|availability = [[Character customization|Custom]]

'''Mii Fighters'''  ({{ja|Miiファイター|Mii Faitā}}, ''Mii Fighter'') are three newcomers in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. They were confirmed alongside {{SSB4|Palutena}} and {{SSB4|Pac-Man}} during E3 2014 on June 10th, 2014. Three variations exist: the {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}, who relies on physical combat, the {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}, who relies on skilled sword combat, and the {{SSB4|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. Wii U & 3DS] Nintendo Insider</ref> but can be used for [[With Friends]] online and when playing any offline mode except [[Smash Tour]].

*By collecting [[Custom Part]]s and completing [[challenges]], players can unlock several custom outfits and headgear items for Mii Fighters (for a complete list of these, see [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Mii Fighter|here]] for reference), and as of April 15th, 2015, even more clothing can be purchased as [[downloadable content]].

**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.

**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.

*As with the gender variants of {{SSB4|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSB4|Robin}}, {{SSB4|Villager}}, and {{SSB4|Corrin}}, there are no gameplay/functional differences between male and female Mii Fighters whatsoever.

*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''). Miis that are smaller in size are lighter, can jump higher, move faster (up to 1.2208x [[walking]] and [[dash]]ing, and 1.176x [[air speed]] for the shortest and thinnest Miis), and have less ending lag on their attacks, while larger Miis jump lower, have slower mobility (down to 0.817x walking and dashing, and 0.8455x air speed for the tallest and fattest Miis), have more ending lag on their attacks, and are more powerful, allowing them to benefit significantly from the new [[rage]] mechanic.

*Mii Fighters cannot be made from special-edition Miis (identifiable by their gold-colored pants); their slots will appear blank in the Mii selection screen.

*Mii Fighters occupy only a single slot on the [[character selection screen]]; as such, solo modes will record only one high score for them, despite the three types playing differently. However, the types do have separate trophies to obtain through [[Classic Mode|Classic]] and [[All-Star Mode]], as well as their own separate amiibo figurines.

*Outside of the Fighting Mii Team, Mii Fighters never appear as CPU opponents in solo modes.

**Additionally, Mii Fighters will never be chosen when "Random" is selected for a CPU (aside from Attract Mode). To fight against a CPU Mii Fighter, the player must manually select that character.

*When called out by the [[announcer]], Mii Fighters will simply be referred to as "Mii" no matter their type, though the name of that Mii will still show up on the character select screen, on the damage percentage HUD, and on the results screen after a match.

==Types of Mii Fighters==

==={{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}===

'''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 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.

==={{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}===

'''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.

==[[Announcer]] call==

{{audio|Needs announcer calls from other languages.}}

All three types of Mii Fighters use the same announcer call.

:''Main article: [[Fighting Mii Team]]''

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.

 

 

 

The Mii Brawler is generally considered the best of the three Mii Fighters when customs are allowed, and was considered a potential high or even top tier with them. All Mii Fighters are considered considerably worse without access to their customs, and are generally regarded as low or even bottom tier characters when restricted to their "default" moveset, with all iterations of the [[Smash Back Room]]'s [[tier list]] ranking them as such until the final tier list, which didn't rank them at all due to their heavily disputed legality and their severe lack of tournament data.

===Legality===

With the universal ban on custom moves at major tournaments after [[EVO 2015]] and a playstyle that revolves around customisation, Mii Fighters have seen very little tournament usage. While most tournaments do allow for Mii Fighters to be used, varying rulesets have been featured for the characters that restrict them in some way.

*Mii Fighters are the first playable characters that represent the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

**By extension, this makes the Mii Fighters the first enemy team characters to be fully playable.

*While technically starter characters, Mii Fighters do not appear on the character selection screen until one exists on the system, thus making the Mii Fighters the only unlockable characters that do not have to be fought against to be unlocked.

*The Mii Fighters, {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', and {{SSB|Captain Falcon}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' are the only playable characters whose stock icons do not depict the character's head or body.

*The Mii Fighters are the only playable characters in the entire series who do not appear as opponents in [[All-Star Mode]].

*Mii Fighters can sometimes be seen in demo sequences. However, the Mii Fighters won't have any custom headgear, and will always wear the male version of the Standard Outfit, even if female.

*Even though the [[announcer]] voice clip "Mii" is used, there are unused clips<ref>https://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._for_Nintendo_3DS#Narration</ref> of the announcer saying "Mii Brawler", "Mii Swordfighter", and "Mii Gunner". These voice clips would later go on to be used in the Mii Fighters' appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

*Individual portraits of each of the different types of Mii Fighter that would appear on the [[character selection screen]] exist in the game's code, though these are actually used for customized searches in [[Share]] mode, displaying a Mii Fighter [[amiibo]], and for when the individual Mii character's appearance is loading or fails to load.

*Coincidentally, the Mii Fighters share the same weapon types as the three third-party DLC characters: {{SSB4|Ryu}} being a Brawler, {{SSB4|Cloud}} being a Swordfighter and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} being a Gunner.
