'''Mii Brawlers''' ({{ja|格闘タイプ|Kakutō Taipu}}, ''Hand-to-Hand Fighting Type'') are one of the three different types of {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s that appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', along with {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s and {{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}s. | '''Mii Brawlers''' ({{ja|格闘タイプ|Kakutō Taipu}}, ''Hand-to-Hand Fighting Type'') are one of the three different types of {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s that appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', along with {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s and {{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}s. | ||
The Mii Brawler is unranked | The Mii Brawler is unranked in the current [[tier list]], but was 56th out of 58 characters on the third tier list. Compared to the other Mii Fighters, Mii Brawlers boast formidable mobility, attack speed, and damage that is further strengthened by their great ground and air games, giving them a versatile combo game and excellent KOing ability once they find an opening. | ||
However, the Mii Brawler is heavily held back by its poor range, which leads to a poor approach when combined with their very lackluster projectile in [[Shot Put]]. Mii Brawler also suffers from one of the worst recoveries in the game, as none of its special moves provide significant upward distance, and most of them are easy to edgeguard or [[gimp]] against, most notably its standard recovery move [[Soaring Axe Kick]], which cannot sweetspot ledges until the peak of the move. While some of its [[custom move]]s can alleviate some of these problems, the universal ban on custom moves since [[EVO 2015]] has prevented players from taking advantage of these. As a result, Mii Brawler has had poor tournament representation, despite some decent tournament results in the early ''Smash 4'' days when customs were legal. | However, the Mii Brawler is heavily held back by its poor range, which leads to a poor approach when combined with their very lackluster projectile in [[Shot Put]].

The Mii Brawler has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in game updates. [[1.0.6]] nerfed the Brawler's damage output, but its neutral infinite and special moves have been improved to compensate. The Mii Brawler also slightly benefits from the changes to shield mechanics in 1.1.0 and [[1.1.1]], due to it increasing the utility of its moves multi-hit nature and benefiting their high [[hitlag]]. | The Mii Brawler has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in game updates so far.

The Mii Brawler was met with great expectations and considered by many to be a potential high-tier character in the early metagame, due to their highly aggressive playstyle that stood out in comparison to the other Mii Fighters | The Mii Brawler was met with great expectations and considered by many to be a potential high-tier character in the early metagame, due to their highly aggressive playstyle that stood out in comparison to the other Mii Fighters. However, all three kinds of Miis were quickly looked down upon due to the controversy surrounding the allowance of custom movesets in tournaments, with the Mii Brawler's aggressive playstyle and recovery being adversely affected due to the complete ban on custom moves. This forced it to deal with weaknesses such as a very poor recovery, special moves with little utility, and difficulty approaching due to a sluggish projectile and short range on their moves. | ||
While at first the Mii's choice for custom movesets was up to a [[tournament director]]'s discretion, when custom special movesets began to be discussed, the Mii's tier placements once again began to rise in the eyes of many players, and in the case of the Mii Brawler, many considered them to be, once again, a top-tier character with extremely high potential. After the universal ban of custom movesets post-EVO 2015, however, expectations of the Mii plummeted once again, and they would go on to being widely viewed as some of the worst characters in the game. Despite this, Mii Brawlers were considered to be more effective than their Mii Fighter counterparts due to their speed and combo ability, causing them to be ranked 48th on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]], as the best kind of Mii. It would then see a notable drop to 54th on the second tier list, and 56th on the third tier list, though this time as the second best kind of default Mii for the last two placings. However, some people such as {{Sm|ZeRo}} have claimed that due to the Brawler's worse results than the other kinds of Miis outside of custom tournaments, and their weaknesses being more exploitable while their strengths fail to compensate with the lack of custom moves, it should have been ranked as the worst kind of Mii. | |||
Currently, due to a very large stagntation of data on the Miis, as well as there being no response on whether or not they should be allowed to use custom moves, the Miis were exlcuded from placement voting on the fourth and most recent tier list. Despite this, members of the 4BR have stated that it is possible they might be included on future iterations, if they achieve notoriety once again. | |||

::{{flag|ntsc}} ''This fighter is based on a player's Mii. It excels at fighting with punches and kicks. This type of Mii is very agile, blending attacks with movement to get the battle flowing.

== | ::{{flag|pal}} ''A Fighter based on your Mii! Brawlers focus on kicks and punches, and a lot of their specials send them hurtling towards opponents. They're better at dashing and jumping than other types of Mii Fighter, and their speedy attacks really pile on the pressure at close range.

::{{flag|pal}} ''In this Final Smash, Mii Brawler lifts a foe into the air with an uppercut, then delivers a barrage of strikes. If the initial uppercut misses, the whole thing stops there - but if it hits, the other blows can't be dodged. It ends with a series of kicks followed by a chop, sending the victim smashing into the ground and bouncing way up high.'' | |||
