ARMS players around the world will be noticing news of the game's next Party Crash event, as an in-game announcement has revealed that Max Brass will be taking on Dr. Coyle next weekend.
As ever, this Party Crash event will give players the chance to earn brand new badges and lots of lovely in-game cash, while taking on the best of the best with the featured fighters. The usual mix of game modes and whacky bonus rounds are expected to appear as always, and we have no doubt that it will be an intense affair.
This timed event will begin on Friday 23rd March, finishing exactly three days later on Monday 26th. That means you have a week from now to get some practice in with your chosen fighter and master their every move.
So, which team will you be on? Let us know in the comments below.

I will use Silver Blue Max Brass frequently.
What about Helix?! No Party Crash for my main man?!
@thesilverbrick There's one more slot for a party crash on its dedicated page, so something will be coming.
As for myself, there's some gaming expo next weekend where I'll be working at the Nintendo booth, on all 3 days for 14 hours each, so I don't know how I'll be able to take part in the Party Crash... I always got to at least level 30, and I don't really want to miss out now...
@Krisi But every one of the fourteen characters besides Helix has been featured in a Party Crash. Unless Helix is alone in the final one, one of the other characters will end up being featured twice.
Given that they're doing another test punch to promote the game, I can hardly see them dropping Party Crash so soon.
One possibility is they'll do a sort of knockout with all the winners playing off to determine the overall favourite. In which case Helix gets a bye into the second round
@thesilverbrick @krisi people have gotten far too hung up on there being X number of slots for party crashes. Remember the first time you got a badge? It looked like there were only so many slots available for those... until you got 1 more and it just ran over to another page.
I'll be surprised if we don't go through at least 1 more full cycle. These are very easy to generate by the devs.
@BensonUii That’d be amazing. Man, I miss the days of getting new fighters in this game, plus I’ve got way too many useless coins to spend potentially unlocking arms for a new character.
This will be the first event I take part in. Cant wait. Really enjoying the game so far.
A good excuse to spend some time with Dr Coyle, I might need to get her some more arms first
Love this game and glad they are still doing events and stuff for it. I'd imagine they could do party crashes again with the same fighters but different match ups.
My gaming life seems to be a constant cycle of switching between Splatfests and Party Crashes. It's "busy" but awesome!
As for my pick... I main Spring Man, so Max is the obvious choice, but he'd be a weird pick to adjust to. It's surprising how much the added size can change things up. Dr. Coyle seems like she has a good shot, but I can see her play style being tough for people to adjust to, though her perpetual movement can be a waking nightmare in the right hands (or ARMS, rather).
It's up in the air. Either way, looking forward to trying out some new combos and characters
@thesilverbrick Pretty much everyone is clueless about who Helix will be fighting against. People thought Springtron would be left out of the Party Crash to even things out (seven Party Crash slots, meaning fourteen featured fighters), but that theory was shot when he took on KC.
It's my hope that Biff will be revealed as a surprise fighter to take on Helix. There are minor lore implications that would make him going up against an artificial ARMS life form interesting, to say the least.
First Crash where I can't decide who's better! May go with Max, I'm better at playing him...
@MH4 Gosh, I know! I am not a good Coyle player,
@Kirbster1992 I love Dr. Coyle and playing as Dr. Coyle, I really do, but she's too floaty for my tastes. My mains are Lola Pop and Springtron. Lola's bouncy but just precise enough, while Springtron is Spring Man, but with added complexity (I swear to you, fine NL user, I am not a Springtron charge spammer) to make him truly great in my humble opinion.
Who's your main?
@MH4 Lola, Spring Man, Helix. Count Springtron in, too.
@BensonUii Source?
@Kirbster1992 I like Helix, but he's a tad too sticky for me, if that makes sense.
helix's challenger... has to be Dr.Coils newest (unannounced) lab creation!
... I can dream cant I
@MH4 Haha, yeah.
@Andrew5678 I was certain Springtron would be the odd one out, too, since he seemed tacked on and doesn’t have any unique arms of his own. I love the idea of a secret final fighter (Biff would be great!) to take on Helix.
@thesilverbrick Personally, I don't think Springtron was tacked on, per se. He was a cool, genuinely mysterious secret boss in my opinion, and seeing how they tied in his fighter inclusion to the game's lore was really cool. As I've stated here before, Springtron is one of my mains because he was different enough from Spring Man to make him a viable fighter, and a better one at that.
Also, how do you think Biff would commentate on the fights that's he's fighting in...? 😜
@MH4 In a sense, he technically was tacked on since he wasn't planned from the start. ARMS just happened to be doing better than expected, so they added an extra fighter in between the major updates, and we got Springtron and they even worked the Sparring Ring into the mix too.
(I found this out from a Famitsu interview done with Mr.Yabuki, with the main points translated here if you're interested: https://nintendoeverything.com/arms-producer-on-updates-more-lore-to-tell-esports-future-of-the-ip-more/)
I can see Biff making it work. Forget front row seats, there's nothing much closer to the action than being part of the action
@Andrew5678 Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for that interview, too!
