At least brawl Olimar had more on stage options, and could recover diagonally if he had all 5(?) pikmen. Min Min can kinda only go one direction.. vertical. But unlike brawl Olimar.. we paid for this one to get added.
People really underestimate how strong versatility is in this game. The ability to change from a mega powerful arm to a good combo option arm which has great frame data is super good on its own.
So i was just trying stuff out with min min and if you use double dragon at zero you do A+B arial f smash and if you can get both arms to hit it connects into both lasers and does like 50%
I'm gonna be honest, at first, Min Min seemed like a typical mid-tier. When playing her, I started to see that was an understatement. Maybe being a top-tier is a bit of a stretch, but she is likely to at least be a high-tier. And this has nothing to do with online, this is me testing things out in training mode.
megawatt can twoframe, charge megawatt increases the size of the hitbox and regular megawatt hits most characters already. You do have to space it but I have taken stocks by baiting them to hold ledge, then charge megawatt to catch palu for example. Then I cover their other option with power dragon, jump/ roll
In the actual ARMS game, Megawatt is always beeg and even when it's charged, it just has the little things stick out so it can disperse electricity When I saw Megawatt in smash I was like: uwu smol megawatt
@@cdose Glass-Cannon doesn't always mean a light weight. It mainly means a character with a great advantage and a bad disadvantage, or multiple polarizing attributes. Some examples being Chrom, Mewtwo, and Fox. (I know Fox and Mewtwo are tied for fifth lightest characters, they were just examples.)
Min Min feels like a scrub killer who has some problems in terms of options and recovery, but she does have tools to compensate. I can’t wait to see the comments of people saying “she has to be the greatest character in the game” because their Chrom or Wolf can’t recover against her well. I definitely think that Min Mom’s online meta is just smash attack, nair, and a lot of running away, while her higher level play will be fishing for down tilts, lots of edge guards, and dying at low percents or killing at low percents. TL;DR - she’s good but odds are if you lose to her it is because you are bad at the game and playing online or don’t understand the counterplay.
@@Kiba114 I wrote less than a standard paragraph, and I never said I was good at the game. I understand the game enough to make these observations. I think anyone who knows how to B reverse understands that Min Min is just smash attack, nair, and avoid close combat. I wrote my opinion on a character, you took the time to read it, and then you took the time to say that a person's skill determines if they can have an opinion or not, ignoring the fact that not everyone has to be a top player to understand how the game is played or how people will play the game.
@@dubiouslittlecreature908 there are always factors like a bad matchup but my TL;DR was just for people who weren't going to read my comment and then get mad that I say the character isn't top tier, they're just garbage. My best example of this is when people say K Rool is top tier because of how he walls people out with armor and projectiles. Some people play him and will say he is top tier (even after the original nerf to his succ) and some people hate him and say he is top tier because they can't figure out how to get past the crown. Though my DK has been retired from Elite Smash until Min Min disappears to as obscure as Rosalina players.
what control scheme should I use for a pro controller/joy cons? Usually I use special stick but I think that makes it a tad harder to do moves like her up and down tilt. like sometimes I'll go for an up tilt and input an up smash instead. I'd like to switch to tilt stick but then it feels like I don't have as good control over the arm combos. I think it's like a double edged sword and I'm going to need to find out what works best. Pls let me know if you have any recommendations
You could use up tilt if you don’t want to stale up smash from down tilt. Which is important considering it’s her fastest kill option but it’s not that strong.
I play pac man and I have a couple strategies with trampoline to keep her out of my distance if I want to camp And A few frame counter with hydrant There was one I could keep cheery jabbing stopping her arms but that person must have just sucked because I couldn’t do it since then
Megawatt Go Brrrr Competitive Guide 😂 lol jk jk. In honesty this was a very informative video for a character that can feel rather intimidating to use at first, given her unique play style. Nice upload! 👍🏼
I think she would be better if she had the same “locked” walking-attributes Terry Kazuya Ryu and ken have. In Arms you mostly lock on to one enemy, so it would have made sense to implement that
You control her left arm with A and her right arm with B. So e.g. you can use both arms right after another by doing smash attack with A and smash attack with B right after
I think one of the worst things about min min is her weird jank hit boxes, and strong disjoints. She controls stage for free, and can play keep away really well. Her offensive options and kill options are too fast and too far away. She edgeguards for free. But the worst part of it, is she can't go boxing ring :(
Dear ESAM, I watched you play Min Min in a couple videos and now I'm killing with her. I don't even own a Switch. I tried her out before and couldn't get the hang of her and yet the next time I played I was wrecking my friend. The only thing that happened in between is that I watched some of your videos of you playing her. So thanks! And please do more Min Min content!
LELSlayer Basically I’m saying it’s essential to getting out of situations when she’s too close to her opponent and it’s extremely good at that function

"Min Min is top tier. She wins against Little Mac and DK." I mean... ok. I understand that I'm picking one sentence out of a full video, but you should really try to be a little more convincing lmao, especially because that's your first sentence.

Press the a button harder than usual
Just like the difference between a short hop and a full hop, if you're not buffering it all the time
And reverse Ftilt go out with no problem for me
Way to pick up the torch from Zero in showing off the new character.

How come we don’t see more people change arms in the air is it easier compared to changing arms while on the ground ?
I haven’t watched the full video, but her propensity to get edgeguarded makes me think she can’t be top tier on that alone

@@someghostinthewild Mario? Am I missing something? He has a way better recovery then minmin
how do you do both arms right after another?
You control her left arm with A and her right arm with B. So e.g. you can use both arms right after another by doing smash attack with A and smash attack with B right after
Do you think that Min Min beat sword character like Chroy or Shulk?
