Yeesh, we still have people thinking there'll only be 5 characters.
Doesn't help that those are just the older videos translated.

New playable character announced: MinMin the ramen-noodle Kick Chick.
Also got our announcer character, who looks like a Blue's Clues character.

Ever Evolving, Ever Adapting
Arms Doubles sounds like a fun set for e sports. Count me in!
HIIIHOOO!!!
Apparently one of the menus in the Direct accidentally showed off 4 unknown characters.
A man with a white helmet, a woman with white hair and 2 robots.
Gavan, Let's get jiggy!
Darling.

Biff is the MVP of ARMS.
I just wish he was more animated...
Darling.
He's kind of claymation-y.

It's probably just for the sake of the direct. Probably will be more animated in-game.
I like that ice glove...

Minmin looks incredible. Another strong design.

They updated the character profiles with small descriptor blurbs.
- Spring Man
- Furious fighter with spring-shaped arms! Acts like a goofball, but he’s no joke in the ring. His indomitable spirit keeps him in a constantly charged state while he’s in a pinch, as he aims for the reigning champion’s belt!
- Ribbon Girl
- A singing and fighting pop-star signed under Ribbon Records! Can perform multiple jumps in midair, as if she were dancing through the sky! Majestically whirls her way through the Grand Prix, since she’s promised her fans a live performance in the finals ring!
- Ninjara
- Calm and collected ninja student, in-training at SBNU! Uses his secret technique, “Mist-ification”, to disorient his opponents by disappearing into thin air! He’ll strike from the shadows as he sneaks his way towards a passing final grade: victory in the ARMS Grand Prix!
- Master Mummy
- This bulky bruiser is bound by bandages! His muscular un-mummy-like physique means he won’t be pushed around by his opponents’ paltry punches! Nothing is known about him aside from his awakening at the Mummy Hospital, not even his reason for participating in the Grand Prix!
- Min Min
- Customer magnet for Mentenhan Restaurant, famous for their delicious ramen! She’ll noodle through the Grand Prix by knocking away her opponent’s attacks with her harsh kicks and personality! Will she win the champion’s belt, and send her parents’ restaurant into the spotlight?
- Mechanica
- Genius workshop technician and ARMS fanatic! Doesn’t possess the stretchy “ARMS Ability” herself, so she fights in her self-made powered suit! She uses her hover ability to soar around the stage of her dreams, the ARMS Grand Prix!
Man, Nintendo has had a lot of idol stuff lately.
Yubi yubi!
i think they're hoping this'll be another smash hit like splatoon
here's hoping

Those bios are great, but I wonder what the heck the characters can be classified as all the more.
And assuming the others aren't augmented humans of some sort, would this make Mechanica the human of the bunch, as she's merely piloting a mecha?
When you wish upon a side of beef, soon will come an end to all your grief
Nintendo hosted an ARMS invitational in which they invited fighting game players to the event. Dabuz of Smash 4 fame also gave his impressions.
So she does have normal human arms...
Flawless Victree
She's taller than I thought she would be.

Makes me wonder what happened to everyone else's arms...
My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!
I think I'd rather dodge than taking the full damage, but being hard to flinch. It's kinda like the Bowser situation in Smash Bros where he shrugs off weak blows.
And that's a given.
