The easiest way to get your ass beat in this game is to just start swinging your arms around like crazy. The movement, switch targets, consistently nailing targets, curving punches, learning that you have to keep moving, jumping, blocking, special attacks, three different weapon options for each ARM ... I mean there's *a lot* here. 

I'd say it's a bit harder than games like Smash or even Soul Calibur/Tekken were you can button mash and actually win now and again. 

ARMS, you really have to know what you're doing pretty much all the time, even the "simple" volleyball game is pretty hard, lol, it's not some easy bonus stage that you might expect. 

That's not a knock on the game, it's a good game, but people who see these commercials may be getting the impression that it's Wii Boxing ... it's nothing like Wii Boxing at all. 

That's the same for every game ever, button mashing gets you nowhere against good players. ARMS is actually easier to start playing than other fighters including Smash as it doesn't have combos and various different movesets that require different inputs, it's literally just punch.
