This is the page were I dump my theories and headcanons and just interpretations of various things in this franchise. I will find a better way to display this information in the future.

Scrapped "Story Mode" Dialog

Well-known ARMS YouTuber SNG posted translated strings of unused "Story Mode" dialog that were found in the game's files by someone named "Shadów" on Twitter. These are my thoughts after reading through the strings.

First things first, it's obvious that this dialog is from an early point in development and is mostly incomprehensible rambling from who I belive to be Max Brass for three reasons:

• This dialog is attached to an actor named "vsBossDirector". Max Brass is the director of the ARMS League.
• vsBossDirector outright says "I'm the commish!" (Max Brass' title is The Commish.)
• vsBossDirector mentions having a "huge fist" on his head. Max Brass' helmet is shaped like a fist.

There's also some lines of dialog that stick out to me in particular, such as these last few ones:

This dialog implies that it was planned for Max Brass to have known and have been freinds with Spring Man's father at one point, and that this relationship was affected by something/someone the dialog does not reveal.

I personally interpret these strings as being a rough draft of a conversation between Spring Man and Max Brass that was supposed to take place at the end of this "Story" mode (which I belive later became Grand Prix mode), before the fight and after the player (Spring Man) beats Max Brass.

The dialog cutting off suddenly could be be Max Brass being interrupted by Dr. Coyle or Hedlok showing up. But the dialog simply being unfinished seems more likely.
