I like Smash, but who the fuck cares about ARMS?

Fuck me Nintendo need to get over Smash. It’s all they ever fucking talk about.

 

[cireza]

35 minutes of presentation for a new character, why not a 1 week long livestream while we are at it ?

[Lrnex]

Yeah Arms doesn’t really do anything for me. I’m sure the character will be annoying to play against though! I’m imagining a fast and ranged smash attack with those springy arms

[Smiles and Cries]

I never purchased ARMS I felt it was just not my thing, I like the characters though. Hope they picked a cool rep.

[Ass of Can Whooping]

A dedicated 35 minute stream for a fucking arms character? Lmao seriously?

Are you new to Smash directs?

 

[Codes 208]

This is the first time they e even brought it up since the last big direct which was back in march.

plus its not like people arent excited to see new characters, the game has the second largest install base on the system behind mk8

 

[Tigerlord]

My guess, either Twintelle or Min-Min. Then you can't complain about minority representation, am I right?

I wanna go out on a limb and say it will be multiple characters tied into "alternate costumes" like Dragon Quest Hero

 

[ExpandKong]

I like Smash, but who the fuck cares about ARMS?

I like the character designs

 

[belteshazzar]

I'm assuming it gonna be kinda like Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings, you can selected from a bunch of different skins but the base character is essentially the same.

 

[MagnesG]

And we're all gonna watch it anyway.

This, I wouldn't be surprised if it was most of ARMS roster.

Considering the lack of female characters in the first pass it has to be one of the girls as the rep. Min-Min and Twintelle are just too popular to not pick one of them at this point.

 

[carlosrox]

Oh fuck yeah!

Love Smash, loved ARMS!

If this track doesn't make it in I'm gonna riot! Best track in the game.

I sure hope so! That would be great!

 

[MiguelItUp]

A new character is a new character, but I feel like the community would've wanted almost anyone else, lmao.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I want Twintelle too much so that is not happening

[Saruhashi]

And we're all gonna watch it anyway.

To be honest, I kind of enjoy seeing Sakurai break down the new characters.
I wish we could see a lot more of that from developers.

It gives a good insight into how they see gaming compared to how the audience might see it.

 

[Astral Dog]

Dissapointing. New games please its E3 season

 

[Starlight Lotice]

I just wish they added an associated Assist Trophy to each character (even if this game has one in the main game).

I am interested in the Stage and Music anyway.

 

[JCK75]

Do we need an event for a new fighter?

 

[MisterBrimstone]

New netcode to make online a thing? Nah, nobody wants that. Let's add SpringFuck or whatever the already forgotten character is!

 

[PhoenixTank]

I'd understand the salt in this thread if the ARMS character was the final DLC character.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I sure hope it isn't the most generic character in the cast...

 

[OutrageousFacts]

I sure hope it isn't the most generic character in the cast...

It'll cause outrage anyway:

- Springman/Ribbon Girl: BORING
- Twintella: Pandering to the Clique
- Minmin: Skin not black enough

Although personally any option is BORING, because ARMS is BORING. If I had to choose, Minmin would be my favorite, though. Although that Atztec guy looks cool, too.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

It is gonna be sprinman

 

[kunonabi]

I'd understand the salt in this thread if the ARMS character was the final DLC character.

It's still taking up a slot that could have gone to one of the remaining 3rd party characters that still need to make it in. I prefer an ARMs character to something of the usual fan requests but it still isnt super exciting.

 

[93xfan]

I like Smash, but who the fuck cares about ARMS?

100% agree. Such a shame we haven’t had a new character since November (more fire emblem characters don’t really count in my mind).

 

[Zannegan]

I guess if you're picking fighters based on character popularity and series representation. I'm excited about an ARMS fighter because (in a series packed with clones or and characters with shared moves) they'll play radically differently from any other fighter in the roster... at least I hope they will. Are there any extant fighters whose moves could be cobbled together an ARMS character?

I mean yes but can't have every character be Banjo-level, y'know? Nothing to stop them from extending with another pass after the next. That said I'll fucking riot if they give the ARMS character a sword ARM.

 

[Woopah]

Do we need an event for a new fighter?

Sakarai has does an event for almost all the DLC fighters so it makes sense for him to continue doing this.

 

[DonF]

Oki doki

 

[Shifty1897]

The only ARMs I'm interested in is Wild ARMs.

Yeah
Maybe a little teaser for the next?
(I just hope)

 

[Christian Eugenio]

I agree

 

[SantaC]

so not another Fire Emblem character? wow

 

[Woopah]

Yeah
Maybe a little teaser for the next?
(I just hope)

They've confirmed that they won't announce the next character in this presentation. I think they'll wait until the next Direct.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Yeah
Maybe a little teaser for the next?
(I just hope)

pls be Edelgard.
