The Mii Gunner has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in their transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate'', but was buffed overall. Despite the faster pace of ''Ultimate'', many of their moves have seen several improvements that counteract this, and some of their weaknesses have been lowered to some degree. | The Mii Gunner has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in their transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate'', but was buffed overall.

Like the other {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s, the Mii Gunner now has set attributes, including high [[weight]] (now weighing as much as {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}, surpassing the largest possible Mii Fighter in ''SSB4'') that significantly increases their survivability in general, especially since the Gunner's below average [[falling speed]] has been unaltered. The Gunner retains their general moveset, though with various buffs | Like the other {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s, the Mii Gunner now has set attributes, including high [[weight]] (now weighing as much as {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}, surpassing the largest possible Mii Fighter in ''SSB4'') that significantly increases their survivability in general, especially since the Gunner's below average [[falling speed]] has been unaltered. The Gunner has retains their general moveset, though with various buffs to it. Their inconsistent [[neutral attack]] and [[up aerial]] now connect better due to faster transition speed, and some of the Gunner's moves have been given more utility due to a reduction of lag (most notable with [[forward tilt]]), greatly increased damage, or KO potential. The second hit of [[down smash]] now acts individually for each hit instead of leading into one another, making it more useful as a traditional smash attack. Their [[grab]] game was also improved; standing grab has vastly more range, all of their [[throw]]s deal more damage (especially [[up throw]]), and [[down throw]] is now much more reliable for starting combos until mid percentages. As well, a few of the universal changes are benefitial for the Gunner, with the universal frame 3 jumpsquat and reductions to [[landing lag]] giving them faster access to their air game and leaving them less vulnerable against shielded attacks, and the latter change isn't as detrimental due to their decent [[out of shield]] game. | ||
Most of the Gunner's zoning-based special moves have been significantly buffed. Many of their strongest projectiles (such as [[Charge Blast]], grenades from [[Grenade Launch]], super missiles from [[Gunner Missile]], and [[Stealth Burst]]) deal vastly increased damage or knockback, alleviating some of the Gunner's difficulty to land KOs. Special moves that haven't gained power buffs instead have improved utility: [[Flame Pillar]] is now a multi-hit move that can initiate follow-ups; [[Laser Blaze]] has no damage falloff, improving its usage in long-distanced camping; [[Echo Reflector]] reflects projectiles with more power and far higher speed; [[Bomb Drop]] has less ending lag, a longer fuse, and can be manually detonated, improving its use in stage control; and [[Absorbing Vortex]] heals for more damage in addition to having an actual hitbox, giving it situational use for combos and disrupting. The Gunner's [[recovery]] moves have also been buffed, as [[Lunar Launch]] and [[Cannon Jump Kick]] travel a longer distance, the latter now has excellent [[out of shield]] KO power, and [[Arm Rocket]]'s trajectory can be altered during travel. | Most of the Gunner's zoning-based special moves have been significantly buffed.
