Today, let's cover Mimi, the last of Count Bleck's followers that we'll be covering. Mimi is a self-proclaimed beauty with the ability to transform herself into anything at will, including a terrifying giant spider form. You first encounter her in Merlee's Castle, where she has impersonated the sorceress and enslaved everyone living there. After that, you face her a few more times, but in the end, just like O'Chunks, she proves her loyalty to Count Bleck above all else and helps you take down Dimentio.

Most of her battles take place in her spider form, but I figure in Smash, she'd be in her standard appearance mostly, with her spider-form showing up in more special circumstances. While her mimicry is her most important feature, most of her combat-based moves are centered around her use of rubees, a type of currency she is obsessed with. These include shooting one from the top of her head like a missile, dropping one from above, sending forth a tidal wave of them, sending them out in a circle and in a straight line, and finally spinning through the air with them sticking out of her body like razor blades. I think we have enough.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Rubee Missile
This one is one of her most basic attacks, basically she will fire a Rubee from the top of her head which will then fire after an enemy as a projectile.

Side B: Rubee Wave
She will summon up a wave of Rubees that will move forward, doing damage with every individual Rubee that makes contact.

Up B: Rubee Razor
Mimi will spin really fast upward into the air with four Rubees sticking out of her body, doing damage like razor blades.

Down B: Mimic
This is such an important part of Mimi's character that it needs to be represented in someway. It could be a purely aesthetic change, adopting the appearance of an enemy but retaining Mimi's own moves, or it could be a full change like Doopliss and other shapeshifters like Ditto will. I'm not sure yet. You pick as you will.

Final Smash: Spider Form
Mimi will transform into her spider form and crawl around the stage, doing damage with her legs, while firing off Rubees in every direction.

Entrance: She'd appear as one of her opponents, using their entrance and everything, and then turn back into Mimi with a giggle.

Taunts: "Mimimimimimi!" Sending her head spinning for a second. Transforming into an opponent for a second and checking herself out. A little curtsy. So on.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we will begin the bosses that don't particularly have any connection to the main villains of their respective games, starting with Croco!
