Fighters can jump and dodge attacks. As a player, you can also give your strokes an effect by turning your hands while striking. Fighters can attach a different type of ARM to each hand. These ARMS range from regular boxing gloves to weapons with special effects such as boomerangs. In addition, every ARM has a special feature, such as fire, ice or electricity, that you can activate by charging your shocks. ![video](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/L9j85GEjqKw/maxresdefault.jpg)Please enable JavaScriptplay-rounded-fill 23:17 [Link](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/en/releases/nintendo-switch/arms/) In the course of the game, players can earn money with which they can get new ARMS for their fighters in ARMS plaza.
