Also to note, Nintendo has recently unveiled the second free DLC character for Arms - the street-performing candy-themed clown, Lola Pop. Lola's hair and arms resemble candy and her abilities include inflating her body to increase her defense. She also appears in the game with three brand new sets of Arms; one is a shield that is able to reflect opponents' attacks back at them, while another fires a trio of stamps that obstruct your opponent's vision.

Although the date for Lola to appear in the Nintendo fighting game has not been disclosed yet by the Japanese gaming company, however, it has been confirmed that this new character will be rolling out to all Arms players via a "future update." This upcoming update into the game will also add a new free stage, which is likewise candy-themed.
