Origin
Spring Man is one of the playable fighters in ARMS. He was one of the first characters revealed for the game and is its mascot. As his name implies, his design is themed around springs, such as his ARMS being extendable springs and his stadium. Spring Man is the newest contestant to join the ARMS Grand Prix, which he dreams to be the champion of. In the ARMS world, this Spring Man is the third fighter to earn the title in sponsorship with the Spring Gym, and his eldest predecessor appears in the graphic novel series.
The Toaster ARM is a basic ARM in ARMS, and is one of Spring Man's default ARMS. It functions as a standard boxing glove, but gains Fire properties when charged.
Rush is a mechanic in ARMS which allows a fighter to unleash rapid punches to deal large amounts of damage. In order to use a Rush, a fighter must first fill their Rush Gauge, which can be done through various means, primarily by dealing damage.
