The '''Mii Brawler''' ({{ja|Mii格闘タイプ|Mii Kakutō Taipu}}, ''Mii Hand-to-Hand Fighting Type'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They were confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018 along with the other {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}} types, the [[Mii Swordfighter (SSBU)|Swordfighter]], and the [[Mii Gunner (SSBU)|Gunner]]. The Mii Brawler is classified as fighter #51.

Being the "up close and personal" Mii Fighter, the Brawler now possesses a good walking/dashing speed (tied with Toon Link and Mewtwo for walk speed and the 25th fastest dash speed) and the ability to wall jump in exchange for now being a middleweight fighter (sharing the same weight as {{SSBU|Inkling}}, {{SSBU|Ness}}, and {{SSBU|Lucas}}) with a fast falling speed and subpar air acceleration. As a Mii Fighter, their specials are determinant on the player's choice. Like the other two Mii Fighters, they have access to 12 different specials: [[Shot Put]], [[Flashing Mach Punch]], and [[Exploding Side Kick]] (Neutral Special), [[Onslaught]], [[Burning Dropkick]], and [[Suplex]] (Side Special), [[Soaring Axe Kick]], [[Helicopter Kick]], and [[Thrust Uppercut]] (Up Special), and [[Head-On Assault]], [[Feint Jump]], and [[Counter Throw]] (Down Special).

As with other Mii Fighters, one of the strengths of the Mii Brawler is its diverse set of special moves. Many of their specials help rack up damage, improve their recovery, or possess fantastic KO power. Shot Put is a fantastic tool for edgeguarding due to its' arc and strong knockback. Moves such as Burning Dropkick and Feint Jump both aid the Brawler's recovery, providing decent horizontal distance. Suplex serves as a potent mindgame special, as well as an excellent way of racking up damage, dealing about 20% for each successful Suplex landed, even when stale.

Accompanying their varying specials, the Mii Brawler is a fairly nimble fighter with decent combo potential. Their walking and dashing speed is above average and many of their normals have relatively low start-up and ending lag. All of their tilts and aerials (with the exception of down aerial) come out fairly quickly and are safe on shield when properly spaced. Up tilt can chain into itself at low percentages while down tilt can combo into forward aerial at low percentages and other aerials/special moves at higher percentages. Neutral aerial is an excellent sex kick that boasts a wide range of utility due to its' speed and extremely low landing lag, making it a very useful tool for edgeguarding, initiating and breaking combos, and approaching. Forward tilt serves as a decent spacing tool due to it no longer having a sour spot and its' ability to be angled while their down throw is a very good combo initiator, capable of comboing into a variety of moves. Additionally, the Mii Brawler has a plethora of moves that have high KO potential. Forward smash deals extremely high knockback and can kill at low-mid percentages. The initial hit of up smash is a potent finisher that has very low start-up lag. Many of their specials can secure early KOs as well, especially in Thrust Uppercut and Helicopter Kick, both in which excel at early vertical KOs. Exploding Side Kick has the same KO potential of Falcon Punch and is safe on shield, Head-On Assault and Soaring Axe Kick can perform suicidal KOs at extremely low percentages (the former which is also a potent shield breaker), and Counter Throw is one of strongest counters in the game tied with {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s [[Gut Check]], but lower than {{SSBU|Joker}}'s [[Rebel's Guard|Tetrakarn]].

Additionally, Mii Brawler has a plethora of excellent defensive tools. Neutral aerial serves as a quick out of shield option with its 6-frame start-up, factoring in the initial jump squat frames. Up Smash has Mii Brawler's legs intangible for the first half of its active frames making it a great anti-air option. Finally, 2 of Mii Brawler's Up Specials, Soaring Axe Kick and Thrust Uppercut, also serve as great out of shield options with the former having excellent range to punish laggy disjointed attacks and the latter being Mii Brawler's fastest OOS option at frame 3.

In terms of recovery, Mii Brawler has some good options. Both Soaring Axe Kick and Thrust Uppercut have great vertical distance. However, the former is more reliable for recovery due to having better ledge snapping. Horizontal-wise, Mii Brawler has Burning Dropkick, Helicopter Kick and Feint Jump. Feint Jump, much like Flip Jump, is a good tool that can both mix up and extend the Mii Brawler's otherwise lackluster recovery, as well as escape juggles. Burning Dropkick can be used multiple times and its decent travel distance can be further improved by [[B-reversing]] it in the air.  

However, the Mii Brawler does not come without their own flaws. In exchange for their decent mobility and speed, their fixed middleweight status allows them to be KO'd somewhat easily. This is further exacerbated by its' status as a fast-faller, now being a very susceptible target to combos. Furthermore, the Mii Brawler lacks the tools to force approaches and has to make hard commitments when approaching due to the lack of safe options.  

Another issue with the Mii Brawler is the lack of reliable KOs confirms at medium to high percents. At those percentages, most of Mii Brawler's combo setups stop confirming into their kill moves due to the former dealing too much knockback. Many of their KO options are flawed, some of them being extremely laggy (Such as Forward Smash and Onslaught) or having poor range (Down Smash and Up Smash). Because of this, they must rely on back aerial, Up Smash out of shield, hard reads and tech-chasing to secure stocks.  

The Mii Brawler's grab game is also slightly worsened. While superior to that of the other Mii Fighters, many of the Mii Brawler's grabs do not offer a great deal of utility. Down throw is no longer as good of a combo initiator as it was in ''[[SSB4]]'', up throw provides no true follow-ups due to its' high ending lag, and their KO throw, forward throw, only KOs at the edge at relatively high percentages.

Lastly, while the Mii Brawler does boast a flexible recovery, some of their tools do come with their own flaws. Soaring Axe Kick has very little horizontal distance while Helicopter Kick and Thrust Uppercut both have poor vertical distance. While Feint Jump is an excellent tool for recovery, the Mii Brawler will be rendered unable to use it again if they are hit while using it until they grab a ledge or land on stage.  

Overall, the Mii Brawler is a character with very good frame data, above-average mobility, a decent grab game and a variety of moves that can combo, juggle, and secure KOs. However, they are held back by their poor range and limited off-stage presence due to their fast fall speed. And while their strengths do overshadow their weaknesses, many players have considered the Mii Brawler to be generally inferior to characters who have a similar fighting archetype such as [[Mario_(SSBU)|Mario]] and [[Squirtle_(SSBU)|Squirtle]]. As a result, they tend to struggle in some matchups, particularly versus characters with projectiles or disjoints.

The Mii Brawler has received a large mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition to ''Ultimate'', and it is ambiguous to whether they have been overall buffed or nerfed. The Mii Brawler has been the most extensively modified of the Mii Fighters, especially in terms of custom moves. With height and weight now being fixed, the Mii Brawler now has set attributes, now being a [[weight|middleweight]] fast faller with high mobility and effective close combat abilities, making their playstyle along the lines of other combo-oriented "footsies" fighters like {{SSBU|Little Mac}} or {{SSBU|Squirtle}}.

In terms of move changes, aside from some animation changes that set their moves apart from other characters, the Brawler's standard moveset has been overall buffed. Their moves' functionality has not been altered significantly, with quality-of-life changes like forward tilt losing its sourspot, forward aerial being faster and connecting better, and moves such as their smash attacks and back aerial getting moderate to high increases in knockback. Similarly to the other Mii Fighters, the Brawler's default special moves have been buffed exponentially, with them being the largest recipient of the Brawler's buffs: [[Shot Put]] has less endlag and sends at a lower angle that makes it more useful, Onslaught has increased KO potential overall, Soaring Axe Kick covers slightly more distance and the descending part now has to be manually inputted, and Head-On Assault can now KO and deals increased shield damage. These changes give them a larger abundance of powerful moveset choices, fixing one of the Brawler's former weaknesses and allowing the Brawler to function just as effectively without altered customs.

The Brawler is the Mii Fighter to have the biggest access to entirely new special moves: each directional input (neutral, side, up, down) has a new special move that replaces another: [[Ultimate Uppercut]] was replaced by [[Flashing Mach Punch]], a powerful multi-hit move; [[Headache Maker]] was replaced by [[Suplex]], a damaging [[grab|command grab]]; [[Piston Punch]] was replaced by [[Thrust Uppercut]], a variant with more recovery potential and combo ability but less KO power; and [[Foot Flurry]] was replaced by [[Counter Throw]], a unique [[counterattack]] with low cooldown, short counter frames, and a retaliating hit in the form of a [[grab]]. Each of these moves now give the Brawler a new option to handle several different situations.

However, the Mii Brawler has also received notworthy nerfs, which arguably counterbalance their buffs. The Brawler's set attributes are a double-edged sword, as their lower weight, slower air speed, and higher falling speed and gravity, makes them easier to both combo and KO and removes their neutral and forward aerial's ability to autocancel from a short hop. Additionally, some of the Brawler's best moves have been nerfed: down throw's higher knockback scaling limits followups after mid percents, vastly reducing the KO power of their combo strings and preventing the Brawler from KOing as early as 85% through throw combos. The Brawler's best followup options from down throw also have weaker KO potential, since [[Helicopter Kick]] has lowered knockback and Thrust Uppercut's knockback is lower compared to Piston Punch. As a result, the Brawler's KO setups have actually been reduced, since they now only serve to rack up damage instead of KOing.

Despite Soaring Axe Kick's vastly improved utility and distance, some of the Brawler's other recovery choices have been nerfed in distance, making the Brawler's recovery less reliable than before: Onslaught travels a reduced distance if performed in the air, [[Burning Dropkick]] now has a fixed distance and cannot be charged (which also reduces its utility) and [[Feint Jump]] travels at a more downward angle, which when combined with the Brawler's increased fall speed and gravity gives the move less distance. The Brawler's [[approach]] options have also been reduced due to the removal of [[Ultimate Uppercut]] and [[Foot Flurry]], the former removing a [[super armor]] option in exchange for invincibility when [[Flashing Mach Punch]] connects, and the latter removing one of their only approaching attacks in exchange for a counterattack in [[Counter Throw]]. Lastly, the Brawler also retains some of their former weaknesses from ''Smash 4'', such as a below-average [[neutral game]] due to their poor range, unreliable aerials for approaching and only passable projectile, an inconsistent combo game, slightly below-average frame data for a fighter of their playstyle, trouble at landing their powerful KO options, and a predicable recovery.

Overall, the changes to the Mii Brawler's moveset allow more of their special moves to shine while granting them better utility, though at the cost of their strongest tools being streamlined, and the extreme changes their special moves have gained means the Brawler has to take advantage of their buffed special moves to counteract the nerfs to their potent down throw combos. Due to these factors, the Brawler is arguably the weakest of the three Mii Fighters, although they have received consistent and notable buffs throughout patches, unlike the other Mii Fighters. Overall, their viability compared to the cast and, more significantly, their impact on the metagame, are still yet to be determined due to their low representation and amount of results.

The Mii Brawler has been significantly buffed from game updates. Update 2.0.0 improved the Brawler's offense by improving their neutral infinite, increasing the damage of up aerial and some special moves, extending up smash's sweetspot duration, and granting neutral and back aerials less landing lag. The landing lag decreases now make back aerial safer on shield, while giving late neutral aerial more followups, some into KO moves. [[Flashing Mach Punch]]'s increased damage is more rewarding on hit, [[Exploding Side Kick]]'s reduced ending lag makes it harder to punish, Onslaught's increased speed makes it easier to connect, [[Soaring Axe Kick]] is safer, [[Feint Jump]]'s kick has more knockback, and [[Head-On Assault]] can now break full shields if all hits connect.  

Patch 3.1.0 gave a mixed bag of changes, with their neutral attack and Flashing Mach Punch connecting more consistently. The Brawler's notoriously high falling and fast falling speeds were also reverted back to their ''SSB4'' values, making them less susceptible to combos and juggles while also allowing forward aerial to autocancel out of a short hop. However, their [[airdodge]] and [[footstool]] animations were made laggier.

Patch 4.0.0 significantly improved the utility of what was commonly considered their two worst custom moves: Flashing Mach Punch was once again buffed by decreasing its startup and has more invulnerability if it connects, while also increasing the final hit's knockback, while [[Thrust Uppercut]]'s final hit has more knockback, allowing it to actually KO at reasonable percents. However, the Brawler's infamously fast falling speed from earlier iterations has returned, resulting in the Brawler once again being easier to combo, forward aerial losing its ability to auto-cancel in a short hop, and the Mii Brawler's recovery being worse, but making them harder to juggle in return, as well make their airdodge and footstool animations less laggy.

Patch 7.0.0 now increased [[Suplex]]'s grab range, make it easier to grab opponents.

As a result, the Mii Brawler is significantly better than they were during ''Ultimate''{{'}}s release.

|neutralname=&nbsp;

|neutraldesc=Two quick punches, followed by a series of rapid punches, ending with a side kick. It is a useful close-range interceptor on the ground, but as it will only transition into the neutral infinite after the first two hits, it is punishable if shielded since it gives the opponent time to react.

|ftiltname=&nbsp;

|ftiltdesc=A roundhouse kick. Can be angled, which deals more damage when angled up or angled down, and is the Brawler's longest ranged tilt. Unlike the version in ''SSB4'', it no longer has a sourspot. As a result, it is useful for creating space.  

|utiltname=&nbsp;

|utiltdesc=Punches with an uppercut. Sends the opponent upwards and slightly behind the Brawler, which is most noticeable at mid percents. As a result, it can juggle into itself at low percentages, drag the opponent closer for a grounded followup like a tilt, grab or up special, and set up aerial combos at mid percents, including back aerial. The move's hitbox can reach through the lower platforms of [[Battlefield]] and can hit prone opponents, but it cannot hit opponents behind the Brawler. Additionally, it has low horizontal range, and usually sends too far to combo after 120%.

|dtiltname=&nbsp;

|dtiltdesc=An inverted sweep kick along the ground. Knocks opponents upward, allowing it to combo into tilts or forward aerial at low percents, and aerials or any up special move at medium percents.

|dashname=&nbsp;

|fsmashname=&nbsp;

|fsmashdesc=A strong straight punch. The move moves the Brawler slightly forward. Although an electric trail appears at the Brawler's fist, it does not deal [[electric]] damage. It deals immense knockback and easily KOs from 75% at the center of [[Final Destination]]. However, it has high startup overall and incredibly high ending lag (hits on frame 17 and ends on frame 67), and its hitbox only lasts for two frames.

|usmashname=Cartwheel Kick

|usmashdesc=A flip kick. It has high speed (frame 8), which makes it a good anti-air and grounded combo finisher at low percents, and it can KO at around 120%. However, the late hit (after the Brawler completes 3/4 of the backflip) has significantly lower knockback growth and only KOs at around 170%. Like up tilt, its hitbox can reach through the lower platforms of Battlefield.

|dsmashname=&nbsp;

|dsmashdesc=Punches forwards and kicks backwards simultaneously. Very fast like up smash (frame 9), with the lowest ending lag of all the Brawler's smash attacks (FAF 43). Both sides deal the same damage, with the kick dealing more knockback, KOing 10% earlier. However, both hits have very poor range.

|nairname=&nbsp;

|nairdesc=A [[sex kick]], similar to {{SSBU|Mario}}'s [[neutral aerial]]. Its extremely high ending lag has been reduced from ''SSB4''. Due to its startup (frame 3) and low landing lag (frame 6), it is a useful combo breaker, and the clean hit can act as a niche KO option at the sides of the stage at around 130%. As of the 2.0.0 patch, neutral aerial's landing lag is low enough for the weak hit to true combo into a multitude of moves, including neutral attack, [[Thrust Uppercut]] and [[Head-On Assault]] at low percents, or down tilt or [[Helicopter Kick]] at mid percents. [[Autocancel]]s from a full hop.

|fairname=&nbsp;

|fairdesc=Two alternating inward kicks. The first kick can be used to initiate combos on grounded opponents, but as the kicks transition much faster than in ''SSB4'', it is much more difficult to drag opponents to the ground with the first hit. Additionally, the move's hitboxes are on the Brawler's legs, which can cause it to whiff.

|bairname=&nbsp;

|bairdesc=A swinging back kick. Very fast (frame 7) and is the Brawler's most reliable KO option in midair. Has a small chance of tripping grounded opponents at low percents. However, its hitbox is very brief. Autocancels from a short hop, which allows it to wall out opponents.

|uairname=&nbsp;

|uairdesc= A spinning crescent kick. Autocancels from a short hop, has the second lowest ending lag of all the Brawler's aerials (frame 10), and has a wide hitbox; the front hitbox is capable of hitting tall characters out of a short hop (such as {{SSBU|Marth}}). As a result, it is an excellent combo initiator or extender, as a falling up aerial can start grounded combos at low percents, or juggle into itself or any up special move at mid percents.

|dairname=&nbsp;

|dairdesc=Swings both fists beneath themself in a double axe handle. The clean hit is a powerful [[meteor smash]], and sends grounded opponents diagonally upwards. However, it is the Brawler's slowest aerial in terms of startup lag, ending lag and landing lag. Autocancels from a full hop and double jump fast fall.

|grabname=&nbsp;

|grabdesc=The Brawler reaches in front of themself.

|pummelname=&nbsp;

|pummeldesc=Headbutts the opponent.

|fthrowname=&nbsp;

|fthrowdesc=Launches the opponent away with a backhand. It is the Brawler's KO throw, though it does so poorly as it KOs at around 144% at the edge of Final Destination.

|bthrowname=&nbsp;

|bthrowdesc=Kicks the opponent behind themself.

|uthrowname=&nbsp;

|dthrowname=&nbsp;

|dthrowdesc=Karate chops the opponent into the ground. This is the Brawler's combo throw, which can extended into aerials, up special moves, or multiple landing up aerials. Due to the changes to the Brawler's physics and the move's increased knockback growth, it has lost its infamous KO setups from ''Smash 4'' and quickly loses combo potential at high percents. Despite this, its combos into special moves are still formidable, as it is effective at the ledge: [[Helicopter Kick]] can still KO at around 60% if directed forward, and [[Soaring Axe Kick]] can act as a [[sacrificial KO]] so long as the Brawler has a stock lead. It can also be used as a last-resort KO option, as it does so starting at 200%.

|floorbdesc=Same as their frontal floor attack.

|nsdefdesc=A {{s|wikipedia|shot put}} is thrown into the air as an arcing [[projectile]]. Bounces twice upon landing, which deals lower damage; if it misses, the shot travels a set distance before disappearing. Very damaging and strong for an unchargeable projectile, which makes for a useful [[edgeguarding]] tool.

|nsc1desc=The Brawler performs five fast punches with a single hand. If any of these punches land, the move will extend into a flurry of consecutive punches, the maximum total being 22. The last hit deals good vertical knockback, KOing at around 115%. If the move lands on an opponent, the Brawler gains invincibility for the duration of the move, making the move hard to interrupt. Although it has respectably fast startup (frame 10), it has noticeable ending lag that makes it easy to punish if whiffed. If the first few hits are shielded, or hit opponents under the effects of [[armor]], it will not transition to the looping portion of the move. The move doesn't lose power if used in the air, and the first use will stall the Brawler's descent. Subsequent uses will have the Brawler fall while punching, which can act as a niche landing option to catch approaching opponents.

|nsc2desc=Stands on one leg and charges their leg in [[flame]], before unleashing a powerful burning kick. Functions like [[Falcon Punch]]. The move can be reversed once anytime during the move; the window to do so is extremely lenient compared to other moves of its kind, allowing the Brawler to turn around right before the kick itself. The Brawler gains [[super armor]] just before the kick, even if started in midair, allowing it to function as a hard punish. For its power, it has surprisingly low ending lag, which was further reduced in the 2.0.0 patch; the move is safe on shield as a result.

|ssdefdmg=2% (hit 1), 1.5% (hits 2-7), 5% (hit 8)

|ssdefdesc=Charges forward with their knee out. If the knee connects against an opponent, the Brawler will perform a series of blows (a knee strike, a kick with the opposite leg, a backhanded punch, a swinging fist punch with the opposite arm, a double-hitting axe kick, and a double-fisted axe handle swing) concluded by a backflip kick. If whiffed, there is noticeable endlag. In the air, even after attacking, Onslaught leaves the Brawler [[helpless]]. It has excellent KO potential, as it can KO grounded opponents as early as 110%. Onslaught deals increased knockback as the Mii Brawler's damage accumulates, similarly to and separate from the effects of rage, but this multiplier lowers to 1x when the move is successfully used. Onslaught will go back to full power after some time, indicated by a brief flash of purple sparkles on the Brawler's shoes. Despite its in-game description, accumulated damage doesn't affect the damage of the move.

|ssc1desc=Extends both legs in front of themself, charging forward to deliver a dropkick while covered with flames. Unlike the previous iteration of this move, it is no longer chargeable, so it deals set damage. Furthermore, it now covers a set, albeit vastly reduced distance, and can now miss entirely if started right next to an opponent. As a result, it has lost majority of its utility from ''SSB4'', though it is still an effective approach move due to its quick startup, and can also KO at high percents.

|ssc2desc=A [[command grab]] in which the Brawler dashes forward a short distance with their arms out in a grabbing motion. If it connects, the Brawler will lift the opponent into the air and do a backwards suplex, slamming the opponent headfirst into the ground. The Brawler gains super armor while throwing an opponent. Any opponents nearby for the grab and slam will take collateral damage. The move has extremely low knockback scaling, but can be used to effectively rack up damage. If used in midair, the move causes helplessness; it can grab foes near an edge and drag them off as a [[sacrificial KO]], though it will always KO the Brawler first. Suplex makes for a poor horizontal recovery option, as it travels less distance than Onslaught.

|usdefdesc=Performs an upward flip kick. Similar to {{SSBU|Cloud}}'s [[Climhazzard]], a second press of the special move button will have the flip kick followed up by an axe kick that meteor smashes opponents in the air. The move will snap to ledges during the rising portion, and can also snap during the downward kick after a bit of travel time. Both hits transition quickly, and the landing hit has enough knockback to KO at around 120% near the edge of Final Destination. The meteor smash is notably powerful, as it can KO ledge hanging opponents at as low as 20%.

|usc1desc=Performs a flurry of spinning kicks while traveling diagonally upward, similar to {{SSBU|Fox}}'s [[forward aerial]]. Travels much higher if initiated from the ground. The trajectory of Helicopter Kick's final hit can be altered: holding forward will make its knockback diagonal, while holding back will make its knockback more vertical. This allows the Brawler to choose how to launch the opponent. Allows for long horizontal recovery, but lacks vertical lift. While it is still an excellent combo finisher out of aerials or a throw, its knockback has been heavily reduced from ''Smash 4'', making it unable to KO extremely early near the sides of the stage.

|usc2desc=The Brawler rises upwards with a multi-hitting uppercut, at a slight diagonal trajectory. The uppercut is followed by a second uppercut with the opposite fist. By angling during the ascent, it is possible to travel further horizontally, though the move has deceptively low recovery distance due to the move's animation. It has very fast startup (frame 3), and renders the Brawler's arm intangible from frames 3 to 7. Like Helicopter Kick, Thrust Uppercut is a reliable combo finisher due to its speed, though its trajectory is more suitable for ending vertical combos. However, it is much weaker than the previous version ([[Piston Punch]]), which was capable of KOing out of a down throw from 65%. As a result, Thrust Uppercut's combos are more suited for damage racking, though it can KO near the top blast line at around 140%.

|dsdefdmg=6% (flip kick), 1% (multi-hits), 14% (landing)

|dsdefdesc=The Brawler leaps up, performing a backflip kick with both of their legs, and plummets downward with a corkscrewing headbutt. If performed in the air, the Brawler will just perform the headbutt. On the ground, the initial leap sends the opponent into the main headbutt. In both versions of the move, the descending headbutt hits multiple times, and acts as a meteor smash. If the grounded version is used as a sacrificial KO, the opponent will be KO'd first. The grounded hit is very powerful and can KO consistently at 120%, though it is extremely risky due to its overall lag. If performed in midair while facing a ledge, the Brawler will be able to sweetspot said ledge, allowing it to be used as an edgeguard. The move does a high amount of [[shield damage]], being able to break full shields if both hits connect.

|dsc1desc=Flips off the ground and, when the special button is pressed again, performs a divekick while surrounded by a blue aura. The startup offers brief [[intangibility]]. Similarly to {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}'s [[Flip Jump]], by landing on an opponent midair during the jump, the Brawler will automatically perform a kick which meteor smashes foes. The angle they are launched, however, is more diagonal, similar to that of {{SSBU|Ryu}}'s down air. The direction they are sent is opposite of the direction of the flip (i.e flipping to the right will diagonally meteor smash the opponent to the left, and vice versa). Both the jump and the kick can be reversed if the player taps in the other direction upon startup.

|dsc2desc=The Brawler enters a defensive stance, bringing their arms close to their face. Upon being hit, the Brawler will [[counterattack]] by grabbing the opponent and slamming them on the ground behind themself. The slam will lightly damage nearby opponents. Unlike other counters, Counter Throw has a short duration, but low ending lag, allowing it to be used more flexibly. However, unlike other counters, Counter Throw completely fails against projectiles and attacks that hit their legs (i.e. attacks from underneath the Brawler), and moves with sufficiently disjointed hitboxes will cause the retaliating grab to miss. As a result, the counterattack can be rather inconsistent.

Lands with an explosion, does a flip kick, and makes a pose similar to their side taunt.

*'''Side taunt''': Moves their fists in front of them in an "X" motion and assumes an altered crane pose, before punching downwards and swinging an open hand outward, performing a knifehand block stance.

*'''Down taunt''': Punches twice toward the screen.

*Unclenches their fists and hops on the spot, as if poised for battle.<gallery>

==In competitive play==

The viewpoint on the Mii Brawler was very positive before release, with players quickly acknowledging the buffs and changes to their array of special moves, along with the engine changes suggesting that they would benefit immensely due to their speedy rushdown archetype. However, perception on the Mii Brawler quickly became lackluster on release: many players quickly noticed the severe nerfs to their strongest and infamous abilities from ''Smash 4'', most notably the heavy nerfs to down throw (which could KO opponents at extremely low percents through the use of [[Helicopter Kick]] and [[Piston Punch]]). In addition, they received nerfs to their core moves (the smaller hitboxes of neutral and back aerials, and the loss of the [[autolink angle]] for forward aerial), and suffered from laggy and/or short-ranged moves, a poor approach, an ironic lack of safe KO moves, and a high vulnerability to combos and gimping. Due to this, they were quickly considered them to be the weakest of the three Mii Fighters, as they had the ability to rack up damage very quickly, yet were unable to safely secure stocks.

Unlike the other Mii Fighters, the Mii Brawler has received a notable amount of buffs to their moveset over time, improving the overall effectiveness of the character. As a result of their constant buffs and the growing metagame, several players such as {{Sm|ESAM}} and {{Sm|Leffen}} have began to change their viewpoint on them due to the realization of their very good frame data, combo/juggling potential, and recovery options, even going as far as to rank them as both a solid high mid-tier character and labeling them as the best of the three Mii Fighters. While this is up to debate due to the relative obscurity of the character, it is generally agreed that the Brawler has improved due to updates.

The Mii Brawler's Fighter Spirit is available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 Gold. Unlocking Mii Brawler in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Unlike most fighters, the spirit for Mii Brawler only uses the official artwork from ''Ultimate''.
