ARMS Fighters

There are 15 playable characters in ARMS. Each one is unique, sans Springtron, who is a robotic Spring Man clone.

A lot of the information on this page comes from ARMS Institute. So credits to them.

Spring Man is one of the newer fighters in the league and the third person to hold the "Spring Man" name. His dream is to take down Max Brass in the Grand Prix and become champion. Outside of the Grand Prix, he is either at the gym, eating pizza, or both.

He is an all-rounder with average stats. One notable ability he has is that his ARMS become permanently charged if his health drops below 25%. He can also parry oncoming attacks by letting go of a charge before it completes.

Default Stage: Spring Stadium
Default ARMS: Toaster/Boomerang/Tribolt

A pop idol singer/dancer signed with Ribbonics Records who has thousands if not millions of fans. She is Mechanica's idol and her and Twintelle were once labelmates.

She has smaller, less girthier ARMS than most characters, but makes up for this with her multiple mid-air jumps. She also jumps slighty higher and is more nimble in general.

Default Stage: Ribbon Ring
Default ARMS: Sparky/Popper/Slapamander

A student ninja currently attending Rasen Ninjutsu University participating in the ARMS Grand Prix for his senior project. A very quiet man who is often seen reading outside of battle, if he is even seen at all.

Ninjara has the ability to teleport mid-air in a puff of smoke, allowing him to evade oncoming attacks. He also has the fastest walking speed and the longest dash distance.

Default Stage: Ninja College
Default ARMS: Chakram/Buff/Triblast

A mummy brought back to life by a certain scientist I'll talk about later. He is participating in the Grand Prix in the hopes of finding his long lost family.

He is a heavyweight fighter who can shrug off attacks from lighter ARMS. If he does get damaged, he can heal by shielding, in increments of 10 HP. He also deals 200 points of damage by grabbing, the most out of every character in the game.

Default Stage: Mausoleum
Default ARMS: Megaton/Retorcher/Phoenix

A martial artist who also works at her family's ramen shop. She is participating in the Grand Prix to promote said shop.

Min Min is the only character who can attack with her legs (She can kick). She can also turn her left ARM into a dragon by charging. Doing so increases its size and girth and also permanently charges that ARM until Min Min is knocked down, hit by a charged ARM, or has that ARM disabled.

She was added as part of Fighter's Pass 2 to the crossover party fighting game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. on June 29th, 2020. The producer of ARMS, Kosuke Yabuki, personally asked for her to be added to the game.

Default Stage: Ramen Bowl
Default ARMS: Dragon/Megawatt/Ramram

Lifelong ARMS superfan and local scrapyard worker Mechanica is unique in the way that she does not have the gift of ARMS. So, she built a mech suit so she could compete in the Grand Prix.

Like Master Mummy and Max Brass, Mechanica is a heavyweight fighter that takes less damage from attacks thanks to her super armor. She can float in mid-air and deliver punches from above.

She's also my favorite character in the game. I main her and Springtron.

Default Stage: Scrapyard
Default ARMS: Revolver/Whammer/Homie

Glamorous cinema star Twintelle is the only known individual who has the ARMS ability in their hair. The scientists of ARMS Labs have tried to get at least one strand of hair from her but all of their attempts have failed.

Twintelle has well-rounded stats and can also float in the air while slowing down oncoming ARMS by activating her "Actress Aura". Many players consider her, Kid Cobra and Dr. Coyle to be one of the best characters in the game.

Default Stage: Cinema Deux
Default ARMS: Chilla/Parasol/Thunderbird

A pair of robot cops made to patrol the sands of Buster Beach. They began to participate in the Grand Prix after sneaking past inspection by having Barq pretending to be Byte's head. Even after it was found out they were a pair, Byte & Barq were allowed to continue participating in the Grand Prix anyways due to their popularity amongst fans.

The player controls Byte while a CPU controls Barq. Barq will punch with a Toaster ARM every 5 seconds. Byte can also jump on Barq to gain extra height. During a rush, Barq will jump on top of Byte's head.

Because they have middling stats and the weakest grab. They are generally considered to be one of the worst characters in the game.

Default Stage: Buster Beach
Default ARMS: Seekie/Cracker/Bubb

Kid Cobra is a professional "snakeboarder", livestreamer and leader of the Naja Crew gang. He is participating in the ARMS Grand Prix to get more viewers on his livestreams. Kid Cobra is one of the few individuals to have bore the ARMS ability from birth, something that occurs in only 1 in 100,000 people. His race, and what he looks like under his mask, are unknown.

When fully charged, Kid Cobra wields fantastic mobility, being able to duck under oncoming ARMS and preform up to 5 dashes in a row. He also has one of the highest jumps and girthy ARMS. Like Twintelle and Dr. Coyle, he is considered to be one of the best characters in the game.

Default Stage: Snake Park
Default ARMS: Slamamander/Hydra/Coolerang

Helix is an experimental lifeform created by ARMS Labs, who have secretly entered him into the Grand Prix in order test his merits as an ARMS Fighter and to gather fighting data. Helix can squish and strech his body to evade oncoming ARMS, making him hard to hit.

Helix is related to The Cell, gray-colored prototypes of him that appear in 1-on-100 mode.

Max Brass is the head of the ARMS League and reigning Grand Prix champion. He is a physically imposing fighter who can beef himself up by charging or successly throwing someone. Doing so gives him super armor, permanently charged ARMS and a general boost to his stats. He also shares some abilies with Spring Man. Like him, Max Brass can parry oncoming attacks and becomes permanently beefed up once he's at 25% health and below.

He and Dr. Coyle are implied to have been in some sort of relationship together at one point, a relationship that ended with Dr. Coyle holding a grudge against him for "things he said".

After traveling all over the world sharpening her skills as street preformer, Lola Pop seeks to utilize these skills to win the Grand Prix and use the prize money to start her own circus.

Lola Pop is able to inflate herself like a balloon while shielding. In this state, she can move slowly and bounce around.

Hailing from the land of Misanga, is Misango. A skilled warrior who utilizes the power of the spirit floating at his side to turn the tide of battle. Misango is participating in the Grand Prix to prove the superiority of the Misangan fighting style.

The color of Misango's spirit partner reguarly shifts between red, yellow and blue during a match. When Misango fuses with this spirit (either by walking into it or charging), he recives a mask that changes his stats depending on what color the spirit was when they fused.

• Red increases Minsango's resistance to damage, his grab damage, the size and girth of his ARMS in exchange for reduced speed and preformance in the air.
• Blue increases Minsango's preformance in both the air and on the ground but reduces his grab damage and ARM girth.
• Yellow increases the fill rate of Misango's Rush meter but reduces his grab damage and speed.

The effects of the masks persist until Misango charges again or is knocked down.

Using data gathered from Helix's participation in the Grand Prix and stolen blueprints from Mechanica, ARMS Labs developed Springtron, their finest work. After crashing the Grand Prix several times, he has eventually been allowed to fully participate as a full-fledged ARMS Fighter.

Springtron is similar to Spring Man in terms of stats, but differs in ability and temperment. Springtron, being made of metal, has decreased air game. He also lacks his permanent charge at low health. Instead, he has an EMP that he preforms by charging. This EMP, if preformed correctly, disables all oncoming ARMS. Correctly preforming his EMP also increases Springtron's speed and dash distance for around 9 seconds or until Springtron is knocked down.

"Once-in-a-generation genius" Dr. Coyle has been fascinated by ARMS for basically her entire life. This fascination, turned obsession, eventually culminated in her experimenting on herself in order to give herself the ARMS Ability. As an ARMS Fighter, she floats instead of jumping, and can breifly turn invisible by guarding or recovering from being knocked down. Additionally, she can summon a 3rd ARM by charging.

She is the Director of ARMS Labs and is a driving force of various events in ARM's world, being responsible for the creation of Hedlok, Helix (and by extension, The Cell) and Springtron (using blueprints she potentially stole from Mechanica). She is also implied to be responsible for the resurrection of Master Mummy.

Alongside Twintelle and Kid Cobra, she is considered to be one of the best, if not the best character in the game.

Hedlok is a giant, experimental wearable weapon being developed in secret by ARMS Labs. When worn, it gives the wearer 4 additonal ARMS (resulting in them having 6 ARMS in total) and replaces their Rush Attack with an explosive fireball that deals 500 points of damage.

At the end of Grand Prix, when playing on difficulties 4 or higher; Hedlok appears and attaches itself to Max Brass's head. Resulting in a final boss fight that, if won by the player, results in Hedlok flying off his head and disappearing into the sunset.

When playing on difficulties 6 or higher, Dr. Coyle will appear, knock out the Commish, and place Hedlok on her own head. If defeated, Coyle will take off Hedlok and destroy it in a fit of rage before disappearing.

Hedlok also appears attached to one of the Cell in 1-on-100 Mode as the final boss, VS. Hedlok and Hedlok Scramble.

A golden variant of it appeared in Party Crash, starting with the 5th one, Innovative Metal (Springtron Vs. Kid Cobra), in 2018.
