ARMS Jump (アームジャンプ ) is Min Min's up special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

When used on the ground, Min Min will slam her fists on the ground in order to then leap into the air. Much like Shock Spring Jump and Kaswoosh, the height reached by the move depends on how long the player holds the button.

When used in the air, the move becomes ARM Hook (アームフック, Arm Hook), where Min Min will instead reach up with her left ARM. If she is close to a ledge, her ARM will act as a tether recovery. It can be used as an attack and deals respectable damage and knockback on its own (being able to KO past 120%), though it is difficult to use in combat due to its fixed angle.

Instructional quotes

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Move List Min Min (SSBU) On the ground, the ARMS boost the jump. In the air, the ARMS extend upward to attack or to grab on to an edge.

Origin

One of Spring Man’s victory animations, which ARMS Jump seems to be inspired from.

While not specific techniques in the home series, ARMS Jump bears a resemblance to a similar high jump in one of Spring Man's victory poses and ARM Hook is a standard punch at a higher angle. During the Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 trailer, a girl who is playing Ribbon Girl can be seen doing a move similar to what Min Min does to evade a man playing Spring Man's punch.
