The character shows off her moves in a new gameplay trailer including her hard-hitting arsenal which consists of a fire-breathing arm named Lockjaw, a gem made out of an umbrella with infrared sensors named Parabola and a nunchuk that freezes its surroundings named Brrchuk.

"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!" reads Dr. Coyle's character description from the official Arms website."

The trailer also showcases a new stage coming to Arms through the new update which brings to game to version 5.0 . The stage tilted "[Name Redacted], features a conveyor belt in the middle with descending green punching bags.
