The Meme Gunner ({{ja|ミーム射撃タイプ|Mīmu Shageki Taipu}}, ''Meme Shooting Type'') is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They were confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018, along with the other Meme Fighter types, Bruhler and Sad fighter. Meme Gunner is classified as Fighter #53. | |||
Currently, the Meme Gunner is ranked 89th in the Z and Y tier PAL respectively (which stands for '''Z'''erouse, '''Y''' are you using this again?), as the absolute worst character in all of Ultimate's fighting history. Players have known that their projectiles hit as hard as a beach ball, they move even slower than a glacier, and can get sent to the blast zone as quickly as a Magikarp does. They are, without a shred of doubt, absolutely terrible in competitive play! The player sitting next to you can get up and drink their cup of tea before promptly sending Meme Gunner to the blast zone. Okay, fine, maybe neutral B can sort of being annoying once every thousand sets, but even a cretin can see this attack coming by a mile away. It has unquestionably the lowest range in the game, the absolute slowest attacks, and being utterly slow in the air and ground ensures Meme Gunner will never get themselves going, causing them to automatically lose games to even the lowest of Elite Smash players such as low GSP King Dedede scrubs on Ultimate’s superb online system. | |||
Meme Gunner is so abysmal that it loses to every character in the game. Little Mac can stomp on them with his overwhelmingly fast and skull-crushing aerials, Brawl Ganondorf can turn it to minced meat with a single down tilt, and the mere sight (God forbid!) of another Mii Gunner will automatically cause Meme Gunner to flimsily fall in a frail fashion, floundering fabulously in a fractured state for five hundred years. | |||
Unsurprisingly, Meme Gunner has the absolute worst matchups in the game, with -8 matchups against Pikachu, Palutena, and, worst of all, -3,000,000 matchups against players with basic competence. Its only matchups where it does well against is against players who don’t know what you’re doing, those being against smashers like GSPROOKIE, I M DUM, and STEW PID. This cements Mii Gunner a place as the best death fodder in the game, with even Brawl Zelda mains wondering how Mii Gunner does not try to trick poor smashers into thinking they could possibly win games. | |||
==Attributes== | |||
The Meme Gunner was supposed to be a tank, the strongest among Mii Fighters. However, Sakurai at launch made some "little" tweaks that were a bit too much if i were to say. The Gunner has access to 12 different special moves: [[Charge Blast]], [[Laser Blaze]], and [[Grenade Launch]] (Neutral Special), [[Flame Pillar]], [[Stealth Burst]], and [[Gunner Missile]] (Side Special), [[Lunar Launch]], [[Cannon Jump Kick]], and [[Arm Rocket]] (Up Special), and [[Echo Reflector]], [[Bomb Drop]], and [[Absorbing Vortex]] (Down Special). However, they all come out at absurdly slow rates, with Gunner Missle (being the fastest one) coming out on frame 513 while Cannon Jump comes out frame 999. | |||
Although it has "diverse" specials, its hitboxes are so small and laggy that it fails to faze even fragile opponents like [[Goldeen]]. As the long range and projectile-heavy Meme Fighter, many of their specials excel at inviting approaches, wasting your time, edge-inviting, and other detriments from a distance. Charge Blast is a laughably weak option which is extremely inconsistent, sluggish, and underwhelming when fully charged. Gunner Missile is both good at inciting confused reactions, since ninety-eight times out of ten the hitbox just doesn't come out. The Super variant deals very unsuper amounts of damage, while the Homing variant can easily be reflected back and has glaring accuracy issues. Laser Blaze racks up unexciting amounts of damage while also giving opponents ample amounts of time to punish, making it a difficul to justify tool similar to Falco and Fox's [[Blaster]]. Finally, Flame Pillar and Bomb Drop are suboptimal tools for ledgetrapping and setting up kill confirms. A bomb drop at mid-high percentages can unreliably confirm into back aerial while an opponent is listening to Netflix in Flame Pillar. | |||
Accompanying the Meme Gunner's shallow collection of zoning specials is a very interesting and varying set of normals. While many of the Gunner's normals suffer from mild ending lag, they either possess low KO'ing power or miniscule range. Forward smash and up aerial are both among the shortest-ranged moves in the game (the latter which cannot KO Pichu at 999%), forward tilt and neutral air are overused tools to push pressuring opponents off of them, and forward aerial is a very narrow move, which only can edgeguard opponents that float right near <eme Gunner at ledge. Alongside the aforementioned moves are a slew of moves that have irrespectable KO'ing power such as jab and edge attack. | |||
Lastly, the Meme Gunner has not many choices for recovery. With the exception of Cannon Jump Kick, most don't cover Meme Gunner's hurtboxes and gain very little distance. THere is a high possibility that upon using an up special, Gunner's cannons will explode and cause Mii Gunner to sustain damage, while also leaving it helpless. | |||
Overall, the Meme Gunner is excellent if one want to throw away their matches and waste time. The ability to incite a laugh at the opponent will make one consider how could one possibly function with such low-powered and slow specials. | |||
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''== | |||
Like the other {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s, the Meme Gunner retains their general moveset, with many direct changes to how their [[special move]]s function. The changes to the Gunner's specials were not as drastic as those of the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} (who gained four completely new special moves), but are rather alterations and improvements to the Gunner's moveset, much like the {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}. However, the Gunner's changes are simply humungous nerfs. | |||
Like the other Mii Fighter types, the Mii Gunner now has set attributes, including high [[weight]] (the Gunner is now a heavyweight weighing as much as {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}, even surpassing the largest possible Mii Fighter in ''Smash 4''), significantly increasing their survivability in general, especially since the Gunner's below average [[falling speed]] has been unaltered. This means Mii Gunner will be combo food towards ferocious threats like [[Eevee]] and ''Melee'' {{SSBM|Bowser}}. | |||
The Gunner's standard moveset has been nerfed in various ways. Their inconsistent [[jab]] and [[up aerial]] now connect worse by their slower animations, and some of the Gunner's moves have been given less utility due to an increase of lag ([[forward tilt]]), greatly decreased damage ([[forward smash]]), or KO potential (forward smash and the second hit of [[down smash]], which now acts individually for each hit instead of leading into one another). | |||
The universal frame 3 jumpsquat and reduction to landing lag benefit the Gunner as well, as they now have faster access to their powerful air game and are less vulnerable against shield. The Gunner's [[throw]]s, previously notorious for all dealing 5%, have been buffed, with [[up throw]] now being the second most damaging in the game behind {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}, and [[down throw]] being much more reliable for starting combos till mid percents. | |||
The Gunner's special moves have been a mix of changes, though the majority of their specials have been significantly nerfed. Many of their projectiles (such as [[Charge Blast]], super missiles from [[Gunner Missile]], and [[Stealth Burst]]) do vastly decreased damage or knockback, fixing one of the Gunner's old problems of KO potential. Those that have not gained power buffs have instead been improved as utility projectiles, with [[Flame Pillar]], [[Laser Blaze]] and [[Bomb Drop]] each having heavily downgraded abilities (multi-hit combo initiation, no damage falloff, and stage control, respectively). The Gunner's [[recovery]] moves have also been decreased, as [[Lunar Launch]] travels significantly slower, [[Cannon Jump Kick]] has distasteful [[out of shield]] KO power, and [[Arm Rocket]]'s trajectory cannot be altered during travel. | |||
However, the | However, the Meme Gunner has received notable nerfs. The Gunner's mobility changes are by far the most glaring weakness from their transition to ''Ultimate'', as they now have to rely on spacing to compensate for their significantly lowered movement speed, which is amplified due to the cast receiving many movement buffs in general. The Gunner's powerful tilts have been slightly toned down, limiting their fastest grounded KO options, while [[forward aerial]], previously a pinnacle of the Gunner's [[neutral game]], had its distance reduced without compensation for landing lag, though this has since been marginally rectified in the 2.0 update. | ||
All of the Gunner's specials have been nerfed, most notably with [[Grenade Launch]] and Gunner Missile; Grenade Lauch's lowered ending lag does not compensate for the utility it had in ''Smash 4'' (since its startup was heavily increased and it can now only fire in one direction and trajectory), while homing missiles now sacrifice homing ability for speed, making them less effective. Finally, the Meme Gunner's combo potential is still limited despite the useless buffs they received, as their combo initiators act as "hit-and-run" spacing attacks with few followups (such as their tilt attacks and neutral aerial). | |||
Overall, the | Overall, the Meme Gunner has been repurposed into a punching bag that falls on the first punch, who has to rely on their special moveset's zoning abilities to think about doing anything and encourage opponents to mercilessly laugh at them, similar to [[Goldeen]]. While a more effective fighter at being laughed at compared to their iteration in ''Smash 4'', the Gunner's viability compared to the cast and, more significantly, their impact on the metagame, are still yet to be determined due to their nonexistent playerbase and results. Nevertheless, it has seen success, with players such as {{Sm|FREEDAMEES}} placing in the top 2048 of {{Trn|Scrubs Unite}}. | ||

Both hits have deceptively high range, especially the second hit. The second hit uses the combined damage of the Gunner's previous down smash, which connected into each other; as a result, it has very high KO power, KOing Mario from the edge of Final Destination at 66%. | ||

|nairdesc=Sweeps their arm cannon downward in an arc around | |nairdesc=Sweeps their arm cannon downward in an arc around themself similar to Ike’s. It is the Gunner's fastest aerial (frame 8), and has a high amount of active frames alongside good coverage. At low percents (especially against super heavyweight characters), a neutral aerial on grounded opponents can lead to a neutral combo, forward tilt, dash attack, forward smash, and up smash. However, its high base knockback makes followups almost impossible at mid-percents unless it is a projectile. As a result, it is mostly an aerial "get-off-me" option, and is useful for landing since it has 11 frames of landing lag. | ||

|fairdesc=Fires a single weak energy shot projectile; the force of the shot pushes the Mii Gunner backward. The recoil of the forward aerial can be used by the Mii Gunner to do a gundash to aid in recovery or for evasion (tilting the stick backwards while shifting back from recoil allows Mii Gunner to effectively keep distance from opponents more than air dodging). Though its range was shortened from ''Smash 4'' (it now travels 1/4 of Final Destination instead of 1/3), it has reduced ending lag, which makes it better for performing combos. If used while close to the ground (the energy projectile hitting the opponent just before the Gunner lands), the Gunner will be able to act almost immediately upon landing. | |fairdesc=Fires a single weak energy shot projectile; the force of the shot pushes the Mii Gunner backward.

The pillar, similar to {{SSBU|Robin}}'s [[Arcfire]], hits multiple times, with the last hit launching opponents away. If used in midair, the projectile's angle is more diagonal and travels further. The pillar will slowly drift downwards if it hits an aerial opponent, allowing it to function as an edgeguard if it hits an enemy near a ledge. It is otherwise a useful deterring tool, and can start combos from careless approaches. Can confirm into a charge blast, reliably KOing opponents at 80 percent on the ledge. | ||

KOs as early as 115% onstage. However, it is extremely ineffective for recovery, as it covers the lowest vertical distance out of all the Mii Gunner's up specials. | ||

Inputting the move again causes the bomb to automatically detonate while dropping another bomb, making it difficult for opponents to approach the Gunner. It is overall a useful stage control move, as it can block opposing projectiles, trap opponents at ledges, and can even KO at around 170%. However, opponents can knock the bomb away with their own attacks, and the bomb will harm the Mii Gunner while it is knocked around. | ||

However, unlike Ness, Absorbing Vortex does not have multiple hits, instead only having a single hit upon start-up (7 frames). Heals 1.4x the damage the Gunner would have taken. Upon activation, as well as when absorbing projectiles, any nearby opponents will take slight damage. This hitbox is capable of [[lock]]ing. However, the minimal histun of this move invalidates the combo potential. Additionally, Absorbing Vortex reduces falling speed, allowing Gunner to stall in mid air, allowing it to be used as a potential landing mixup. | ||

==Tier placement and history== | |||
*{{Sm| | With low longevity, laughable offensive prescence, it's not surprising to see how Meme Gunner is completely unviable since the beginning of the competitive scene. "This has a gimmick, I swear!" {{Sm|GSPROOKIE}} had told on Twitter after losing a match to FREEDAMEES on Elite Smash. When the latter tried facing scrubs outside of that noob, he subsequently ended up losing every other game he played. After one week and a bottle of Coke, FREEDAMEES announced on Twitter his switching to mains, which rendered the character's metagame to be highly stagnant. Since then, other players have been unable to reach his success, with players recognizing how poor Meme Gunner's matchups were, especially against {{SSBU|Pikachu}} with scrubby pancaking stuff. Pikachu could chain grab Gunner at any percent with down throw until 999%, finishing with [[Thunder]]. Even Little Mac could use up throw to multiple up aerials, which would send Gunner to the blast zone within thirty seconds. This made it hapless against most of the cast, meaning it was great at granting free wins towards opponents and being a kind way to gift them happiness if they're down in the dumps. | ||
