To me, it looks like he's just under an NDA and is trying to give the most non-committal answer possible. Or he's trying to throw us off the trail so the ARMS character announcement is still a "surprise".To me this sounds like he's saying "don't get your hopes up".
. However, he is more weapon-based.
Hm, that's interesting...
Oh, yeah! I know everyone is going to want different characters, and have their reasons why. I totally get that. I understand why people want them, but I just don't understand the hype of some characters. I feel like I'm phrasing this wrong.
I think the store is as excited for the game as we are.So I saw this on gamefaqs XD.
Someone's going to be fired for this.

I understand why people want King K. Rool. I personally would love King K. Rool.
I don't really understand it for Dark Pit and maybe Lucina to some extent. But I understand Dr. Mario and if they don't change up his moveset (and especially his final smash) I really don't think he shpuld be in.
I am assuming we are talking about Captain N here lol.
"Another thing I’d say is that Arms is so young — it’s only a year old — that maybe it’s too early to think about that."https://gonintendo.com/stories/3054...e-toughest-character-to-create-and-the-potent
Some thoughts from Kosuki Yabuki (producer of ARMS) on the potential for a character in Smash.
...Could be, could not be, basically.
Wish it were real tbh.So I saw this on gamefaqs XD.

Captain Toad King K. Rool Kamek Mipha Bandana Waddle Dee Peppy Hare Sylux Gen 8 Pokemon Pico Ninten Fire Emblem 16/Switch Character Hades Ashley Britanny Isabelle Doc Louis Rex & PyraI think the fact that he even bothers to point out that ARMS might be "too young" counters the fact that he "can't answer that".Such a breaking development!
In all seriousness, just the fact that he blatantly gives away that he is under NDA is reason enough for me to continue with the super obvious prediction that yes, Arms is coming to Smash.

I mean for example, do you think Tethu from Ever Oasis or a Codename Steam character has a shot when both of their games didn't make a good splash?
Bayonetta and pit fighting medusa. a la pit vs link smash 4 trailer. (Still want that anime)
Rip, more well made Nintendo games who fell into the endless pit of obscurity. Custom Robo and Golden Sun say "Welcome!"
Think you hit the nail on the head. It's a comment that could go either way which is great because they now idiots like us will try and read into it. I don't think anyone at Nintendo would say "Well, ARMS is a little too young." I think he's being non-commital without saying "no comment."https://gonintendo.com/stories/3054...e-toughest-character-to-create-and-the-potent

YES YES YES!
The never ending pit that also includes Sin & Punishment, Advance Wars, Elite Beat Agents, 1080 Snowboarding, Wave Race, and Glory of Heracles.
That would be awesome.
Rayman. I just find his design so ugly. To me he looks like the mascot of a chain of family restaurants or something.
Absolutely if sakurai thinks the character is interesting or could work. I've yet to see sakurai ever say "their game didn't sell, so they didn't get in", or " this game sold really well, so I added them to the roster"
It's less of sales and more the character's widespread popularity. More sales=more people who know about the character=more people who are happy the character is on the roster.
It's completely made up.
Popularity should not be the deciding factor when selecting characters.
To be fair, being super popular in Smash did nothing for poor Douglas.
Falcon sob!
For the neutral air, I'd say a downward diagonal punch.Well here is the Spring Man moveset. If anyone can give me an idea for nair I would appreciate it.
![]()
Playstyle: Physical Zoner that uses his long stretchy ARMS to keep his opponents out and poke from a safe distance. Properly spacing attacks is key, as certain long reaching attacks have large sourspots on his coily arms.
Passive Mechanic: ARM Charge/ComebackOne of the most important mechanics in ARMS carried over to Smash. It functions a little different but the idea is the same. Using his neutral special he can charge up his ARMS which powers up his attacks temporarily giving them more damage. In addition when Spring Man is above 100% his ARMS become perma charged.
Normals
Jab Combo- Does two short ranged punches followed up with a final mid ranged punch. Final jab has a sourspot on the coils.
Forward Tilt- Steps forward while doing a mid-ranged backhand. Comes out quickly to help elevate pressure. Sourspot on coils
Up Tilt- Swings his arm over his head in a similar vein Ike’s Up Smash with the Chakram ARM. Like Ftilt doesn’t have as much range but is a good quick anti air option. Sourspot on coils.
Down Tilt- Swings his arm against the ground, sweeping anyone off their feet. Short ranged but no sourspot.
Dash Attack: Rams forward with his shoulder. Is the only move in his kit that doesn’t use his long ARMS.
Grab- Spring Man on his own has the longest ranged grab in the game. To offset this, his grab also has the unique property of being able to be broken through by attacks that do more than 3%.
Forward Throw- A recreation of Misango’s throw, though sweeps them off the ground with his arm instead of a kick.
Back Throw- A recreation of Ribbon Girls throw.
Up Throw- A recreation of his very own throw from ARMS.
Down Throw- A recreation of Master Mummys throw.
Forward Smash- Reels back his arm and lunges forward with a powerful strike with the Megaton ARM. Bit Slow but has a lot of range and decent power. Sourspot on coils.
Up Smash- Does a powerful long ranged uppercut. Attack is most powerful at the apex of the uppercut and has a weaker hitbox at the beginning that can link into strong hitbox at low to mid percent. At higher percents it doesn’t link so you will need to space it properly to start killing.
Down Smash- Swings the Boomerang ARM around him in a circle. Doesn’t have long range like the other smashes but makes up for it by covering both sides.
Neutral Air- ???
Forward Air- Swings his arm in a horizontal arc in front of him. Sour spot on coils
Back Air- Winds up then throws a straight punch behind him. Would be the longest and strongest aerial in his kit. Sourspot on coils.
Up Air- Swings both of his arms in an arc upward into each other quickly (mimicking a fist bump).
Down Air- Winds up then springs both his arms downward to spike the opponent. Has a sourspot on coils that do not spike.
Specials
Neutral Special/ARM Charge- When the button is pressed, you are locked in place and cannot move until pressing the button again. During this time for every second you stand still your ARMS will remain charged for 2 seconds afterward; maxing out at 5 seconds which would give you 10 seconds of charge time maximum. Once Spring Man is in comeback mode this move does not serve an extra purpose.
Side Special/Spring Boost- Slams his fist into the ground launching him high into the air. Opponents caught by the ground slam will be popped up allowing you to follow up with an aerial. Aerial version of this move will halt his momentum and give him a weak spike hitbox instead; weaker in the air overall.
Up Special/Tether ARMS- Throws both his ARMS at a 40 degree angle, will automatically home into ledges to function as a tether recovery. If you hit an opponent with it you will be catapulted towards their current location and body slam them, albeit not a very strong body slam.
Down Special/Deflect Counter. Functions as a basic counter, will counter attack with a powerful slam into the ground in front of him, though it only gets the 2x damage bonus when his ARMS are charged. In addition this move also has the benefit of deflecting projectiles without having to go through the counter attack animation but will allow you to act out of it sooner.
Falcon's name in the F-Zero anime is Andy.To be fair, being super popular in Smash did nothing for poor Douglas.
It didn't really help anyone outside of Roy. Characters in Smash has their own popularity in and outside Smash. Falcon from Smash and Falcon for F-Zero may as well be different characters. Which makes me think, show Falcon get a moveset revamp?To be fair, being super popular in Smash did nothing for poor Douglas.
Roy was probably the character that got the most help out of Smash...
I dont know, but Ike was a pretty highly liked character even before Brawl. even in the FEHBallot, it was PoR Ike who won instead of RD Ike who got 5th, even though Smash 4 was out for a while by then. Roy is kinda just the only person people see getting the Smash popularity.
Well Sakurai did mention Duck Hunt's sales being a big contributor. Of course that was on top of having a unique concept for Duck Hunt, being the assistance from an unseen shooter.
