Min Min (ミェンミェン, Min Min) is a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as the seventh downloadable fighter and the first as part of Fighters Pass Vol. 2. An ARMS character was announced to be playable as part of Challenger Pack 6 on March 26th, 2020 during a Nintendo Direct Mini. However, it was not revealed that it would be Min Min until June 22nd, 2020 during a Mr. Sakurai Presents. Min Min will be released on June 29th, 2020, and is classified as Fighter #76.

Haruna Takatsu reprises her role as Min Min in all regions with new voice clips.

Attributes

  • True to the nature of ARMS, Min Min has a very long reach with her extendable ARMS. However, it also makes her moves have quite a bit of lag and weaker overall in close-range combat.
  • Min Min's left Dragon can become stronger, indicated by its larger appearance and flames exerting from it. The circumstances at which this occurs are currently unknown, but it is possible that it happens after Min Min throws an opponent.
  • The attack and special buttons are designated to her left and right ARMS respectively, allowing her to alternate between ARMS. Attacking with the A + B buttons will have Min Min attack with both ARMS at once.
  • Down special allows Min Min to change out her right ARM (being identical to her standard ARMS in ARMS), each of which have a different effect on her ARM-based moves:
    • Ramram fires a curving projectile that covers a wider attack range at the cost of power. Angling it changes its trajectory slightly.
    • Megawatt is slightly slower and has a shorter reach, though makes up for it in power.
    • Dragon can be held down to fire a short-ranged laser beam. This is also her left ARM at all times.

Moveset

  • Min Min's neutral and directional attacks are all a straight punch with one of her ARMS. She can move around and jump while performing said attacks. She can also punch behind herself when alternating.
    • Neutral attack, forward tilt, forward smash, forward aerial, and back aerial all utilize her left ARM, which is always the Dragon. Her forward smash is slightly stronger and has more range.
    • Neutral special and side special function identically, though they utilize her right ARM, which can be swapped.
  • Neutral aerial - rotates her right ARM in a downward circular motion. The speed and power changes based on her ARM. The A + B buttons allow Min Min to alternate between her left and right ARMS, however they cannot both attack at once.
  • Some of Min Min's attacks incorporate kicks, which do not follow the rules of her ARM-based attacks:
    • Neutral attack (tapped) - The Kung Fu Combo: a quick hook kick, followed by a leg sweep, followed by a rapid series of kicks.
    • Dash attack - a jumping kick, similar to Wolf.
    • Up tilt - a quick wheel kick.
    • Down tilt - a sliding kick, similar to Cloud.
    • Up smash - a somersault kick that can reflect projectiles. Based on her ability to deflect attacks with a kick in ARMS.
    • Down smash - a split kick, similar to Sonic.
    • Up aerial - a flip kick, similar to Terry.
    • Down aerial - a dive kick.
  • Up special - ARMS Jump / ARM Hook: on the ground, Min Min boosts herself into the air with her ARMS; it can be charged to increase her height. In the air, she uses her left Dragon ARM as a tether recovery.
  • Down special - ARMS Change: changes her right hand to three different weapons from ARMS: Dragon, Ramram, and Megawatt.

Victory poses

  • Min Min does a high kick before assuming a defensive stance. This is based on the animation that plays after Min Min wins a round in ARMS.

Role in World of Light

Due to her status as downloadable content, Min Min does not have a legitimate role in World of Light. Instead, she is unlocked for use in the mode after freeing 10 fighters from Galeem's control. If loading an existing save file that meets this condition prior to downloading Min Min, she is immediately unlocked.

Spirits

The Min Min Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins, but only after she has been downloaded. Unlocking her in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "Min Min".

Additionally, Min Min has an Attack-type Primary Spirit as part of Ultimate's base game.

Trivia

  • Min Min is the fourth fighter to have appeared in the base game in a non-playable capacity before eventually becoming a downloable fighter, after both Mewtwo and Lucas in Smash 4, and Piranha Plant in Ultimate.
    • Of the four, she is the the only one to have been a spirit beforehand.
  • Min Min is the first DLC newcomer in any Smash game that came from a new first-party series; Corrin, Byleth, and Piranha Plant were from preexisting series.
  • Min Min is the first solo DLC fighter in Ultimate to be female by default, and the second DLC newcomer in the series overall, with the first being Bayonetta.
  • According to series director Masahiro Sakurai, Min Min was selected as the ARMS representative by special request of Kosuke Yabuki, the producer of ARMS. Prior to this, both Min Min and Ninjara were in consideration for the spot.
  • Before the release of Ultimate, Sakurai considered adding characters from ARMS, but according to him, no character could be added in the base game due to the character planning ending before ARMS was announced.
  • Min Min is the first newcomer to have their series revealed, but not the character until a later date.
  • Min Min is the second DLC fighter to originate on the Nintendo Switch, with the first being Byleth.
    • However, if counting Fire Emblem Heroes, a mobile game, as Byleth's debut, then Min Min is the only DLC fighter to originate on the Switch.
  • Min Min is the first DLC fighter to have a spirit in the base game.
  • Min Min is the 4th DLC fighter to have a tether recovery.
  • Min Min is the sixth fighter to receive an invitation letter in her reveal trailer, following Villager, Isabelle, Joker, Terry, and Byleth.
