Miya (ミーヤー) is a Super Smash Bros. UltimateMr. Game & Watch player with a Steve secondary. He is considered to be the greatest Mr. Game & Watch player of all time, one of the greatest Ultimate players of all time, tying MkLeo with the most Ultimate major wins, and one of the greatest Japanese players of all time, becoming the best in the second half of 2024. His breakout tournament was winning Kagaribi 8, which made him the first and currently the only Mr. Game & Watch player to win a major. He was also ranked 1st on the 26th SP Smashmate season and is the first player to achieve a rating of over 2,600 on Smashmate.
Miya is a defensive Mr. Game & Watch player mainly known for his precision and consistency in his moves, and is one of the few Mr. Game & Watch players to make use of every single move in his kit. He excels at juggling his opponents with neutral and up aerials to keep them in disadvantage for a long time and quickly rack up their percent. Taking advantage of Mr. Game & Watch's floatiness, Miya fearlessly goes for deep edgeguards using back aerial offstage and is able to make it back thanks to up-b's high vertical distance coupled with the ability to airdodge out of it. In niche situations he uses down aerial and and up-b to intercept exploitable recoveries before using back aerial to finish the job. This gives Miya a threatening presence offstage as he fiercely edgeguards his opponents to the point of where they're unable to recover. Miya is also known for his use of Chef near the ledge, using it to anticipate a ledge option or rack up extra damage and sometimes take his opponent's stock using forward tilt. Unique to him is that he doesn't hesitate to use Judge, a move that Mr. Game & Watch players seldom use, to take an early stock should he get a 9. This has been successful in sets against players such as Hurt or Glutonny.
However, Miya tends to struggle when he is in a severe disadvantage, often spamming moves like Judge in desperation to get a 9. He can sometimes be predictable under certain situations due to him using same move patterns such as Chef at the edge of the stage and occasional airdodge after ledge hops. Miya often struggles against Sonic players due to some of Mr. Game & Watch's aerials not being effective enough at reacting to their speedy gameplays. Finally, Miya sometimes overextends in tense situations, leading to him getting counterattacked and losing a stock early due to Mr. Game & Watch's light weight.
While Miya had attended a few offline events in 2019 and 2020, he did not being seriously compwting offline until 2022, as he had mostly stayed to grinding online on Smashmate, notably ranking first in the 26th season. His second offline event in 2022, saw him defeat Asimo twice, but his real breakout event was Kagaribi 8, which saw him defeat ProtoBanham, Shuton, and Abdango twice to win his first ever major tournament with it being only the third major he had ever attended offline.
