The Meme Gunner (ミーム射撃タイプ, Meme Shooting 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 Meme Fighter types, Bruhler and Sad fighter. Meme Gunner is classified as Fighter #53.

Currently, the Meme Gunner is ranked 89th in the Z and Y tier PAL respectively (which stands for Zerouse, Y are you using this again?), as the absolute worst character in all of Ultimate's fighting history. Players have known that their projectiles hit as hard as a beach ball, they move even slower than a glacier, and can get sent to the blast zone as quickly as a Magikarp does. They are, without a shred of doubt, absolutely terrible in competitive play! The player sitting next to you can get up and drink their cup of tea before promptly sending Meme Gunner to the blast zone. Okay, fine, maybe neutral B can sort of being annoying once every thousand sets, but even a cretin can see this attack coming by a mile away. It has unquestionably the lowest range in the game, the absolute slowest attacks, and being utterly slow in the air and ground ensures Meme Gunner will never get themselves going, causing them to automatically lose games to even the lowest of Elite Smash players such as low GSP King Dedede scrubs on Ultimate’s superb online system.

Meme Gunner is so abysmal that it loses to every character in the game. Little Mac can stomp on them with his overwhelmingly fast and skull-crushing aerials, Brawl Ganondorf can turn it to minced meat with a single down tilt, and the mere sight (God forbid!) of another Mii Gunner will automatically cause Meme Gunner to flimsily fall in a frail fashion, floundering fabulously in a fractured state for five hundred years.

Unsurprisingly, Meme Gunner has the absolute worst matchups in the game, with -8 matchups against Pikachu, Palutena, and, worst of all, -3,000,000 matchups against players with basic competence. Its only matchups where it does well against is against players who don’t know what you’re doing, those being against smashers like GSPROOKIE, I M DUM, and STEW PID. This cements Mii Gunner a place as the best death fodder in the game, with even Brawl Zelda mains wondering how Mii Gunner does not try to trick poor smashers into thinking they could possibly win games.

Attributes

The Meme Gunner was supposed to be a tank, the strongest among Mii Fighters. However, Sakurai at launch made some "little" tweaks that were a bit too much if i were to say. The Gunner has access to 12 different special moves: Charge Blast, Laser Blaze, and Grenade Launch (Neutral Special), Flame Pillar, Stealth Burst, and Gunner Missile (Side Special), Lunar Launch, Cannon Jump Kick, and Arm Rocket (Up Special), and Echo Reflector, Bomb Drop, and Absorbing Vortex (Down Special). However, they all come out at absurdly slow rates, with Gunner Missle (being the fastest one) coming out on frame 513 while Cannon Jump comes out frame 999.

Although it has "diverse" specials, its hitboxes are so small and laggy that it fails to faze even fragile opponents like Goldeen. As the long range and projectile-heavy Meme Fighter, many of their specials excel at inviting approaches, wasting your time, edge-inviting, and other detriments from a distance. Charge Blast is a laughably weak option which is extremely inconsistent, sluggish, and underwhelming when fully charged. Gunner Missile is both good at inciting confused reactions, since ninety-eight times out of ten the hitbox just doesn't come out. The Super variant deals very unsuper amounts of damage, while the Homing variant can easily be reflected back and has glaring accuracy issues. Laser Blaze racks up unexciting amounts of damage while also giving opponents ample amounts of time to punish, making it a difficul to justify tool similar to Falco and Fox's Blaster. Finally, Flame Pillar and Bomb Drop are suboptimal tools for ledgetrapping and setting up kill confirms. A bomb drop at mid-high percentages can unreliably confirm into back aerial while an opponent is listening to Netflix in Flame Pillar. Accompanying the Meme Gunner's shallow collection of zoning specials is a very interesting and varying set of normals. While many of the Gunner's normals suffer from mild ending lag, they either possess low KO'ing power or miniscule range. Forward smash and up aerial are both among the shortest-ranged moves in the game (the latter which cannot KO Pichu at 999%), forward tilt and neutral air are overused tools to push pressuring opponents off of them, and forward aerial is a very narrow move, which only can edgeguard opponents that float right near <eme Gunner at ledge. Alongside the aforementioned moves are a slew of moves that have irrespectable KO'ing power such as jab and edge attack.

Lastly, the Meme Gunner has not many choices for recovery. With the exception of Cannon Jump Kick, most don't cover Meme Gunner's hurtboxes and gain very little distance. THere is a high possibility that upon using an up special, Gunner's cannons will explode and cause Mii Gunner to sustain damage, while also leaving it helpless.

Overall, the Meme Gunner is excellent if one want to throw away their matches and waste time. The ability to incite a laugh at the opponent will make one consider how could one possibly function with such low-powered and slow specials.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Like the other Mii Fighters, the Meme Gunner retains their general moveset, with many direct changes to how their special moves function. The changes to the Gunner's specials were not as drastic as those of the Mii Brawler (who gained four completely new special moves), but are rather alterations and improvements to the Gunner's moveset, much like the Mii Swordfighter. However, the Gunner's changes are simply humungous nerfs.

Like the other Mii Fighter types, the Mii Gunner now has set attributes, including high weight (the Gunner is now a heavyweight weighing as much as Captain Falcon, even surpassing the largest possible Mii Fighter in Smash 4), significantly increasing their survivability in general, especially since the Gunner's below average falling speed has been unaltered. This means Mii Gunner will be combo food towards ferocious threats like Eevee and Melee Bowser.

The Gunner's standard moveset has been nerfed in various ways. Their inconsistent jab and up aerial now connect worse by their slower animations, and some of the Gunner's moves have been given less utility due to an increase of lag (forward tilt), greatly decreased damage (forward smash), or KO potential (forward smash and the second hit of down smash, which now acts individually for each hit instead of leading into one another).

The universal frame 3 jumpsquat and reduction to landing lag benefit the Gunner as well, as they now have faster access to their powerful air game and are less vulnerable against shield. The Gunner's throws, previously notorious for all dealing 5%, have been buffed, with up throw now being the second most damaging in the game behind King K. Rool, and down throw being much more reliable for starting combos till mid percents.

The Gunner's special moves have been a mix of changes, though the majority of their specials have been significantly nerfed. Many of their projectiles (such as Charge Blast, super missiles from Gunner Missile, and Stealth Burst) do vastly decreased damage or knockback, fixing one of the Gunner's old problems of KO potential. Those that have not gained power buffs have instead been improved as utility projectiles, with Flame Pillar, Laser Blaze and Bomb Drop each having heavily downgraded abilities (multi-hit combo initiation, no damage falloff, and stage control, respectively). The Gunner's recovery moves have also been decreased, as Lunar Launch travels significantly slower, Cannon Jump Kick has distasteful out of shield KO power, and Arm Rocket's trajectory cannot be altered during travel.

However, the Meme Gunner has received notable nerfs. The Gunner's mobility changes are by far the most glaring weakness from their transition to Ultimate, as they now have to rely on spacing to compensate for their significantly lowered movement speed, which is amplified due to the cast receiving many movement buffs in general. The Gunner's powerful tilts have been slightly toned down, limiting their fastest grounded KO options, while forward aerial, previously a pinnacle of the Gunner's neutral game, had its distance reduced without compensation for landing lag, though this has since been marginally rectified in the 2.0 update.

All of the Gunner's specials have been nerfed, most notably with Grenade Launch and Gunner Missile; Grenade Lauch's lowered ending lag does not compensate for the utility it had in Smash 4 (since its startup was heavily increased and it can now only fire in one direction and trajectory), while homing missiles now sacrifice homing ability for speed, making them less effective. Finally, the Meme Gunner's combo potential is still limited despite the useless buffs they received, as their combo initiators act as "hit-and-run" spacing attacks with few followups (such as their tilt attacks and neutral aerial).

Overall, the Meme Gunner has been repurposed into a punching bag that falls on the first punch, who has to rely on their special moveset's zoning abilities to think about doing anything and encourage opponents to mercilessly laugh at them, similar to Goldeen. While a more effective fighter at being laughed at compared to their iteration in Smash 4, the Gunner's viability compared to the cast and, more significantly, their impact on the metagame, are still yet to be determined due to their nonexistent playerbase and results. Nevertheless, it has seen success, with players such as FREEDAMEES placing in the top 2048 of Scrubs Unite.

Aesthetics

  • Change Players can customize the Mii Gunner's voice clips from 12 different voices, with 3 different pitches.
  • Change Mii Gunners have had their body proportions adjusted.
  • Change While still based on the "Guest F" Mii, the default Mii Gunner has an altered appearance. She now has a smile on her face instead of a neutral expression, her eyebrows are angled downwards to give a confident appearance, her hair has been changed from a middle-parting style to one with a side-swept fringe, and her eyes are now brown instead of black.
  • Change The default Mii Gunner's color is now yellow instead of orange.
  • Change The default outfits for the Mii Gunner have significantly more detail, now being a bodysuit with a character-colored high collar jacket, grey inner shirt, gloves with white accents, and boots that appear less futuristic. The Gunner no longer wears an ammo backpack, and their arm cannon has a different appearance.
  • Change The Mii Gunner has a new idle animation involving them standing with their arms spread, with their cannon-less arm clenched in a fist.

Attributes

  • Buff Like all characters, the Mii Gunner's jumpsquat animation takes three frames to complete (down from 6).
  • Change As with all Mii Fighters, the Mii Gunner now has fixed attributes:
    • Buff The Mii Gunner now has a set weight of 104, on par with Captain Falcon, Link and Yoshi. This makes the Mii Gunner the heaviest Mii Fighter, and also heavier than the largest possible Mii Fighter in Smash 4. This improves their survivability.
    • Nerf The Mii Gunner walks slightly slower (1.05 → 1), and is now the 53rd fastest walker (compared to 37-38th fastest in Smash 4).
    • Buff The Mii Gunner dashes slightly faster (1.3 → 1.37).
      • Buff The Mii Gunner's initial dash is slightly faster (1.6 → 1.613), although it is now the third-slowest initial dash speed, only beating Olimar and Dr. Mario.
    • Nerf The Mii Gunner has significantly lower air acceleration (0.07 → 0.043), now being the 60th fastest instead of 22-31rd fastest.
    • Nerf The Mii Gunner has a lower air speed (1.05 → 0.93), giving them the 67th highest air speed in the game (compared to 25th in Smash 4).

Ground attacks

  • Neutral attack:
    • Change Neutral attack's hits are now a jab with the left hand, followed by a kick, then an explosion from their arm cannon for the final hit.
    • Buff The first hit can now be held for a consecutive jab, and is repeated much faster than the previous version.
    • Buff Neutral attack's explosive hits now have less of a pause, making it connect consistently even at high percents. The first two hits can now lock.
    • Change Neutral attack's final hit deals slightly more damage (4% → 4.5%). However, the first two hits deal less damage (2% → 1.7%), making its total damage the same.
  • Forward tilt:
    • Buff All hitboxes of forward tilt deal much more damage (9/7.5/6% (close/mid/far) → 13/10.5/8%).
    • Buff Forward tilt has less startup (frame 10 → 7) and ending lag (frame 39 → 33).
    • Change It has altered knockback on all hitboxes (30 (base)/100 (scaling) → 56/56), making it safe on hit at low percents, but weakening its KO potential.
  • Dash attack
    • Buff Dash attack deals more damage (10 → 11) with knockback scaling not fully compensated (70 → 65), dealing more knockback.
    • Buff Dash attack sends at a more horizontal angle (60 → 45) which combined with the above change enables it to KO at useful percentages.
    • Buff The inner hitboxes were moved closer towards Mii Gunner, which combined with the new Jostle mechanics removes its blindspot.
    • Buff It has an increased shieldstun multiplier (none → 1.5), making it safer on shield.
  • Forward smash:
    • Buff Forward smash deals significantly more total damage (9.8% → 18.3%) and much more knockback. Previously, it was one of the weakest forward smashes in the game in terms of damage and knockback.
    • Buff Forward smash is much harder to escape from.
  • Up smash:
    • Buff Up smash deals more total damage (16.5% → 17.5%).
  • Down smash:
    • Change The first hit of its down smash no longer drags opponents in behind the Mii Gunner, and both hits now act independently. This hinders the move's usability in situations it previously excelled in (such as by the ledge).
      • Buff However, due to the increased damage and knockback from each hit, the move is significantly more useful in general. Opponents can no longer DI out of the second hit as well.
    • Buff Both hits' damage have been increased, with the back hit dealing the same damage as the previous down smash's total (front hit: 4% → 11.5%, back hit: 10% → 14%).
    • Buff Down smash's second hit KOs significantly earlier due to its damage being the sum of the previous down smash's hits (KOs Mario from the edge of Final Destination at 94% → 66%).
    • Nerf Down smash has had its range slightly reduced on the first hit, though it still has high range.

Aerial attacks

  • Buff All aerials except forward aerial have reduced landing lag (Neutral: 18 → 11, Back: 18 → 11, Up: 22 → 13, Down: 28 → 17).
  • Neutral aerial:
    • Buff Due to Neutral aerial's reduced landing lag, it can now lead into followups upon landing.
    • Buff Neutral aerial does more damage (6% → 10%).
    • Change Neutral aerial has altered knockback (45 base/80 scaling → 65/40).
  • Forward aerial:
    • Buff Forward aerial does more damage (6/4% (close/far) → 8/6%).
    • Nerf Forward aerial starts later (frame 10 → 12).
    • Nerf Forward aerial has significantly decreased range, now only traveling a fourth of Final Destination. This is done through less active frames (10-21 → 12-20). This makes it worse for spacing.
  • Back aerial:
    • Buff Back aerial now has a late hit that deals 11%, extending the move's duration slightly (9-10 → 9-10/11).
    • Buff Back aerial's clean hit deals more damage (12% → 13%).
    • Buff Back aerial's clean hit deals more knockback (30 base/88 scaling → 29/96), which, combined with its increased damage, improves its KO potential.
  • Up aerial:
    • Change Up aerial has a new animation. The Gunner now "stands" upright while performing the move, rather than laying on their back.
    • Change The move's duration has been shortened, and the final hitbox ends earlier (frame 39 → 34, total frames: 61 → 59). This now allows the move to complete in a short hop, but makes it less effective at trapping air dodges.
      • Change Up aerial now hits 7 times instead of 9 due to its shorter length.
    • Buff Up aerial deals more damage total due to the multi-hits dealing more damage (multi-hits: 1% → 1.7%, total damage: 13% → 14.8%).
    • Buff Up aerial's looping hits can now combo into other moves when landing due to its reduced landing lag.
    • Buff Up aerial's final hit deals more knockback (40 base/170 scaling → 50/175) improving its KO potential.
  • Down aerial:
    • Buff Down aerial has a longer duration with a late hit as well (20 → 20-21/22-25), no longer lasting a single frame.

Throws and other attacks

  • Change The Mii Gunner's pummel is now a knee strike, rather than an arm cannon bash.
  • Change Pummel is much faster, but weaker (2% → 1.2%).
  • Nerf The Mii Gunner's grabs all have higher ending lag (standing: frame 28 → 34, dash: 39 → 42, pivot: 34 → 37).
  • Nerf Dash grab and pivot grab start slower (dash: frame 8 → 9, pivot: 9 → 10).
  • Buff All of the Mii Gunner's throws have been buffed, each dealing much more damage, whereas previously each only did 5%.
  • Forward throw:
    • Buff Forward throw's first hit deals more damage (2% → 4%, total: 5% → 7%).
  • Back throw:
    • Buff Back throw's first hit deals much more damage (2% → 7%, total: 5% → 10%).
    • Buff The first hit now deals set knockback, allowing it to reliably connect into the second hit.
    • Change The laser is fired at a slightly lower angle (35° → 34°).
  • Up throw:
    • Buff Up throw's first hit deals much more damage (2% → 7%). The Gunner now fires two lasers instead of one, and the total damage is significantly higher (total: 5% → 13%), making up throw among the most damaging throws in the game. The second shot deals no knockback however, and so does not improve the throw's KO potential and only increases the target's damage.
    • Change Up throw's first hit now deals set knockback, improving the throw's consistency but hindering its KO potential.
    • Buff Up throw has lower ending lag (frame 59 → 51). However, it is still too slow to follow up with.
  • Down throw:
    • Buff Down throw deals more damage (5% → 7%), with knockback scaling partly compensated (50 → 42).
    • Buff Down throw launches at a higher angle (100 → 95), improving its followup potential and making it less susceptible to DI.
    • Buff Down throw has less ending lag (frame 42 → 40).
    • Nerf Down throw no longer inflicts hitlag on release, reducing its combo potential despite its slightly reduced ending lag.
  • Buff Edge attack deals more damage (7% → 9%).

Special moves

Neutral specials

  • Charge Blast:
    • Change The Mii Gunner no longer spins around before charging or firing a Charge Blast.
    • Buff Charge Blast can be charged and canceled with other actions while in mid-air.
    • Buff It deals more damage (3.15%-22% → 4%-26%) with knockback compensated.
    • Buff It charges faster (144 frames → 132).
    • Buff The minimum speed of the projectile is faster (1.6 → 1.8).
  • Laser Blaze:
    • Buff Like Falco's lasers, Laser Blaze makes opponents flinch and can lock.
    • Buff It deals more and consistent damage (3%-4% → 5%).
    • Buff It has less startup (frame 12 → 10) and ending lag (FAF 48 → 42).
    • Buff Lasers last longer (22 frames → 24).
      • Nerf However, they are slower (7 → 6), reducing their range overall.
    • Nerf Consecutive shots take longer (frame 17 → 22).
  • Grenade Launch:
    • Change The Mii Gunner's arm cannon glows with a orange-tinted "fuse" while preparing a grenade.
    • Buff Grenade Launch deals much more damage (0.5% → 1.3% (hits 1-5), 6% → 6.5% (hit 6); total: 8.5% → 12.2%) with knockback not compensated.
    • Buff It has less ending lag (FAF 56 → 53).
    • Change It can no longer be charged and launches a fixed distance. It travels further than an uncharged Smash 4 Grenade Launch, but less than a fully-charged one.
    • Nerf It has significantly more startup lag (frame 18 → 35). Coupled with its fixed trajectory, this vastly reduces its flexibility for limiting approaches.
    • Nerf Mii Gunner cannot turn around while charging it.

Side specials

  • Flame Pillar:
    • Buff Flame Pillar hits multiple times with a stronger final hit, similar to Robin's Arcfire, making it better for pressuring shields and allowing it to set up for follow-ups, instead of only acting as a spacing tool.
    • Buff It deals more total damage (4% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2) → 2% (hit 1), 2.2% (hits 2-5), 2.7% (hit 6); total: 10% → 13.5%).
    • Buff It no longer cancels if the Mii Gunner lands before the projectile can fire.
    • Nerf It has slightly more ending lag (FAF 59 → 63).
  • Stealth Burst:
    • Change The Mii Gunner no longer spins around before firing a Stealth Burst.
    • Buff It travels faster and further (Initial speed: 0.7 → 1.3, acceleration: 0.04 → 0.09).
    • Buff It no longer leaves Mii Gunner helpless.
    • Buff It deals much more damage (10.8%-15.4% → 12.1%-18%) without compensation on knockback.
    • Buff Its earliest explosion has less startup lag (frames 42-75 → 36-66).
    • Buff It explodes faster after release (8 frames → 3 frames).
    • Nerf It no longer turns invisible after some travel distance.
  • Gunner Missile:
    • Change Both types of missiles have been redesigned: homing missiles are now metallic grey with short neon blue lines along the top of its body (instead of silver with a green top), and super missiles are now fatter with a futuristic rocket design and a neon blue head (instead of silver with neon blue markings going down the missile).
    • Buff Both missiles deal more damage (homing: 4.5% → 7.5%, super: 10% → 14.5%).
    • Buff It has less startup (frame 29 → 27) and ending lag (FAF 62 → 46).
    • Buff Super Missiles deal significantly more knockback, being able to KO at realistic percentages.
    • Nerf The regular missiles from Gunner Missile travel faster (1.0 → 1.2), but their homing ability have been reduced. This significantly hinders their effectiveness.
    • Nerf Homing missiles have a shorter duration (104 frames → 96).

Up specials

  • Lunar Launch:
    • Change Lunar Launch launches opponents opposite to where the Mii Gunner is facing. This allows it to stage spike, but makes it more difficult to edgeguard conventionally.
    • Buff It deals much more knockback, causing it to KO around 45% earlier.
    • Buff It grants much more vertical distance, making it better for recovering.
    • Nerf It has one more frame of landing lag (frame 18 → 19).
  • Cannon Jump Kick:
    • Change Cannon Uppercut has been reworked into Cannon Jump Kick, which still features a launch with the Mii Gunner's arm cannon, but uses a kick instead of a punch to deal damage while firing upwards.
    • Buff It has significantly less startup lag (hits 1/2: frame 11/15 → 6/10), making it much more effective as an out of shield option.
    • Buff It grants intangibility on frames 5-7 when grounded.
    • Buff Its late second hitbox has been significantly shortened in duration, allowing the stronger clean hit to out-prioritize it more often.
    • Buff It travels slightly more vertical distance.
    • Nerf It has less horizontal recovery range than Cannon Uppercut.
  • Arm Rocket:
    • Buff Arm Rocket can be angled during the flight, similar to Diddy Kong's Rocketbarrel Boost.
    • Buff It has significantly less landing lag (34 frames → 14).

Down specials

  • Echo Reflector:
    • Change Echo Reflector has been redesigned. The Mii Gunner now plants their arm cannon downwards into the ground to generate a transparent green barrier with two yellow hexagons rotating around it. This does not change the effects of the move. The Mii Gunner can still turn around during the move, but this is aesthetic.
    • Buff It has less ending lag (FAF 40 → 38).
    • Nerf It stalls Mii Gunner once before landing, with subsequent uses of the move forcing them to fall down.
  • Bomb Drop:
    • Change Bomb Drop's bombs are more detailed, having a slight octagonal exterior made of metal and a glowing blue interior, instead of being a simple circular shape with four metal outer reinforcements.
    • Buff It can be triggered manually by using the move again; this detonates the bomb currently in play and drops another. This allows a bomb to act as a deterrent while launching a second bomb.
    • Buff Its bombs have a much longer fuse (72 frames → 134) and are lighter, bouncing more when hitting the stage. These changes make them much better for stage control.
    • Buff It has significantly less ending lag (FAF 63 → 53).
    • Nerf Its bombs can be knocked away by attacks, making it harm Mii Gunner instead.
  • Absorbing Vortex:
    • Change The vortex appears less realistic, looking less like an electric swirl of plasma and more like a cartoony bubble. The Gunner no longer sways their cannon around to generate the vortex, and simply points it up as the cannon glistens.
    • Buff Much like Ness' PSI Magnet, Absorbing Vortex has a weak hitbox upon startup, allowing for safer use of the move in general.
      • Buff The hitbox is also produced upon absorbing projectiles.
    • Buff Its healing multiplier is higher (1.2x → 1.4x).
    • Buff It has less ending lag (FAF 29 → 27).

Final Smash

  • Change Full Blast's main laser now is green in color and the background turns blue during the Final Smash.
  • Buff It deals more damage (1.5% (loop), 4% (last) → 1.8%/5%)
  • Nerf The final hit deals less knockback (65 base/180 scaling → 55/155), dealing slightly less knockback overall despite the aforementioned damage increase.

Update history

Mii Gunner has received a mixture of buffs and nerfs in balance patches, but was overall nerfed. While their forward aerial auto-cancels earlier and their up smash connects more reliably, the nerfs to the shield damage of various projectiles in update 3.0.0 affect Mii Gunner more negatively than most other characters.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 1.2.0

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 2.0.0

  • Bug fix Fixed a rare glitch where the Mii Gunner that used Full Blast to last stock KO an opponent off stage in stamina matches would unintentionally freeze the opponent vertical movement and animation.
  • Buff Forward aerial autocancels earlier (frame 49 → 43).

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 3.0.0

  • Nerf Charge Blast deals less shield damage (0 → -2/-6.5 (uncharged/fully charged)).
  • Nerf Grenade Launch deals less shield damage (0 → -0.7/-3.3 (hits 1-4/5)).
  • Nerf Flame Pillar deals less shield damage (0 → -1/-1.1/-1.4 (hits 1/2-5/6)).
  • Nerf Gunner Missile deals less shield damage (-1/-4.5 (Homing/Super) → -4.3/-9.5).
  • Nerf Bomb Drop deals less shield damage (6 → 1/-0.5 (hit 1/2)).

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 3.1.0

  • Buff Up smash's hits connect more reliably.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 4.0.0

  • Buff Up smash's hits have adjusted angles and position vectors, allowing them to connect more reliably.
  • Bug fix Certain hitboxes of up smash no longer use set weight, fixing a glitch that caused their position vector to last much longer than usual and launch opponents much farther if the move was interrupted.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 10.1.0

  • Buff Up throw has received various adjustments that allow the move to connect more reliably:
    • Change The throw sends at a marginally altered angle (90° → 91°) and deals marginally increased knockback (75 base/53 scaling → 76/54).
    • Buff The two shots have a larger hitbox (4.0u → 5.6u), allowing them to connect easier from the throw itself.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 11.0.0

  • Buff Forward smash has more range towards Mii Gunner, removing a blind spot in the move.
  • Change Changed the length of vulnerability when crumpling to be consistent with other fighters.

Moveset

For a gallery of Mii Gunner's hitboxes, see here.

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

  Name Damage Description
Neutral attack   1.7% A jab with their left hand, followed by a spin kick, and an explosion from their arm cannon. Holding the attack button will have the Gunner repeat the jab. The first two hits can lock floored opponents. The third hit consists of two hits, one from the cannon and one from the explosion; both hits easily lead into each other, unlike the version in Smash 4. Sets up tech situations at low percents.
1.7%
1% (cannon), 4.5% (explosion)
Forward tilt   13%(close), 10.5% (middle), 8% (far) Fires a short range energy burst. The burst deals more damage up close. The Mii Gunner's fastest ground move, and is much faster in comparison to the version in Smash 4. However, it is also weak, as it KOs Mario on the edge of Final Destination at around 143%. As such, it is more effective as a spacing or "get-off-me" option.
Up tilt   10% (clean), 8% (late) Uppercuts with their arm cannon, releasing a discharge of flames. A damaging move with very fast startup (frame 5) but very high ending lag, giving it no true followups. Its vertical range covers space right above the Mii Gunner's head and half a character length beside them, making it an effective anti-air attack. The clean hit KOs Mario on Final Destination at 139%.
Down tilt   14% Fires a burst of flame onto the ground in front of themself, similarly to Samus's down tilt. Like up tilt, it is fast for its damage (frame 8) and is the Gunner's most damaging tilt, but has such high ending lag that it has no true followups. As a result, it is mostly used to punish grounded openings, in comparison to the anti-air strengths of up tilt. Despite its higher damage, it KOs slightly later than up tilt, doing so only at 141%.
Dash attack   11% Performs a swinging punch with the arm cannon, blasting the enemy with flames. Grants a lot of forward momentum overall, allowing it to punish distant foes and cross up shields up close. Starts on frame 10 and has good knockback, KOing Mario from the edge of Final Destination at 115%, but it has punishable ending lag.
Forward smash   1.7% (hits 1 - 6), 7.5% (hit 7) Unleashes a series of energy bursts in quick succession, followed by a stronger burst. Hits opponents 7 times and has tremendous range, being one of the longest forward smashes in the game. Coupled with its very long hitbox duration, it is overall difficult to challenge, pressures shields well, and is useful for edgeguarding. It is safe on shield at max distance due to its decently low ending lag. For its strengths, it also has reliable KO potential, KOing at center-stage from 122%. However, it is the Gunner's slowest smash attack (frame 17).
Up smash   3% (hit 1), 2.5% (hits 2 - 4), 7% (hit 5) Releases five bursts of fire in an arc above their head, similarly to Samus's up smash. Starts on frame 11 and deals good damage. Due to the Gunner's height, it is more consistent with hitting grounded opponents compared to Samus's up smash. Like in Smash 4, opponents may fall out of the looping hits if they are at an extremely high percent, are hit by the sides of the explosion's hitboxes, or while they are standing on a platform above the Gunner. KOs Mario on Final Destination at 122%.
Down smash   11.5% (front), 14% (behind) Fires two bursts of flame onto the ground, first in front then behind of themself. Each flame burst launches opponents away, though the second one has significantly more knockback than the first. The first hit starts on frame 9, making it the Gunner's fastest smash attack. Both hits have deceptively high range, especially the second hit. The second hit uses the combined damage of the Gunner's previous down smash, which connected into each other; as a result, it has very high KO power, KOing Mario from the edge of Final Destination at 66%.
Neutral aerial   10% Sweeps their arm cannon downward in an arc around themself similar to Ike’s. It is the Gunner's fastest aerial (frame 8), and has a high amount of active frames alongside good coverage. At low percents (especially against super heavyweight characters), a neutral aerial on grounded opponents can lead to a neutral combo, forward tilt, dash attack, forward smash, and up smash. However, its high base knockback makes followups almost impossible at mid-percents unless it is a projectile. As a result, it is mostly an aerial "get-off-me" option, and is useful for landing since it has 11 frames of landing lag.
Forward aerial   8% (close), 6% (far) Fires a single weak energy shot projectile; the force of the shot pushes the Mii Gunner backward. The recoil of the forward aerial can be used by the Mii Gunner to do a gundash to aid in recovery or for evasion (tilting the stick backwards while shifting back from recoil allows Mii Gunner to effectively keep distance from opponents more than air dodging). Though its range was shortened from Smash 4 (it now travels 1/4 of Final Destination instead of 1/3), it has reduced ending lag, which makes it better for performing combos. If used while close to the ground (the energy projectile hitting the opponent just before the Gunner lands), the Gunner will be able to act almost immediately upon landing.
Back aerial   13% (early), 11% (late) Releases a burst of flames from the arm cannon behind themself. The Gunner's most reliable aerial finisher, able to KO middleweights from centerstage at around 130%. It is also the Gunner's second fastest aerial (frame 9), though it will miss short characters if performed out of a short hop.
Up aerial   1.7% (hits 1 - 6), 4% (hit 7) Unleashes a series of energy bursts upwards in quick succession, followed by a stronger burst. Acts like the Gunner's forward smash aimed vertically upwards, and its vertical reach is so high it can shark through certain stages.[1] Unlike in Smash 4, it now deals less hits but more damage, and can complete in a short hop, making it less awkward to use. However, the attack still cuts off abruptly if the Gunner lands before the final shot is used. A good juggling tool and KO move if the final hit connects at height, and can limit the aerial options of opponents or force them to air dodge. Up aerial's looping hits can also combo into other moves when landing, such as into up tilt as a KO combo.
Down aerial   10% (cannon), 15% (burst), 12% (late) The Gunner pauses, then fires a single burst of flame below themself. The burst itself deals more damage and is a very strong, aerial-only meteor smash. However, the meteor hitbox only lasts for two frames, with the rest of the hitbox being a weaker non-meteor smash. As a result, it is difficult to land, made even more difficult by its frame 20 startup. As such, it is usually outclassed for edgeguarding by neutral and back aerial.
Grab   The Gunner reaches in front of themself with their left hand.
Pummel   1.2% A knee strike.
Forward throw   4% (punch), 3% (throw) Punches the enemy away with the arm cannon.
Back throw   7% (throw), 3% (energy pellet) Tosses the opponent behind themself, then fires a single energy pellet at the foe. It can KO at extremely high percentages, but the laser can be avoided with DI.
Up throw   7% (throw), 3% (both energy pellets) Tosses the enemy above themselves, then fires 2 energy pellets at the foe. The Gunner's most damaging throw, dealing 13%, making it among the most damaging throws in the game. It is thus useful for racking up damage and refreshing the staleness of the Gunner's other moves, and starting juggles.
Down throw   7% Slams the enemy onto the ground, launching them upward. Can start combos into aerials till mid percents, though it quickly loses effectiveness. Unlike in SSB4, down throw is no longer completely identical in function to Marth's equivalent move.

Neutral special Default Charge Blast 4% (uncharged), 26% (fully charged) Charges and fires a large energy sphere. The Mii Gunner can charge the blast in midair, and charge cancel by jumping or using an air dodge. Pressing any attack button while charging will fire the sphere. It is the Gunner's strongest projectile special move, with a fully-charged shot being capable of KOing from center-stage at 105%. Uncharged versions can lock floored opponents.
Custom 1 Laser Blaze 5% Fires spammable green energy pellets that cause flinching. Similar to Falco's Blaster, but fires at a slightly slower rate while inflicting slightly more damage. It does not lose strength while traveling, making it a useful damage racker. The lasers can also lock floored opponents.
Custom 2 Grenade Launch 1.3% (hits 1 -5), 6.5% (hit 6) After a pause, the Mii Gunner fires a grenade from their arm cannon. The grenade travels in an arc and will weakly bounce once on the ground, traveling almost half the distance of Final Destination. The grenade will explode around one second after launch, or detonate on impact with enemies, dealing multiple hits with a final launching hit. The grenade does a lot of damage if it all hits connect (12.2%) and can KO at around 138%. The Mii Gunner can maneuver in the air while preparing to fire the grenade. It is overall a useful move for covering and limiting movement options, or edgeguarding recovering opponents; coupled with its low ending lag, it can start low percent combos or constantly deter approaches.
Side special Default Flame Pillar 2% (hit 1), 2.2% (hits 2 - 5), 2.7% (hit 6) Fires an energy shot diagonally down that erupts into a pillar of flame that lingers for a few moments. The pillar, similar to Robin's Arcfire, hits multiple times, with the last hit launching opponents away. If used in midair, the projectile's angle is more diagonal and travels further. The pillar will slowly drift downwards if it hits an aerial opponent, allowing it to function as an edgeguard if it hits an enemy near a ledge. It is otherwise a useful deterring tool, and can start combos from careless approaches. Can confirm into a charge blast, reliably KOing opponents at 80 percent on the ledge.
Custom 1 Stealth Burst 12.1 - 18% Fires a small shining energy shot that detonates when the button is released, similarly to Zelda's Din's Fire but only traveling straight. As the name suggests, Stealth Burst is very hard to telegraph due to how small its particle effect is, making it useful for mindgames and edgeguarding. Holding the button gives the shot more distance and power before detonating. Using it in the air will slow the Gunner's fall speed momentarily. All charge levels have KO potential, with no-charge/fully-charged Stealth Bursts KOing at around 133%/110%. However, its hitbox is rather small, especially if uncharged.
Custom 2 Gunner Missile 7.5% (homing missile), 14.5% (super missile) Functions like Samus's Missile: holding the button will fire a homing missile, and inputting like a smash attack fires a super missile. Each missile travels a different distance, with the homing variant traveling more than half of Final Destination, and the super variant traveling almost the stage's full length. The homing missiles have decent homing capabilities, while the super missiles speed up after an initial pause and have good KO potential, able to KO Mario at the edge of Final Destination from 120%. The super missile can combo into Charge Blast if both are fired one after another against an opponent at medium distance. Homing missles can lock floored opponents.
Up special Default Lunar Launch 7% The Gunner fires a flaming projectile beneath themself, launching into the air from the recoil. Grants excellent vertical height but passable horizontal momentum. The projectile itself explodes on contact with solid ground and other opponents, and launches foes in the opposite direction from where the Gunner is facing. The projectile is able to KO at the edge of Final Destination from 130%.
Custom 1 Cannon Jump Kick 9% (concussive blast), 8% (kick), 6% (late) Fires a concussive blast, then propels themselves with the arm cannon while kicking into the air. A sweetspotted concussive blast can meteor smash midair opponents. The kick itself is extremely powerful and the clean hit lasts for most of the move; coupled with it starting on frame 6 and granting intangibility on the same frame, it is an excellent out of shield option. KOs as early as 115% onstage. However, it is extremely ineffective for recovery, as it covers the lowest vertical distance out of all the Mii Gunner's up specials.
Custom 2 Arm Rocket 0% Propels themself with a stream of flames from their arm cannon. By holding the Control Stick in a direction, the Mii Gunner can travel more horizontally. During flight, tilting left or right will adjust the Mii's flight angle. Overall, the move acts like an unchargeable version of Rocketbarrel Boost but without any damaging hitboxes, and grants the most distance and maneuverability out of all the Gunner's up specials.
Down special Default Echo Reflector 2% (activation), 1.5× damage (reflected projectiles) Activates an energy shield composed of two yellow hexagons that rotate around the Mii Gunner. Reflects projectiles at 1.5x their original strength. Despite its appearance, projectiles from above will also be reflected. It is similar to Fox's Reflector, however the hitbox at the beginning deals less knockback, and it does not provide brief intangibility, but in return the reflected projectiles deal an extra 0.1x damage.
Custom 1 Bomb Drop 2% (bomb), 9% (explosion) Drops a small bomb that bounces off the ground and explodes either upon contact with an enemy, or after a set time (134 frames, or roughly 1.6 seconds). Inputting the move again causes the bomb to automatically detonate while dropping another bomb, making it difficult for opponents to approach the Gunner. It is overall a useful stage control move, as it can block opposing projectiles, trap opponents at ledges, and can even KO at around 170%. However, opponents can knock the bomb away with their own attacks, and the bomb will harm the Mii Gunner while it is knocked around.
Custom 2 Absorbing Vortex 4% Covers themself with a glowing energy shield that absorbs energy projectiles and converts its damage to healing, similarly to Ness's PSI Magnet. However, unlike Ness, Absorbing Vortex does not have multiple hits, instead only having a single hit upon start-up (7 frames). Heals 1.4x the damage the Gunner would have taken. Upon activation, as well as when absorbing projectiles, any nearby opponents will take slight damage. This hitbox is capable of locking. However, the minimal histun of this move invalidates the combo potential. Additionally, Absorbing Vortex reduces falling speed, allowing Gunner to stall in mid air, allowing it to be used as a potential landing mixup.
Final Smash Full Blast 1.2% (mini laser loop), 1.7% (big laser loop), 3% (big & mini laser loop), 10% (final hit) The Gunner shoots a strong laser, with two small laser cannons firing smaller lasers that circle the main laser. Can be angled during the move. The middle of the laser does slightly more damage than the beginning. The Final Smash also does more damage if angled (as the opponent will be hit by both the big and small lasers).

Tier placement and history

With low longevity, laughable offensive prescence, it's not surprising to see how Meme Gunner is completely unviable since the beginning of the competitive scene. "This has a gimmick, I swear!" GSPROOKIE had told on Twitter after losing a match to FREEDAMEES on Elite Smash. When the latter tried facing scrubs outside of that noob, he subsequently ended up losing every other game he played. After one week and a bottle of Coke, FREEDAMEES announced on Twitter his switching to mains, which rendered the character's metagame to be highly stagnant. Since then, other players have been unable to reach his success, with players recognizing how poor Meme Gunner's matchups were, especially against Pikachu with scrubby pancaking stuff. Pikachu could chain grab Gunner at any percent with down throw until 999%, finishing with Thunder. Even Little Mac could use up throw to multiple up aerials, which would send Gunner to the blast zone within thirty seconds. This made it hapless against most of the cast, meaning it was great at granting free wins towards opponents and being a kind way to gift them happiness if they're down in the dumps.

Role in World of Light

Finding Meme Gunner in World of Light

Although the Meme Gunner is absent from the World of Light opening cutscene, they were vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (except for Kirby) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

In the mode itself, the default Meme Gunner can be found on the island that leads to the Forest Hill.

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

Trivia

  • From September 1st to September 7th, 2019, Google search results for the Mii Gunner had risen to an all-time high, presumably because of the September 2019 Nintendo Direct and the accompanying announcement of the Sans costume for the Mii Gunner.[2]
  • Out of all the Mii Fighters' special moves, Arm Rocket is the only one that does not deal damage.
  • Despite no longer wearing the ammo backpacks, the Palutena's Guidance conversation about Mii Gunner still referenced them prior to patch 1.2.0.
  • Mii Gunner is one of five characters whose unlocking battle in World of Light is not on either Final Destination or an Ω form. The other four are Peach, Daisy, Toon Link, and King K. Rool.
  • The Mii Gunner is the only Mii that does not possess a counterattack, instead having a reflector.
  • The Mii Gunner's pose on the panoramic artwork resembles them charging up the projectile that comes out of their forward aerial.
  • In World of Light, Mii Gunner is one of the few fighters who is not affiliated with Dharkon in any way, as all of their encounters as themselves or as a puppet fighter are all associated with Galeem. Toon Link, Ness, Roy, Olimar, Wii Fit Trainer, Little Mac, Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Pokémon Trainer all share this distinction as well.
