[@tahirp4394]

GameXplain we all Know that's Mr Yabuki

[@thekirbyguy4576]

Lapis Gamer He made his way in the game.

[@chubbners1442]

That's why it looks like the character's shooting lasers from its eyes, because it's Mr. Yabuki. And we all know Mr. Yabuki's OP.

[@TheHogiBogi]

wassup

[@chubbners1442]

kosuke yabuki O H S H I T.

[@acesamm]

No I dont

[@ThatOneAwkGuy]

I’m really liking how they’re revealing these characters, with little hints and staticky ‘found’ footage.

[@Koconut5]

The graphics of ARMS look crisp and clean as ever!

[@RileyZaneMedia]

Capricious Cupcake lol

[@zayzaya.8820]

That doesn’t matter when the game is trash tho

[@lum1notryc828]

Zayzay Abayomi it isnt trash

[@benlong495]

ARMS is a ton of fun.

[@TheRealPunkachu]

Arms is pretty bad imo. At least as a competitive fighter. It's a fun party game though I guess. I recommend Pokken if you're looking for something with depth.

[@edsonvc5900]

LUCIO IN ARMS CONFIRMED

[@TokyoBalletReprise]

Shachath's Wings Lucio ball confirmed

[@MythrilMann]

SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEED BOOST

[@fungumon]

Shachath's Wings Exactly what I thought...

[@snowkrow]

L E T ‘ S B R E A K I T D O W N!

[@epicduck304]

I wish

[@jvsweet177]

hmmmm Well, the Tweet mentions that the object/creature flying around/off of the new fighter is "fluffy" and "like an Obake". An obake, for all those interested, is a type of yokai (spirit or demon) known for its ability to shapeshift (obake basically translates as "thing that changes). Common obake include kitsune (foxes), tanuki (raccoon-like creatures), and mujina (badgers). Interesting...Very interesting...

[@flopps1051]

John Wedig I have a Helix. I have a Lola Pop. UGH This character

[@bashful_michael]

It is so hard to make out what this character is. Hoping they reveal more soon.

[@bee5120]

This is like those mysterious footage videos of the Sasquatch/Lochness Monster/Yeti.

[@Stephen-Fox]

One thing I will give Nintendo for the ARMS teasers - They beat the hell out of an announcement of an announcement, while functionally being the same thing.

[@joshblue2307]

SPOILERS: We still don’t know who the fighter is

[@justins4111]

DUDE WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM???

[@joshblue2307]

Justin'sChannelOfStupidThings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@PKBen1995]

And they say the Switch has bad graphics

[@oscartoon8481]

No other console can handle that grain effect

[@Drewlightful]

It's definitely a jungle man. Dreadlocks jungle man. ...Alright! I'm down with this!!

[@toadstar1004]

With Lola Pop, the video got greyed out when she shielded to hide her inflation. I suspect that because the same thing happened when this character charged their ARMS after a dash, their ability will have something to do with that. Perhaps that thing that came off their head is some sort of third fist like Barq.

[@oceanprince3147]

Dammit Nintendo, stop teasing us!

[@flopps1051]

I’m calling it. His name is Grass Knuckles.

[@terryversaw6286]

Andrew Shao It better be

[@Josh-ql1zi]

Andrew Shao that's genius.

[@flopps1051]

Problem is.... plantsvszombies.wikia.com/wiki/Grass_Knuckles Probably copyrighted :/

[@jackeroni216]

I knew I had heard that name before! Don't judge me, I actually like that game.

[@teamskullmimikyu8390]

Andrew Shao and knuckles

[@cuber8561]

This is the same blurry features just like we got with Lola Pop

[@VoluXian]

The character's physique looks kinda lanky. lanky... LANKY KONG COMING TO ARMS???

[@sootyquill]

*HE*

[@bfnmo7750]

I'm hoping there's still an actual plant character. Mushroom head, vines for arms, gardening pot for pants. name him Vinney.

[@narbledoby97]

I clicked on this so fast

[@LordDoomsDay]

Matthew Mandleur but why

[@corncube9063]

Just watch it be rex from xenoblade 2 😂😂

[@MegaHOLAAAAAA]

Manas Malla Rex going turbo from Zelda to Arms

[@kekkkys]

Lmao

[@floralspr1te]

I swear if they showhorn Xenoblade 2 into one more game...

[@makotoniijimabestgirl2207]

Riley Briggs They really didn't at all. Its simply cross promotion with a game of similar caliber to get people interested in as niche a series as Xenoblade. They could have just half assed it and had some random 3 chests pile on top of each other when you start up the game, but instead they put much more care into the distribution and gave us a proper side quest for it. Hardly shoehorned

[@Fminus14]

Riley Briggs Monolithsoft (the company behind Xenoblade) did also help design a lot of the oversold of Breath of the Wild. So it's only fair.

[@homemadememes2248]

ITS LUCIO FROM OVERWATCH

[@SomeGameCritic]

I believe it is a Midusa like character. The things coming back to the head, and the lazer eyes somewhat support this idea, though the head thing might be something completely different.

[@edwardsponge]

So... there may be a full trailer in around a week? Donkey Kong Country released November 21, DKC 2 November 20 DKC 3 November 22 DK64 November 22 etc. Lanky Kong announced on November 20th - 22nd 2017 confirmed.

[@dramaverse3080]

Time to slow this down and try to get a decent shot lol

[@KaytchJam]

Very excited for this! I'm moreso excited for the character's ARM weapons and how they change the meta game though.

[@AtreidesOfPaul]

Actually we can see that the fighter is hidden behind a group of people all with the same hair. We have seen before that the crowd will wear something to show off their love for the fighter so we can assume that he has the same spiked up hair so it's possible the character is a boy. Edit: Around 1:09 we can see the fighter jump and his hair spike out suggesting it's a plant of some type. To me though it just seems like he a green sonic.

[@NoLongerASimulacrum]

I’m really glad they haven’t given up on arms. I personally think the game is amazing, but it would’ve been nice if they added a bit more lore in the game rather than just the official twitter and upcoming comic book.

[@rayflyers]

Average news channel: Nintendo showed a trailer of a new character. GameXplain: Also we matched the timeline to previous character reveals, so here's what you can expect. In less than 2 minutes, you still go above and beyond! Keep up the great Xplaining work!

[@keanuluis9568]

Hopefully this is an aggressive fighter, we need something to break the defensive meta!

[@mechashadow]

Those Torch ARMS look sick.

[@inklingmario5974]

his hair looks like dreads probably a rasta fighter I haven't got a clue

[@tkat136]

I paused it at a good moment and found out his/her arms are vines so it is a plant character confirmed.

[@MichaelAiyedun]

ARMS CHARACTER

[@penandtag]

Who recorded it with gameboy camera?

[@ToasterJam]

penandtag2 The trailer is supposed to look like that. It's how Nintendo made it.

[@elv3a424]

Unlawful Potato We know, it's a joke

[@Megapig9001]

"Dreads" Knock, knock, it's Knuckles!

[@Ron_Junkman]

Well I can make out a glow around the chest of the fighter and then it seems like a power attack is unleashed. That could be something. When that thing came back to the head of the fighter I also noticed that the glow is slowly lighting up, so it's some attack they have that is charged up as the fight goes on.

[@cordesbatchelder8036]

OMG!!! IS IT ROSE GOLD RIBBON GIRL?

[@tyler6643]

cordes batchelder How to Trigger Nathaniel Bandy.

[@gameraddy9926]

Could the new fighter be Biff?

[@solidgamer6160]

Gamer Addy 99 No Biff will be the last character. The one in the datamine "surprise." This looks like the "plant" character

[@zurcasi]

Could the new fighter be Lightning McQueen?

[@hwtvi3466]

Grεεηslime 65 you can’t be serious

[@jacobradabaugh6241]

It must be... Lightning McQueen!

[@hwtvi3466]

RadJacob GOD people can be stupid these days

[@Potatochan789]

With all the leaves it's most likely a plant fighter

[@steftheslayer6017]

Hope this character comes out soon, I'm ready to get back into arms

[@DigiPen92]

Did anyone get the glimpse that new fighter and the crowd in the new stage looked more like African based themed citizens. Also, I see the stage appears to be a Forest and some ruins as well. I kinda wondered if the stage appears to be Africa inspired theme.

[@FlmDownBrst]

Aztec** not african

[@takeyourpills3979]

Yup Aztec not African

[@elv3a424]

The tweets seemed to refer to japanese spirit beings though, so I doubt it's anywhere but Japan

[@dyssil249]

I think it could maybe have a taranchala(i butched that spelling) base in the fans hair styles

[@Nandtroxz]

Its going to be a ninjara rival like max brass with spring man

[@xAlejox05]

I think it is some kind of hawaiian Tiki style character

[@christopherpoussin3948]

A Rastaman with a Yōkai? AAY NEW MAIN!!!

[@juliannajm3592]

Wow a plant based arms fighter. Cool!

[@nick-playercharacter8583]

Looks like a Tarzan-esque wildman.

[@gamerboyytdisstracksvlogsa899]

GameXplain I completed Super Mario Odessy yesterday

[@hnickel4757]

Sweet, it's Lucio.

[@sketchwin1483]

Seeing as it's a jungle stage I think that it is probably gonna be a fighter that uses vine arms

[@DarkGamer364]

Dang. I wanted Tangrowth to be the new plant fighter.

[@LucianoThePig]

You can tell what hair he has by the fans in the foreground. It's definitely something to do with plants, since he's blocked by a plant at one point

[@domphobia4635]

Since you didn't realise, we know the Fighter's Headpiece because the audience that the camera is placed behind have a new headpiece on which hasn't been seen before.

[@waviibeats]

Also look at the fans. Their masks have hoop earrings

[@red-rax]

Get ready for a 30 minute analysis of these 5 seconds of low-quality footage

[@clockwork204]

Yeah, I think I saw dreads. Maybe he's some Brazilian looking dude with an Amazon Rainforest type of theme.

[@justin7109]

Might be a Tribe like character I mean the stage looks like something Aztecs would make And this character might have a Tiki mask that might have leaf's on top of it

[@NintendoThumb]

I'm still waiting for Dhalsim and Brocken or that guy from One Piece

[@ricz0tgpm917]

When can we get DJ Octavio to play arms?

[@Nintato]

Plant fighter that gains power from sunlight. Come back when I'm right.

[@ValiantPixel]

So is there going to be a Nintendo Direct soon to reveal this character...and announce other things?

[@elv3a424]

ValiantPixel Probably just a trailer on Nintendo's channel.

[@coopawesome]

I'm calling that the stage is part of the same ninja college, and the fighter is ninjara's sensei

[@jonathanmatos714]

Lucio in Arms = Overwatch port confirmed.

[@tkat136]

He looks like a character from sonic.

[@ColesWorks]

It’s totally Lucio :0

[@SketchCraftian]

It's a fucking tiki man. I called it

[@strongestzard]

my notification said "Arms character", lmao!

[@SirDave]

If people wouldn't troll grabs in the game, I'd play it more. I mean it's a boxing game, I really didn't I understand why they even added grabs in the 1st place.

[@chandler2581]

When they teased Lola Pop like this, it was pretty easy for me to tell it was a clown, but man, I am lost on this one.

[@nadiauwu8606]

the haircut the fans have looks like the hairstyle of the inkling boy in splatoon 2

[@doomdesired5360]

As long as this doesn't release on 17 of November (It probably isn't but already so many games are coming out that day plus splatfest)

[@tyler6643]

I know this a bad character suggestion but I want to see Bowser Junior in he's koopa clown kart.

[@lifeofthannerpeace5056]

its a tiki -inspired fighter. i was looking over the footage multiple times and saw fire at the start of the arms and noticed that perhaps it shoots fire . ig

[@lanadelrey3821]

Arms SNAP

[@Seth______]

Looks like it has some sort of lightning power

[@OkidokiCharlie]

I call it. It's gonna be bigfoot, or something inspired from the lores of cryptids.

[@NintendoThumb]

I'm still waiting for Dhalsim and Brocken or Luffy

[@Gojiro7]

the characters gonna turn out to be Woolie from Two Best Friends Play XD

[@J.R-Himself]

The static makes me think this is a Creepypasta now.

[@ggundamcustom7084]

I bet they have Vine arms

[@miles6261]

I know Lucio when I see him.

[@cirnobaka8948]

Looks like he can jump to the sides quickly?

[@pladica]

Cool and good

[@gregoryg123]

Just look at the spectators, they should look like the fighter!

[@snakefish18]

Why am I reminded of that Jamaican guy from Overwatch

[@MegaHOLAAAAAA]

snakefish18 Lucio is Brazilian

[@snakefish18]

LeudyV. 266 My bad I don’t actually play Overwatch😅

[@MegaHOLAAAAAA]

snakefish18 it’s hard to keep up with them anyway so it’s okay lol I just thought you should know

[@BlackRaveBow]

They have dreads? Must be Lucio.

[@gritzy9132]

Looks like a searcher

[@asoiaf__]

Lit

[@reginlief1]

I hope it's not going to be three weeks till we get plant boi here.

[@Lisnovski]

It's Lucio!

[@mtk5977]

Lucio, is that you?

[@buzzbuzz20xx]

Arms , haven't heard that name in while

[@cosmicjenny4508]

IT IS WALUIGI, YOU FOOLS.

[@logg05]

Laser eyes? Come on guys, its obviously Superman

[@MrBestchu]

Let me try maybe Shadow/Spirit or Ghost.

[@kalajooni6724]

It took them a month, from the time they teased to the release, to release Lola Pop.. That's just sad lol. So we shouldn't expect to get this fighter until some point in December?

[@Alibaba-he7ro]

It kind of looks like Akane from the game Danganronpa 2

[@izzigo7647]

I looked in the twitter and they said tropical fighter

[@NuclearOmega]

ARMS? Haven't heard that name in years...

[@timothyabbitt5722]

It's Kamui woods

[@creator-chanproductions]

Who is this 13th, mysterious ARMS fighter?
