"Welcome to the Snake Park, where the 'speed demon,' Kid Cobra runs the show! He's a top snakeboard rider, an extreme sport that involves landing tricks on a spinning board. His signature quick step allows him to strike at his prey as fast as a snake!"
—Biff

Kid Cobra is a playable fighter in ARMS. He is a professional snakeboarder and live streamer.

Appearance

Kid Cobra's extendable ARMS have a scaly, snake-like appearance. His spiraled eyes are heterochromatic, with one being green, and the other 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.

Backstory

"A top snakeboarder turned ARMS fighter, this kid lives for the streets! All that boarding has really strengthened his legs, giving him a super-quick dash after charging up. He entered the Grand Prix to get more hits on his snakeboarding vids, but his natural instincts might just carry him all the way to the top!"
Official description


Kid Cobra is one of the few people who had his extendable ARMS since birth, occurring in only 1 in 100,000 people. Due to the fact that he always wears a mask and his race hasn't been confirmed yet, it makes Kid Cobra an interesting surveying target.[1]

Abilities

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)

Playstyle

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.

He excels at pressuring opponents with his speed, and his massive ARM girth, if he stays unpredictable.

ARM Recommendations

Kid Cobra works well with ARMS that take up a lot of space, and give him ways to force defensive options from his opponents. They allow him to capitalize on his high damage, speed and ARM girth. Some good choices are:

In Competitive Play
