Dr. Coyle is the director of the ARMS Labs and is known as a "once-in-a-generation genius" and is the youngest to rise to the top of the ARMS Lab. There are rumors saying that she has 52 doctorates and the inability to taste food.
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 also seems to have history with [[Max Brass]], apparently knowing him on a personal level. Despite this, Dr. Coyle later overpowered Max Brass in the [[Grand Prix]] so that she could take on the challenger instead.
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 ==  
== 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 weapons such as the [[Scorpio]] or [[Funchuk]] will always move out in the mode/form they are in when launched in 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 on wake up, make Dr. Coyle difficult to pin down. Her extra arm also gives her powerful poking, and rush-building capabilities.

Coyles 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.

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 third ARM. Some examples are:

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 "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. 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>
