The “Ramen Bomber” has joined Smash‘s illustrious roster.

Late last week, Nintendo announced that the director of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Masahiro Sakurai, would host a brief presentation on Monday morning to unveil the next DLC addition to the game’s roster. Several months ago, it was announced that this new character would come from ARMS, another fighting game produced by Nintendo as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch, but it was not revealed who the fighter was. The new fighter was officially revealed this morning, and as many fans speculated, it was Min Min.


As is the case in her home game, Min Min’s arms can stretch long distances and strike foes with special gloves. She can switch these gloves on the fly between the Ramram, a boomerang-like weapon, the Megawatt, a large, slow, electrical attack, and her signature Dragon, which fires a small laser. By throwing foes, Min Min also charges one of her arms into a larger, dragon-like form, becoming stronger. According to Sakurai, Min Min was actually selected for the fighter slot at the behest of Kosuke Yabuki, the producer of ARMS.

In addition to Min Min, a new ARMS-themed stage, Spring Stadium, will be added to the game, and will be given to all players who purchase Min Min’s DLC. Spring Stadium also comes with a variety of music tracks from ARMS. Sakurai also revealed that aside from Min Min, the game will be receiving several more costume packs for Mii Fighters, including Ninjara from ARMS, Heihachi from Tekken, Callie and Marie from Splatoon, and Vault Boy from Fallout. Lastly, Sakurai revealed that amiibo figures for the DLC characters are currently in development, with figures for Joker and Hero slated for a fall 2020 release.

Min Min’s DLC pack will release on June 29 for $5.99, though it can also be obtained along with the future DLC fighters as part of the Fighters Pass Vol. 2.
