Nintendo recently dropped "Arms" 4.1 update following its major upgrade two weeks ago. Aside from the new features, it also brings a new playbale character that looks very quite familiar.

The Nintendo Switch game's players can now play a new fighter named Springton. He exactly looks like Spring Man, thus some fans think he is an imitation of him. In fact, they have the same set of arms.

With that, the items players have unlocked for the original character can also be used for the newly introduced fighter. As described by "Arms," Springton has the ability to release a shockwave that can ward off incoming punches.

This will happen if he breaks off the charge before it is even complete. However, once he completes the charge, it will release a major tremor that will also draw away the incoming punches.

Aside from that, "Arms" 4.1 update also brings balance changes to the game's characters. Misango's length of mobility when masking up is now reduced. Scorpio's curving and expansion rate of charge attacks is also now increased.

The waiting time for the weapon's scorpion jumping is now shortened, while its extension speed, the speed of charge, and flotation and homing during jump attacks are now decreased. Also, Skully's curving and homing are now expanded, while its flotation during jump attacks is reduced.

"Arms" 4.1 update also boosts Glusher's retraction speed and fixes the issue that makes it slow at times. Homie's rush damage, and Megaton and Whammer's retraction speeds are also increased.

Hydra's retraction speed and Clapback's speed of direction changes both decreased. Lastly, the issue involving Revolver Retorcher's freezing in midair is now solved.

"Arms" 4.1 update, too, comes with new badges that players have to unlock. Also, players can now choose their preferred language in system settings. The online game's issue is also now fixed, while the voices that can be heard in Ranked Match are now gone.
