—The Brawler's Ultimate description

The Mii Brawler (Mii格闘タイプ, Mii Hand-to-Hand Fighting Type) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They were confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018 along with the other Mii Fighter types, the Swordfighter, and the Gunner. The Mii Brawler is classified as fighter #51.

As with the other Mii Fighter types, the Mii Brawler has 12 voice options, provided by Yūji Kishi, Takashi Ōhara, Ryōtarō Okiayu, Michihiko Hagi, Hideo Ishikawa, Kiyoyuki Yanada, Umeka Shōji, Ayumi Fujimura, Makiko Ōmoto, Minami Takayama, and Kimiko Saitō.

Attributes

Being the "up close and personal" Mii Fighter, the Brawler now possesses a good walking/dashing speed and the ability to wall jump in exchange for now being a middleweight fighter (sharing the same weight as Inkling, Ness, and Lucas) with a fast falling speed and subpar air acceleration. As a Mii Fighter, their specials are determinant on the player's choice. Like the other two Mii Fighters, they have access to 12 different specials: Shot Put, Flashing Mach Punch, and Exploding Side Kick (Neutral Special), Onslaught, Burning Dropkick, and Suplex (Side Special), Soaring Axe Kick, Helicopter Kick, and Thrust Uppercut (Up Special), and Head-On Assault, Feint Jump, and Counter Throw (Down Special).

As with other Mii Fighters, one of the strengths of the Mii Brawler is its diverse set of special moves. Many of their specials help rack up damage, improve their recovery, or possess fantastic KO power. Shot Put is a fantastic tool for edgeguarding due to its' arc and strong knockback. Moves such as Burning Dropkick and Feint Jump both aid the Brawler's recovery, providing decent horizontal distance. Suplex serves as a potent mindgame special, as well as an excellent way of racking up damage, dealing about 20% for each successful Suplex landed, even when stale.

Accompanying their varying specials, the Mii Brawler is a fairly nimble fighter with decent combo potential. Their walking and dashing speed is above average and many of their normals have relatively low start-up and ending lag. All of their tilts and aerials (with the exception of down aerial) come out fairly quickly with potential follow-ups. Up tilt can chain into itself at low percentages while down tilt can combo into forward aerial at low percentages and other aerials/special moves at higher percentages. Neutral aerial is an excellent sex kick that boasts a wide range of utility due to its' speed and extremely low landing lag, making it a very useful tool for edgeguarding, initiating and breaking combos, and approaching. Forward tilt serves as a decent spacing tool due to it no longer having a sour spot and its' ability to be angled while their down throw is a very good combo initiator, capable of comboing into a variety of moves. Additionally, the Mii Brawler has a plethora of moves that have high KO potential. Forward smash deals extremely high knockback and can kill at low-mid percentages. The initial hit of up smash is a potent finisher that has very low start-up lag. Many of their specials can secure early KOs as well, especially in Thrust Uppercut and Helicopter Kick, both in which excel at early vertical KOs. Exploding Side Kick has the same KO potential of Falcon Punch and is safe on shield, Head-On Assault and Soaring Axe Kick can perform suicidal KOs at extremely low percentages (the former which is also a potent shield breaker), and Counter Throw is one of strongest counters in the game tied with King K. Rool's Gut Check, but lower than Joker's Tetrakarn.

Interestingly, Mii Brawler has excellent defensive tools. Neutral aerial serves as a quick out of shield option with its 6-frame start-up, factoring in the initial jump squat frames. Up Smash has Mii Brawler's legs intangible for the first half of its active frames making it a great anti-air option. Finally, 2 of Mii Brawler's Up Specials, Soaring Axe Kick and Thrust Uppercut, also serve as great out of shield options with the former having excellent range to punish laggy disjointed attacks and the latter being Mii Brawler's fastest OOS option at frame 3.

However, the Mii Brawler does have their own flaws. In exchange for their decent mobility and speed, they are now able to be KO'd fairly easily. This is further exacerbated by its' status as a fast-faller, now being a very susceptible target to combos. Furthermore, the Mii Brawler lacks the tools to force approaches and has to make hard commitments when approaching due to the lack of safe options.

Another issue with the Mii Brawler is the lack of reliable KOs confirms at medium to high percents. At those percentages, most of Mii Brawler's combo setups stopped confirming into their kill moves due to the former dealing too much knockback. Their KO options are pretty flawed with some of them having either too much lag (Such as Forward Smash and Onslaught) or poor range (Down Smash and Up Smash). Because of this, they've resorted to relying on back aerial, Up Smash out of shield, hard reads and tech-chasing to secure stocks.

The Mii Brawler's grab game is also slightly worsened. While superior to that of the other Mii Fighters, many of the Mii Brawler's grabs do not offer a great deal of utility. Down throw is no longer as good of a combo initiator as it was in SSB4, up throw provides no true follow-ups due to its' high ending lag, and their KO throw, forward throw, only KOs at the edge at very high percentages.

In terms of recovery, Mii Brawler has some good options. Both Soaring Axe Kick and Thrust Uppercut have great vertical distance. However, the former is more reliable for recovery due to having better ledge snapping but the latter travels a short horizontal distance and has the ability to hit opponents near the ledge. Horizontal-wise, Mii Brawler has Burning Dropkick, Helicopter Kick and Feint Jump. Feint Jump, much like Flip Jump is a good tool that can both mix up and extend the Mii Brawler's otherwise lackluster recovery. Burning Dropkick can be used multiple times and its decent travel distance can be further improved by B-reversing it in the air. Helicopter Kick is also fairly decent as a horizontal recovery move but it does come with a huge penalty in vertical recovery.

Overall, the Mii Brawler is a character with very good frame data, above-average mobility, a decent grab game and a variety of moves that can combo, juggle, and secure KOs. However, they are held back by their poor range and limited off-stage presence due to their fast fall speed. And while their strengths do overshadow their weaknesses, many players have considered the Mii Brawler to be generally inferior to characters who have a similar fighting archetype such as Mario and Squirtle. As a result, they tend to struggle in some matchups, particularly versus characters with projectiles or disjoints.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

The Mii Brawler has received a large mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition to Ultimate, and it is ambiguous to whether they have been overall buffed or nerfed. The Mii Brawler has been the most extensively modified of the Mii Fighters, especially in terms of custom moves. With height and weight now being fixed, the Mii Brawler now has set attributes, now being a middleweight fast faller with high mobility and effective close combat abilities, making their playstyle along the lines of other combo-oriented "footsies" fighters like Little Mac or Squirtle.

In terms of move changes, aside from some animation changes that set their moves apart from other characters, the Brawler's standard moveset has been overall buffed. Their moves' functionality has not been altered significantly, with quality-of-life changes like forward tilt losing its sourspot, forward aerial being faster and connecting better, and moves such as their smash attacks and back aerial getting moderate to high increases in knockback. Similarly to the other Mii Fighters, the Brawler's default special moves have been buffed exponentially, with them being the largest recipient of the Brawler's buffs: Shot Put has less endlag and sends at a lower angle that makes it more useful, Onslaught has increased KO potential overall, Soaring Axe Kick covers slightly more distance and the descending part now has to be manually inputted, and Head-On Assault can now KO and deals increased shield damage. These changes give them a larger abundance of powerful moveset choices, fixing one of the Brawler's former weaknesses and allowing the Brawler to function just as effectively without altered customs.

The Brawler is the Mii Fighter to have the biggest access to entirely new special moves: each directional input (neutral, side, up, down) has a new special move that replaces another: Ultimate Uppercut was replaced by Flashing Mach Punch, a powerful multi-hit move; Headache Maker was replaced by Suplex, a damaging command grab; Piston Punch was replaced by Thrust Uppercut, a variant with more recovery potential and combo ability but less KO power; and Foot Flurry was replaced by Counter Throw, a unique counterattack with low cooldown, short counter frames, and a retaliating hit in the form of a grab. Each of these moves now give the Brawler a new option to handle several different situations.

However, the Mii Brawler has also received notworthy nerfs, which arguably counterbalance their buffs. The Brawler's set attributes are a double-edged sword, as their lower weight, slower air speed, and higher falling speed and gravity, makes them easier to both combo and KO and removes their neutral and forward aerial's ability to autocancel from a short hop. Additionally, some of the Brawler's best moves have been nerfed: down throw's higher knockback scaling limits followups after mid percents, vastly reducing the KO power of their combo strings and preventing the Brawler from KOing as early as 85% through throw combos. The Brawler's best followup options from down throw also have weaker KO potential, since Helicopter Kick has lowered knockback and Thrust Uppercut's knockback is lower compared to Piston Punch. As a result, the Brawler's KO setups have actually been reduced, since they now only serve to rack up damage instead of KOing.

Despite Soaring Axe Kick's vastly improved utility and distance, some of the Brawler's other recovery choices have been nerfed in distance, making the Brawler's recovery less reliable than before: Onslaught travels a reduced distance if performed in the air, Burning Dropkick now has a fixed distance and cannot be charged (which also reduces its utility) and Feint Jump travels at a more downward angle, which when combined with the Brawler's increased fall speed and gravity gives the move less distance. The Brawler's approach options have also been reduced due to the removal of Ultimate Uppercut and Foot Flurry, the former removing a super armor option in exchange for invincibility when Flashing Mach Punch connects, and the latter removing one of their only approaching attacks in exchange for a counterattack in Counter Throw. Lastly, the Brawler also retains some of their former weaknesses from Smash 4, such as a below-average neutral game due to their poor range, unreliable aerials for approaching and only passable projectile, an inconsistent combo game, slightly below-average frame data for a fighter of their playstyle, trouble at landing their powerful KO options, and a predicable recovery.

Overall, the changes to the Mii Brawler's moveset allow more of their special moves to shine while granting them better utility, though at the cost of their strongest tools being streamlined, and the extreme changes their special moves have gained means the Brawler has to take advantage of their buffed special moves to counteract the nerfs to their potent down throw combos. Due to these factors, the Brawler is arguably the weakest of the three Mii Fighters, although they have received consistent and notable buffs throughout patches, unlike the other Mii Fighters. Overall, their viability compared to the cast and, more significantly, their impact on the metagame, are still yet to be determined due to their low representation and amount of results.

Aesthetics

• Mii Brawler's name on UIs is now said Mii Brawler across all English and Asian versions of the game, rather than Mii Fighter in the Japanese version.
• Players can customize the Mii Brawler's voice clips from 12 different voices, with 3 different pitches.
• Mii Brawlers have had their body proportions adjusted: they are now much more realistic, compared to the more cartoony proportions they had in Smash 4.
• While still based on the "Guest C" Mii, the default Mii Brawler has an altered appearance. He has slightly darker skin (which is closer to the skin tone of "Guest C"), his hair is longer, and he has a different mouth and eyebrows, giving him a more stern expression instead of a neutral one as he did in Smash 4.
• The default outfit for the Mii Brawler has significantly more detail. They now have a stylized character-colored shirt, blue soles and toes on their boots, black arm-length gloves instead of yellow wrist-length gloves, and extra padding on their forearms, knees, and shins.

Attributes

• Like all characters, the Mii Brawler's jumpsquat animation takes three frames to complete (down from 5).
• As with the other Mii Fighter types, the Mii Brawler now has fixed attributes:
  • Mii Brawler walks faster (1.15 → 1.26).
  • Mii Brawler dashes faster (1.72 → 1.92).
    • Mii Brawler's initial dash is much faster (1.6 → 1.97).
  • Mii Brawler's traction is significantly higher (0.045 → 0.12).
  • Mii Brawler has a slower air speed (1.2 → 1.15).
  • Mii Brawler falls much faster (1.7 → 1.92). This slightly improves their vertical mobility, but makes them more vulnerable to combos.
  • The Mii Brawler's gravity is much higher (0.1 → 0.192). This lets the Brawler reach their maximum falling speed faster, improving their mobility, but reduces their jump height and makes them much more susceptible to combos and meteor smashes.
  • The Mii Brawler now has a set weight of 94, down from 100 in Smash 4. This makes their weight on par with Ness, Lucas and Inkling, and makes them the lightest Mii Fighter. The Mii Brawler is now lighter than the lightest possible Mii in Smash 4, hindering their survivability, while still being more vulnerable to combos due to their faster falling speed and gravity.
• Due to their higher falling speed and gravity, the Mii Brawler's short hop and full jump last for a shorter time (short hop: 36 frames → 28, full jump: 55 frames → 41).
• Forward roll grants less intangibility (frames 4-16 → 4-15).
• Back roll has more startup with reduced intangibility (frames 4-16 → 5-16) and increased ending lag (FAF 30 → 35).
• Spot dodge has less ending lag (FAF 27 → 26).
• Spot dodge has more startup with reduced intangibility (frames 2-17 → 3-17).
• Air dodge has increased intangibility (frames 3-27 → 3-29).
• Air dodge has significantly more ending lag (FAF 33 → 45).

Ground attacks

• Neutral attack:
  • Apart from the final hit, all of neutral attack's hits deal less damage (hit 1: 3% → 1.8%, hit 2: 2% → 1%, looping hits: 1% → 0.5%).
  • The first hit has two additional hitboxes, but reduced hitbox sizes (2.8u/4.0u → 1.6/1.6/1.8/1.8). This reduces the attack's vertical range.
  • The second hit has altered hitbox sizes (4.0u/2.8u/2.8u → 3.0/3.5/3.5).
  • The first two hits have increased hitlag (1.0x → 1.8x hit 1/1.2x hit 2).
  • The infinite's hitbox is larger (3.5u → 4.0), increasing its vertical range. It also has reduced hitlag (1.0x → 0.6x) and a lower SDI multiplier (1.0x → 0.4x). These changes make it much harder to escape.
  • The infinite has modified stretch positionings (Z-axis: 15.5 → 8.0, Z-stretch: 9.0 → 15.5). Overall, the infinite's horizontal range is unchanged.
  • The finisher's hitbox is no longer an extended hitbox, but now has has three additional hitboxes. All of them have reduced sizes (4.5u → 3.5/3.5/3.5/3.5). This gives the move around the same range.
  • All hits except for the finisher send at lower angles (hit 1: 45˚/80˚ → 361˚/361˚/180˚/361˚, hit 2: 94˚/45˚/45˚ → 361˚/180˚/180˚, infinite: 75˚ → 361˚). This allows the attack to connect significantly better, and allows the two first hits to lock.
  • All hits except for the finisher no longer have set knockback (hit 1: 10/15 set/100 scaling → 25/25/20/20 base/25/25/15/15 scaling, hit 2: 25/15/15 set/100 scaling → 25 base/25/20/20 scaling, infinite: 10 set/100 scaling → 7 base/20 scaling).
• Forward tilt:
  • All angles no longer have a sourspot on the Mii Brawler's leg that deals less damage.
  • All angles have altered knockback (12 base/100 scaling → 34/86). This makes the move safe on hit at low percentages, but slightly hinders its KO power at high ones.
• Dash attack:
  • Both the clean and late hits have a new hitbox on the Brawler's leg. This makes the attack more likely to connect.
  • The late hit's farthest hitbox has slightly reduced size (3.5u → 3.2), reducing the attack's range.
• Forward smash:
  • Forward smash has a slightly different animation: it now leaves an electrical trail on the Mii Brawler's fist (though it does not deal electric damage). The Mii Brawler also no longer flexes their fist during the ending animation; instead, the Brawler pumps their arms downwards.
  • The Mii Brawler now steps further forward when using their forward smash, giving it slightly more range.
  • The move lasts for one more frame (frame 17 → 17-18).
  • The move deals more knockback (30 base/100 scaling → 35/102), improving its already great KO power.
• Up smash:
  • The clean hit deals more knockback (32 base/93 scaling → 33/96).
• Down smash:
  • Both hits deal more knockback (front: 31 base/80 scaling → 41/85, back: 83 scaling → 88). This improves the move's KO power, especially the front hit.

Aerial attacks

• All aerials except down aerial have less landing lag (Neutral: 10 → 6, Forward/Back: 14 → 11, Up: 14 → 10).
• Neutral aerial:
  • The move has reduced ending lag (FAF: 56 → 46). It is no longer the sex kick with the most ending lag by a significant margin.
  • Mii Brawler's leg no longer extends at the start of the move. Due to the hitboxes being attached to the feet, this results in the clean hit having considerably less range. Also, due to Mii Brawler's higher fast speed and gravity, it can no longer auto-cancel in a short hop.
• Forward aerial:
  • Forward aerial has a new animation: the Mii Brawler now does two alternating kicks inwards, instead of a spin kick.
  • Both hits deal more damage (hit 1: 4% → 5%, hit 2: 5% → 6%).
  • The second hit has faster startup (frame 18 → 15), allowing both hits to connect better while rising.
    • However, this means the first hit is now more difficult to use the first hit to initiate combos by landing.
  • The first hit no longer has set knockback (40/40 set/100 scaling → 39/47 base/10 scaling) or sends at the autolink angle (366˚ → 25˚), making it connect less reliably when falling or moving backwards.
  • One of the hitboxes on both hits is larger (hit 1: 3.0u → 3.5, hit 2: 4.0u → 4.3).
    • However, both hits' hitboxes have modified positionings (hit 1: 4.2/0.0 X-axis → 4.2/-1.0, hit 2: 4.2/0.0 X-axis → 4.2/-1.3). This decreases the second hit's range very slightly.
  • The move auto-cancels earlier (frame 43 → 30). However, the move is still unable to auto-cancel from a short hop due to the Brawler's faster falling speed and gravity.
• Back aerial:
  • The move deals more damage (10% → 12%) and has more knockback scaling (100 → 105), significantly improving its KO potential.
  • Mii Brawler's leg no longer extends at the start of the move. Due to the hitboxes being attached to the feet, this results in the move having considerably less range.
• Up aerial:
  • The move deals more damage (8% → 9%). This makes it safer on hit, improving its combo ability.
• Down aerial:
  • The meteor hitbox has significantly more knockback scaling (80 → 95), although it is still weaker than the clean hit on grounded opponents.

Throws and other attacks

• Pummel deals less damage (3.25% → 1.3%) but is much faster.
• Forward throw:
  • It launches at a lower angle (45˚ → 42˚), improving its ability to set up edgeguards and slightly improving its KO potential.
• Back throw:
• The first hit deals more damage (2% → 4%).
• The move has a more fluid animation.
• Up throw:
  • It deals more damage (8% → 11%), although it is still incapable of KOing until Sudden Death percentages.
• Down throw:
  • The move has more knockback scaling (100 → 120), making followups more difficult at mid percents and completely removing them at high ones. The reduced knockback of Helicopter Kick and the replacement of Piston Punch with Thrust Uppercut also make down throw KO setups only effective at low percents (with the aid of platforms) and mid percents (near the edge).

Special moves

Neutral specials

• Shot Put:
  • The move has less ending lag after throwing the ball (FAF: 80 → 68).
  • The iron ball's clean hit sends at a lower angle (67˚ → 47˚), improving its utility at keeping opponents away and its edgeguarding ability.
  • The iron ball deals slightly more damage as it bounces (first bounce: 11% → 11.25%, second bounce: 8% → 8.4%).
  • The iron ball appears to be smaller. However, its hitbox remains the same.
• Exploding Side Kick:
  • The move now causes Special Zoom when it lands.
  • A reversed Exploding Side Kick deals more damage (27%/25% → 28%/26%).
  • The aerial Exploding Side Kick's sourspot deals very slightly less damage (19.55% → 19.549999%), though this is unnoticeable in gameplay.
  • An aerial reversed Exploding Side Kick deals more damage (22.95%/21.25% → 23.799999%/22.1%).
  • The move has increased knockback (grounded/aerial: 35 base/79 scaling → 40/80, reversed/aerial reversed: 35 base/79 scaling → 40/77). This makes the move safer on hit and slightly improves its KO power.
  • Both reversed versions have faster startup (frame 58 → 52).
  • Exploding Side Kick has significantly lower ending lag (grounded/aerial: FAF 90 → 80, reversed/aerial reversed: FAF 98 → 82), making it much safer on shield.
  • The move can be reversed much later (up until frame 48, just before the kick comes out). Coupled with the new dodge mechanics, this makes the move better for punishing a dodge.

Side specials

• Onslaught:
  • Onslaught has a different animation: the Mii Brawler now throws in a mixed barrage of punches and kicks, with the final hit being a backflip kick.
  • Onslaught has a new mechanic: Onslaught deals increased knockback as the Mii Brawler's damage accumulates, similarly to and separate from the effects of rage, but this multiplier lowers to 1x when the move is successfully used. It takes approximately 8 seconds until Onslaught's knockback multiplier returns to its increased value; a purple sparkle briefly appears on the Mii Brawler's shoes this happens. Due to this, the move is now capable of KOing at around 100% if not fully stale, and much lower with rage due to both the move's multiplier and rage stacking together.
  • Grounded Onslaught's second to last hit is now a meteor smash that drags opponents to the ground (75˚ → 270˚) and has higher knockback, with the opponent not being able to tech the hit, even at low percentages. This allows the entire move to connect consistently at higher percents.
    • However, the meteor smash will cause opponents to drop out of the move if they are near an edge, though this can be used to gimp opponents with weak vertical recoveries, and can set up for edgeguards.
  • Both versions now hit seven times instead of five. Each hit now deals more and consistent damage (grounded: 1.2% loop hits/1.2% hit 4/4% final hit/8.8% total → 2% hit 1/1.5% hits 2-6/5% hit 7/14.5% total, aerial: 1% loop hits/1% hit 4/4% final hit/8% total → 2% hit 1/1.5% hits 2-6/5% hit 7/14.5% total).
  • Both versions' final hit deals reduced knockback (80 base/175 scaling → 58/144). This makes the normal (stale) version KO slightly later.
  • Aerial Onslaught's final hit sends at a lower angle (80˚ → 70˚), making it prone to LSI and reducing its KO power at lower percents.
• Burning Dropkick:
  • Burning Dropkick can no longer be charged. The Mii Brawler now leaps forward and launches a fixed distance diagonally downwards after a brief pause. It has vastly reduced distance and can now miss entirely if started right next to an opponent, significantly reducing its recovery range, reliability, and utility for mindgames.
  • Burning Dropkick deals more damage compared to the previous uncharged version (10% → 13%).
  • Burning Dropkick's landing lag can be reduced by using it at the peak of a full hop.

Up specials

• Soaring Axe Kick:
  • Soaring Axe Kick's has faster startup (frame 16 → 10).
  • Soaring Axe Kick's first hit is now highlighted by a large blue trail that significantly increases its range.
  • Soaring Axe Kick's descending hit is much stronger, now being a capable KO option. It also has more base knockback, making sacrificial KOs significantly more effective especially against ledge-hanging opponents, though it still KOs the Brawler first if used offstage at 0%.
  • Soaring Axe Kick gains slightly more height and can now sweetspot the ledge halfway through the ascending hit; previously it could only do so right before the Brawler descended. This significantly improves its safety, as it was notoriously easy to intercept in Smash 4.
  • The descending part of the move now has to be initiated manually, similar to Cloud's Climhazzard. This eliminates the descending portion when recovering, which previously caused self destructs.
• Helicopter Kick:
  • The trajectory of Helicopter Kick's final hit can now be altered. Holding forward will make its knockback diagonal, while holding back will make its knockback more vertical.
  • Helicopter Kick travels significantly higher when used on the ground.
  • Helicopter Kick has lower knockback, especially if aimed upwards. This prevents it from KOing disproportionately early through throw combos, though it is still effective at the ledge.

Down specials

• Head-On Assault:
  • Head-On Assault has an altered startup animation, with the Brawler doing a half-backflip instead of a headbutt while rising. It also has a different ending animation; the Brawler simply stands back up again.
  • The descending hit no longer buries opponents. Instead, it deals diagonal knockback that can KO at 112%. This removes bury followups, but significantly improves its utility as an attack.
  • Head-On Assault's headbutt is now a corkscrewing attack that deals multiple hits very quickly. Each hit deals 1%, and a ground-starting attack can hit at least 3 times.
  • The descending hits deal less overall damage if started on the ground (8% → 4%).
  • Due to the multiple hits, Head-On Assault deals more damage if it lands on an aerial opponent, and it will always KO the opponent first if it the grounded version leads to a sacrificial KO. However, whoever is KO'd first is still inconsistent if the aerial version is used.
  • Head-On Assault deals significantly more shield damage, especialy the landing hit. This allows it to break full shields if all hits land.
• Feint Jump:
  • Feint Jump's kick now surrounds itself in a blue aura instead of purple.
  • The kick attack used during Feint Jump sends the Brawler flying at a more downward angle.
    • Because of this, its recovery potential has been worsened.
    • Mii Brawler can hit closer grounded opponents more easily but also can have a harder time hitting opponents from a far distance.
    • Feint Jump’s momentum is stopped completely when landing with the kick, removing its notorious ledge-cancel and resulting in high landing lag.
  • The Kick can be initiated much earlier and later, now adding more mixups.
  • When landing on an opponent during the descent of the flip, the Brawler will now automatically perform a meteor smashing kick that deals 7%.

Final Smash

• Omega Blitz now has the Brawler stay in one place while throwing a barrage of punches and kicks after dragging the opponent upward, the initial attack is now an upwards-arcing heel kick, and the Final Smash finishes with a downward punch rather than a chop.
• Because of the change of the initial attack, the activation hitbox has extended range.
• Omega Blitz deals more total damage (42% → 47%).
• The final hit deals considerably less knockback (85 base/162 → 63/132), making it noticeably weaker overall despite a marginally improved angle (272˚ → 270˚).

New special moves

The Mii Brawler has received four new special moves, each replacing one former special move from each category.

• Flashing Mach Punch:
  • This neutral special move replaces Ultimate Uppercut. It is a multi-hitting series of five fast punches from a single hand, that extends to a total of 22 consecutive punches if any initial hits connect. The final hit deals good vertical knockback and can KO at around 115%.
    • Compared to Ultimate Uppercut, Flashing Mach Punch deals consistent damage (8-22% → 17.9%).
    • Flashing Mach Punch does not leave the Mii Brawler helpless, and the first midair use causes them to stall.
    • Flashing Mach Punch has KO potential anytime it lands and has the same power on the ground and in the air, whereas Ultimate Uppercut needs to be fully charged and grounded to have KO potential.
    • Flashing Mach Punch offers invincibility for the duration of the move if it connects with an opponent, making it harder to interrupt than Ultimate Uppercut.
    • Unlike Ultimate Uppercut, Flashing Mach Punch does not offer armor for a few frames before an uncharged punch, or super armor during a fully-charged punch.
    • Flashing Mach Punch has punishable ending lag. It also cannot start the looping portion if it hits a shield.
• Suplex:
  • This side special command grab replaces Headache Maker. The Mii Brawler will dash forward a short distance: if it connects, the Brawler will lift the opponent into the air and do a backwards suplex, slamming the opponent headfirst into the ground.
    • Suplex goes through shields since it is a grab.
    • Suplex deals high damage for a command grab, and does more total damage than the strongest hit of Headache Maker (13% → 18%).
    • Suplex covers slightly more horizontal distance than Headache Maker, though it still travels less than Onslaught.
    • Suplex has very low knockback scaling, making it ineffective for KOing.
    • Suplex causes helplessness if used in the air, and causes the Brawler to be KO'ed first if used as a Sacrificial KO.
• Thrust Uppercut:
  • This up special move replaces Piston Punch. Unlike the other new moves, it is similar in function to the attack it replaced. It consists of a multi-hitting uppercut, dealing six hits in total. The Mii Brawler switches their hands for the final hit.
    • Thrust Uppercut travels higher with a bit of horizontal gain, making it better for recovering than Piston Punch. It can also be angled to travel further horizontally. These factors make Thrust uppercut a better recovery move and combo finisher than Piston Punch.
    • Thrust Uppercut has less startup lag (frame 4 → 3).
    • Thrust Uppercut deals more damage overall (3% (hit 1)/1% (hits 2-7)/10% (total) → 0.8% (hits 1-5)/9% (hit 6)/13.2% (total)).
    • While the final hit of Thrust Uppercut deals much more damage than Piston Punch's final hit (2% → 9%), its knockback scaling was not fully compensated (180 → 71), hindering its KO potential (although this is partially compensated by Thrust Uppercut travelling higher).
• Counter Throw:
  • This down special counterattack replaces Foot Flurry. After being hit, the Mii Brawler will grab the opponent before throwing the victim on the ground behind them.
    • Counter Throw removes a niche approach and aerial stalling option, but grants the Brawler a counterattack.
    • Unlike other counterattacks, Counter Throw has a very short duration, but very low ending lag, allowing it to be used more flexibly.
    • Counter Throw has the second highest damage multiplier of any counterattack by default (1.5×), tied with King K. Rool's Gut Check and surpassed by Joker's Tetrakarn.
    • Counter Throw completely fails against projectiles and attacks that hit the Brawler's legs, while any sufficiently disjointed move will cause the retaliating grab to miss.

Update history

The Mii Brawler has been significantly buffed from game updates. Update 2.0.0 improved the Brawler's offense by improving their neutral infinite, increasing the damage of up aerial and some special moves, extending up smash's sweetspot duration, and granting neutral and back aerials less landing lag. The landing lag decreases now make back aerial safer on shield, while giving late neutral aerial more followups, some into KO moves. Flashing Mach Punch's increased damage is more rewarding on hit, Exploding Side Kick's reduced ending lag makes it harder to punish, Onslaught's increased speed makes it easier to connect, Soaring Axe Kick is safer, Feint Jump's kick has more knockback, and Head-On Assault can now break full shields if all hits connect.

Patch 3.1.0 gave a mixed bag of changes, with their neutral attack and Flashing Mach Punch connecting more consistently. The Brawler's notoriously high falling and fast falling speeds were also reverted back to their SSB4 values, making them less susceptible to combos and juggles while also allowing forward aerial to autocancel out of a short hop. However, their airdodge and footstool animations were made laggier.

Patch 4.0.0 significantly improved the utility of what was commonly considered their two worst custom moves: Flashing Mach Punch was once again buffed by decreasing its startup and has more invulnerability if it connects, while also increasing the final hit's knockback, while Thrust Uppercut's final hit has more knockback, allowing it to actually KO at reasonable percents. However, the Brawler's infamously fast falling speed from earlier iterations has returned, resulting in the Brawler once again being easier to combo, forward aerial losing its ability to auto-cancel in a short hop, and the Mii Brawler's recovery being worse, but making them harder to juggle in return, as well make their airdodge and footstool animations less laggy.

Patch 5.0.0 gave a nerf to Counter Throw, making the move no longer grab opponents who are invincible/intangible except for Banjo & Kazooie's Wonderwing, due to its peculiar properties against grabs, while patch 6.0.0 reduced the horizontal range of its counterattack grabbox.

Patch 7.0.0 now makes Suplex easier to grab opponents.

As a result, the Mii Brawler is significantly better than they were during Ultimate's release.

2.0.0

• Neutral infinite has increased range (3.5u → 4u) and is harder to SDI.
• Up smash's sweetspot has a longer duration, with its sourspot having a shorter duration (frames 8-11/12-14 → 8-12/13-14).
• Neutral aerial has less landing lag (8 frames → 6).
• Back aerial has less landing lag (14 frames → 11).
• Up aerial deals more damage (8% → 9%), with knockback not compensated.

  • Shadow glitch from Bowser Jr. was fixed.

3.1.0

• Neutral attack 2 connects into neutral infinite more reliably.
• Neutral infinite has more range.
• Flashing Mach Punch's hits connects more reliably.
• Falling speed and fast falling speed reverted back to their SSB4 values. (1.92 → 1.7 (normal); 3.072 → 2.72 (fast fall)).
  • Because of this, forward aerial can now auto-cancel in a short hop.
  • The Mii Brawler's recovery travel farther as a result, and they are also less vulnerable to meteor smashes and semi-spikes.
  • Mii Brawler is harder to combo, but at the cost of easier to juggle.
  • Mii Brawler can act later after being footstooled in the air (FAF 31 → 35).
  • Mii Brawler's airdodges have more ending lag (FAF 42 → 45 (neutral), 70 → 77 (sideways), 86 → 92 (up), 59 → 65 (down)).
• Counter Throw collision with Alolan Whip no longer causes an already-grabbed opponent to become stuck in grab invulnerability state resulting in a game crash if KOed.

4.0.0

• The Mii Brawler's fall speed and fast falling speed has been reverted back to the pre-3.1.0 values (1.7 → 1.92 (normal), 2.72 → 3.072 (fast fall)).
  • All resulting changes from 3.1.0 have been reversed as a result.
• Flashing Mach Punch has less startup lag (frame 15 → 10) with its total duration reduced as well (FAF 60 → 55 (miss), 108 → 94 (hit)).
• Flashing Mach Punch has more invulnerability if it connects (frames 15-37 & 60-73 → 10-69).

7.0.0

• Suplex's grab range has been increased.

Moveset

• Mii Brawler can wall jump.

Note: All numbers are listed as base damage, without the 1v1 multiplier.

		Name	Damage	Description
Neutral attack			1.8%	Two quick punches, followed by a series of rapid punches, ending with a side kick. It is a useful close-range interceptor on the ground, but as it will only transition into the neutral infinite after the first two hits, it is punishable if shielded since it gives the opponent time to react.
			1%
			0.5% (loop), 2% (final hit)
Forward tilt	↗		8.5%	A roundhouse kick. Can be angled, which deals more damage when angled up or angled down, and is the Brawler's longest ranged tilt. Unlike the version in SSB4, it no longer has a sourspot. As a result, it is useful for creating space.
	→		8%
	↘		8.3%
Up tilt			6%	Punches with an uppercut. Sends the opponent upwards and slightly behind the Brawler, which is most noticeable at mid percents. As a result, it can juggle into itself at low percentages, drag the opponent closer for a grounded followup like a tilt, grab or up special, and set up aerial combos at mid percents, including back aerial. The move's hitbox can reach through the lower platforms of Battlefield and can hit prone opponents, but it cannot hit opponents behind the Brawler. Additionally, it has low horizontal range, and usually sends too far to combo after 120%.
Down tilt			8%	An inverted sweep kick along the ground. Knocks opponents upward, allowing it to combo into tilts or forward aerial at low percents, and aerials or any up special move at medium percents.
Dash attack			11% (clean), 6% (late)	A flying kick. A risky but useful approach option.
Forward smash			18%	A strong straight punch. The move moves the Brawler slightly forward. Although an electric trail appears at the Brawler's fist, it does not deal electric damage. It deals immense knockback and easily KOs from 75% at the center of Final Destination. However, it has high startup overall and incredibly high ending lag (hits on frame 17 and ends on frame 67), and its hitbox only lasts for two frames.
Up smash		Cartwheel Kick	14% (clean), 10% (late)	A flip kick. It has high speed (frame 8), which makes it a good anti-air and grounded combo finisher at low percents, and it can KO at around 120%. However, the late hit (after the Brawler completes 3/4 of the backflip) has significantly lower knockback growth and only KOs at around 170%. Like up tilt, its hitbox can reach through the lower platforms of Battlefield.
Down smash			13%	Punches forwards and kicks backwards simultaneously. Very fast like up smash (frame 9), with the lowest ending lag of all the Brawler's smash attacks (FAF 43). Both sides deal the same damage and knockback. However, both hits have very poor range.
Neutral aerial			10% (clean), 5% (late)	A sex kick, similar to Mario's neutral aerial. Its extremely high ending lag has been reduced from SSB4. Due to its startup (frame 3) and low landing lag (frame 8), it is a useful combo breaker, and the clean hit can act as a niche KO option at the sides of the stage at around 130%. As of the 2.0.0 patch, neutral aerial's landing lag is low enough for the weak hit to true combo into a multitude of moves, including neutral attack, Thrust Uppercut and Head-On Assault at low percents, or down tilt or Helicopter Kick at mid percents. Autocancels from a full hop.
Forward aerial			5% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2)	Two alternating inward kicks. The first kick can be used to initiate combos on grounded opponents, but as the kicks transition much faster than in SSB4, it is much more difficult to drag opponents to the ground with the first hit. Additionally, the move's hitboxes are on the Brawler's legs, which can cause it to whiff.
Back aerial			12%	A swinging back kick. Very fast (frame 7) and is the Brawler's most reliable KO option in midair. Has a small chance of tripping grounded opponents at low percents. However, its hitbox is very brief. Autocancels from a short hop, which allows it to wall out opponents.
Up aerial			9%	A spinning crescent kick. Autocancels from a short hop, has the second lowest ending lag of all the Brawler's aerials (frame 10), and has a wide hitbox; the front hitbox is capable of hitting tall characters out of a short hop (such as Marth). As a result, it is an excellent combo initiator or extender, as a falling up aerial can start grounded combos at low percents, or juggle into itself or any up special move at mid percents.
Down aerial			13% (clean), 12% (late)	Swings both fists beneath themself in a double axe handle. The clean hit is a powerful meteor smash, and sends grounded opponents diagonally upwards. However, it is the Brawler's slowest aerial in terms of startup lag, ending lag and landing lag. Autocancels from a full hop and double jump fast fall.
Grab			—	The Brawler reaches in front of themself.
Pummel			1.3%	Headbutts the opponent.
Forward throw			9%	Launches the opponent away with a backhand. It is the Brawler's KO throw, though it does so poorly as it KOs at around 144% at the edge of Final Destination.
Back throw			4% (kick), 5% (throw)	Kicks the opponent behind themself.
Up throw			11%	Knocks the enemy up with a palm strike. It is the Brawler's most damaging throw and can initiate aerial juggles, though it has no true followup potential due to its ending lag.
Down throw			2% (chop), 4% (throw)	Karate chops the opponent into the ground. This is the Brawler's combo throw, though it has been significantly nerfed from SSB4 due to it having higher knockback growth. As a result, it is still a reliable combo throw that can be extended into aerials, up special moves, or up aerial chains, though it has lost its potent KO setups at a wide percent range and quickly loses combo potential at high percents.
Forward roll Back roll Spot dodge Air dodge		—	—
Techs		—	—
Floor attack (front) Floor getups (front)			7%	Gets up while kicking both sides.
Floor attack (back) Floor getups (back)			7%	Same as their frontal floor attack.
Floor attack (trip) Floor getups (trip)			5%	Gets up while kicking both sides.
Edge attack Edge getups			9%	A low backhanded karate chop.
Neutral special	Default	Shot Put	15% (no bounce), 11.25% (first bounce), 8.4% (second bounce)	A shot put is thrown into the air as an arcing projectile. Bounces twice upon landing, which deals lower damage; if it misses, the shot travels a set distance before disappearing. Very damaging and strong for an unchargeable projectile, which makes for a useful edgeguarding tool.
	Custom 1	Flashing Mach Punch	0.4% (hits 1-21), 9.5% (hit 22); 17.9% if all hits connect	The Brawler performs five fast punches with a single hand. If any of these punches land, the move will extend into a flurry of consecutive punches, the maximum total being 22. The last hit deals good vertical knockback, KOing at around 115%. If the move lands on an opponent, the Brawler gains invincibility for the duration of the move, making the move hard to interrupt. Although it has respectably fast startup (frame 10), it has noticeable ending lag that makes it easy to punish if whiffed. If the first few hits are shielded, or hit opponents under the effects of armor, it will not transition to the looping portion of the move. The move doesn't lose power if used in the air, and the first use will stall the Brawler's descent. Subsequent uses will have the Brawler fall while punching, which can act as a niche landing option to catch approaching opponents.
	Custom 2	Exploding Side Kick	23% (leg), 25% (foot), 26% (reversed, leg), 28% (reversed, foot), 19.5% (aerial, leg), 21.25% (aerial, foot), 22.1% (reversed aerial, leg), 23.75% (reversed aerial, foot)	Stands on one leg and charges their leg in flame, before unleashing a powerful burning kick. Functions like Falcon Punch. The move can be reversed once anytime during the move; the window to do so is extremely lenient compared to other moves of its kind, allowing the Brawler to turn around right before the kick itself. The Brawler gains super armor just before the kick, even if started in midair, allowing it to function as a hard punish. For its power, it has surprisingly low ending lag, which was further reduced in the 2.0.0 patch; the move is safe on shield as a result.
Side special	Default	Onslaught	2% (hit 1), 1.5% (hits 2-7), 5% (hit 8)	Charges forward with their knee out. If the knee connects against an opponent, the Brawler will perform a series of blows (a knee strike, a kick with the opposite leg, a backhanded punch, a swinging fist punch with the opposite arm, a double-hitting axe kick, and a double-fisted axe handle swing) concluded by a backflip kick. If whiffed, there is noticeable endlag. In the air, even after attacking, Onslaught leaves the Brawler helpless. It has excellent KO potential, as it can KO grounded opponents as early as 110%. Onslaught deals increased knockback as the Mii Brawler's damage accumulates, similarly to and separate from the effects of rage, but this multiplier lowers to 1x when the move is successfully used. Onslaught will go back to full power after some time, indicated by a brief flash of purple sparkles on the Brawler's shoes. Despite its in-game description, accumulated damage doesn't affect the damage of the move.
	Custom 1	Burning Dropkick	13%	Extends both legs in front of themself, charging forward to deliver a dropkick while covered with flames. Unlike the previous iteration of this move, it is no longer chargeable, so it deals set damage. Furthermore, it now covers a set, albeit vastly reduced distance, and can now miss entirely if started right next to an opponent. As a result, it has lost majority of its utility from SSB4, though it is still an effective approach move due to its quick startup, and can also KO at high percents.
	Custom 2	Suplex	18%, 3% (collateral grab), 4.5% (collateral descent), 15% (collateral slam)	A command grab in which the Brawler dashes forward a short distance with their arms out in a grabbing motion. If it connects, the Brawler will lift the opponent into the air and do a backwards suplex, slamming the opponent headfirst into the ground. The Brawler gains super armor while throwing an opponent. Any opponents nearby for the grab and slam will take collateral damage. The move has extremely low knockback scaling, but can be used to effectively rack up damage. If used in midair, the move causes helplessness; it can grab foes near an edge and drag them off as a sacrificial KO, though it will always KO the Brawler first. Suplex makes for a poor horizontal recovery option, as it travels less distance than Onslaught.
Up special	Default	Soaring Axe Kick	4% (hit 1), 3% (air hit 2), 6% (ground hit 2), 4% (shockwave)	Performs an upward flip kick. Similar to Cloud's Climhazzard, a second press of the special move button will have the flip kick followed up by an axe kick that meteor smashes opponents in the air. The move will snap to ledges during the rising portion, and can also snap during the downward kick after a bit of travel time. Both hits transition quickly, and the landing hit has enough knockback to KO at around 120% near the edge of Final Destination. The meteor smash is notably powerful, as it can KO ledge hanging opponents at as low as 20%.
	Custom 1	Helicopter Kick	3% (hit 1, ground), 1.5% (hit 1, air), 1.5% (hits 2 - 5), 6% (hit 6)	Performs a flurry of spinning kicks while traveling diagonally upward, similar to Fox's forward aerial. Travels much higher if initiated from the ground. The trajectory of Helicopter Kick's final hit can be altered: holding forward will make its knockback diagonal, while holding back will make its knockback more vertical. This allows the Brawler to choose how to launch the opponent. Allows for long horizontal recovery, but lacks vertical lift. While it is still an excellent combo finisher out of aerials or a throw, its knockback has been heavily reduced from Smash 4, making it unable to KO extremely early near the sides of the stage.
	Custom 2	Thrust Uppercut	0.8% (hits 1-5), 9% (hit 6)	The Brawler rises upwards with a multi-hitting uppercut, at a slight diagonal trajectory. The uppercut is followed by a second uppercut with the opposite fist. By angling during the ascent, it is possible to travel further horizontally, though the move has deceptively low recovery distance due to the move's animation. It has very fast startup (frame 3), and renders the Brawler's arm intangible from frames 3 to 7. Like Helicopter Kick, Thrust Uppercut is a reliable combo finisher due to its speed, though its trajectory is more suitable for ending vertical combos. However, it is much weaker than the previous version (Piston Punch), which was capable of KOing out of a down throw from 65%. As a result, Thrust Uppercut's combos are more suited for damage racking, though it can KO near the top blast line at around 140%.
Down special	Default	Head-On Assault	6% (flip kick), 1% (multi-hits), 14% (landing)	The Brawler leaps up, performing a backflip kick with both of their legs, and plummets downward with a corkscrewing headbutt. If performed in the air, the Brawler will just perform the headbutt. On the ground, the initial leap sends the opponent into the main headbutt. In both versions of the move, the descending headbutt hits multiple times, and acts as a meteor smash. If the grounded version is used as a sacrificial KO, the opponent will be KO'd first. The grounded hit is very powerful and can KO consistently at 120%, though it is extremely risky due to its overall lag. If performed in midair while facing a ledge, the Brawler will be able to sweetspot said ledge, allowing it to be used as an edgeguard. The move does a high amount of shield damage, being able to break full shields if both hits connect.
	Custom 1	Feint Jump	10% (diving kick), 7% (meteor smashing kick)	Flips off the ground and, when the special button is pressed again, performs a divekick while surrounded by a blue aura. The startup offers brief intangibility. Similarly to Zero Suit Samus's Flip Jump, by landing on an opponent midair during the jump, the Brawler will automatically perform a kick which meteor smashes foes. The angle they are launched, however, is more diagonal, similar to that of Ryu's down air. The direction they are sent is opposite of the direction of the flip (i.e flipping to the right will diagonally meteor smash the opponent to the left, and vice versa). Both the jump and the kick can be reversed if the player taps in the other direction upon startup.
	Custom 2	Counter Throw	1.5× (minimum 14%), 9% (collateral hit)	The Brawler enters a defensive stance, bringing their arms close to their face. Upon being hit, the Brawler will counterattack by grabbing the opponent and slamming them on the ground behind themself. The slam will lightly damage nearby opponents. Unlike other counters, Counter Throw has a short duration, but low ending lag, allowing it to be used more flexibly. However, unlike other counters, Counter Throw completely fails against projectiles and attacks that hit their legs (i.e. attacks from underneath the Brawler), and moves with sufficiently disjointed hitboxes will cause the retaliating grab to miss. As a result, the counterattack can be rather inconsistent.
Final Smash		Omega Blitz	56.4%	Knocks the target into the air with an upwards-arching heel kick, and then proceeds to strike them with a maelstrom of punches and kicks before smashing them back downwards with a downward straight punch.

In competitive play

The viewpoint on the Mii Brawler was initially lackluster on release. Many players easily considered them to be the weakest of the three Mii Fighters due to their laggy and/or short-ranged moves, poor approach, status as an easily combo'd and KO'd character, and nerf to their down throw. They have received a numerous amount of buffs to their moveset and over time, more players such as ESAM and Leffen have began to change their viewpoint on them due to the realization of their very good frame data, combo/juggling potential, and recovery options, even going as far as to rank them as both a solid high mid-tier character and labeling them as the best of the three Mii Fighters.

Role in World of Light

Finding Mii Brawler in World of Light

Although Mii Brawler doesn't appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, he/she was vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (excluding Kirby) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

The default Mii Brawler was one of the many fighters that fell under Dharkon's control upon Galeem's first defeat. He can be found in the Sacred Land sub-area after completing an optional time puzzle on the Triforce of Wisdom, which is hinted by an Owl Statue located in the Triforce of Power's section left path, by setting the time to 4:40.

Defeating the Mii Brawler automatically adds the default Mii Brawler under the name "Mii" with a default 1111 moveset to the list of Mii Fighters for all modes where Mii Fighters are usable. This Mii cannot be restored if deleted.

Trivia

• The Brawler is the only type of Mii Fighter to have a non-special move named in one of its tips; namely, its up smash, which is called "Cartwheel Kick".
  • The name is somewhat misleading: an actual "cartwheel kick" is a maneuver used in Capoeira, while the Mii Brawler's up smash is actually a bicycle kick.
• The Brawler is also the only Mii Fighter to be unlocked in the Dark Realm.
  • It is also the only Mii Fighter to be unlocked in a sub-area.
• Mii Brawler is the only Mii Fighter that does not possess a reflector.
• The Mii Brawler is the only Mii Fighter to have a command grab.
• Mii Brawler’s pose in the panoramic artwork for Ultimate resembles its neutral aerial.
