So my Fighter's pass ideal list but I'm only listing the likely stages for the character and it's a fill in the blank riddle too.

Not to sound rude, but you might want to add more letters to make it easier to guess. Or give us some hints or something.

 

[PeridotGX]

A stage game sounds fun, though. I'm gonna come up with codenames for stages, and you have to guess what stage it is and who it comes with. I'll also throw in a vague hint.

Stage 1: "unknown". It's the ARMS stage.
Stage 2: "friendship". It's a stage for a series that's been in Smash forever, but from their most recent game.
Stage 3: "seed". It's a stage for a series with no content in Smash, but their parent company is already in.
Stage 4: "time". This is another series that's been in smash forever, but from an unexplored facet.
Stage 5: "trial". This is a third party series that has content in Smash, but not a fighter.
Stage 6: "tower". This is a third party series not in Smash, but rumors have been swirling about it's potential inclusion for awhile.

 

[Hinata]

Stage 1: "unknown". It's the ARMS stage.

Stage 4 is a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon location?

I'll play this fill-in-the-blank game, only I'll use characters instead of stages to make it easier.

Not necessarily a prediction, but these are a few characters I'd like.

1. _ e _
2. M _ _ h a
3. _ t _ _ e
4. _ _ m _ _ _ n _ a
5. _ _ _ i _ _ M _ _
6. _ c _ o _ _ _ g

If you need some help, all of these characters have been in a Switch game, and five of them are first-party.

Hat Goomba was made for this, although if we've talking about characters already in Smash... I guess Hat Kirby would work?
Overall though, there really isn't anyone quite like Bandana Dee that's already in the roster...

[HansShotFirst20]

Tominokino comes first

>no Char Mobile Suits

 

[Iko MattOrr]

After some reasoning and research, I think I have an opinion on who is more likely as an ARMS rep.

I found 4 characters, who are (not in order) Max Brass, Mechanica, Dr Coyle and Misango.
I still don't consider characters who are spirits in the game as likely until the "rule" is officially deconfirmed.

-Max Brass seems to fit the champion/wrestler role similar to Incineroar, and he's designed around the theme of fighting (no ethnic or random secondary themes such as clown or police and stuff). So, he works well as "generic" fighter to introduce people to the franchise.
-Mechanica would be unlikely if not that there are some people who compare her to some Overwatch characters (mainly D.va, but she also wears glasses that resemble Tracer's). They may decide to play around that with implicit references to increase her popularity and create viral marketing, similar to how the new Doom game was unofficially promoted with Doom x Isabelle/Animal Crossing memes, even if the two games have nothing in common aside of the release date.
-Dr Coyle is apparently the villain of the game or something like that... being slighty more important in the story of the game, she may have a better chance than others... though it's also possible that she's the legendary spirit instead.
-Misango seems to have a spirit companion gimmick that, from what I've read (I didn't play the game) sounds kinda similar to Shulk's Monado arts. He's also pretty basic concept-wise, aside from the ethnic theme, he's just the regular human figher with regular stretching arms.

I'm still not sure who's more likely among those four, but I'm leaning more toward Misango... there are several reasons, one is that most of the DLC characters are usually gimmicky, and the spirit companion thing would fit that trend. Also, I was joking in my previous post, but not even that much; Sakurai is a Street Fighter fan, and long ago I did a post trying to predict what already represented franchise would get another character: I speculated that Street Fighter was one of the most likely. ARMS is not Street Fighter, but if I'm even just partially right about my prediction, the ARMS character may turn into having some moves inspired by Dhalsim like Incineroar takes some moves from Zangief. Both Misango and Dhalsim have an ethnical theme, even though they're based off different cultures... it would help to make the character feel similar, like Incineroar and Zangief are both themed around wrestling. Both characters have stretching arms as main gimmick.

There is a very small possibility that the character is Spring Man and the assist trophy gets replaced with Springtron who looks very similar/share the same body proportions. I think this is not happening, because some people will not buy the DLC and I don't see Nintendo removing the mascot of ARMS as assist trophy from their game only to replace him with a more obscure robot clone. If it was a free update for everyone maybe.

 

[Jerry98]

I mean it's good song and all, but if I had to choose between that and

,I'd choose Dialga 100 times. I'd pay the full character pack price for that song alone, and double that if remixed.

I'm pretty sure that if Sakurai played EoS he would add at least some Mystery Dungeon songs to Smash.
It's a shame the series does not have any representation...

[Ben Holt]

After replaying ARMS recently, I am HYPE for Spring Man. At minimum, they have 42 moves to choose from with the different ARMS.
He will almost certainly play like the Belmonts on steroids, which I can see pissing a lot of people off. Though I also see Spring Man potentially being the slowest character in the game. Both in movement and move lag. ARMS isn't exactly a fast paced game. It's mostly bait and punish. One aspect I would most like to see implemented is where each punch is independent of the other, where you can throw out one arm and have the other ready for a follow-up, but I have no idea how that would work in Smash. Sakurai has pulled off plenty of miracles before, though.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Crash Bandicoot - Stupid orange rodent

Now that's just hurtful.

He's a marsupial, not a rodent.

There is a very small possibility that the character is Spring Man and the assist trophy gets replaced with Springtron who looks very similar/share the same body proportions. I think this is not happening, because some people will not buy the DLC and I don't see Nintendo removing the mascot of ARMS as assist trophy from their game only to replace him with a more obscure robot clone. If it was a free update for everyone maybe.

WAAAH!!! Mama Mia! I-uh disagree wholefartedly!
The chance of it NOT being Spring Man is about 15% in my estimation. Call it a fan rule, but Smash has ALWAYS gone with protagonists and mascots first to represent their series. Spring Man is both. The ONLY reason I have any doubt whatsoever about Spring Man not getting in is the Assist Trophy dilemma. But even with that doubt in mind, what BETTER way to start off the new pass than to explicitly confirm that NOTHING deconfirms a character as DLC?
Though, to be clear, I think we're getting 4-in-1 with Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, and Min Min. Spring Man is just the default.

 

[Evil Trapezium]

Now that's just hurtful.

He's a marsupial, not a rodent.

I don't hate Crash Bandicoot and he's one of my most wanted but he did say this.

Just something some salty smash fans would say to make the character seem worse than the are.

So I fully expect someone who doesn't like Crash Bandicoot to say this.
