Here is a list of potential fighter movesets in Smash, along with a whole bunch of other mechanics and aesthetics to consider. Characters will slowly come from the other book and join this one.
Character: Spring Man Franchise: ARMS Bio: Spring Man is a young ARMS athlete who trains at Spring Gym. For many years, Spring Man has dreamed of defeating and becoming champion of the ARMS . His favorite food is pizza, and he is often seen eating it in official art. Spring Man has a confident and enthusiastic personality. He takes a particular pride in his spring-like, pompadour hairstyle. (Taken from ARMS Wiki)
Mechanics Height: 1.82 m Weight: 104 Jumps: 2
Additional Movement Options Crawl: No Wall jump: No Wall cling: No Wall slide: No
Gimmick: Much like Min Min, the A button uses the left ARM and the B button uses the right ARM. The left ARM is the Toaster by default and the right ARM uses the Hydra by default. The Toaster will automatically bend towards opponents if there is no vertical input. The Boomerang acts very similarly to Min Min's Ramram, and is faster yet weaker. The Tribolt shoots off three rockets at random angles with small explosions, and is the slowest ARM. Throwing an opponent increases the Toaster's size and damage. Both ARMS can be used at the same time and be bent, along with being able to move whilst using them on the ground or in the air.
Basic Attacks Jab Combo: Spring Man will strike with his left elbow, then jab with his knee, and finally bash with his head. Holding down Jab will instead shoot his left ARM straight out. Rapid Jab: No rapid jab. Dash Attack: Spring Man lunges with a shoulder bash. Get-up Attack: Spring Man spins and gets up with his Toasters. Ledge: Spring Man flips forwards.
Aerials NAir: Spins his left Toaster in a circle. UpAir: Swings his head in an upwards arc. FAir: Shoots his left Toaster forwards. BAir: Shoots his left Toaster backwards. DAir: Flips forwards and performs a diving scissor kick.

Tilt Attacks Up Tilt: Spring Man flips backwards and kicks twice. Forward Tilt: Shoots his left Toaster forwards. Can be used in the air. Down Tilt: Spring man performs a sliding kick.
Smash Attacks Up Smash: Backflips and bounces on his ARMS. Can reflect projectiles. Forward Smash: Shoots his left Toaster forwards. Can be used in the air. Down Smash: Spins around in a circle, dragging his ARMS on the ground.
Special Moves Neutral Special: Punch If held, his will make Spring Man punch forwards with his right ARM. If in the air, he performs his Neutral Air with his selected right ARM. If tapped, this performs his neutral attack. Side Special: Punch Spring Man punches with his right ARM. He can also tilt and smash this attack. Can be used forwards or backwards, and can be used in the air. Up Special: ARMS Jump/ARMS Hook Spring Man will jump up with his ARMS. He has invincibility during the start of the move. If in the air, he'll use ARMS Hook, which acts as a tether much like Joker, Byleth or Min Min. Down Special: ARMS Change This makes Spring Man change his right ARM from Toaster, to Boomerang, to Tribolt.
FINAL SMASH ARMS Rush It acts exactly the same as Min Min's, but Spring Man is replaced with Min Min in the cinematic. He then launches off rockets from his Tribolt.

Much like Min Min getting Spring Stadium, Spring Man gets Ramen Bowl. The stage floats above an abyss and looks straight. The floor can then open up to let players go down and into the floor, where the camera can only reach them in Angled Special Smash. Players are able to hide in the bowl, but will have a light outline around them so all players can see them hiding. Hazards on makes drones fly across the stage and drop items. There is also some guard railing on the edges of the stage.
Kirby Hat: Spring Man's hair. Kirby can now use Punch. Classic Mode: Boi-Yoi-Yoing! Spring Man's route is all about very bouncy and spring-like characters.
