Poll: Who Is Your Favourite ARMS Fighter?

Min Min is one of the strongest character designs I've seen from Nintendo in a long time!

One vote for Master Mummy! I kind of want to like Kid Cobra too.

I may have been hoping the robot looking one was actually going to be Captain Rex from Star Tours...I mean I knew better, but I can dream.

minmin for the winwin! i hope they make a future fighter based on the old stretch armstrong toy - i am THAT old.

GAH how can you expect me to choose? MinMin is a ramen dragon for crying out loud, but Twintelle looks like Ororo Munroe and Medusalith Amaquelin had a science baby (hair and she floats)! I can't truly pick a main until I play...

I expect Twintelle will win. Why you assk?

That's easy: Min Min. She's got a dragon on her arm. End of story.

Twintelle #thicc

Master Mummy for me.I like my big heaving brutes in fighting games.Asteroth was my main in Soul Calibur and Bowser in Smash 4.Even when your fighting badly,a couple of hits from the big guy and you're right back in the fight.

@Pod plus she's partly edible.

Design-wise, my top 3 goes Byte & Barq > Min Min > Helix. The new batch of characters is more appealing to me than the first one, to be honest.

Helix for SURE

Ninjara for me. I feel he will have quick precision movements.

I dunno who I actually like because haven't played it, but by the looks of it Kid Cobra I think

Twintelle reminds me of all of the anime where they call one of the characters Drills because of their hair.

Min Min of course...

Minmin is a neat design. Kid Cobra looks pretty slick, too. But I pretty much forgot about everyone else after I saw Twintelle. Waiting for the Testpunch to see who really stands out in play, but so far I'm 100% Team Twintelle.

Twintelle.

Min Min is my new waifu I loves her sao much

Byte and barq!! Reminds me of ice climbers and I love it.

Ribbon Girl is my bae.

I knew the thirst would be real in this comment section

Spring Man. I would have spent a vote for Helix too

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Her personality?

Tbh, im not really all that interested in ARMS per se, but you can't deny the fact that the character design across the board is top notch ! I went with Twintelle for no real reason other than the goofy hair motive

Also, am i the only one seeing the body horror in this game ?
I mean, did most of the fighters just lose their arms prior or...did they hack them off for the sport ? O.o

Min Min for the Win Win. Nuff' said. Ninjara is a close second, however. I'm deciding if Twintelle should be a waifu or not; I'll decide when the game is out. One thing is for certain though;
This game has T H I C C characters.

Starting to think a certain character is going to win solely because of the fans who are attracted to cartoon characters. Trust me, I'm a Fire Emblem fan. Those people definitely exsist

@Menchi187 I assume by "thirst" you're implying that there's only interest in this game because of a perceived lack of new games,a drought if you will.I can't speak for anyone else but I know my own interest in ARMS would be no less if every single game on PS4 was also coming to Switch.Why?Because I like Nintendo games and this game appeals to me....a lot.

Twintelle. Dat 90 degree tho.

Min Min, absolutely no contest. I love Helix, though, and Twintelle is quite fabulous.

@OorWullie He's talking about males thirsting after female characters.

@OorWullie no I think he just ment most people would be talking about the female characters. Which they are haha

@Brutchie-bear They look more like Rosalina and Luma, really. And Twintelle has hints of Bayonetta to her... these might be the characters people will hate you for playing...

Me, I'm currently thinking of playing Mechanica or Ribbon Girl.

@OorWullie No, thirst is.....how can I put this in a PG way.....it's the "desire" for certain characters. Twintelle for example. Zelda had it too....

Favorite fighter? Can't say. I haven't played the game.
Favorite waifu? Can't say either. I'm torn between Ribbon Girl and Twintelle. If I must choose I say... Why not both😉. Yeeeeaah! Two waifus, One Fooligan. Get me a camera crew!

@Einherjar It was explained at the beginning of the Direct, actually. Somehow, ARMS appears to have lore.

@Menchi187 Ah,I get you.That's the 2nd time you've posted that rear to me in as many weeks haha.

@Brutchie-bear @LinkSword Cheers.Not a term I've ever used myself.I usually drool haha

I'm extremely impressed all around honestly. These and are some of the strongest designs we've seen from Nintendo aside from Splatoon.

Amiibo or riot.

Go, Go, Mechanica!

I really love Helix...and his reveal was the first time I was really interested in Arms. I also really love his theme tune.

I feel like the roster is pretty strong across the board design wise though.

Twintelle has the best Butt.

(Butt tbf - it's not easy checking out Mechanica's butt)

@Einherjar @LinkSword Yeah, Springman even said that his arms weren't there anymore when he woke up, and that it was totally "rad".

I like em all.

Poor Spring Man, no really... he deserve better.
Mechanica the worst anyway. ^^

Great video. I enjoyed seeing all the stages and glove options. It seems like I'll be playing with Ninjara and Min Min quite a bit, but I voted for the latter because her design is flawless... and she has a fire breathing dragon hand.

@OorWullie And you can expect Zelda and her new meme will be around for a while longer!

Sadly the poll doesn't allow multiple choices (seriously, who can have only one favourite fighter?), so:

Ninjara, Ribbon Girl, Helix.

Min Min all the way! Love the ramen-inspired design, very clever and works so well. All the characters are brilliant though, looks like one of those fighting games where you want to play as each character at least once in a session, which is always a good sign.

@LinkSword @NickOfTime90 I actually haven't seen the Direct, RPGLimitBreak has me preoccupied pretty badly this week

But yeah, this "suddenly, arms gone" notion freaks the crap out of me for some reason

Gosh... only can choose one.
Anyway, my First favorite fighter is Springman. So far, only him has Handsome looking and nice outfit design and colors.
My second favorite is Byte & Barq. Reminds me of Copper (Byte) & Booker (Barq) from Animal Crossing series.
My third favorite is Ribbon Girl. Looks like Modern looking Princess Peach.

MIN MIN FTW!

@Tetsuro
Don't worry.
I voted Springman as my favorite character.
He has handsome looking that I like from first impression.

Lemme play the game first

@SLIGEACH_EIRE because you're 4?

@MailOrderNinja
ARMS Amiibos ?!

@Einherjar well, at least it's rad xD

All in for Springman! Loved him since the reveal and his toothpaste hair!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
(Whistle)
Are you a Fan of Sexy Butt ?

the thirst is real apparently

@RoomB31 Says the person who threw out a childish insult. Lighten up, it's just a bit of craic.

I think I will end up playing as Ninjara since I love any character with a focus on dodging and mobility, but I find Mechanica's design to be very charming and I like the fact that she is in the league due to her own determination and know-how.

Can't understand why Nintendo tried to shoe-horn in some story about people waking up with ARMS and then 5 minutes later they introduce a character who fights with their hair.
Voted for Min Min btw

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
She's got my vote!

@Einherjar - Body horror is one of my favorite sub genres. Truly terrifying. Too many Cronenberg movies maybe?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Keep your eyes on the obvious, you shall succeed.

Twintelle is a great mix of strong, confident, and sexy. Basically, Bayonetta if she was curvier, black, and had awesome hair. She even has her own version of witch time as her special ability: she can slow attacks that are approaching her when charging her ARMS.

Ribbon Girl is second. Sometimes vanilla tastes great too. And being able to jump around in the air is a definite plus.

Bayonetta is my fav character ever. Twintelle is the way to go.

I like Mechanica's story. Dunno if I'll actually play her, though

Min Min is my favourite, but Byte & Barq are pretty awesome too.

It's so hard to choose because they actually all appeal to me pretty well. I don't know why but I'm really surprised at how many people like Min Min! She is really cute and designed well but her special ability doesn't really excite me as much as some of the other players gameplay wise. Either way, I'm so excited for ARMS!

oh man this game is gonna suck so hard

Glad I'm not the only who sees that one of the reasons Twintelle is awesome is because she looks so confident. Most of the characters have a battle stance artwork, or pose but Twintelle is either her arms folded, hands-on-hips or holding a teacup because she knows that she can win without lifting a finger, literally!
Just like with this poll, her look says 'Yeah, we all know who's going to win'.

So far i am in team min min. But i also really like spring man. He has that reach for the sky vibe about him like in the cover of the game. Yes kids love him. I do^^

Byte & Barq and Master Mummy for me. And Twintelle is definitely waifu.

@Zyrac well the dog acts on it's own. Luma you controlled. That's why I see it more as I've climber but I feel ya

@AlexOlney death by snu-snu from Twintelle?

Arms would be fun if you can buy a Switch.

Let the waifu wars begin

Helix, he is the bees knees. His name is also very cool. Maybe I'm getting a little hyped about this game.

The full roster is a lot more inspiring than the original five. The designs and concepts have all got weirder and more interesting. Arguably Mechanica was sort of novel, but clunky design is still clunky (even if it's intentional). I feel Min Min has the all around tightest design, Helix gets the 'beautiful freak' award, and Barq/Byte are... novel. Twintelle's cool, but it's going get boring reading the zillionth "TWINTELLE HAS BUTTOCKS" post by the time the game is released. Spring Man unfortunately look like an extra in a naff Dreamworks movie (as someone pointed out), and Ribbon Girl is similar, although a little more interesting. Ninjara's well designed I think, but somewhat cursed for being in the 'generic Ninja dude' mould. Mummy is a fine Big Heavy, but I'm not big into Big Heavies. And then there's Cobra. I need to see more of Cobra really.

But yeah, definitely looking like a much more interesting bunch of fighters than at launch. Now to hope that the positive noises about the controls bear fruit.

@MarcelRguez For me it's Byte & Bark > Helix > Min Min
There are a lot of good and diverse designs, and I can't wait to try all of them and all the modes.

@MadAdam81 Close enough! And yeah, I still need to give them all a sp(r)in(g) before picking a main.

Gotta be Helix. I like his design a lot. Not sure how useful he'll be, but I like the concept.

I find Twintelles character design so aesthetically pleasing. I think they've done a great job with all of the characters for this game. I love Springman and I don't care if he looks cheesy!

@Pod I would also include Twintalle in that. Both characters have incredibly strong designs

i don't even understand looking at men in a game when one can avoid it. min min for me.

@Einherjar I don't think they are human. Otherwise mechanica could have just had surgery instead of going for the mech suit. Twintelle may be half (Arms...person...alien...whatever) since her hair is what is affected. Plus look at their eyes, all the springy arms people have different eyes from mechanica.

@feelinsupersonic What's wrong with men in games?

@RoomB31 well if you look at the results, he kind of hit the nail on the head xD

Minmin-chan!

@KirbyTheVampire less beauty. i wouldn't mind if chun-li were in every game ever

@Einherjar Apparently, the meatbags are all mutants.

Gotta go with Twintelle here. How often do you see an interesting take on a Francophone African character in games? She even has an unusual mutation in context- it only affected her keratin and not her melanin. Min Min is also good, but she's more tried and true with some flair.

Twintelle and Helix for the win.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Thank you for that

My favorites are Mechanica and Master Mummy. I'm sad to see them lose out, but my favorites always seem to do that. See the final Splatfest and the Fire Emblem Heroes poll for other examples.

Mechanica's cool because she had to work for her spot, and I'm most interested in Master Mummy's plot hook of finding his family. Also, he's a mummy.

It's Twintelle in a landslide right?

I voted for hair lady, mostly because I love the fact she has normal arms to drink tea with while her hair does all the job.

At first it was Min Min but after seeing Kid Cobra it was a no brainer who my new favorite is

Twintelle. For reasons.

@Ryu_Niiyama @PlywoodStick Well, others said that Springman had regular arms at one point...its still freaky

Alien mutant robot emu or not...im prone to overanalyze stuff like that.
It was the same with MegaMan Legends back then, where people are artificially created pseudo robot humans and it still weirded me out that Trigger could just swap out his limbs on the fly

@cfgk24 Man, so crude!!

(butt right on the money).

I love Master Mummy. But that's probably the barafriend in me talking.

Ribbon Girl is still mai waifu.

I like all of the characters, so it was hard to decide. Ended up going with Min Min, because of her dragon arm though. I'm probably going to end up playing as Helix a lot however xD.

Yaaaaaaass Twintelle wins <3

@Maxz by spring girl do you mean ribbon girl?

I picked Min Min but didn't realize she's one of the most popular and now I'm not so sure. I guess I'll have to try them out and get a feel for their play styles. Does the global testpunch have times posted yet, or just dates?

@Rontanamo_Bay it's the internet, of course characters will be sexualized. Plus as a "celebrity actress" they probably wanted to go with a look that fits that... and unfortunately that ends up being hypersexualized because that sells well in Hollywood.

As for the hair... I mean, Mechanica doesn't have any sort of stretchy appendages so she built some, those technically aren't her arms either, they're just part of a machine. I think the only real rule is the characters fight with something functioning as arms (punching and blocking as arms would) which twintelle can with her hair. Heck, Min Min can KICK, shouldn't that be more of an issue?

So far Helix is my favorite, as he made me laugh several times during his reveal. Kid Cobra seems kind of forgettable to me.

Twintelle, Min Min and Kid Cobra. In that order. Truthfully, all the characters are extremely well done. Here's hoping the the actual game is equally as good

Ribbon Girl ties my heart into knots. :3

@maceng Lol - My GF also likes Twintelle's Butt! It's a win win in the cfgk24 household!

Twintelle

@King_Johobo I agree Twintelle's design is awesome! My second favourite would be a tie between Spring Girl and King Cobra:)

@SLIGEACH_EIRE mmyes!
Twintelle for the win!

@Andrew_R_2000 It generally means girls who are "thick", but in a flattering and attractive way.

I dig Min Min and Helix, and Ribbon Girl's ability looks great but her actual character design is kind of generic.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DAE6F57VwAArUOR.jpg:large

Twintelle looks like a thick latina....but she could be whatever..great design.

I voted for Twintelle but I like most of the characters, especially Min Min, Mechanica, Ribbon Girl and Helix. Gosh this makes me seem like I don't like males but the designs of the female characters + Helix and the mini-games are making me want this game.

@GabeGalaxy good choices!

@cfgk24 So envious!!

@MegaButterfree We can tell from your name, Mega-Butt -erfree

@Jamotello I remember him! Man, those Stretch Armstrong commercials were so funny too.

I voted for Min Min, I like Mechanica as well, but her mech is a little too bulky and you don't get to see much of her.

When I hear Spring Man, I can only think of Spring Man from Mega Man 7

@BlueMage stretch armstrong was made by mattel, and so was the old power glove! if they do bring stretch in, that has to be his trademark arm.

Min Min for the win win!

I lean more for Tank classes so it's Master Mummy for me.

I'd probably say Min Min or Helix, sometimes you have to side with the Clown. out of the new characters from the direct, Twintelle just stands out, i mean it could be the bandwagon effect but i kinda like the character for reasons other than the Thiccness.

Peppered french, casually sipping tea and just being classy when moving about just gives powerful vibes. i mean you have actionized characters like Spring Man/Ribbon Girl, to fighters like Min Min/Ninjara, or even the usual fighting game archetypes; Master Mummy (The Brute), Helix (The Clown) or Byte & Barq (Environmental obstacle. Litchi Faye-Ling or Rosalina, for examples).

Kid Cobra seemed kinda...there. maybe he's just a tad overlooked because he doesn't really have the "face". like B&B has that obvious appeal in his passive, but Twintelle has non-arm ARMs. between him, B&B and Twintelle, it's more like a 20/30/50% popularity thing.

Min min...i cant resist a food based character (stay fresh!) But byte and barq might be my most played.....i live odd ball characters and underused weps.

I cant resist the first chars i meet either though...i play rpgs with the starting party to the end. So spring man and ribbon girl also at the top for me. ribbon girls soundtrack will either be the best or the most tiring depending how repetive though.

So little love for my main man Spring Man. 😣

twintelle all the way.

@Rontanamo_Bay Allow me to respond on behalf of Team Twintelle - my feelings as well as what I've heard a lot of other people say: it is definitely not just about her body. It's the fact that she is a woman of color who is not a stereotype. My feelings may change as we learn more about her character, but for now what I see is a confident, cultured European black woman who comes to dominate the ARMS scene with style and grace and, yes, sex appeal. There aren't a lot of those in video games. When I see a character like that, I'm going to be on her team every single time.

My wife - not my waifu, but actual wife for some 20 years now - could tell you that "strong, confident mixed-heritage black woman" is 100% my type, and I'm pretty sure if she watched the Direct she would immediately call Twintelle as my instant main. And with a character like this in the roster, she might even be tempted to play a few rounds herself. Such is the power of representation.

And let's not kid ourselves, it doesn't hurt any that she is a superpowered hottie who fights with her hair.

I have to admit, though, that I'm already getting tired of the "she thicc" meme, and the fetishizing of her butt is going to get super irritating real fast.

Lots of horny teens and kids so I imagine a thick character model will drive them bananas and win the vote for twintelle but overall I myself think Kid Cobra looks pretty cool. Byte and barq seem like there would be a tradeoff to have the extra companion.

@Andrew_R_2000 Thick. . Well, it kinda means healthy in a feminine kind of way.

@KinneKted
Yo !
I voted for Springman because of his handsome looking man so far.

Mechanics followed closely by Twintelle and Helix

@samuelvictor I've had a long time love for Disney and Nintendo, so I dream of seeing them do more together. I've been too poor to make it to WDW for the past 5 years now as it is.

My vote has to go to Mechanica. Everyone else had some sort of freak genetic mutation (or, in Helix's case, IS a freak genetic mutation) but Mechanica is just a run-of-the-mill average person. A -brilliant- average person, but still. She works her butt off to get where she is, and I identify with that.

I usually just try and beat the single player campaign with all characters rather than settling on a main one. I get too tempted to switch around.

I'm really impressed that there are some strong female characters this time, they seem the best from watching videos - but that's not the same as playing the game

Thus we see the shallow nature of the human psyche and the objectification of women in a capitalistic, patriarchal society. Don't mind me, I have my English Literature GCSE exam on Monday.

You all need to calm down. I get it, TWINTELLE IS THICC, but it's a VIDEO GAME, if you want thicc there are hundreds of sources you can get that from which I will not list for very obvious reasons. You're lusting for a fictional character. I don't care if you like her design or draw lewd depictions of her, but calling a fictional character your "waifu" just for her body and nothing else is going a bit far. And no, I'm not talking about everyone who voted for Twintelle, but the vast majority of you voted for Ms. Thicc who's tight pants have red stitching.
Just a friendly reminder that video games are interactive media, not passive. Please don't play ARMS with 1 hand if you are lucky enough to have 2.

@Braok You honestly think you're going to shame people into stopping being lustful over fictional characters?

lol

@LUIGITORNADO im not trying to shame anybody, im just trying to tell them that they need to calm their d***s down, theyre gonna get a heart attack from how much they care about a fictional characters butt
Maybe thats the same thing

lol

Min Min's my Main Main.

@crimsontadpoles According to the official fighter descriptions, Ribbon Girl is only 17

@samuelvictor Awesome! Cool you get to see it so often. As for Disney Land Paris, I've seen a decent bit on youtube thanks to Justin Scarred. I'd love to see all the parks one day, but right now, I'd just do anything to take my daughter to meet Mickey I think.

Y'all is crazy. Mechanica, Min Min, and Ribbon Girl are in this game, effortlessly being super charming & cool, and the obnoxious one with the dumb mask and the fat butt is winning? shaking my head

Min Min is so cute, and have those awesome Kicks.
Twintelle have a similar fighting style of Milia Rage from Guilty Gear. Don't know how many people here play fighting games, but just whatch some gameplay of Milia Rage and you will see why I'm comparing those 2.
My favorites are Min Min and Twintelle, I hope this game comes with a good story mode, I want to see how the characters interact with watch other, see the lore of this new world.

@Anti-Matter One can dream.

I'd probably use the Mummy or Ninjara or Kid Cobra. My sons seen the Direct and are begging for this game. Not sure we will buy it though. At least not for a while.

I'm not a fighter fan usually so I doubt I will play it much anyway

@Rontanamo_Bay
I think this is my concern too.
Because gaming world dominated by Male , Girls with Sexy body will be sold quickly for them. They want Sexy girls exploited all over the times. It's a same Stereotype again.

Me as Male gamer too voted Springman, not Twintelle because i'm interested with handsome looking characters, not really interested by sexy butt of Twintelle.

@TruthfulVoice
Most Male gamer adore Sexy looking chics. Some of them adore too much...

But I think I am the exception. I adore Athletic, Handsome looking guys instead Sexy girls. So, Not all male gamers did the same things eh ?

easy choice: Thicctelle

I'm liking Kid Cobra; he's got a cool design. Also Byte and Bark are fun looking!

@Anti-Matter sorry don't take offence but maybe because your sexual preference is men.

I really like Helix for some reason. No idea why.

@UK-Nintendo
Eh....
......
I guess...

@Jamotello minmin isn'winwin they changed

@NotBatman_01 me too

@DDFawfulGuy u only like her 4 her butt

Twintelle because she got normal Arms.
Dont like the "Arms" Arm Styl.

@Pod Min Min got my vote, too! Both the character and her ramen bowl arena are inspired!

Spring Man!
Generic Good Guy fighting character that doesn't give up!
That's my style.

@inkling_overlord
Oh no, you caught me!
Haha, nah. That's just one of he many reasons to love Twintelle~

Twintelle is the Bayonetta of ARMS! 29% of them have voted for her... and I happened to be one of them.

@Anti-Matter yeah, Spring Man has that killer jaw line. Had to give him my vote.

For some reason I like Mechanica! She is so bubbly and cute. Who can not love her? She is also the youngest but can still kick butt. To top of my cheese sandwich:

SHE IS SO SIMILAR TO D.VA FROM OVERWATCH!

Squee!

At the same time, Min Min is also very powerful and awesome too! I can't see why so many people voted for her.

twintelle because her butt is big and hot but she's really cool besides that also
