I picked up Smash again after like two weeks of not playing it. I am so goddamn rusty right now, losing streak imminent.

LMAO with Sports getting that mad delay, NBA's Youtube channel really has players just scrapping in 2K.

You hate to see it.

Just a little over 2 months till out next character(s).


Still going all in on Spring Man with a Ribbon Girl echo, that'll be the 'big' surprise of "It's not just ONE character!"


And if I were a betting man, they'll update the Assist Trophy to Springtron.

It'd make more sense(and take less time)to disable the AT of Spring Man when he's in a match. But that's only if Spring-Man is chosen after all. Kind of like how Alucard won't work on some stages.

Of course, they could go through all the effort if they felt like it, it'd be neat.

I don't know if I would say that's a lot of effort, switch out a jpeg for the Spirit, change some text, and change some textures (possibly even import the textures directly from Arms).

In my imagination she moves to the US specifically to find Little Mac because she spent her childhood watching the world ridicule her father for being scrawny and weak and Mac, being the other underdog of the league, makes the perfect trainer in her eyes. So between moving to the US and finding Mac, she would have been working on learning the language, so she would still have a French accent and mannerisms, but she would have at least a moderate grasp on English.

Sorry, I totally just took your idea and made it something completely different haha
You make me want to play a game that doesn't exist.

I feel like they'd 'upgrade' him if he's in.

Sort of like how Dark Samus and Isabelle aren't both Fighters and Assists in this game, if it really is Spring Man, I 100% expect the Assist to be changed to his robot clone.

I can see that. Though I'm thinking it'll be like Chrom, where they just say "**** it, it's a Video Game."

But yeah.

The one thing I'm 100% going all in on and would be willing to put money down on(Not that I have any in the first place)


Is it's more than 1 character.


4 unused spots in World of Light, and the super secret aspect of this supposed character just screams "BONUS ECHO FIGHTER INCLUDED!"

I'd be pretty happy. I wanted both Spring-Man and Isaac. If I only get one, that's better than neither, y'know?

"There has been a lot of commotion on the internet about certain characters being relegated to assist trophies and not actually being playable in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.... That is why we've heard your request, and have upgraded the most popular character among these discussions..... Spring Man from the ARMS series will be joining the roster of playable fighters."

For real though, I desperately hope it isn't Springman though. He's the most boring character on the roster, he's basically just long arm Little Mac.

I'm not going to ***** amd whine if he does get in, but I'm just going to hope they choose someone better. At the end of the day, this isn't just about representing the game, this is about advertising Arms to people who haven't played it. People are going to be a lot less interested in generic fighter man than say a cute girl in a mech or ramen haired dragon warrior or a weird green blob or a candy clown girl.

I mean, I get where you're coming from, but Smash definitely has Main character bias.


It's the main reason that, among other things, I always thought the Katalina rumor from Hitagi back in the day was complete horse ****. It'd be like putting in Tingle before Link in Smash 64(Ignoring the fact Tingle didn't exist at the time, go along with my analogy here).

I like Gemini just fine I was just cutting down characters to make room for other Sega games like Persona 5 and Skies of Arcadia.

Also Bayonetta and Dante should have been a thing in this series.
Kamiya didn't want Bayo in the PXZ games since he wanted to be the one to handle Dante and Bayo crossing over in a game. Seeing as he created both of them. Though he regretted it a bit later from what I heard. Dunno how he'd feel about Dante being in Smash, or both in Sega vs Capcom, aside from some fans annoying the hell out of him.

That said, Kamiya's version of Dante is fairly different from Itsuno's more over the top version, so it's hard to say how different Dante would be in Kamiya's hands again. Like how Dante got ticked off in DMC1 when Mundas killed Griffon instead of letting him die with honor. A small character moment, but it gives you an idea of how Kamiya's Dante thinks I guess.

I like to think they're smart enough to use a Smash rep as a refresh on the Arms IP, go all in on the fan favourite character (Min-Min) and going forward shape the sequel (and further hopefully) around her. That way Arms 1 can be seen as a test run of the franchise and the "main character bias" can work in everyone's favour.

Isn't that mostly because the main character is the most popular one, and is usually the only choice of character you can play as?

Springman isn't either of them.

But he's also basically the game's mascot. He and Ribbon Girl are smack dab on the box.


I'd definitely prefer a different ARMs rep than either


But I'd also have preferred Claude or Eldegard over Byleth

Or literally any Punch Out character over Little Mac

Or a handful of Pokemon over the ones we have

Or....etc etc etc

I haven't played much ARMS aside from the trial, but I hope they add the Policeguy and his dog. But I know they won't do that because that would mean adding a character I like to Smash :upsidedown:

Anyone but Springman or Ribbon Girl please
Never liked Ribbon's design that much, but I really dig Spring-Man's. It's goofy in a good way. His hair is dope. In a sea of baldies, spiky haired dudes, girly girls and ponytails, we got someone else reppin the Pompadour.

Depends, Ryu's definitely one of the most popular Street Fighter characters, but I dunno if he's number one or not. Granted ARMS is nowhere near the level of Street Fighter. And I doubt Spring-O is the least popular character.

That said, Misango for Smash.

Cut Resonance of Fate, it's not like anyone cares about it anymore
I don't even know what that is so that's gone by default lol

The main character guy just looks like edgy Shulk.

So that would pretty much be a guaranteed spot if Monolith ever makes a new one basically.

Yeah but im hetalia (anime based on the countries of the world.France, US, China and Russia are on that wall) trash. I keep saying "Im done" but the damn characters keep pulling me back
I think I just had war flashbacks at the mention of Hetalia.

Tbh, I don't think box art and being a box mascot 100% trumps popularity. It does help though.

It took Charizard 3 games to be playable, and he's a HUGE mascot of Pokemon (being on the boxart of the best selling Pokemon games).

Picking Spring Man and/or Ribbon Girl compared to the rest of the ARMS cast would be the equivalent of having a whole bunch of weird and wacky ice cream flavors to choose from and just going for Vanilla or Chocolate

that being said I'd still be down with Spring Man at the end of the day. He's like... my 4th pick when it comes to potential ARMS candidates

Ryu is probably a special case either way; just like how Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man are the mascots for their respective companies, Ryu is the poster boy for Capcom USA.

But yeah

As much as I hate anything I start hearing "This video was sponsored by Rai---"



I gotta admit, I'd do the same damn thing. 3 thousand bucks would buy a lot of food.
