Twintelle is a playable fighter in ARMS. She was first revealed during the ARMS Direct on 2017-05-17.
Appearance
Twintelle is a human with brown skin. She has aquamarine eyes with magenta eyelashes and white hair with pink highlights in two long tails. Her hair is what actually manifested the ARMS ability, unlike all other playable characters and nearly all ARMS users, and as such, she has natural human arms. She dons a blue mask with turquoise markings around the eyes that resemble eye shadow, and a small turquoise dot on the right that acts as a beauty mark. Due to her line of work, she is a woman of high fashion, and her main outfit consists of a sleeveless white shirt with a high collar, a diamond-like pattern, a magenta waist resulting a bow in the back, a golden zip on the back and a logo embellished in gold on the chest. She wears black tight pants with magenta lines on the sides, and black heels with white straps and red soles. Her accessories include earrings in the form of leaves and gold bracelets. Another outfit she wears includes a high-collared coat with black buttons and mittens with her logo on them, and a sleeveless white shirt with a transparent high collar and tight blue jeans along with black heels.
Backstory
"The mega celeb, star of the silver screen tries her hand...er, hair at the ARMS Grand Prix. Not content with her acting awards and accolades, she's gonna use those stretchy silver locks to take the ARMS title! Oh, and while she's charging up, her actress aura can slow down incoming ARMS!" —Official description
Twintelle used to be labelmates with Ribbon Girl, as Biff put it, before she moved on to a career of acting.[1] According to ARMS Labs, she is the only person whose hair possesses the ARMS ability. She has refused requests for examination from the ARMS Labs three times. The labs are currently trying to get at least a single hair from her for examination.
Abilities
Aura: Her abilities include slowing incoming attacks while charging her punches on the ground or during her air-dash, allowing her opportunity to dodge out of the way and counterattack. On the ground she could activate her ability at the end of a dash or after landing from a jump.
Air Dash: When dashing in the air, she will activate her ability at the end of her dash and be given the ability to perform a second air dash. Like other characters, she can gain a short charge when landing from an air-dash, but since she can charge while in the air she isn't able to hold a charge when landing.
Playstyle
Twintelle's ability to slow down punches gives her the opportunity to close distances safely by neutralizing the opponent's pokes from a range, making her almost impossible to hit at times. When up close she can efficiently stay on top of her opponent, usually being able to react to almost anything they do, by slowing down time, and dodging.
She can easily create suffocating mix-up situations using her Actress Aura that are almost impossible for an opponent to escape, especially after being knocked down.
ARM Recommendations
Twintelle works well with Ice ARMS, that can heighten her wakeup pressure even further. This is done through the use of Ice chains, or refreezing your opponent over and over whenever they try to counter from being frozen, or just grabbing if they try to shield. (Mixups are the key). Some good choices are:
