| The Mii Brawler is a formidable fighter who combines speed and power with impressive combo-ability in order to take out opponents, similar to other characters like {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}} and {{SSB4|Little Mac}}. Like the other types of Miis, their [[weight]] is average compared to other characters, however, the Mii Brawlers have the best mobility overall of the three types of Mii Fighters, possessing above average [[walking]], [[dash]]ing, and [[falling speed]]s, good [[jump]]ing height and high [[air speed]], but below average [[air acceleration]], low [[traction]] and high [[gravity]].

| Mii Brawlers have among the best ground games in ''SSB4'', due to their good ground mobility, an overall high damage output, and little to no lag on most of their attacks, (with the exception of their smash attacks, which all possess a considerable amount of end lag). Additionally, their combo ability isn't bad either, as a good number of their attacks (including their throws) don't deal much knockback, thus keeping opponents close by and leaving them open to follow-ups. However, should the Brawler end up using a move that deals too much knockback, such as a smash attack, they still have a high chance of catching up to their opponent with their great mobility.

| The Brawler's aerial game is good as well, as most of their aerials are fast and strong, (with even more KOing ability than their ground attacks) and can even be combined with ground attacks and throws for some interesting combos. This is further improved by the Mii Brawler's good jumping ability, and high air speed. Additionally, their up aerial is a great tool for juggling, and can be very useful for ceiling KOs, making them a major threat on stages with lower ceilings, while their down aerial makes for a great meteor smash. However, their midair game is hampered by the overall increase in knockback for their aerials, compared to their ground attacks. Thus, Mii Brawler players are better off utilizing aerials to finish combos or score midair KOs, (the latter being a particular strength for the Brawlers to begin with) rather than attempting to combo with aerials only.

| The Mii Brawler is not without other flaws though. Except for their slightly longer-reaching aerials and smash attacks, their overall range is poor relative to most of the cast, (though it is somewhat counterbalanced by their fast movement) and their grab game is subpar, possessing not only short range, but also a weak pummel. The Brawler's vertical recovery is also abysmal, (though moves such as [[Burning Dropkick]] make their horizontal recovery slightly better) with none of their special moves providing much upward distance and most of them being easy to gimp. Finally, with the exception of Shot Put, the Mii Brawler lacks any type of projectile, giving it a rather miserable approaching game.

| Despite this, various modes of customization can significantly aid the Mii Brawler in tournaments that allow them, and cover for most of their flaws. Using a larger Mii can improve upon their subpar range, increase their weight, and provide a buff to their already impressive power and KOing ability, but nerfs their movement and attack speed, slightly tones down their combo-ability, and makes them a larger and much easier target to compensate. On the other hand, using a smaller Mii can improve their already high mobility both in the air and on the ground, buff their combo-ability, and decrease the already low lag on their attacks, though it weakens their damage output, nerfs their already poor range, and makes them easier to launch. Average-to-large-sized Miis also benefit very well from [[rage]], being able to KO opponents even more easily due to their increased knockback (with larger Miis having the advantage of being able to maintain rage for longer due to their weight). Custom specials can also aid them too. As mentioned above, certain special moves such as Burning Dropkick and [[Feint Jump]] can significantly boost their subpar recovery, (with the latter move also serving as a good way to turn the tables on opponents) while others such as [[Foot Flurry]], [[Piston Punch]] and [[Onslaught]] can give the Mii Brawler an impressive damage-racking game and compliment their combo ability rather well. [[Shot Put]] can slightly improve their edgeguarding abilities, and [[Exploding Side Kick]] and [[Ultimate Uppercut]] are great finishing moves with the latter being a great tool for starting ''or'' ending combos. Burning Dropkick also has a another use: it can improve the Brawler's poor approaching game and even stop incoming projectiles. In addition, players can even combine certain specials with certain sized Miis to open up more possibilities.

| While the Brawler was initially agreed to be one of the dominant forces in the metagame of ''SSB4'', especially when given access to their custom moves (which are considerably better than both other types of Mii Fighters), the current blanket ban on custom moves as well as their abysmal tournament representation has relegated them to the lower tiers, much like the other Mii Fighters.
| |
| | |
| Overall, the Mii Brawler can be considered to be a less effective {{SSB4|Mario}}; a quick and nimble rushdown character that relies on their very quick speed and largely reliable combo ability (with even their main combo moves being similar). However, without the Brawler's custom moves, their subpar range, easily exploitable default recovery, and low-utility special moveset have gave them a poor standing in the competitive metagame.
