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.
