Congratulations, Min Min! ARMS character(s) for Smash discussion

[MisterMike]

Figured I'd share this video I made.

Spirits don't disconfirm!

Remember when people were SO SURE that you could fit all the ARMS characters onto one fighter?

lol

Well they still could've. Not that I mind only having one ARMS character, though. Min Min is a great choice and I like how well they implimented the gameplay of ARMS into her moveset.

Pink Min for the Wink Win :D

Pretty sure that's my main right there.

Her red alt is really cute too, as is her black and orange halloween alt.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

I'm a bit late, but I'm really happy with how the moveset looks so far. Very creative and unique! And the Dragon arm lasers are definitely different from the original game, that what worried me the most about Min-Min before the reveal.

Definitely gonna try to play her, she may be the most intersting DLC to me with Hero. And I'm happy to see Coyle making a cameo on the stage, as well as her music

Spring Stadium wasn't a bad choice, but if they had to pick a stage that didn't belong to Min Min, I would've preferred it be Sky Arena, considering it's more story relevant and just cooler. I think the reason that they didn't use Ramen Bowl is that a bowl shaped stage might look awkward in a 2D game.

Really like what they did with the Dragon Arms. I was worried that the focus on lasers might take away from the long range punching aspect of the character, but having them simply be regular punching gloves that can also fire lasers works really well.

At any rate, it does open the door for more semi-echo variants on her gameplay in the future. The only issue is that continued fan support will be necessary, seeing as ARMS currently doesn't have a sequel.

I mean it's absolutely gonna have a sequel by the time Smash's next entry comes. They'll just pull an isabelle and turn Spring Man and possibly others into semi-clones.

Brandon summed up today in a nutshell. (Erma anyone?)

Here's hoping Crash can join her someday:

Coco is looking real concerned for the plumbing.

 

[kool2419]

While Twintelle was my number 1 choice i`m kinda cool with having Min Min.

 

[SwitchButton]

Do you guys think that things would have gone differently had Minmin not won the Party Crash tourney?

I wonder if people would have acted differently during it if they had known that they were possibly fighting for a smash spot

I'm not sure. Sakurai did say his personal choices were between Min Min and Ninjara. Don't think it hurt any, tho.

In the meantime, it would be nice if Udon's tie-in comic can get out of its troubled development phase.

 

[NOSTARSICK]

Did they announce a time that Min Min would be available? Or just the date?

 

[PK-remling Fire]

She's going to be available on the 29th
*edit: Misread the post, sorry

 

[Guybrush20X6]

They said the 29th in the US one and the 30th in the UK one so maybe we can deduce the timeframe from that.

 

[fogbadge]

Well there they go picking someone other than my most wanted. i`m not buying this pass but congrats to Min Min fans i guess.

take it from a toad fan, you get used to it/come to expect it

So, for anyone following this specific artist...

...This is gonna look like the Tower of Babel by the end of next year.

 

[EarlTamm]

Question, is the design they used for Min Min pre transformation based on any Min Min appearance in extended ARMS media?

Edit:
Meant to put this in her social thread, but here certainly works as well. Glad I didn't upload this to some other random thread.

No, but it wouldn't be surprising if this was used as inspiration for depicting her pre-ARMS puberty... if it isn't actually taken from the ARMS comic behind the scenes.

Im glad Min-Min put in a good word for Captain Falcon at her parents noodle shop. Dude needed work badly he's been unemployed living in a cardboard box on the side of Mute City for years! Those SNES F-Zero rerelease residual checks can only take a man so far... Thank you Min-Min!

Found another one with Crash.

To celebrate Min Min getting in, plus the fact that I just like recoloring Smash Bros renders, I created this fun little "what if" alt color for the girl of the hour!

[EarlTamm]

Just realized, the poll above should probably be taken care of now that the reveal has happened.

when i got close up of her green eye brows i thought it was coyle for 5 seconds, wondering why she was in a noodle shop

And thank you to Kirby for being a good friend and taking Falcon out for dinner.

There's something appropriate about Min Min being placed right in front of another fighting game lead.

 

[Aetheri]

Very happy to see my favourite Arms fighter make it to Smash!

It still feels unreal that Min Min managed to make it over Spring Man, she felt like such a pipedream at first. During early speculation it was always assumed that Spring Man would be the guy. Then his assist trophy just sort of killed any consideration for Arms due to the timing. Then the first reveal stating an Arms fighter came along and just made it seem a lot more plausible for Min Min. It wasn't really until I started to notice just how popular she was, I mean I knew she was popular but not THAT crazy popular, especially considering Twintelle was also pretty damn popular when she was first revealed for Arms. But I guess that's the power of just simply asking nicely.

I'm also liking her new alts but I'll definitely be going for her black and copper coloured alt!

Min Min wasn't hinted because of Bayonetta, and never did! Why are people thinking it did?

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Character bases, shield glitch, morphing body parts, etc.

Unless every character that's not an Echo is made from scratch and none of us know any better.

after this many years of smash speculation i must conclude that we dont

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Do you guys think that things would have gone differently had Minmin not won the Party Crash tourney?

Kind of. Though, it wouldn't effect who the Arms creator would have chosen. Min Min was the chosen one from the beginning I believe.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

I will say, I do like the possible explanation TV Tropes provided here.

Clothes Make the Superman: Without using her ARMS at all and not wearing her mask, she can appear as a completely-normal human. She needs to wear her mask to properly use and control her ARMS however, otherwise very unpredictable and unfortunate malfunctions will occur.

So, basically, don't try to be a hero if the mask isn't on and you're golden.

That is possible.

Spring Man could be a semi-clone who uses his own ARMS. His ARMS would have different properties from Min Min's.

Min Min's ARMS
Dragon - Beam type; Fire attribute; Medium weight
Megawatt - Heavy type; Electric attribute; Heavy weight
Ramram - Curve type; Fire attribute; Medium weight

Spring Man's ARMS
Toaster - Glove type; Fire attribute; Medium weight
Boomerang - Curve type; Wind attribute; Medium weight
Tribolt - Multi-Shot type; Stun attribute; Light weight

Spring Man also has the ability to make his ARMS permanently charged when he is at low damage... it is somewhat similar to how Lucario's Aura works in Smash. Imagine Min Min with Lucario's Aura... that's Spring Man.

He'll also need all those kicks to be something else. And Min Min attacks with her legs a lot for a fighter meant to attract more attention to ARMS.

Personally I'd take a leaf out of Mega Man's book for his Down B, in a way that looks kind of like one of his victory screens.

 

[fogbadge]

i would have been kind of funny if the trailer ended with all the fighters not in the battle for the invite in the ramen shop only to notice what had just happened

 

[Dinoman96]

I think Spring Man and other ARMS fighters would more suited as "pseudo-clones". Essentially, less Falco and Isabelle and more Wolf and Lucas.

That explanation is given in game, but it states that the arms are simply hard to control without the masks, not that they turn into human arms. Her having actual human arms directly contradicts the lore, unless the Smash trailer is trying to show us a stylized version of her gaining the ARMS ability. In game, when they're shown with 'normal' arms, it's actually just them tightly coiling up their arms to function as human arms.

 

[MattX20]

I don't think we're ready for ARMS echo fighters yet.

 

[Koopaul]

Honestly I feel like ARMS 2 will probably come out before the next Smash. Wondering if Spring Man will be a clone of Min Min is kind of crazy since it's going to be so far off.
