*By collecting [[Custom Part]]s and completing [[challenges]], players can unlock several custom outfits and headgear items for Mii Fighters, (for a complete list of these, see [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Mii Fighter|here]] for reference) and as of April 15th, 2015, even more clothing can be purchased as [[downloadable content]]. | *By collecting [[Custom Part]]s and completing [[challenges]], players can unlock several custom outfits and headgear items for Mii Fighters, (for a complete list of these, see [[Alternate costume (SSB4)#Mii Fighter|here]] for reference) and as of April 15th, 2015, even more clothing can be purchased as [[downloadable content]]. | ||
**Outfits are usually exclusive to one type of Mii Fighter and most of them match the Mii's favorite color as set in Mii Maker. Some outfits also change slightly depending on the Mii's gender, (e.g. the "Wild West Wear" outfit is exclusive to Mii Gunners, and the outfit features an added skirt if worn by females). On the contrary, headgear does not change depending on the type, gender, or favorite color of the Mii Fighter. | **Outfits are usually exclusive to one type of Mii Fighter and most of them match the Mii's favorite color as set in Mii Maker.

Due to their movesets being primarily built around customization, Mii Fighters have not seen much tournament play as of yet. During the rare times where they are allowed in tournaments, they have gotten slightly above average results (likely due to unfamiliarity), especially the Brawler, who is considered among the best in the game. In said tournaments, the playable Miis are usually of average stats, with no equipment available, and players can choose from any combination of four special moves. Due to their current status as a mostly-banned character, though, none of the three types have had too much competitive representation outside of a small number of players (such as [[Smasher:Dapuffster|Dapuffster]], who primarily mains the Mii Brawler). Furthermore, the inability for them to be used in [[For Glory]] hinders their metagame advancement. | Due to their movesets being primarily built around customization, Mii Fighters have not seen much tournament play as of yet, due to resistance from tournament Smashers revolving mostly around the fact that other characters (aside from Palutena) have to unlock their custom special moves, and that Mii Fighters need to be set up manually, even if restricted to their default moves only.

*Mii Fighters are the first playable characters that represent the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. This is probably because, as Sakurai stated during the Digital Event, "they are almost not even Miis anymore." Though it could also be due to the fact that Miis have no original universe to represent, as they are meant to represent Nintendo console and game owners. | *Mii Fighters are the first playable characters that represent the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

*Lifting the character selection token for a CPU Mii Fighter in [[With Friends]] would often cause the game to crash if the player is not the original room creator. This was patched in [[List of updates (SSB4-3DS)#1.0.4|version 1.0.4]]. | **Another possibility is that the ''Super Smash Bros.'' universe designation belongs not to the Mii characters themselves, but specifically to the characters Brawler, Swordfighter, and Gunner, with the Mii used to create the character influencing the size, but - other than that - just being a costume and name, since the actual Mii could represent almost any universe, from the real world to {{s|wikipedia|Star Wars}}. | ||
