Minso is a Cop character who has basically everything going for her. While her defense is somewhat below average, she easily compensates with her incredible neutral and oppressive offense. Ironically, the only thing that prevents Minso from breaking the game apart is the game itself, which prevents her from spamming her best move 24/7.
Playstyle
Minso is an offensive powerhouse with the most oppressive okizeme in the game.
Strengths
Weaknesses
Ignorant Neutral: Minso's kick normals are very long, making them great hitconfirmable pokes. On top of that, she can always throw out a 66A or AAB in midrange, in case she ever gets close
Outstanding Okizeme: Minso's okizeme is one of the best in the game, at least because it's BC-safe. It also loops into itself on hit
Great Mix: Minso's c.K coupled with her crouching normals makes for a very deadly 50/50 at close range; even more so during okizeme
Charlie: Minso's dog, Charlie, is the most versatile move in the game. His unrivaled utility allows Minso to get very creative with how she uses him
Needs the Knockdown: Minso is at her strongest when she's next to her opponent during okizeme. While her pokes are great, overreliance on them can very easily make her lose the round
Below-average Defense: Minso's main BC options are either slow (AAB) or unorthodox (Charlie), thus limiting the options she can block punish
Input System: Due to how inputs are registered in VG, Minso isn't allowed to spam AAB 24/7, and thus has to play the video game once in a while

Key move, and possibly the best attack in the entire game. Since it's completely invincible starting from frame 1, Minso can liberally abuse it in neutral to force her way in (at least if the game lets her do it). While it can't iframe through projectiles, she can still CS during the move, allowing her to block low projectiles. Said invincibility also makes it incredibly safe in offense, since it's now quite literally unpunishable. The only downside of this move is that it's tied to the game's weird input system, preventing Minso from spamming this move 24/7.

The only proximity normal in the game that hits crouchers. It also does wonders up close since it hits overhead, and can be used in conjunction with her crouching normals in order to perform 50/50s.

Minso's other poke, it's also her largest normal. While it does more damage than 5B, it's also slightly more commital since 2K has more recovery.

A godsend of a move. It allows Minso to quickly approach while also punishing projectile at the right distance. The best part is that it's entirely unblockable AND grants a knockdown, letting Minso run offense very easily. Since it's an unblockable OTG, 66A also allows Minso to bypass the game's combo limit and perform longer combos than almost everyone else. Its only downsides are its super high startup (slowest move in the game) and the fact that its locked behind ammo, so Minso can't spam it all day long (it also makes it a rather subpar BC option). One of the best moves in the entire game.
Can be cancelled into Charlie on hit

Minso calls her dog (Charlie), who will then run at very high speed through the screen.
Character-defining, extremely versatile move that can be used in a myriad of ways. It can be used for dealing with zoning, covering Minso's approaches, BCing, enforcing mix-ups at close range... You name it, Charlie can probably do it. However, it's mostly useful during okizeme, where he can protect Minso from BCs, giving her a second chance at mixing the opponent up should they guess right once. This isn't all Charlie is useful for, though: he can also be used in conjunction with c.K to create an unblockable setup which will knock the opponent down on hit, looping Minso's okizeme.
Charlie's utility doesn't stop there, so don't hesitate to be creative with him!
Charlie will not disappear when hit by another projectile. However, he also won't destroy projectiles on contact
Hitbox hits extremely low, so it's somewhat easy to low crush Charlie

Basically a powered-up j.K. Used similarly to j.K, except instead of being used as an IOH it knocks the opponent down on hit
Can hit cross-up, but it's very janky
Can't be used by player 2 if they're using a controller

Standard Cop throw that is buffed by the fact that it's on Minso. If she somehow lands it, she's dealing at least 50% damage and puts you in her signature okizeme. Applies handcuffs on hit
Does 120 damage against an already cuffed opponent

Combos
Midscreen
5B > AAB > 66A > Charlie (460 damage)
Poke combo that leads into Charlie oki. Does decent damage for a poke confirm
2C/c.K, 2C/c.K > AAB > 66A > Charlie (720/800 damage)
Close range combo. Usually done after BCing with AA. Leads into Charlie oki
(Charlie comes out), {empty hop 5B}/{walk c.K} > (Charlie hits) > AAB > 66A > Charlie (560/580 damage)
Combo for when Charlie is used in neutral. c.K is the ideal followup (especially at close range), but jumping is easier to land (and better if a projectile is on the screen). Leads into Charlie oki
Jump-in combo, if you feel like jumping for whatever reason. The first AAB must be buffered while jumping.
Throw, walk c.K, [microwalk c.K]*4 > AAB > 66A, Charlie (1040 damage)
Max damage combo, and a ToD if HP was set on 1000. Easier to land than most throw combos. While it's possible to sneak in a 6th c.K, the opponent can easily stand up and get hit by AA, thus ruining the combo.
