== Appearance ==
==Appearance==
Kid Cobra's extendable [[ARMS (extendable)|ARMS]] have a scaly, snake-like appearance. His spiraled eyes are heterochromatic, the right eye being green, and the left one 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. He is not seen wearing other clothing very much, however, in official artwork he is seen wearing traditional Japanese clothing along with [[Min Min]] and [[Ninjara]]. His specifically are a white turtleneck, throwing on a small black jacket on top. He is also seen wearing fingerless, black gloves. His purple pants and shoes remain the same. In the final work of art, he is seen wearing a purple and black tuxedo. He wears a long-sleeved, buttoned purple shirt with a black, duke-like tuxedo jacket on top that is sleeveless and buttoned. He wears black pants and black boots. A black belt and bow-tie are also thrown on to match the outfit.

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 five. 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]])

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 means he can get to close range and pressure, or escape and retreat with a frightening level of quickness.
