Biff is back on Twitter, reporting on this weekend’s Global Testpunch and what’s in store for the next event this weekend. Here’s the latest news:
B-ball time
If you’re feeling a bit burned by ARMS’ V-ball battle mode, then you’re in luck! Next weekend’s sessions will bring Hoops into the rotation. The first player to ten points will win the match — or, if the timer runs out before someone acquires ten points, the player who earns the highest score will walk away the winner. Standard basketball rules apply. More specifically, the rules including two point or three point shots should be followed. (Grabbing your opponent and slam dunking them into the basket would earn you a foul, at the very least, in real life.)

Skillshot’s debut
Still wanting something else to try? Skillshot will be debuting as well. Think you can take out your opponent while smashing all the targets?

Fan favorites
Curious about who the two top fighters were this past weekend? Ninjara and Min Min were the fan favorites. Let’s see if they can hold their positions for round two. Or will Min Min usurp Ninjara? Let the countdown for the next Testpunch begin!
ARMS協会が分析した結果、「ウデだめし前半戦」で特に人気のあった2人が判明しました！第1位がニンジャラ、僅差で2位にミェンミェン、という結果でした！パチパチ～
ただARMS協会によると、勝率1位は他に譲ったようです…続報をまて！ pic.twitter.com/PJ0bg01O1I— ARMS協会広報アカウント コブッター (@ARMS_Cobutter) May 29, 2017
Feel the love
Don’t feel too bad for Spring Man if he’s your number one guy — he’s the next fighter to receive the official artwork treatment! It looks like he had a busy weekend… and now we know what ARMS fighters look like outside of battle!
のびーるウデだめし、おつかれさまでした！いい汗かきましたか？
来週は一部ルールを変更して開催します！お楽しみに～

Check out two modes
From the Nintendo of America side, a new 30 second trailer/commercial is up on YouTube this morning. Split screen versus and table top mode are shown off while potential Easter eggs are hidden in this garage setting. I’ll take the KO light/statue and the official ARMS punching bag in the background there Nintendo, thank you very much.
Spot anything in Nintendo’s latest trailer? Looking forward to this weekend’s Global Testpunch? We’d love to hear what you think of the demo so far!
