ARMS: New fighter Helix revealed
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch, Videos | 33 Comments
Nintendo has steadily been revealing some new information about ARMS recently, mostly through the game’s official Japanese Twitter account. It’s been interesting stuff like alternate costumes, but nothing too major. Today, however, they revealed an entirely new fighter – Helix. Turns out that the “Lab” stage that has been showcased a lot lately is his “home” stage as Helix seems to be a creation of this lab. His design is inspired by DNA strands (and he is literally called “DNA Man” in the Japanese version). Check out his reveal trailer:
Incidentally, Helix is one of the four characters that were accidentally revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct.
