ARMS just got its 2.1 update that adds a variety of exercises to training mode as well as adjustments for Master Mummy, Mechanica, Kid Cobra, Byte & Barq, and a bunch of weapons.
Here’s a look at the patch notes from Nintendo:
- Moved “Training” to the top menu.
- Added five exercises to “Training”, and added difficulty level indications.
- Adjusted the way the rush gauge fills, decreasing the amount gained for punches that do not connect with the opponent.
- When 3-4 players start a battle, instructions on how to switch targets will now be displayed. A cursor will also be displayed above the current target for a set time.
- Adjusted hitbox sizes for fighters, improving issues where hits were not registered despite looking like hits.
- Changed the pause, results, and replay menus in “Training” to be more convenient.
- For “Best Stage” in Stats, made it harder for less frequently played stages to be selected, even if you have a high win ration on them.
- Corrected issue that caused the game to hang-up when the ending was skipped at a particular time.
The following adjustments are for fighters:
- Master Mummy – Increased dash speed. Increased movement speed when jumping.
