Yes because she was the most popular character in all their polling

I think a lot of people just didn't have the confidence to predict anyone other than the box art main characters.

Riki would be a nightmare in smash, he's tanky as hell so he'd live forever, he can heal or counter with massive spike damage, and pretty much all of his arts inflict status or do damage over time. Yoink would probably work like shulk's monado arts but in reverse, stealing stats from foes and granting them to Riki. Imagine him stealing agility and you drop to incineroar speed while he zooms around like sonic.

Actually that sounds rad as hell, sign me up :getin:

I always sorta thought that the lack of an ARMS character in Smash Ultimate was a sign that Nintendo had given up on ARMS so I was surprised when they announced the next character would be from ARMS. Minmin looks like a lot of fun and I wonder if this means Nintendo's going to give ARMS another shot with ARMS 2 or something.

My disdain for you all knows no bounds.
ARMS wasn’t a mega success, but it didn’t bomb that hard either. ARMS 2 will probably happen, but most likely in the distant future rather than near future. If it was near future they probably would have announced it now.

I'd play an ARMS 2. The first one was a ton of fun with friends, it just had the depth of a birdbath which kind of killed its longevity.

I still maintain thumbs-up joycons is the way to go.

I'm really interested in how the A/B thing works

So what we might call specials are

Up B jump/recovery/punch
Down B ARM swap
Utilt reflect

And forward smash in midair?

I wonder why they said "Vault Boy" instead of just Fallout?

It reminds me of when they said "Altair" instead of Assassin's Creed.

Probably some licensing poo poo where they get permission to use one thing, but the series name is a second thing and it just isn't worth it

They didn't do that for the UK or Japanese streams (I watched the UK one because I prefer Sakurai's voice to the voice over).

I would say it would have to do with NOA not wanting kids watching the stream to look up M-rated games, but they have MGS, Bayonetta and Persona 5 characters, so IDK

True. Gosh that's satisfying to pull off.

It's really going to depend on how fast it comes out, Lucas is bit faster on the swing than Ness, but both their forward smashes aren't reliable reflectors in my opinion.
