Editing Min Min (SSBU)

:{{Cquote|''Min Min Arms Herself!''|cite=Introduction tagline}}

'''Min Min''' ({{ja|ミェンミェン|Myen Myen}}, ''MinMin'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. She is the seventh [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|downloadable character]] in ''Ultimate'' and the first downloadable character of {{h2|Downloadable content (SSBU)|Fighters Pass Vol. 2}}. An {{uv|ARMS}} character was announced to be playable as part of Challenger Pack 6 on March 26th, 2020 during a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubRf4zyEvG4 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 was released as part of Challenger Pack 6 on June 29th, 2020 (June 30th, 2020 in Europe and Asia), and is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #76]].

 

 

 

 

Despite these drawbacks and game updates nerfing her in a few ways, Min Min's pros largely outweigh her cons, and she has consistently maintained strong representation at all levels of competitive play since her release. She is believed to be able to contend against many characters in the top tier echelon, and has seen notable tournament success courtesy of players such as {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Doramigi}}, and {{Sm|ProtoBanham}}.

Although Min Min's physique is athletic and slender, the {{iw|armsinstitute|ARMS|equipment}} she wields render her as a [[Weight|heavyweight]] that weighs as much as {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Yoshi}}, {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}, and {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}. Her base stats are true to this weight class as well, with an average [[walk]]ing speed, the 20th slowest [[dash]]ing speed, and the 6th slowest [[air speed]]. As an ''ARMS'' [[armsinstitute:Fighters|fighter]], Min Min's playstyle can be considered a hybrid of {{SSBU|Little Mac}} and {{SSBU|Simon}}'s, with an emphasis on both strong [[punch]]es and keeping foes at a distance. Although her punches have the most melee [[range]] of any attack in the game, their hitboxes located strictly on her equipped ARMS, and do not cover her [[armsinstitute:ARMS (extendable)|extendable ARMS]]. As a result, Min Min requires much stricter attack positioning to keep opponents away at a safe distance in comparison to other fighters dependent on [[spacing]], such as {{SSBU|Marth}} or {{SSBU|Corrin}}.

 

Min Min's biggest strength is arguably the sheer versatility of her moveset. Her [[down special]], [[ARMS Change]], allows her to swap between a trio of ARMS which can be equipped to her right ARM: the Ramram, which is not as powerful as her other ARMS but can be angled in a wider arc; the Megawatt, which lacks in speed and range but compensates with high power; and the Dragon, which can fire a laser if the attack button for Min Min's respective ARM is held down. ARMS Change does not incur any [[ending lag]], allowing her to swap her right ARM instantly as needed, allowing for a potential surprise attack. Min Min can uniquely attack with one ARM and use the other one mid-attack (and can do so in entirely different directions), as the A button triggers attacks with her left ARM, while the B button triggers attacks with her right.

 

This effect also applies to her [[forward smash]] attacks, granting her a distinctly high damage dispensing ceiling. While this effectively deprives her of any traditional [[Neutral special|neutral]] and [[side special]] moves, this gives her a very strong mix-up game: she can use both ARMS to catch foes off guard before attacking, as well as cover a myriad of tech chasing options. She can also [[jump]] mid-punch, giving her a decent ground-to-air game, although this is mostly effective when Ramram is active due to its vertical coverage.

 

In the air, Min Min's [[Forward aerial|forward]] and [[back aerial]]s retain the same function as they do on the [[ground]], though she uniquely has the ability to perform forward smashes while airborne. This allows her to sport [[KO]] potential even in air-to-air engagements, as well as giving her additional unique landing options. Her [[neutral aerial]] spins Min Min's left ARM in a circular motion, which can be reliably spaced and used as a defensive option. Uniquely, her airborne neutral special is nearly identical to her neutral aerial, while utilizing her currently equipped right ARM instead of her left. Although the different ARMS sport different traits in terms of startup, speed and active [[frame]]s, they all have the same amount of [[landing lag]]. The Megawatt version of Min Min's airborne neutral special is notably capable of KOing, while the Ramram version can [[combo]] into itself at low percentages, and lead into forward and back aerial combos, which in some circumstances may lead to early KOs.

 

 

Although Min Min is afforded safety from on-stage against horizontal recoveries, the speed of Min Min's attacks in the air grant her plenty of opportunities in [[edge-guard]]ing from off-stage as well, and [[ARMS Jump]] allows her to pursue and edge-guard opponents who recover high. Depending on the currently equipped ARM, Min Min can even beat out oncoming [[projectile]]s from characters attempting to pressure her from afar. The core of her security is from the inability to counter an ARM at mid-to-long range in any way that would put her at risk, and no ARM nor any of their effects can be [[reflect]]ed.

 

While punches comprise the bulk of her [[move]]set, Min Min also has a handful of kicks that also have utility. Her [[down tilt]] is a sliding kick that, despite its meager damage output, allows her to [[approach]] foes reliably due to its speed and distance covered, and it can also start combos. Her [[dash attack]] gives her a solid burst option given her lack in mobility, can lead to follow-ups at low percentages, and is able to [[cross-up]] [[shield]]s when used at close range. Her [[up aerial]] has a good horizontal range in front of her that makes it good for performing combos on landing, while her [[down aerial]] is decently strong and can function as a combo breaker if there is enough vertical distance.

 

Min Min's [[up smash]] and [[down smash]] have great power when [[Sweet spot (hitbox)|sweetspotted]], being very strong KO options. Both Min Min's up smash and [[up tilt]] have very fast startup, as well as great vertical range, giving her both a strong [[out of shield]] option and useful anti-air. Additionally, her up smash has the unique properties of sporting a reflector hitbox, which is active one frame before its attack hitbox, and has one persistent reflector hitbox in front of her for the duration of the move, as well as moving ones on her legs. Because of the reflector being applied to her up smash, she sports the fastest out of shield reflector in the game, and is able to cover both close-range approaches and point-blank projectile options.

 

Min Min also has a useful [[grab]] game; her grab has the second-longest range of all grabs in the game, and each of her [[throw]]s have worthwhile utility. Her [[forward throw]] can force opponents offstage and set up easy tech chase combos at lower percentages, her [[up throw|up]] and [[back throw]]s have strong KO potential, and her [[down throw]], despite its inability to start combos reliably, can still follow up if the opponent does not react accordingly. Throwing also has the benefit of [[armsinstitute:Charge|charging]] her left Dragon ARM; this [[charge]]d up state lasts for ≈20 seconds (barring the sustaining of heavy [[knockback]]), and gives her a damage and knockback boost on any attack made with her left Dragon ARM, including its laser. However, one key flaw with her grab is that it has the longest startup of any grab in the game, and considerable end lag if missed, rendering it a risky option to use in neutral and largely saved for landing and [[whiff]] [[punish]]ing.

 

Despite all of Min Min's unique perks, her moveset does come with weaknesses. As her ARMS' [[hitbox]]es are located on her "fists", foes can easily close in on her if she makes a mistake in spacing or timing her punches. While the Ramram's wide curving arc can somewhat alleviate this, its hitboxes are rendered inactive during the last few frames of retraction, requiring her to properly move, time and alternate between ARMS in order to offset her vulnerability, giving her a notably high skill floor. Since this problem is not shared with other range-dependent fighters (such as {{SSBU|Shulk}}), this means that there are bound to be blind spots on Min Min's fist attacks, even against larger characters.

 

One downside to Min Min's more streamlined playstyle is her relative lack of variance between individual moves. Lacking a standard [[forward tilt]] and relying on her forward smash, forward aerial and neutral moves means that Min Min's main moves are far more prone to becoming [[Stale-move negation|stale]] compared to other characters. Even with the various ARMS to swap between, their counter-play remains relatively similar across all three. Many of her moves are meant for combat from much greater distances, and while she sports many close-range moves with fast startup as a last line of defense, they are generally plagued with notable end lag, making them highly committal and punishable if whiffed or blocked. This means that characters with fast mobility are particularly difficult for Min Min to fight, especially if they have high damage per second or KO potentials, as she lacks tools to handle them up close and any easy way to keep them at bay without committing to high vulnerability [[read]]s.

 

Min Min further suffers from her very poor disadvantage state. She has almost no moves to break out of disadvantage once she is in it, lacking any functional combo breakers outside of situational usage of down and neutral aerials. This, coupled with her slow [[fall speed]], makes her prone to getting [[juggling|juggled]]. Her [[up special]] has a long range as a [[tether recovery]], but will only work if Min Min is sufficiently close to an [[edge]], which means that any stray [[aerial]] from any character may be enough to edge-guard and [[gimp]] her, even at surprisingly low percentages. This is compounded by her abysmal air speed, which makes both recovering and avoiding repeated attacks all the more difficult. Finally, while she has more range to control and threaten with than any other character, she can occasionally struggle with being conditioned by opponents in the [[neutral game]].

 

Min Min's up smash, despite also doubling as a reflector, is highly committal, making it an inferior option against certain projectile users (such as {{SSBU|Mega Man}} or the [[Link]]s), as they can pressure her with multiple fast projectiles that her reflector is unable to account for. While her ARMS can beat out weaker projectiles, there are quite a few that either clank or have transcendent [[priority]], which forces her to play aggressively and risk slipping into her poor disadvantageous state. This issue is exacerbated particularly against characters who have reflectors of their own, and are able to reflect their own projectiles back at her.

 

Overall, Min Min is a character well equipped with unique tools and traits that have her play a hybrid gameplay style, incorporating elements of zoning as well as the aggressive usage of long-ranged attacks. Her fast overall frame data, strong anti-aerial prowess, and ability to alternate between attacks while retaining mobility make for a character who maintains a strong pressure game that can discombobulate opponents, allowing her to mix up her play from multiple angles in deceptive ways. Her ability to switch the traits of her attacks also gives her unique frame trapping and tech-chasing capabilities, as well as a deadly edge-guarding game. This adds up to Min Min having a profound snowball effect whenever she gains advantage in battle. However, the combination of her precision-reliant hitboxes, subpar disadvantage state, punishable frame data on select key moves, and high learning curve collectively mean that Min Min's player has to possess the ingenuity to master precision, proper conditioning, and reads in order to combat opponents who are capable of rushing her down, playing a stronger defensive game, or taking advantage of her blind spots.

 

Aside from a glitch fix in update 8.1.0, Min Min received a mix of buffs and nerfs via game updates, but was nerfed overall. In update 9.0.0, neutral infinite's finisher received [[transcendent priority]] as part of a near-universal buff. Following this, update 11.0.0 nerfed Min Min in a few ways. Forward smash's holding charge duration was shortened significantly, and the Dragon ARM's KO potential was toned down slightly due to its laser's base knockback being decreased. Aside from these changes, Min Min's air dodge gained noticeably more ending lag; previously, it was the second fastest in the game, but is now approximately average compared to the rest of the cast's air dodges.

 

 

Lastly, update 13.0.1 adjusted Min Min's [[jab lock]] animation to be consistent with the rest of the cast. Technically, this counts as a buff, thanks to it making the window for jab locked punishes on Min Min less lenient. However, Min Min was yet again nerfed in a few ways: her neutral aerial's landing lag was increased by 2 frames, her forward tilt and forward smash deal less shield damage, and forward smash's Dragon laser has less active frames.

 

Overall, Min Min continues to achieve respectable results in tournaments, even in spite of her nerfs making some of her more dominant options being slightly easier to punish. As a result, she fares mildly worse than she did when she was first released.

 

 

 

 

 

{{UpdateList (SSBU)/13.0.1|char=Min Min}}

 

*Min Min has an unorthodox control scheme for the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series: the attack ([[A]] by default) and special ([[B]] by default) buttons are designated to her left and right ARMS respectively, allowing her to attack while alternating between ARMS. Pressing these buttons simultaneously will have Min Min attack with each ARM one after the other, with a short pause in between. As a result of this unique control scheme, Min Min's special moveset technically consists of only an up special move ([[ARMS Jump / ARM Hook]]) and a down special move ([[ARMS Change]]).

**She can move around and jump while performing the tilt version of said attacks and use the smash version in the air. Min Min can also punch behind herself when alternating punches, angle the attacks upward and downward when on the ground, and even crouch during the tilt version of these attacks. The arms lack hurtboxes, making them disjointed, with the ARMS being the actual hitboxes only when extending outward. The ARMS will bounce back upon hitting [[shield]]s, walls, or floors.

*Min Min's forward smash has a different charging animation depending on if she is punching forward or backward.

*Min Min's right ARM can be swapped between three ARMS—the Ramram, the Megawatt and the Dragon—by using ARMS Change.

*If Min Min [[charge]]s a smash attack for ≈15 frames (grounded only, except for the Dragon ARM for aerial smash attacks), her ARM will generate additional effects. More details are mentioned below.

*After [[throw]]ing an opponent or while she has the [[Final Smash]] aura, Min Min's left ARM will be {{s|armsinstitute|charge}}d for ≈20 seconds. This is indicated by the ARM changing appearance, which also increases its damage and knockback (see below).<!--this appears to be its hitbox for the tilts, neutral aerial, and ARMS Hook (which is equal to 1.15x) but a 1.25x multiplier for the smashes-->

''For a gallery of Min Min's hitboxes, see [[Min Min (SSBU)/Hitboxes|here]].''

 

|ftiltdesc=''Attack'': Throws a single straight punch with her left ARM.<br/><br/>''Special'': Throws a single straight punch with her right ARM.<br/><br/>With either ARM, Min Min can move slowly and jump during this move, similarly to {{SSBU|Mega Man}}'s forward tilt. The attack can be angled so that it curves upward or downward.

|nairdesc=''Attack'': Swings her left ARM around herself in a downward circular motion.<br/><br/>''Special:'' Swings her right ARM around herself in a downward circular motion.<br/><br/>The Ramram variant is extremely fast and can be used in quick succession, allowing it to combo into itself without the need to land on the ground. The Megawatt variant is notorious for its high power, being able to KO under 100% near the top blast line. Lastly, the Dragon variant falls in between with a decent balance of speed and power, although it gains decent KO potential when powered up by a throw. One thing that all of the neutral aerial variants have in common is that they function as a versatile combo starter on landing; it can combo into down tilt, forward tilt/held neutral attack, dash attack, and even forward smash at low percentages. As of update 13.0.1, however, its higher landing lag makes these combos less consistent and thus riskier to perform. Due to its versatility, it is one of Min Min's most useful moves overall.

|fairdmg=&mdash;{{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8}} (tilted), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (smashed close), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|16}} (smashed mid), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|13}} (smashed far), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|7}} (smashed laser){{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|9.2}} (tilted), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|15}} (smashed close), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|20}} (smashed mid), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|16.25}} (smashed late), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (smashed laser){{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|11}} (tilted), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|19}} (smashed close), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|21}} (smashed mid), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|19}} (smashed far){{!!}}{{ShortHopDmgSSBU|5}} (tilted), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|10}} (smashed close/mid), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|12}} (smashed far), {{ShortHopDmgSSBU|2.5}} (ring)

|fairdesc=''Attack'': Throws a single straight punch with her left ARM.<br/><br/>''Special'': Throws a single straight punch with her right ARM.<br/><br/>If performed using a smash input, the move will have more range and power but will be slower, with similar properties to forward smash. If using the smash input, Min Min will temporarily stall in the air, but only for her first input. Additionally, doing so will prevent her from being able to fast fall until she either uses a standard aerial or jumps. Unlike the grounded version of these attacks, this attack cannot be angled.

|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]].

|fthrowdesc=A side kick. It puts opponents into an unfavorable position offstage, and most notably, it can lead into a forward smash at low-mid percentages. While it isn't a true combo, the opponent has very few options to escape afterwards, most of which Min Min can react to. The move also resembles her {{s|armsinstitute|grab}}'s throw in ''ARMS''.

|dsdesc=Swaps between three different ARMS (see section below), each of which have a different effect on her ARM-based moves. She cannot swap while attacking or while unable to move. Swapping is active on frame 1, and ARMS can attack instantly with a changed ARM.

 

[[File:Min Min SSBU Skill Preview Extra 1.png|thumb|200px|Min Min's ARMS, as shown via [[Move List]].]]

 

*'''Ramram:''' Min Min's default right ARM. It is her fastest ARM, but also the weakest. While attacking with [[Punch]], it throws out a {{s|wikipedia|chakram}} that is flung in an upward circle before returning to her. It can be angled to slightly change its trajectory. If charged for more than 15 frames during her forward smash, the chakram will be set aflame, inflicting [[flame|flaming]] damage to enemies. The chakram does not stop moving when it strikes an opponent, and it cannot be reflected.

*'''Megawatt:''' A {{s|wikipedia|meteor hammer}}-like weapon that is her strongest ARM, but also the slowest. Every blow from the Megawatt emits a "heavy" hit sound effect, similarly to moves used by super heavyweights (such as {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}). If charged for more than 15 frames during her forward smash, the Megawatt will become electrified, inflicting [[electric]]al damage to enemies.

*'''Dragon:''' A dragon head-shaped energy cannon that acts as Min Min's fixed left ARM. It is the middle ground of her ARMS, sporting average damage, knockback and speed. If the attack button is held during a forward smash, the Dragon will fire a laser {{s|armsinstitute|beam}}, which has slight homing capabilities and will attempt to aim at an opponent. If charged for more than 15 frames during her forward smash, the Dragon will change appearance and generate a stronger yellow laser beam that is encircled with a teal laser beam that inflicts more damage and knockback. This laser beam can also be generated via her aerial smash attacks, unlike the Ramram or Megawatt. Both versions of the laser beam inflict flame damage.

*Min Min's left ARM will always utilize the Dragon and, unlike her right ARM, it has the ability to become {{s|armsinstitute|charge}}d after throwing an opponent, much like in ''ARMS''. The charge is indicated by flames billowing from the Dragon ARM, as well as her extendable ARM changing to look like a dragon's body. When powered up, the Dragon ARM's punch and laser will be stronger for ≈20 seconds, and the laser will take the appearance of its charged variation. Min Min's left ARM also becomes powered up after she gains her Final Smash.

Based on one of Min Min's two victory animations from ''ARMS''. Her right ARM is equipped with the Ramram, and her left Dragon ARM is powered up.

*'''Up''': Performs a {{s|wikipedia|butterfly twist}}, followed by a right-legged wheel kick, followed by a left-legged roundhouse kick in which she keeps her left leg outstretched afterwards. During this pose, Min Min says "{{ja|謝謝！|Xièxie!}}" ("Thank you!") Almost identical to one of Min Min's two victory animations from ''ARMS'', albeit with her smiling instead of scowling. Her right ARM is equipped with the Megawatt.

*'''Right''': Performs a roundhouse kick before assuming the Chā Bù (a stance in wushu). This is based on the animation that plays after Min Min wins a round in ''ARMS''. Her right ARM is equipped with the Dragon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[[File:Min Min Spirit WoL.jpg|thumb|The Min Min spirit in [[World of Light]]]]

Despite her status as downloadable content, Min Min does have a legitimate role in [[World of Light]], as she appears in the base version of ''Ultimate'' as a spirit that can be found in [[The Light Realm]]. She is one of the two spirits the player can defeat to gain access to {{SSBU|Lucas}}, which indicates that she was vaporized by [[Galeem]]. Defeating this spirit does not unlock Min Min as a fighter; rather, she is unlocked after downloading her and defeating at least 10 other fighters under Galeem's control, just like the other DLC fighters.

Min Min's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} as Min Min. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Min Min has been downloaded. Unlocking Min Min in World of Light allows the player to preview the second spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "Min Min (Fighter)". Her fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with her artwork in Ultimate.

Additionally, Min Min has an Attack-type primary spirit as part of the base version of ''Ultimate''.

*Similarly to {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the UI shows Min Min's name as a single word ("MINMIN") when the game's [[language]] is set to Japanese.

*According to ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series creator [[Masahiro Sakurai]], Min Min was originally going to lack any special moves. However, he reconsidered this and instead created the unique special moves for her in the spirit of ''ARMS''.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PushDustIn/status/1283431422905085953 PushDustIn on Twitter: "At first, he considered making the character without any special moves at all, but when he really considered it, he came up with something unique."]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Sephazon/status/1283431741697306625 Robert Sephazon on Twitter: "When playing like this, Sakurai thinks this shows the spirit of “ARMS” where both arms have to be utilized simultaneously. This creates the feeling of “ARMS,” but in the style of Super Smash Bros. This is very important."]</ref>

*Min Min is the first:

**Fighter representing a new [[universe]] who is neither the poster character nor the default player character of their respective series.

***According to Masahiro Sakurai, he had narrowed the choices of an ''ARMS'' fighter down to Min Min and [[Ninjara]]. Min Min was chosen at the request of ''ARMS'' lead producer {{s|armsinstitute|Kosuke Yabuki}}, with her being his favorite ''ARMS'' character.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSTcmnRp3kQ ARMS Master Class w/ Mr. Yabuki – Nintendo Minute]</ref> Yabuki elaborated on this selection by stating that "every fighter in ''ARMS'' is a protagonist".

****Coincidentally, Min Min became the {{s|armsinstitute|Party Crash Bash}} Champion (even winning six Party Crashes overall), with Ninjara being the runner-up.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoVS/status/1140673265989509120 Nintendo Versus on Twitter: "It's Min Min for the win win! After suffering defeat in an earlier #ARMS Party Crash, the queen of ramen returns to slay Ninjara in a heated rematch. She takes the #ARMS #PartyCrashBash championship and stands alone at the top!"]</ref>

**DLC newcomer in any ''Super Smash Bros.'' game that originates from a first-party series that did not have a fighter before DLC.

*Min Min is the third character to speak while being [[star KO]]'d, shouting "{{ja|哎呀！|Āi yā!}}" (''Oh no!''). The first is {{SSBU|Pit}} ("I never learned how to read!") and the second is Byleth ("My battle ends here!"). Unlike them, Min Min says her star KO line in all versions of the game instead of just the English version.

*Min Min is the only fighter from a fighting game who does not automatically face an opponent in a 1-on-1 battle.

*Min Min appears at the beginning of her trailer in a waitress uniform, without her mask and with normal human arms and eyes. This design is completely unique to the trailer.

**In ''ARMS'', human fighters with the ARMS ability are never depicted without a mask. Additionally, they are always shown with spiral-shaped eyes, and their ARMS retain their coiled appearance [[armsinstitute:File:MinMinRamen.png|even when contracted into a human shape]]. While removing the mask returns the coiled ARMS into normal arms,<ref>[https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/879127939115175936]</ref> doing so can cause the ARMS to switch forms unwillingly and become difficult to control,<ref>[https://twitter.com/armsfan_eng/status/879904769350844416]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/wK09fZJ.jpg]</ref> which is not depicted in the trailer.

*Min Min, Inkling, {{SSBU|Terry}}, {{SSBU|Pyra}}, {{SSBU|Mythra}}, and {{SSBU|Kazuya}} are the only newcomers in ''Ultimate'' to have received a [[List of character posters|''SSB4''-style character poster]] to promote their inclusion as a playable character.

*Min Min has unused animations copied from {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}; specifically, the aerial and grounded [[Falcon Kick]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/Zeckemyro/status/1278532640891600897]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/Zeckemyro/status/1278532720168185856]</ref> and other than her unused animations, a similar [[Up aerial]]. This implies that she was developed using Captain Falcon as the basis, similar to [[Little Mac]]. Coincidentally, Captain Falcon appears in Min Min's reveal trailer, and they share the same weight.

**Additionally, her dash attack has an unused [[reflection]] hitbox, in a similar vein to her up smash.<ref>[https://www.twitter.com/Meshima_/status/1280091688514383874]</ref>

*Each in-game render of Min Min features her with a different ARM equipped on her right arm: her primary spirit, fighter spirit, and fighter render feature the Megawatt, Dragon, and Ramram ARMS, respectively.
