No, his whole point is that she has the coolest hair, her arms are just dumb normal arms. Also Sakurai didn't add that female character from King of Fighters because "there are a lot of good boys and girls playing smash" I don't think that he would want to add an over sexualized character to his fighting game for "good boys and girls"
@@noizepusher7594 he has bayonetta shes much more sexualized than twintails and mai wasnt added beacuse she wears NOTHING under that very skipmy kimono
If someone says that picking Min Min was racist towards the coloured community, counter by saying that hating Min Min is racist towards the Asian community.
there is a guy saying she's sitll racist cuz she dosnt even look chinese. cuz you know...japan has been know for being SOOOO accurate on character hair color in anime games.
I like that Min Min got in. At least Spring Man got promoted to Assist trophy and final Smash character. Riki isn't alone! Twintelle would've added more looking at butts intances in the Smash community. They have enough of that already.
I was looking forward to Springman as a character with Ribbon Girl as an alt, but, not against MinMin. Here's hoping for more Arms characters in future Smash, and hopefully my girl Lola gets in.
“Yes, I want Black fighters, support for Black people, black lives matter! ᵇᵘᵗ ʳᵉᵃˡˡʸ ʲᵘˢᵗ ᶠᵒʳ ᵗʰᵉ ᵇᵘᵗᵗ, but come on Nintendo. Give some women some respect!”
It seems it was only true for the first pass it was explicitly said during joker's that the first dlc pack would be characters new to the smash series. Many just figured since nothing different has been said about the second pack that it would be the same as the first. Turns out that's not the case so now it's open season on spirits.
@@videogameprof by new to the series they meant EVERY fighter is already back so there's nowhere to go but up, not that it'd be 5 unique franchises or anything like that
Why the hell do people on Twitter call Nintendo for racists just because Twintelle wasn't included Min Min is a far better pick because she uses kicks etc.
Yeah you can't used other Arms characters with abilities all of have used the kick ability. That ruin characters own abilities so that will be chaos that all.
Well she's a clown made of sugar. I'm just waiting for her to sell kinder eggs. Well jokes on you americans! I'm italian and we can eat those chocolate eggs.
Bayonetta, Zero Suit Samus, Palutena, and Female Byleth got in without any major changes, so I think the issue they had with Mai was how revealing she is, not how curvy she is.
okey min min winning the tournament and ninjara in second place is now my head canon how min min got in smash and ninjara gets a mii costum for second place.
It's pretty clear in terms of fleshing out a Moveset no one other than Min Min has what it takes. Like the kicks really make up for gaps in the kit and give her options she wouldn't have otherwise.
No guys, with her "arms". Actual non-springlike arms, Twintelle does not have her "ARMS" ability on her actual arms. It would be cool sure, but having the playable ARMS rep not even have the ARMS on her arms does make it clash thematically. Min Min still wins out a bit.
Clowns are the only thing I am scared of. Had one stalking me when I was walking home from a carnival when I was 10. Probably the most terrifying experience in my life.
Yea no not all of us are your fat beer belly patriotic idiotic and it annoys me that stereoptypes like this spread generalization is an annoying thing and when it comes to people like me who accept every country I get annoyed when people get offended by one thing but generalize others the whole mindset of "I'm not american so that means I'm automatically a good moraled person and automatically have plenty of intelligence and by default am very healthy" should stop imo it's very idiotic and in a way people that do this make themselves look like what you think most americans are like
Honestly I wanted Max Brass, but after comparing Min-Min's in-game abilities to the other Fighters, and how they would translate, hers is the least stupid. Take Spring-Man, the guy gets a permanent buff at low health. Imagine Terry at 100%, but every hit is Buster Wolf. Or Max Brass, who continuously can gain super armor (or the Heavies, Mummy and Mechanica, who have it by default), Mechanic can hover. It's like making Simon a heavy and giving him Peach float. Helix's would be cool, but obnoxious. Twintelle has Witch Time AND Peach Float, Dr. Coyle would turn invisible, probably also Peach Float, and can summon a third arm. Ribbon Girl has four jumps. Again, just give Simon four jumps and see how fun that is. Misango....jesus. Ninjara would teleport everytime you touched his shield, Kid Cobra would have up to four-five dodge rolls, Lola Pop would have a Rebellion Gauge while being able to still move. Springtron can negate any sort of attack (which isn't better than Min-Min, but it's literally just Palutena Down Special, and not a gimmick), Byte and Barq....idk Min-Min just buffs an arm and reflects projectiles, we could've gotten something MUCH more toxic, combined with most of Min-Min's current kit
@@joeygamer5387 Thats what's great about fighting games, you don't have to like the main character you can someone else. If anyone from street fighter other than ryu was chosen for Smash it be weird, but this is Nintendo we're talking about. Theres much less problems.
I completely agree, I would LOVE to see Dr. Coyle in smash I feel that most people that have played the game know the amount of potential and absolute power Dr. Coyle would have in smash bros with her extra arm, invisibility, and levitation and with her inclusion she would be the very first female villain in smash bros besides Wendy-O-Koopa I guess, not to mention she's really important in the story and lore of Arms
As cool as that would be, it would probably just not translate well. Giving a zoner peach's float is way too op, and just imagine min min with a third arm. Invisibility is supposed to be a chaos thing as the only fighter that uses it is Hero from his hocus pocus.
That wouldn't really work, because unlike the Dragon Quest heroes who share the same general abilities in their source games, all of the Arms characters have multiple different abilities that are unique to themselves and are a part of their identity as characters. It'd be like trying to make Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile, and Dhalsim into costumes for one moveset.
You could technically do that with certain characters with similar body types (Springman, Ribbon Girl, Min Min and Ninjara for example), but that would result in a generic, non-representative and boring character. Bowser Jr. works because the main fighter is the Koopa Clown Car rather than the Koopalings themselves, and Hero because the 4 of them share similar habilities in general and don't have any kind of special powers or moves that separates them from the rest.
I wanted Twintelle, not cuz of the booty (though it is a bonus lol) but because I love her design and her ability to still use her normal arms too. Though realistically, even if she did win the popularity contest, I agree that she wouldn’t be the best pick due to having her ARMS ability in her hair. So I am perfectly happy with Min Min as she is still adorable and a great pick as it is the fan favorite (of people who actually play the game not the twitter mob) and the director requested it.
Or hating Nintendo because youf character isnt in the game. I want Captain Toad, Decidueye, Dixie Kong, Twintelle, freakin Galacta Knight and Waluigi! But... I totally understand why some of them are even deconfirmed, and still i can respect they choices
@@donathan2933 and even worse; Min Min is just as inclusive as Twintelle. Twintelle would be the first black character. Min Min is the first Chinese character. Twitter's SJWs and BLM movements have been twisted by those who don't understand the true meaning.
I love Twintails for her design, personality, and her uniqueness on not having the arms trait in her will arms but the fact that she can use her hair for distance and then her actual arms for close combat it's a really good concept but I don't want her in smash mainly for the reasons you said it wouldn't make sense, but might people turn it into a race issue and I hate that mindset. However, I like Min Min more because of her cool design, personality, and background as the tournament winner and her tactical mind very smart girl! Plus what she represents is also amazing and why she does what she does, she very hard working what she does doing two jobs all at once is amazing I couldn't do it. I have so much admiration for the character despite being fictional. If I were to apply it to a real person with the hardworking smart type I want to be that type of person!
Thank you! To me Twintelle is like this: Sakurai announces the second fighter to represent the Sonic series And that character is: *Rouge The Bat!* While not a bad choice if we were really choosing a second character to help better represent the series. Why Rouge? She just doesn't feel like a go to for representation of the series and Twintelle is a similarly offbeat choice They would by no means be a "waste" but don't feel like prime characters to represent the series further
@@SpookySquid14 Exactly. Would be interesting but with so few reps. That idea would have to wait (Maybe Sega decides to make their own Smash Bros. Or we get more Mii Fighter Outfits) Wouldn't knock eithers inclusion either way
I mean something I haven't seen Twintelle fans really argue about that much is her ARMS. Since it is part of her hair instead of her actual arms, certain actions such as pummeling, grabbing items, and even small things like the clapping animation during a victory screen if she doesn't win would seem more natural. And it'd be kinda weird to some in general (even those who love ARMS) to see springy arms clapping without it being awkward. And maybe it'd add a bit more to the moveset. And also, timestop is a thing (though it's more like a time slow down) added with the arms mechanic (probably into her dodging?). I'd personally argue for twintelle because of certain aspects like the ones I pointed out. Sad to say most arguments towards how Twintelle should've been the rep regard her race, her sex, or her figure. I was also bummed out that Twintelle didn't make it, but hey, Min-Min is no slouch. RIP Spring-Chads though ;-;. Press F to pay respects for them.
I originally picked Twintelle because of that. I thought it would be easier to make a character with her because she has normal arms. I serverely underestimated Sakuai's creativity.
I know people wanted Twintelle because of her race but like- by that same logic isnt Min Min the first Chinese character in smash? The whole race issue is stuipid because smash isnt about that, its about getting the most iconic game characters together for one big celebration of their games, not a political discussion
Nope Yabuki wouldn't have minded at all if she was added. He just happens to love Ramen even more so he chose Min Min. In past interviews Mr. Yabuki has said that he wanted multiple different characters in Smash. He said mentioned Ninjara because he likes ninjas, he mentioned Spring man because he is his first character, he mentioned Ribbon girl because he loves her multi jump ability and he mentioned Twintelle too because he liked her design because how unique it was from the other characters.
No. Twintelle wasn’t added because she was never a choice. It’s was obvious they focused on Springman, Ninjara, and Min Min there. Also, Twintelle isn’t sexual. Having a large butt isn’t a sexual thing unless you make it that way.
The people who wanted Twintelle and say Nintendo was Rascist is stupid. Nintendo is not about race or politics, also It wasn't Nintendo Who chose her. All the DLC Characters were chosen since the game came out so no need to be butthurt fans lmao
Well yea, the characters in Fighters Pass Vol. 2 were already decided long before the George Floyd incident. If anything, salty mofos are just trynna find excuses to cover up the the real reasons why they wanted Twintelle.
As a black guy myslef i had no expectations for anyone of our race to get in smash let alone anything made by people from asia i never get mad about us not existing in anything of theirs i watch dragonball there isn't anyone black as a character except uub who is claimed to be black by fans but i don't know if he is really because of his hair being straight like the darkskin people in naruto. People in Asia knows very little of us some think we naturally have straight hair some only knows how we are portrayed on the media some think that our skin tone always matches our biological parents (which some people of every race thinks). Have i ever got excited about a black person existing in asian entertainment yes of course. I never expected to see marina in splatoon 2, Carole from carole and tuesday, neither pokemon characters in the series and games but excited they are there.
there was General Black but I guess you didn't watch the Kid/teen Goku portion of the story, also is it really true that no one has straight hair in the community?
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer no i haven't really watch dragonball with kid and teen goku. and no on the hair our hair is not straight unless we use products to straighten it out. the only people who can have skin tone that relatively match ours and have straight hair are indians hispanics and native americans. African americans don't have straight hair biracial people can but it is super rare.
for the people saying everyone black person on twitter is mad because of this honestly kill me, there's literally a few people mad about this A FEW, anyone who indulges in this clearly hasn't seen the outrage of black characters taking major leads in movies such as 007, Star Wars, Little mermaid, upcoming X men, etc. or how most of you saying keep politics out of games sure show your anger whenever video games or movies have something to do with people of color get the spotlight ehem (Falcon becoming Captain America) but let's pretend you all wouldn't share backlash or never partaken into this type of outrage before.
The case with Falcon Is diferent, he Is still Falcon, he took the bar from Steve Rogers, is not like they make Steve Rogers Black, similar case is Miles Morales Wich is cool to
THIS COMMENT like I swear some people can be so hypocritical. I love Min Min and Twintale and I’m more glad Min Min got in Smash. The people complaining about skin color are usually in a always in a minority.
As much as people don’t want to keep hearing this, someone is still going to be angry with this video and others so just hear me out. There are a lot of people that were upset that it wasn’t Twintelle, because she would’ve been Smash’s first black skinned (by default) character. I know it’s annoying and SJW-y to point it out, especially for the people that say that the people who put Min Min in over her are racist to black people and owe representation to black people (especially with Black Lives Matter and all that). But as a black person myself, I’m not too upset Twintelle didn’t get in and I’m not going to call Sakurai, Mr Yabuki, the Smash Team, or Nintendo racist for not putting her in as one gift of respect to them in these trying times. It would’ve been nice if it was Twintelle, but I honestly think it’s for a completely innocent, non racist reason to why Min Min was chosen instead, Mr Yabuki just wanted her in, that’s it. So for those who feel like it’s a missed opportunity that they didn’t pick her as their first (not alt) black character, especially since they were really close to, I want to kindly, respectfully, sympathetically say this, it’s fine if you think that way, it would’ve been nice for her to get in, but it’s not the end of the world nor is it a betrayal to black people everywhere if it doesn’t, it doesn’t make Sakurai or anyone else immediately racist for it. Besides Min Min is at least the first Chinese Smash fighter, so I don’t think it’s as fair to right her off as another generic white character when they could’ve picked a black character. Any of the Arms characters would’ve been fine regardless of who they were, or what skin color they were. I personally don’t care about it that much, I just care if they’d be a cool character. I’m African American and I’m excited Min Min got in. Sorry I edited the typos, when I got the pin heart and it was gone.
I agree. I think people take this too far. The characters were already predetermined and would get in. It's good to exercise rights, but we need not make such an issue if none exists in the first place. The ARMS controversy should just die down, and we all should be glad that Sakurai and the team are making DLC for this game in the first place. I will be glad or not care with anyone who gets into Smash.
@@Nosretep The Gerudo have always been more of a representative of Indian culture but with an Amazon twist(except for the one male being the leader) if I remember right.
Honestly it was the moveset and the fact she had real arms is why I wanted Twintelle. It would overall be easier to implement her. Give her melee, maybe a float, and he arms be her specials. But it’s fine, nothing to get upset over. Missed chance honestly, would’ve liked a different black than Diddy and Donkey by default in the game. Min min cool to though. She is a great addition to the cast
INFERNO95 I mean they basically did, they just had fun with it. The “real” reason was because Mai’s look is too revealing to fit in a Cero A (E10) game.
Yeah I honestly thought Min Min was perfect for the job, perfectly representing the game's mechanics while also having a very unique design to set her apart from other fighting game characters. Spring Man and Ribbon Girl as well as Max Brass all fall into that category in a way of being mostly generic fighting game characters, just with extendable arms. The fact that Min Min is so unique compared to the rest (I mean she literally has spaghetti arms), as well as the unique selection of equipment for her as standard with the dragon arm and such. Plus the fact that she was amongst the first fighters revealed for the game also helped.
Im tired of having to explain this. Its is still debatable as min min couldve been an exception as it was the creators request, and you dont just deny a specific request. Its not a confirmed rule, but it is not deconfirmed
@@internetgangstersprw This is the dumbest shit ever, stop following an imaginary rule, just because they are a png in the game, they automatically can't be a fighter? The only 2 rules confirmed are that the character needs to come from a video-game, and that they can't affect the game's rating. STOP.
@@bonnjust4001 well people want to use these imaginary rules so they can grasp onto the hope that their fav will make it as a fighter, and so they can more easily predict what's next, after all Nintendo and its franchises do surprise people a lot (just not always a good surprise)
I don't know why you people even respond to Twitter crap like that, some people just like to stir up issues. As a darker skinned person, I do wish it was Twintelle. I do like Min Min, and as someone who knows Chinese, I think it's cool to have a Chinese speaking character. However, excluding pallet swaps, every human character in Smash is White/light-skinned Asian. I definitely don't think skin color is a major concern here, but at this point in the series, there's no reason why we shouldn't have a dark-skinned character. Twintelle is just cool, aside from being a first party dark-skinned female, she's unique as she punches using her hair, also she for some reason speaks French, which is pretty cool. I wouldn't call Nintendo racist, but my issue is that she was probably my last hope for having a character of dark skin to join Smash
I wouldn't give up hope. Hang in there my friend. Especially in fighting games though, I've always found myself never worrying about what they look like. My favorite street fighter characters are Ryu, Dudley, Guy and Rashid, and that probably says enough.
I just wanted twintelle because of her special ability. Imagine being able to power up on the side of the map, then spike someone. And, I know y’all are gonna be like “oh it’s just because of her looks” I literally cannot care less about looks. I just want an interesting character. Min min is still good.
LittleCart He is pretty much the only heavy (maybe max brass too). For a mobility centered game a slow moving fight would be strange. He was my personal pick but I figured it would’ve happen.
"It's always been about heroes and villains from the very launch of the game. From Ridley to King K Rool, adding villains has been a very normal part of the experience." Cmon Sakurai. Give us Dr. Eggman.
Kid cobra was my main and was hoping he’d get in if we were to get an arms rep at all. I always thought min min was pretty bland compared to other characters. I’m still happy that arms was atleast recognized again and I’m hoping for an unlikely sequel.
Twintelle has an inherent disjoint with her ARMS having a head-level position, she can float, she has a Witch Time effect, and one of her signature ARMS is an advancing offensive barrier. Chalk that up with the range on a two-dimensional field of movement, hand that there's a solid *_fuck_*_ no._
I find it hilarious how twitter went up in ARMS (Get it?) over Min Min's inclusion instead of Twin Telle. HOW DARE NINTENDO PASS ON THE MINORITY WOMAN FOR THE OTHER MINORITY WOMAN
well, in a global sense asians aren't a minority and I want to say twintelle too though I don't know the exact population size but I have an impression it's quite large on a global scale as well maybe not to the extent of over a billion for a single country but still
“TWINTELLE FOR SMASH, NINTENDO IS RACIST FOR NOT PICKING A BLACK POC CHARACTER” >Doesn’t play Smash in the first place and only knew about it when Twitter was raging
I think Spring Man had a lot going for him, and really nothing against him. Min Min just happened to have more going for her, being the producer's favorite. Hopefully he makes it in one day
This is really good. I agree with every point in the video. I just feel that they could have done what they did with hero by making everyone share a slot or make the more popular ones echoes.
I definitely agree regarding Echo fighters. You can't make them alternate skins because the characters legitimately all have different abilities outside of just their ARMS.
To the people saying that not picking Twintelle is racist. Choosing a black chart to have a black character is tokenism. The director chose his favourite and it happened to be Min Min. Don’t dig deep into superficial things this isn’t English class
On top of that, from a game design stand point Min Min was the best choice. Samurai loves representing a games mechanics in a fighter's move set. But if you start arms reps off with Spring man or Ribbon Girl, then you have to take into account both arms when including the various weapons. And considering the use of A and B for the left and right arms, it would be awkward to sacrifice two potential attack buttons for arm switch buttons. But Min Min easily bypasses all of that. Because of her ability to turn one of her arms into a dragon, it makes perfect sense to make one of the arms exclusively the dragon while down B only changes one of the arms. Now bot the player and the devs don't have to worry about managing both arms, and future reps won't need t incorporate that same potential complexity if they had been the first rep. Further more, Min Min's kick abilities also add more to her kit while other characters don't have as much stuff to incorporate into a move set.
Thank you for making this video. I'm gonna show this to everyone who wanted such discrete characters, because the points made in this video are excellent. Min min is also a great middle ground as many people liked her in general anyways.
I agree with everything but Dr. Coyle being a main candidate. I'm pretty sure no villain was added to smash without a protagonist from the same game already existing as a fighter. Since this is the first ARMS character (And probably the only one), the antagonist wouldn't be nearly as likely.
I still like that Min MIn got in, i will admit i would still loved to see Twintelle cause (besides being mt main) would have been interesting to see since she has her aura to slow down punched not to mention normal arms to hold items, still im just glad a rep is in smash in general, i really loved ARMS and hope a sequel comes soon if any
Because he appear on the box art of the game. I never really bought into him being that face of the franchise cause arms is still a new franchise. It has a long way to go to decide who the face of the game. From the looks of it min min should be the face of the franchise cause everyone seems to like her a lot.
I mean yeah, but it would debunk the stupid rule of "if a character is an assist trophy, they can't be a fighter." There has only really been 1 rule, that being "the character must originate from a game"
SwellSauce but then what would’ve been the point of making him a assist trophy in the first place I’m pretty sure they put a lot of work in to making him one
I think the thing that makes the whole Twintelle racism thing super awkward is that-ignoring the fact that people are calling Nintendo racist for not putting one of their own characters into one of their own games-Min Min isn’t white, and she isn’t even Japanese for that matter. She’s the first instance of a Chinese fighter in the game, period; prior to her inclusion, there was no such way of seeing yourself represented in the game through race if you Chinese. However, for reasons that are still unknown to me, most people shove “Chinese” and “Japanese” into the same bag of “Asian” without taking even a fraction of a second to think about the thousands of cultural differences between the two. All of this said, I’m Chinese. I never gave half a shit. I saw fighters as fighters, and I didn’t subcategorize any of them based on the color of their skin.
k- kitten those absolutely do count. Villager and inkling aren’t one set character. There are different villagers but just cause the default one isn’t the black one doesn’t mean that the skin shouldn’t count. Same for inlking. The logic you’re using is stupid.
@@netorare278 Like I said you're just proving my point they're optional where they shown in the direct no Because they are just re skins you can't use re skins as a point and i have a lot of people who would agree with me there
I wanted Dr. Coyle because her arms leave a lot of creativity for how she could use them for attacks so she could’ve had a more normal smash move set of the devs wanted, we just kinda need more villains in Smash Bros to begin with, also the points you brought up in the video
I swear the next character they're going to add is going to be a villain and I'm betting it's going to be sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7 because they just came out with the Remake so and we also do have clouds so
Master Mummy is so underappreciated too. A Heavy DLC fighter that could heal while blocking is quite a unique fighter as well, makes me sad he didn't appear in the video too.
I figured hair lady out, so in the game in gallery if you go onto the picture labeled 'arms lab confidential 7-8' it talks about these special masks that the fighters wear that let them control their 'arms' ability through eye movement or something, so they leve a spiral shape on the iris and hair lady has it which makes me think she has a modified mask for her hair that let's her control it in an arm like fashion, also I believe she's killed anyone who trys to find out how her ability works since the reporters that investigate never return
Min min is perfect for smash for 3 reasons 1- She is popular 2- She uses his arms similar to the other characters meaning that she represents the concept of the Game 3- She knows Kung-fu, and she uses his legs along side her arms hability, which means that Sakurai can also use more traditional fighting Game moves in her desing (they Even give her the Chun-li kicking attack as a close range option)
I honestly think Kid Cobra would also be a good pick since his stage would probably be the skate park and keep the moving platforms. also because har har funni boomerang, tri-punch, and child slapper
the second reason people argue Twintelle should've been choosen because she Black is also really weak, mainly because she might not even be black, see the japanease culture has a fashion trend called "Gyaru" and twintalle fits the description of a gyaru gal, now there's nothing it the lore that straight up confirms this but lets go over some characteristics about gyaru women: 1.- they tan the whole body to look brown or black, now this is not black face but rather has it's roots on japanese yokai folklore. 2.- they dye their hair on a variety of flashy colors but their more common choices are blonde or platinum blonde. 3.- they describe themselves as very fashionable women always wearing flashy or expensive brand clothing. this fits twintalle's description perfectly, and they gyaru trend is extremely popular in japanease media like manga or anime, and arms is a japanese game so you cannot really use the race card here as is not really confirm to be of that race.
Nothing about her design even comes close to hinting she's a "Gyaru", this is the most ridiculous, far reaching conspiracy theory about her identity I've ever seen. She's a black woman from France (Afro-French), how is that not obvious looking at her fan art, and comparing it pictures of real life black women? Gyaru women use fake, ugly spray on tans to get a brown complexion, there's not fake or ugly about Twintelle's shade of brown. Plus, they use ludicrous amounts of makeup with extremely gaudy and over the top outfits. All Twintelle has is a little blush and lip stick, and while she's stylish, her outfit is fairly normal compared to what Gyaru's wear. Just call her black like the rest of us 🤦.
I think that I am one of the few people who likes Misango and wanted him. I know he is a DLC character, but his mask mechanic for me would have done some Shulk type of character (Other thant that I like him a lot for his design, he reminds me of Star Platinum from JoJo [no, i'm not a weeb, I only like JoJo]) . I imagine him as some middleweight character, with his 3 poison weapon, as some ranger/ledge trapper. Similar to the Belmont, but basically an "more Risk More Reward" character. He would not have a great speed (exept when he uses his blue mask), but if you manage to stay at distance you can dominate without being touched. I like having a ARMS character, I'm not Upset of Min Min being the choice, I know is more recognizable and more Popular than Misango, I only like to imagine him in smash. Blease do not be upset at me qwq
as a black person i would feel more offended if nintendo added a black character just because of george floyd because this was announced way earlier before that and if they changed up the character just because of that i would get really frustrated and annoyed let nintendo keep their innoncence
I 100% agree with everything you said. The ARMS rep needed to be a popular/iconic base-game character that was a good representation of what ARMS is. Min Min, Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, Max Brass, and Dr. Coyle were really the only viable options.
I kind of don't get why this video exist no offense, Sakurai stated the producer wanted Min Min, I don't think there should even be a discussion pretty sure by the default if the creator of a game ask to have specific character in the game that should be pretty self explanatory
The moment an ARMS character was announced to be in Smash, Min Min was my go-to choice. My personal favorite character and main in the game is Kid Cobra, but I thought Min Min had more potential as a fighter with a varied moveset (dragon arm mechanic, kicks used for certain attacks, etc.).
Here's the thing: let's say that you couldn't use the ones that was already an Assist Trophy and Spirits. That eliminates SpringMan, Ribbon Girl, Min Min, Twintelle, and Ninjara. So the remaining are Barq and Byte, Master Mummy, Springton, Lola Pop, Mechanica, Misango, Max Brass, Kid Cobra, Helix, and Dr. Coyle. They each have their own uniqueness to them. Barq and Byte as tag team fighters Misango as a naturistic fighter. Master Mummy as a reanimated fighter. Helix as a stretchy fighter. Mechanica as a armored fighter. Springton as another robot fighter. Kid Cobra as a rad kid fighter. Lola Pop as a goofy clown fighter. Max Brass as a buff heavy fighter. Dr. Coyle as a villain fighter. They all are unique, but if one of them were to make it in... I would have to go with Dr. Coyle. Here's why: 1. She is a female fighter, the roster kinda lacks in females. 2. She is a villain fighter, which also lacks in the roster. 3. She doesn't even walk, she flies... which is kinda awesome. 4. She can grow a THIRD arm, meaning more of an advantage. 5. She has a cool, complicated backstory. 6. Her stage looks awesome and creepy. 7. For her Final Smash, she could use Hedlok and just go mad with power!!! So as you see, in my opinion she would've been an AWESOME choice. Don't get me wrong, I freaking love Min Min, but if they couldn't use any of the Spirits, I feel like she would've been the right choice.
Let's be honest, the people who say they wanted Twintelle didn't actually want Twintelle in Smash. They just wanted Twintelle's ass in Smash.
Which is why I'm glad she was not chosen.
And skin color.
Hey I commented the same rn
Haha suck it rule 34 artists
Peterson Byrd No, that’s the cover.
We all know Twintelle wasn't included because Smash Ultimate is a family friendly game.
*Laughs in Bayonetta*
ThisGuy69 Ummm what?
Twintelle is in the game as a spirit.
I mean... nothing about her is revealing or offensive.
Mai wasn’t included because she’s basically naked. 😂
You: Laughs in Bayonetta
Me: Laughs in Zero Suit Samus
Mai Shiranui Busts in!
Game is called Arms. That character has the coolest arms. Character is waifu.

No, his whole point is that she has the coolest hair, her arms are just dumb normal arms.

It's pretty clear in terms of fleshing out a Moveset no one other than Min Min has what it takes. Like the kicks really make up for gaps in the kit and give her options she wouldn't have otherwise.

So can literally every other ARMS character. ARMS is glorified boxing with gimmicks.
No guys, with her "arms". Actual non-springlike arms, Twintelle does not have her "ARMS" ability on her actual arms. It would be cool sure, but having the playable ARMS rep not even have the ARMS on her arms does make it clash thematically. Min Min still wins out a bit.

Honestly I wanted Max Brass, but after comparing Min-Min's in-game abilities to the other Fighters, and how they would translate, hers is the least stupid. Take Spring-Man, the guy gets a permanent buff at low health. Imagine Terry at 100%, but every hit is Buster Wolf. Or Max Brass, who continuously can gain super armor (or the Heavies, Mummy and Mechanica, who have it by default), Mechanic can hover. It's like making Simon a heavy and giving him Peach float. Helix's would be cool, but obnoxious. Twintelle has Witch Time AND Peach Float, Dr. Coyle would turn invisible, probably also Peach Float, and can summon a third arm. Ribbon Girl has four jumps. Again, just give Simon four jumps and see how fun that is. Misango....jesus. Ninjara would teleport everytime you touched his shield, Kid Cobra would have up to four-five dodge rolls, Lola Pop would have a Rebellion Gauge while being able to still move. Springtron can negate any sort of attack (which isn't better than Min-Min, but it's literally just Palutena Down Special, and not a gimmick), Byte and Barq....idk
Min-Min just buffs an arm and reflects projectiles, we could've gotten something MUCH more toxic, combined with most of Min-Min's current kit
Byte and Bark- just think, do you really want another character like Ice Climbers?
@@joeygamer5387 Or Smash 4 Rosalina for that matter.
@@joeygamer5387 Thats what's great about fighting games, you don't have to like the main character you can someone else. If anyone from street fighter other than ryu was chosen for Smash it be weird, but this is Nintendo we're talking about. Theres much less problems.
I completely agree, I would LOVE to see Dr. Coyle in smash I feel that most people that have played the game know the amount of potential and absolute power Dr. Coyle would have in smash bros with her extra arm, invisibility, and levitation and with her inclusion she would be the very first female villain in smash bros besides Wendy-O-Koopa I guess, not to mention she's really important in the story and lore of Arms
I legit thought Coyle was gonna be the one, but Min Min translates better into a Smash fighter.
As cool as that would be, it would probably just not translate well. Giving a zoner peach's float is way too op, and just imagine min min with a third arm. Invisibility is supposed to be a chaos thing as the only fighter that uses it is Hero from his hocus pocus.
Um... dark samus

@@Dr._Bacco But Dark Samus is levitating... in the ground
I thought they were going to do something like what they did with hero where it was one move set but the character costumes were different characters
You can't make them alternate skins because the characters have different abilities outside of just their ARMS.
That wouldn't really work, because unlike the Dragon Quest heroes who share the same general abilities in their source games, all of the Arms characters have multiple different abilities that are unique to themselves and are a part of their identity as characters. It'd be like trying to make Ryu, Chun-Li, Guile, and Dhalsim into costumes for one moveset.
You could technically do that with certain characters with similar body types (Springman, Ribbon Girl, Min Min and Ninjara for example), but that would result in a generic, non-representative and boring character.
Bowser Jr. works because the main fighter is the Koopa Clown Car rather than the Koopalings themselves, and Hero because the 4 of them share similar habilities in general and don't have any kind of special powers or moves that separates them from the rest.
@@seanmyster6 *cough*darksamus
Yes that is true, but u can argue that same thing for the koopalings and many other characters such as daisy
I wanted Twintelle, not cuz of the booty (though it is a bonus lol) but because I love her design and her ability to still use her normal arms too. Though realistically, even if she did win the popularity contest, I agree that she wouldn’t be the best pick due to having her ARMS ability in her hair. So I am perfectly happy with Min Min as she is still adorable and a great pick as it is the fan favorite (of people who actually play the game not the twitter mob) and the director requested it.
Imagine calling Nintendo racist for not picking the character you wanted.
Or hating Nintendo because youf character isnt in the game.

However, I like Min Min more because of her cool design, personality, and background as the tournament winner and her tactical mind very smart girl! Plus what she represents is also amazing and why she does what she does, she very hard working what she does doing two jobs all at once is amazing I couldn't do it. I have so much admiration for the character despite being fictional. If I were to apply it to a real person with the hardworking smart type I want to be that type of person!
I hate Min Min because people spam too much with her
Thank you! To me Twintelle is like this: Sakurai announces the second fighter to represent the Sonic series
And that character is:
*Rouge The Bat!*
While not a bad choice if we were really choosing a second character to help better represent the series. Why Rouge? She just doesn't feel like a go to for representation of the series and Twintelle is a similarly offbeat choice
They would by no means be a "waste" but don't feel like prime characters to represent the series further
NGL Rouge could be a fun character.

@@bizdude4lfe you have incredible taste
I mean something I haven't seen Twintelle fans really argue about that much is her ARMS. Since it is part of her hair instead of her actual arms, certain actions such as pummeling, grabbing items, and even small things like the clapping animation during a victory screen if she doesn't win would seem more natural. And it'd be kinda weird to some in general (even those who love ARMS) to see springy arms clapping without it being awkward. And maybe it'd add a bit more to the moveset. And also, timestop is a thing (though it's more like a time slow down) added with the arms mechanic (probably into her dodging?).
I'd personally argue for twintelle because of certain aspects like the ones I pointed out.
Sad to say most arguments towards how Twintelle should've been the rep regard her race, her sex, or her figure. I was also bummed out that Twintelle didn't make it, but hey, Min-Min is no slouch.
RIP Spring-Chads though ;-;. Press F to pay respects for them.

I think the reason why Twin-tail wasn’t chosen was cuz of her sexuality, or something. Too many thirsty fanboys would’ve chosen her cuz of that, imo
I doubt that they actually take that into account, otherwise Bayonetta would've never gotten in.
As a male I am pretty sure people would like Twintalle more than Bayonetta
Nope Yabuki wouldn't have minded at all if she was added. He just happens to love Ramen even more so he chose Min Min. In past interviews Mr. Yabuki has said that he wanted multiple different characters in Smash. He said mentioned Ninjara because he likes ninjas, he mentioned Spring man because he is his first character, he mentioned Ribbon girl because he loves her multi jump ability and he mentioned Twintelle too because he liked her design because how unique it was from the other characters.
No. Twintelle wasn’t added because she was never a choice. It’s was obvious they focused on Springman, Ninjara, and Min Min there.
Also, Twintelle isn’t sexual. Having a large butt isn’t a sexual thing unless you make it that way.

Well yea, the characters in Fighters Pass Vol. 2 were already decided long before the George Floyd incident. If anything, salty mofos are just trynna find excuses to cover up the the real reasons why they wanted Twintelle.
There's a tiny mistake here. Sakurai himself said that Nintendo chose the dlc characters, but your point is still valid

_You see, Twintelle fans, you don't represent _*_ARMS_*_ with _*_HAIR_*
As a black guy myslef i had no expectations for anyone of our race to get in smash let alone anything made by people from asia i never get mad about us not existing in anything of theirs i watch dragonball there isn't anyone black as a character except uub who is claimed to be black by fans but i don't know if he is really because of his hair being straight like the darkskin people in naruto. People in Asia knows very little of us some think we naturally have straight hair some only knows how we are portrayed on the media some think that our skin tone always matches our biological parents (which some people of every race thinks). Have i ever got excited about a black person existing in asian entertainment yes of course. I never expected to see marina in splatoon 2, Carole from carole and tuesday, neither pokemon characters in the series and games but excited they are there.
there was General Black but I guess you didn't watch the Kid/teen Goku portion of the story, also is it really true that no one has straight hair in the community?
@@Xeno-The-Wanderer no i haven't really watch dragonball with kid and teen goku. and no on the hair our hair is not straight unless we use products to straighten it out. the only people who can have skin tone that relatively match ours and have straight hair are indians hispanics and native americans. African americans don't have straight hair biracial people can but it is super rare.
for the people saying everyone black person on twitter is mad because of this honestly kill me, there's literally a few people mad about this A FEW, anyone who indulges in this clearly hasn't seen the outrage of black characters taking major leads in movies such as 007, Star Wars, Little mermaid, upcoming X men, etc. or how most of you saying keep politics out of games sure show your anger whenever video games or movies have something to do with people of color get the spotlight ehem (Falcon becoming Captain America) but let's pretend you all wouldn't share backlash or never partaken into this type of outrage before.
Probably because they got tired of black people dying in every action movie(except for the fast & furious etc.)
The case with Falcon Is diferent, he Is still Falcon, he took the bar from Steve Rogers, is not like they make Steve Rogers Black, similar case is Miles Morales Wich is cool to
Also falcon was captain america once in the comics.
THIS COMMENT like I swear some people can be so hypocritical. I love Min Min and Twintale and I’m more glad Min Min got in Smash. The people complaining about skin color are usually in a always in a minority.

Yet people still demanded twintelle
@@SL-sy6yy I know right
As much as people don’t want to keep hearing this, someone is still going to be angry with this video and others so just hear me out.
There are a lot of people that were upset that it wasn’t Twintelle, because she would’ve been Smash’s first black skinned (by default) character. I know it’s annoying and SJW-y to point it out, especially for the people that say that the people who put Min Min in over her are racist to black people and owe representation to black people (especially with Black Lives Matter and all that). But as a black person myself, I’m not too upset Twintelle didn’t get in and I’m not going to call Sakurai, Mr Yabuki, the Smash Team, or Nintendo racist for not putting her in as one gift of respect to them in these trying times. It would’ve been nice if it was Twintelle, but I honestly think it’s for a completely innocent, non racist reason to why Min Min was chosen instead, Mr Yabuki just wanted her in, that’s it.
So for those who feel like it’s a missed opportunity that they didn’t pick her as their first (not alt) black character, especially since they were really close to, I want to kindly, respectfully, sympathetically say this, it’s fine if you think that way, it would’ve been nice for her to get in, but it’s not the end of the world nor is it a betrayal to black people everywhere if it doesn’t, it doesn’t make Sakurai or anyone else immediately racist for it. Besides Min Min is at least the first Chinese Smash fighter, so I don’t think it’s as fair to right her off as another generic white character when they could’ve picked a black character. Any of the Arms characters would’ve been fine regardless of who they were, or what skin color they were. I personally don’t care about it that much, I just care if they’d be a cool character. I’m African American and I’m excited Min Min got in.
Sorry I edited the typos, when I got the pin heart and it was gone.
I agree. I think people take this too far. The characters were already predetermined and would get in. It's good to exercise rights, but we need not make such an issue if none exists in the first place. The ARMS controversy should just die down, and we all should be glad that Sakurai and the team are making DLC for this game in the first place. I will be glad or not care with anyone who gets into Smash.
What about Ganondorf?
@@Nosretep The Gerudo have always been more of a representative of Indian culture but with an Amazon twist(except for the one male being the leader) if I remember right.

Honestly it was the moveset and the fact she had real arms is why I wanted Twintelle. It would overall be easier to implement her. Give her melee, maybe a float, and he arms be her specials. But it’s fine, nothing to get upset over. Missed chance honestly, would’ve liked a different black than Diddy and Donkey by default in the game. Min min cool to though. She is a great addition to the cast
"Super Smash Bros. is for good boys and girls. So we decided not include Twintelle."
She already in the game as a spirit. Dub version of the direct is stupid and didn't tell people the real reason mai didn't make it in the game.
INFERNO95 I mean they basically did, they just had fun with it. The “real” reason was because Mai’s look is too revealing to fit in a Cero A (E10) game.
Bayonetta and zero suit smaus are in the game. And yes I know this is a joke.
INFERNO95 Springman’s a spirit and assist trophy I don’t really see your point there
INFERNO95 min min is a spirit also
Yeah I honestly thought Min Min was perfect for the job, perfectly representing the game's mechanics while also having a very unique design to set her apart from other fighting game characters. Spring Man and Ribbon Girl as well as Max Brass all fall into that category in a way of being mostly generic fighting game characters, just with extendable arms. The fact that Min Min is so unique compared to the rest (I mean she literally has spaghetti arms), as well as the unique selection of equipment for her as standard with the dragon arm and such.
Plus the fact that she was amongst the first fighters revealed for the game also helped.
I don't even care if min min got in, I'm just happy her inclusion makes spirits possible for characters. 🤞come on shantae.

I don't know why you people even respond to Twitter crap like that, some people just like to stir up issues. As a darker skinned person, I do wish it was Twintelle. I do like Min Min, and as someone who knows Chinese, I think it's cool to have a Chinese speaking character. However, excluding pallet swaps, every human character in Smash is White/light-skinned Asian. I definitely don't think skin color is a major concern here, but at this point in the series, there's no reason why we shouldn't have a dark-skinned character. Twintelle is just cool, aside from being a first party dark-skinned female, she's unique as she punches using her hair, also she for some reason speaks French, which is pretty cool. I wouldn't call Nintendo racist, but my issue is that she was probably my last hope for having a character of dark skin to join Smash
I wouldn't give up hope. Hang in there my friend. Especially in fighting games though, I've always found myself never worrying about what they look like. My favorite street fighter characters are Ryu, Dudley, Guy and Rashid, and that probably says enough.
Min Min is my main in Arms so I’m glad she got picked and also the winner of the tournament.
She is my main too!
I just wanted twintelle because of her special ability. Imagine being able to power up on the side of the map, then spike someone. And, I know y’all are gonna be like “oh it’s just because of her looks” I literally cannot care less about looks. I just want an interesting character. Min min is still good.

Ur not going to include the fact that by the looks of things, min min has the most variety of arms to use out of all the characters
By the looks of things you've never played ARMS because everyone can use the same variety ARMS.
@@Stanpai that is true I only have looked at a couple of game plays and I saw that min min could swap out her arms
@@sergeanthuman everyone can
@@Stanpai but by the look of things min min is the only one with 2 seperate arms at the same time
I think Spring Man had a lot going for him, and really nothing against him. Min Min just happened to have more going for her, being the producer's favorite. Hopefully he makes it in one day
This is really good.
I agree with every point in the video.
I just feel that they could have done what they did with hero by making everyone share a slot or make the more popular ones echoes.
I definitely agree regarding Echo fighters. You can't make them alternate skins because the characters legitimately all have different abilities outside of just their ARMS.
@@Stanpai true
They also be different weights and max brass is heavily Thicc
@@ghastly17 Max Brass before he got big 😂😂
To the people saying that not picking Twintelle is racist. Choosing a black chart to have a black character is tokenism. The director chose his favourite and it happened to be Min Min. Don’t dig deep into superficial things this isn’t English class
On top of that, from a game design stand point Min Min was the best choice. Samurai loves representing a games mechanics in a fighter's move set. But if you start arms reps off with Spring man or Ribbon Girl, then you have to take into account both arms when including the various weapons. And considering the use of A and B for the left and right arms, it would be awkward to sacrifice two potential attack buttons for arm switch buttons.
But Min Min easily bypasses all of that. Because of her ability to turn one of her arms into a dragon, it makes perfect sense to make one of the arms exclusively the dragon while down B only changes one of the arms. Now bot the player and the devs don't have to worry about managing both arms, and future reps won't need t incorporate that same potential complexity if they had been the first rep.
Further more, Min Min's kick abilities also add more to her kit while other characters don't have as much stuff to incorporate into a move set.
Thank you for making this video. I'm gonna show this to everyone who wanted such discrete characters, because the points made in this video are excellent. Min min is also a great middle ground as many people liked her in general anyways.
I like how Misango is so irrelevant, he's not even mentioned.
Twintelle fan: Twintelle should be in Sm-
Me: *grabs their shoulders and shakes them roughly
DO YOU WANT ANOTHER BAYONETTA?
Should call the game Arms and hair with Twintelle
I agree with everything but Dr. Coyle being a main candidate. I'm pretty sure no villain was added to smash without a protagonist from the same game already existing as a fighter. Since this is the first ARMS character (And probably the only one), the antagonist wouldn't be nearly as likely.
0:31-0:51: PERFECT lip sync!
I liked my comment because no one else will.
I still like that Min MIn got in, i will admit i would still loved to see Twintelle cause (besides being mt main) would have been interesting to see since she has her aura to slow down punched not to mention normal arms to hold items, still im just glad a rep is in smash in general, i really loved ARMS and hope a sequel comes soon if any
They could've used other arms fighters as alts
It would be cool to play helix in smash
Why do so many people say “springman shouldve been in because hes the face of arms”
Like
HE’S ALREADY AN ASSIST TROPHY
Because he appear on the box art of the game. I never really bought into him being that face of the franchise cause arms is still a new franchise. It has a long way to go to decide who the face of the game. From the looks of it min min should be the face of the franchise cause everyone seems to like her a lot.
To be fair, all they would need to do is retexture the assist trophy with Springtron's appearance and then that problem no longer exists.
I mean yeah, but it would debunk the stupid rule of "if a character is an assist trophy, they can't be a fighter." There has only really been 1 rule, that being "the character must originate from a game"
SwellSauce but then what would’ve been the point of making him a assist trophy in the first place I’m pretty sure they put a lot of work in to making him one
@@Crypticzen1 I don't think you understand. The idea is that they wouldn't get rid of the assist trophy, just recolor it to look like springtron.
I think the thing that makes the whole Twintelle racism thing super awkward is that-ignoring the fact that people are calling Nintendo racist for not putting one of their own characters into one of their own games-Min Min isn’t white, and she isn’t even Japanese for that matter. She’s the first instance of a Chinese fighter in the game, period; prior to her inclusion, there was no such way of seeing yourself represented in the game through race if you Chinese. However, for reasons that are still unknown to me, most people shove “Chinese” and “Japanese” into the same bag of “Asian” without taking even a fraction of a second to think about the thousands of cultural differences between the two. All of this said, I’m Chinese. I never gave half a shit. I saw fighters as fighters, and I didn’t subcategorize any of them based on the color of their skin.
Twitter: WHAT NO TWINTELLE but she’s black an could have been the first black character
Ganondorf:.....
Inkling:......
Villager:........
For the inkling in villager that’s not their base color that is an option so that really does not count at all
k- kitten those absolutely do count. Villager and inkling aren’t one set character. There are different villagers but just cause the default one isn’t the black one doesn’t mean that the skin shouldn’t count. Same for inlking. The logic you’re using is stupid.
@@netorare278 Like I said you're just proving my point they're optional where they shown in the direct no Because they are just re skins you can't use re skins as a point and i have a lot of people who would agree with me there
Mr. Game &.Watch: ........
On what planet is ganondorf black? Why do so many people believe he's black, do you not know what black people look like?
I wanted Dr. Coyle because her arms leave a lot of creativity for how she could use them for attacks so she could’ve had a more normal smash move set of the devs wanted, we just kinda need more villains in Smash Bros to begin with, also the points you brought up in the video
I’m so glad Min Min got in! Not only did I want her in, but so did Etika. #JoyConBoysForLife
Don't worry Mr. Stanpai, they got Lola Pop's good side in the background of Spring Stadium. Her portrait is just perfection, imho.
Wish Dark Horse would make comics for other nintendo games.
I swear the next character they're going to add is going to be a villain and I'm betting it's going to be sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7 because they just came out with the Remake so and we also do have clouds so
Min min is cool but I still wanted Misango, he's the pillar men rep.
AWAKEN MY MASKERS
Dubstep Aztec intensifies
Master Mummy is so underappreciated too. A Heavy DLC fighter that could heal while blocking is quite a unique fighter as well, makes me sad he didn't appear in the video too.
Didn't knew ARMS had a comic
it was supposed to release almost 2 years ago but it kept getting put on hiatus. no idea where it's at in production, or if it's ever even coming out.
I figured hair lady out, so in the game in gallery if you go onto the picture labeled 'arms lab confidential 7-8' it talks about these special masks that the fighters wear that let them control their 'arms' ability through eye movement or something, so they leve a spiral shape on the iris and hair lady has it which makes me think she has a modified mask for her hair that let's her control it in an arm like fashion, also I believe she's killed anyone who trys to find out how her ability works since the reporters that investigate never return
I love all of the Arms Characters i was just happy that one of them became an actual fighter and not a mii brawler XDD its nice to see new challengers
Or did you really not want an arms character so it brought you despair and that's why you're happy?
Min min is perfect for smash for 3 reasons
1- She is popular
2- She uses his arms similar to the other characters meaning that she represents the concept of the Game
3- She knows Kung-fu, and she uses his legs along side her arms hability, which means that Sakurai can also use more traditional fighting Game moves in her desing (they Even give her the Chun-li kicking attack as a close range option)
Wasn’t Springman and Ninjara popular the same way but with different abilities
Some are too sexy,some a weird looking,some are a assist trophy.
That's why Min min was the perfect choice
I wanted Twintelle because BLACK REPRESENTATION
I honestly think Kid Cobra would also be a good pick since his stage would probably be the skate park and keep the moving platforms. also because har har funni boomerang, tri-punch, and child slapper
Characters made for representation makes for a bad character overall. Change my mind.
You forgot "only", because we have Samus.
"Smash has this villain thing going on, from Ridley to King K. Rool"
And now Sephiroth.
Twintelle was my first choice. I think she is too thic for the game. But i hope we can get DoomSlayer as the next DLC.
the second reason people argue Twintelle should've been choosen because she Black is also really weak, mainly because she might not even be black, see the japanease culture has a fashion trend called "Gyaru" and twintalle fits the description of a gyaru gal, now there's nothing it the lore that straight up confirms this but lets go over some characteristics about gyaru women:
1.- they tan the whole body to look brown or black, now this is not black face but rather has it's roots on japanese yokai folklore.
2.- they dye their hair on a variety of flashy colors but their more common choices are blonde or platinum blonde.
3.- they describe themselves as very fashionable women always wearing flashy or expensive brand clothing.
this fits twintalle's description perfectly, and they gyaru trend is extremely popular in japanease media like manga or anime, and arms is a japanese game so you cannot really use the race card here as is not really confirm to be of that race.
Nothing about her design even comes close to hinting she's a "Gyaru", this is the most ridiculous, far reaching conspiracy theory about her identity I've ever seen. She's a black woman from France (Afro-French), how is that not obvious looking at her fan art, and comparing it pictures of real life black women? Gyaru women use fake, ugly spray on tans to get a brown complexion, there's not fake or ugly about Twintelle's shade of brown. Plus, they use ludicrous amounts of makeup with extremely gaudy and over the top outfits. All Twintelle has is a little blush and lip stick, and while she's stylish, her outfit is fairly normal compared to what Gyaru's wear. Just call her black like the rest of us 🤦.
I think that I am one of the few people who likes Misango and wanted him. I know he is a DLC character, but his mask mechanic for me would have done some Shulk type of character (Other thant that I like him a lot for his design, he reminds me of Star Platinum from JoJo [no, i'm not a weeb, I only like JoJo]) . I imagine him as some middleweight character, with his 3 poison weapon, as some ranger/ledge trapper. Similar to the Belmont, but basically an "more Risk More Reward" character. He would not have a great speed (exept when he uses his blue mask), but if you manage to stay at distance you can dominate without being touched.
I like having a ARMS character, I'm not Upset of Min Min being the choice, I know is more recognizable and more Popular than Misango, I only like to imagine him in smash. Blease do not be upset at me qwq
That sounds cool, I always call the mask his stand.
@@Stanpai yeah me too. Saddly we will never see him qwq but I'm ok with that, we can still imagine what He would look like!
@@Stanpai Kono Stando Powah!
I love the new music added. that main title is just allways so good and peppy that it really pumps you up.
Its easy why people really want Twintelle in Smash. Its cuz she thicc and 85% of them are males.
And because they want a black/dark skin tone fighter
I really hate the fact that some people think we want Twintelle just cuz she thicc
SuperMarcoToad64 aka Smt64 No they just made that up so they can riot to Sakurai. They literally wanted her in cuz what I told at my comment
@@daphy3389 I see
@@smt64productions40 luaghs we have missango and why not him.hah
Why couldn’t it be springman and his skins would be the other characters in ARMS like bowser jr.’s skins
Because not all ARMS characters have the abilities of Springman (who would have something similar to Lucario)
as a black person i would feel more offended if nintendo added a black character just because of george floyd because this was announced way earlier before that and if they changed up the character just because of that i would get really frustrated and annoyed let nintendo keep their innoncence
I 100% agree with everything you said.
The ARMS rep needed to be a popular/iconic base-game character that was a good representation of what ARMS is. Min Min, Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, Max Brass, and Dr. Coyle were really the only viable options.
Not really Springman because he is a assist trophy
I kind of don't get why this video exist no offense, Sakurai stated the producer wanted Min Min, I don't think there should even be a discussion pretty sure by the default if the creator of a game ask to have specific character in the game that should be pretty self explanatory
The moment an ARMS character was announced to be in Smash, Min Min was my go-to choice. My personal favorite character and main in the game is Kid Cobra, but I thought Min Min had more potential as a fighter with a varied moveset (dragon arm mechanic, kicks used for certain attacks, etc.).
There's one big argument. Berore smash annoucment Min min had the biggest rule 34 collection and now it is even bigger
It's nice to someone else having the same reasoning for why Twintelle should'nt have been the representative. It's called "ARMS" for a reason
Before the reveal i was really hoping Mechanica wasnt the one to get in and this explains why, also great video I LOVE ARMS SM BTW
Here's the thing: let's say that you couldn't use the ones that was already an Assist Trophy and Spirits. That eliminates SpringMan, Ribbon Girl, Min Min, Twintelle, and Ninjara. So the remaining are Barq and Byte, Master Mummy, Springton, Lola Pop, Mechanica, Misango, Max Brass, Kid Cobra, Helix, and Dr. Coyle. They each have their own uniqueness to them.
Barq and Byte as tag team fighters
Misango as a naturistic fighter.
Master Mummy as a reanimated fighter.
Helix as a stretchy fighter.
Mechanica as a armored fighter.
Springton as another robot fighter.
Kid Cobra as a rad kid fighter.
Lola Pop as a goofy clown fighter.
Max Brass as a buff heavy fighter.
Dr. Coyle as a villain fighter.
They all are unique, but if one of them were to make it in... I would have to go with Dr. Coyle. Here's why:
1. She is a female fighter, the roster kinda lacks in females.
2. She is a villain fighter, which also lacks in the roster.
3. She doesn't even walk, she flies... which is kinda awesome.
4. She can grow a THIRD arm, meaning more of an advantage.
5. She has a cool, complicated backstory.
6. Her stage looks awesome and creepy.
7. For her Final Smash, she could use Hedlok and just go mad with power!!!
So as you see, in my opinion she would've been an AWESOME choice. Don't get me wrong, I freaking love Min Min, but if they couldn't use any of the Spirits, I feel like she would've been the right choice.
I love min min I was glad to see her join I was also hoping if not her then spring man or helix
