The latest ARMS Party Crash event took place over the weekend and the furious battle between Spring Man and Ribbon Girl ended up being a close one. Spring Man defeated Ribbon Girl by 52% to 48%. Well done to all those who participated in the action!

It’s still going to be Ribbon Girl for Smash, no doubt
Looks like someone is getting upgraded from an assist trophy
Waluigi, Krystal, and Zero: Don’t do that. Don’t give us hope.
It’s not as unlikely as people believe. Take Spingman for example…. He’s already got a model made, movement animations including jumping, dodging, and attacking AND he’s a boring assist trophy. He’s basically just a cameo as an AT and would not be missed as an AT (if he became a fighter).
We don’t need a second Mega Man rep in a Nintendo crossover game. Mega Man is a Capcom rep, whose second is Ryu (and third is either a potential Monster Hunter rep or another Capcom franchise).
Springman confirmed for Smash
Normally I’d object, saying the character has to have been in development for several months prior to release, but then I recall the Smash Ballot for the final DLC fighter for Wii U/3DS. Bayonetta was revealed to be the winner and she was added hardly three months after the polling ended.
Still, Spring Man is already an assist, and I feel there are other characters from ARMS with cooler abilities that could translate to Smash better than his.
Spring Man is the new fighter for Smash.
