Lola Pop

Lola Pop is a playable fighter in ARMS, released in the Version 3.0.0 update on 2017-09-13. Her fighting style is based on her ability to inflate herself like a balloon.

Appearance
Lola Pop appears mostly human except for her spiraled irises, her candy-like ARMS and orange and red lollipop-style hair. She wears yellow oversized overalls with a stripe pattern on the left leg and a polka dot pattern on the right leg, a clown nose, a blue headband, purple ball-shaped earrings, a yellow mask that covers the top half of her face, a blue athletic shirt with her logo on it, and red sneakers shaped like oversized clown shoes. Inflated, she's as round as a ball, her legs seemingly non-existent.

Abilities
Lola Pop is able to inflate her body while shielding, which appears to "provide added defense" and allow her to slowly move around the stage while blocking. While inflated, she can immediately cancel into a fast dash or higher jump. She can also inflate in the air while holding dash, causing her to shield herself for a short moment before dropping quickly and bounce on the ground.

Trivia

 * Lola Pop was first teased by the official ARMS twitter account in August 2017. Her full reveal came with a trailer on August 22nd during Gamescom 2017.
 * She is the only character who has the ability to move while blocking.
 * She is one of two characters able to block in the air; the other being Dr. Coyle.
 * Her name is a play on "lollipop."
 * There is an implied rivalry between Biff and Lola, as they each have bakeries right next to each other, and one of her promotional art photos shows Biff glaring at her while she performs in front of her bakery. However, Lola appears to respect Biff, as his logo is used for her Biffler.
 * As coulrophobia (the fear of clowns) is effectively non-existent in Japan, the development team was surprised to receive negative feedback on Lola Pop's concept art from Nintendo of America, stating that some of the employees found her appearance to be a little scary. This amused Kosuke Yabuki, who felt that he "learned a weakness of Americans" after the exchange.
