of Byleth in November. Especially since covid19 was not such a worldwide pandemic by then. It¨s, not a coincidence that Byleth of all character ended up as the last.
Sponge is the hero we deserve. He will take waluigi's place in purgatory.
I mean, what a better Mario Bro to be forever sad and stuck as an AT than Spondaj? Plus he'll soak up all the sadness on the battlefield with his mustache.
People are excited over a new character announcement. A lot of people are using this thread to talk about ARMS, even though we have several threads dedicated to the subject of an ARMS character in Smash:
That's not what I'm saying. We had a theory that 5 was in a presentable state in November but wasn't shown off for whatever reason. Two months later this was confirmed when we learned that Byleth's presentation was recorded in November. I'm arguing that this is potentially similar situation. 6 theoretically was complete enough to be shown off in January, backed up by two of my guys. My theory is that 6 may have been originally planned as an April release, potentially backed up by this and the upcoming rerelease of popular first party Amiibos in April.
I don't know much about ARMS, but aren't all of the popular characters already spirits, assist trophies, or Mii costumes? It seems weird for the development team to limit themselves to unpopular, unimportant, or unusual character choices because all of the popular ones have a single PNG file of them in the game.
It could, but I get the feeling it will be one of the characters already in as spirits or an assist. I don't think we have much to worry about in this regard.
The amount of logical pick dodging we would need to get there would be legendary. The five most liked arms characters, from what I see, are all spirits in the game. I really doubt it will be some new fighter from an "arms 2" either. Pokemon can do that because it's Pokemon. Arms is still a small, new growing IP. I don't think they'd get such luxury treatment.
I agree with you, but that's why I think it would be so disastrous to get someone like Max Brass. If the dev team went out of their way to bypass the most popular characters just to avoid double dipping spirits, AT's, etc., then it would actually PROVE that spirits deconfirm.
That's why I mentioned a Murphy's Law scenario yesterday. Half of the starting roster are spirits and all 5 regularly crush popularity contest. Two are also the leads and we're literally revealed at the same time. In order for a promotion not to happen, Nintendo would have to go against more than 20 years of precedent to swerve not only the title characters but the most popular to choose someone else. On top of this, the odds are incredibly high that it would be a starting roster character too, reducing it to 5 characters: Helix, Barq, Master Mummy, Kid Cobra, and Mechanica, that aren't as popular or noteworthy. Swerving Springman/Ribbongirl would be one thing because they're the title characters and would be like swerving Mario or Link, but swerving Min-Min or Ninjara would be like swerving Peach or Luigi too to designate the first Mario rep. Like I said, ARMS has a huge firewall in place to almost guarantee the rep will be, at the very least, a spirit promotion.
When you put it like that, if they go with anyone who isn't currently a spirit, the dream is dead, because it illustrates the kind of hoops they have to jump through to avoid using a character who is currently a spirit.
Us, Geno and Mini Mini upon hearing the announcement of her inclusion:
THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING. Basically, this next character will decide Geno's fate.
Heck they could pull off a Corrin 2.0 by Showing a new Arms game with new or upgraded characters and then promote those said characters as an playable character and entire spirit board.
You mean sort of like a, double reveal when Byleth, or them revealing Arms after the release of Cindering Shadows DLC?
It is hinted that the character is from the original roster due to how they teased it, so it wouldn't be a "new" character. A new design is more likely, but I kinda doubt it even with a hypothetical ARMS 2.
Like I have mentioned before. Those clips could (potentially) be placeholders until they want to reveal Arms 2
Icewolff92
if the character was from ARMS 2 they just wouldn't have given a list at all. No offense, but the placeholder thing is nonsense.
The Switch news feed specifically says the character is "from the ARMS game" so while it could be a redesigned ARMS character, it would be pretty blatantly lying if it's a completely new hypothetical ARMS 2 character.
