ARMS (equipment)

''This article is about the glove-like weapons. For other users, see ARMS (disambiguation).''

ARMS are weapons worn on a fighter's extendable limbs (also known as ARMS), in the same way a boxer wears gloves. There are many different ARMS available to fighters; a fighter may have two different ARMS equipped at once and may switch ARMS between rounds of a match.

ARMS belong to one of at least five different types and possess one of at least seven different attributes.

Types
(Note: these names are not official.)
 * Curve type ARMS fly in an arc from their starting position before returning, much like a real-life boomerang.
 * Glove type ARMS function like basic boxing gloves.
 * Heavy type ARMS work similarly to Glove type ARMS, however they are bigger, heavier, and do more damage. They can also be used to block enemy attacks.
 * Multi-Shot type ARMS fire many small projectiles at once, and are therefore harder to evade than other types.
 * Whip type ARMS expand in midair and do lots of knockback damage.

Acquiring ARMS
