I'm aware of Elma's secret, as unfortunate as it is, but if that's not good enough, then my last hope is Shantae, who has a 2% chance of getting in, 2 being the number of spirits her series has in Ultimate (herself and Risky Boots).
Shantae is my dream pick.
I now dread the possibility of Min Min becoming a mobster in an edgy ARMS sequel.

To be fair, with Min Min's inclusion now putting all the characters already in the game as spirits back into the discussion, Shantae became a lot more likely.
She's weird for me. She looks fun to play to me, and I'll probably use her quite a bit, but she also looks dull as hell lol. Her playstyle is interesting in terms of creativity for sure though.
I'm more excited about Vault Boy tbh.

In some fairness, Min Min is a fighting game character, so the fact that she's a martial artist is just kind of a natural consequence of the setting and she doesn't stick out amongst the cast for that reason. It is true about the food association though, I hadn't thought about that before.
I'll spare the long details here but back when Smash Ult was first coming out I put together an entire potential moveset for Agent 8, the lead character of the Octo Expansion, normals, specials, grabs, the whole works. There are a ton of weapons and abilities in Splatoon and S2 that aren't covered in Inklings and gives tons of potential for a different playstyle:
E-liter (she even wields it with her amiibo!), Curling bomb, splat brella, splat dualies (useful for dodge rolls too), octobrush, suction bombs, inkjet, splashdown, luna blaster (I made this their down air--meteor potential if you land a direct hit!), the list can go on and on if you want it to.
Like I said before, folks who think Agent 8/Octoling/Marina would have to be an Inkling echo are really just not thinking about it very much. I think if Marina were made playable it would be along with Pearl as an Off the Hook duo character but I think that would still count pretty well.
Yeah good point. What I outlined wouldn't really work as DLC.
Personally, I just don't see why she'd be made playable while other, more popular indie series like Shovel Knight, Undertale and Cuphead could only get assist trophies or Mii outfits.
Just caught up with the presentation - it's really cool how he translates ARMS to Smash!
Almost every song too. Really nice!
It's interesting that they didn't launch this as a shadow drop as one week away seems a little arbitrary, but it's surely worth the wait.

She's white with blue hair
I don't recall her looking that pale but I might just be misremembering
August Direct. Doom Eternal for Switch is finally shown. And with it, the true potential of Bethesda content in Smash.
Rip, and smash, until it is done.
Min Min is still a a stereotypical kung fu user, as seen by the kick attacks and posing that only she has.
There aren't many martial artists (at least in the traditional sense) in ARMS though.
