The whole world collectively frowned and sighed when it was revealed an ARMS fighter would kick off Fighters Pass 2, and then they went and made Min Min the worst character fucking ever, if anyone I know ever mains this piece of shit I am NOT inviting them to my birthday.

My least favorite DLC fighter somewhat for personal reasons. I can see why a rep from this series was chosen but I never really gave a shit about Arms as a series so I found it hard to care about this inclusion at all. Min min never really grew on me as a character either. A lot of her moves function the same and the character's moveset never allows for any interesting playstyles. It just feels like punching from a distance and keeping the opponent far is the only trick up her sleeve and I just don't find this enjoyable at all.
Inclusion: I don't think I've seen a reveal with such completely deflated hype. I like ARMS as a game well enough, but I didn't think a character would work well as a fighter. Them revealing it was an ARMS rep may have caused less of a meltdown on the official reveal, but it left the buildup without much interesting speculation. I'm glad Min-Min was chosen, she was one of the strongest choices out of them. (Even if I didn't play her personally)
Fighter: Remember when I said I didn't think an ARMS rep would work well as a fighter? It turns out... I was right! Min Min might be the most boring character in the whole game, all she does is throw out long hitboxes and pray to god you don't get up close. Unlike other characters that people consider lame, her entire gimmick just doesn't even allow her to do anything interesting or fun in an unoptimal way. She's a rare case in the game where it feels like she was a failed experiment for working an unconventional character into the game.
Stage: For all the problems I mentioned earlier with Arms being included, Spring Stadium is a pretty awesome stage. It has a fairly standard layout that's comfortable to navigate, but also has a fun gimmick of the springboards that make the matches feel much more dynamic. It's one of the stages I most frequently turn on for casual matches.
Music: ARMS's soundtrack is super underrated as far as Nintendo music goes and I'm glad all of the stage themes made it in here. [NAME REDACTED] is probably my favorite out of them, but all of them are great.
This pack is really funny because really I like everything about it outside of the actual character.
