Min Min (ミェンミェン,MinMin) is a character from the 3D fighting gameARMS. After making a cameo as aspirit in the base version ofSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Min Min later became a playable character inUltimate as the first character ofFighters Pass Vol. 2.

Origin[edit]

Min Min fighting againstNinjara on theRamen Bowl inARMS.

Min Min is one of the 15 fighters from theNintendo Switch fighting gameARMS. She is one of a select few people in the world to be born with a gene that grantsARMS, a phenomenon where the person's arms (or, in rare cases, other body parts) transmute into extendable helixes. In Min Min's case, her ARMS heavily resemble ramen noodles, fittingly in reference to her family operating the Mintendo Noodle House.

Unlike the other fighters, Min Min's left ARM can transform into a dragon ARM (regardless of whatever type of ARM is equipped) when her ARMS are fullycharged for longer than usual, or upon successfullythrowing an opponent. This effect increases that ARM's size significantly and causes it to remain charged indefinitely. However, this effect can be deactivated if Min Min is hit with a charged punch, knocked down, or if her left ARM is disabled. In addition to her ARMS, Min Min is a talented martial artist, and utilizes kicks that enable her to deflect an opponent's punches.

Min Min participates in theARMS LeagueGrand Prix with the goal of winning the championship in order to promote her family's restaurant. Her Grand Prix ending depicts her serving ramen to many people wearing replicas of her hat, includingBiff, indicating that the publicity stunt was a success.

Standard ARMS[edit]

In addition to their extendableARMS, all of the fighters in the ARMS League have equipment also referred to asARMS, which are worn over their fists and serve as their primary weapons. Different ARMS have different types (referring to how they act when used to punch), attributes (usually an elemental effect inflicted on any opponents hit when the ARM is charged), and weight classes (determining what will happen if two ARMS collide; heavier ARMS will beat out lighter ones, while ARMS of equal weight will cancel each other out). Each fighter comes with three standard ARMS, although all ARMS can be unlocked for all fighters via theARM Getter. Min Min uses her standard ARMS inSuper Smash Bros., which are as follows:

• TheRamram (ホットリング,Hot Ring) is a medium-weightCurve-type and has theFire attribute.
• TheMegawatt (メガボルト,Megavolt) is a heavy-weightHeavy-type and has theElectric attribute.
• TheDragon (ドラゴン,Dragon) is a medium-weightBeam-type and has the Fire attribute.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

As a playable character[edit]

Prior toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate's launch, playable fighters fromARMS andXenoblade Chronicles 2 were considered for inclusion in the base roster. However, these potential fighters were passed over because their respective games had been announced long after planning and production ofUltimate began.^[2] A little over a year followingUltimate's launch, aNintendo Direct Mini on March 26, 2020 announced anARMS fighter as the firstDLC character ofFighters Pass Vol. 2. Although the entire playable cast ofARMS was shown in the Direct, the identity of the playable fighter would not be revealed until their release in June.^[3]

On June 22nd, an installment ofMr. Sakurai Presents was released and ultimately revealed that Min Min was the playableARMS fighter, and that she would be released on June 29th. According toSuper Smash Bros. series creator and directorMasahiro Sakurai, he narrowed down the choices to Min Min andNinjara, but ultimately chose the former following a request fromKosuke Yabuki, the producer ofARMS.^[4] On a related note, Sakurai responded to the widespread notion ofSpring Man being the main protagonist ofARMS by saying that, according to Yabuki, "Everyone's the protagonist!"^[4]

Min Min's ARMS give her a unique control scheme: theA button andB button control her left and right ARMS, respectively; by extension, they result in her special moveset technically consisting of only an up special move (ARMS Jump / ARM Hook) and a down special move (ARMS Change). Min Min wields her standard ARMS (Ramram,Megawatt, andDragon), which she can freely cycle between via ARMS Change. In addition to her ARM-based attacks, Min Min uses various types of kicks; her up smash is particularly notable due to being areflector, which is a reference to her ability to deflect an incoming punch inARMS.^[4] Due to her very long-ranged, yet laggypunches, Min Min's playstyle encourages playing on the ground from a distance, but leaves her at a disadvantage in the air and at close range.^[4]

Spirits[edit]

Primary spirit[edit]

Prior to the release of Min Min as a fighter, she appeared as an Ace-classprimary spirit. This spirit initially had noseries symbol assigned, but was given theARMS symbol upon Min Min's release as DLC.

InAdventure Mode: World of Light, Min Min is presumably one of the countless spirits captured byGaleem during his takeover of the universe. Min Min's spirit is located in the village section ofThe Light Realm.

Min Min uses a femaleCorrin puppet fighter and is fought on theNew Pork City stage'sΩ form. During the battle, Corrin has increased move speed and favors herDragon Fang Shot, referencing Min Min's Dragon ARM, a dragon-shaped ARM with the ability to fire a laser from its mouth. Also, Corrin's attack power increases when she reaches high damage.

Trivia[edit]

• Min Min is the first DLCnewcomer in anySuper Smash Bros. game to come from a new first-party series;Corrin,Byleth andPiranha Plant are from preexisting series.
• Min Min's default right ARM inARMS is the Megawatt, whereas inSuper Smash Bros., it is the Ramram.
• Min Min is the fourth fighter to originate from a fighting game, followingRyu,Ken Masters, andTerry Bogard.
• Min Min's playable inclusion inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate marks the first time a newly included franchise's fighter is not the flagship character or mascot in some form (such as one who is the main protagonist) or prominently featured in official media in some form (such as box art).
  • According toARMS producer Kosuke Yabuki, this is because every fighter inARMS is the protagonist.
  • In addition, Min Min was the champion of the onlineParty Crash BashARMS event that took place from November 2018 to June 2019, in which Ninjara was also the runner-up.
