Best reveal trailer.

Why she was chosen: Sakurai asked ARMS Producer Kosuke Yabuki who he wanted, as he said "I want Min Min." Sakurai was originally considering Ninjara.

I like her and all, but man, how incredibly disappointing.

Another L for black representation in Smash. Pretty disappointed by this when they had an extremely popular character they could've gone with.

Edit: Changed this to be specifically about black representation.

Garbage. A real opportunity for diversification -- one of the only opportunities among Nintendo's brands for a black woman specifically -- totally squandered.

Stopped watching once it was revealed to be Min Min. Not happy at all. Hoping to see the next character soon but for now I'll hold off on purchasing Fighter's Pass 2 since so far it's a pass.

I desperately wanted Spring Man, but this is fucking rad she looks incredibly fun and this whole showcase just shows how amazing Arms is!

I was hoping it would be a koopa kids situation where they had multiple ARMs fighters as skins and could then just take various character specific traits and combine them into one moveset.

God damn it.

Once again they refuse to put POC representation. Twintelle was an awesome popular character as well and yet they didn't add her...

I'm glad they went with Min Min over Spring Man or another male character, but yeah, pretty disappointed it wasn't Twintelle.

Still holding back on getting the DLC pass until I see more of the characters.

Minority = Asian
Extremely popular = Min Min tops popularity polls

Sorry but everything checks out in your criteria.

They shouldn't have done an announcement of an announcement for this considering it was mad obvious

This is the most disappointing reveal ever for me. Now the possibility of a poc character being added is near 0

Apparently asian people are not minorities?

I mean hell this is the first primary female DLC character we've gotten. What the hell is wrong with you people?
