Universe	Super Smash Bros.
Availability	Starter

“	Gunners are armed with mysterious arm-cannons. They have lots of different projectiles that can be fired from long range.	”
—Masahiro Sakurai, Nintendo Digital Event (E3 2014)

Mii Gunners (射撃タイプ, Shooting Type) are one of the three different types of Mii Fighters that appear in Super Smash Bros. 4, along with Mii Brawlers and Mii Swordfighters.

Moveset

Of the three types of Mii Fighters, Gunners are the slowest runners, and their jump height is between that of the Swordfighter and that of the Brawler. Their attacks are equally as fast as the Brawler's and equally as strong as the Swordfighter's, though they trump both of the other types in terms of range.

All damage listed in this table assumes a default Mii of perfectly average height and weight.

Down tilt			14%	Fires a burst of flame onto the ground in front of himself/herself, similarly to Samus's down tilt. Has strong knockback.
Dash attack			10%	Performs a swinging punch with the arm cannon, blasting the enemy with flames.
Forward smash			9.8%	Rapid fires a series of energy blasts then a single strong burst. Longest range of any forward smash, but its knockback is somewhat lacking.
Up smash			16.5% if all hits connect	Releases bursts of fire in an arc above his/her head, similarly to Samus's up smash.
Down smash			4% (hit 1), 10% (hit 2)	Fires two bursts of flame onto the ground, first in front then behind of himself/herself. Enemies that take the first hit are dragged into the second hit, similarly to Ganondorf's down smash.

	Custom 1	Laser Blaze	2.6-3.6% depending on the distance the projectiles travel	Fires spammable green energy pellets that only deal damage and slightly push enemies back; similar to Fox's Blaster but fires at a slower rate.
	Custom 2	Grenade Launch	8% if all hits connect	Fires a grenade in an arc that will bounce along the ground a short distance and explode after a very short time after launch. The grenade will also detonate on impact with enemies, and charging this special will increase the distance the grenade is launched.

	Custom 1	Stealth Burst	10.8-15.4%	Fires a small shining energy shot that detonates when the button is released, similarly to Zelda's Din's Fire. Holding the button gives the shot more distance and power before detonating.

	Custom 2	Arm Rocket	0%	Fires a small flame burst, then propels himself/herself with a stream of flames from the arm cannon. By holding the Control Stick in a direction, the Mii Gunner can travel more horizontally. Similar to Pit's and Dark Pit's Power of Flight.
Down special	Default	Echo Reflector	2% (activation), 1.4x damage (reflected projectiles)	Activates an octagonal shield that reflects projectiles. Functions like Fox's Reflector.
	Custom 1	Bomb Drop	2% (bomb), 9% (explosion)	Drops a small bomb that rolls along the ground and explodes upon contact with an enemy. Functions like Samus's Bomb.
	Custom 2	Absorbing Vortex		Covers himself/herself with a glowing energy shield that absorbs energy projectiles and converts that damage to healing, similarly to Ness's PSI Magnet. Heals 1.2 times the damage he/she would have taken.
Final Smash		Full Blast	46%	The Mii Gunner shoots a strong laser, with two small laser cannons firing smaller lasers. Can be angled. Similar to Samus's Final Smash, Zero Laser.

Mii Gunner

NA: A Mii sporting a blaster arm, this fighter is a great choice for those who prefer to fight the battle from a distance. The Mii Gunner has a lot of special projectile moves available, so pick your favorites and use them when needed. Don't forget about standard and smash attacks!

PAL: A fighter based on your Mii! Gunners are all about the guns, of course. No matter how you set up your specials, you'll end up with a powerful arsenal. And it's not just their special moves that have excellent range - they have standard and smash attacks that can really go the distance too. Use them to dominate the battle from afar.

Mii Gunner (Alt.)

NA: One of the Mii Gunner's side specials is Stealth Burst. The missile blends in, making it tough to see. Plus, you can control when it explodes, so it's handy for surprise attacks! You could also use Absorbing Vortex to absorb damage done to you by energy weapons. This is one fighter with a lot of tricks up its sleeve!

Trivia

• The design of the Mii Gunner used in promotional material and in-game renders is based on a slightly edited version of Guest F, one of the pre-loaded Miis available for use in games that feature Mii support. In this case, her hair uses a different design and color from the preloaded version, along with a smaller mouth and a different favorite color (orange instead of pink). She is also based on the default female Mii in Mii Maker, though again, with a different hairstyle.
• At the Nintendo Digital Event at E3 2014, Sakurai refers to the Mii Gunner's arm-cannon as "mysterious", but in the Palutena's Guidance conversation dedicated to the Gunner, the "mystery" is solved as the cannons are stated to be controlled via motion-controlled triggers.
  • Also according to that conversation, the backpack that Gunners wear holds all their ammo, but nothing on their models connect the packs to their cannons. Also, some outfits don't have a backpack or other method of storage with them at all.
