'''Min Min''' is a fighter character originating from ''[[armswiki:ARMS (game)|ARMS]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. She is a martial artist who is one of few people in the world with [[armswiki:ARMS (extendable)|ARMS]], a phenomenon that causes the person's arms (or on some occasions, other body parts) to mutate into long, stretchy material. She battles in the [[armswiki:ARMS League|ARMS League]] to promote her family's ramen restaurant, Mintendo Noodle House.

On March 26, 2020, it was announced that the first DLC fighter from the Fighters Pass Vol. 2 for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' would be from ''ARMS'', although the identity of said representative would not be revealed until their release in June.<ref>Nintendo (March 26, 2020). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubRf4zyEvG4 Nintendo Direct Mini 3.26.20]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 30, 2020.</ref> On June 22, 2020, the representative was revealed to be Min Min, and it was announced that she would be released alongside [[Spring Stadium]] via an update available June 29, 2020.<ref>Nintendo (June 22, 2020). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_NNyXaBW-I Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Mr. Sakurai Presents "Min Min"]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved June 30, 2020.</ref> Prior to her inclusion, Min Min also appeared as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in the game. Min Min is the first character to already have a spirit before appearing as a fighter.
 
Min Min is a ranged fighter who utilizes her ARMS in combat. Her ARMS possess significant reach and lack hurtboxes, allowing Min Min to attack safely at a distance. However, Min Min's ARMS are burdened with sluggish attack speed and require precise aiming because of their hitboxes being located only on her ARMS' "fists". Like in ''ARMS'', Min Min also utilizes kicks as part of her moveset.
 
Min Min has three types of ARMS that she can use in battle, all of which can be swapped out (albeit for her right ARM only): [[armswiki:Ramram|Ramram]], a [[wikipedia:Chakram|chakram]] that is weak, yet very maneuverable; [[armswiki:Megawatt|Megawatt]], a large, studded metallic sphere that exchanges range and speed for considerable power; and [[armswiki:Dragon|Dragon]], which is fittingly shaped like a dragon's head and is effectively the middle ground between Ramram and Megawatt in regard to range, speed and power. Each of these ARMS also possess distinct secondary properties: sufficiently charging Ramram and Megawatt will result in them being set aflame and discharging electricity, respectively, whereas Dragon is capable of firing a short-ranged laser beam when the attack button is held, with the laser being further strengthened after being sufficiently charged. The Dragon ARM is Min Min's left ARM at all times and is uniquely capable of being powered up for approximately 20 seconds upon successfully throwing an opponent or while having access to her [[Final Smash]].
 
Uniquely, Min Min does not have a standard or side special move.<ref>Nintendo. [https://youtu.be/-agWiKRt6M8 The August 6, 2020 issue] of [[The Cat Mario Show]] (Japanese). ''YouTube''. Retrieved August 23, 2020.</ref> Instead, the attack button and special move button (when pressed alone or while tilting left or right) are assigned to her left and right ARMS respectively. If both buttons are pressed, Min Min can simultaneously attack with both ARMS. They both act like standard attacks, meaning Min Min can use a smash attack or initiate a multi-hit attack with the special move button.
 
Min Min is one of the lighter heavyweights in the game, being lighter than [[Solid Snake|Snake]], [[R.O.B.]], and [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]], but heavier than [[Ryu]] and [[Ken Masters|Ken]], while having the same weight as [[Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Mii Gunner]].
 
She also briefly appears in [[Kazuya Mishima]]'s debut trailer, where the titular character tosses her into a lava flow, and also promptly kicks her ARM off the cliff when it still latches on.

==Special moves==
===ARMS Jump / ARM Hook===
[[File:SSBU Min Min ARM Jump.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Min Min performing ARM Jump on [[Castle Siege]].]]
Min Min's up special move changes depending on whether she executes it on the ground or in the air. When used on the ground, Min Min uses '''ARMS Jump''' to launch herself into the air. Although it does not damage opponents, ARMS Jump propels her fairly high in the air and briefly renders her intangible, both of which make it useful for evading close-range pressure. ARMS Jump can also be charged, which increases both its jump height and intangibility frames.
[[File:SSBU Min Min Up B.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Min Min grabbing an edge with ARM Hook on Spring Stadium.]]
When used in the air, Min Min uses '''ARM Hook''' to extend her ARM upward; this can be used to grab a nearby edge to recover or damage an opponent, the latter of which is further amplified when her boosted Dragon ARM is active.

===ARMS Change===
[[File:SSBU Min Min ARMS Change.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Min Min performing ARMS Change on [[Skyworld]], switching her right ARM to Ramram.]]
'''ARMS Change''' is Min Min's down special move, which lets her cycle between her three ARMS on her right hand. Its operation is similar to [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Pokémon Trainer#Pokémon Change|Pokémon Change]]; she starts off with Ramram, followed by Megawatt, and then Dragon before cycling back to Ramram.

==[[Final Smash]]==
===ARMS Rush===
[[File:SSBU ARMS Rush Move List.png|thumb|200px|ARMS Rush as shown on the Move List]]
When '''ARMS Rush''' is initiated, she reaches out in front of her and any opponents caught in her range will be attacked by the base roster of ''ARMS'' before being finished off by Min Min.
 
The [[Assist Trophy]] [[Assist Trophy#Spring Man|Spring Man]] also uses ARMS Rush as his finishing move.

===Palutena's Guidance===
Min Min shares this stock conversation with all other DLC characters except [[Piranha Plant]]. It was originally used for [[Mewtwo]], [[Lucas]], [[Roy (Fire Emblem)|Roy]], [[Ryu]], [[Cloud Strife|Cloud]], [[Corrin]], and [[Bayonetta]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', who are downloadable fighters in that game.
*'''[[Pit (character)|Pit]]''': Who is THAT?
*'''[[Palutena]]''': I have no data on this fighter. I can't believe it!
*'''[[List of Smash Taunt characters#Viridi|Viridi]]''': It must be an intruder from another dimension!
*'''Pit''': Whoever it is, the goal remains the same: to fight and win!
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' official website===
*''Min Min from the ARMS™ game is coming to the Super Smash Bros.™ Ultimate game as a new playable fighter! This iconic fighter is the first fighter in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol 2 DLC. Spring into action using the Ramram, Megawatt, and Dragon ARMS to keep your opponents at bay, distance is the key! Challenger Pack 6 also includes a new stage, Spring Stadium.''
