This is a significant improvement from his ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' iteration, where he was ranked 55th out of 57 on that game's third tier list before ultimately going unranked on the fourth one. This also makes ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Mii Brawler the highest ranked Mii Fighter in the series. Mii Brawler possesses high mobility and fast frame data, allowing him to have a strong combo game that can lead into a KO, especially on stages with platforms or short ceilings. Additionally, Custom Moves allow for an extra degree of adaptability and are commonly allowed in tournament play, with some options having very effective strengths, such as [[Suplex]] (an extremely damaging [[command grab]]), [[Counter Throw]] (a short duration but strong [[counterattack]] with the second highest damage multiplier) and all three [[up special move]]s ([[Soaring Axe Kick]] is a surprisingly disjointed and effective [[out of shield]] option with a powerful [[meteor smash]], [[Helicopter Kick]] has potent combo and KO potential at the sides of a stage, and [[Thrust Uppercut]] can net early KOs through platform combos). Overall, this gives the Brawler an effective rushdown combo playstyle. | ||
However, not all of his weaknesses can be mitigated by specials. Mii Brawler has exceptionally poor range, even compared to other close-range fighters like {{SSBU|Mario}} or {{SSBU|Wolf}}, and his combo ability starts falling off at higher percents, making it difficult to close off stocks due to his lack of reliable high-percent KO confirms. His fast fallspeed limits his edgeguarding and leaves him prone to long combos like {{SSBU|Fox}}, and his weight is the lightest out of the Mii Fighters, giving the Brawler the lowest survivability. Finally, his [[recovery]], while customizable and varied, can be rather lacking, as most of his recovery moves grant average distance apart from a few options, such as [[Feint Jump]], and his aforementioned fast falling speed further compounds this issue. | However, not all of his weaknesses can be mitigated by specials.

Most Mii Brawler usage have been as a secondary from players such as {{Sm|Rizeasu}}, however Mii Brawler has seen success as a solo-main, especially from {{Sm|KID}}. | ||

Early metagame opinions on Mii Brawler were lackluster: many players quickly noticed the severe nerfs to his strongest and infamous abilities from ''Smash 4'', most notably the heavy nerfs to down throw (which could KO opponents at extremely low percents through the use of [[Helicopter Kick]] and [[Piston Punch]]). In addition, he received nerfs to his core moves (the smaller hitboxes of neutral and back aerials, and the loss of the [[autolink angle]] for forward aerial), and suffered from laggy and/or short-ranged moves, a poor approach, an ironic lack of safe KO moves, and a high vulnerability to combos and gimping. Due to this, he was quickly considered to be the weakest of the three Mii Fighters, as he had the ability to rack up damage very quickly, yet were unable to safely secure stocks. | Early metagame opinions on Mii Brawler were lackluster: many players quickly noticed the severe nerfs to his strongest and infamous abilities from ''Smash 4'', most notably the heavy nerfs to down throw (which could KO opponents at extremely low percents through the use of [[Helicopter Kick]] and [[Piston Punch]]).

As time went on, Mii Brawler received several notable buffs to his movesets that gave gim a better combo game and KO power. Most notable among this was the buffs to [[Thrust Uppercut]], which gained some notoriety for being able to confirm from some moves, most notably down throw, and KO at early percents on some stages. In addition, the character saw success as a secondary or pocket character, especially from {{Sm|Rizeasu}}, who has won or came close to winning several events with Mii Brawler, as well as other players who have picked up the character on occasion such as {{Sm|Bloom4Eva}}.

Although Mii Brawler's solo-main results remained underwhelming for some time, it has still seen some success thanks to the efforts of players such as {{Sm|Ghost}} in the early metagame and {{Sm|KID}} in the post-online metagame. Due to all these factors, opinions on Mii Brawler, as well as his representation in the metagame, have risen, particularly in the post-online metagame, and as such he was ranked 37th on the first tier list as a high tier, then 36th on the second tier list in the B+ tier. | ||
