REALLY? Fucking ARMS? Has Nintendo completely forgotten how to hype people up? Why on earth would they LEAD the pass with this? What are they even thinking? A fighter from one of their Switch launch titles that didn't even do that well and everyone's already forgotten. What the fuck? The only possible interesting part is that they bafflingly didn't state who the fighter is even though the obvious answer would be Spring Man, which makes you wonder if they're planning to surprise people with a fighter that ISN'T a main character for once.

Did we really need another thread about this?

We didn't need another fighting game rep and we're getting one, so fuck you, you're getting a thread.

>everyone's already forgotten
well, thats the reason they are doing it.

arms sold over 2m copies

ENjoy the product placement nintenbitch lmoa

It's either spring man, ribbon girl, or all of them as costume like Bowser Jr and the koopa kids.

Why is Nintendo adding a Nintendo character to a Nintendo game?

Do they even fight that similarly?

Yes. They all just have one special ability between each other. That and weight. Most of the game is the gloves you put on.

Stop crying so much, there are already plenty of characters to play. You should be grateful you're even getting more

When I have to pay for them, I have the right to cry.

Your seething is entertaining, post more.

You don't HAVE to pay for anything.

Hm, interesting. Then it definitely seems like they would do something like that. Sakurai, at least these days, seems to prefer having as many "playable characters" in the game as possible, rather than unique movesets. The problem I see is there seems to be more than eight characters so I'm not sure they could fit all of them in as alts.

And the community was dead just 6 months after its release. You can bet less than 5% of the playerbase still remains, and they are all tryhard special snowflakes who wanna main this """""underrated gem""""" because they don't wanna be like the rest who play mainstream games like Smash and Splatoon 2. Meanwhile, Smash and Splatoon 2's playerbases are still going strong until today. It really shows that people bought ARMS just to occupy themselves with something before Smash and Splatoon 2's release.

i've literally never heard of this game before

Assist trophies deconfi- Oh shit.
Mii costumes deconfi- Oh shit.
Spirits deconfi- Oh shit.

The time has come for a Xenoblade X rep, a Xenoblade 2 rep, and Geno.

>Terry Bogard was the final third party fighter in Smash

Didn't see that one coming.

>be grateful for this product you're paying for
ARMS is based, but shut the fuck up. DLC isn't charity.

The point is: it's sold to you people with knowledge that you don't know what you're going to get and that you likely will get characters that you don't care for. Complaining that you got something you didn't ask for is dumb when what you asked for was never promised, dickhead.

Well if they want people to buy the DLC then maybe they shouldn't pick a stupid character that nobody is going to want to buy. It's like Nintendo is allergic to money.

>It's either spring man, ribbon girl, or all of them
Minmin is the one who won the party crashes and the final party crash.

it's almost like smash fucking blows and you'd have to be a sperg manchild to care about it. grow up.

>You shouldn't complain about a shit product because they didn't promise you a good one

nintendo knows you'll buy it anyway, because you will. you have no standards.

When has Smash ever added the most popular character instead of just picking the generic main character?

Nintendo knows nobody's going to buy this crap and that's why they're going to announce something actually good in June, to trick people into buying it.

It was a series of tournaments. The final Splatfest in Splatoon 1 directly affected the entire story of Splatoon 2.
Minmin is officially a champion of ARMS lore now. Her status is elevated.

Not saying it'll necessarily be her, but her chances are without a doubt boosted.

There are Arms fans out there, and plenty of threads here prove it, despite it being a bit of a simple game.

I think what's more important in the long run is: will the character be fun for you to use?
You already have the product, this is an addition to that. What defines the addition being shit isn't that you never wanted it. It would be shit if it was objectively bad.

Cloud was chosen over Lightning because of popularity iirc.

Honestly you sound like you don't like Smash Ultimate already if you're this upset over 1 DLC choice not being from your wish list. If you never liked the base game, then why even bother with DLC.

If we're getting fighters from old games nobody cares about then fuck it, put in Undodog from Mario Paint. Just fucking give up already. Do it.

>If we're getting fighters from old games nobody cares about
Isn't ARMS one of Nintendo's newest IPs though

Arms is a neat game with a great vibe
I'm glad Smash autism and the free trial revived its online for a week.

There's also never been a case where the mascot character was already in the game as an assist trophy and where they've teased the new character as "a character from x series."

ARMS being a fighting game lends itself to going with popularity/lore over purely the mascot. Especially when Spring Man is honestly an ineffective one, Ribbon Girl blows his popularity out of the water as his co-star.

They should have done it ages ago.

Ribbon Girl is the least memorable female in ARMS. Min Min, Lola and Twintelle are infinitely more popular.

You're not wrong but she's still way ahead of Spring Man who's like, bottom 2 in popularity.

What's with the random-ass Phantom Menace picture in the background?

These are all me, I can't believe I'm defending a game I don't even own on a console I don't own but some of you guys are acting like children

>bottom 2 in popularity
Not even close. Master Mummy, Misango and Byte & Bark are way less popular

>best new IP on nintendo switch
>nintendo's only other fighting game
>a breath of fresh air after last pack being nothing but 3rd party garbage some of which isn't even nintendo-related and never was
>moveset potential through the fucking roof

>you can bet-
shut the fuck up retard.

That was him talking about the recent Star Wars movie in response to people critiquing him during Smash Four's DLC.

And it's worthless when Sakurai's fine with critique.

You're literally dickriding a guy who knows what's what and encourages it.

Honestly even though I don't care about ARMS, if it finally breaks Sakurai's main character fetish, the addition is well worth it.

But think of all the unique moves in ARMS that a rep could have, like punch, or grab. They might even be able to walk and jump like in ARMS! Or block! There's literally 5 whole cool moves in the source material to work with!

It's not critique because this isn't what Sakurai is reading. It's simply complaining.
A critique isn't crying that one character isn't who you wanted. A valid critique would be "I don't think x is represented well in game" or "I think the gameplay could use some improvements such as..."

Sakurai doesn't pick the DLC characters anyways. Nintendo does, so you're barking up the wrong tree retard

You say this but Terry Bogard is Boring Punchy Man: The Character and yet he's the most interesting character in Smash.

The most popular pick right now has an arm that turns into a dragon and her default kit involves lasers.

Nintendo has learned one very valuable thing with their games, especially the Pokemon series. No matter what they do, you retards will ALWAYS give them more money. Even if they take away features and sell them to you later (lol pokemon). So why would they bother paying for 3rd party rights when they can use their own characters, save money AND take your money? You're gonna buy it anyways so why would they bother spending more than they have to?

It could be this wasn't the intended first of FP2.

Maybe corona had them swap some around so they didn't have to involve other companies right now.

No, he's bland shit too. We've been getting a lot of really uninspired characters after we got Hero.

1. Arms is cool
2. Least it's not another swordyboi
3. Director Man outright admitted during Byleth announcement that the picks are chosen by Nintendo and were made well in advance. Welcome to corporate synergy

rosterfags will not only seethe about literally anything, but they will constantly remind people how much they are seething until they are satisfied by the amount of attention they're getting.

They can come up with anything, really. Fire Emblem characters literally swing swords around in their games. Fox pilots a arwing. Captain Falcon races.
Terry has plenty to work with compared to a character from Arms since he's from s fighting game with tons of moves and mechanics

Based.

Min Min and Helix are more appealing to me than Joker so that's fine.

user ROB is a playable character and he was a plastic toy that barely even did what it was supposed to do.

>with tons of moves and mechanics
You mean like the many ARMS that the ARMS fighter would have?

Either way, people are free and especially allowed to criticize, his own words. Feels good to have free thought.
