But for real it's time for yet another speculation thread
>if it's Spring Man he has to explain why an AT was able to be promoted to playable within the same game, will probably say this is a special case scenario so don't expect any more in the future, wont stop rosterfags >if it's Ribbon Girl he has to explain the Mii Costume and Spirit >if it's Ninjara, Min Min, or Twintelle he has to explain the Spirits >if it's Max Brass, Helix, Dr. Coyle, or anyone not in the above he has to explain why he didn't pull any strings to go for the series MC ie: Spring Man (blather all you want about how costumes/spirits are fan rules, he quoted himself saying he goes for the protagonists before anyone else) >if it's ARMS 2 rep then we get ARMS 2 and at most he has to explain how far in advance he knew a sequel was being made and when he was told to start making a character
But if I could add something to the subject: they already knew they would be doing DLC when making the base game, but just the first pass. They didn't anticipate being greenlit for FP2. They made Spring Man an assist at the time because it was too late to implement him otherwise, and the designated "shill pick" in the first pass was being reserved for a character whose game at the time wasn't yet released. It was either that or nothing as far as they knew back then. Now that FP2 is happening, I don't doubt the possibility of them brushing some things aside and pulling strings to make shit happen that they couldn't before, even if it means transgressing some hurdles like "well this faggot cant be playable they already have a .png in the game". What do you think?
I feel like it'll be some new character that ties into an update for ARMS, not necessarily a sequel but enough of a boost that it ignites interest again
Nolan Rivera
It's Springman with at least 3 other characters as alts. And before anyone cries about development time, a Springman assist trophy already exists with assets, hitboxes, and features that interacts with other fighters. Half of the work is already done on him.
The way I see it, if it was just gonna be Springman than why do this whole "HURR DURR WHO IT GONNA BE?" same goes for , why hype it up if it isn't even a character we know?
You say this but every famitsu column is literally just that.
Nicholas Brooks
This. It's so obvious.
Nathaniel Ortiz
If they do make Springman playable, the only way I could see this happening without contriversy is if the Springman AT is replaced by Springtron.
Justin Williams
What is there to speculate about? Every one has already made up their own dumbass theories based on literally no proof and will stick to them like their lives depend on it until the inevitable reveal beats somebody the fuck out
Robert White
why you gotta break balls man
Jace Jones
Because its annoying that arms threads have been taken over by smashfags who don't even play either game. I guess it's better than the endless "dead game/flop" posting from before the reveal but it still sucks.
Ayden Hernandez
Fuck off. The only exposure ARMs was getting is clout riding teenagers on Twitter and Reddit posts trying to make epic memes on how the franchise is dead. At least NOW I can at least talk to ARMs fans that were in hiding over the lore, characters, and gameplay elements of the game rather than keeping that shit to myself.
We literally had those threads before. They were just full of doom posters. The same amount of lore conversation goes on now. Just replace the doomposters with smashfags
>if it's ARMS 2 rep then we get ARMS 2 and at most he has to explain how far in advance he knew a sequel was being made and when he was told to start making a character Sakurai had access to early builds of Three Houses
And even then how much more effort would it require to do an ARMS 2 character compared to an ARMS character. Sure each character's got their own unique ability but their main function is extendable arms.
Aiden Thompson
its gonna be one character but it's gonna beguys in skins >3 male Spring Man Ninjara Helix >3 Female Ribbon Girl Lola Pop Min Min
Jacob Phillips
>>if it's Max Brass, Helix, Dr. Coyle, or anyone not in the above he has to explain why he didn't pull any strings to go for the series MC Isn’t it obvious? Retard
Andrew Lewis
An Assist Trophy isn't even 1/10th of the work of a full fighter.
Julian Martin
If it's not Helix or Coyle, it's cringe.
Caleb Cook
I could definitely see it just being "ARMS Fighter" with the skins being different characters like Hero.
Michael Robinson
byte and barq don't believe me? check this 7
Elijah Diaz
Just hoping AS fags get BTFO once again Ashleyfags and shadowfags MUST stay in they’re cuck shelves
This shit is exactly why no character from Arms would disappoint me if they got in. >If we get Dr. Coyle, we get a cool villain with an invisibility mechanic >If we get Max Brass, we get a zoner heavy with temporary super armor on fucking every move >If we get Lola Pop, we get an incredible wave of inflation porn that I can jack off to for months to come
It would just be fucking dumb to have a main character as an AT while a side character is a fighter. It's like having Chun Li as a fighter with Ryu as an Assist trophy or Octolings playable while Inkling is an assist trophy.
Hunter Carter
Assistfags are raising their hope too much. If Springman is the one who gets in that doesn't mean other At are gonna get the same treatment. It'll probably be another exception like Chrom being a final smash and a fighter. This is coming from an Ashleyfag. I'm never asking for anything ever again.
Nicholas Reed
>If we get Lola Pop, we get an incredible wave of inflation porn that I can jack off to for months to come I can respect that. Not an inflationfag but fatfaggotry is in the same family of fetishes so I've gotta support ya.
>before anyone cries about development time No I'm crying because it's wasted on a shit character when better assist should have been playable instead.
Samuel Perez
Based. We autists must stick together.
Hudson Long
>It's Springman with at least 3 other characters as alts THAT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK YOU DUMB FUCKING JACKASS
Sort of agreed. I think they could fit Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Min Min, and Springtron together at the very least though. They're characters with similar builds, looks, and some of the unique abilities they have in Arms are already kind of...in Smash already anyways? Parrying, double jumping, meters...
Nathaniel Morris
Considering her cheeks also puff up a bit tells me its her body but idunno. Maybe it's caused by the same thing that made her arms into ARMS.
Min Min is never going to work as a fucking reskin. Her gimmick is being the single character in the game that uses her legs and she turns an arm into a dragon. Either you make Springman look retarded by giving him those gimmicks even though it makes absolutely zero sense or you make Min Min look retarded by being a shitty reskin with none of her traits.
Josiah Reyes
What's the point of thick thighs if they're not even gonna touch?
>Spring Man Reflects when dodging, comeback mechanic when at low health >Ribbon Girl Multiple mid-air jumps like Kirby >Min Min Kicks, ONE OF HER ARMS IS A FUCKING DRAGON
The only time characters mix and match like that is when it's thematically appropriate (ie the DQ Heroes are player stand-ins), it's justified by the mechanics (the Clown Car is the actual moveset) or Sakurai's terrified of being murdered for adding yet another anime swordsmen (so he gives Byleth non-sword moves). If a character can stand on their own they do and EVERY ARMS CHARACTER has enough to stand on their own.
This, but it'll be 7 alts like the Koopalings. There is no reason to keep which fighter it is a mystery unless they're planning to pull something like this.
Brayden Jenkins
Based fuck min min fags
Bentley Murphy
How does it not make any sense in context of Smash Bros? Characters in Smash have gotten moves from other characters in the past. Ness, Lucas, Simon/Richter, Hero, Donkey Kong, Olimar (he didn't have pink pikmin in his own games), and Pac-Man have moves ripped from other characters. The dragon arm isn't even exclusive to Min Min, it literally only gets girthier.
Jonathan Rivera
Shit list. I've ranked them in a completely objective way that makes my opinion correct compared to anyone else's.
>Multiple mid-air jumps like Kirby Literal mental gymnastics. She literally only has two jumps from the game she comes from, just like everyone in Smash Bros. Other characters who can double jump in their own games didn't magically get a shitload of them in Smash just because "muh extra jump"
It's most likely going to be a single character but you're delusional if you don't think they can make other fighters alts.
Sebastian Jenkins
Reminder that a “bowser jr situation” literally doesn’t fucking work because every character has different body types and they all have different boxing gloves
>tfw you realize the Arms rep would've been one of the fastest developed DLC characters if it wasn't due to le ebic Chinese bioweapon Think about it. They could've used Little Mac as a base and copy pasted animations and moves from the Spring Man assist trophy to speed things up at least a little bit. This whole situation sucks ass.
... you do know every character can use every glove in arms, right? Why do you people insist on talking about a game you haven't played? Like it just blows my mind
Luis Bennett
You could put everyone in mechanica's mech and every character can use every ARM but I really don't think they would do that.
Tyler Jenkins
Not completely accurate. Multiple characters have similar builds, and a lot of characters do share gloves with each other. Lola Pop isn't the only one with nunchucks, Min Min isn't the only one with the dragon hand, etc
Logan Allen
So does this mean that Rex is basically a shoe in for fighter pass 2
Elijah Stewart
you stupid nigger, nobody has to explain anything to you
Is there a reason Arms did so poorly? Aside from the one girl's ass, it seems like discussion died pretty quick.
Logan Lewis
It's going to be Spring man specifically because they can replace the Assist Trophy with Springtron whenever Springman is in the game. It's the same logic as Alucard never showing up in the Wii Fit stage, vampires don't have reflections.
Xavier Bennett
It didn't do poorly. It sold 2.1+ mil. Discussion died because it's a fighting game and people don't play fighting games anymore unless they have lengthy story campaigns
Noah Mitchell
>Poorly it was a new IP that sold 2 Million copies, it was a resounding success.
