Dear Reader:
Nintendo Treehouse Tumblr - Coach JC’s Ultimate ARMS Champ Summer Camp, Part 3: Skillshot
In Skillshot, your objective is to hit the targets that appear between you and your opponent faster than they do. Consecutively hitting targets nets you extra points, so throwing the correct arm at the correct time and angling its trajectory to nail two to three targets at once is a wayyy more effective means of increasing your score than throwing three quick, individual punches.
Unlike many other fighting games, ARMS places huge importance on controlling the space between you and your opponent even when you’re nowhere near them. That said, it’s no wonder that Skillshot would make for handy practice. The best Skillshot players are generally the ones who study how to make the most of the space between fighters, not only to hit targets, but to interrupt the fighter on the other end of the shooting range in one fell swoop as well.
