TheMii Swordfighter (Mii剣術タイプ,Mii Fencing Type) is a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. They were confirmed as a playable character on June 12th, 2018, along with the otherMii Fighter types,Brawler andGunner. Mii Swordfighter is classified asFighter #52.

As with the other Mii Fighters, they have 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.

The Mii Swordfighter is currently ranked 72nd out of 82 on theUltimatetier list, placing them at the top of the D tier and making the Mii Swordfighter the lowest-ranking Mii Fighter in the game. This is a slight improvement over theirSuper Smash Bros. 4 iteration, which was 56th out of 57 on that game's third tier list before ultimately going unranked on the fourth. The Mii Swordfighter has the most balanced attributes out of the Miis, and access to a great set of custom moves; most of them have excellent synergy with each other, especially his projectilesGale Strike,Chakram andShuriken of Light, which reliably combo into other specials such asHero's Spin andPower Thrust. He is also one of the few weapon-using fighters with access to both a reflector (Reversal Slash) and a counterattack (Blade Counter), allowing for strategies against zoners and careless attackers. Finally, his recovery is strong, due to his good air speed and multitude of long-distance recovery options.

Despite his strengths, the Mii Swordfighter has some significant flaws. He has one of the shortest disjoints out of any swordfighter, yet possesses the same below-average frame data problems as his archetype, with most of his attacks (including all of his aerials) coming out after frame 10. This affects the safety and consistency of both his combo game and KO combos, and makes him struggle in disadvantage due to his lack of combo breakers. He also has arguably one of the worst sets of throws in the game, with all throws possessing low damage and almost no utility (with the exception of down throw, which is only notably useful for combos that include an aerial Hero's Spin). Combined, this gives a relative imbalance between the Swordfighter's normal and special movesets, which makes him quite reliant on his special attacks to find openings to compensate.

Competitive opinions for the Mii Swordfighter were highly optimistic during the early days ofUltimate due to their improved kit compared toSmash 4, to the point they were considered the best of the Mii Fighters. However, their flaws became apparent as the metagame evolved; along with a lack of representation and few notable buffs in balance patches, this has caused opinions to turn for the worse, to the point where they currently have one of the lowest playerbases of the cast (and the lowest out of the Mii Fighters), and have not made dramatic impacts on the competitive metagame.

Attributes[edit]

The Mii Swordfighter has had their physical attributes reworked to all be relatively average. No longer determinant on the weight given to whatever Mii they're based on, the Mii Swordfighter is now an average-height,mediumweight fighter, weighing the same asCloud. Their walk and running speed are fairly average, however they have a relatively high air speed and bear the distinction of being the only Mii Fighter who cannot wall jump. Being a Mii Fighter, the Mii Swordfighter's special moves are determinant on the player's choice, as each special move slot can hold one of three available moves. They possess a total of 12 special moves:Gale Strike,Shuriken of Light, andBlurring Blade (Neutral Special),Airborne Assault,Gale Stab, andChakram (Side Special),Stone Scabbard,Skyward Slash Dash, andHero's Spin (Up Special), andBlade Counter,Reversal Slash, andPower Thrust (Down Special).

One of the greatest strengths of the Mii Swordfighter is their extremely versatile and flexible set of specials, some of which are among the strongest moves in the game. Gale Strike and Chakram are fantastic projectiles which excel at distancing opponents, racking up damage, and edgeguarding. Gale Strike is among the Mii Swordfighter's best moves; while slow for a projectile, it does good damage, is an excellent tool to setup kill confirms due to its large hitbox and fixed knockback, and is very potent at ledgetrapping. Landing a Gale Strike allows the Mii Swordfighter to confirm into a multitude of moves such as back aerial, forward aerial, up aerial, Hero's Spin, and Chakram. Hero's Spin in particular is an extremely potent kill option, being able to take stocks as low as around 40% when confirming out of a Gale Strike at the ledge. Chakram is another potent projectile that is good for both initiating and deterring approaches. The smash input version is good for edgeguarding opponents with especially poor recoveries (i.e. Belmonts and Cloud) and the tilt input version allows the Mii Swordfighter to pressure the ledge and confirm into many different moves, providing them with two tools that establish a good defense-oriented playstyle. Along with being one of the few swordfighters that have access to projectiles, the Mii Swordfighter is also the only one that possesses a reflector in the form of Reversal Slash, which allows them to counter campy, projectile-heavy opponents as well. Additionally, Blade Counter, like other counters, can effectively edgeguard those who possess poor recoveries, though it isn't as effective for KO'ing near the side blast lines due to its' extensive vertical knockback. However, this does provide it with consistent KO potential.

Outside of their strong projectiles, the Mii Swordfighter possesses a few of fast and powerful normals. Back and up aerial are both very fast and powerful, the former of which is a strong tool to use for spacing and the latter for anti-airs and racking damage. Forward and neutral aerial both serve as average spacing tools, with forward air's multihits giving Mii Swordfighter several confirms on grounded opponents. Additionally, almost all of the Swordfighter's aerials can easily be comboed into from their down throw, giving the character extremely reliable damage from grabs. This, along with low aerial landing lag (with the exception of down aerial at 18 frames) results in the Mii Swordfighter having an above average aerial game due to most of their aerials being potential combo starters, while their down aerial, despite having weak set knockback, is great for gimping opponents with subpar recoveries alongside neutral and back aerial. The Mii Swordfighter's tilts, with the exception of forward tilt, are quite fast and are pretty reliable sources of damage and combo potential. Swordfighter's jab combo is relatively strong and launches at a very low angle, making it an option at setting up edgeguards and gimps. Their up tilt is generally used for juggling and starting combos at medium percentages, while their forward tilt and down tilt are more geared towards spacing and poking. The former is able to KO at mid-to-high percents near the ledge, making it a decent KO move, while the latter is safe on shield if spaced, can be used repeatedly without much risk, and reliably leads into combos at lower percents, making it another dependable combo starter the Swordfighter has.

Alongside their potent aerials and tilts are a set of powerful smash attacks and specials. While forward and up smash are both relatively laggy, they both boast a considerable amount of KO power and the same can be said for Blurring Blade and Power Thrust, the former which can KO at extremely low percents when fully charged at the edge of Final Destination.

Additionally, the Mii Swordfighter arguably has the best recovery options out of the three Mii Fighters. As inSSB4, Airborne Assault and Gale Stab both boast an incredible amount of horizontal distance while Stone Scabbard provides a high vertical distance. Skyward Slash Dash is a move similar to that ofFire Fox (with a difference being that it is disjointed), allowing the Mii Swordfighter to have both increased distance and a trajectory that can mix up edgeguarding opponents.

However, in spite of the variety of strengths that the Mii Swordfighter has, they are not without their weaknesses. For a swordfighter, they have one of the (if not the) worst disjoints in the game. Many of their swift normals simply have a lack of range in comparison to other swordfighters such as Lucina and Ike. Additionally, as mentioned before, their mobility is also very lackluster compared to other disjoint users given their average dashing/walking and air acceleration speeds, which makes it difficult for them to keep up with faster, rushdown-based characters (i.e. Sonic). While many of their specials have some form of use, there are a few that provide utility that's considered to be overshadowed compared to other specials, such as Gale Stab, which has trouble snapping to the ledge and has limited KO power and damage unless charged; and Blurring Blade, which suffers from being completely unsafe on shield, having to be charged to gain its high power, and not only sacrificing the use of two great projectiles to be used, but also having limited range itself. While Airborne Assault provides great recovery and sports surprising KO power, its "detection hitbox" mechanic means it will always lose hitbox trades and sometimes even miss opponents it should have hit, as well as being unsafe on shield, limiting its use to reading defensive options or poor aerial approaches, as well as situationally hitting ledge-hanging characters.

Furthermore, while many of the Mii Swordfighter's normals are good, their smash attacks are all very laggy and have generally poor reach, especially their up smash, which does not have a vacuum effect like that of Link, Samus, or the Mii Gunner while their good normals begin to lose their utility at higher percentages. Down tilt loses its' combo ability at mid percentages and up tilt is a fairly sluggish move against faster opponents. Additionally, their grab game is subpar, though not to the same extent asCloud. Aside from down throw, the Mii Swordfighter's throws offer mediocre utility, especially their up throw, which deals extremely low knockback and damage and has no true follow ups. Their throws also have mediocre KO power, with their strongest throw being back throw (which doesn't KO at around 180% at the edge of Final Destination). While Gale Strike and Chakram are still very good projectiles, their start and end lag are both substantial in comparison to other projectiles, making them unsafe to use up close, further exacerbating their struggle against faster characters and giving them a rather poor neutral. Lastly, while their recovery can be very flexible, some of them either offer poor distance or are quite linear, such as Stone Scabbard which provides no horizontal distance and poses a great risk of self destructing, and Hero's Spin, which while is a good out of shield option and has a very powerful final hit, exchanges said strengths for very poor distance.

Overall, the Mii Swordfighter is a jack of all trades amalgamation of all weapon based fighters. The ability to mix-and-match several different special moves adds a unique layer of versatility by allowing several different playstyles for the same basic fighter, making Mii Swordfighter among the most unpredictable to fight against. Overall, they excel in mid-close range combat and are capable of walling out opponents, racking up damage, and securing a plethora of different kill confirms. However, they exchange these strengths for a variety of laggy finishers, lacking disjointed range, a subpar grab game and average movement speed.

Changes fromSuper Smash Bros. 4[edit]

The Mii Swordfighter has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition fromSSB4 toUltimate, being overall buffed, though not enough to improve their standing.

Much like theMii Gunner, the Mii Swordfighter retains most of their previous moveset, with the majority of the Swordfighter's changes being alterations to their moveset's behavior. Like the other Mii Fighters, the Mii Swordfighter now has set attributes, including middlingweight (which is identical to that of a default-sized Mii Fighter inSSB4) alongside highair speed, but average or below-average stats otherwise (falling speed,air acceleration, andwalk andrun speed). As a result, the Swordfighter's role as the middle-ground Mii Fighter has been reinforced.

The Swordfighter has received noticeably few changes to their standard moveset, save forup smash now consisting of two slashes that can hit three times in front, and a newdash attack: a wide dashing slash. The biggest changes come from their alteredspecial moves; while only one of their special moves has been renamed (Slash Launcher is nowGale Stab), the majority of the Swordfighter's specials have significantly improved utility. Many now deal much higher damage, stronger knockback (or both, likeBlurring Blade for example), and/or have vastly improved utility, giving the Swordfighter a larger abundance of options and fixing another of their former weaknesses.Gale Strike now functions as a standard projectile, and hasfixed knockback with highhitstun, which combined with its higher damage makes it one of the most powerful combo initiators in the Swordfighter's arsenal.Shuriken of Light can nowlock opponents despite its lowered damage, and gains speed as it travels.Chakram travels faster when smash thrown and deals more damage, while the slow version now lingers and returns to where it was thrown, turning it into anapproach-deterring and ledge-trapping tool.Airborne Assault now gives the Swordfighter a half-second window to preventhelplessness and deals more knockback.Stone Scabbard has increased recovery distance and is capable of KOing.Skyward Slash Dash has much faster startup, making it a safer recovery option.Blade Counter can now initiate combos at low percents, or KO effectively due to its vertical angle. Lastly,Reversal Slash reflects projectiles with much more strength and speed than ever before, turning it into a devastatingly powerful reflector.

A few of the universal changes are also benefitial for the Swordfighter. The universal increases in mobility slightly improves their approach, combined with the various buffs to their projectiles. The reductions tolanding lag on aerial attacks patches up the Swordfighter's notorious lag issues inSSB4, and allows many of their aerials to start combos and function as safe landing options. The changes toair dodges also improve their recovery and edgeguarding game.

However, the Mii Swordfighter has also received nerfs. Arguably the biggest ones are to their standard moveset's decreased hitbox sizes; while other moves had their hitbox sizes increased, they pale in comparison and most of them are special moves. This worsens Mii Swordfighter's spacing and disjoint while also making one of their main weaknesses more exploitable. Like the other Miis, they now have set attributes, which makes their mobility, despite being buffed overall, average while still being mediocre compared to most other swordfighters.

Overall, the Mii Swordfighter is now more flexible in their playstyle, with their buffs to their special moveset allowing them to adapt to either an aggressive or zoner playstyle depending on the matchup. However, the reductions to hitbox sizes forces them to approach and play just as carefully. The Mii Swordfighter also still retains some of their most glaring weaknesses, such as below-average frame data for many of their ground moves, and a weakgrab game, both of which have not altered significantly from their transition toUltimate (and in the case of their throws, have not been changed at all). In addition, various veterans have received buffs that are more impactful than theirs at launch, while game updates have both provided even more buffs to veterans that are more noticeable than the Swordfighter's own changes, and introduced newcomer DLC characters, some of which prove difficult to overcome. Because of this, while the Swordfighter is undeniably a better character than inSSB4, they have not significantly improved compared to the rest of the cast inUltimate, and are considered to be the weakest of the three Miis.

Aesthetics[edit]

• Mii Swordfighter's name on UIs is now saidMii Swordfighter across all English versions of the game, rather thanMii Sword Fighter in PAL versions. Additionally, the Asian versions now useSmash 4's PAL name, replacing theMii Swordsman tag used in the Japanese version ofSmash 4.
• Players can customize the Mii Swordfighter's voice clips from 12 different voices, with 3 different pitches.
• Mii Swordfighters have had their body proportions adjusted.
• While still based on the "Guest B" Mii, the default Mii Swordfighter has an altered appearance. He has shorter hair, thinner eyebrows, and a slightly larger mouth.
• The default outfit for the Mii Swordfighter has significantly more detail, with the Swordfighter now wearing a character-colored tunic, armor pieces on their elbows and knees, and a sheath. The front of their shoulder belt no longer has a circular buckle in the front.

Attributes[edit]

• Like all characters, the Mii Swordfighter'sjumpsquat animation takes three frames to complete (down from 7).
• As with all Mii Fighters, the Mii Swordfighter now has fixed attributes:
  • The Mii Swordfighter now has a set weight of 100, on par with that ofCloud. This is identical to that of a default sized Mii Fighter inSmash 4.
  • The Mii Swordfighterwalks slower (1.188 → 1.07). This affects their mobility significantly compared to the cast, as they are now the 50th fastest walker (compared to 19-20th fastest inSmash 4).
  • Mii Swordfighterdashes faster (1.5 → 1.58).
    • Mii Swordfighter's initial dash speed is faster (1.3 → 1.74).
  • Mii Swordfighter has slightly higherair acceleration (0.04 → 0.05).
  • Mii Swordfighter has a significantly higherair speed (0.96 → 1.17), giving them the 18th highest air speed in the game (compared to 53-59th inSmash 4).
  • Mii Swordfighter has a slightly slowerfalling speed (1.6 → 1.55).
  • Mii Swordfighter's gravity is higher (0.096 → 0.106). This increases his vertical mobility, but worsens his recovery and survivability.

Ground attacks[edit]

• Neutral attack:
  • Like almost all characters, the first two hits of neutral attack can nowlock.
  • Third hit of neutral attack launches at a lower angle (55° → 30°), improving its KO potential near an edge.
  • Third hit of neutral attack has increased knockback (70 (base)/50 (scaling) → 75/70).
  • First hit of neutral attack does less damage (4% → 3%).
• Forward tilt:
  • It has a shorter hitbox duration (frames 10-12 → 10-11), and its total duration was unchanged, slightly increasing its ending lag.
  • It has smaller hitboxes (3.5u → 2.7u). Although the z offsets were adjusted to compensate, the hitbox is narrower than before.
  • It has gained a shieldstun multiplier of 0.7×, reducing its safety on shield despite shieldstun being increased for other tilt attacks.
• Down tilt:
  • Down tilt has smaller hitboxes, with its extended hitbox being removed (2.7u/2.7u/2.2u → 2.4u/2.4u).
• Dash attack:
  • Dash attack is now an outward swipe instead of an outward stab, similar toToon Link's.
  • Dash attack has increased base knockback (80 → 87), and launches at a much lower angle (60° →361°), dramatically improving its KO potential.
  • The move has a shorter total duration (FAF: 49 → 42), reducing the ending lag of the clean hit.
  • It now carries a 1.6x shieldstun multiplier, improving its safety on shield, especially in combination with the previous change.
  • Dash attack has a much shorter duration (9-18 → 9-10).
  • It has less horizontal range, while despite the new animation, the vertical range is largely unchanged.
• Forward smash:
  • Forward smash has slightly less startup lag (frame 16 → 15).
    • Its duration was unchanged, slightly increasing its ending lag.
  • The weak hit takes priority over the mid hit.
  • All hitboxes have redistributed sizes, with one of the weak hitboxes having been removed (4u/3u/4u/2.4u → 2.8u/2.8u/2.8u).
    • The strong hit is larger and is easier to land when compounded with the removal of one of the weak hitboxes.
    • It has smaller hitboxes all around.
  • All hits have increased base knockback (30 → 39), improving its KO potential all around.
• Up smash:
  • Up smash now consists of two slashes instead of three.
  • Up smash's previous second hit has now been moved behind the Mii Swordfighter.
  • Up smash's altered hitbox placement now allows it to hit opponents touching the Mii Swordfighter's back, although this will only deal two hits.
  • Up smash's final hit has increased base knockback (40 → 50), improving its KO potential.
  • Its second and third hits have shorter durations (frames 14-16/20-22 → 14-15/21-22).
• Down smash:
  • Both hits deal much more base knockback, but noticeably reduced knockback scaling (26 (base)/80 (scaling) → 78/50 (front hit), 25 (base)/80 (scaling) → 50/71 (back hit)), slightly improving its KO potential overall.
  • Both hits have one small hitbox instead of three larger ones (4u/4u/2.8u → 3u (front hit), 4u/4u/2.8u → 2.5u (back hit).
  • The smash attack charge point is 1 frame earlier (frame 5 → 4). This increases the delay between releasing the charge and the first hit coming out, and also makes it slightly harder to perform an uncharged down smash.

Aerial attacks[edit]

• All aerials have significantly reduced landing lag (15 frames → 9 (neutral, back), 17 → 12 (forward), 16 → 10 (up), 30 → 18 (down)).
• Neutral aerial:
  • Neutral aerial has increased base knockback (48 → 60).
  • The animation has been adjusted so that Mii Swordfighter holds the sword closer to his body for the first half of the swing, reducing the range. However, the outer hitbox on the sword has been positioned further outward (Y offset: 7 → 9.5), resulting in the latter half of the move having slightly more range.
• Forward aerial:
  • Its hitboxes are larger (4.2u/3.8u/3.5u (hits 1-2) → 4.5u/4.5u/4.5u, 5u/4.5u/3.5u (hit 3) → 4.5u/4.5u/4.5u).
  • It has longer durations on each hit (frames 11/16/21 → 11-12/16-17/21-22).
  • The first two hits now useset knockback, and have different launch angles and knockback values against grounded opponents. These changes make the hits combo into each other more consistently.
  • It auto-cancels earlier (frame 51 → 48).
  • The third hit now always sends opponents in the direction Mii Swordfighter is facing.
• Back aerial:
  • Back aerial has an altered animation; the Swordfighter leans forward slightly.
  • It has more startup lag (frame 8 → 10).
    • Its duration was unchanged, giving it less ending lag overall.
  • It has altered hitboxes, using smaller extended hitboxes rather than larger unextended hitboxes.
• Up aerial:
  • The decreased landing lag of up aerial combined with Mii swordifghter's faster jump squat gives it noticeably improved combo potential.
• Down aerial:
  • Down aerial has an altered animation, with the Swordfighter now stabbing downwards and twirling with their sword instead of turning upside down completely.
  • Down aerial's looping hits deal more damage (1% → 1.5%), improving its damage racking ability.
  • It has smaller hitboxes (4.6u/4.6u → 4u/4u).
  • Down aerial autocancels earlier (frame 80 → 50). While this prevents the landing hitbox from coming out, the opponent will usually be able to escape it after this point anyway, so it is largely beneficial.
  • The landing hitbox comes out earlier with a longer duration (frames 2-3 → 1-3).

Throws and other attacks[edit]

• Dash grab and pivot grab have slightly more startup lag (frame 8 → 9 (dash), 9 → 10 (pivot)).
• All grabs have increased ending lag (FAF 29 → 35 (standing), 37 → 43 (dash), 34 → 37 (pivot)).
• Dash grab has slightly less range (Z2 offset: 10.6u → 10.4u).
• The Mii Swordfighter'spummel is now a knee strike. It is significantly faster but deals much lower damage (3.25% → 1.3%), but this is a buff overall due to the Swordfighter's previously sluggish pummel.
• Forward throw:
• The first hit has a reduced hitlag multiplier (1.7x → 0.8x), allowing it to still execute quickly despiteUltimate's dramatically increased hitlag.
• The first hit now launches bystanders away instead of up and behind Mii Swordfighter (angle: 110° → 40°).
• Back throw:
  • Back throw's kick has now been changed to a roundhouse kick behind the Swordfighter.
• Down throw:
  • Down throw now throws opponents to the ground, similar toMarth's.
  • Down throw has been dramatically sped up, now throwing the opponent much faster (frame 40 → 16) with total duration compensated (FAF 58 → 34). The hitlag multiplier of the first hit has also been dramatically reduced to compensate for the increased hitlag inUltimate (1.8x → 0.9x). These changes make it harder for opponents to react to and DI down throw.
  • Down throw has increased combo potential due to Mii Swordfighter's faster jumpsquat.
• Edge attack deals more damage (7% → 9%).

Special moves[edit]

Neutral specials[edit]

• Gale Strike:
  • Gale Strike now hasset knockback and higherhitlag (80 (base)/104 (scaling) → 150 (set)/100). This grants it newfound combo potential, and gives the Swordfighter an almost guaranteed followup if it lands. This tremendously improves what was previously one of the least effectiveprojectiles in the game.
  • The gale deals significantly more damage (early: 3.7% → 13%, middle: 2.9% → 11%, late: 2% → 10%, total: 11% → 13%).
  • The gale has less startup. (frame 23 → 20).
  • Its early hitboxes have been enlarged to match the size of its late hitboxes (2.5u/3.1u/3.9u/5u → 5u/5u/5u/5u).
  • The gale travels a smaller distance, only half ofFinal Destination. It has also lost itspushing ability at the end, removing its utility to blow opponents and items away.
  • The gale now hastranscendent priority, meaning that it can no longer clash or neutralize projectiles, but can now beat out all direct attacks, even those with much greater damage outputs.
• Shuriken of Light:
  • The throwing animation has been altered: it is now a quick ninja-like finger flick near the Mii Swordfighter's torso.
  • Shurikens now gradually pick up speed as they travel.
  • The move has less startup (frame 16 → 13) and ending lag (FAF 50 → 38), making it function better as a conventional projectile.
  • Mid-range and long-range shurikens can now lock.
  • Max range shurikens deal significantly less damage (10% → 6.5%).
• Blurring Blade:
  • Blurring Blade now sets the Swordfighter's blade aflame for its duration, dealsflame damage, and ends in an upward slash, rather than a thrust. The final hit has a larger hitbox because of this.
  • Blurring Blade deals much higher damage across all charge levels (9.9 ~ 23.75% → 12 ~ 28.8%). It also has much higher knockback, allowing it to KO very early (100% uncharged, 24% fully charged at the edge of Final Destination).
  • Blurring Blade can now be reversed after charging, similar toRoy'sFlare Blade, but it can only be reversed once.

Side specials[edit]

• Airborne Assault:
  • Airborne Assault is no longer a chargeable move, and travels a set distance (about 3/4 of Final Destination).
  • Airborne Assault travels further on average when compared to the previous uncharged variant.
  • Airborne Assault deals higher knockback, allowing it to KO at high percents.
  • Airborne Assault deals significantly more damage than the previous uncharged version (7.2% → 12%), but less than a full-charged version (16% → 12%).
  • The move will stop at a ledge if it happens to pass one. This eliminates accidentalself-destructs while using the move, but also makes it harder to pursue offstage opponents or those on a different platform.
  • Airborne Assault now has around a half-second window where the Swordfighter can act to bypasshelplessness if the Swordfighter uses this move in the air, but if the move hits an opponent, the Mii won't be helpless. This significantly improves the Mii'srecovery.
  • The bounce gained from hitting an opponent travels higher, making it safer to use against shield.
  • Airborne Assault's rebounding animation has the Mii perform a flourishing backflip, with a larger sword trail accompanying it.
• Chakram:
  • Smash-thrown charkrams deal more damage (6.5% → 8%).
  • Slow chakrams now behave like a short-range multi-hitBoomerang, staying out for a longer duration and slowly returning to where it was initially thrown, dealing 1.1% per hit. This improves its ability to wall out approaches, initiate combos, ledge trap andedgeguard opponents.
  • Smash-thrown charkrams have much more knockback growth (40/50 → 70).
• Gale Stab:
  • Gale Stab (formerly Slash Launcher) has a new animation that has the Mii perform a charging stab rather than a reverse-gripped slash. If it misses, the Swordfighter will brake on the ground; if it hits, the Swordfighter will hold their sword in a stabbing motion forwards.
  • Gale Stab has less startup lag (frame 13 → 9).
  • Gale Stab deals much more damage when fully charged (10.2% → 18.5%). It also deals much more knockback, allowing the charged versions to KO.
  • Gale Stab now slows down upon hitting an opponent. It also deals slightly less damage late unless uncharged.

Up specials[edit]

• Stone Scabbard:
  • Stone Scabbard's descending trail is now blue instead of yellow. The move now has a unique sword sound byte at the end of the move if an opponent is hit.
  • Stone Scabbard travels much higher and grants more horizontal momentum at the start and right before falling, significantly increasing its usefulness as a recovery move.
  • Stone Scabbard can now sweetspot ledges from behind while falling.
  • Stone Scabbard's rising hit has a larger hitbox.
  • Stone Scabbard's landing hit is significantly stronger, allowing it to KO within the 110% range at the edge.
  • Stone Scabbard's first hit deals less damage (5% → 4%). The sword's hitbox when going through platforms also deals less damage (6% → 3%).
• Skyward Slash Dash:
  • Skyward Slash Dash's ascending trail is now orange instead of yellow.
  • Skyward Slash Dash has significantly less startup lag (frame 24 → 14).
    • This leaves the Swordfighter less vulnerable to attacks and functions much more like a surprise attack.
  • Skyward Slash deals significantly higher total damage (12% → 21.2%).
• Hero's Spin:
  • Hero's Spin now has identical particles asSpin Attack, albeit colored purple. The Swordfighter also undulates during the spin, much like the mentioned attack.
  • Aerial Hero's Spin's initial and final hits have redistributed damage values (4% (hit 1) → 3%, 4% → 5% (final hit).
    • The final hit did not receive any compensation for knockback, drastically increasing its KO potential to a point where it's now a potential KO confirm off of down throw near the ledge at mid percents.
  • Aerial Hero Spin now possesses hitboxes behind Mii Swordfighter on frames 11, 19, and 26.
  • Aerial Hero Spin's multihits have one large hitbox in place of three smaller ones (4u/4u/5u → 6u (hits 1-4).
  • Aerial Hero Spin's final hit is slightly larger (7u → 7.5u).

Down specials[edit]

• Blade Counter:
  • Blade Counter has a new visual effect, and now retaliates with an upward slash.
  • The counter now causes opponents to recoil before the counterattack.
  • The counterattack now sends opponents vertically, similar toCounter Surge, and has lower ending lag. At low percents, this makes it possible for follow ups.
  • Blade Counter's vertical launch angle improves its KO potential at higher percents in general, but worsens its KO potential against strong attacks close to a side blast line.
• Reversal Slash:
  • Reversal Slash's graphic is now an S-shaped swirl, instead of a C-shaped slash.
  • Reversal Slash's damaging hitbox has more startup lag (frame 12 → 16). Its reflecting hitbox stays the same (frame 5).
  • Reflected projectiles deal increased damage (1.5× → 1.8×), travel faster (1x → 1.5x) and last longer (duration multiplier 0.75x → 1x).
  • The reflection hitbox is smaller (9u → 7u), and further forward (z offset: 2 → 11). While this increases the reflection range in front of Swordfighter, it also prevents it from reflecting projectiles from behind, and reduces its vertical range.
  • Similarly toCape andSuper Sheet, the move always forces opponents to show their backside while they are using their moves, regardless of whether their animations are mirrored or not.
• Power Thrust:
  • Power Thrust now causes the Swordfighter's sword to glow purple instead of blue.
  • Grounded Power Thrust deals more damage, with the middle hitbox now dealing as much damage as the previous early hitbox (tipper/blade early: 13/10% → 15/12%, tipper/blade middle: 11/8% → 13/10%, tipper/blade late: 8% → 10/7.5%).
  • The tipper hitboxes takes priority over the blade hitboxes.
  • Grounded Power Thrust deals significantly higher knockback throughout all charge levels, allowing the early tipper to KO at 100%, and the middle hits at around the 115% range.
  • Grounded Power Thrust now stops at ledge. This prevents going offstage and attacking players offstage.
  • Aerial Power Thrust's landing hit deals significantly higher knockback (80 (base)/20 (scaling) → 60/120), KOing at around 105% at the edge of Final Destination.

Final Smash[edit]

• Final Edge now causes the Mii Swordfighter to rapidly perform slashes while each beam comes out instead of holding the sword skyward.
• The move's method of damaging opponents has been completely reworked. Rather than the beams being purely visual, and the move using large, stationary rehitting hitboxes, each individual beam is a projectile with its own hitbox. By comparison:
  • It lasts longer, and hits more frequently, potentially doing more damage.
  • The projectiles start off weaker, but get stronger the longer they travel for, as compared to the previous version of the move, where the further away hitboxes were weaker instead.
  • The range no longer gradually increases, and the maximum range is shorter now than it was before.

Update history[edit]

Mii Swordfighter received the fewest changes in patches compared to the other Mii Fighters (due to not receiving any buffs or nerfs in patches 2.0.0 and 3.1.0 unlike the other Miis). The Swordfighter has been given few changes throughout the game but has mainly received nerfs. In patch 3.0.0, Chakram, Gale Strike, and Shuriken of Light were nerfed, as a result of all dealing less shield damage due to the overall nerf to projectiles from the patch.

On the other hand, Mii Swordfighter has received some buffs. In patch 3.0.0 and patch 4.0.0 respectively, their edge attack was given more range, and Blurring Blade was made to connect more reliably. In patch 7.0.0 increased Mii Swordfighter's shield size; They were the only Mii Fighter that received this change.

In patch 9.0.0, Mii Swordfighter received a buff to Hero's Spin, making the move connect with itself more reliably. This change was simply reverting a shadow nerf from 2.0.0 that caused Hero's Spin to not connect on the final hit unless the player moved backwards on their joystick for the last hit. Being an undocumented change, it was rumored to have been an accident, the rumor being supported by 9.0.0's hotfix of the move.

Patch 12.0.0, provided Mii Swordfighter with a handful of small buffs to some of his special moves. Airborne Assault deals 2% more damage and does more knockback, now becoming a decent KO move. Stone Scabbard's last hit does more damage and knockback. Blade Counter's intangibility starts 1 frame faster, has faster counter detection, and has less ending lag on activation. And finally, Power Thrust starts 2 frames faster.

As a result of these changes, Mii Swordfighter is a slightly better character than they were at launch.

1.1.0

• Gale Strike has significantly less range (sustained frames 100 → 52), now travelling about half as far.
  • However it travels faster (speed 0.55 → 0.65).
• Chakram has significantly less range (sustained frames 45 → 23), now travelling about half as far.
• Shuriken of Light has more range (life: 30 → 38).

2.0.0

• Fixed a game crash caused byDuck Hunt usingWild Gunman at the same time asGale Stab.
• Corrupt data occurs if Mii Swordfighter and Duck Hunt play Century Smash together.

3.0.0

• Edge attack has more range.
• Gale Strike deals less shield damage (0 → -6.5/-5.5/-5/-4.5 (clean/mid/late/latest)).
• Shuriken of Light deals less shield damage (0 → -1/-1.5/-2.5/-3 (earliest/early/clean/late)).
• Chakram deals less shield damage (0 → -0.5/-4 (tilt, per hit/smash)).

4.0.0

• Blurring Blade's hits connect more reliably into the final slash.

7.0.0

• Overall shield size has been increased by 1.075×.

9.0.0

• AerialHero's Spin's third and fourth hits launch at different angles (85° → 75° (hit 3), 75° → 65° (hit 4)), and the last hit has a larger hitbox (7.5u → 8.2u), allowing the move to connect more reliably.

11.0.0

• Changed the length of vulnerability whencrumpling to be consistent with other fighters.

12.0.0

• Airborne Assault deals more damage (12% → 14%) with knockback scaling partially compensated (90 → 85).
• Adjusted the behavior ofGale Stab such that Mii Swordfighter can now grab the ledge after hitting the target but before reaching the special fall state.
• Stone Scabbard's landing hit deals more damage (5% → 8%), with knockback scaling compensated (110 → 93).
• Blade Counter has less startup (frames 6-26 → 5-25), with its intangibility starting earlier (frames 5-6 → 4-6), and has less ending lag on activation (FAF 41 → 39).
• Power Thrust has less startup (frame 14 (grounded)/16 (aerial) → 12/14), with its total duration reduced as well (FAF 62/68/61 → 60/66/59).

Incompetitive play[edit]

Most historically significant players[edit]

See also:Category:Mii Swordfighter players (SSBU)

•  Anonymous Moniker - The best solo-Mii Swordfighter player in the early metagame, with notable regional performances such as 3rd atSmash Out 2018 overyeti, 9th atMidwest Mayhem Ultimate overvarun, and 13th atCombo Breaker 2019; these performances remain some of the best solo-Mii Swordfighter results despite only taking place in the game's first few months.
•  Myollnir - Although he rarely competes, his 9th-place finish atTemple: Hermès Edition defeatingOryon andNeeroz is the best Mii Swordfighter major performance of all time. He was also ranked 113th on theOrionRank Ultimate: Eclipse, becoming the only solo-Mii Swordfighter player recognized by a global ranking.
•  Susu - Though primarily known for playingSteve, he has developed a Mii Swordfighter secondary that he frequently uses alongside Steve. He is considered the best Mii Swordfighter player in the post-pandemic metagame, having used the character to defeat or help defeat several European players, includingcrêpe salée andRaflow atPlay Sorbonne Festival 2025 SSBU. In addition, he placed 25th atPort Priority 9 playing mostly Mii Swordfighter, the best Mii Swordfighter performance at a major since Myollnir's run at Temple. He was ranked 66th on theUltRank Delta 2025 with both characters.

Tier placement and history[edit]

In the early metagame ofSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, many people believed that Mii Swordfighter had great potential to be a viable character due to having stronger frame data (with their aerials receiving the most notable changes) and better combo tools than the previous game. The significant buffs to their custom moves also stood out in particular compared to the other Mii Fighters, granting them a strong set of kill confirms (notably with Gale Strike and Chakram) and a much higher KO potential relative toSmash 4. This overall led to them being considered a high-tier character at best, and they were often regarded as the strongest of the Mii Fighters.

However as the meta advanced, opinions on Mii Swordfighter's viability plummeted. Their weaknesses were perceived to be worse than expected, as their lackluster disjointed range, below average speed and frame data for a swordfighter, a lack of moves with good frame data (such as down tilt) and lackluster throws (aside from down throw) altogether hindered their toolkit. This caused them to struggle against characters with a rushdown playstyle or significantly better disjoints. This is reflected in Mii Swordfighter's nonexistent playerbase; although Mii Swordfighter saw some success fromAnonymous Moniker in the early metagame,Myollnir in 2021, and as an online character/occasional offline pocket fromMiya in 2024, Mii Swordfighter remains one of the least represented characters in the metagame, ranking at or near the bottom in terms of representation since 2021. This low representation and poor reception is reflected in Mii Swordfighter's placements as they have not ranked above the D- tier out of the three officially released tier lists. Despite their lack of representation at top level, the character has placed higher at every proceeding tier list so far; they have been ranked 78th on the first, 76th on the second list, and 72nd on the third and current tier list, although this is mostly due to the reassessments of other fighters within the D tier and not because of metagame breakthroughs for Mii Swordfighter.

Role inWorld of Light[edit]

Finding Mii Swordfighter in World of Light

Although the Mii Swordfighter does not appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, they were vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (exceptKirby) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.

In the mode itself, the default Mii Swordfighter can be fought in the small town square whereTimmy andTommy's is located, north-northeast of the first crossroads.

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

Spirit[edit]

Mii Swordfighter's fighter spirit is available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only if the player has a Mii Swordfighter. Unlocking Mii Swordfighter in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Unlike most fighters, the spirit for Mii Swordfighter only uses the default Swordfighter's artwork fromUltimate.

Trivia[edit]

• Compared to the other Miis:
  • The Mii Swordfighter has a purple background effect when using a Final Smash (similar toDark Pit's background effect) as opposed to having a blue effect.
  • They use differentVictory poses in team battles.
  • They have the most Spirit Battles involving Legend spirits (that being 2 battles).
  • They have the lowest jump height and no wall jump.
• The Mii Swordfighter is the first swordfighter that possesses a reflector, in this case,Reversal Slash; after them isHero, who has Bounce as one of hisCommand Selection spells, andSora, whoseCounterattack special can reflect projectiles in addition to its normal use.
• Like inSmash 4, all of the Mii Swordfighter's chargeable special moves share the same charging sound.
• The Mii Swordfighter is one of the three characters to share the same downtaunt pose, the other two beingLink andLucario.
• Mii Swordfighter’s pose in the group artwork forUltimate resembles the third hit of itsforward aerial.
• As in the previous game, the Swordfighter's sword trails will change with the equipped costume, but with more variance in the different trails. Most generic outfits give the sword blue-and-white trails as it is swung, and costumes based on certain characters will often change to match the sword's color. The Lloyd, Dante, Black Knight, and Persona Protagonist costumes give unique trails that are different from the sword's color.
• WhenKirbyinhales the Mii Swordfighter, the appearance of the sword Kirby uses is retained from the default Mii Swordfighter outfit fromSuper Smash Bros. 4.
