Much like the other Mii Fighters, the Mii Gunner was perceived lukewarmly on release due to the improvements to their movesets. While the severe nerfs to their mobility were noted, along with the loss of their more infamous camping tools (most notably a shorter forward aerial, weaker [[Gunner Missile]]s, and the nerfs to [[Grenade Launch]]), the buffs to their other moves more than made up for it, as it improved a majority of attacks that were lackluster in ''Smash 4'' (such as forward smash, up aerial and their throws). Overall, they were considered a relatively average "zoner"-type character. Despite this, the Gunner was one of the most obscure characters in competitive play in the early metagame; both the Mii Gunner and {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} were overshadowed by the extremely positive perception of the {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}, who took in most of the Mii Fighter's representation overall. | Much like the other Mii Fighters, the Mii Gunner was perceived lukewarmly on release due to the improvements to their movesets.

As the metagame progressed, Mii Gunner started to see brief yet limited success from players such as {{Sm|Deon}} and {{Sm|Tsumusuto}}. The character received even more success following the end of the online era thanks to the efforts of {{Sm|Capitancito}}, who had taken sets from several top players and consistently placed highly at regional-level tournaments. Despite these results, professionals still agree that the Mii Gunner is significantly outclassed by other zoners with similar playstyles, such as {{SSBU|Samus}} | As the metagame progressed, Mii Gunner started to see brief yet limited success from players such as {{Sm|Deon}} and {{Sm|Tsumusuto}}.

Regardless, Mii Gunner is ranked 61st on the first and current tier list. | ||
