Min Min revealed as ARMS rep in Smash Ultimate

It's kind of funny to me how an ARMS character made it in.
You see all of these characters coming from iconic, really popular or widely regarded as, at least, great titles... then you have ARMS LOL

Is that really where we are now?

Asians aren't minorities in an Asian game
Apologizes here guys I meant specially black not minority. Changed my statement. Apologies for any offense.
You mean to tell me Spring Man ISN'T the most beloved character in the game?
She has all the characteristics of white beauty standards: light-toned skin, green eyes and blond hair. It doesn't matter much that she's canonically chinese in the context of demanding diverse-looking characters, especially dark-skinned ones.
That was probably the last genuinely good chance for a black character to make it in too, sigh
Context.
Smash has no black characters, and Twintelle had by far the best chance.
Wow, there are some ridiculously bad takes in this thread.
I'm a fan of both characters and am glad that a female POC has entered the game.
Shame on some of you.

This is a really shitty way to put it. Surely you can understand why some people wanted that representation finally right?

Whitewashed Asian is considered a minority apparently
Not when they are super common and black, amerindians, Arabs etc aren't
That's kinda beside the point if people wanted her and they're disappointed she didn't make the cut. Calling the game garbage because she didn't is what's throwing me lmao
Never played ARMs so I have no real horse in this race. I guess the fist/gun combo is a cool concept for a Smash character?
Terry isn't the main character of King of Fighters.

Fair enough
I sympathize with wanting Twintelle in, I think it would have been great for diversification of the roster. But Min Min is the most popular character in the game, and she's still a female rep (which is also important).
Nintendo got to market that game
Its understandable but I don't think people should be dismissing another minority because of it. It has already shown that some people don't consider her a minority worth representing
Min Min is a cool character and I'm at least glad it's a woman.
But I'm disappointed it's not Twintelle. Nintendo had an opportunity to add a darker skinned character and missed it.
