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, an above-average air speed, and an average air acceleration.

As a Mii Fighter, his specials are determinant on the player's choice. Like the other two Mii Fighters, he 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 his diverse set of special moves. Many of his specials help rack up damage, improve his 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. | As with other Mii Fighters, one of the strengths of the Mii Brawler is his diverse set of special moves.

Early metagame opinions on Mii Brawler were lackluster: many players quickly noticed the severe nerfs to his 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, he received nerfs to his 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, he was quickly considered to be the weakest of the three Mii Fighters, as he had the ability to rack up damage very quickly, yet were unable to safely secure stocks. | Early metagame opinions on Mii Brawler were lackluster: many players quickly noticed the severe nerfs to his 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]]).

Most notable among this was the buffs to [[Thrust Uppercut]], which gained some notoriety for being able to confirm from some moves, most notably down throw, and KO at early percents on some stages. In addition, the character saw success as a secondary or pocket character, especially from {{Sm|Rizeasu}}, who has won or came close to winning several events with Mii Brawler, as well as other players who have picked up the character on occasion such as {{Sm|Bloom4Eva}}. Although Mii Brawler's solo-main results remained underwhelming for some time, it has still seen some success thanks to the efforts of players such as {{Sm|Ghost}} in the early metagame and {{Sm|KID}} in the post-online metagame. Due to all these factors, opinions on Mii Brawler, as well as his representation in the metagame, have risen, particularly in the post-online metagame, and as such he was ranked 37th on the first tier list as a high tier, then 36th on the second tier list in the B+ tier. | ||
