ARMS Global Testpunch
From ARMS Institute, the ARMS Wiki
The ARMS Global Testpunch is a free online demo of ARMS that is scheduled to take place May 26 through June 4. It became available to download shortly after the ARMS Direct on May 17th, 2017.
Limitations
As the Testpunch serves as a demo, several restrictions are placed on players compared to the full game. The primary restrictions are that:
- Players cannot use Kid Cobra, Twintelle, or Byte & Barq. However, these characters are shown in attraction clips, and the North American eShop page implies that they can be used.
- The only available fighting stages are Spring Stadium, Ninja College, and DNA Lab. Ramen Bowl will be added for the second weekend.[1]
- The only usable playstyles are standard battles and either V-Ball, Hoops, or Skillshot[2], depending on the session.
- Neither local multiplayer, Grand Prix, Get ARMS, nor Ranked Online are available for usage.
- The game is only playable during twelve one-hour time slots.

Trivia
- 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.
