If ever a game needed Luffy as a guest character its this. Would be good for Nintendo and the One Piece franchise.

AHHHHH HE'S PERFECT
I've been itching to see his reveal, and he's better than I imagined! Main material, for sure. I kinda like the simplicity of Helix as a name; in fact, I sort of like that all the Arms fighters have fairly straightforward names.
Something that strikes me is his straddling of the line between goofy and unnerving; he's garish, has big wax lips, and generally resembles a Nickelodeon reject, but at the same time, he's a genetic freak with the ability to bend and stretch in unnatural ways who speaks in inhuman sounds. The lore for ARMS is gonna be wild, that's for sure.
I also love what's apparently his signature glove, the bouncy one. Seems handy for his stage especially. I wonder what the blob status effect does? The shield glove also seems interesting.
Is it June yet?
Edit: Holy crap, that squeaking during his Super is nightmarish; he sounds positively giddy to be beating down Master Mummy! Imagine being faced with somethin like this in a more realistic setting, with it practically hyperventilating at the thought of getting its slimy hands on ya!

I'm assuming this is supposed to be a genderless character?
It looks a bit weird, but I like the animations.
Edit: oh, it's DNA Man in Japanese

The tweet says he was created by the ARMS labs.

Exactly my thoughts.

I wonder if she has parents that work at ARMS Labs or a glove manufacturing company?

A mixture of wacky and disturbing.
I like how the DNA strands keep turning. The dodges look hilarious.

Yeah, this is what I noticed, too. The punches do move pretty slow.

It's like they put every shounen trope in there.
All that's missing is teleport behind and wow he's so far.

Does this game have any content outside of 1 on 1 fighting between a very limited selection of characters that all share the same gimmick?
Should have been an eShop title.

It looks like virtual on. You have to judge what direction you dash in or you may dash into a setup.

It's all about dat movement in these arena fighters.
And of course 2v2:
Here's to hoping they have some stats at the end of matches in the final game, like punches thrown, landed %, etc.

Great post! Got any other uninformed, half-baked, hot-take jabs you'd like to take at the game while you're here? I'm craving more posts that ignore readily available information about the game and resort to vague, bullshitty reduction, please.

I am not sure ARMS will be a success (I hope so) but I really like that Nintendo is trying to be innovative in style and gameplay. I get really good vibes from this game.
So far confirmed:
-2vs2
-Online.
-Training mode
-Challenges.
-A single player mode we don't have details about, but it has been mentioned by developers.
-Comes bundled with Yellow Joy-Cons.
-At least 10 characters confirmed.
Also, each character have a different gimmick that affects their metagame. Also you can mix and match all kind of arms (Gloves) with different elemental and physical attributes and combo potential.

This is all correct except I don't think they ever said it was gonna be bundled with Yellow Joycons. Just that they're releasing yellow ones in the theme of the game.
I could be wrong.

I didn't hear about this story mode.
Apart from that, sounds like less content and less depth than launch SFV. 10 characters is low, especially when they're all essentially clones.

That's pretty sad for SFV since it's a franchise thats been out for two decades and ARMS is a brand new IP. It makes ARMS look better.
Not bloody sure how you can deduce it has more or less content than SFV.

You realise there's most probably like 30+ arms at launch. I don't think less content than SFV is a conclusion that makes much sense.Especially considering not all modes are even announced.
