Really exciting to know the Arms rep is gonna break a "rule"
If it's Springman, the assist trophy deconfirm is dead If it's Min Min or Ribbon Girl, the spirit deconfirm is dead If it's anyone else, the fact the character has to be the main character is dead
People say this after every character reveal, but it really does feel like every new fighter opens more doors
Maybe, but that has also never happened where they've used the character from the sequel instead of the character from the first game.

>spring man/minmin/whoever is a spirit gets in >rayman gets a chance, but insufferable shantards and shadowfags crawl back from the woodworks oh god, brass better do us all a favor
Ness is literally the exact same person as Ninten.
James Rivera
ness, joker, hero, cloud
Tyler Cooper
How about Cloud and Ness? I guess you could write off Cloud since the game classifies him as being from the Final Fantasy VII series, but Ness is from the second game in his series.
Jace Mitchell
>main character of a unique IP gets in >OMG GUYS LE WALUIGI AND ASHLEY AND GENO HAVE CHANCE NOW???
I hate rosterfags.
William Young
To be fair Waluigi does have a chance now, since he is the most highly demanded Nintendo character. And no, I will never die.
Chase Murphy
Too bad he’s not getting in because toothpaste man is not getting in
Can you even count Cloud? Yeah he's not the first one, but he's certainly the most popular. That's not even a fact up for debate. And given how every FF is it's own isolated story anyway, it's not like his specific universe has a "First" hero. It's just him.
John Barnes
Roy's game literally wasn't out yet and they dunked him into Melee
Hudson Lee
There are no rules, faggot. Now bring on the Brass.
Benjamin Carter
If it's springman, that pretty much throws out the "nO aSsIsT tRopHiEs AlLoWeD " rule. If so, then ha ha looks like us Krystalchads are back in the game and there's nothing you fucking humies and virgin scalies can do to stop us. But if it's literally anybody else, then uh, oh well we tried but we were really close this time.
Because he's the Commissioner of the ARMS league. He's the original final boss of the game and he's like a cross between All Might and Captain Falcon. No matter which character you play as, Brass will always appear in the story.
Isaac Robinson
He's the main figurehead of the entire setting and the final boss of the game. He's the Master Hand of ARMS
Angel Hall
If it's Spring Man, I'm sure he'll be the sole exception to the rule. As cool as it'd be to get Zero or Bomberman, I doubt we'll get them.
Carter Myers
You mean he was the final boss. Until the actual final boss was added.
I get that he's somewhat important, but that would be a first for Smash for the only rep from a game to be its final boss. And even then Dr. Coyle would make more sense. Going with Max Brass would be like having Bowser Jr. but not Bowser. So I have to suspect that there are some people who are getting behind him because he is the only viable pick that is not a waifu. (I am glad I am not the only one who thought he resembled All Might, though. So it does make sense that there are also people who genuinely like him.)
Grayson Taylor
Those sure are four JRPG's
Ian Wood
Not in my language.
Joseph Morales
Coyle and Brass are far more likely than Min Min is.
>If it's Min Min or Ribbon Girl, the spirit deconfirm is dead Shout-outs to Mewtwo and Lucas in Smash 4
>If it's anyone else, the fact the character has to be the main character is dead Shout-outs to Pikachu in 64 and Melee.
The only rule that has ever existed is that the character must have originally appeared in a video game, and even that one has its definition stretched by R.O.B.
Jacob Kelly
Dumbass. The main character rule has literally never been broken.
Jaxon Morales
Pokemon is a funny case because Pokemon Trainer as he is today more than likely wouldn't of been feasible on N64 hardware
Jordan Davis
RUUUUUUUURU
Zachary Hall
Just admit that you don't want Min Min because she's Chinese.
Cooper Martin
NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!
Christian Clark
>Shout-outs to Pikachu in 64 and Melee Pikachu was the main character of Pokemon Yellow, prove me wrong
Camden Robinson
They should have just had the Pokemon Trainer running around punching stuff like Captain Falcon.
Liam Jackson
Ninty is fucking genius not just saying who the character is. People are going to be debating this all the way until June.
Luis Smith
>The AT upgrade shitstorm might come back and garbage like Shadow and Krystal might have a chance to get in Please don't be Springman.
You also must hope it is not Ribbon Girl, Min Min, Twintelle, or Ninjara. Or else Shantae and Geno will have a chance. Frankly, though, if it's not Spring Man, I find it highly unlikely that it wouldn't be one of those four.
Jacob Gutierrez
>Dr. Coyle >Last character to be ever introduced in Arms >Extremely gimmicky and weird even in her own game
>all fighters pass characters >extremely gimmicky and weird
HMMMMMMM...
Jaxon Torres
It is a smart move. Gives ARMS a fuckload of publicity for free. It doesn't matter whatsoever who the actual character is. People think "not revealing who it is" means it's gonna be somewhat unexpected but I think that's wrong and the real reason is just to give exposure to the entire cast and get advertising for the franchise. That's why of all the characters I think it's gonna be something really straightforward like Spring Man with maybe Ribbon Girl as an alt.
Jose Diaz
There are no spirit picks as obnoxious as the ones I mentioned, so I'm fine with Min Min and the others.
Justin Myers
>it's not Spring Man >Sakurai says in the demo stream "normally we'd put in Spring Man since he's the main character but he's already an assist trophy so we couldn't" >ATfags commit sudoku en masse >the bodies of Waluigifags, Krystalfags, and Ashleyfags pile up in the streets
r >Can you even count Cloud? yeah he's still not the first one no matter how popular he is
Carson Russell
Well, Bowser Jr. comes with all of the Koopalings, and the Koopalings are the bosses in SMB3 with Bowser being the final boss. So both comparisons are apt.
Yeah, because just having stretchable arms as long as the fucking stage, a rush attack meter, chargable hands and a likely unique theter grab isn't enough of a gimmick in itself, you gotta add an invisibilty mechanic, floating, a temporary third arm that can appear on either shoulder and areal shielding.
Easton Walker
that's not eggman
Alexander Lee
It’s interesting to see what happens.
Joshua Baker
>it'll be Arms 2 MC! >it'll be Urshifu!
which is dumber/more obnoxious?
Jose Hill
He's the protagonist of the Final Fantasy VII series which is composed of Final Fantasy VII, Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Last Order: Final Fantasy VII, Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
If you look at how he's listed in game, it specifically says that Cloud represents the Final Fantasy VII series.
James Baker
Why would the ARMS fighter be Urshifu?
Ryder Bennett
I mean you have to admit that would make for one hell of a fighter in Smash.
He's basically Captain Falcon but cooler because he's the version of Captain Falcon people want but canon
Luis Ward
I just hate the entire concept of Urshifu with a passion. >Legendary Pokémon >Gets handed out by a random old man >Not even in a special location or anything, he just hands him out like a starter while everyone watches
Jonathan Wright
ARMS2fags for sure. Urshifu is rooted somewhat in reality, as that's exactly what sakurai would fucking do. An Arms 2 rep, on the otherhand, is totally NOT something they'd do. They'd never reveal a character that nobody has seen before. ARMS 2 would have had to have been revealed almost a year before the hypothetical sequel protag was revealed in smash.
Julian Ward
Unless the protagonist of the sequel is a character from the original ARMS.
Zachary Adams
The ARMS2fags are just people trying to find a away around having to use an assist trophy character, spirited characters or side characters/non-protagonists in general. All of which are "rules" that have yet to be broken.
James Flores
I'm thinking the ARMS rep is Glitch from Metal Arms: Glitch in the System.
It will be THE Max Brass, or they'll do a tournament in Arms within the next few weeks and the winner of that will be who they pick
Parker Carter
Is the expansion pass out already? I haven't been paying attention to Pokemon lately but I thought it wasn't coming till summer.
Jose Hill
>They'd never reveal a character that nobody has seen before. You mean Corrin?
Levi Thomas
>or they'll do a tournament in Arms within the next few weeks and the winner of that will be who they pick Oh yeah man they will totally just pound out an entire Smash character in three months, this is 100% plausible.
Robert Taylor
For me it's that it looks ugly as fuck and is almost completely redundant with Ryu and Ken already here.
