My god, what a weird-ass character. I love him.
The music is so great.
This game is going to be something special.

He's weird as heck. This is a good sign. The game is starting to grow on me.

They couldn't give him clothes? I just want him to wear a headband and a basketball uniform.

Nintendo's animators showing their skills.
I wonder what the water element on his weapons does. Stuff like Fire, Lightning, and Ice do stuff in fights that are unique to them, so I'd assume Water would be the same.
Also, what's up with the Ice-type Dragons? They looked the same as the normal Dragon that was revealed with Minmin, but that one clearly didn't freeze people. Very weird. I wonder if he can alter the elemental properties of weapons to confuse people.

It's a Nintendo MP focused game, so I wouldn't expect much.
really happy to see nintendo churning out some original IPs. ARMs, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Splatoon are great.
Excited to see what more they have coming.

Master Mummy's head gets encased in water after getting hit in the trailer, so maybe it makes punches inaccurate for a few seconds.
Speaking of Master Mummy, it occured to me that since his profile mentions that he doesn't know where his family is his family is, one of his relatives could appear as a hidden/unlockable or DLC character.
I wouldn't say that. Splatoon had a fun 1 player story mode for example
For a character that already looks very hard to pin down like Helix, that sounds like Hell on Earth.

Yeah, it was in the Nintendo Direct, different elements for arms.
No this is different i think, it is the same type of arm but it shoots an ice beam instead of fire.

Or maybe it actually covers your screen like in Mario Kart.
I'm glad we don't have to wait for a Nintendo Direct to get news anymore. Hopefully stuff should come out a faster pace now.
Same deal. There's the toaster and sparky as different gloves but they're basically element swaps. Same deal here probably.

That makes sense and seems more fair than an auto-miss.
Edit: As for dragon, they'll probably explain next week on Twitter.

Y'know, I kinda wonder if those character thumbnails were left in on purpose to hype us up? Seems like a rather obvious oversight otherwise...
If that's the case, there may very well be more fighters than just the ones we've seen.

Lol I've been thinking voldo ever since that pic was discovered of his face at a weird angle.

I've seen this sentiment with so many Nintendo games over the last few years. They start with smaller reveals and just get better and better as we learn more!

I knew he reminded me immediately of someone...
This guy looks like a ton of fun.
Float like a Chromosome, Sting like Type-AB!
I like that every new character reveal now also comes with their own personal |OT|-level puns.
Called this guy as my possible main just based on the face snippet from the Direct "leak." Glad to see that faith vindicated, even if he's not quite how I imagined. This game's gonna be straight nuts and it's fun to see more people coming around to it.

The moveset shown in the video makes him look very versatile. But the character design is lacking. Makes it look like they ran out of ideas.

I keep watching this trailer. The music, the weird ass dance, its amazing. Nintendo keeps proving they have so much talent.

I don't like the colour of his ARMS, don't think they really fit the rest of his scheme. Hopefully he has a good alt. Outside of that golden.

Same here, you are not alone!
It's not like they're exclusive to him.
I actually like the color of the arms more.

Now that you say that it would be perfect. The color choices for his uniform and headband would have to be obnoxious and clash with the color of the gel.

Wait, so his name really is DNA Man. Did the info get datamined somewhere?

I meant his literal double helix arms.
