Min Min (SSBU): Difference between revisions

The [[COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on competitive Smash|impact of COVID-19 on competitive ''Smash'']] would serve to postpone Min Min's performance at offline events. As a result of her very unique traits and lopsided advantage and disadvantage states, the initial reception to the character was mixed; some players such as {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|Dabuz}} acclaimed her as one of the best characters in the game, pointing to her excellence in pressuring, zoning, tech-chasing and edgeguarding, while other players such as {{Sm|Marss}} pointed out her weaknesses against faster, air-based top-tier characters and even mid- to low-tiers. In Japan, where the offline meta managed to prosper, Min Min saw more positive competitive impressions, courtesy of in-person tournament results from players such as {{Sm|Himo}}, {{Sm|Terra}}, and {{Sm|Mao}}. A notable turning point for the character came when {{Sm|ProtoBanham}} picked up the character as a co-main to great success, most notably using the character to secure victory in {{Trn|Kagaribi 4}} across multiple Top 64 sets - including Grand Finals - against several [[Fall 2019 PGRU]]'d players, making her the first [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|DLC]] character since {{SSBU|Joker}} to have won a [[supermajor]]. In the west, Dabuz embraced Min Min as an additional character in his main lineup, placing 3rd at {{Trn|Momentous}} predominantly using the character. These results have led to more people considering her a strong contender at a competitive level, with players such as {{Sm|Raito}} and {{Sm|Lunamado}} labeling her a high tier at minimum. Aside from her aforementioned strengths, her ability to play scrappy in close-quarters engagements with strong anti-airs, burst options, and out-of-shield options, on top of her her potent ground-to-air coverage and general mixup potential, has had many players believe that she offsets her weaknesses enough that she could even be in contention for top tier.
