My only issue with ARMS is that it is boring to watch. Yeah, when you are playing it is really fun, but when watching a streamer? Hell nah. It makes for boring content real quick.

It's not even that fun to play. The first global testpunch didn't exactly make me want to buy the game. It's good for an hour or two and then gets boring. Not enough variety for me.
