Nintendo is on a roll with constantly updating Super Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with new fighters, patches, and fighters adjustments every few months. Just this week, Masahiro Sakurai (director of Smash Bros.), hosted a livestreamed presentation to reveal more gameplay of the recently released fighter, Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. At the end of the presentation, it was announced that Pyra/Mythra would be released later that day on the Switch eShop for download.
Along with the new fighter pack, Nintendo also released a new update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, titled 11.0.0. The new patch fixes some various gameplay issues, but most importantly, the update comes loaded with a ton of fighter balance adjustments, otherwise known as nerfs and buffs to the Smash community. And among these changes, it seems that Min Min from ARMS has received a couple of nerfs, which has led to the character to start trending on Twitter today.

Min Min fans have started to tweet about some of Min Min's nerfs and there are also some tweets out there with people sharing very impressive fanart of the ARMS fighter.
For players who are interested in knowing what exactly got nerfed, here's the list of the moves and what changed in the 11.0.0. patch:
- Air Dodge - Matched the vulnerability with other fighters when performing an air dodge.
- Side Smash Attack - Shortened the amount of time you can charge a smash attack.
- Side Smash Attack - Reduced the launch distance for the dragon's lasers while using the Dragon ARM.
- Other - Matched the vulnerability with other fighters when falling in place.
While these are four separate nerfs, they won't impact Min Min players too much. One of the only notable changes in the list would have to be the reduction of the launch distance for the dragon's lasers. This must have been a very over-powered move for Min Min, which of course, caused Nintendo to decide to bring it down a notch.
Challenger Pack 9 is now available for purchase for those who have yet to acquire the entire Fighter's Pass. Pyra and Mythra's pack can be purchased for $5.99 separately, or players can spend $29.99 to gain access to all four released fighters, and they will also have access to the two upcoming fighters that have yet to be announced by Nintendo.
Although Nintendo has yet to confirm the existence of a third Fighter's Pass, it's rumored that it could be on its way.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is currently available for the Nintendo Switch.
