Kid Cobra

Kid Cobra is a playable fighter in ARMS. He is a professional snakeboarder and live streamer.

Appearance
Kid Cobra's extendable ARMS have a scaly, snake-like appearance. His spiraled eyes are heterochromatic, with one being green, and the other purple. He wears a helmet shaped like the head and hood of a cobra, his skin-tight shirt looks scaly, and his baggy pants bear a design made up of many stylized snakes. The treads of his sneakers also look like snakeskin.

Backstory
Kid Cobra is one of the few people who had his extendable ARMS since birth, occurring in only 1 in 100,000 people. Due to the fact that he always wears a mask and his race hasn't been confirmed yet, it makes Kid Cobra an interesting surveying target.

Abilities
Kid Cobra has one of the slowest dashes when uncharged but his jump is the highest. When dashing towards an opponent on the ground while charged, he can perform consecutive dashes while ducking under all incoming attacks. In addition, all dashes, midair or grounded, are quicker and provide more distance. The longer he's been charged, the more consecutive dashes can be performed, up to four. When attacking during a charged dash, all ARMS that change attack pattern will attack as if they were in midair (i.e. Scorpio and Funchuk)

Playstyle
Kid Cobra's main advantage is his mobility especially when charged, and with his quick short hop means he can  get charged much more easily than most! His massive jump distance, charged dash speed and continuous movement with his dashes, while being able to slide under punches mean he can get to close range and pressure, or escape and retreat with a frightening level of quickness.

He excels at pressuring opponents with his speed, and his massive ARM girth, if he stays unpredictable.

ARM Recommendations
Kid Cobra works well with ARMS that take up a lot of space, and give him ways to force defensive options from his opponents. They allow him to capitalize on his high damage, speed and ARM girth. Some good choices are:
