{{cquote|Gunners are armed with mysterious arm-cannons. They have lots of different projectiles that can be fired from long range.|cite=[[Masahiro Sakurai]]|source=Nintendo Digital Event (E3 2014)}}  
'''Mii Gunners''' ({{ja|射撃タイプ|Shageki Taipu}}, ''Shooting Type'') are one of the three different types of {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s that appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', along with {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}s and {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s.
'''Mii Gunners''' ({{ja|射撃タイプ}}, ''Shooting Type'') are one of the three different types of {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s that appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', along with {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}s and {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}}s.
==Moveset==
Of the three types of Mii Fighters, Gunners are the slowest runners, and their jump height is between that of the Swordfighter and that of the Brawler. Their attacks are equally as fast as the Brawler's and equally as strong as the Swordfighter's, though they trump both of the other types in terms of range.


The Mii Gunner is unranked on the latest [[tier list]], but was 53rd out of 57 characters on the third tier list (when only taking their default moveset and size into account), making them the highest ranking Mii Fighter. Mii Gunner's positives include their fast-starting attacks, wide range of projectiles (including a projectile-based forward aerial) making them very versatile in different situations, fast grab, and above-average range due to their arm cannon.
All damage listed in this table assumes a default Mii of perfectly average height and weight.
 
However, they have some noticeable flaws. If using their default size and height, their overall mobility is very unimpressive, which gives problems with approaching and escaping pressure. Despite being a long-ranged fighter, they have a surprisingly ironic lack of long-ranged KO options, with their strongest moves being effective at close range; this is further emphasized by their moves having a high amount of ending lag. Their fast grab is also heavily outweighed by their very poor grab game, with their throws dealing very low damage, and being unable to combo or KO reliably. Their biggest flaw, however, is the banning of custom moves. Ever since [[EVO 2015]], all custom moves have been banned, forcing Mii Gunners to resort to their slow and situational default moveset and removing the versatility of their custom moves.
 
All of these flaws have landed the Mii Gunner in the bottom tier, and has resulted in very poor tournament representation, much like the two other Mii Fighters.


==Attributes==
Of the three types of {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s, Gunners are the slowest [[dash|runners]], and their [[jump]] height is between that of the {{SSB4|Mii Swordfighter}} and the {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}. Their [[walking]] speed and [[gravity]] are average, they have slightly above average [[air speed]] and [[air acceleration]], and below average [[falling speed]]. Their attacks are equally as fast as the Brawler's and equally as strong as the Swordfighter's, though they trump both of the other types in terms of range. Like the Mii Brawler, they can [[wall jump]].
The Gunner has a wide range of projectiles to keep opponents at a distance with. Mii Gunner excels at creating space from its opponent, as well as creating frame traps on the spot for heavy damage. [[Laser Blaze]] works in a manner similar to that of {{SSB4|Fox}}'s laser, racking up quick damage and forcing a reaction from the enemy. The Gunner's [[Grenade Launch]], while being tough to punish, is able to cover a large range of angles, switch directions up to three times while [[charge|charging]], and fall below the stage in order to [[edge-guarding|attack recovering enemies]]. Its edgeguarding ability is further emphasized by the fact that the grenade will eventually explode even after not hitting anything (the larger explosion helping to catch enemies off stage) and the explosion is multiple hits, making airdodging through it more difficult. [[Flame Pillar]] is able to block projectiles and guard edges, while [[Bomb Drop]] is similar to Grenade Launch in that it leaves a trap that the enemy has to deal with, which is equally capable of edgeguarding while offering decent KO power. [[Lunar Launch]] gives the Gunner a great vertical recovery, while [[Cannon Uppercut]] trades distance for a powerful [[meteor smash]] and [[out of shield]] kill move. Even with the plethora of projectiles Gunner already has, they can force approaches from other projectiles users by reflecting enemy projectiles with their [[Echo Reflector]], or absorbing them and healing with the [[Absorbing Vortex]].
Even outside of their specials, the Mii Gunner's range should not be underestimated. The Gunner's [[forward smash]] and [[up aerial]] outrange those of {{SSB4|Shulk}} while having high knockback and multiple hits, making them useful tools for catching [[roll]]s, [[sidestep]]s, and [[air dodge]]s. Mii Gunner's [[forward aerial]], a move similar to that of {{SSB4|Villager}}, is useful as a quick projectile, and also has the unique property of applying adjustable momentum to the Gunner, similar to {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}'s [[Shadow Ball]]. This can be used for recovery or to evade an enemy looking to punish the move.
Their close-range attacks come out quickly with good knockback, but some have high endlag, making precision vital to avoid punishment. Despite being long-ranged fighters, some of their best KO moves are close-range attacks, such as their up and down smashes, up and down tilts, and back and down aerials. Low running speed and endlag on attacks can make approaching difficult, so forcing an opponent to attempt an approach and keeping them at a distance with various projectiles is a good way to build up damage and eventually send them offstage, where it will be easier to finish them off. Gunners also have good options for recovery, but their recoveries are largely vertical outside of [[Arm Rocket]] which deals no damage. Mii Gunners are also constrained by their weak grab game; while the Gunner's grab itself is relatively fast, their throws deal little damage and are lacking in KO potential.
As a whole, the Gunner is a dominant long-range force, able to force approaches with ease; however, they may find difficulty dealing with up-close pressure from aggressive foes due to their slow speed and generally poor out of shield options. The banning of custom moves, however, is a serious hindrance for the character, resulting in low popularity among competitive players, and poor tournament results.
==Update history==
Like the Mii Swordfighter, the Mii Gunner has been buffed in updates, though not to the same extent as the Swordfighter. The ending lag on its moves has been notably decreased, and it also benefits slightly from the changes to shield mechanics in updates 1.1.0 and 1.1.1, as its attacks (most notably forward smash, down tilt and Charge Blast) have acquired better shield damaging capabilities, enhancing its spacing and zoning game.

|fsmashdesc=Unleashes a series of energy bursts in quick succession, followed by a stronger burst. Hits opponents multiple times and has the second longest range of any non-projectile forward smash (right behind {{SSB4|Corrin}}) along with a very long hitbox duration that makes it difficult to challenge as well as great for pressuring shields and [[edgeguarding]], and possesses decently low ending lag. However, its knockback is weak and lacks reliable KO potential on-stage, doing so at 148%.

|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|16.5}} if all hits connect
|usmashdesc=Releases bursts of fire in an arc above its head, similarly to Samus's up smash, Cover Fire. Similar to her up smash, it has good power, large range above the Gunner, and low ending lag. However, because of the Gunner's height, it can trap opponents in the entire move much easier than Samus, who has trouble getting smaller characters in the blast. KOs at 121%.

|dsmashdesc=Fires two bursts of flame onto the ground, first in front then behind of themselves. Enemies that take the first hit are dragged into the second hit, similarly to {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}, {{SSB4|Toon Link}} and {{SSB4|Cloud}}. First hit has deceptively long reach, even outranging certain long ranged moves such as {{SSB4|Marth}}'s forward smash. The back hit KOs at 155% at the stage's center.

|fairdesc=Fires a weak single energy shot projectile that travels a third of Final Destination. The force of the shot pushes the Gunner backwards slightly and is called a gundash. Can be absorbed or reflected, but is a great spacing option similar to {{SSB4|Villager}}'s slingshot aerials. Low landing lag but extremely high ending lag in the air, especially if using a large Mii.

|uairdmg=1% (hits 1-8) 3% (hit 9)
|uairdesc=Unleashes a series of energy bursts upwards in quick succession, followed by a stronger burst. Acts like the Gunner's forward smash aimed vertically upwards. Somewhat awkward to use as the attack cuts off abruptly if the Gunner lands before the final shot is used, but is a good juggling tool and KO move if the final hit connects at height. It can also be used to follow up with an up tilt or up smash despite the moves' decently high landing lag.
|uairdesc=Fires a series of rapid shots upwards.

|dairname=&nbsp;
|dairdmg=10% (base), 15% (tip), 12% (late)
|dairdmg=10% (clean), 15% (late)
|dairdesc=The Gunner pauses, then fires a single energy burst below themselves. The tip of the burst deals more damage and is a very strong, aerial-only [[meteor smash]], in a similar fashion to {{SSB4|Mega Man}}'s Hard Knuckle. The blast deals less damage after the initial meteor hit. However, the meteor smashing hitbox only lasts for one frame, in a similar fashion to {{SSB4|Palutena}}'s down aerial, and it has incredibly slow startup, making it very difficult to land.
|dairdesc=Fires a single energy burst below himself/herself. Is a [[meteor smash]] if [[sweet spot|sweet spotted]].

Strangely enough, this down throw is identical to {{SSB4|Marth}}'s, with the exact same damage output, launch angle, knockback values, ending lag and animation, although it is not weight-dependent. However, due to the Gunner's slower [[jumpsquat]] and attack speed, it has no guaranteed followups.

*{{Sm|AEMehr|USA}} - The best Mii Gunner player in North America, and the only primarily Mii Gunner player in the United States to make any noticeable impact. His 13th-place finish at {{Trn|IBP Masters Showdown}} with a win over {{Sm|Manny}} marks the best Mii Gunner placement at a major. In addition, he also placed 7th at {{Trn|Noods Noods Noods: Melee Edition}}, which marks the only time a Mii Gunner player placed top 8 at a [[PGR]]-ranked event.
:'''Mii Gunner'''
*{{Sm|Flama|Mexico}} - Best known as a strong online player, having placed 5th at {{Trn|PG Key to Frostbite 2017}}. Offline, he plays Mii Brawler alongside {{SSB4|Mario}} and is best known for placing 9th at {{Trn|Smash Factor 4}} with primarily Mii Gunner.
::'''NA:''' ''A Mii sporting a blaster arm, this fighter is a great choice for those who prefer to fight the battle from a distance. The Mii Gunner has a lot of special projectile moves available, so pick your favorites and use them when needed. Don't forget about standard and smash attacks!''
*{{Sm|Rom|Japan}} - Widely considered to be the best Mii Gunner player in the world. Aside from placements such as 17th at {{Trn|Umebura 15}} and 33rd at {{Trn|Umebura 24}}, he has the best wins out of any other Mii Gunner player, having defeated {{Sm|Kirihara}} at {{Trn|Umebura 24}}, {{Sm|Raito}} at {{Trn|SHI-G Tournament}}, and {{Sm|Pugwest}} at {{Trn|GENESIS 3}}.  
::'''PAL:''' ''A fighter based on your Mii! Gunners are all about the guns, of course. No matter how you set up your specials, you'll end up with a powerful arsenal. And it's not just their special moves that have excellent range - they have standard and smash attacks that can really go the distance too. Use them to dominate the battle from afar.''


===Tier placement and history===
:'''Mii Gunner (Alt.)'''
<!-- Since the Miis were originally built around custom special movesets, an explanation about them is valid.-->
::'''NA:''' ''One of the Mii Gunner's side specials is Stealth Burst. The missile blends in, making it tough to see. Plus, you can control when it explodes, so it's handy for surprise attacks! You could also use Absorbing Vortex to absorb damage done to you by energy weapons. This is one fighter with a lot of tricks up its sleeve!''
The Mii Gunner's perceived potential was received rather lukewarmly; players acknowledged the excellent range of several moves (most notably forward smash and up aerial), the potential for effective [[camping]] with the combined use of forward aerial and custom moves, along with good utility in their down special moves. However, all three kinds of Mii were quickly looked down upon due to the controversy surrounding the allowance of custom movesets in tournaments, as well as the use of custom Mii sizes, with the ban restricting the Mii Gunner to a relatively unimpressive moveset and their poor attributes at their default size, forcing them to contest with a poor grab game, surprising lack of ranged KO options, high ending lag on KO moves, and lackluster mobility, despite their spacing game being relatively good with options such as forward air, Charge Blast and Flame Pillar.

While at first the Mii's choice for custom movesets was up to a [[tournament director]]'s discretion, when custom special movesets began to be discussed, the Mii's tier placements once again began to rise in the eyes of many players, in the case of the Mii Gunner, many considered it to be a mid-tier character. After the universal ban of custom movesets and custom Mii sizes post-EVO 2015, however, expectations of the Mii plummeted once again, and they would go on to be widely viewed as some of the worst characters in the game. In the case of the Mii Gunner, it would at first rank at 52nd on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]] as the second best kind of Mii. It would then see slight drops to 53rd on the second tier list, and 54th on the third and current tier list, though this time as the best kind of default Mii for the last two placings, the primary reason behind this being to its better tournament results than the other kinds of Miis.
Due to a very large stagnation of data on the Miis, as well as no response on whether or not they should be allowed to use custom moves, the Miis were excluded from placement voting on the fourth and most recent tier list and with the game coming to the end of its competitive lifetime only a year after the tier list was released, it is unlikely that the Miis will be added to any official tier lists in the foreseeable future. Tournaments near and after the end of the game's competitive life were more lenient towards the Miis having access to their custom moves, which would leave Mii Gunner in a better spot but by exactly how much is unknown.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The design of the Mii Gunner used in promotional material and in-game renders is based on a slightly edited version of Guest F, one of the pre-loaded Miis available for use in games that feature Mii support. In this case, her hair uses a different design and color from the preloaded version, along with a smaller mouth and a different favorite color (orange instead of pink). She is also based on the default female Mii in Mii Maker, though again, with a different hairstyle.

*According to [[Palutena's Guidance]], their cannons are controlled via motion-controlled triggers, and their backpacks hold all their ammo, but nothing connects the packs to their cannons. Some outfits don't have a backpack or other method of storage with them at all.
*At the Nintendo Digital Event at E3 2014, Sakurai refers to the Mii Gunner's arm-cannon as "mysterious", but in the [[Palutena's Guidance]] conversation dedicated to the Gunner, the "mystery" is solved as the cannons are stated to be controlled via motion-controlled triggers.
*While wearing the Isabelle, K.K. Slider, Inkling, Fox, and Tails DLC costumes, the Mii Gunners hold their weapon in hand rather than wear their cannon on their arm.
**Also according to that conversation, the backpack that Gunners wear holds all their ammo, but nothing on their models connect the packs to their cannons. Also, some outfits don't have a backpack or other method of storage with them at all.
*Mii Gunner has the most [[flame]] attacks of any character in any ''Smash'' game.
*Mii Gunner has the most [[flame]] attacks of any character in any ''Smash'' game.
*Mii Gunner is the only character with a 4-hit standard attack.
**This attack resembles Pit's melee combo in ''{{s|Icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}'' when wielding a {{s|Icaruspedia|Cannon}}.
*Oddly, Mii Gunner's back throw can semi spike and put the opponent into a tumbling state until 30%. Once past, it doesn't start tumbling until around 70%.
*The heaviest possible Mii Gunner has the slowest [[dash]] of any fighter; while it can dash faster than {{SSB4|Samus}}'s [[walking]] speed, it dashes slower than {{SSB4|Mega Man}}'s walking speed.
*Before {{SSB4|Corrin}} (and eventually {{SSBU|Simon}} and {{SSBU|Richter}}), the Mii Gunner's forward smash had the largest range of any forward smash.
