The Arms fighter Min Min is the first character to arrive as part of Fighter Pass 2, which will bring a total of six new characters to the party brawler over the course of the year. We knew back in March that this first newcomer would be arriving from the Arms universe, but today marks our first look at them in action. As part of the showcase, Sakurai gave us a good look at the character’s moveset, as well as the new stage which arrives with them. 

Min Min is an unusual character, having separate control inputs for her left and right arms. For standard attacks, the A button controls her left arm, while the B button controls her right arm. In this manner, you can perform smash attacks with both left and right arms, even firing them in different directions. Here’s a breakdown of all the moves we’ve seen so far.

Jab: Min Min unleashes a quick combo of kicks, ending in a rapid flurry. Holding A fires the arm out.

Forward tilt: Min Min’s throws her arm forward a medium distance. Min Min can move forward and backward while using this move.

Up Tilt: Wheel Kick. An rapid overhead kick that hits in an arc over Min Min's head.

Down Tilt: Unknown.

Dash Attack: A quick jump kick that hits directly in front of her.

Grab: Min Min throws both arms forward a long distance, grabbing any opponents hit. After a successful grab, Min Min powers up her left arm, making it more powerful for several attacks.
