Mii Fighter (SSB4)

Mii Fighter in Super Smash Bros. 4
Universe	Super Smash Bros.
Availability	Starter
Final Smash	varies

Mii Fighters (Miiファイター, Mii Fighter) are newcomers in Super Smash Bros. 4. Three variations exist: the Mii Brawler, who relies on physical combat, the Mii Swordfighter, who relies on skilled sword combat, and the Mii Gunner, who relies heavily on projectiles. Mii Fighters cannot be used when playing With Anyone online, but can be used for With Friends online. Mii Fighters are fought in Multi-Man Smash (under the name "Fighting Mii Team"), where, like other Enemy teams, they are unable to use special moves and have limited defenses.

General information

• As with Palutena, Mii Fighters' custom special moves are completely different from the defaults and are available from the start. Additionally, Mii Fighters will retain their custom moves even if customization is disabled.
• By collecting Custom Parts and completing challenges, players can unlock custom outfits and headgear for Mii Fighters.
  • Outfits are exclusive to one type of Mii Fighter and will match the Mii's favorite color as set in Mii Maker. Some outfits also change slightly depending on the Mii's gender.
    • For instance, the Fancy Suit is exclusive to Mii Gunners.
  • Headgear can be worn by any Mii Fighter regardless of type and is not affected by favorite color or gender. Much of the available headgear is based on that featured in the 3DS's StreetPass Mii Plaza; this includes the headgear of certain other characters such as Samus and Meta Knight, as well as non-playable characters like Barbara the Bat.
• There is no functional difference between male and female Mii Fighters.
• A Mii Fighter's height depends on what the used Mii's height is set to in Mii Maker; the smaller the Mii, the speedier it is, while the larger the Mii, the more powerful it is.
• Mii Fighters cannot be made from special-edition Miis (which are identifiable by their gold-colored pants); their slots will appear blank in the Mii selection screen.
• Unlike most in-game uses of Miis, Mii Fighters are not tied to the original Mii data. Editing or deleting a Mii in Mii Maker will not affect any Mii Fighters based on that Mii.
• Up to 99 Mii Fighters can be saved on one console.
• As of Version 1.0.5 of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, players can share Mii Fighters both publicly and with friends using the online Share mode. Mii Fighters received in this way cannot be edited. This functionality is not yet available in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
• Mii Fighters occupy only a single slot on the character selection screen; as such, solo modes will record only one high score for them, despite the three types playing differently. However, the types do have separate trophies to obtain through Classic Mode and All-Star Mode.
• Outside of the Fighting Mii Team, Mii Fighters never appear as CPU opponents in solo modes.
• Mii Fighters cannot be used when playing With Anyone.
• If a Mii Fighter has custom moves, they cannot be used in Events.

Mii Brawler

Main article: Mii Brawler (SSB4)

Main article: Mii Gunner (SSB4)

As Multi-Man opponents

Main article: Multi-Man Mode

In Multi-Man Smash, Mii Fighters appear as the opposing hordes. They differ from playable Mii Fighters in that, instead of the customizable costumes, each fighter wears a uniform black outfit with a white 'M' logo. Any Mii on the player's system can appear as a Swordfighter, Brawler or Gunner, regardless of what Mii Fighters have been made.

Trivia

• According to Masahiro Sakurai during the Super Smash Bros. Developer Discussion at E3 2014, the celebrity Miis shown during the trailer (president Abraham Lincoln, actor Elijah Wood, rapper Ice-T and Japanese comedian Shinya Arino) were all actual character suggestions posted by Miiverse users.
• Mii Fighters are one of three newcomers not to have a special illustration on the official website, the others being Lucina and Dark Pit. That being said, Lucina and Dark Pit share illustrative posters with Robin and Palutena respectively that are only accessible through their pages. This makes the Mii Fighters the only newcomers to be completely absent on any promotional poster.
  • Mii Fighters are also the only newcomer not to have their trailer on their official website character page, but they were given a special trailer during the Nintendo Digital Event.
• 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 Mii's have no original universe to represent, as they are meant to represent Nintendo console and game owners.
• Lifting the character selection token for a CPU Mii Fighter in With Friends will often cause the game to crash if the player is not the original room creator. This was patched in version 1.0.4.
• The Mii Fighters are the only opponents in Multi-Man Mode that are playable without hacking (although the costumes are not normally wearable).
• The Mii Fighters are the first characters since Captain Falcon in Smash 64 whose stock icons are not heads.
• The Mii Fighters are the only characters in the entire series who do not appear as opponents in All-Star Mode.
• The outfits worn by the Miis of AKB48 for the special commercial features their Brawlers in the Vampire Garb, Swordfighters in the Pirate Outfit, and Gunners in the Mage Robe.
• If the game is left idle on the title screen, a Mii Fighter can sometimes be seen in Attract Mode segments. However the Mii Fighters won't have any custom costumes or headgear on.
