Description

Appearance

The Blorb appears as a large blue gel-like sphere held in place by straps attached to the wrist. There's an LCD screen in front of the blorb constantly displaying a expanding circle pattern.

Function

"Big, bouncy, bulbous blobs of unknown origin. The latest research suggests that they're very sticky and have a fantastic fruit-like flavor."

—Official Description

• A round massive ARM which will fire off in a significant arc and bounces off the floor and walls. This arc will also affect the trajectory of grabs.
• Fighters hit a charged Blorb will be temporarily blinded by blue slime.
• A Rush fires off the weapon normally, dealing multiple hits; weight class of the projectiles is increased to Super Heavy for the duration of the attack.

Note: All frame data shown is tested using Spring Man.

Note: All frame data shown are from punches/grabs that do not contact the opponent and are started at the maximum range possible.

Note: All frame data is used consisting of the ARMS weapon being in both hands.
