ARMS character Min-Min is the latest DLC addition to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate



We knew that ARMS would be getting representation in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but the identity of the character was a secret, until today. Sakurai has shown us the latest character we'll be seeing added to the game's DLC roster. He and the development team are working from home, so we get to see a slightly different presentation video than usual, where we learn that Min Min is headed to Smash. Her limbs are stretchy, just like in Arms, giving the character a lot of range, and the ability to use both the left and right arms for attacks. 18 tracks from Arms will also be added to Ultimate's impressive song list. The character and state will launch on June 29th, for $5.99, or included as part of the Fighters Pass Vol 2. More paid DLC Mii costumes are also coming to the game, where Arms's Ninjara will get representation alongside Heihachi from Tekken, Callie and Marie from Splatoon, and also Fallout's Vault Boy. The amiibo line will also continue, with both Persona 5's Joker and Dragon Quest's Hero launching later this fall.

Would say more people would be interested in the dlc if it was Twintelle getting in rather than spaghetti girl.

and the worst part is he forced this one on them lol, from what i understood even sakurai asked if springman was the main character and the arms director said no, everyone is a main character and sakurai wanted the ninja guy(which was added as a mii costume) but the director just said no and wanted this one so yeah forced stuff.

Also unlike previous fighters pass this one was chosen by nintendo themselves acording to sakurai so im guessing it will be mostly first party characters to promote certain games/series i dont doubt we will see xenoblade 2 character/ a new pokemon from expansion pak or atleast SW/sh, maybe a metroid rep or loz rep to boost hipe for mp4/botw2 or something along those lines.
Unless they're literally putting in Adam Malkovich (which frankly, that would be the single handed most dumb idea ever, literally fucking nobody likes Metroid: Other M), metroid reps are kinda uh impossible. Dark Samus and Ridley are the only other characters in Metroid with any real degree of personality. Regular Metroids aren't interesting enough to make a moveset out of and Mother Brain is an assist trophy. Most of the other bosses are undeniably too big to fit in Metroid (Kraid) or have movesets that don't really fit Smash Bros (Phantoon, most of the gimmick hunters from Prime Hunters, Draygon).

...Adam's the general guy who authorises upgrade usage, correct? Doesn't he also die at some point?

there is many rumours mp4 will continue the story with the hunters from mp3 and there is alot of hunters that could be in smash like sylux and so on, it could be a promotional thing if he does indded or any other appear in mp4.

Huh. She seems fun to play. Mainly, I hope this re-invigorates some interest in Arms. It looked fun, but it seemed like everyone was already done with it by the time I got my Switch in 2018..

I personally think Gandrayda could have a unique gimmick. Does damage with her regular self but weak knockback, has increased knockback but lower damage rate with G-forms or something like that.

I think Nintendo just released it at a bad time. I played it a lot before Splatoon 2 came out. They released Splatoon 2 like 1 or 2 months after Arms and that took a bunch of the player base. It also doesn't help it wasn't marketed as hard too

Yes. He's frankly a lot of the reason that Other M sucks, both in gameplay and in story. Gameplay wise, upgrade authorization is stupid (including a very notable segment in which he essentially forces the player to not use the varia suit in a superheated area, something which runs completely against the design of literally every other Metroid game). A lot of the accusations of sexism in the game's story land in Malkovich's lap as well (there's some small bits that don't fully tie to him, but it's a minority compared to the bulk of abusive stuff between him and Samus).

there is many rumours mp4 will continue the story with the hunters from mp3 and there is alot of hunters that could be in smash like sylux and so on, it could be a promotional thing if he does indded or any other appear in mp4.
Sylux would be cool, I just don't think his moveset is varied enough to make him anything but an echo fighter of ZSS (shock coil being his replacement for her grab).

I personally think Gandrayda could have a unique gimmick. Does damage with her regular self but weak knockback, has increased knockback but lower damage rate with G-forms or something like that.
Hrmm that would be interesting. Maybe give her a kirby-esque gimmick where she can transform into other fighters or copy other fighter moves? (Since Kirby's copy is limited to purely smash attacks, give her the ability to copy any attack). I could see that work. Although, if I'm being honest, I'd much rather want my boy Frozone Rundas in Smash than her if we're doing any of the Prime 3 hunters.

No Twintelle? This game is dead to me.

Nah, but seriously, It's not a surprise, but it is disappointing. Maybe they'll find a way...

The DLC is cool though. Wasn't this suppose to be the last one, or is it "the last one for now" kind of deal?

They're supposed to release a second Fighter's Pass, consisting of six characters; only after that will Ultimate be finished.
Too bad they already wasted a slot...ugh. Hopefully the next five will be more interesting and worthy.

How can you call it wasted even though MinMin is very unique in terms of gameplay?
I hope they consider a Wave Race / 1080 representative and one from Battalion Wars. These franchsises are pretty important to Nintendo´s legacy and would make for awesome stages.
(But I doubt it very much)

Not very popular franchise, and completely the wrong character chosen from that franchise.
They could've chosen Spring Man, Ninjara, Master Mummy, Byte and Barq, Kid Cobra, Helix, Max Brass, Misango, Springtron, or Coyle; any of those guys would have been a better choice than Miss Noodles...

Sometimes that´s kind of the point.

They could´ve chosen MinMin, Spring Man, Ninjara, Master Mummy, Byte and Barq, Kid Cobra, Max Brass, Misango, Springtron, or Coyle. Anything would have been better than Mr. Green Blob.

I can do this with any of the characters. I don´t see how any of them would have made much of a difference. MinMin will be another character that is good at range and against large slow targets, but weak against small quick opponents. However, her being good at range does not come from projectiles, which is sort of unique. I don´t think any of the others would have made the ARMS rep more agile (except Greni... I mean Mr. Ninja, I mean Ninjara)

It was the ARMS dev's choice, was it not? Sakurai said that he probably would've wanted Ninjara.
