Splatoon and ARMS are different. Splatoon worked because it appealed to a market that most first/third person shooters ignored. The trend is violent, gritty military shooters. Splatoon is a game about painting term and squids who love fashion. Its weird and colorful, so it fit Japan's taste better.

You have to compare ARMS to fighting games. Most fighting games are overly complicated and lack any modes besides ranked. ARMS has a very simple concept and plenty of modes. That will be the key to its success.

Actually when you phrase it like that, they don't seem all that different either, haha. They're both kinda doing the same thing.

Yep, they are both Blue Ocean games. Both are targeting new markets.  I wrote about it here: https://www.videogameaccountant.com/2017/05/21/nintendos-blue-ocean-games/ (and yeah its a shameless plug, but seems relevant enough to this conversation)
