History Trivia / ARMS

** From soon after the game's announcement, people speculated on what exactly the fighters were. Were they amputees with combat prosthetics? ArtificialHumans? RidiculouslyHumanRobots? It turned out to be an explanation nobody considered: They're normal people who JustWokeUpThatWay for reasons nobody knows. ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' depicts Min Min as a HenshinHero in her reveal trailer with her ARMS being a part of the transformation, having regular human arms when not transformed, giving us yet another explanation as to how the ARMS work.

* CastingGag: Dr. Coyle is not Donna Burke's first time voicing a mad scientist woman in a fighting game who experiments for personal gain.
