Poll: Which ARMS Fighter Should Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

<div><div class="media_block"><a href="http://images.nintendolife.com/1cf4862ec3c16/large.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/1cf4862ec3c16/small.jpg" class="media_thumbnail"></a></div>
<p>Nintendo <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/03/super_smash_bros_ultimates_sixth_dlc_fighter_is_from_arms">recently confirmed</a> that the next fighter joining <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/super_smash_bros_ultimate">Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a></strong> will be from the company’s <em>other</em> colourful Switch fighting game <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/arms"><strong>ARMS</strong></a>. The IP may not have taken off quite like, say, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/wiiu/splatoon">Splatoon</a></strong>, but we’ve got a soft spot for the limb-y scrapper’s energy and sense of humour, and in all honesty we’re just relived we’re not getting another sword fighter.</p>
<p>ARMS launched back in 2017 with 10 playable fighters and that roster grew to 15 over time. Below we’ve listed them all followed by a brief bio from the (now-defunct) official ARMS website to give your memory a jolt if it’s been a while since you brawled with Spring Man, Ribbon Girl and company. At the bottom of the page you’ll find a poll to vote for the fighter you think should be the first to come in Smash Bros.’ Fighters Pass Vol. 2.</p>
<p>ARMS was free to play for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/03/reminder_get_ready_for_arms_in_smash_bros_ultimate_with_this_free_online_trial">from 26th March to 6th April</a>, so even if you didn’t catch it at launch, many of you will likely be more familiar with the faces below than you were before the Nintendo Direct Mini. The announcement and release is scheduled for June, but in the meantime take a look at the roster and tell us which one you’d most like to see get that prestigious Smash invitation.</p>

<p><em>With arms made of springs, no wonder they call him “the bouncer”! At first glance it’s hard to take this guy seriously, but in the ARMS game, he always takes center stage. He can perma-charge in a pinch, and that indomitable spirit is gonna take him right to the top!</em></p>

<p><em>She’s the director of ARMS Laboratories, and a certified genius. Fascinated with ARMS since she was a young girl, Dr. Coyle decided early on to devote her entire life to ARMS research. Her plans for this research are not necessarily nefarious… She simply wants to be the most powerful ARMS fighter of all time…even if that means subjecting herself to her own experiments. But all her pain and hard work will be worth it if she wins the ARMS Grand Prix!</em></p>
