By the way, is your username cuate as in the spanish word? It reminds me of Chabelo.
sale cuate!
All you've done in every ARMS topic is post hottakes and insult anyone who disagrees with your simple opinions.
On the subject of opinions:
Master Mummy. I like my bruisers and I like his design. Mechanical is probably #2, though I have no interest in playing her.
no. i only have insulted people who were being snarky or condescending toward me."simple opinions" ha, what a pretentious asshat.

I can't believe everyone is over Ribbon Girl already. Perverts and degenerates, cuate is right. Ribbon Girl is "thicc" where it counts most: her morals.
Wow.
Wow.

Bruh, people been "over" Ribbon Girl since Min Min showed up. Hell, I don't even ever really recall people caring about her to that extent to begin with.
So it is x), gotta love Chabelo.
Anyway, sexualization is about context and you have to take into account why Twintelle has this body type in ARMS, and not why most female characters have a sexy body in videogames and media.
Twintelle is a movie star, with a body clearly inspired with a movie star body. And movie stars usually have hot bodies. It goes both ways, too, with men too, otherwise why would Chris Pratt would bother doing this:
The conversation has merit, sure, but again, Twintelle is a bad example of sexualization in video games.
The fact that you would compare her butt to two of the biggest, comically proportioned, surgically enhanced, diaper shaped butts in the entertainment industry proves my point about the overreactions. Twintelle looks like a well proportioned woman who does her squats, she won't be making that clap any time soon.
So it is x), gotta love Chabelo.

right, i think it makes sense in twintelle case, what with being a celebrity, however too often females are very sexualized and have outrageous proportions in innapropiate contexts. wich seems a bit of a double standard as males are generally represented very fairly and according to the situation.

Heh, butt discussion has not disappointed (by showing up). I went with Twintelle though Barq is pretty boss.
If you agree that it makes sense, and that she does not have exaggerated proportions, then why'd you call her out for so long to begin with lol
The rest of your post is spot-on, but like people were saying all this time, Twintelle is a bad example to use. (Also saying females as a noun is weird imo)
That I can agree with, its a big problem present in a lot of games and society in general. As I said, it is a worthy discussion, mostly I didn't agree it applied to ARMS and Twintelle in particular.
i..wasn't? i was only saying that her proportions are, in my opinion, on the sexualized side, and thus the contant focus on her "booty" by fans and seemingly nintendo's marketing department.

So she doesn't have exaggerated proportions, but they're still sexualized proportions for some reason?

I mean, I'm looking at the last page, and... Sigh, never mind.
I mean, it's not like Mechanica is using her real arms either. It's not really a big deal.

Well to be honest most of her fans are only focusing on her ass rather than everything else about the character.

I voted Min Min because her outfit is more interesting than Twintelle's. It has a more standout color and Twintelle's seems very typical, black tights and a white top. I think the dragon/ramen/kung-fu is pretty unique for Min-Min. Though Twintelle does have human arms which is a plus.

Judging by fanart in places like pixiv I'm pretty sure minmin or twintelle are more popular their too though mechanica seems more popular in general over their last time I checked polls and fanart wise.
Not really. The ARMS are the weapons they use in battle. Twintelle just happens to use them with her hair.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Also Twintelle is surprisingly still big bodied, so despite being a star she could still be very well working out. As someone said she surprisingly has big shoulders and arms too.
We saw in the opening that while, for humans, whatever it is that causes the mutation generally applies to the arms, it can also occur in other body parts (the cat whose midsection was extendable). They're called capital A Arms regardless.

Mechanica is gonna be the sleeper hit in terms of wide appeal.
She reminds me of a Disney character.

I like Spring Man because he out of all the characters he reminds me of something that artistically, aesthetically, and conceptually came from the mind of Osamu Tezuka. Creator of Astro Boy.
Yup, this is exactly why i voted for him.
Why do you keep insulting people when you dont get away with your opinion.
In fact why hasn't he been banned still for insulting, people have been banned for the same type of responses without even having to insult multiple times in multiple threads.
EDIT: lol I talked too soon.

Those are pretty solid designs.
Remember when people accused Nintendo of not doing new IPs or characters? yeah, me neither.

Mechanica would be the protagonist of an ARMS anime if it existed and probably childhood friends with Minmin. Spring Man would be the deuteragonist/mentor. Also, Mechanica would be #TeamRibbonGirl, who has a fierce rivalry with Twintelle.
They'll do the right thing this time D:
Lol, it was a matter of when, not if.

Lore wise, the ARMS ability isn't really limited to just "arms." It just happens to occur primarily to arms. https://youtu.be/hY2_Xu3f8Bc?t=26s
You can also see creepy boss head in the background of the first pic.
I'd watch the hell out of this.

Damn right that's ribbon girl
Not enough Mechanica love in this thread though. An Arms otaku who makes a robotic suit so she can be an arms fighter herself? Come on now.
Where are these traits coming from lol

I know we barely have any sort information on these charactersdeeper personality traits beyond character introductions and short backstory. It seems to be a massive amount of projection.
If this thread has taught me anything, it's that there can be only one answer to that question: her ass.
