ARMS UPDATE: Confusing!

Fake update trailer for the game. It's totally voodoo, or is it magic? Either way, there's a new ARMS Fighter, and he's bringing a New Attribute to the game.

[I do not and never will own ARMS. My OC IS TO ME AND ME ALONE]


ARMS: Confusing!

We cut to a misty bayou, moonlit by the light of the full moon, down to an area fenced off, with wooden platforms, and behind it, a shack. Outside said shack, there was a figure asleep in a rocking chair, his bare feet propped up on a barrel. The figure asleep on said rocking chair was a brown-skinned tall and skinny man, who had a thin moustache, as well as a gap between his front teeth, long, bony fingers, and lanky [human] arms and legs. On his head, covering his eyes, was a dark maroon top hat with a scarlet band and a skull & crossbones with swirly eyes on it. Around his neck, he wore a necklace with two crocodile teeth. He also wore a dark maroon undertaker tailcoat and black pants, a purple vest under his tailcoat that didn't entirely cover his midriff, and a red cummerbund. The tails of his tailcoat were strangely made of long and spiralling purple silk, with jet black cuffs. On his face, he had a skull motif painted on it.

The man heard a loud rustling, and opened his eyes, revealing jet-black irises. He then straightened his hat, his eyes narrowing in stern determination, then got up, adjusted his hat, put his feet into black shoes with white spats over them, and then he climbed the fence to the other side, and stood in front of the person who he'd seen - who was none other than Min Min, who stared in awe and shock at him.

"Dr. ShadowBone is in the house!" the figure exclaimed, his coattails flaring up in a spooky manner.


NEW FIGHTER: 'DR. SHADOWBONE'


*Gameplay Footage*

Dr. ShadowBone accepted Min Min's challenge and the battle began. On the cuffs of his purple silk ARMS were 2 black and white swirl-patterned wheel discs. Dr. ShadowBone charged them up, then fired them, and they headed towards Min Min, and stopped. Suddenly, a purple cone with a swirling pattern came out form the wheels as they began to spin. Min Min was caught in said cone, and she began to glow a mysterious dark purple aura. Immediately, her directional controls were reversed. Dr. ShadowBone was able to pummel her hard.

Moving to a different battle against Spring Man, Dr. ShadowBone switched out his ARMS for two new ones that were like Helix's Guardian, except they were in his colours - dark maroon, purple, and red. He struck Spring Man with their attack, and like with Min Min, Spring Man's directional controls were reversed, thus allowing Dr. ShadowBone to whup him good.

Dr. ShadowBone switched his ARMS once more to face off against Kid Cobra; these ones were dark purple and white versions of Mechanica's Whammers. When they struck Kid Cobra at charge, Kid Cobra's directional controls were reversed, and thus, he ended up with the same fate as Min Min & Spring Man had gotten before him.

In a battle with Misango, Dr. Shadowbone blocked Misango's Glushers, and started to chant a voodoo spell. When it was finished, he glowed in a bright red aura. He launched a charged attack with his Whackers on Misango, and, you guessed it - Misango's directional controls were reversed.

Dr. ShadowBone grabbed the confused Misango, twirled round, and slammed Misango HARD into the swamp water. As Misango stumbled around, confused, Dr. ShadowBone chanted another spell, and he glowed a vibrant yellow aura.

No sooner had the confuse deffect on Misango wore off, Dr ShadowBone activated his Rush, striking Misango with his 2 Whacker ARMS repeatedly, ending with a whack in the face. Misango dropped face first into the swamp water; no HP left to continue the fight. Victory assured, Dr ShadowBone removed his top hat, revealing he was bald, and bowed to the camera.

Voice Actor: Keith David

Character Background: A chief mystic, and hypnotist supreme, Dr. ShadowBone is one spooky man. He lives far on the outskirts of the city, in the swampy bayou. He's a real game player, and his mystic spells can give him an edge on the battle, using his coat-tail ARMS. He was almost kicked outta the ARMS league for using illegal voodoo spells, but his sly move of hypnotizing Max Brass into allowing them kept him in the league. Dr. ShadowBone even built his own ARMS arena near his shack, in the swampy bayou. He'll welcome anyone who tries to take him and his voodoo spells on. When he's not fighting, he often goes for a barefoot wade in the shallow parts of the swamp every night.

Abilities: When Dr. Shadowbone blocks, he can chant a voodoo spell that either gives him temporary strength, speed, or temporary refilling of health* [*-only if he's lost some], or the Rush Gauge. He must remain still when he does it, making him vulnerable to attacks from behind. Once the spell wears off, he as a 20 second cooldown before he can do another spell.

Grab: He grabs the fighter, twirls round, then slams them into the ground.

Default ARMS:

Swirly – A black and white swirl-patterned wheel, which is one of the new Confusion Attribute ARMS. When charged, opponents are confused by the cone of hypnotizing energy.

Dark Guardian – A dark-coloured version of the Guardian ARM that uses the Confusion attribute.

Whacker – A Hammer infused with the Confusion element, that confuses opponents when it hits.

Stage: – Shadow Swamp: An arena in a bayou with wooden platforms to stand on, fences to keep the fighters from going too far out, and swamp water. Jumping into the swamp water will slow the fighters' movement. Luckily, it's shallow.

CONFUSION

Symbol: 2 Purple Arrows, pointed in different directions

Description: When charged, opponents hit by the ARM will gain a dark purple Aura, and their directional controls will be temporarily reversed. The effect lasts 8 seconds, and it can stack up to 3 times.
