{{BiffQuoteIntro|What we're about to witness is the biggest, baddest brain ARMS Labs has ever produced—{{Yellow|Dr. Coyle}}! ARMS is more than just a pet project for her—it's a full-on obsession, people! For years, Dr. Coyle has gone to extreme lengths to develop state-of-the-art ARMS weaponry. And, in some cases, she has even experimented on herself in the name of technological advancement… If that doesn't win her Employee of the Month, nothing will.}}
'''Dr. Coyle''' is a playable fighter and the secondary antagonist in ''[[ARMS]]''. She was released in [[Version 5.0.0]] on December 22nd, 2017.


== Appearance ==
Dr. Coyle is a scientist wearing a large metallic suit, with her design being electricity-based. Her [[ARMS (extendable)|ARMS]] are made of copper with coils rotating around them, referencing the concept of electromagnetic induction. She has green eyes, green hair which covers her right eye, yellow eyebrows and eyelashes, purple lipstick, and a purple mask. Her outfit consists of a black and green suit with a green top with her logo on it, a black high collar, a zipper and a belt, and grey tights, as well as matching black and green stiletto boots with green soles, and  black fingerless gloves with studs and her logo on them, as well as green painted nails. Other outfits include a turtle neck shirt with a skeleton pin near the top along with a lab coat and glasses, and a dress-like lab coat with a black pantyhose and green high heels with black soles.
== Backstory ==
{{FlavorText|She's the director of [[ARMS Laboratories]], and a certified genius. Fascinated with ARMS since she was a young girl, Dr. Coyle decided early on to devote her entire life to ARMS research. Her plans for this research are not necessarily nefarious... She simply wants to be the most powerful ARMS fighter of all time...even if that means subjecting herself to her own experiments. But all her pain and hard work will be worth it if she wins the ARMS Grand Prix!|[https://arms.nintendo.com/fighters/dr-coyle/ Official description]}}
Dr. Coyle is the director of ARMS Labs and is known as a "once-in-a-generation genius". She is the youngest to rise to the top of ARMS Labs. There are rumors saying that she has 52 doctorates and the inability to taste food, although the latter is unlikely given the fact that she participated in taste-testing and recipe development in a cafe run by ARMS Labs. However, given that same cafe is incredibly unsuccessful she might indeed be lacking in taste.
She seems to have history with [[Max Brass]], apparently knowing him on a personal level, although she now holds a grudge against him and seeks revenge for "things he said" to her. Dr. Coyle later overpowered Max Brass in the [[Grand Prix]] so that she could take on the challenger instead. Dr. Coyle is credited as being the creator (or at least being the head scientist as well as one of the creators) of [[Helix]], [[Springtron]] and [[Hedlok]] (which she referred to as her "masterpiece"), as well as seemingly being responsible for [[Master Mummy]]'s reanimation.
== Abilities ==
Uniquely, Dr. Coyle does not have a [[jump]]. Instead, she levitates at all times and is able to increase her height with the jump button. This permits her to dash and guard at any height. She will be registered as being on the "ground" at any altitude; because of this, some ARMS such as the [[Scorpio]] or [[Funchuk]] will always move out in the mode/form they are in when launched on the ground. In addition, she can briefly activate an additional ARM by charging for a long period of time. The ARM appears on a random shoulder of Dr. Coyle and matches the ARM immediately below it. Furthermore, she can temporarily disappear while moving freely, an ability activated by holding guard or getting up after being knocked down.
Dr. Coyle is however much more vulnerable to debilitating effects such as [[Electric]] and [[Ice]] as she will always react to them as if she were grounded.
== Playstyle ==
Her ability to fly and shield at anytime, as well as having invisibility and reduced vulnerability when getting up, make Dr. Coyle difficult to pin down. Her extra arm also gives her powerful poking and rush-building capabilities.
Dr. Coyle's playstyle centers around using her third arm to harass at range until she gains an advantage. She can then use her inherent height advantage and smooth movement to smother opponents with pressure, while avoiding being cornered herself.
===ARM Recommendations===
Reliable ARMS that create strong pressure without sacrificing Dr. Coyle's mobility work well with her. They complement her two biggest strengths, which are her flight and her third ARM. Some examples are:

==In Competitive Play==
Since her release in December 2017, Dr. Coyle has been universally considered to be the best character in the game. This is been backed up by the results of players of [[AstroNinja0]] and [[Shateau]].
===Notable players===
*[[AstroNinja0]] - The best player in North America and the best Dr. Coyle player in the world. 1st place at [[2GG: SwitchFest 2019]], [[ARMS North American Online Open (April 2020)]], [[Polaris Punchout]] and many more events.
*[[Shateau]] - One of the best players in Japan and the best Dr. Coyle player in Japan. 1st place at [[Official Competitive Events|ARMS Japan Grand Prix 2018 Finals]], [[KVOxTSB 2019]] and [[Smash'N'Splash 5]].
*Dastardly - One of the best players in North America and the second-best Dr. Coyle player in North America. 3rd place at [[Smash Out 2018]] and [[Bamboo Battles: Hibernation Arc]], 9th at [[ARMS North American Online Open (April 2020)]].
*Alistair - The best active Dr. Coyle main in Europe. 3rd place at Casual Clash 24 and EU ARMS Challenge #51.
*[[Grimwood]] - One of the best players in Europe, has a solid Dr. Coyle secondary. 1st place at EU ARMS Challenge #52 with mostly Dr. Coyle.
*HedgieMcHogerson - One of the best Dr. Coyle players in North America. 3rd place at [[ARMS Comeback Series]].
==In [[Grand Prix]]==
{{Spoiler|
{{BiffQuoteIntro|The commish was knocked out cold! Who would…? Wait a minute! I'd know that face anywhere. <br>It's "the rad scientist," {{Yellow|Dr. Coyle}}!<br> The head of ARMS Labs and their top researcher, she's also a sponsor of this very tournament!}}
As of the [[Version 5.0.0]] update, '''Dr. Coyle''' is the true final boss of [[Grand Prix]] mode. When fought at Level 6 or higher as one of the 14 fighters other than Dr. Coyle herself, she will appear and knock [[Max Brass]] out, and the player will fight her instead. She summons [[Hedlok]] for another battle after the player defeats her. The Hedlok battle goes as normal. After she is defeated twice, Hedlok will deactivate. Dr. Coyle then takes off Hedlok, calls him "Useless!", and destroys him. Dr. Coyle says "God I could've won" in frustration, then disappears, and Max Brass returns and flexes his muscles like in the ending for a lower difficulty, and the Awards Ceremony proceeds normally.
Similarly to how [[Springtron]] and [[Max Brass]] appear in Grand Prix, Dr. Coyle is significantly stronger as a boss than she is as a playable fighter. She gains an additional ARM on each side instead of just one. By attacking with four ARMS, she is able to attack every half second, rather than a full second like she does in normal gameplay.}}<br clear=left>

==Trivia==
*She is the oldest known female fighter, at 48 years old. The second oldest is [[Twintelle]] at 26.
*Her name is a play on "coil," which her ARMS are made of.
*She didn't gain her ARMS naturally, but instead experimented on herself to gain the ARMS ability and succeeded. Interestingly, Dr. Coyle's irises are spiraled like those who naturally obtained them, implying that she gained the true ARMS ability through this method.
*She's the only ARMS fighter to have unique dialogue when fighting other ARMS characters.
*Her victory quote after defeating [[Kid Cobra]] implies she has a dislike or fear of snakes.
*Dr. Coyle's information on her official profile is encoded, likely to tie into her theme as a mysterious, suspicious scientist.
*She is the only fighter who does not have a full body character render. Hers only goes down to her chest.
*Unlike [[Max Brass]] who does fight himself at the end of Grand Prix, Dr. Coyle is incapable of fighting herself in Grand Prix Level 6 or 7, instead the final opponent will remain Max Brass.
*She is likely the one holding the photo of Springtron in his Grand Prix ending photo as her nails have the same pattern as her grab attack.
*She can, in many respects, be seen as the opposite to Mechanica.
**Both are technically minded women who engineer themselves the ability to use ARMS.
**Mechanica is the youngest female fighter, utilizing a fighter suit made of scrapyard technology. Dr. Coyle is the oldest female fighter, using advanced technology to grant herself the ARMS ability.
**They are both admirers of ARMS, although Dr. Coyle's investment borders on obsession.
**Mechanica is a fan of [[Ribbon Girl]]. Conversely, Dr. Coyle has a low opinion of Ribbon Girl, as she believes her pop singer occupation is a waste of time that would be better spent honing her ARMS talents.
*She is most likely the one who reportedly stole blueprints from [[Mechanica]] to create Springtron.
{{Spoiler|
*She may have had a relationship with [[Max Brass]] in the past, due to the following description of him in her journal: "The things he said to me... I can NEVER forgive. His day of reckoning will come. Oh, it will come." This is further evidenced by her Grand Prix ending picture, which depicts a torn photograph of the two of them working together on an invention.}}
