The '''Mii Swordfighter''' ({{ja|Mii剣術タイプ|Mii Kenjutsu Taipu}}, ''Mii Fencing 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 {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}} types, [[Mii Brawler (SSBU)|Brawler]] and [[Mii Gunner (SSBU)|Gunner]]. Mii Swordfighter is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #52]].

One of the greatest strengths of the Mii Swordfighter is their extremely versatile and flexible set of specials, some of which are among the strongest moves in the game. Gale Strike and Chakram are fantastic projectiles which excel at distancing opponents, racking up damage, and edgeguarding. Gale Strike is among the Mii Swordfighter's best moves; while slow for a projectile, it does good damage, is an excellent tool to setup kill confirms due to its large hitbox and fixed knockback, and is very potent at ledgetrapping. Landing a Gale Strike allows the Mii Swordfighter to confirm into a multitude of moves such as back aerial, forward aerial, up aerial, Hero's Spin, and Chakram. Hero's Spin in particular is an extremely potent kill option, being able to take stocks as low as around 40% when confirming out of a Gale Strike at the ledge. Chakram is another potent projectile that is good for both initiating and deterring approaches. The smash input version is good for edgeguarding opponents with especially poor recoveries (i.e. Belmonts and Cloud) and the tilt input version allows the Mii Swordfighter to pressure the ledge and confirm into many different moves, providing them with two tools that establish a good defense-oriented playstyle. Along with being one of the few swordfighters that have access to projectiles, the Mii Swordfighter is also the only one that possesses a reflector in the form of Reversal Slash, which allows them to counter campy, projectile-heavy opponents as well. Additionally, Blade Counter, like other counters, can effectively edgeguard those who possess poor recoveries, though it isn't as effective for KO'ing near the side blast lines due to its' extensive vertical knockback. However, this does provide it with consistent KO potential.

Outside of their strong projectiles, the Mii Swordfighter possesses a few of fast and powerful normals. Back and up aerial are both very fast and powerful, the former of which is a strong tool to use for spacing and the latter for anti-airs and racking damage. Forward and neutral aerial both serve as average spacing tools, with forward air's multihits giving Mii Swordfighter several confirms on grounded opponents. Additionally, almost all of the Swordfighter's aerials can easily be comboed into from their down throw, giving the character extremely reliable damage from grabs. This, along with low aerial landing lag (with the exception of down aerial at 18 frames) results in the Mii Swordfighter having an above average aerial game due to most of their aerials being potential combo starters, while their down aerial, despite having weak set knockback, is great for gimping opponents with subpar recoveries alongside neutral and back aerial.  The Mii Swordfighter's tilts, with the exception of forward tilt, are quite fast and are pretty reliable sources of damage and combo potential. Swordfighter's jab combo is relatively strong and launches at a very low angle, making it an option at setting up edgeguards and gimps. Their up tilt is generally used for juggling and starting combos at medium percentages, while their forward tilt and down tilt are more geared towards spacing and poking. The former is able to KO at mid-to-high percents near the ledge, making it a decent KO move, while the latter is safe on shield if spaced, can be used repeatedly without much risk, and reliably leads into combos at lower percents, making it another dependable combo starter the Swordfighter has.

Alongside their potent aerials and tilts are a set of powerful smash attacks and specials. While forward and up smash are both relatively laggy, they both boast a considerable amount of KO power and the same can be said for Blurring Blade and Power Thrust, the former which can KO at extremely low percents when fully charged at the edge of Final Destination.

Additionally, the Mii Swordfighter arguably has the best recovery options out of the three Mii Fighters. As in ''[[SSB4]]'', Airborne Assault and Gale Stab both boast an incredible amount of horizontal distance while Stone Scabbard provides a high vertical distance. Skyward Slash Dash is a move similar to that of [[Fire Fox]] (with a difference being that it is disjointed), allowing the Mii Swordfighter to have both increased distance and a trajectory that can mix up edgeguarding opponents.

However, in spite of the variety of strengths that the Mii Swordfighter has, they are not without their weaknesses. For a swordfighter, they have one of the (if not the) worst disjoints in the game. Many of their swift normals simply have a lack of range in comparison to other swordfighters such as Lucina and Ike. Additionally, as mentioned before, their mobility is also very lackluster compared to other disjoint users given their average dashing/walking and air acceleration speeds, which makes it difficult for them to keep up with faster, rushdown-based characters (i.e. Sonic). While many of their specials have some form of use, there are a few that provide utility that's considered to be overshadowed compared to other specials, such as Gale Stab, which has trouble snapping to the ledge and has limited KO power and damage unless charged; and Blurring Blade, which suffers from being completely unsafe on shield, having to be charged to gain its high power, and not only sacrificing the use of two great projectiles to be used, but also having limited range itself. While Airborne Assault provides great recovery and sports surprising KO power, its "detection hitbox" mechanic means it will always lose hitbox trades and sometimes even miss opponents it should have hit, as well as being unsafe on shield, limiting its use to reading defensive options or poor aerial approaches, as well as situationally hitting ledge-hanging characters.

Furthermore, while many of the Mii Swordfighter's normals are good, their smash attacks are all very laggy and have generally poor reach, especially their up smash, which does not have a vacuum effect like that of Link, Samus, or the Mii Gunner while their good normals begin to lose their utility at higher percentages. Down tilt loses its' combo ability at mid percentages and up tilt is a fairly sluggish move against faster opponents. Additionally, their grab game is subpar, though not to the same extent as {{SSBU|Cloud}}. Aside from down throw,  the Mii Swordfighter's throws offer mediocre utility, especially their up throw, which deals extremely low knockback and damage and has no true follow ups. Their throws also have mediocre KO power, with their strongest throw being back throw (which doesn't KO at around 180% at the edge of Final Destination). While Gale Strike and Chakram are still very good projectiles, their start and end lag are both substantial in comparison to other projectiles, making them unsafe to use up close, further exacerbating their struggle against faster characters and giving them a rather poor neutral. Lastly, while their recovery can be very flexible, some of them either offer poor distance or are quite linear, such as Stone Scabbard which provides no horizontal distance and poses a great risk of self destructing, and Hero's Spin, which while is a good out of shield option and has a very powerful final hit, exchanges said strengths for very poor distance.

Overall, the Mii Swordfighter is a jack of all trades amalgamation of all weapon 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 fighter, making Mii Swordfighter among the most unpredictable to fight against. However, all of the customizable special moves have a fatal flaw to prevent them from being overpowered and/or are an inferior version of a similar move other fighters possess. Mii Swordfighter is capable of walling out opponents, racking up damage, and securing a plethora of different kill confirms. They excel in mid-close range combat and ledgetrapping with the usage of Chakram and Gale Strike and can restrict projectile usage with Reversal Slash. However, they exchange these strengths for a variety of laggy finishers, a subpar grab game and average movement speed. Despite this, their strengths do outweigh their weaknesses and they have a good number of favorable or even matchups. As a result, the Mii Swordfighter has seen a surprisingly high amount of representation and results in tournaments.

The Mii Swordfighter has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate'', being overall buffed, though not enough to improve their standing.

Much like the {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}, the Mii Swordfighter retains most of their previous moveset, with the majority of the Swordfighter's changes being alterations to their moveset's behavior. Like the other Mii Fighters, the Mii Swordfighter now has set attributes, including middling [[weight]] (which is identical to that of a default-sized Mii Fighter in ''SSB4'') alongside high [[air speed]], but average or below-average stats otherwise ([[falling speed]], [[air acceleration]], and [[walk]] and [[run]] speed). As a result, the Swordfighter's role as the middle-ground Mii Fighter has been reinforced.

The Swordfighter has received noticeably few changes to their standard moveset, save for [[up smash]] now consisting of two slashes that can hit three times in front, and a new [[dash attack]]: a wide dashing slash. The biggest changes come from their altered [[special move]]s; while only one of their special moves has been renamed (Slash Launcher is now [[Gale Stab]]), the majority of the Swordfighter's specials have significantly improved utility. Many now deal much higher damage, stronger knockback (or both, like [[Blurring Blade]] for example), and/or have vastly improved utility, giving the Swordfighter a larger abundance of options and fixing another of their former weaknesses. [[Gale Strike]] now functions as a standard projectile, and has [[fixed knockback]] with high [[hitstun]], which combined with its higher damage makes it one of the most powerful combo initiators in the Swordfighter's arsenal. [[Shuriken of Light]] can now [[lock]] opponents despite its lowered damage, and gains speed as it travels. [[Chakram]] travels faster when smash thrown and deals more damage, while the slow version now lingers and returns to where it was thrown, turning it into an [[approach]]-deterring and ledge-trapping tool. [[Airborne Assault]] now gives the Swordfighter a half-second window to prevent [[helpless]]ness and deals more knockback. [[Stone Scabbard]] has increased recovery distance and is capable of KOing. [[Skyward Slash Dash]] has much faster startup, making it a safer recovery option. [[Blade Counter]] can now initiate combos at low percents, or KO effectively due to its vertical angle. Lastly, [[Reversal Slash]] reflects projectiles with much more strength and speed than ever before, turning it into a devastatingly powerful reflector.

A few of the universal changes are also benefitial for the Swordfighter. The universal increases in mobility slightly improves their approach, combined with the various buffs to their projectiles. The reductions to [[landing lag]] on aerial attacks patches up the Swordfighter's notorious lag issues in ''SSB4'', and allows many of their aerials to start combos and function as safe landing options. The changes to [[air dodge]]s also improve their recovery and edgeguarding game.

However, the Mii Swordfighter has also received nerfs. Arguably the biggest ones are to their standard moveset's decreased hitbox sizes; while other moves had their hitbox sizes increased, they pale in comparison and most of them are special moves. This worsens Mii Swordfighter's spacing and disjoint while also making one of their main weaknesses more exploitable. Like the other Miis, they now have set attributes, which makes their mobility, despite being buffed overall, average while still being mediocre compared to most other swordfighters.  

Overall, the Mii Swordfighter is now far more flexible in their playstyle, with their buffs to their special moveset allowing them to adapt to either an aggressive or zoner playstyle depending on the matchup. However, the reductions to hitbox sizes forces them to approach and play just as carefully. The Mii Swordfighter also still retains some of their most glaring weaknesses, such as below-average frame data for many of their ground moves, and a weak [[grab]] game, both of which have not altered significantly from their transition to ''Ultimate'' (and in the case of their throws, have not been changed at all). In addition, various veterans have received buffs that are more impactful than theirs at launch, while game updates have both provided even more buffs to veterans that are more noticeable than the Swordfighter's own changes, and introduced newcomer DLC characters, some of which prove difficult to overcome. Because of this, while the Swordfighter is undeniably a better character than in ''SSB4'', they have not significantly improved compared to the rest of the cast in ''Ultimate'', and are considered to be the weakest of the three Miis.

Mii Swordfighter so far has received the fewest changes in patches compared to the other Mii Fighters (due to not receiving any buffs or nerfs in patches 2.0.0 and 3.1.0 unlike the other Miis). The Swordfighter has been given few changes throughout the game but has mainly received nerfs. In patch 3.0.0, Chakram, Gale Strike, and Shuriken of Light were nerfed, as a result of all dealing less shield damage due to the overall nerf to projectiles from the patch.

 

On the other hand, Mii Swordfighter has received some buffs. In patch 3.0.0 and patch 4.0.0 respectively, their edge attack was given more range, and Blurring Blade was made to connect more reliably. In patch 7.0.0 increased Mii Swordfighter's shield size; They were the only Mii Fighter that received this change.

 

In patch 9.0.0, Mii Swordfighter received a buff to Hero's Spin, making the move connect with itself more reliably. This change was simply reverting a shadow nerf from 2.0.0 that caused Hero's Spin to not connect on the final hit unless the player moved backwards on their joystick for the last hit. Being an undocumented change, it was rumored to have been an accident, the rumor being supported by 9.0.0's hotfix of the move.

Patch 12.0.0, provided Mii Swordfighter with a handful of small buffs to some of his special moves. Airborne Assault deals 2% more damage and does more knockback, now becoming a decent KO move. Stone Scabbard's last hit does more damage and knockback. Blade Counter's intangibility starts 1 frame faster, has faster counter detection, and has less ending lag on activation. And finally, Power Thrust starts 2 frames faster.

As a result of these changes, Mii Swordfighter is a slightly better character than they were at launch.

|neutralname=Front Slash ({{ja|前斬り|Zen Kiri}}) / Counter Slash ({{ja|返し斬り|Kaeshi Kiri}}) / Slash Up ({{ja|斬り上げ|Kaeshi Kiri}})

|neutraldesc=Performs an inward slash, followed by an outward slash, and concluded with an upwards-arching slash. The first two hits can lock, and the third hit has surprisingly good knockback growth for a neutral attack, allowing it to KO at the edge at very high percents. Curiously, the third swing deals a "punching" sound effect when it connects, instead of a slashing one.

|ftiltname=Side Slash ({{ja|横斬り|Yoko Kiri}})

|utiltname=Upper Slash ({{ja|上方斬り|Kamigata Kiri}})

|dsmashname=Low Altitude Double ({{ja|低空二連|Teikū Niren}})

|dsmashdesc=Crouches and slashes low to the ground: first in front, and then behind. The rear hit is stronger than the front hit.

|fairname=Triple Thrust ({{ja|突き三連|Tuski Sanren}})

|bairname=Reverse Slash ({{ja|反転斬り|Hanten Kiri}})

|bairdesc=Spins to perform an extremely fast backwards slash. One of the Mii Swordfighter's more reliable finishers due to its reach and quick startup, and is a reliable tool for walling out approaches.

|uairname=Upper Screw ({{ja|上方スクリュー|Kamigata Sukuryū}})

|dairname=Downward Screw ({{ja|下方スクリュー|Kahō Sukuryū}})

|grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})

|pummeldesc=A knee strike. Average power and speed.

|fthrowname=Point-Blank Side Kick ({{ja|ゼロ距離サイドキック|Zero Kyori Saido Kikku}})

|bthrowname=Point-Blank Spin Kick ({{ja|ゼロ距離スピンキック|Zero Kyori Supin Kikku}})

|uthrowname=Jump Slash ({{ja|ジャンプ斬り|Janpu Kiri}})

|dthrowname=Knock Down ({{ja|叩き落とし|Tataki Otoshi}})

|nsdefdesc=Creates a small tornado with a spinning slash and sends it forwards. The tornado travels half the length of Final Destination, dealing less damage as it travels. The projectile is unique as it deals [[set knockback]], and as such retains the old knockback physics, giving it increased [[hitstun]]. This makes it a potent combo initiator, allowing aerial followups at any percent range, commonly into up aerial or Hero's Spin. However, while unaffected by the opponent's percentage, the tornado's knockback will vary depending on their weight, making some follow ups practically guaranteed on heavier fighters and virtually impossible on lighter ones. Additionally, its excellent combo potential is offset by the move's slow startup, making it an overall poor projectile in neutral, though otherwise powerful when in the advantage. Oddly, the tornado will always cause [[reeling]], and in addition will always cause [[tumble]], regardless of how much knockback it deals. It also always breaks opponents out of being [[frozen]].

|ssdefdmg=14%

|ssc1desc=The Swordfighter rushes forward, stabbing forward as they do so. If an opponent is hit, the Swordfighter will immediately slow down. The move as a whole functions similarly to [[Quick Draw]], with the ability to charge the move for increased distance, damage, and knockback, as well as putting the Swordfighter into a helpless state when the move is ended in midair. At high charge, the move deals high knockback and functions as a KO move.

|usdefdmg=4% (hit 1), 3% (hit 2), 8% (hit 3), 3% (through platforms)

|usc2desc=When used on the ground, the Swordfighter spins with their sword held outward. If used in the air, the Mii will rise, performing multiple spinning slashes before ending with an outward slash. The ground variant can be charged to deal even more damage. Functions identically to [[Spin Attack]], but with poorer vertical recovery in exchange for extremely high knockback on the final strike when used in the air, able to KO middleweights from as low as 50% when initiated from the edge and drifting outwards for the duration of the attack. Like Spin Attack, Hero's Spin is potent out of shield on the ground, and easily edgeguards against recovering opponents if the Swordfighter drops offstage and performs the move away from the ledge. It is also a common followup for Gale Strike, although aerial Hero's Spin can be SDI'ed in certain scenarios to fall out.

|dsc2desc=The Swordfighter dashes forward quickly, stabbing with the sword. When used in the air, the Swordfighter launches at a downwards diagonal direction. The Swordfighter will stop at the ledge if it is performed on the ground. Acts like [[Falcon Kick]] or [[Wizard's Foot]], though with a tipper mechanic: the tip of the sword deals more damage. Every stage of the move deals powerful knockback, especially the clean sweetspot, making it a strong KO move.

|fsdmg=1.8% (shockwave, close), 2.4% (shockwave, mid), 3% (shockwave, far)

*Appears from a whirlwind similar to the appearance of [[Gale Strike]], and unsheathes their sword.

===[[Taunt]]s===

*'''Up taunt''': Whilst spinning, throws their sword upwards, which twirls in the air, then catches it and transitions into a defensive pose. If done repeatedly, the Swordfighter will slowly shift backward.

*'''Side taunt''': Spins their sword with a flourish before taking a stance, holding their sword in a reverse grip behind them.

*'''Down taunt''': Poses with their sword facing upwards while balancing on one foot. Based on {{SSBU|Link}}'s down taunt.

*'''Left:''' Raises their sword while spinning twice on one foot, performing a flourish. Afterward, they briefly enter into a one-handed inside stance before thrusting the sword outwards.

*'''Up:''' Drops from the sky, plunging their sword into the ground. They then remove it whilst performing a flourishing spin, which is followed by an inverted roundhouse kick and poses with their sword pointing outwards.

*'''Right:''' Performs a low-angled inwards slash, jumps up while spinning twice, and then does a low-angled outwards slash upon landing. Afterward, they bring their sword up towards their body and then poses with it lowered.

*{{Sm|Anonymous Moniker|USA}} - The best solo-Mii Swordfighter player in the early metagame, with notable regional performances such as 3rd at {{Trn|Smash Out 2018}} over {{Sm|yeti}}, 9th at {{Trn|Midwest Mayhem Ultimate}} over {{Sm|varun}}, and 13th at {{Trn|Combo Breaker 2019}}; these performances remain some of the best solo-Mii Swordfighter results despite only taking place in the game's first few months.

*{{Sm|Myollnir|France}} - Although he rarely competes, his 9th-place finish at {{Trn|Temple: Hermès Edition}} defeating {{Sm|Oryon}} and {{Sm|Neeroz}} remains the best solo-Mii Swordfighter performance of all-time and stands as one of the only few notable results seen with the character in the post-pandemic metagame.

===Tier placement and history===

In the early metagame of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', many people have realized that the Mii Swordfighter had great potential to be a viable character due to having stronger frame data (with their aerials having the most notable change), better combo tools than the previous game, and a stronger set of kill confirms their moveset. This overall led to being considered a high-tier character at best, being the strongest of the Mii Fighters.

As the meta advanced, opinions Mii Swordfighter's viability went down considerably. Players believed that while they have a strong set of kill confirms and projectiles, Mii Swordfighter possessed one of the worst, if not the worst disjoints in the game, a below average speed for a swordfighter, and lackluster throws aside from down throw, causing them to struggle against characters with a rushdown playstyle or significantly better disjoints. This is reflected in Mii Swordfighter's nonexistent playerbase: although Mii Swordfighter saw some success from {{Sm|Anonymous Moniker}} in the early metagame, {{Sm|Myollnir}} in 2021, and as an online character/occasional offline pocket from {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} in 2024; Mii Swordfighter remains one of the least represented characters in the metagame, ranking at or near the bottom in terms of representation since 2021. This low representation and poor reception is reflected in Mii Swordfighter's placements on the first two tier lists, where the character was ranked 78th on the first list as a low tier and 76th on the second list in the D- tier.

Although the Mii Swordfighter does not appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, they were vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (except {{SSBU|Kirby}}) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

In the mode itself, the default Mii Swordfighter can be fought in the small town square where [[List of spirits (Animal Crossing series)|Timmy and]] [[Master spirit|Tommy's]] is located, north-northeast of the first crossroads.

**They have the most Spirit Battles involving Legend spirits (that being 2 battles).

*The Mii Swordfighter is the first swordfighter that possesses a reflector, in this case, [[Reversal Slash]]; after them is {{SSBU|Hero}}, who has Bounce as one of his [[Command Selection]] spells, and {{SSBU|Sora}}, whose [[Counterattack]] special can reflect projectiles in addition to its normal use.
