|dairdesc=A diagonal flying kick. It can [[meteor smash]] at the start of the move. Due to its status as a [[stall-then-fall]], it can be used to break out of disadvantage, although it is can be reacted to easily with proper prediction.

|grabdesc=Extends her ARMS to clinch the opponent. Min Min has an extended grab, which is identical to her grab in ''ARMS'', albeit unable to reach the same range as her punches. By far the slowest startup of any grab in ''Ultimate'', but it makes up for this by having the second-longest range of all grabs in the game (with only {{SSBU|Samus}}' and {{SSBU|Dark Samus}}' [[Grapple Beam]] surpassing it). While it has extreme range, it is merely an extended grab, not a [[tether grab]], much like how the [[Hookshot]] and the Grapple Beam function in ''[[SSB]]''. As a result, it does not function as a [[grab aerial]] and, by extension, cannot be used as a [[tether recovery]].

===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
As a result of her very unique traits and polarized advantage and disadvantage states, the initial reception toward Min Min was mixed; some players (such as {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|Dabuz}}) believed she could be one of the best fighters in the game because of her excellence at pressuring, zoning, tech-chasing and edge-guarding, whereas other players (such as {{Sm|Marss}}) pointed out her susceptibility against faster, aerial-oriented fighters. Due to the [[COVID-19]] pandemic being at its peak around the time of her release, especially in the west, much of the analysis of Min Min's qualities remained mostly theoretical for a long time. In Japan, where the offline metagame managed to persist in spite of the pandemic, Min Min achieved more positive impressions, courtesy of in-person tournament results from players such as {{Sm|Himo}}, {{Sm|Terra}}, and {{Sm|Mao}}.

A notable turning point for Min Min came when {{Sm|ProtoBanham}} adopted her up as a co-main to great success, most notably using Min Min to have near-dominant results in Japan in 2021. Although his dominance waned in 2022, ProtoBanham has continued to achieve success in tournaments while retaining Min Min as a co-main, as evident by him winning two overseas major/supermajor tournaments in a row. In addition, many other Japanese Min Min players began to rise in prominence, most notably {{Sm|Oi, George}} and {{Sm|Omuatsu}}, all of whom achieved several top 32 placements at majors and scored wins over top Japanese players. Eventually, Min Min also found success in the west thanks to the efforts of players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}} and {{Sm|Justice|p=Washington}}; Dabuz, in particular, used Min Min to achieve top 3 placements at multiple majors. These strong results led many players to believe that Min Min was a high tier fighter at worst; this perception was later confirmed for the most part via Min Min's placement on the first tier list, where she was ranked 16th and thus placed near the bottom of S- tier.

Following the first tier list, Min Min's representation only continued to improve thanks to the efforts of {{Sm|Doramigi}}, who began making waves in mid-2023 and has since established himself as the best solo-Min Min player in the world, placing top 8 at a multitude of majors and supermajors. Min Min's continued presence in top level play helped lead to her rise on the second and current tier list, where she is ranked 12th, although she is now in A+ tier due to the tier list being restructured.
