The first character introduced is the blue-haired fighter called Spring Man, who is distinguished by his special ability to repel his opponent's attacks. Spring Man also has the capability of maintaining the power of his punches even with a low health level.
Next up is Ribbon Girl called "Pop Star of the Ring." What sets her apart is her ability to jump twice even at midair, giving her an advantage when avoiding powerful attacks from her opponents.
On the other hand, the third character, Ninjara, possesses stealth abilities, which with the help of his Air-Dash that gives out a smokescreen, makes him almost impossible to find.
The fourth character introduced is called the Master Mummy. As expected, his appearance includes having bandages all over him. Having a big, sturdy body makes it easy for him to get near his opponents. And when his health level goes down, all he has to do is guard himself and it will automatically recharge his body.
Lastly, "ARMS" will introduce Mechanica, who is dubbed as the "Heavyweight Rocker Girl." Her yellow, steel body is without a doubt a great defensive piece of equipment. She is the best opponent for Ribbon Girl as she can also make an attack in midair.
Weapons
Players will get the chance to play with the Toaster. This fighting weapon automatically recharges while the character guards himself. Once charged enough, it produces fire to light up the enemy upon punching them.
The second weapon, Megaton, has its pros and cons. It is heavy so it moves slower than the other options. However, it lands a perfectly strong punch. Upon recharging, the Megaton expands in size and will not mind a punch.
If the Toaster produces fire, Sparky acquires electricity upon recharging that will definitely shock any character who will experience its punches. Another weapon is called the Boomerang which blows up enemies with small tornados once charged. It is also a perfect weapon to use in stage obstacles.
The Revolver weapon has the ability to land three shots in just a single punch. "ARMS" will also introduce the Slapamander that works like a whip "with a wide arc." It catches fire once recharged that lights up the enemy upon punch.
What is most interesting about these weapons is the option to mix and match them according to the players' desire.
