'''Mii Swordfighters''' ({{ja|剣術タイプ|Kenjutsu Taipu}}, ''Fencing Type''), formatted as '''Mii Sword Fighters''' in the [[PAL]] version, 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 Gunner}}s.

Mii Swordfighter is unranked on the latest [[tier list]], but was 56th out of 57 on the third tier list (when only taking their default moveset and size into account), placing them in bottom tier and making them the lowest ranked newcomer along with Mii Brawler. The Mii Swordfighter has several noteworthy strengths, such as having [[disjointed]] range, respectable combo ability, and one of the game's fastest grabs. When granted access to their custom moves, they also enjoy a slew of unique and flexible tools that make them an adaptable fighter, including access to three useful disrupting [[projectile]]s, along with being the only swordsman with access to a [[reflector]] in [[Reversal Slash]].

However, this versatility is made null by the banning of custom moves since [[EVO 2015]], and they are forced to contend with unimpressive mobility, surprisingly low KO power, and a laggy, unsafe moveset that creates a very poor [[approach]] both on the ground and in the air, alongside an ineffective recovery, especially vertically. This fact is further apparent due to the Mii Swordfighter being outclassed by all other swordsmen in the game; they have less range than all others, especially {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Shulk}}, below-average ground movement, and considerably less power.

Because of these factors, the Mii Swordfighter has a notoriously poor tournament representation, and it has very few results to its credit, barring some tournaments that continue to allow customs.

==Attributes==
The Mii Swordfighter has overall average mobility. Of the three Mii types, the Mii Swordfighter has the median [[dash]], the fastest [[walking]] speed, and the lowest [[jump]]s, as well as being the only Mii type that is incapable of [[wall jump]]ing. Their attacks are also weaker yet slower than the Mii Brawler's, as well as lacking the dominant range of the Mii Gunner's, though the Mii Swordfighter outreaches the former and outspeeds the latter. Compared to a Mii of average height and weight, a larger Mii improves their range, weight, and damage while giving up speed in their attacks, while a smaller Mii does the opposite - becoming faster on the ground and the air, jumping higher, having less endlag and attacking faster, at the cost of weight and range.

Although they possess the ability to keep opponents at a distance with their disjointed hitboxes, the Mii Swordfighter is particularly hampered by their previously mentioned mobility, along with unusually weak and punishable KO moves compared to other sword-wielding characters. Of all their attacks, their most reliable finishers are their forward and down smashes, forward tilt, up and back aerials, along with [[Blade Flurry]], [[Power Thrust]], and [[Hero's Spin]]. Many of these moves have high ending lag, making them highly [[punish]]able if missed. Because of their low mobility and laggy attacks, the Mii Swordfighter's moveset, especially on the ground, can be quite easy to punish, especially by quick, powerful characters like {{SSB4|Little Mac}}. The Mii Swordfighter is more at home in the air, thanks to their quicker aerial moves that can either be used for low-percentage combos or gimping, notably their neutral and forward aerial, two of their fastest moves, their surprisingly powerful up and back aerials which can KO at a respectable percentage, and their down aerial which can [[meteor smash]]. The Swordfighter also possesses the fastest grab out of any sword character, and one of the fastest in the game. They possess a decent combo game thanks to their moderately fast aerial attacks, throws, and down tilt, notably their down throw to up aerial or down tilt to neutral or forward air, although they lose viability once the opponent is above a certain percentage and require bad [[DI]] on the opponent's part when above these percentages.

Regardless, to make up for the lack of mobility and power of the other Miis, the Mii Swordfighter comes packed with versatility in their special moves. The Mii Swordfighter is one of the few sword-wielding characters with access to projectiles, and is the only one to bear a [[reflect]]or. With three projectiles in its custom arsenal, the Swordfighter can be played as a solely camping character with their [[push]]-inducing and projectile-eating [[Gale Strike]], damage-over-distance [[Shuriken of Light]], or approach-hampering [[Chakram]], allowing them to pester opponents from a distance or force opponents into a bad position (especially with a small Mii, allowing them to quickly position themselves once needed). This defensive playstyle can be coupled with [[Power Thrust]], which allows the Mii Swordfighter to quickly move around the stage and punish mistimed [[roll]]s or [[air dodge]]s. [[Blade Flurry]] and [[Hero's Spin]] grant the Mii Swordfighter a few more finishing options that aid in their ability to efficiently and flexibly take off stocks, and they boast a [[counterattack]] in [[Blade Counter]] and a [[reverse]]r in [[Reversal Slash]] allows them to deter excessive use of melee attacks and projectiles alike. Their recovery can be improved with Hero's Spin, their overall most reliable recovery option, [[Airborne Assault]], which grants tremendous horizontal distance, and [[Skyward Slash Dash]], which has more trajectory control than any of their other recovery options. However, most of these moves have flaws of their own: Shuriken of Light fails to cause knockback at point blank range, and many of their projectiles are naturally dangerous to use up close. Outside of Airborne Assault's incredible horizontal recovery, the Mii Swordfigher's other horizontal recoveries, [[Slash Launcher]] and Skyward Slash Dash, give mediocre distance. [[Stone Scabbard]] gives high vertical distance, but presents too great a risk of [[self-destruct]]ing to properly compensate for its poor horizontal distance.

Overall, the Mii Swordfighter is a flexible fighter and can complement different playstyles depending on the custom moves employed. However, they are held back by their lack of KO setups and generally risky finishing options, along with a lack of competitive representation, although few dedicated players such as {{Sm|Trela}} have brought some degree of tournament success and continue to develop the character's metagame.

==Update history==
The Mii Swordfighter has received a wealth of buffs in various updates and received very few nerfs. The lag on its moveset has been reduced, its damage output has been increased and the range of its attacks is also slightly higher. The Mii Swordfighter also seems to benefit from the changes on shield mechanics more than the other types of Miis, due to it making its forward smash safer on shield and the Blade Flurry's and Chakram's multi-hit nature being notably benefited, although this is not enough for the Mii swordfighter to increase in viability as well as the lack of improvements since update 1.1.0 and onwards led them to be noticeably underbalanced compared to the rest of the cast.

==Moveset==
All damage listed in this table assumes a default Mii of perfectly average height and weight.

{{MovesetTable
|game=SSB4
|neutralcount=3
|neutralname=&nbsp;
|neutral1dmg=4%
|neutral2dmg=3%
|neutral3dmg=5%
|neutraldesc=Slashes downward twice, then upward once. The first hit is interruptible very early, especially with crouching. One of the most highly-damaging non-rapid jabs in the game.
|ftiltname=&nbsp;
|ftiltdmg=12%
|ftiltdesc=Swipes the blade once in a wide arc in front of himself/herself.
|utiltname=&nbsp;
|utiltdmg=7%
|utiltdesc=Performs a single slash in an arc above their head. Covers the Mii Swordfighter's entire upper body. A solid all-purpose move, able to combo and juggle at low percentages and KO at high percentages.
|dtiltname=&nbsp;
|dtiltdmg=8%
|dtiltdesc=Stabs along the ground, similar to {{SSB4|Marth}}'s down tilt. Decently fast and can combo into a jab or an up, neutral, forward, down aerial, forward, or up tilt.
|dashname=&nbsp;
|dashdmg=10% (early), 6% (late)
|dashdesc=Stops running and thrusts with the sword. Has high knockback and range, but is easily punished if used improperly.
|fsmashname=&nbsp;
|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|14}} (hilt), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|15}} (blade), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|16}} (tip)
|fsmashdesc=Holds the sword with two hands, then steps forward and swings it downwards and inwards similar to {{SSB4|Roy}}'s forward smash. Deals good knockback and has surprisingly high range, but suffers from high lag on both ends.
|usmashname=&nbsp;
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|4}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|3}} (hits 2 and 3), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|7}} (last hit)
|usmashdesc= Jumps and performs a series of three corkscrewing slashes over their head before touching the ground, launching the enemy on the last hit, similar to {{SSB4|Pit}}'s up smash. Has trouble hitting opponents behind the Mii Swordfighter, requiring foes to be in almost direct contact with them.
|dsmashname=&nbsp;
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|12}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSB4|15}} (hit 2)
|dsmashdesc=Crouches and slashes low to the ground, first in front and then behind. Has considerable ending lag, but launches enemies at a very dangerous [[semi-spike]] angle that makes the move deadly on the [[edge]].
|nairname=&nbsp;
|nairdmg=8%
|nairdesc=Slashes in a circle while doing a corkscrew in the air. A good spacing and approach move that can be used similarly to {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s neutral aerial, although with much less range.
|fairname=&nbsp;
|fairdmg=3% (hits 1 and 2), 5% (hit 3)
|fairdesc=Stabs forward three times, each stab at a slightly higher angle than the last. The first two hits trap opponents into the final hit, which deals good knockback. Spammable when short hopped, although the Mii Swordfighter must be careful not to land too early or the opponent will end up right beside them. This can, however, be used to set up other moves.
|bairname=&nbsp;
|bairdmg=14%
|bairdesc=Spins to perform an extremely fast backwards slash. One of the Mii Swordfighter's more reliable finishers, especially in the air.
|uairname=&nbsp;
|uairdmg=16% (clean), 10% (late)
|uairdesc=Points the sword above their head and spins. Very high knockback, particularly when hit clean, being one of the Mii Swordfighter's best finishing moves, especially since it stays out for a long time.
|dairname=&nbsp;
|dairdmg=1% (hits 1-5), 5% (landing hit)
|dairdesc=Flips upside-down and rapidly spins to drill with their sword. The attack hits multiple times before ending with a strong final hit. Weakly [[meteor smash]]es opponents with set knockback on the final hit, and lasts for a decently long time. Uniquely, the aerial hits of the move are intended to lead into the landing hit, which causes a shockwave that knocks others away with high knockback. Due to a programming error (the attack [[autocancel]]s starting at frame 80 while being interruptible at frame 51), it cannot autocancel.
|grabname=&nbsp;
|grabdesc=Grabs the foe with their free hand.
|pummelname=&nbsp;
|pummeldmg=3.25%
|pummeldesc=Pounds the opponent with the hilt of their sword. The slowest pummel in the game, with opponents often able to break free of the grab even if only one pummel is performed. To compensate, it is tied with {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Pac-Man}}, and the {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}} for the second strongest pummel in the game.
|fthrowname=&nbsp;
|fthrowdmg=3% (kick), 3% (throw)
|fthrowdesc=Front kicks the enemy away. Above-average knockback for a throw.
|bthrowname=&nbsp;
|bthrowdmg=3% (kick), 3% (throw)
|bthrowdesc=Hits the enemy away with a back kick. Like forward throw, it has above-average knockback. It's the Mii Swordfighter's strongest throw, but it doesn't start KOing until very high percentages.
|uthrowname=&nbsp;
|uthrowdmg=2% (slash), 3% (throw)
|uthrowdesc=Tosses the enemy up and then performs a midair spinning slash to knock them away. Can set up a chain of up tilts at low percentages.
|dthrowname=&nbsp;
|dthrowdmg=2% (stomp), 2% (throw)
|dthrowdesc=Slams the enemy to the ground and stomps on them. Can follow into an up air until KO percentages, depending on the opponent's weight and DI.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=7%
|floorfdesc=Swings the sword around while getting back up.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=7%
|floorbdesc=Swings the sword in a back-to-front circle while getting back up.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Swings the sword front to back before standing back up.
|edgename=&nbsp;
|edgedmg=7%
|edgedesc=Climbs onto the stage and stabs forward.
|nsdefname=Gale Strike
|nsdefdmg=3.7%, 2.9%, or 2% per hit
|nsdefdesc=Creates a small tornado and sends it forwards. The damage that it deals decreases the farther it travels and it can [[push]] opponents during the end. Aesthetically, this move resembles {{SSB4|Link}}'s [[Gale Boomerang]], and functions similarly to a toned-down version of the [[Ore Club]]'s smash attack tornadoes. Excellent for nullifying physical-based projectile camping, but suffers from overall high lag.
|nsc1name=[[Shuriken of Light]]
|nsc1dmg=2%, 4%, 6.6%, or 10% depending on distance
|nsc1desc=Throws a bright, translucent shuriken forwards. The shuriken gains more damaging power as it travels, unable to flinch opponents at point-blank range but doing more knockback at maximum range. Useful for camping.
|nsc2name=[[Blurring Blade]]
|nsc2dmg=9.9-23.75% if all hits connect
|nsc2desc=Charges briefly before stabbing with the sword forward multiple times and finishing in a high-knockback stab. It is able to heavily [[shield damage|damage a shield]], especially if fully charged. Its function and animation resembles a multi-hit version of [[Shield Breaker]].
|ssdefname=Airborne Assault
|ssdefdmg=7.2-16%
|ssdefdesc=Charges up, then launches at the enemy, somersaulting with the blade. Travels in a light arc, and the Mii Swordfighter bounces off opponents on contact, making it function similarly to a long-range [[Bouncing Fish]], or [[Raptor Boost]] to a lesser extent. Gains extreme horizontal distance when recovering, but leaves the Mii Swordfighter [[helpless]] and is thus very dangerous to use.
|ssc1name=[[Slash Launcher]]
|ssc1dmg=6-10.2%
|ssc1desc=Dashes forwards with a sword strike, slicing through multiple opponents. Can be charged to increase the distance traveled. Functions much like [[Quick Draw]]'s custom special Close Combat, as it does not stop on the first opponent.
|ssc2name=[[Chakram]]
|ssc2dmg=7% if all hits connect (slow chakram), 6.5% (fast chakram)
|ssc2desc=Throws a chakram as a projectile that can be angled and sent upwards, downwards, or straight forward. If inputted like a smash attack, it will fly faster with increased range and damage. Otherwise, it will fly in front of the Mii Swordfighter and stall in mid-air, hitting multiple times. The chakram can be lodged into the floor and walls, but cannot be picked up.
|usdefname=Stone Scabbard
|usdefdmg=5% (hit 1), 3% (hit 2), 5% (hit 3), 6% (sword when going through platforms)
|usdefdesc=Slashes upwards while jumping and then stabs downwards while falling. The second hit is a powerful meteor smash. The landing hit forces the Mii's sword through thin platforms, which deals more damage. The Mii Swordfighter will not stop until it hits ground as soon as the second portion of the attack begins, making it easy to [[self-destruct]] off-stage with the move if not aimed carefully.
|usc1name=[[Skyward Slash Dash]]
|usc1dmg=12% if all hits connect
|usc1desc=After a brief charge, the Mii performs a series of sword strikes while dashing in a straight line, which can be aimed in any direction using the control stick. Functions like [[Fire Fox]] or [[Fire Bird]].
|usc2name=[[Hero's Spin]]
|usc2dmg=14-19% (ground), 14% in the air if all hits connect
|usc2desc=The Mii spins with the sword, much like the [[Spin Attack]]; if used in the air, the Mii will rise, doing multiple hits. On the ground, it is capable of KO'ing {{SSB4|Fox}} as early as 35%, at the ledge of any tourney-legal stage.
|dsdefname=Blade Counter
|dsdefdmg=1.25x the damage of countered attacks, 8% minimum
|dsdefdesc=Holds their sword in a reverse grip behind them, and strikes with a retaliatory slash when hit. A basic [[counterattack]].
|dsc1name=[[Reversal Slash]]
|dsc1dmg=6% to opponents. Reflected projectiles deal 1.5x damage
|dsc1desc=Performs a rainbow-coloured slash that [[reflect]]s [[projectile]]s and [[reverse|turns around]] characters hit by it. Gives the Mii Swordfighter a slight air boost when used in the air. Overall, the move functions similarly to [[Cape]].
|dsc2name=[[Power Thrust]]
|dsc2dmg=10%/8% (grounded sourspot hit); 13%/11%/8% (grounded and aerial sweetspot hit); 10%/8%/5.5% (aerial sourspot hit); 7% (landing hit)
|dsc2desc=Shoots forward quickly, stabbing with the sword. When used in the air, the Mii Swordfighter launches at a downwards diagonal direction. The tip of the sword deals more damage. Acts like [[Falcon Kick]] and [[Wizard's Foot]].
|fsname=Final Edge
|fsdmg=8% (wave, close), 6% (wave, far)
|fsdesc=Displays their sword and fires waves of energy off of it. Functions similarly to {{b|Wii Fit|Final Smash}}. In the 3DS version, the energy waves are all aimed horizontally, while in the Wii U version, this move appears to send out energy waves in more directions, thus having more range; this makes it the only move of any character that differs between versions of the game.

===Tier placement and history===
<!-- Since the Miis were originally built around custom special movesets, an explanation about them is valid.-->
The Mii Swordfighter's initial reception was arguably the most obscure of all Mii Fighters; overall, players acknowledged that they were one of the few fighters with disjointed range and projectiles, while the sheer variance of their custom moves allowed them to have the largest amount of potential playstyles. This made them viewed as one the most flexible Mii Fighters in the early metagame, especially with smaller variants of Mii Swordfighter, who had superior mobility and frame data (albeit with a cost of some range) to allow them to play more offensively and defensively. However, all three kinds of Mii were quickly looked down upon due to the controversy surrounding the allowance of custom movesets in tournaments, with the ban restricting the Mii Swordfighter to a very lackluster special moveset, with a poor projectile in Gale Strike and linear recovery options, flaws which were further compounded by slow mobility, heavy lag despite their disjointed range being average at best, and a notable lack of KO moves. The ban also restricted custom Mii sizes, forcing Mii Swordfighter to stay in its default size, which notably hindered their approach approach potential, their combo potential, their recovery and their ability to run away in comparison to their smaller counterpart.

While at first the Mii's choice for custom movesets was up to a [[tournament director]]'s discretion, when custom special movesets/mii sizes began to be discussed, the Mii's tier placements once again began to rise in the eyes of many players, though in the case of the Mii Swordfighter, many would then go on to consider it to be a low-tier character (at least for their default size), mainly because of its similarities with fellow swordfighter {{SSB4|Link}}, and due to their movesets not being as impressive as initially thought. After the universal ban of custom movesets/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. For the Swordfighter, it would at first rank at the 53rd spot of the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]], then see a drop to 57th on both the second and the third (and current) tier list, with all placings ranking it as the worst kind of default Mii. However, due to its better placements than the {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}, some professionals such as {{Sm|ZeRo}} did not think the Swordfighter should have been ranked as the worst kind of Mii, due to its strengths being decent enough compared to the Brawler, as well as having better representation in tournaments than the former Mii.

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 Swordfighter in a better spot but by exactly how much is unknown.

|desc-ntsc=This fighter is based on a player's Mii and favors a sword in battle. Enjoy the extra reach the sword offers, but remember that it takes a bit longer for strikes to reach your opponent as a result. Customize your Mii with chargeable moves, counters, or projectile attacks.
|desc-pal=A fighter based on your Mii! The main draw of Sword Fighters is the extra reach they get thanks to their swords. On top of that, they have a lot of varied moves to choose from. Unfortunately, a lot of sword attacks have a bit of delay between pressing the button and landing the attack, so you'll need to be very careful not to leave yourself open!

==Trivia==
*The design of the default Mii Swordfighter used in promotional material and in-game renders is based on a slightly edited version of Guest B, one of the pre-loaded Miis available for use in titles with Mii support. Of the three, the Mii Swordfighter has the least drastic change in design; simply changing the design of his hair and widening the eye placement a bit.
*The Mii Swordfighter's sword trail varies with the outfit they are currently wearing: most outfits use {{SSB4|Link}}'s afterimage-heavy sword trail, while the Neon and Cybernetic Suits give the Mii's sword {{SSB4|Marth}}'s glowing tipper (although this is only aesthetic).
*The Mii Swordfighter's Dunban outfit shows them holding the sword with their right hand. However, in ''Xenoblade Chronicles'', Dunban is unable to use his right arm from overexposure of the Monado's power, so he can only attack with his left arm.
**A similar situation applies to the Link costume, as Link is typically depicted as left-handed in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series. However, Link has wield the sword with his right hand in the Wii version of ''Twilight Princess'' and ''Skyward Sword''.
*There seems to be an oddity if the Mii Swordfighter equips the Chrom outfit. When using Blade Counter, during the swing, they will hold the crossguard of the sword instead of the handle.
*All of the Mii Swordfighter's chargeable special moves share the same charging sound.
*The default Mii Swordfighter has a slightly larger nose in his [[trophy|trophies]] than in his promotional art and the Mii Fighter character select art.
*When editing a Mii Swordfighter with the [[Viridi]] costume, the staff appears to be much larger and longer, however it reverts to normal size in a match.
