Being the first DLC fighter of Fighters Pass Volume 2, and the seventh DLC fighter overall. Sakurai Presents video on June 22nd, 2020, it was announced to be Min Min. She was released on June 29th as. Min Min is a non-traditional zoner, who uses her long disjointed arms to attack from across the stage. She is able to change the type of arm she uses with neutral B, and alternate smash attacks with forward smash and side special.
Min Min will join the Smash Bros. roster on June 29, exactly a week after her initial reveal.
What makes Min Min a unique fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?
Min Min will be the first playable representative from the ARMS series in Smash Ultimate and will have one of the most unique movesets out of all 76 fighters. She’ll be able to extend her elastic limbs to cover most of the stage in almost any situation, but Min Min comes with one defining feature that truly sets her apart from the rest of the roster.
“There’s one big difference that separates Min Min from the other fighters,” said Sakurai. “The B Button isn’t just a special move like normal .. The A and B Buttons control the left and right arms, respectively.”
The new character can swap between the weapons she has equipped on each arm depending on if she wants to secure a knockout, build up damage, or keep her opponents from getting back on stage. Her kit revolves around fighting enemies on the ground and keeping her distance with her extendo-knuckles.
Here’s a complete breakdown of all of Min Min’s moves we saw during Monday’s Smash Ultimate presentation.
Min Min’s Tilt and Smash Attacks
By slightly holding and releasing either the A or B button Min Min will lunge her arms forward. Players can continuously press both buttons to throw out a flurry of long-ranged punches that cover a majority of the stage, but leave Min Min vulnerable if her opponents are able to jump over them and close the distance.
Players can charge up these attacks by holding A or B along and a tilting the joystick to the left or right will unleash more powerful Smash Attacks that extend further and can be angled up or down. Min Min also has the ability to throw out these powerful moves while she’s in the air, something that’s impossible for any other character.
This allows Min Min to punish opponents that want to jump to close the distance between them and her. Use of mix of grounded and aerial Tilt and Smash attacks to keep enemies at .. ARMS length.

Down and Up Specials
Even though Min Min’s kit uses the B Button to control her right arm, she still has access to two special moves.
Wiiware pal wads. Down Special: ARMS Change
Holding B and downward on the joystick will let players cycle between three knuckle weapons Min Min can equip on her right arm.
- Ring Ramram:This circular blade covers the most space out of all three weapons and should be used for poke damage, creating space, or trying to gimp your opponents off the stage.
- Megawatt: This wrecking ball is the Min Min’s go-to move to clean up stocks. It’s the slowest out of all three but has the potential to kill as early as 40 to 50 percent when it’s fully charged.
- Dragon:Her third weapon is a middle ground between and offers a lot of range but still packs a punch. Min Min has another Dragon permanently equipped on her left arm, it’s the only weapon she can dual-wield.
Min Min’s neutral aerial (A Button in midair) changes depending on which of her three weapons she’s wielding. She’ll swing them in a circle around her, Megawatt will be the slowest-but-strongest variant and the Ring Ramram will come out quicker but deal less damage.
Up Special: ARMS Jump
Pressing the B Button and Up on the joystick when Min Min is on the ground propels her upwards, holding down this input will send her higher. This can be used to quickly get out of a dicey situation.
When Min Min is in the air, her Up Special becomes a tether grab that will latch her onto the stage, much like Byleth’s Up Special.
Other Aerials and Smash Attacks
Min Min also has access to a handful of kick moves that make up the rest of her kit.
Rapid Jab (Quickly tap the A Button): By repeatedly tapping the A button, Min Min will pepper her opponents with quick kicks.
Up Tilt (A Button + slightly hold up on the joystick): Min Min lets out a quick somersault kick.

Up Aerial (A Button + hold up while in midair): An airborne version of her Up Tilt that can be used to juggle opponents.
Up Smash (A Button + hold up on the joystick): A more powerful version of her Up Tilt that will K.O. opponents off the top. It can also reflect incoming projectiles if timed correctly, like Ness’s Forward Smash.
Down Smash (A Button + hold down): Min Min drops down in a split and kicks her opponents on either side.
Dash Attack (Run and press the A Button): Min Min lunges forward with a jumping kick.
Down Tilt (A Button + slightly hold down): This slides Min Min in the direction players are facing and is a good combo starter.
Down Aerial (A Button + hold down while in midair): Min Min will shoot dowards with a diving kick. This can be used offensively or to quickly get back on stage if you’re at a disadvantage.
Final Smash
Min Min Arms Ssbu
Min Min’s Final Smash is called ARMS Rush and it delivers a powerful left hook that obliterates opponents if it connects.
Once the move connects, it will take Min Min’s enemy into a cinematic where they get pummeled by most of the cast of ARMS and Min Min will finish it off with a final laser blast from her Dragon fist weapon.
Min Min will be released on June 29.
Min Min from Nintendo’s ARMS series was confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Fighter Pass 2on Monday. The lanky-armed boxer is the first character from the boxing franchise to make it into the Nintendo Switch’s definitive fighting game, and even though Min Min won't join the fray until June 29, her inclusion breaks one of the Smash Bros. series’ unofficial cardinal rules: If the character exists in the game as an Assist Trophy or Spirit, they won’t become a playable character. Now, all bets are off.
While Nintendo has never confirmed this rule to be true, Smash Bros. fans have long considered it to be a law that will never be broken. But Min Min has been a Spirit in Smash Ultimate since the game’s release in December 2018. Does that mean long-requested characters that are currently Assist Trophies or Spirits could one day make it to the game’s roster?
Technically, yes.
Many leaks and rumors about what fighter could be added to Smash Ultimate next have been shunned by the game’s fans because Nintendo added the character in question as a Spirit or Assist Trophy, but those days might be over.
While Nintendo still has never added a fighter that is already an Assist Trophy into a Smash Bros. title, the addition of Min Min made it clear that the company is willing to create fighters for characters that have already been somewhat included in the game. That means these any of these three long-rumored fighters could be included as part of Fighter Pass 2.
3. Geno
Geno is one of the two original characters from the SNES title Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (1996) and has been in the running as a potential addition to Smash Bros. since Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Nintendo Wii. The possessed doll was only ever featured in the SNES game, which is considered to be one of the best games on the system.
Geno is already Spirit in Smash Ultimate, but so was Min Min until recently. In fact, Smash Bros. Game Director Masahiro Sakurai even attempted to put Geno in Smash Bros. Brawl, but that never came to fruition for unknown reasons.
“Geno was actually a character I wanted to include as a fighter,” Sakurai told Nintendo Dream in 2016. “He has a gun for an arm, and just seems like he’d fit absolutely perfectly into Smash. I was hoping I’d be able to put him in as far back as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but unfortunately, that never ended up materializing.”
Could Smash Ultimate be Geno’s moment in the spotlight?
2. Leon from Resident Evil
There have been rumors Leon would join Smash Bros. since 2015 when Sakurai stated that Nintendo planned to add “one or two” more third-party characters to Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS. That never came to pass, but rumors about a Resident Evil DLC fighter resurfaced in October.
Fans of the survival-horror who had long hoped for Leon to be added to Smash Bros. lost that hope when Nintendo added him as a Spirit in November 2019. Min Min’s announcement has reignited the Leon in Smash dream.
Resident Evil 4 (2005) was a GameCube exclusive that garnered rave reviews and is considered one of the best ever games for the platform. Plus, the original Resident Evilwas ported to the Switch, making the addition of Leon at least feasible.
1. Waluigi
Finally, there is a glimmer of hope left for the maniacal, mustachioed Waluigi to be added as a part of Fighter Pass 2. While Nintendo still has not released a playable fighter that is also an Assist Trophy, Min Min’s addition is proof that the company is willing to throw anyone in the roster as long as they’re fun to play.
Sakurai mentioned during Terry Bogard’s Smash Ultimate announcement that as long as the character is enjoyable and unique, Nintendo will look past how well-known they are and potentially even company traditions.
'Whether or not the character is fun to play as is more important than whether the character is new or old, or whether the character is recognizable to everyone,” he said during the presentation.
In other words: Now, more than ever, there’s still hope for Waluigi fans!
