Outside of a few obvious examples like Nowi and Tits McGee from Fates (honestly can't even remember her name atm), the designs in the newer games aren't that pandering. The bigger issue is that they replaced the excellent artist from Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn with a pretty generic artist for the 3DS games.
If they make that character a girl, they can even pander to the Katawa Shoujo waifu crowd!
Because Spring Man is not a "waifu," see all the people who say that he's boring and then say that Ribbon Girl is a good design lol.not sure what makes spring man's design "bad" while a character like minmin "genius" . the latter is really bland and seems very pandery. i don't get the love.
I've got some bad news for you.Because Spring Man is not a "waifu," see all the people who say that he's boring and then say that Ribbon Girl is a good design lol.
However I do think Minmin is a great design ignoring the fan reaction. She's as much of an archetype as Spring Man is, and her color scheme is pretty solid too. My only problem with her is that the Ramen theme wasn't enough, and they had to make her design asymmetrical. I think that's kinda stupid both mechanically (unbalance with different handedness) and visually (when not using dragon for left arm).
Camilla's character design / concept is actually pretty neat, oversexualization aside. She's certainly a more interesting character than the Hoshido counterpart, redhead peg knight.
Yknow, Twintelle has pretty buff shoulders and arms for someone who only uses them to sip tea.
What does this even mean
Does a cute animated girl automatically = waifu pandering?
no. it's just a vibe minmin and twintelle exude. ribbon girl, princess peach, toadette are cute animated girls that dont scream waifu.

Ribbon Girl doesn't scream waifu...but Min Min does?
You've officially lost me.
Here are the fighter icons! In order:
Twintelle - Ribbon Girl
Mechanica - Ninjara
Helix - Master Mummy
Byte & Barq - Min Min
Kid Cobra - Spring Man
Looks like they also each have their own ARMS-universe take on the copyright/restricted symbol??

Nintendo's artists are sooooooooo gooooooooood
That art of Mechanica just made her shoot way up in my book

First, concept art of Mechanica, climbing out of her homemade robo!
Oh my sweet summer child.
But yeah, not sure what you find more pandering about Min Min's design than Ribbon Girl's. I mean RG is literally an idol, by definition designed to appeal to a particular fan base. But I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Yep, voted for her as well.Mechanica is great
Do polls not show up on mobile?
