Min Min revealed as ARMS rep in Smash Ultimate

You can acknowledge the loss of opportunity. That is completely understandable. Twintelle would've been an awesome pick as she's one of the few PoC characters in a Nintendo series.
However, you can do that without putting down other minority representation. Already you had several posters putting her down as not a minority which is kind of disheartening.
Sorry i couldnt arituclate my response better. Im just talking of people that are now hating on the choice and saying that everything but twintelle is trash, becuase it was a response drectly from someone talkign about that message.
I understand people wanting more black character in the game, or any game for that matter, and I infact want them also.
we would have got ninjara if it wasn't for yabuki, praise him.
I mean, not really? There's obviously a pick that would've pleased most of the people complaining lmao
To be fair that might be just one of the factors that lead her to be chose, Min Min won the in-game popularity contest, so she's by far the most popular ARMS character among ARMS fans.
Chinese characters performing Kung Fu are far from lacking in the video game space in terms of represenation. Hell, Chinese characters in games are pretty common in general.
How often do we see Black and Brown characters in games that aren't a blatant stereotype?

Yeah, I bought it at launch, sometimes I try to get into it, I just can't
User Banned (2 Weeks): Dismissive and inaccurate commentary concerning Asian representation
Ryu.
Ken
Pokemon Trainer (and if you're gonna say that doesn't count, MinMin sure as fuck ain't Chinese)
Joker
Corrin (see Pokemon Trainer)
And those are just the ones where there is 0 ambiguity
Her hair is yellow because noodles are yellow.
Her eyes are green because the dragon is green and it's one of them main colors in her color scheme.
it really is not as deep as some of you make it out to be. There's no agenda, no conspiracy.
A multi-character slot was never realistic considering the smaller dev team.
People have been asking for black representation for years, what the fuck are some of you even on about lmao
God bless Sakurai, but thank god he consulted the ARMS producer because with the passionate Min Min and Twintelle fans, we could all agree that Ninjara would be a harsh blow and literally just be another countless male character in Smash (no offense to Ninjara fans).
The cop character was the first to get their ass beat in the trailer, and the rep wasn't Spring Man, so I see this as a win
Yeah, some people have wanted a canonically black character, not merely any PoC

Twintelle is overall the game's #2 in popularity, tbh. Not only here.
Min Min being the obvious #1
what nonsense.
Really doing the whole real poc vs a fake poc rhetoric, wow
as if real people don't face this issue every day in their daily lives, especially those of mixed descent.
When white people or even people of their own race tell them they don't count because X reasons or they have/don't have X appearance features
people literally parroting that type of racism in this thread.
Didn't expect Min Min. But the video definitely sold me on her. Just glad the IP (and dat soundtrack) are finally brought into Smash.
This is a pretty good summary of ARMS headline characters really.
Man her ability to use A for one arm and B for the other and use both SIMULTANEOUSLY is gonna be fantastic. Counters can eat fist now, and honestly with her grabs giving her THAT MUCH damage on her dragon arm I doubt she's gonna have issues getting KO. Overall, she seems solid. Full screen simultaneous fighting, steerable attacks, crazy angles, boomerangs and counter snuffing. Huge stage recovery tools and her ledge guard game is gonna piss folks off tremendously given she is out of range of most recovery attacks and still able to obstruct em. The range on that dragon fire and boomerang have me pumped. So much I can do with that.
To be fair, the bar has always been much lower for first parties over third parties. I can see them adding a 6th slot in this dlc to do one more first party this time around, too.
Twintelle was my #1, but Min Min was my second choice so I'm fine with this.
I'm just glad a female fighter was chosen here, and I think Min Min represents ARMS very well and has a moveset that is very compatible with Smash. It's also great that ARMS switching is incorporated into her gameplay (something that should've happened with Byleth, too).

Apparently you can only be racist against black PoC on Era. Asian minorities are fair game to shit on.
Not sure if you're joking or not
This is where I hate this forum the most
This the only thing that might make me cop, ARMS main theme is so good, as are the other tracks
there has to be a way to express disappointment with the lack of black characters in smash without absolutely shitting on and minimizing other minority representation in the process
we got people in here literally arguing that min min is not even chinese because her hair is noodle colored

I approve of the Morrigan-ing Min Min is getting for ARMS, helps she was the one I picked when I was briefly playing the game.
One character isn't enough to get me the Season Pass though so it'll probably be awhile before I pick it up (if I pick it up).

Trailer was fantastic.
Would've preferred Twintelle, but Min Min was my second choice, so I'm fine with this. Min Min also won the Party Crash and was a favorite of the developer as well, so that's a big long one-two punch. I know many are disappointed, but personally I'm just glad we have another female fighter. Hopefully we'll get some more.

Awesome to see Min Min added to Smash, she looks great. Love the addition of so much of the fantastic ARMS soundtrack as well.
The reaction of certain individuals isn't at all surprising.

Twintelle is obviously gonna be candidate number 2 for an ARMS character in the next game, now that we know there's not an "official" protagonist according to the developers.
Her hair was based on noodles, not because of blondie. Not everything is about the West.
The Ninjara mains (including myself) got him as a Mii character, so we're all good.
