nah. i think he's pretty good looking as well.
So following the Direct, I was all about Byte & Barq. But then Min Min and Helix started catching my eye, so I was like, "I can main three characters!"
But then I started digging Twintelle, and Spring Man... and then I had renewed appreciation for Mechanica and Ribbon Girl... And now I'm watching the attract reel on the Testpunch, and taking a shining to Kid Cobra and Master Mummy... Tomorrow I'll probably be into Ninjara, lol.
Oh well. Guess I'll main everyone.

Twintelle's got dat recency bias, but she's so JoJo. It's great!

I think Twintelle is basically enjoying the new positivity buzz from the direct giving the game much more popular and that fact she genuinely seems to be a mre popular than minmin ws at her announcement, though minmin really start the ball running in terms of fanart etc.

I mean that's like replacing tracer with D.Va if the game is genuinely popular it won't have too much of a difference either way. If not then yeah it would though Nintendo probably wouldn't be happy with the sales.

Another vote for Twintelle here.
She fights with hair while she just strikes poses like a boss.

you can blame nintendo for that, i guess.
I like how Min Min is still the most popular of the ARMS characters revealed before the direct, if we go off of the YouTube views for the characters' respective trailers.
If she got revealed at the Direct, wonder how things would've​ went.
Those damn girl fetishists strike again!
You know what we need? Pie charts! I think enough voted now to get an good idea of how popular the characters are here.
Forgot to fix Helix's name (' -_-)
You're still junior status. Post some more!

Those two will probably end up being the squid sisters of this game. Which means Minmin will turn evil in ARMS 2:LEGS
Why'd she go evil

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
She's not pandering though, which is my point. She might be sexual, but her design has sense in the game.

She loses the Grand Prix and her Ramen Shop gets shut down. In jealously of Twintelles movie stardom she threatens to start the ARMageddon.
yeah you are right. i think i wrote that wrong, her design isn't the "issue"(as it were) but more her body proportions/ass that seem sexualized. i think it's why that part of her body gets far more attention from fans than any other aspect of her character.

She has sneaker heels. An important distinction.
I don't know, I like to think that her kid-like proportions will decrease her chances of being waifud. At least outside Japan.
Personally I think her suit looks too dopey. I like Tron Bonne's and Baby Head's much better.
Twintelle trailer has 10 times the views of the older character trailers, and 2-3 times the views for the new chars (Kid Cobra and Byte & Barq)
Kid Cobra is on the verge of being great but his design nags me on some level. Whatever hang up I have other people don't.
Complaining about one character having a big ass is like saying you don't like that one girl in class who has big breasts. Your issue shouldn't be with the character design/person's body but the fetishization of body parts by human beings. And that will never not change for obvious reasons.
This would be an issue if that was the case for every character but it clearly isn't - it's the opposite. You may as well say every single character in video games should have a small ass and small breasts just because.

It's not an issue with her I feel. Aside from being an older women she actually has a pretty strong build (not a stick figure) and her bust is no larger than any other female character in the game. She's one of those cases where it's OK to have character with an attractive build because she's the only one like that. It's not like SF V where almost all the female characters happen to be buxom fighters who chose to go out in scantily clad and/or in skin-tight outfits.

Snake boy and EXTRA THICC.
This game has all-around AMAZING designs, tho.

Damn.
I've said all this in another thread, but the thing is, plenty of women like this actually exist, big butts and all. Bonus points for her having actual muscle which is actually refreshing. (Feels like a trend is starting coming off of Urbosa lol) And if we take into account that she's a A-list movie star, then it makes even more sense. So whenever I see you complaining about her, it comes off as you acting like a girl should never have an ass of any kind in a game. When the reality of the situation is: The internet is doing its thing with Twintelle, and that is upsetting you.
Like, there really should be no issue with giving a girl an ass. Well, ideally there shouldn't be anyways, clearly. Even moreso when:
1. The rest of the cast differs from her. If Twintelle was their only female character, maybe you'd have a stronger point. Or if the rest of the female characters had similar "assets".
2. She's not scantily clad, has a boob window, or some other embarrassing aspect to her design where it'd be easy to say it's genuinely inappropriate.
I dunno, from my point of view, Twintelle is basically a good example of how to make a character that's clearly meant to be seen as attractive. It's like a cartoon version of Nadine or Chloe from Uncharted. Clearly appealing, but completely tasteful when all is said and done.
That being said, the Internet... is the Internet, so they are going to do their thing with a character like her.
It's the face for me. Like as soon as I see his face, I get annoyed.
i dont really thinks it's an issue either, it's just a bit tiring when that single aspect of her character becomes the dominant characteristic/identifier to fans. and i think nintendo egging on those traits isn't really helping much.
oh and the fact that it's bit cliched/tropy for female characters to have big butts.i don't think a big butt is really necessary in order to convey sexiness/atractiveness.

looks big to me. compare to ninjara
Should be comparing to Master Mummy
I'm not being serious here
How can you sincerely attempt to police ass sizes? The industry is still dominated by bust-first appeals to eroticism - this isn't anywhere near as overplayed as you're positioning it to be.
Especially since the design as a whole is attractive without being offputting (not that more overt cheesecake is inherently bad in any way, but it does run the risk of making a work more niche as it becomes more blatant), a standout example of something that can appeal to multiple markets.
It's bizarre that you're considering the idea that some people might find a design appealing to be a creative sin.

Nah, that ass is fat.

Okay, let's not lie now...

It's kind of a myth that Japan uniquely has a lolicon problem. Marie Rose is the most popular Dead or Alive character in all regions. Americans and Europeans love her just as much as Japan does.
