Mii Fighter (Miiファイター, Mii Fighter) is a 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 Brawler, Swordfighter and Gunner are classified as fighters #51, #52, and #53 respectively.
The Mii Fighters, instead of being silent like in Smash 4, have twelve different voice options, each provided by a different voice actor: Ryotaro Okiayu, Hideo Ishikawa, Ayumi Fujimura, Minami Takayama, Takashi Ohara, Umeka Shoji, Michihiko Hagi, Kiyoyuki Yanada, Makiko Ōmoto, Yuji Kishi, and Kimiko Saito.
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. 12 voices are selectable, and there are also three pitch options for each voice.
- The Mii Fighters no longer show anger while taunting.
- The player can now customize the costume colors; it no longer depends on the Mii's favourite 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.
- Mii Fighters have more facial customisation, thanks to the Switch's expanded Mii Maker.
- 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.
Attributes
- Mii Fighters' height and weight can no longer be customized.
- Each type of Mii Fighter has a different preset weight value, with Mii Gunners being the heaviest and Mii Brawlers being the lightest.
Misc.
- On the character selection screen, all three classes of Mii Fighter are listed separately instead of sharing a slot. However, this isn't the case if the character selection screen is set to stacked mode.
- 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 remix of Ultimate's theme song, Lifelight.
- All three Mii Fighter types' versus portraits have their faces blocked out.
- Miis can now be used in online and local wireless play, where their custom names will not be displayed. Instead, "Mii BRAWLER", "Mii SWORDFIGHTER", or "Mii GUNNER" will be displayed as their name.
- The Mii Fighters are no longer playable in Classic Mode.

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 but at the end just before the Random option.
- The Mii Fighters are the only characters in Ultimate to have customizable moves.
- Defeating the Mii Fighters in World of Light automatically adds the default Mii under the name Mii with a default 1111 moveset to the list of Mii Fighters for all modes where Mii Fighters are usable.
