I’ve had this on my mind the last few days, so guess I’ll share.

I think depending on who the ARMS character is could potentially set a scary setting for the rest of Smash DLC. What I mean is, let’s say the character isn’t Spring Man. That’s only going to furthur set into people’s minds that Assist Trophies can not be upgraded to playable characters as DLC. It would be even worse if the character also isn’t a Spirit.

Some have also tried to spin things the other way around, saying if Spring Man gets in its only gonna revitalize all the fan bases who want ATs. Though I myself don’t view this as a bad thing like others do.

Hopefully we shouldn’t have to worry about that too much. The 5 ARMS characters that are already Spirits are effectively 5 of the game’s most important characters. I can’t see them going with anyone lower than them.

I feel like it’s partly these reasons why Spring Man is my prediction for the ARMS character. Maybe they created this whole guessing game just to get people to think of ATs getting promoted, and finally plan to break that fan rule at the very start of this Pass.
