I want some cute animated shorts showing the daily lives of the ARMS cast and how their extendable arms affect things.

Voted Spring Man because I really liked him since reveal. His face has this old school kind of vibe going for it I feel, the kind of design you'd find while flipping NES booklet

I didn't vote for him, but I consider Spring Man to be a perfect design, with the perfect balance of color, detail and shapes.

If Spring Man had been introduced in the late '80s, his design would hold up just as well today as Link and Samus. Like you said, he has that timeless old-school quality.

So wait Twintelle effectively has four arms? Seems like people born with hair mods in this universe would have a distinct advantage. I hope sometimes she's actually drinking tea mid-fight.

Twintelle about to hit 400 votes. :-O

Not who I voted for, but like I said, good for Nintendo to see this kind of hype for PoC.

Anyone know which characters are trending in Japan?

I hope someone makes Twintelle and Midna crossover fanart they both use their hair to fight or do things.

Twintelle and Min Min are my favorite btw.
Helix also looks cool.

Anyone think Callie from Splatoon might make a nice guest character?

Her tentacle hair fits in neatly and she could be a rival for Twintelle (hair overlap) and Ribbon Girl (profession overlap.)

Introducing the sequel to ARMS, ASS. Pick your fighter and your weapons and defeat each other using your extendable asscheeks.

I get that Spring Man is like the Mario of ARMS that is to appeal to kids but, I can see Byte and Barq being the Yoshi of the series since there's a robot dog.

Now that I think about it, this guest character would make sense:

Mega Man with rocket propelled fists would work. Although I don't really expect guest characters anyway.

Mega Man has had several rocket fists anyway. Hard Knuckle from 3, Mega Arm from Gameboy's V, charged Super Adaptor from 7. Maybe more that I don't remember.

GAF's current most popular:

1) Twintelle
2) Min Min
3) Byte & Barq
4) Helix
5) Mechanica
6) Spring Man
7) Ninjara
8) Ribbon Girl / Kid Cobra
9) Master Mummy


Twintelle and Min Min have multiple times the number of votes of Byte & Barq. B&B, in turn, has more than twice what Mechanica has in fifth place.

Quite the spread! Personally, if I were doing the vote today, I might vote for Kid Cobra. He's really grown on me.

Now I'm thinking it's a little redundant having Rush with Mega Man since even Rush uses a spring to get Mega Man to jump higher.

Well, with DLC characters confirmed in future updates I wonder what other kinds of ARMS there will be.

Edit: And since Ninjara already uses chains for ARMS, it's less likely there'll be a criminal character.

I bet they'll add more ARMS with the "Blind" effect. Of the 30 ARMS currently known, only the Blorbs currently have the Blind effect. I could see them making variants of the boomerang-style gloves, the whip-like gloves, etc, which induce Blind.

BTW, all of you people voting for Twintelle after this poll has been up forever, you're totally fake and just going with a crowd, tsk tsk

Maybe Twintelle is like Spock. Even if you don't know ARMS, you're familiar with the character through Internet pop culture osmosis.

Twintelle is a decent design, but let's face it, 'best design' isn't exactly the reason she's winning the poll (I picked Min Min for the record)

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
A character doesn't get popular just because of sex appeal, there's about a million characters that are made with if not solely with sex appeal in mind, doesn't mean they are popular, they may not even b3 all that popular in their own series
