Mii Gunner in Super Smash Bros. 4
Universe	Super Smash Bros.
Availability	Starter
Final Smash	Full Blast

“	Gunners are armed with mysterious arm-cannons. They have lots of different projectiles that can be fired from long range.	”
—Masahiro Sakurai, Nintendo Digital Event (E3 2014)

Mii Gunners (射撃タイプ, Shooting Type) are one of the three different types of Mii Fighters that appear in Super Smash Bros. 4, along with Mii Brawlers and Mii Swordfighters.

Attributes

Of the three types of Mii Fighters, Gunners are the slowest runners, and their jump height is between that of the Swordfighter and that of the Brawler. Their attacks are equally as fast as the Brawler's and equally as strong as the Swordfighter's, though they trump both of the other types in terms of range. Similar to the Mii Brawler they can wall jump.

Moveset

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

		Name	Damage	Description
Neutral attack			2%	Swings the arm cannon twice then releases a burst of flame from it. The third hit has good knockback for a jab, able to KO at extremely high percentages.
			2%
			1%, 4%
Forward tilt			9% close, 7.5% middle, or 6% far.	Fires a short range energy burst. Has good reach for a close range move, but has noticeable endlag.
Up tilt			10% (uppercut), 8% (flames)	Uppercuts with the arm cannon, releasing flames. An effective anti-air attack with good knockback, being one of the Gunner's KO moves, but has considerable ending lag.
Down tilt			14%	Fires a burst of flame onto the ground in front of himself/herself, similarly to Samus's down tilt. Has strong knockback and is another KO move, though it suffers from the most endlag of all the Gunner's tilts.
Dash attack			10%	Performs a swinging punch with the arm cannon, blasting the enemy with flames. Good knockback.
Forward smash			9.8%	Rapid fires a series of energy blasts then a single strong burst. Longest range of any non-projectile forward smash (Mega Man holds the record if so), but its knockback is somewhat lacking.
Up smash			16.5% if all hits connect	Releases bursts of fire in an arc above his/her head, similarly to Samus's up smash. Because of the Gunner's height, it can trap opponents in the entire move much easier than Samus, who has trouble getting smaller characters in the blast.
Down smash			4% (hit 1), 10% (hit 2)	Fires two bursts of flame onto the ground, first in front then behind of himself/herself. Enemies that take the first hit are dragged into the second hit, similarly to Ganondorf's and Toon Link's down smash.
Neutral aerial			6%	Sweep the arm cannon downward in an arc around himself/herself. A good "get off me" option.
Forward aerial			6% (close), 4% (far)	Fires a weak single energy shot projectile that travels a third of Final Destination; the force of the shot pushes the Mii Gunner backwards slightly. Can be absorbed or reflected, but is a great spacing option similar to Villager's slingshot aerials.
Back aerial			12%	Releases a burst of flames from its arm cannon behind him/her. The Gunner's most reliable aerial finisher that isn't a meteor smash.
Up aerial			1% (hits 1-8) 3% (hit 9)	Fires a series of rapid shots upwards before finishing with a strong shot. Acts like the Gunner's side smash aimed vertically upwards, even with the exact same damage. Somewhat awkward to use as the attack cuts off abruptly if the Gunner lands before the final shot is used, easily letting opponents punish the attack's landing lag, but is a good juggling tool and KO move if the final hit connects at height.
Down aerial			10% (base), 15% (tip)	Pauses, then fires a single energy burst below himself/herself. Deals extra damage and meteor smashes if sweet spotted at the tip of the blast.
Grab			—
Pummel			2%	Hits the opponent with his/her arm cannon.
Forward throw			5%	Punches the enemy away with the arm cannon.
Back throw			2% (throw), 3% (energy pellet)	Tosses the opponent behind himself/herself then fires a single energy pellet at the foe, similarly to Falco's back throw.
Up throw			2% (throw), 3% (energy pellet)	Tosses the enemy above himself/herself then fires a single energy pellet at the foe, similarly to Falco's up throw.
Down throw			5%	Tosses the enemy onto the ground.
Forward roll Back roll Spot dodge Air dodge		—	—
Techs		—	—
Floor attack (front) Floor getups (front)			?%
Floor attack (back) Floor getups (back)			?%
Floor attack (trip) Floor getups (trip)			5%	Shoots a blast of fire in front then behind him/herself.
Edge attack Edge getups			?%	Swings their arm cannon ahead
Neutral special	Default	Charge Blast	3.15% (uncharged), 22% (charged)	Charges and fires a large energy sphere. Functions like Samus's Charge Shot.
	Custom 1	Laser Blaze	2.6-3.6% depending on the distance the projectiles travel	Fires spammable green energy pellets that only deal damage and slightly push enemies back; similar to Fox's Blaster but fires at a slower rate and does more damage, similar to Falco's Burst Blaster.
	Custom 2	Grenade Launch	8% if all hits connect	Fires a grenade in an arc that will bounce along the ground a short distance and explode after a very short time after launch. The grenade will also detonate on impact with enemies, and charging this special will increase the distance the grenade is launched.
Side special	Default	Flame Pillar	4% (projectile), 6% (flame pillar)	Fires an energy shot diagonally down that erupts into a pillar of flame that lingers for a few moments, similarly to Robin's Arcfire and Ness's PK Fire, but only causes one strong hit.
	Custom 1	Stealth Burst	10.8-15.4%	Fires a small shining energy shot that detonates when the button is released, similarly to Zelda's Din's Fire but it only travels straight like Din's Flare. Holding the button gives the shot more distance and power before detonating, as well as making it vanish before the button is released or it reaches maximum power.
	Custom 2	Gunner Missile	4.5% (homing missile), 10% (super missile)	Functions like Samus's Missiles. Holding the button will fire a Homing Missile. Inputting like a Smash attack fires a Super Missile.
Up special	Default	Lunar Launch	7%	Releases an explosion beneath himself/herself, launching into the air.
	Custom 1	Cannon Uppercut	9% (concussive blast), 8% (uppercut)	Fires a concussive blast, then propels himself/herself with the arm cannon while punching into the air. A sweetspotted concussive blast can meteor smash. Similar to Palutena's Rocket Jump in that it meteor smashes opponents below the Mii Gunner if it is used midair.
	Custom 2	Arm Rocket	0%	Fires a small flame burst, then propels himself/herself with a stream of flames from the arm cannon. By holding the Control Stick in a direction, the Mii Gunner can travel more horizontally. Similar to Pit's and Dark Pit's Power of Flight but it covers slightly less distance.
Down special	Default	Echo Reflector	2% (activation), 1.4x damage (reflected projectiles)	Activates an octagonal shield that reflects projectiles. Functions like Fox's Reflector.
	Custom 1	Bomb Drop	2% (bomb), 9% (explosion)	Drops a small bomb that rolls along the ground and explodes upon contact with an enemy. Functions like Samus's Bomb.
	Custom 2	Absorbing Vortex	0%	Covers himself/herself with a glowing energy shield that absorbs energy projectiles and converts that damage to healing, similarly to Ness's PSI Magnet. Heals 1.2 times the damage he/she would have taken.
Final Smash		Full Blast	46%	The Mii Gunner shoots a strong laser, with two small laser cannons firing smaller lasers. Can be angled. Similar to Samus's Final Smash, Zero Laser.

A fighter based on your Mii! Gunners are all about the guns, of course. No matter how you set up your specials, you'll end up with a powerful arsenal.

Mii Gunner (Alt.)

One of the Mii Gunner's side specials is Stealth Burst. The missile blends in, making it tough to see. Plus, you can control when it explodes, so it's handy for surprise attacks! You could also use Absorbing Vortex to absorb damage done to you by energy weapons. This is one fighter with a lot of tricks up its sleeve!

Full Blast

The Mii Gunner's Final Smash unleashes a a wide, long-range beam of painful energy. The laser will hit several times, pushing back opponents before launching them with the last blow. You can adjust the laser beam's angle, so punish a foe who thought he or she was safe by trying to duck under the beam!

Mii Gunner's Final Smash is a set of laser beams fired straight ahead that reach all the way across the screen. These can hit repeatedly and push foes back, ultimately launching them at the end. While firing the beams, you can tilt them up and down, so fine-tune the angle to really go for your foes!

Trivia

• The design of the Mii Gunner used in promotional material and in-game renders is based on a slightly edited version of Guest F, one of the pre-loaded Miis available for use in games that feature Mii support. In this case, her hair uses a different design and color from the preloaded version, along with a smaller mouth and a different favorite color (orange instead of pink). She is also based on the default female Mii in Mii Maker, though again, with a different hairstyle.
• At the Nintendo Digital Event at E3 2014, Sakurai refers to the Mii Gunner's arm-cannon as "mysterious", but in the Palutena's Guidance conversation dedicated to the Gunner, the "mystery" is solved as the cannons are stated to be controlled via motion-controlled triggers.
  • Also according to that conversation, the backpack that Gunners wear holds all their ammo, but nothing on their models connect the packs to their cannons. Also, some outfits don't have a backpack or other method of storage with them at all.
• Mii Gunner has the most flame attacks of any character in any Smash game.
