Min Min is a character who will be included as part of the second Fighters Pass. Her inclusion was revealed on June 22, 2020 when Sakurai stated during his sixth Mr. Sakurai Presents that she would be the ARMS Fighter that would be included.

Moveset

A lot of Min Min's moveset is largely unknown, but this is what has been shown in her reveal trailer and Sakurai's demonstration afterwards.

• Jab: Her Kung Fu combo. If you hold the button, she makes a forward punch with the left arm's ARMS extendable, which is always the Dragon.
• Tilts:
  • Up: A wheel kick.
  • Side: A straight punch with her left ARMS extendable.
  • Down: A low, sliding kick. Mega Man, Ren Amamiya and Cloud Strife used this as their down tilt.
• Dash Attack: A flying kick akin to what Fox McCloud does for his Dash Attack.
• Charged Smash Attacks:
  • Side: A forward punch with the dragon. If she charges the move enough, Min Min gives the attack a new effect:
    • The Ramram causes her to launch the spinning projectile at an arc. This also does burn damage.
    • The Dragon fires a laser.
    • The Megawatt becomes electrified, dealing more damage.
  • Up: A somersault kick that can reflect projectiles. Based off how she can reflect projectiles by kicking them away. The somersault kick itself is similar to Kirby’s Up Smash.
  • Down: A split kick similar to what Fox McCloud does for his Down Smash.
• Aerial Attacks:
  • Standard/Neutral: Min Min spins her right ARM around her. This moves range, speed, and power depend on which arm she's using, with Ramram being faster, with less range and damage, Dragon being standard, in between the other two, and Megawatt being slow, with better range and damage.
  • Up: A flip kick.
  • Side: Min Min punches in the appropriate direction with her left ARMS extendable.
  • Down: A diving kick similar to Sonic’s Down Air.
• Grab: Min Min has a tether grab with both ARMS, with slightly less range than her other ARM attacks.
  • Pummel: A knee jab.
  • Throws:
    • Forward: Min Min kicks the opponent away, similarly to Zero Suit Samus.
    • Back: A suplex. Incineroar uses this for his back throw.
    • Up: Min Min kicks the foe upwards.
    • Down: Min Min stomps on the floor.
• Special Moves
  • Standard Special Move: ARMS Punch: As her jab, but with her right arm.
  • Up Special Moves:
    • Grounded: ARMS Jump -- Min Min launches herself upward with the force of both her ARMS. Deals no damage.
    • Aerial: ARM Hook -- Min Min uses her left ARMS extendable to grab the ledge with her left "arm". This is similar to how Byleth can use his Sword of the Creator to latch onto the ledge.
  • Side Special Move: ARMS Punch+: As her Standard Special Move. Can be used while she is moving.
  • Down Special Move: ARMS Change -- Min Min changes her right extendable's "head" to three different weapons from the series: the Dragon, Ramram, and Megawatt.
• Final Smash: ARMS Rush -- Min Min punches forward. If this punch connects with a fighter, Min Min triggers a cinematic where she and six other fighters (Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Ninjara, Twintelle, Mechanica, and Master Mummy) attack the target, with Min Min landing the final blow as she jumps up and fires a blast from the Dragon.

Special Animations

• Stage Entrance: Min Min jumps onto the stage, spinning like a corkscrew.
• Taunts:
  • Up: Min Min performs two (harmless) roundhouse kicks, starting with her left leg. She says, "Hā!" during the first kick and "Yé!" during the second one.
  • Side: Min Min holds both ARMS extendables in front in a crouching stance, then shifts to a crane-like stance that mimics her artwork in ARMS. During the second taunt, she says, "Lāmiàn!" This means "Ramen!" in Chinese.
  • Down: Min Min waves her ARMS extendables through alternating circles before she assumes a crouching stance with her dominant leg outstretched with her ARMS extendables raised upwards.
• Idle Poses:
  • Min Min hops on both her feet and briefly holds her left ARMS extendable above her head as she holds the other behind her.
  • Min Min raises her left ARMS extendable and lowers it in front of her as she assumes a fighting stance.
• Victory Poses: The victory theme comes from the Grand Prix theme from ARMS.
  • 1: Min Min raises her left ARM in the air before holding it out to the side, as she says "Wǒ ài lāmiàn!", which translates to "I love Ramen!" This is based on her first victory pose from ARMS. Her right arm is equipped with the Ramram, and her left arm is powered up.
  • 2: Min Min does a high kick before assuming a defensive stance. This is based on the animation that plays after Min Min wins a round in ARMS. Her right arm is equipped with the Dragon.
  • 3: Min Min spins around doing some kicks and saying, "Xièxie!", which means "Thank you!" in Chinese. Her right arm has the Megawatt. She used this as her second victory pose from ARMS.

Reveal Trailer

Min Min's trailer starts as Captain Falcon and Kirby feast on ramen at the Mintendo Noodle House that she loves to go to as a waitress (later revealed to be Min Min) smiles in the background. Then, an ARMS tournament match plays where Spring Man and Byte & Barq fight. Byte and Barq lose the match and Spring Man celebrates his victory and raises his arms. He notices the Smash invitation behind him which he rushes to. Suddenly, Ribbon Girl surprise-attacks him, punching Spring Man from off-screen and getting her hands on the invite. She loses it when Ninjara attacks her to grab it. He tries to make his getaway, but several other ARMS fighters attack him. Back at the noodle house, Min Min sees the tournament as Captain Falcon finishes his Ramen. The scene shifts back to reveal that the Kid Cobra and Twintelle are still active. Min Min then enters the match, stealing the invite in front of their very eyes. She then attacks them with her ARMS and poses, with her tagline "Min Min Arms Herself!" appearing. After a gameplay montage, Min Min has some Ramen alongside Kirby while Captain Falcon, having taken over her waiter duties for the moment, smiles in the background.
