The title screen of the Global Testpunch
The ARMS Global Testpunch is a free online demo of ARMS that took place May 26 through June 4. It became available to download shortly after the ARMS Direct on 2017-05-17.
As the Testpunch served as a demo, several restrictions were placed on players compared to the full game. The primary restrictions were:
The first weekend, players could not use Kid Cobra, Twintelle, or Byte & Barq. However, all characters are shown in attraction clips. Twintelle will be playable during the second weekend[1]
Beyond regular battles, the only other Versus mode in the first weekend was V-Ball. This was replaced with Hoops, Skillshot, and Vs. Hedlok. in the second weekend.[3],
Neither local multiplayer, Grand Prix, Get ARMS, nor Ranked Online were available for usage.
The game was only playable during twelve one-hour time slots.
Staying on the title screen without pressing anything will eventually play small attraction clips of gameplay. This works even outside of the scheduled play times.
