The Mii Gunner is ranked 58th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing them in the C+ tier. This is a major improvement from their ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' iteration, which was 53rd out of 57 on that game's third tier list before ultimately going unranked on the fourth.

==Attributes==
The Mii Gunner has been redesigned to be the slow, yet durable combatant of the three Mii Fighters. They are tied with Link, Yoshi, Captain Falcon, and Min Min in terms of weight, possess an average walking speed, the 5th slowest dashing speed, and 14th slowest air speed in the game. As with the other two Mii Fighter types, 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).

Like the other Mii Fighters, one of the primary strengths of the Mii Gunner is their diverse set of versatile specials. As the long range and projectile-heavy Mii Fighter, many of their specials excel at neutralizing approaches, racking up damage, [[edgeguarding]], and shield pressure from a distance. Charge Blast is a very good KO'ing option which is extremely consistent, quick, and powerful when fully charged. Gunner Missile is good at both spacing and keeping enemies out. The Super variant deals a solid bit of damage and knockback while the Homing variant can wall out approaches and also help the Gunner initiate approaches of their own. Laser Blaze racks up decent damage while also causing flinching, making it a valuable tool similar to {{SSBU|Falco}}'s [[Blaster]]. Finally, Flame Pillar and Bomb Drop are both good tools for ledgetrapping and setting up kill confirms. A bomb drop at mid-high percentages can reliably confirm into back aerial while an opponent trapped in Flame Pillar can be combo'd into a fully charged Charge Blast. Additionally, the Mii Gunner can also further solidify their defensive playstyle with the usage of Echo Reflector and Absorbing Vortex, both of which aid in countering other campy or projectile-based characters.

Accompanying the Mii Gunner's vast 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 high KO'ing power or range. Forward smash and up aerial are both among the longest-ranged moves in the game (the latter which can secure very early KO's at the top of the blast line and the former being an excellent way of reading rolls and covering landing options), forward tilt and neutral air are good tools to push pressuring opponents off of them, and forward aerial is a very useful move, which not only can edgeguard and space opponents from a distance due to it being a projectile, but it also can be used to perform a technique called gundashing, which is an excellent technique that significantly helps mitigate the Mii Gunner's lacking mobility and their recovery. Alongside the aforementioned moves are a slew of moves that have respectable KO'ing power such as up smash, up tilt, down tilt, down smash, and back aerial.

Lastly, the Mii Gunner has adequate choices for recovery. With the exception of Cannon Jump Kick, Lunar Launch and Arm Rocket both provide a fantastic amount of distance, especially Arm Rocket which has far more control both horizontally and vertically. This combined with their heavy weight gives the Mii Gunner a decent ability to survive at higher percents.

Of course, the Gunner does not come without their flaws. While many of their moves have tremendous range or KO'ing power, most of them are very laggy. This is especially prominent with their up and down tilt, which both have decent start up, but significant ending lag while moves that are fast such as forward tilt and neutral air have poor range and KO potential. As a result, they struggle to acquire reliable KOs outside of a fully charged Charge Blast.

This is especially prominent with their up and down tilts, which both have decent start up but significant ending lag while moves that are fast such as forward tilt and neutral air have poor range and KO potential. As a result, they struggle to acquire reliable KOs outside of a fully charged Charge Blast. Laser Blaze is a fairly slow and easily interceptable projectile; Grenade Launch travels in a very slow and short-ranged arc that no longer can be charged or controlled; Flame Pillar has relatively substantial lag on both ends and doesn't last as long as other flame-arc moves; and Bomb Drop can be hit back to the Gunner, making it a poor choice to use against opponents with disjoints.
While the Mii Gunner's array of special moves are all very potent, there are some that do not come without their weaknesses. Laser Blaze is a fairly slow and easily interceptible projectile, Grenade Launch travels in a very slow and short-ranged arc that no longer can be charged or controlled, Flame Pillar has relatively substantial lag on both ends and doesn't last as long as other flame-arc moves, and Bomb Drop can be hit back to the Gunner, making them a poor choice to use against opponents with disjoints.


As mentioned before, the Mii Gunner has terrible mobility. Their air speed, dashing speed, and initial dashing speed are among the slowest in the game, making them a very sluggish fighter both on the ground and in the air outside of gundashing. Additionally, their status as a heavyweight makes them very easy to combo despite their decent survivability, and while their recoveries are good, they do not come without their weaknesses. Arm Rocket, despite its fantastic mobility and distance, possesses no damaging hitbox and allows the Mii Gunner to be easily gimped by opponents with attacks that can [[reverse]] the Mii Gunner such as {{SSBU|Mario}} and the {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}; Lunar Launch, while in possession of good vertical distance and a relatively powerful projectile, has poor horizontal distance; and Cannon Jump Kick trades recovery potential for offensive power, providing very little distance both horizontally and vertically while also being slow and easily intercepted.

Overall, the Mii Gunner is a jack-of-all-trades amalgamation of various projectile-based fighters. The ability to mix and match several different special moves adds a unique layer of versatility by allowing several different playstyles for the same basic character, making Mii Gunner among the most unpredictable to fight against. However, all of the customizable special moves have fatal flaws to prevent them from being overpowered and/or are inferior versions of similar moves other fighters possess. Their strengths do marginally outweigh their weaknesses, and as a result, Mii Gunner is a fighter that excels at walling out opponents while struggling up close. Their multitude of projectiles provides them with countless options to keep opponents away, rack up damage, and edgeguard. However, they must be mindful and extremely careful, as one mistake can cause them to take a huge chunk of damage. They are a relatively simple character to pick up with a playstyle similar to {{SSBU|Samus}} and can be a potent zoner, but due to their aforementioned weaknesses, they are considered to be worse at zoning than characters such as Samus, {{SSBU|Snake}}, and the [[Belmonts]].

==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
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.
Like the other {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s, the Mii 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 a mixed bag of buffs and nerfs overall.
 
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. However, the rest of the Gunner's attributes have been heavily worsened, with many of their stats being significantly below average or even bottom 10 (notably their [[run]] speed, initial dash speed, and [[air speed]]). As a result, the Gunner's staying power is now above average, but their overall mobility has become one of the slowest in the game, further enforcing the Gunner's camping-centric playstyle.


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 that noticeably improves their performance. 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.
The Gunner's standard moveset has been buffed in various ways. Their inconsistent [[jab]] 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 ([[forward tilt]]), greatly increased 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).


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.
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.


However, the Mii Gunner has received notable nerfs. Their powerful tilts have been slightly toned down, limiting their fastest grounded KO options. [[Forward aerial]], previously a pinnacle of the Gunner's [[neutral game]], had its distance reduced without compensation for landing lag. Albeit vastly buffed, some of the Gunner's specials have also seen downgrades; Grenade Launch's startup was heavily increased and it can now only fire in one direction and trajectory, while its lowered ending lag does not compensate for its loss in utility, and Gunner Missile's homing missiles now sacrifice homing ability for speed, making them less effective.
The Gunner's special moves have been a mix of changes, though the majority of their specials have been significantly buffed. Many of their projectiles (such as [[Charge Blast]], super missiles from [[Gunner Missile]], and [[Stealth Burst]]) do vastly increased 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 improved abilities (multi-hit combo initiation, no damage falloff, and stage control, respectively). The Gunner's [[recovery]] moves have also been buffed, as [[Lunar Launch]] travels significantly higher, [[Cannon Jump Kick]] has excellent [[out of shield]] KO power, and [[Arm Rocket]]'s trajectory can be altered during travel.


Despite their numerous buffs, universal gameplay changes have been detrimental to the Gunner overall. The weakening of [[rage]] slightly tones down their KO power at low percentages (though in a few cases, this is compensated by their moves' standalone KO power being increased). The biggest hindrance comes from the universal increase in mobility, which hurts the Gunner more than any other character; unlike the rest of the cast, the Gunner's mobility has been reduced itself, as many of their stats are now significantly below average or even among the worst (notably their [[dash|run]] and initial dash speeds, and their [[air speed]]), and the roster's generally faster speed favors faster-paced, more aggressive gameplay, allowing the cast to get past the Gunner's zoning tools with varying degrees of ease. This is further pronounced by the nerfs to projectiles' shield damage, as the Gunner's playstyle highly revolves around them, thus hindering the Gunner more than most other characters. The two lattermost changes thus force them to rely on more precise spacing to compensate for their significantly lowered movement speed and their projectiles' lower threat level.
However, the Mii 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.


Overall, the Mii Gunner's changes have further pronounced their caveats and flaws. Their playstyle has been repurposed into a slow-moving, hard-hitting heavyweight projectile fighter, relying on their above average staying power and their special moveset's zoning abilities to rack up damage and force opponents into making a mistake to capitalize on, similar to {{SSBU|Samus}} and {{SSBU|Simon}}; changes to their special moves also allow many more of their combinations to shine through. However, the Gunner's slower attributes further enforces their zoner-centric playstyle, which doesn't tend to fare as favorably as in ''SSB4'' due to the quicker pace of ''Ultimate''. The Gunner must also still contend with weaknesses from the previous game, predominantly a poor melee [[approach]] and their moveset's heavy ending lag, and slight difficulty in landing some of their powerful KO options. Besides, it's important to note that game updates have given other returning veterans various buffs, whereas the Gunner has received comparatively less significant changes, as well as the nerfs to projectiles' shield damage adversely affecting them. In the end, the Gunner is a better character than they were in ''SSB4'', they are considered the second most viable of the three Miis, and perform better relative to the cast, though not at the same level of various other returning characters.
Some 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 Mii Gunner's combo potential is still limited despite the 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 Mii Gunner has been repurposed into a slow-moving, hard-hitting heavyweight projectile fighter, who has to rely on their special moveset's zoning abilities to rack up damage and force opponents into making a mistake to capitalize on, similar to {{SSBU|Samus}} and the [[Belmont]]s. While a more effective fighter 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 small playerbase and sparse results. Nevertheless, it has seen success, with players such as {{Sm|Katakiri}} placing in the top 8 of {{Trn|2GG: Run it Back}}.

Coupled with its very long hitbox duration, it is overall difficult to challenge, pressures shields well, and is useful for edgeguarding. It is relatively safe on shield at max distance due to its decently low ending lag. However, it is the Gunner's slowest smash attack (frame 17).

Like in ''Smash 4'', opponents may fall out of the looping hits if they are at an extremely high percent, are hit by the sides of the explosion's hitboxes, or while they are standing on a platform above the Gunner. KOs Mario on Final Destination at 122%.

|dsmashdesc=Fires two bursts of flame toward the ground, first in front then behind of themselves. Each flame burst has deceptively high range, though the second one has more knockback and range than the first. The first hit starts on frame 9, making it the Gunner's fastest smash attack.  
|dsmashdesc=Fires two bursts of flame onto the ground, first in front then behind of themself. Each flame burst launches opponents away, though the second one has significantly more knockback than the first. The first hit starts on frame 9, making it the Gunner's fastest smash attack. 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 themselves 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.

|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, and its vertical reach is so high it can [[shark]] through certain stages.<ref>https://twitter.com/MAY0P0N/status/1207635122008117248?s=20</ref> Unlike in ''Smash 4'', it now deals less hits but more damage, and can complete in a short hop, making it less awkward to use. However, the attack still cuts off abruptly if the Gunner lands before the final shot is used. A good juggling tool and KO move if the final hit connects at height, and can limit the aerial options of opponents or force them to air dodge. Up aerial's looping hits can also combo into other moves when landing, such as into up tilt as a KO combo.

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, although it is less reliable for such a purpose compared to similar moves (like {{SSBU|Ness}}' [[PK Fire]]) due to its high ending lag. Can confirm into a Charge Blast, reliably KOing opponents at 80 percent on the ledge.

==In [[competitive play]]==
==In competitive play==
Much like the other Mii Fighters, the Mii Gunner was perceived lukewarmly on release due to the improvements to their movesets. While the severe nerfs to their mobility were noted, along with the loss of their more infamous camping tools (most notably a shorter forward aerial, weaker [[Gunner Missile]]s, and the nerfs to [[Grenade Launch]]), the buffs to their other moves more than made up for it, as it improved a majority of attacks that were lackluster in ''Smash 4'' (such as forward smash, up aerial and their throws). Overall, they were considered a relatively average "zoner"-type character. Despite this, the Gunner was one of the most obscure characters in competitive play in the early metagame; both the Mii Gunner and {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} were overshadowed by the extremely positive perception of the {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}, who took in most of the Mii Fighter's representation overall.
 
While it was relatively difficult to find Mii Gunner users in the first year of ''Ultimate'''s competitive lifespan, interest in the character took an unprecedented turn upon the release of the [[Sans]] [[Alternate_costume_(SSBU)/Mii_Fighter|Mii Fighter costume]], which caused representation of the character to skyrocket for some time. Despite this, the Mii Gunner has not made much of an impact in the competitive scene, with only a few notable users achieving lukewarm results, such as {{Sm|Katakiri}}, {{Sm|Deon}}, and {{Sm|Protom}}; professionals usually agree that the Gunner is significantly outclassed by other zoners with similar playstyles, such as {{SSBU|Samus}} and {{SSBU|Simon}}. While their current standing in the metagame is still debatable, the Mii Gunner is typically considered the least effective Mii Fighter of the three, or on par with the Mii Brawler at most.

*{{Sm|Capitancito|Dominican Republic}} - The best Mii Gunner player of all-time with results that no other Mii Gunner player has ever achieved, including 2nd at {{Trn|Low Tide City 2023}}. At majors, he has placed 9th at the {{Trn|LVL UP EXPO 2023}}, 17th at {{Trn|Luminosity Makes BIG Moves 2024}}, and 33rd at several supermajors, including {{Trn|MomoCon 2022}} and {{Trn|Get On My Level 2023}}. He is the only solo-Mii Gunner ranked in the top 100, ranking 70th on the [[LumiRank 2023]].
*{{Sm|Deon|UK}} - The best Mii Gunner in Europe in the early metagame, placing 25th at {{Trn|Syndicate 2019}} and 33rd at the major {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2019}} while defeating {{Sm|Mr.R}} in the former, the best win for a Mii Gunner player during this period. His activity since 2019 has been limited.
*{{Sm|Tsumusuto|Japan}} - The best {{SSBU|Dr. Mario}} player in Japan who used Mii Gunner as a secondary at many tournaments such as his 2nd place at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 13}} with a win over {{Sm|Masashi}}, and others such as 9th at {{Trn|Toyota Grand Slum 13}} and 33rd at {{Trn|Umebura SP 6}}.
 
===Tier placement and history===
Much like the other Mii Fighters, the Mii Gunner was perceived lukewarmly on release due to the improvements to their movesets. While the severe nerfs to their mobility were noted, along with the loss of their more infamous camping tools (most notably a shorter forward aerial, weaker [[Gunner Missile]]s, and the nerfs to [[Grenade Launch]]), the buffs to their other moves more than made up for it, as it improved a majority of attacks that were lackluster in ''Smash 4'' (such as forward smash, up aerial and their throws). Overall, they were considered a relatively average "zoner"-type character. Despite this, the Gunner was one of the most obscure characters in competitive play in the early metagame; both the Mii Gunner and {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}} were overshadowed by the extremely positive perception of the {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}}, who took in most of the Mii Fighter's representation overall.


As the metagame progressed, Mii Gunner started to see brief yet limited success from players such as {{Sm|Deon}} and {{Sm|Tsumusuto}}. The character received even more success following the end of the online era thanks to the efforts of {{Sm|Capitancito}}, who had taken sets from several top players and consistently placed highly at regional-level tournaments. Despite these results, professionals still agree that the Mii Gunner is significantly outclassed by other zoners with similar playstyles, such as {{SSBU|Samus}}. Regardless, Mii Gunner is ranked 61st on the first tier list, before jumping onto the 58th place on the second and current tier list.
*{{Sm|Aikota|USA}} - One of the best Mii Gunner players in the United States. Placed 25th at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}} and 33rd at {{Trn|MomoCon 2019}} along with {{SSBU|Zelda}} and {{SSBU|Ness}}. Has wins over players such as {{Sm|Mr E}}, {{Sm|ScAtt}}, and {{Sm|Fatality}}. Ranked 6th on the [[Georgia Power Rankings]].
*{{Sm|Capitancito|Dominican Republic}} - Co-mains Mii Gunner and is the best Mii Gunner player in the Dominican Republic. Placed 9th at {{Trn|CEO Dreamland 2020}}. Online, the best Mii Gunner player. Placed 1st at {{Trn|SWT: Central America South Ultimate Online Qualifier}}, 2nd at {{Trn|Return to Subspace: ONLINE}}, 3rd at {{Trn|Beyond the Spectrum}} and 5th at {{Trn|Get On My Line 2021}}. Wins over {{Sm|Mao}}, {{Sm|Player-1}}, {{Sm|0mart}}, {{Sm|Sonix}}, {{Sm|DOOM!}}, and {{Sm|Sharpy}}. Currently ranked 11th on the [[Wi-Fi Warrior Rank v7]].
*{{Sm|Deon|England}} - Ranked 50th on the [[European Smash Rankings]] and the best Mii Gunner in the continent. Placed 25th at {{Trn|Syndicate 2019}} and 33rd at both {{Trn|Ultimate Fighting Arena 2019}} and {{Trn|Valhalla III}}. Has wins over players such as {{Sm|Mr.R}}, {{Sm|Ogey}} and {{Sm|Yetey}}.
*{{Sm|Protom|USA}} - One of the best Mii Gunner players in the United States. Placed 7th at {{Trn|Smash at The Paramount}}, 25th at {{Trn|Tri-state Showdown: Fall 2019}}, and 33rd at {{Trn|Defend the North 2019}}. Has wins over players such as {{Sm|Frozen}}, {{Sm|John Numbers}}, and {{Sm|SMB}}.
*{{Sm|Tsumusuto|Japan}} - The best Dr. Mario player in the world who is also one of the best Mii Gunner players in Japan. Placed 4th at {{Trn|Karisuma SP 6}}, 7th at {{Trn|Sumabato SP 9}}, 13th at both {{Trn|Sumabato SP 10}} and {{Trn|Sumabato SP 12}}, 25th at {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 2}}, and 33rd at {{Trn|Umebura SP 6}} using both characters.
