Editing Mii Fighter (SSBU)

:''Not to be confused with {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}, a type of Mii Fighter whose designation has a similar meaning to "fighter".''

'''Mii Fighters''' ({{ja|Miiファイター|Mii Faitā}}, ''Mii Fighters'') are playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. They were confirmed as playable characters on June 12th, 2018 with their [[Mii Brawler (SSBU)|Brawler]], [[Mii Swordfighter (SSBU)|Swordfighter]], and [[Mii Gunner (SSBU)|Gunner]] variants returning. Unlike in ''Smash 4'', fully customizable Mii Fighters are now usable in [[online play]] against anybody in Quickplay, rather than just friends. The Brawler, Swordfighter and Gunner are classified as [[Fighter number|Fighters #51, #52, and #53]] respectively.

The Mii Fighters have twelve different voice options, with all but two provided by a different voice actor: Yūji Kishi (Voice 1), Umeka Shōji (Voices 2 & 12), Takashi Ōhara (Voice 3), Ayumi Fujimura (Voice 4), Ryōtarō Okiayu (Voice 5), Makiko Ōmoto (Voice 6), Michihiko Hagi (Voice 7), Minami Takayama (Voice 8), Hideo Ishikawa (Voice 9), Kimiko Saitō (Voice 10), and Kiyoyuki Yanada (Voice 11). There is also an option for them to be silent, as they were in ''Smash 4''.

One of the biggest changes involves them now having fixed attributes for each type of Mii Fighter, which streamlines their previously height and weight-dependent stats: the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} is now the lightest and fastest, the {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}} is the slowest and heaviest, and the {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} is the middle ground of the two. In addition, their standard attacks have been made more reliable through a reduction of lag, and the majority of their extensive special moves have been heavily modified to have enhanced speed, combo potential or power, or even replaced by completely new attacks. Most notably, the Mii Fighters' default special moves have been given a variety of buffs to make their KO or combo potential surprisingly high, meaning that they can now function equally as well with only their default moveset; this also eliminates their previous weakness of situational default moves with low KO potential.

However, the Mii Fighters have also been nerfed indirectly. Their new fixed attributes give each of them a new specific weakness; for example, the Mii Brawler is now a fast-falling middleweight that is easy to both combo and KO, the Mii Swordfighter's average stats give it no advantage apart from airspeed, and the Mii Gunner now lacks in mobility. Additionally, they retain noteworthy weaknesses from ''Smash 4'', such as the Mii Swordfighter having a mediocre [[disjointed]] range for a swordsman, the Mii Brawler still having a short reach, and the Mii Gunner having very slow mobility and attacks with high ending lag.

Overall, the Mii Fighters now fare significantly better and have been repurposed to perform more consistently with or without customization, especially when compared to their ''SSB4'' iteration with default custom moves. While their unique access to custom moves now makes them tournament legal, their limited representation and results have made it difficult to determine their standings in the metagame.

*{{change|All three types of Mii Fighter have had their body proportions adjusted: they now look much more realistic, compared to the more cartoony proportions in ''Smash 4''.}}

*{{change|While still based on Guest Miis, the default Mii Fighters have an altered appearance.}}

**{{change|The Mii Gunner's default outfit is now a bodysuit with a character-colored jacket and boots, and their arm cannon also has a different appearance.}}

*{{nerf|The Mii Fighters' height and weight can no longer be customized, removing the ability to optimize their size and weight for different playstyles.}}

**{{change|Each type of Mii Fighter has a different preset weight value, with Mii Gunner being the heaviest and Mii Brawler being the lightest.}}

*{{change|On the [[character selection screen]], all three classes of Mii Fighter are listed separately instead of sharing a slot, unless the character selection screen is set to stacked mode.}}

**{{change|As a result, and regardless of whether the character selection screen is stacked, the [[announcer]] now says "Mii Brawler", "Mii Swordfighter", and "Mii Gunner" instead of simply "Mii" for all three classes. The only exception is when stacked Mii Fighters are chosen in the [[tips]] section.}}  

**{{change|Presumably to prevent the display of inappropriate names, "Mii BRAWLER", "Mii SWORDFIGHTER", or "Mii GUNNER" is displayed as their name in Quickplay instead of the Mii’s custom name}}

**Additionally, in the "display by series" organization on the site, the Mii Fighters use the Mii Channel logo instead of the ''Smash Bros.'' logo, as well as their character trailer using the {{SSBUMusicLink|Other|Find Mii/Find Mii II Medley}}.

**Notably, the Mii Fighters can obtain a series bonus from both the {{uv|Mii}} and {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} series, making them the only characters that can obtain a series bonus from two series of spirits.

*Despite being fighters #51, #52, and #53 respectively, they are not placed between {{SSBU|Greninja}} and {{SSBU|Palutena}} in the [[character selection screen]] but at the end just before the Random option, just like in ''SSB4''.

*The announcer's voice clips for the individual Mii Fighter types are previously [[Unused content (SSB4)#Sounds|unused voice clips]] found in both versions of ''SSB4''{{'}}s data. As a result, the announcer voice clip for the Miis in the previous games is used only if [[Echo Fighters]] are set to "Stacked" in the [[Options]], and the Miis are selected in the [[Vault]]'s [[Tips]] menu, the previous game's announcer clip will play.

*** Despite the clip being present via the Tips menu, it is not available to be played in the [[Sound Test]].

*The Mii Fighters are the only characters in ''Ultimate'' to be customizable. Their names, outfits and custom specials moves can be changed and customized like in ''SSB4''. Custom [[equipment]] has been replaced with custom voices.

*The Mii Fighters are the only fighters whose close-up eyes/faces aren't shown in their [[Final Smash]], the reason likely being that their appearance is customizable.

*On the [[character selection screen]], the Mii Fighters' icon in the Japanese version shows their names within only one row, while in the English version it is shown with two rows. This trait is shared with {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}},  {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}, {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}} (British and Australian English only), {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} and {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}.

**Even though the Mii Brawler and Mii Gunner's names are able to take up one line without squeezing the letters in the Japanese version, the English version has their names take up two lines. This was likely done to be consistent with the Mii Swordfighter, whose name is long enough to require two lines for it.

*Despite the game's marketing suggesting that it begins with only the starter characters from ''Smash 64'' available, the Mii Fighters can also be counted as starter characters due to them not having a Challenger Approaching fight, and the fact that the player is able to create them immediately upon booting up the game.

*When a Mii Fighter is unlocked in World of Light, they are not able to be fully deleted. Thus, the player cannot remove them from the character select screen.

*The Mii Fighters are the only characters in ''Ultimate'' to not be usable in all of the game's modes, as they are unplayable in {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}, [[Smashdown]] and when testing a [[stage]] in [[Stage Builder]].

**Despite not being playable in Classic Mode, they appear in the Classic Mode mural and are fought in ten of the routes.

*In languages with gender-specific names, the voice clip from the announcer on the victory screen is slightly different from the one used on the character select screen, instead featuring a noticeable translation of "the". They share this trait with {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Villager}}, and {{SSBU|Inkling}}.

*The Mii Fighters have a stock icon that represents all three of their types, seen on ''Ultimate''{{'}}s website and in pre-release demos of the game. This icon doesn't appear in the final game, with each class having its own individual stock icon instead.

**This was also the case with [[Mii Fighter (SSB4)|their appearance]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', where a head icon for the Mii Fighters was seen in E3 2014 but goes unused in the final game in favor of individual stock icons for each class.

*The Mii Fighters are some of the few characters who have only one blast KO voice clip. The others are {{SSBU|Jigglypuff}} in the international versions, {{SSBU|Mewtwo}}, {{SSBU|Roy}}, {{SSBU|Bayonetta}}, {{SSBU|Ridley}}, and {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}.

*Although Mii Fighters are voiced, they stay silent when KO'd by reaching 0 HP in [[Stamina Mode]], regardless of what their voice setting is. {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} and {{SSBU|R.O.B.}} also share this oddity. While {{SSBU|Samus}}, {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} and {{SSBU|Duck Hunt}} are also voiced, they are exceptions, due to Stamina KO cries in ''Ultimate'' being based on Blast KO cries.

**However, unlike Mr. Game & Watch and R.O.B., a voice clip that would be used for Stamina KOs normally [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ujV1QTulBY exists] within the game's data for each voice type. {{SSBU|Joker}} initially shared this trait until the version 3.1.0 patch.

*Despite being captured during the story of World of Light and appearing in many spirit battles, none of the Mii Fighters are spawned by [[Galeem]] nor [[Dharkon]] as [[False character|puppet fighters]] during the final battle, presumably due to their nature as customizable characters. This is shared with {{SSBU|Olimar}}.

*Unlike ''SSB4'', ''Ultimate'' has data for original Miis, like the Mii Fighters in World of Light. Information and instructions on how to recreate them are on the website [https://www.miilibrary.com/NX/SmashUltimate Mii Library].
