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 26, 2020 during a Nintendo Direct Mini. However, it was not revealed that it would be Min Min until June 22, 2020 during a Mr. Sakurai Presents. Min Min will be released on June 29, 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 is currently unknown.
• 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 cover 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

• Neutral attack and forward tilt have her shoot her left ARM. Forward smash is slightly stronger and has slightly more range. Both can be angled, and Min Min can move around while performing either.
• Some of Min Min's attacks incorporate kicks:
  • 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 Fox.
  • Up tilt - a quick wheel kick.
  • Down tilt - a sliding kick, similar to Cloud's.
  • 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's
  • Up aerial - a flip kick.
  • Down aerial - a dive kick.
• Up special - ARMS Jump: 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.

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".
