Not quite as hypnotic as the '4 days left' one, but I'll let it pass.

iirc the Twitter gifs aren't gifs, they just get saved as MP4 or something. I can't remember.
Why does the Arms twitter get a thread?
Why does the Arms twitter get a thread?
Because someone made one?
Why did Splatoon's? True mysteries of the universe.
Seems like someone should have just posted this in one of the maby other arms related threads.
Dont remember splatoons twitter page getting a thread.. But agreed...assuming it did get one...why would we need one? I feel like information pertaining to these games being divided amongst 5 differents threads is kind of anti-productive......

Spring Man's design alone perfectly summarizes what the game is all about. I mean, your opinion is subjective. I don't think Spring Man's design is generic. Find me a character that looks similar. Twin looks great as a character, but I'm not sure how you can say her look is above his. But it's all subjective.Spring just seems forced as the "face" of ARMS which is a turn off to me. He kinda doesn't read as anything but generic and designed from a marketing stand point as the safest thing for a game like this. I don't see anything iconic about his design or persona so I wouldn't call it a potential "timeless design" either. Like that one Lucario rip off, Zoroark. Sometimes you miss the mark when trying to mimic iconic design elements.
I actually find Twintelle to be a fair bit more "generic" than Spring Man, insofar as her lower torso is pretty much copy/pasted from Bayonetta, right down to the booty and style of pants. Beyond that she's a pretty girl with a lucha mask and drill-tails.
I like her design, don't get me wrong. But for me, Spring Man's color scheme, lithe silhouette and metallic pompadour give him more POP. Great design, and I look forward to him arriving in Smash Bros.
"Springaling!"
Their daily art updates have become sort of an event. The other threads are bogged down with all sorts of other nonsense. For whatever reason, this thread has remained pretty much on topic. Until now so I digress.

Twintelle's mid-air float pose is pretty much straight out of Bayonetta. I don't mind, though, because it's super-cool, and I adore Bayonetta.Uhh, I guess? Really if it weren't for her time powers, I wouldn't connect her to Bayonetta at all for something as silly as her also having a butt.
If other twitters have a daily stream of updates about gameplay systems and mechanics and controller schematics and demo details and character concept art, and if people actually want to discuss that new information... Then sure, they should have threads too. Why not? If there's no interest, the thread will fade into obscurity.I mean i could use these arguments to justify the creation of any thread...and if every games twitter page had a thread i feel discussion would be far less productive here on gaf. Currently as somebody intrigued by the game im finding it hard to find any actually impactful discussion thats not just hype imo. Ultimately the community is contributing to making the game less intriguing to me with all these unneccesary threads.

I used giphy. It automatically detected the length.

The OP currently uses the 4 days left GIF though.

goddamnit NoA, your twitter post just incited something fierce lol

Just realized something. Unless they messed with the game systems just to create that gif, does Helix actually charge up his ARMS when he's extended out like that?
Why does the Arms twitter get a thread?
We've known that for a while.
So what exactly is Biff? A robot? A sentient mascot character?
You might have but I haven't seen anyone state that specifically. All the different character-specific methods of charging arms need to be compiled somewhere.

Another mind blown!Are you kidding me?
Helix's stretch stance is done with jump so that's why it charges the arms.
Maybe it's charge lag but it doesn't seem to charge initially when he stretches upwards. Oh, and merely jumping up doesn't give you charge normally, no?
It seems to always have charged at that speed when using stretch stance when looking at his initial reveal video. It might be counting the stretch up animation as part of the "cook" time to start a charge rather than waiting until the animation ends.

I'm not sure if it is automatic or if you need to hold the jump button but from the videos we've seen so far, the charge from a jump seems to kick in when they land following an empty jump and in other cases like Mechanica who can hover, the charge happens mid flight.
We've also seen videos of characters dashing without a charge resulting or dash abilities engaging like Springman's shockwave or Min Min's dragon noodle, so I think charges activate from holding the button instead of tapping.
It's the first thing I'm testing in the demo.
It's not character specific per se, it's just part of how he jumps. Holding jump means you charge up.You might have but I haven't seen anyone state that specifically. All the different character-specific methods of charging arms need to be compiled somewhere.

Superman
Archie
James Dean's iconic look
Add Black Hair and a Sequence jacket and Springman is Elvis
It feels like generic 1950s/60s Americana, except it doesnt carry enough modern influences so rather then being "Timeless and updated" it just feels stuck in the past.
A good contrast to that is Min Min who while being the prototypical tomboy/girl next door manages to update her design for the modern era. Minmin's design feels modern because, of the much more modern clothing choices, colour scheme and the Dragon arm which is a visual allusion to a tatoo sleeve. Something that much more socially acceptable in the present.
