Byte and Barq are a pair of beach | Byte and Barq are a pair of beach patrol robots for Buster Beach. According to the Gallery on ARMS Lab Confidential 13's text, pairs would normally not be allowed to compete in the Grand Prix, but they were able to participate because, during the inspection, they showed up in their combined form with Barq pretending to be Byte's head. Even among "second generation" fighters, Byte and Barq were unique, and even after they were found out to be a pair they were still able to compete due to their popularity. | ||

The intended playstyle of Byte & Barq heavily revolves around negating Byte's mediocre stats by strategically utilizing Barq. Byte is somewhat slow, is considerably tall, and has an unorthodox dash, leaving him somewhat vulnerable on his own. Barq is AI controlled and can attack and move, enabling him to extend combos or take hits for Byte. Using a [[Rush]] will instantly revive Barq and merge him with Byte, removing the former from the playing field but instantly reviving him if he is knocked out. In addition, Byte's air game is greatly bolstered by Barq, who can be jumped on through several different approaches and behaves like a spring. Barq can be knocked out for five seconds at a time | The intended playstyle of Byte & Barq heavily revolves around negating Byte's mediocre stats by strategically utilizing Barq.

Barq's ARM resembles the [[Toaster]]. It does 30 damage uncharged, and while charged it does 60 and inflicts [[Fire]] damage. Barq's punches are based on a timer. This timer will only be active if Byte is not blocking, dashing, or jumping. Barq will throw a punch every five seconds if Byte does not attack. If Byte performs a punch, Barq will throw one a second later as long as no other action is being performed. After this punch, the timer resumes its five second cycle. If Byte's ARMS are charged, Barq's ARM will also be charged, and he will punch at the same time. If the punch timer is not active while Byte is knocked down, Barq will immediately punch along with Byte after he gets up.<ref>Jay Nite.

== Playstyle == | |||
The Dog and Cop Duo are challenging to push their max potential, but specialize in redirecting focus, and capitalizing. Barq by himself can provide slight support for with his punches, and can give an elevation advantage through Byte jumping on his head. He can also provide Byte with some mixups and extra pressure with his occasional punches. | |||
However, he really shines by acting as a mobile, one-hit shield. If an opponent tries to take out Barq, Byte can capitalize on their lapse in concentration and punish, whether up close, or at range. | |||
===ARM Recommendations=== | |||
This duo works well with ARMS that can harass and interrupt the opponents movement at range, or provide lots of pressure up close. This complements both of their strengths in ranged play, and close pressure. Some examples include: | |||
