Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release.

Aesthetics

• Players can customize the Mii Fighter's voice clips. Up to 12 voices are selectable.
• Mii Gunners have had their body proportions adjusted.
• While still based off the "Guest F" Mii, the default Mii Gunner has an altered appearance.
• The default outfits for the Mii Gunners have significantly more detail, now being a bodysuit with a character-colored jacket and boots. They no longer wear an ammo backpack.
• The Mii Gunner has a different idle animation.

Attributes

• Like all characters, the Mii Gunner's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete (down from 6).
• Mii Gunner dashes faster.

Ground attacks

• Neutral attack's hits are now a jab with the left hand, followed by a kick, then an explosion for the final hit.
• Forward tilt has reduced startup and ending lag.
• Down tilt has reduced startup and greatly reduced ending lag.
• Forward smash has had slightly reduced startup and ending lag.
• Up smash has had its ending lag greatly reduced.
• Down smash has had its range reduced on the first hit.
• The first hit of its down smash no longer drags opponents in behind Mii Gunner.
  • This hinders the move's usability in situations it previously excelled in, such as a by the ledge.
  • To compensate, the first hit's damage has been increased to nearly match of the second hit's, making the damage output overall more consistent.

Aerial attacks

• Neutral aerial has increased range and reduced landing lag. It can now lead into followups upon landing.
• Forward aerial has decreased range and slightly more landing lag.
• Back aerial has less landing lag.
• Up aerial has a new animation. Mii Gunner now "stands" upright while performing the move, rather than laying on her back.
  • The move itself has reduced startup and landing lag.
  • The move's duration has been shortened, making it less effective at trapping opponents air dodges.
• Down aerial has decreased startup and landing lag.

Throws/other attacks

• The Mii Gunner's pummel is now a knee strike, rather than an arm cannon bash.
• All of Mii Gunner's throws have been buffed, each dealing much more damage, whereas previously each only did 5%.

Special Moves

• Like Samus's Charge Shot, Charge Blast can be now charged while in mid-air.
• Flame Pillar has reduced startup and ending lag. The projectile itself now hits multiple times, similar to Robin's Arcfire, making it better for pressuring shields and allowing for better follow-ups on-stage.
• Lunar Launch travels a much greater distance, making it better for recovering with.
  • Mii Gunner's aerial drift after using Lunar Launch has been reduced, making it worse for drifting back on stage after the move is over.
• Cannon Uppercut has been reworked into Cannon Jump Kick, which still features a launch with Mii Gunner's arm cannon but uses a kick instead of a punch to deal damage while moving up.
• Echo Reflector has been redesigned; it is now two yellow hexagons that rotate around Mii Gunner.
• Laser Blaze now makes opponents flinch, similar to Falco's lasers.
• Arm Rocket can now be tilted left or right to adjust the Mii's flight angle.
• Bomb Drop can now be triggered manually.

Role in World of Light

The Mii Gunner was absent in the World of Light trailer, though it presumably became a spirit alongside the rest of the galaxy (excluding Kirby) when Galeem unleashed its beams of light.
