Editing Mii Swordfighter (SSBU)

|availability = [[Character customization|Custom]]<br>([[Unlockable character|Unlockable]] in [[World of Light]])

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 playable characters 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 #52.

Of all the Mii Fighters, Mii Swordfighter has had the least drastic modifications, with one special move being renamed and various buffs. Notably, Mii Swordfighter's role as the middle ground Mii Fighter has been reinforced by being given a set weight that puts it in the middle.

===Aesthetics===

*{{change|Players can customize the Mii Fighter's voice clips. Up to 12 voices are selectable.}}

*{{change|Mii Swordfighters have had their body proportions adjusted.}}

*{{change|While still based off the "Guest B" Mii, the default Mii Swordfighter has an altered appearance, including shorter hair and thinner eyebrows.}}

*{{change|The default outfits for the Mii Swordfighters have significantly more detail, now wearing a tunic, with additional armor pieces and a sheath.}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Like all characters, the Mii Swordfighter's [[jumpsquat]] animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 7).}}

*{{buff|Mii Swordfighter [[dash]]es faster.}}

*{{change|Mii Swordfighter has a slightly slower [[falling speed]].}}

*{{change|As with the other Mii Fighters, Mii Swordfighter now has a fixed proportion.}}

**{{change|This includes a set weight of 100, on par with Cloud.}}

===Ground attacks===

*[[Dash attack]]:

**{{change|Dash attack is now an outward swipe instead of an outward stab, similar to {{SSBU|Toon Link}}'s. It has more vertical range but less horizontal.}}

*[[Up smash]]:

**{{buff|Up smash now consists of two slashes instead of three, decreasing its ending lag.}}

*[[Forward smash]]:

**{{buff|Forward smash has less startup and endlag.}}

===Aerial attacks===

*[[Forward aerial]]:

**{{buff|Down aerial now has a different animation and less ending lag.}}

*[[Back aerial]]:

*[[Neutral aerial]]:

**{{nerf|Neutral aerial has a little more startup and comes out slightly later.}}

*{{change|The Mii Swordfighter's [[pummel]] is now a knee strike.}}

*[[Down throw]]:

**{{change|Down throw now throws opponents to the ground, similar to {{SSBU|Marth}}'s.}}

***{{nerf|The gale travels a smaller distance.}}

***{{buff|The gale deals more damage and knock back.}}

**{{change|The throwing animation has been altered: it is now a quick finger flick near the Mii Swordfighter's torso.}}

**{{buff|The move is significantly faster overall, making it function better as a conventional projectile.}}

**{{buff|Blurring Blade now sets the Swordfighter's blade aflame for its duration, deals [[flame]] damage, and ends in an upward slash, rather than a thrust. The final hit has a larger hitbox because of this.}}

**{{buff|The move can now be reversed after charging, similar to {{SSBU|Roy}}'s [[Flare Blade]], but it can only be reversed once.}}

**{{change|Airborne Assault is no longer a chargeable move, and travels a set distance.}}

**{{buff|Airborne Assault no longer leaves the Mii in a [[helpless]] animation. This increases the Mii's recovery options.}}

**{{buff|Airborne Assault travels further on average when compared to the previous uncharged variant.}}

**{{buff|The move stops abruptly if used near the ledge. This can prevent going off-stage accidentally.}}

**{{buff|Hitting a shielding opponent with the move now causes the Mii to bounce backwards, making it safer to use.}}

**{{change|Airborne Assault's rebounding animation has the Mii perform a flourishing backflip, with a larger sword trail accompanying it.}}

**{{buff|Chakram has a bigger hitbox and travels farther.}}

**{{buff|Its slower variant has a longer duration. This allows for a string of combos.}}

**{{change|Gale Stab (formerly Slash Launcher) has a new animation that has the Mii perform a charging stab rather than a reverse-gripped slash.}}

**{{buff|Stone Scabbard goes much higher than before, increasing its usefulness as a recovery move. It also grants more horizontal momentum at the start, with a larger hitbox.}}

**{{buff|Stone Scabbard's landing hit deals much higher knockback, allowing it to KO much earlier.}}

*[[Skyward Slash Dash]]:

***{{buff|The counterattack has significantly lower ending lag.}}

**{{change|The counter now freezes opponents before the retaliation.}}

**{{change|Power Thrust has a slightly different animation, and it now produces a slightly smaller amount of fiery particles.}}

**{{change|[[Final Edge]] now causes the Mii Swordfighter to rapidly perform slashes while each beam comes out instead of holding the sword skyward.}}

***{{buff|The Final Smash now seems to be performed significantly faster.}}

==='''[[On-screen appearance]]'''===

*Appears from a whirlwind and unsheathes their sword.

*'''Up taunt:''' Throws his sword upwards, which twirls in the air, then catches it and transitions into a defensive pose.

*'''Side taunt:''' Spins his sword in his hands before taking a stance, holding his sword in reverse grip behind him.

*'''Down taunt:''' Poses with his sword facing upwards. Appears similar to {{SSBU|Link}}'s down taunt.

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 (sans {{SSBU|Kirby}}) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

In the mode itself, Mii Swordfighter can be fought in the small town square where Timmy and Tommy's is located, north-northeast of the first crossroads.

Defeating Mii Swordfighter automatically adds the default Mii Swordfighter under the name Mii with a default 1111 moveset to the list of Mii Fighters for all modes where Mii Swordfighters are usable.
