'''Mii Fighters''' ({{ja|Miiファイター | '''Mii Fighters''' ({{ja|Miiファイター}}, ''Mii Fighter'') are three newcomers in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. They were confirmed alongside [[Palutena (SSB4)|Palutena]] and [[Pac-Man (SSB4)|Pac-Man]] during E3 2014 on June 10th, 2014. Three variations exist: the Mii Brawler, who relies on physical combat, the Mii Swordfighter, who relies on skilled sword combat, and the Mii Gunner, who relies heavily on projectiles. Mii Fighters cannot be used when playing [[With Anyone]] online<ref>[http://www.nintendo-insider.com/2014/06/11/pac-man-game-watch-announced-super-smash-bros-wii-u-3ds/ Pac-Man and Game & Watch announced for Super Smash Bros.

**Outfits are usually exclusive to one type of Mii Fighter and all of the ones present in the original release of the game match the Mii's favorite color as set in Mii Maker. Some outfits also change slightly depending on the Mii's gender (e.g. the "Wild West Wear" outfit is exclusive to Mii Gunners, and the outfit features an added skirt if worn by females). On the contrary, headgear does not change depending on the type, gender, or favorite color of the Mii Fighter. | **Outfits are usually exclusive to one type of Mii Fighter and all of the ones present in the original release of the game match the Mii's favorite color as set in Mii Maker.

**Despite this, the character portraits of Mii Fighters will still be replaced with that of a generic Mii when used in [[Smash Run]]. Additionally, if one looks at the 3DS version's pause screen during a match with Miis present, the icons that represent those characters are represented by generic Miis as well, and in both versions, [[amiibo]] of Mii Fighters will show up as generic Miis when scanned on the character selection screen, although their portraits during matches will properly show them in their true appearance. These scenarios always occur regardless of which system the Miis originated from. | **Despite this, the character portraits of Mii Fighters will still be replaced with that of a generic Mii when used in [[Smash Run]].

*A Mii Fighter's height and weight depend on what they are set to when the Mii in question was made in Mii Maker (a feature seen previously in ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart 8'').

'''Mii Brawlers''' fight with brute force using physical attacks such as punches and kicks. They have the best mobility and damage-output of the three types. Their moves take inspiration mostly from other empty-handed characters such as {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Little Mac}}, and {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}}, though a number of their moves are based on empty-handed attacks of other characters who don't necessarily fit that archetype. Brawlers at medium height with default special moves (as is the general formula for the ''SSB4'' tier list) were ranked 56th on the third tier list in the F tier, with their speed and power being offset by their poor range, subpar grab and approach game, along with a poor recovery. | '''Mii Brawlers''' fight with brute force using physical attacks such as punches and kicks.

'''Mii Gunners''' use a variety of high-tech weaponry within their arm cannons to attack foes from afar. They are the slowest of the three types, but (predictably) have the most range. Most of their standard attacks take inspiration from {{SSB4|Samus}}, though their specials have a much broader array of influences, including {{SSB4|Ness}}, {{SSB4|Mega Man}}, {{SSB4|Fox}}, {{SSB4|Zelda}}, and {{SSB4|Robin}}. Gunners at medium height with default special moves ranked 54th on the third tier list in the F tier, owing to their poor mobility, grab game, and lack of long-range KO options despite their range, attack speed and overall versatility. | '''Mii Gunners''' use a variety of high-tech weaponry within their arm cannons to attack foes from afar.

{{ | '''Mii Swordfighters''' ('''Sword Fighters''' in [[PAL]]) use their blades and a variety of archaic weaponry to skilfully deal with opponents. They are the second fastest and have the second-longest range, but are the weakest in terms of power. Their moves mostly take inspiration from {{SSB4|Link}}, (right down to having a similar side-taunt), though other sword-wielding characters such as {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Ike}} also influence their movesets to a considerable degree. Swordfighters at medium height with default special moves ranked 57th on the third tier list in the F tier despite their disjointed hitboxes and versatility. Both of these strengths are countered by their slow mobility, lack of reliable KO-setups, and abundance of lag. | ||

In [[Multi-Man mode|Multi-Man Smash]], the '''Fighting Mii Team''' ({{ja|謎のMii軍団}}, ''Mysterious Mii Corps'') appears as an opposing horde of Mii Fighters with uniform height and weight. Like other [[enemy team]]s, they are weaker than standard characters, being unable to use special moves and have limited defenses. Each fighter wears a black uniform which differs slightly based on the Mii Fighter type, with a white 'M' logo and two of the letter 'i' on their limbs to spell 'Mii'. Any Mii on the player's system can appear as a Swordfighter, Brawler, or Gunner, regardless of what types of Mii Fighters have been created. They do not change their facial expressions in battle. | In [[Multi-Man mode|Multi-Man Smash]], the '''Fighting Mii Team''' ({{ja|謎のMii軍団}}, ''Mysterious Mii Corps'') appears as an opposing horde of Mii Fighters with uniform height and weight.

As previously mentioned, custom moves are generally banned in competitive play, leading to this debate; some tournaments allow Miis to have full access to their custom moves, while others only allow for 1111 movesets. In smaller tournaments where custom moves are legal, there also exists debate as to what extent players can be allowed to modify the heights and weights of their Miis. | ||
