“From the remote region of Misanga, named for its eponymous deity, it's… Misango! His fighting style—enhanced by the spiritual woven entity at his side—has been passed down from generation to generation. According to a vague prophecy, Misango must enter the Grand Prix to prove that the Misangan fighting style is the greatest in the world!”

Misango is a downloadable fighter in ARMS. He is a Mayan inspired character. His home stage is Temple Grounds. He is a Misangan fighter that has a fighting style enhanced by a spirit entity that has been passed down generation by generation.

Misango's main draw is his mask ability that he gets from the spirit entity, which powers his attacks up.

Appearance

Misango takes inspiration from the real-world culture of the Mayans, wearing a gold headband and a blue shirt and shorts. His shirt is emblazoned with his sigil in a gold medallion. His arms appear to be made out from misanga bracelets.

Misango also has an unnamed spirit companion, which is also the inspiration to his emblem. This spirit resembles a woven bracelet as well, with a diamond-shaped mask.

Backstory

“Misango is a skilled fighter who is fiercely devoted to his homeland, and the power of the Misanga. During a fight, he channels that power with the help of the little woven sprite that hovers at his side. His reasons for competing in the Grand Prix are simple—to prove that the Misangan fighting technique is superior to all others...and to win!”

Fighting Style

Misango's main ability is fusing himself with the spirit entity. If Misango charges up for long enough or guards long enough, the spirit will turn into a pillar of light that allows them to fuse. This will result in a mask on Misango that powers up his abilities. There are three colors of mask, each offering a different type of power.

• Red makes Misango resistant to punches (like Master Mummy's super armor), increases ARM girth and general size, increases grab damage to 180, but decreases speed on the ground and in the air as well as overall jump performance.
• Blue increases Misango's mobility both in the air and on the ground, but decreases ARM girth and grab damage to 150.
• Yellow fills the Rush Meter at a faster rate, and blocks punches automatically when activating a Rush Attack, but decreases movement speed and decreases grab damage to 150.

The spirit also acts as a shield if Misango guards for long enough. Misango can also change/remove the current mask he wears if he charges fully again, guards for long enough that the spirit becomes a shield in front of him, or gets knocked down.
