* Min min: A family member who's a chef



**Nothing is confirmed as of yet, but in the Scrapyard, there are drawings of what appear to be Mechanica with a possible sister of hers as well as a photo of the two of them with Max Brass. If that new character is a fellow mechanic, there may at least be speculation for a DLC role.

* When equipped with the Dual Clawshots, [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Link]] could be considered viable. He could have a slightly hindered aerial movement (what with the lack of jump buttons in most Zelda games) while having a faster than average grab (coinciding with the Clawshot's speed). His starting ARMS could be the Boomerang (Gale Boomerang), the Triblast (Bomb Arrows), and either the Whammer, Megawatt, or Megaton (Ball & Chain).
** However, if it was the OTHER [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Link]] equipped with Dual Clawshots, his starting ARMS could be the Slamamander (Whip), the Cracker (Scattershot), and either the Thunderbird or Phoenix (Tough Beetle).
* If Mechanica can enter in the ARMS Grand Prix when controlling a mech, then [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii Bowser Jr.]] could do the same with his Jr. Clown Car. Since the Jr. Clown Car is already decked out with all sorts of high tech, especially the built-in arms, it could work as a fighter. His starting ARMS could be the Toaster (boxing gloves), the Revolver (cannons), and the Slapamander (tongue attack, I guess?).
* Due to the stretchy limb nature of the fighters, how has anyone not brought up [[VideoGame/SonicUnleashed Werehog Sonic]]? Yes, it's a stretch due to being 3rd party and what happened in Sonic Unleashed, but imagine how fitting he could be. His starting ARMS could be the Homie, the Dragon, and the Whammer.

* Twintelle-Currently the odd one out that shows up ARMS doesn't always go to the limb it's named after. This movie star showed up it can go to other parts of the body, in her case it's the hair. Perhaps one of the main factors people liked her before becoming part of the phenomena was her long locks that she took extra care for it and through the fact she sees her hair as a major feature that whatever causes ARMS to manifest decided to take its form there.

[[WMG: When he releases as DLC, the next DLC character will be the final boss for Max Brass]]

Seems like a good idea to tease the next character, and ol' Brass can't fight himself. It would also save on having to animate a lot of pre and post Hedlock scenes for the other characters if they had it be random.

[[WMG: Byte and Barq were originally one robot]]
Byte was made as a single robot cop with a dog like head for aesthetic purposes. One case ended with his head getting knocked off and developing it's own independent function, leading to it getting rebuilt into Barq and Byte getting a new head. this explains why the two can combine together for their rush attack and they can participate as one combatant.

* How about a fighter who'd come with her own unique ARMS, and be like Min-Min crossed with Master Mummy? I'm of course talking about [[VideoGame/Darkstalkers Hsien-Ko]]. Her Tenrei-Ha weights and default claws could be equippable ARMS and her unique mechanic could be chain swinging.

[[WMG: The appearance of an individual's ARMS is based on factors including personality and environment.]]
With the mention of how Max Brass's ARMS became belt-themed due to being the champion for so long I think it's time to look into the other fighters who gained the trademark trait and figure out what could have played a fact in their ARMS being what they are.
* Spring Man-His title is "The Bouncer" and he hangs out a lot at the Spring Gym. When your place of training has a name like that plus the appearance of the stage based around it I would say there are a lot of spring-based exercise equipment there, such as trampolines.
* Ribbon Girl-The company she works for is called Ribbonics Records, this combined with her stage name and hairstyle must mean she needs to have ribbons on the mind so naturally her ARMS have the form of those silky decorative strands.
* Ninjara-Being a ninja in training we can expect Ninjara must have a class based around the ninja weaponry. His preference in weapons must be the chained variety so his ARMS took influence from his choice of weapon style.
* Master Mummy-He's already wrapped in bandages to begin with so it's understandable how this reanimated ancient had his own past treatment being turned into his ARMS.
* Min Min-She grew up in a noodle house and thanks to that the ramen her family made became her favorite food. Plus, you know what they say about "You are what you eat."
* Kid Cobra-He's already dedicated to a sport with "snake" in the name and wants to be known professionally as a certain variety of the armless beings that he must be filled with snakey thoughts a lot.
* Twintelle-Currently the odd one out that shows up ARMS doesn't always go to the limb it's named after. This movie star showed up it can go to other parts of the body, in her case it's the hair. Perhaps one of the main factors people liked her before becoming part of the phenomena was her long locks that she took extra care for it and through the fact she sees her hair as a major feature that whatever causes ARMS to manifest decided to take its form there.
* As for Max and what his ARMS must have been before belts... I think that before he became the champion and had it influence his appearance that when his last name is "Brass" it was metallic similar to Byte.

One of the tapestries in the DNA Lab stage has Medieval European style artwork depicting two fighters with the ARMS condition fighting underneath a tree with spiraly branches. This indicates ARMS battling is a time-honored tradition of that world.

Its tropes page already pretty much spells out that he's going to be the villain. The Grand Prix Final Boss is merely the previous tournament champion that was used by Hedlok as a meat puppet for the final battle.
