This a a VERY LATE discussion but in the recent Nintendo mini direct they revealed that the first character for Fighter Pass 2 is gonna be a character from the game, ARMS.

In this thread I will give my thoughts on this reveal.

In short.......I find is a waste if a slot (C)

Now before I continue let me explain that this is all opinion and know that I am in a small minority. But please hear me out.

I should also explain that I'm also in the minority that didn't think ARMS is a good game. I tried it out & honestly I found the gameplay very boring.(C)

I will say though that ARMS has some really good character designs. Twintelle and Min Min have the best designs IMO but outside of that, the game just wasn't fun and I stopped playing ever since.

(C)

I know it's a new IP for Nintendo just like Splatoon, but when Splatoon came out in the WiiU, I had a lot of fun from the gameplay, the look and the execution. ARMS while having the look down doesn't have the other aspects. To me it just doesn't deserve a rep in smash. (C)

In fact what I'm about to say will piss people off but to me it's how I feel.

I was more excited for Byleth's inclusion than I am a character for ARMS.

Yeah I said that and I'm not taking it back.

(C)

When it came to Fighter Pass 1, I was more excited for not just Byleth, but the other least popular characters as well. While people were excited for Joker and Banjo, I was more excited for Byleth, Hero and especially Terry......and Sans.

VERY excited for Sans. (C)

Now some of you may have seen my thoughts on Byleth when he was revealed but long story short, while a lot of people hate this inclusion, I welcome it because unlike most of the Fire Emblem (Except Robin and Ike) case in smash, Byleth is very unique. (C)

Especially when it comes to the fact that his gameplay relies on the weapon wheel system that Fire Emblem is known for.

Plus Fire Emblem Three Houses is a very successful game for Nintendo, from the moment it won the game award for best strategy game,...(C)

...I knew for certain that they will put someone from Three Houses in that game and I was right just didn't expect it to be that soon.

But ARMS I don't see it. Don't get me wrong it did sell well, but I don't see it as a good IP. (C)

But with all that said, as disappointed as I am with this, it's not gonna effect me buying the pass. I will buy Fighter Pass 2 regardless of who's on it. But to me a character from ARMS is not a choice imo.

That said though, I know why people are excited for this, a lot of people love ARMS and while I don't think it's a good game, I see the appeal. (C)

I have seen a lot of people who hated Byleth's inclusion in Smash at least respect those who were looking forward to him and yeah, people who wanted Byleth do exist, hell Japan's most wanted Smash character list had Byleth in it.

And like those people I'll say this:

I'm not excited for an ARMS character in Smash....BUT I do acknowledge that there people who are and if anyone reading this thread is excited for the ARMS character, good for you. You have that right.

As for who they are gonna add, well Spring Man and Ribbon Girl are out because they are an assist trophy and Mii Costume respectfully.

For now my guess is gonna be either Twintelle and Min Min since like I said, I love their designs the most.
