Mii Fighter (Miiファイター, Mii Fighter) is a type of playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They were confirmed as playable characters on June 12th, 2018 with their Brawler, Swordfighter, and Gunner variants returning. Masahiro Sakurai stated in their introduction that Mii Fighters are planned for inclusion in online battles. Previously, their use online was restricted to playing with friends in Smash 4. The Mii Fighters are classified as fighters #51, #52, and #53 respectively.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
- The list below covers the general changes of the Mii Fighters as a whole. For information about each Mii Fighter's moveset changes, see Mii Brawler (SSBU), Mii Swordfighter (SSBU), and Mii Gunner (SSBU).
Aesthetics
- As with all veterans returning from SSB4, the Mii Fighters' models feature more subdued color schemes.
- Players can customize the Mii Fighter's voice clips. Up to 12 voices are selectable.
- The Mii Fighters no longer show anger while taunting.
- You can now customize the costume colors; it no longer depends on the Mii's selected color.
- All three types of Mii Fighter have had their body proportions adjusted.
- While still based off default Miis, each Mii Fighter has an altered appearance.
- The default outfits for the Mii Fighters have significantly more detail:
- The Mii Brawler's default outfit features a stylized shirt with extra padding on their forearms and shins.
- The Mii Swordfighter's default outfit is now a tunic with additional armor pieces, along with a sheath on their back.
- The Mii Gunner's default outfit is now a bodysuit with a character-colored jacket and boots.
Misc.
- On the character selection screen all three classes of Mii Fighter are listed separately instead of sharing a slot.
- As a result, the announcer now says "Mii Brawler", "Mii Swordfighter", and "Mii Gunner" instead of simply "Mii" for all three classes.
- The Mii Fighter's victory theme is now a remixed version of Ultimate's theme song.
- All three Mii Fighter types versus portraits have had their faces blocked out when using customized Miis.
- When using custom Miis during online or local wireless play, their custom names will no longer be displayed. Instead, "Mii BRAWLER", "Mii SWORDFIGHTER", or "Mii GUNNER" will be displayed as their name.

Trivia
- Although the Mii Fighters technically represent the Super Smash Bros. universe in both Smash 4 and Ultimate, the stage shown on their character page background is Find Mii, a stage based on a Mii-represented game.
- Additionally, in the "display by series" organization on the site, the Mii Fighters use the Mii Channel logo instead of the Smash Bros. logo.
- Despite being fighters #51, #52, and #53 respectively, they are not placed between Greninja and Palutena in the character selection screen.
- The Mii Fighters are the only characters in Ultimate to have customizable moves.
- Although the Mii Fighters have three separate types, they have only one stock icon shared between them, which resembles the default Mii Brawler's head.
