ARMS is probably my most anticipated Nintendo Switch title. Over the weekend there was a second ARMS tournament which showed off some new characters (MinMin and Helix) with each of the characters having palate multiple palate swaps so the game can be played with up to 4 of the same base character. In light of this i think it would be fun to start naming each palate swap as an individual character.

So far it appears that each character has 4 varients. So without further ado lets start naming them. (Currently on mobile so cant post pictures. Will copy them into the OP along with the names)

Spring Man
Blue - Clark Sprockent due to his superman like apperance
Pink - Archie Springmanning because he looks like Archie from the Archie comics
Green - TBD
Other - TBD

Ribbon Girl
Pink- Kara Sprockent
Blue-
Red-
Other-

Ninjara
Green- Leonardo
????? - Raphael
????? - Donatello
????? - Michaelangelo

Minmin
Green - MinMin
Red - TBD
????? - TBD
????? - TBD

Mechanica
Yellow - Mechanica
Brown - TBD
?????- TDB
????? - TBD

Master Mummy
Brown/Purple - TBD
White - TBD
????? - TBD
????? - TBD

Helix
Green - Flubbane: a portmanteau of Flubber and the Batman villan Bane
Pink - Foo: He's Sorry for Party Rocking

No.

 

[LambdaTeos]

I don't get it

 

[outunderthestars]

Not sure if I follow what you're asking us to do....

He just wanted to marry springman and ribbon girl?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

.....Kids.

Nintendo marketing seems to be working

 

[Crayon]

Just name the white Helix and we can save this thread.

 

[BackwardCap]

Why would anyone want to waste time doing this? I don't recall any other game where people went out of their way to give unique names to alternate colors that characters wear.

Why does everything need to be a meme, just use normal names.

Reminds me of speedrunners on twitch that have whacky names for bosses on their split list.

Real boss name: Samuel
Meme speedrunner boss name "THE REAL PANCAKE KILLA"

 

[massoluk]

Why would a ribbon of different color get called differently? She isn't pasta.

 

[Syf]

This is fantastic

 

[riskybusinesstomcruise]

So like....do Nintendo's job so they don't have to? Nah.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Anything gray is Snake

I know this thread is just for fun, but I can't help but feel sorry for you, OP!

 

[Speely]

Thirst post nails it.

I'm thirsty too, OP.

 

[Jennings]

I never acknowledged Green Mario's own name, and I won't do it here.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

The fuck?

How about we don't?

i feel bad for the op

 

[outunderthestars]

I wonder if the Miiverse is what used to spare us these kinds of threads...

I'm not sure why but this thread is making me laugh uncontrollably. What a great way to end an evening. Thanks, OP, thanks to all who have posted.

[jdstorm]

Well that escalated quickly...

Guess the jokes on me.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

no one does this for fighting games so why

 

[MetalliCabombination]

Really?
Please find something to play

 

[Leafhopper]

Well Breakers/Breakers Revenge has different names for P2 of characters but that's the only game I know of that does that.

 

[HabeeNo]

ARMS is developing quite the fanart already(?)

June 16 isn't too far away. Not a long time to wait for the official skin names.

I hope ARMS includes a Thread Man, because the color of this thread would be awful.

Seriously though he'd have spools of thread and yarn for arms.

Also seriously this thread is terrible.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Try not to take it personally op. Not really the audience for this kind of thing. Least you gave us a few laughs.

 

[panama chief]

Would've helped if you added pics OP....as it stands I don't know who looks like what so I can't get inventive.

 

[perfectchaos007]

This thread reminds me of an old IGN article from 2009 I think when the IGN team wrote this long winded and self aggrandized article about how they named the different colored toads in New Super Mario Bros.
