Imagine all this hype builded up, and we just got Springman. And only Springman.

I mean, I guess it would mean Assists aren't out of the running, but jeez...

Imagine if it was Spring Man but in the end, he’d be the ONLY assist trophy upgraded. That’d be the biggest kick in the teeth.

That would actually hurt more. Like getting to the finish line but tripping at the end.

Reminder about Byleth and how Sakurai stated how not even Nintendo staff knew about him/her and being an secret.

Also the SNK speculation although it was going to be Terry from the start obviously.

I mean it would make sense kind of given he was considered for Base game and Season Pass 2 wasn't planned at that time. So I could see him being the only exceptional case which whether his assist being disabled when playing as him (Like how they do with Alucard, Knuckles and Moon on the Wii Fit stage, Green Hill Zone and Bay stage, Chrom appearing in Robin's Final Smash and victory animation and Mario in one of Piranha Plants victory animations) or Springtron taking his role as an assist trophy.

Here's my Redraw Game Box Art. I had to do the challenge with Tekken 3 cause it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Hope you guys like it, cause it is honestly my favorite drawing in like the past 2 months. Which is saying a lot cause I've been getting my groove back.

:O WOW! This looks AMAZING! :3 Congratulations on the piece! And from what I see, many others are just as astonished by it!

Yo friends!!! What happens when you take the DQ8 Hero, give him a Samus arm canon, Jet Jaguar's legs and a four on his shirt?

You get this cool fan art a Discord user known as Tipper made for me!!!

Thank you so much @Venus of the Desert Bloom !!!!!

:D Awesome drawing you got there, my friend.

Well, finally finished this character's design. His name is Cyril but I just call him "Ew furry man"

I wanted to try something I hadn't really done before, so I tried experimenting with a completely diffirent vibe for this lad. Mainly based his appearence off of the character designs in A Hat in Time's Nyakuza Metro DLC since I like those designs and I wanted to do somethin' like that. In turn it makes him look a lot more edgy than his personality is and his personality is just 60% Peter B. Parker but eh.

xD I like the color scheme. It really goes well with him. And the bat caught me off guard at first.

I'm about that Pompadour Gang. So no complaints here. Though IF we get multiple characters as a costume, I'd be pretty happy too.

Luckily he tries to use it as little as possible. He has it on him for self defense. Also, I’ll PM you his story and stuff later, but I’m going to be busy for a bit.

I still think Spring Man would be a boring choice. It’s gonna be Dr. Coyle. Mark my words.

I mean, a lot of people said Byleth and Terry would be boring choices and they still got in. There is a difference between "I'm not a fan of this character" and "therefore they won't be added".

Tbf, Springman is the most basic ARMS character, so it would be a bummer if it was him when there's a much of much more unique ARMS characters imo.

A fighter whose arms can exteeeend is still gonna be unique in the context of Smash regardless of whether or not it's "that toothpaste lameo who's already an assist trophy".

So I just found out about an book called Cryptozoologicon on speculative evolution if cryptids and mythical creatures were in fact real animals. Definitely adding to my Amazon wishlist!

It’s not just that I’m not a fan of him. I legitimately think Spring Man brings the least amount of interesting gameplay ideas to the table. Plus I really doubt there would be all this mystery if it was just Spring Man. Remember, SNK was leaked, not teased the way Arms was.

The reason I think it’s Dr. Coyle really is just that she my favorite (and I think she has the most interesting concepts in both quality and quantity). But it really could be anyone. I just think that Spring Man and Ribbon Girl are t gonna be it because they really don’t have anything other then the streatchy arms that every character has. As all of the gimmicks that make them unique in Arms come standard with every Smash character.

Depends on how they do the gimmick, because characters with bad frame data but long range has been done before with Byleth and Simon.

No doubts that they'll make the character different though.

You’re just setting yourself up for potential disappointment with a mindset like that honestly.

Yesterday I finally went out to visit some family friends after staying in doors for so long, and boy I had a good laugh.

My friend handed me his VR Headset, and I can safely say, I CANNOT last long using it without starting to feel freaking dizzy.

Then I watched him play Left 4 Dead, but I just let him know I am not really a fan of zombies, so then he added this mod to the game:

And it was WAY better, especially with the freaking WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP WOOP! all over the place! x'D

He also let me play Rainbow Six Siege, and I suck pretty badly, honestly, like with any FPS. There was this one guy I was recommended to use because of the ginormous shield he has and I just pressed the button that made him attack with it to break a wooden door it it looked like it had exploded. x'D My friend was like "WOW!" and I was just like "What did I do...?" then he explained me that at the same time I broke the door to pieces, I had killed a guy that was standing JUST behind it with the same hit! x'''D I had NO IDEA!

Then we were chatting and watching silly videos, and of course, laughing quite a lot. :> Awesome times, I must say. That had me absent most of the day without realizing.

I mean, a lot of people said Byleth and Terry would be boring choices and they still got in. There is a difference between "I'm not a fan of this character" and "therefore they won't be added".

I don't know; it seems different in this case because we were (intentionally) given a months-long guessing game, with every playable ARMS character (and technically Biff) as a potential candidate. (with Terry, Nintendo of Europe might have leaked that we'd be getting an SNK character, but it could have been a glitch and it definitely wasn't intentional) It seems weird to end it by revealing that, after all of this mystery, it's the ARMS character that everyone would have expected to begin with if we didn't have this guessing game.

I'm not familiar with ARMS, but by my understanding, the final set of the game's equivalent of Splatfests were set up as a tournament, with Min Min winning the whole thing. (I'm not certain if they were the final ones, but it looks like the only one that came after them was a repeat of the first one if that link is up-to-date)

I don't know if that means that Min Min is the most popular character, or the easiest to use, or if a bunch of beginning players picked her opponents which skewed the results in Min Min's favour (I think that's an issue with Splatoon's splatfests - from what I recall, the popular side rarely wins), but it seems to be a point in her favour.

I didn’t say it wouldn’t make sense, I’m just saying it would be disappointing as all hell if he gets picked and turns out to be the ONLY assist trophy upgraded.

 

[Z25]

That would still be pretty hype because it would also pretty much sh down the spirits can’t be characters rule. Which means it’s anyone’s game at that point.

Im still thinking we see a third party after just because we’ve been getting two reveals each E3 and both of them were likely ready trailer wise a few months in advance

Smash has frequently picked "boring" main characters or mascots over more interesting side characters time and time again, even if those side characters were playable.

Don't get your hopes too high for someone else. Not that I think Springman or Ribbon Girl would be boring in the context of Smash at all.

The whole guessing game thing still seems weird. There’s a number of factors to consider, I wouldn’t just write off any other options yet.

All of them except Charizard, Ivysaur and Squirtle that is.

My prediction for the ARMS rep is either Min Min due to popularity, or Spring Man with a Ribbon Girl alt due to mascot status.

I’m still betting on Dr. Coyle. Although I would really be fine with anyone.

Except Spring Man. As much as I want Isaac and Shovel Knight and Krystal..... I just don’t want that floodgate opened. Especially since there are so few spots left.

I never get this argument. It's not like a single reveal will affect the later ones when they're all set in stone.

If we get Spring Man, that doesn't mean we'll get any other "promotion" characters after that, just like how Banjo's reveal didn't magically turn Terry and Byleth into long-awaited fan favorites.

Eh, just want to point something out. The whole idea that the Party Crash is supposed to act as a popularity contest isn't actually true at all. It's a common misconception based on an elimination bracket with the Party Crash Bash with Min-Min becoming the last character standing at the end.

I know that (heck it’s my argument for including Goku). I just..... really don’t want Waluigi. That’s the floodgate I don’t want. Especially when there are only 6 spots left.
