Explaining Min Min's Magnificent Hitboxes (Smash Ultimate)

It's time to look at a new DLC character, it's been a while since last time, but now that the next fighter pass is live. There certainly will be more to come. Today's fighter is Min Min. Certainly a unique character. This character is pretty complex, and has a lot of moving parts. There are a lot of things to cover, so hopefully this will cover most of it.

[@memperkasaya2078]

sorry to bother you. I was on your discord server, and apparently I posted something that broke your rules last time. I eventually joined back a couple months later and exclaimed that I’ve learned my lesson and won’t do it again. However, the mods still decided to ban me over a past mistake, even though I did not break your rules when rejoining. I am really interested in smash hitboxes and your channel, and I would like to be apart of your community. Please consider inviting me back. I know banning someone for a past mistake technically isn’t a violation of your rules, but it does seem a bit scummy, don’t you think?

[@deathpie24]

The fact that they still use Captain Falcon as a base to build off of is cool As he was built off of the original version of what smash was before Nintendo was stamped over it

[@tab-xp8fb]

I've heard most dlc characters do that too, and some other ones. Probably just speculation for some

[@nerddwarf]

The "Dragon King" fighter model was given to Captain Falcon. His moveset is 100% original for Super Smash Bros. The anime came out AFTER smash 64. Smash 64 is the origin of Falcon Punch "Dragon King: A Fighting Game" would still have been a Nintendo game. Sakurai thought it was a good idea to put Mario, Samus, Fox, and Captain Falcon over the models when he first showed it to higher-ups; because before that point he had been making it on his own time, hoping a greater chance of approval for the game. Nintendo liked their popular characters in one game and greenlighted that project instead. Sakurai was happy with this

[@nerddwarf]

All returning characters will be based off of themselves

[@hyliandoctor]

You should've talked about how the tracking works with the Dragon Arm's laser. Like the maximum range that the dragon will tilt its beam. Plus focusing on how long the Ram Ram hitbox lasts.

I absolutely love this character! As one of the small few who likes ARMS, I’m glad it got a playable rep in the game-even if it would’ve been better to have them in the base game. While Smash has turned into a celebration of gaming, it is a Nintendo All-Star first in formost, and I love when they incorporate their more niche IPs into the roster, each iteration has had at least one of them!

Question: do the arm attacks get stronger or weaker as they travel?

[@ptato3010]

Technically, stronger

[@Carson2127]

I believe the smash tips said its strongest a little after they're launched, and it gets weaker from there. It's also very weak right as its launched. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@sourduck1251]

Almost. From experience, the very beginning and very end are a bit weaker, and during 3/4 extention of the arms, its at the strongest.

[@muno]

Falcon kick is there probably because minmin’s down b doesn’t have a proper animation (it just changes while in crouch, idle air, etc), so they never needed to overwrite it

[@Ilandria.]

Minmin has made me switch to claw grip and remap grabs & jump to new buttons. :D

[@theafterburner6231]

Pretty sad that every character has a better version of the Belmonts moves. She is a better Belmont essentially

[@Shiny_Rayz]

But she sucks at up close options, which the Belmonts still do that better than her, and personally, Belmonts still have a better overall ledge trapping kit than Min Min with her arms...

[@YounesLayachi]

@@Shiny_Rayz yeah... The Belmonts will keep you at ledge and rack up damage, Min min will straight up KO you lol

Honestly I have played an ass ton of Belmonts and unlike min Belmonts are infinitely better at dealing with folks getting in their face. Can't ignore some of the best projectiles in the game... They are really even with regards to areas they threaten, axe being able to cover more options/stage positions than min mins arms.

[@moronribbons5774]

4:58 I MEAN, THANK GOD, SHE ALREADY HAS THE UNNECESSARY REFLECTOR UP SMASH

[@alexstewart9592]

That reflector is entirely nessesary, as it is one of her two special abilities from ARMS, the other being her left arm's Dragon Arm transformation. In ARMS, while dashing in any direction mid-air or dashing backwards on the ground, she will automatically kick and deflect any punches that come near her, a trait that can only be represented in Smash by some form of reflector on a kicking move.

[@infinityJKA]

The reflector kick is in arms

[@Lightmagician60]

"None of her grabs combo" Are you sure about that?

@Student Rohan Joshi back throw then side smash with laser on bowser (or anyone with bad recovery) at 0%

None of her grabs true combo into anything. However, they do put the opponent into good followup position; back throw & forward throw are the best for that, in my opinion.

[@barmacidic2257]

Lightmagician60 if it’s not a true combo, then it doesn’t really count imo

[@Zobi_YT]

I know a lot of people never touched Arms so I don't blame you for not noticing but there is a reason why her dash attack was planned to reflect. In Arms Min Min is a rush down character that can close distance really easy because one of her abilities is deflecting attacks with a kick mechanic. The dash attack looks very similar to that move both in looks and functionality so they probably tested giving it a reflective property. It might've been a little too much so they scrapped it and made her up smash reflect instead, because it be very out of character if she didn't at least have 1 kick move that reflects projectiles. I still find it funny that Arms is so odd that the biggest rush down character in the game got translated into a zoner when adapted to smash.
