Min Min is one of fifteen fighters from the [[Nintendo Switch]] title ''{{s|armsinstitute|ARMS|game}}''. She is one of a select few people in the world to be born with a gene causing {{s|armsinstitute|ARMS|extendable}}, a phenomenon where the person's arms (or, in some cases, other body parts) turn into long, stretchy material. In Min Min's case, her ARMS seem to be made of ramen noodles, due to her family operating the famed Mintendo Noodle House. Her left arm can also transform into a dragon arm when fully charged, keeping the ARM equipped to it charged and increasing its power until she gets knocked down. In addition to her ARMS, she also kicks, which enables her to deflect opponents' punches. Min Min competes in the {{s|armsinstitute|ARMS League}} to promote her family's restaurant.
Min Min is one of the 15 fighters from the [[Nintendo Switch]] fighting game ''{{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS|game}}''. She is one of a select few people in the world to be born with a gene that grants {{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS|extendable}}, a phenomenon where the person's arms (or, in rare cases, other body parts) transmute into extendable helixes. In Min Min's case, her ARMS heavily resemble ramen noodles, fittingly in reference to her family operating the Mintendo Noodle House.
 
Unlike the other fighters, Min Min's left ARM can transform into a dragon ARM (regardless of whatever type of ARM is equipped) when her ARMS are fully {{iw|armsinstitute|charge}}d for longer than usual, or upon successfully [[armsinstitute:Grab|throwing]] an opponent. This effect increases that ARM's size significantly and causes it to remain charged indefinitely. However, this effect can be deactivated if Min Min is hit with a charged punch, knocked down, or if her left ARM is disabled. In addition to her ARMS, Min Min is a talented martial artist, and utilizes kicks that enable her to deflect an opponent's punches.
 
Min Min participates in the {{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS League}} {{iw|armsinstitute|Grand Prix}} with the goal of winning the championship in order to promote her family's restaurant. Her Grand Prix ending depicts her serving ramen to many people wearing replicas of her hat, including {{iw|armsinstitute|Biff}}, indicating that the publicity stunt was a success.

In addition to their extendable {{s|armsinstitute|ARMS|extendable}}, all fighters in the ARMS League have equipment also referred to as {{s|armsinstitute|ARMS|equipment}}, which replace their fists and serve as their primary weapons.

An {{uv|ARMS}} representative was announced to be added as [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|DLC]] on March 26th, 2020, but it was not until June 22nd that this character was confirmed to be Min Min. Her extendable ARMS give her a unique control scheme and play-style that encourages playing on the ground from a distance but is at a disadvantage in the air and in close range. She will be released as part of Challenger Pack 6 on June 29th, 2020.
Prior to ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''{{'}}s launch, playable fighters from ''ARMS'' and ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles (universe)|Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]'' were considered for inclusion in the base roster. However, these potential fighters were passed over because their respective games had been announced long after planning and production of ''Ultimate'' began.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1087124601807691776 @PushDustIn: "Xenoblade 2 and ARMs characters just had bad timing for the project plan."]</ref> A little over a year following ''Ultimate''{{'}}s launch, a [[Nintendo Direct]] Mini on March 26, 2020 announced an {{uv|ARMS}} fighter as the first [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|DLC]] character of {{h2|Downloadable content (SSBU)|Fighters Pass Vol. 2}}.

On June 22nd, an installment of ''[[Mr. Sakurai Presents]]'' was released and ultimately revealed that Min Min was the playable ''ARMS'' fighter, and that she would be released on June 29th. According to [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'']] series creator and director [[Masahiro Sakurai]], he narrowed down the choices to Min Min and [[Ninjara]], but ultimately chose the former following a request from {{iw|armsinstitute|Kosuke Yabuki}}, the producer of ''ARMS''.<ref name=MinMinReveal>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_NNyXaBW-I Super Smash Bros.

Prior to the game's launch, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] considered adding characters from recent Nintendo titles such as ''ARMS'' and ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles (universe)|Xenoblade Chronicles 2]]'' in the base roster, but he was unable to do so because they were announced long after planning and production of ''Ultimate'' began. When it came time to develop a second wave of downloadable content for the game, Sakurai considered Min Min and [[Ninjara]] as possible candidates and, following a request from ''ARMS'' producer {{s|armsinstitute|Kosuke Yabuki}}, the position went to Min Min.
Min Min's ARMS give her a unique control scheme: the [[A button]] and [[B button]] control her left and right ARMS, respectively; by extension, they result in her special moveset technically consisting of only an up special move ([[ARMS Jump / ARM Hook]]) and a down special move ([[ARMS Change]]). Min Min wields her standard ARMS ({{iw|armsinstitute|Ramram}}, {{iw|armsinstitute|Megawatt}}, and {{iw|armsinstitute|Dragon}}), which she can freely cycle between via ARMS Change.

Min Min uses a female {{SSBU|Corrin}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[New Pork City]] stage's [[Ω form]].

Also, Corrin's attack power increases when she reaches high damage.

Min Min (ミェンミェン, MinMin) is a character from the 3D fighting game ARMS. After making a cameo as a spirit in the base version of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Min Min later became a playable character in Ultimate as the first character of Fighters Pass Vol. 2.

Origin[edit]

Min Min fighting against Ninjara on the Ramen Bowl in ARMS.

Min Min is one of the 15 fighters from the Nintendo Switch fighting game ARMS. She is one of a select few people in the world to be born with a gene that grants ARMS, a phenomenon where the person's arms (or, in rare cases, other body parts) transmute into extendable helixes. In Min Min's case, her ARMS heavily resemble ramen noodles, fittingly in reference to her family operating the Mintendo Noodle House.

Unlike the other fighters, Min Min's left ARM can transform into a dragon ARM (regardless of whatever type of ARM is equipped) when her ARMS are fully charged for longer than usual, or upon successfully throwing an opponent. This effect increases that ARM's size significantly and causes it to remain charged indefinitely. However, this effect can be deactivated if Min Min is hit with a charged punch, knocked down, or if her left ARM is disabled. In addition to her ARMS, Min Min is a talented martial artist, and utilizes kicks that enable her to deflect an opponent's punches.

Min Min participates in the ARMS League Grand Prix with the goal of winning the championship in order to promote her family's restaurant. Her Grand Prix ending depicts her serving ramen to many people wearing replicas of her hat, including Biff, indicating that the publicity stunt was a success.

Standard ARMS[edit]

In addition to their extendable ARMS, all of the fighters in the ARMS League have equipment also referred to as ARMS, which are worn over their fists and serve as their primary weapons. Different ARMS have different types (referring to how they act when used to punch), attributes (usually an elemental effect inflicted on any opponents hit when the ARM is charged), and weight classes (determining what will happen if two ARMS collide; heavier ARMS will beat out lighter ones, while ARMS of equal weight will cancel each other out). Each fighter comes with three standard ARMS, although all ARMS can be unlocked for all fighters via the ARM Getter. Min Min uses her standard ARMS in Super Smash Bros., which are as follows:

  • The Ramram (ホットリング, Hot Ring) is a medium-weight Curve-type and has the Fire attribute.
  • The Megawatt (メガボルト, Megavolt) is a heavy-weight Heavy-type and has the Electric attribute.
  • The Dragon (ドラゴン, Dragon) is a medium-weight Beam-type and has the Fire attribute.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Main article: Min Min (SSBU)
Min Min, as she appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Prior to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's launch, playable fighters from ARMS and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 were considered for inclusion in the base roster. However, these potential fighters were passed over because their respective games had been announced long after planning and production of Ultimate began.[2] A little over a year following Ultimate's launch, a Nintendo Direct Mini on March 26, 2020 announced an ARMS fighter as the first DLC character of Fighters Pass Vol. 2. Although the entire playable cast of ARMS was shown in the Direct, the identity of the playable fighter would not be revealed until their release in June.[3]

On June 22nd, an installment of Mr. Sakurai Presents was released and ultimately revealed that Min Min was the playable ARMS fighter, and that she would be released on June 29th. According to Super Smash Bros. series creator and director Masahiro Sakurai, he narrowed down the choices to Min Min and Ninjara, but ultimately chose the former following a request from Kosuke Yabuki, the producer of ARMS.[4] On a related note, Sakurai responded to the widespread notion of Spring Man being the main protagonist of ARMS by saying that, according to Yabuki, "Everyone's the protagonist!"[4]

Min Min's ARMS give her a unique control scheme: the A button and B button control her left and right ARMS, respectively; by extension, they result in her special moveset technically consisting of only an up special move (ARMS Jump / ARM Hook) and a down special move (ARMS Change). Min Min wields her standard ARMS (Ramram, Megawatt, and Dragon), which she can freely cycle between via ARMS Change. In addition to her ARM-based attacks, Min Min uses various types of kicks; her up smash is particularly notable due to being a reflector, which is a reference to her ability to deflect an incoming punch in ARMS.[4] Due to her very long-ranged, yet laggy punches, Min Min's playstyle encourages playing on the ground from a distance, but leaves her at a disadvantage in the air and at close range.[4]

Spirits[edit]

Primary spirit[edit]

Prior to the release of Min Min as a fighter, Min Min appeared as an Ace-class primary spirit. This spirit initially had no series symbol assigned, but was given the ARMS symbol upon Min Min's release as a fighter.

In Adventure Mode: World of Light, Min Min is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by Galeem during his takeover of the universe. Min Min's spirit is located in the village section of The Light Realm.

Min Min uses a female Corrin puppet fighter and is fought on the New Pork City stage's Ω form. During the battle, Corrin has increased move speed and favors her Dragon Fang Shot, referencing Min Min's Dragon ARM, a dragon-shaped ARM with the ability to fire a laser from its mouth. Also, Corrin's attack power increases when she reaches high damage.
