'''Mii Swordfighters''' ({{ja|剣術タイプ|Kenjutsu Taipu}}, ''Fencing Type''), formatted as '''Mii Sword Fighters''' in the [[PAL]] version, are one of the three different types of {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}}s that appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', along with {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}s and {{SSB4|Mii Gunner}}s. | |||
Mii Swordfighter is unranked on the | Mii Swordfighter is unranked on the latest [[tier list]], but was 56th out of 57 on the third tier list (when only taking their default moveset and size into account), placing them in bottom tier and making them the lowest ranked newcomer along with Mii Brawler. The Mii Swordfighter has several noteworthy strengths, such as having [[disjointed]] range, respectable combo ability, and one of the game's fastest grabs. When granted access to their custom moves, they also enjoy a slew of unique and flexible tools that make them an adaptable fighter, including access to three useful disrupting [[projectile]]s, along with being the only swordsman with access to a [[reflector]] in [[Reversal Slash]]. | ||
However, this versatility is made null by the banning of custom moves since [[EVO 2015]], and they are forced to contend with unimpressive mobility, surprisingly low KO power, and a laggy, unsafe moveset that creates a very poor [[approach]] both on the ground and in the air, alongside an ineffective recovery, especially vertically. This fact is further apparent due to the Mii Swordfighter being outclassed by all other swordsmen in the game; they have less range than all others, especially {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Shulk}}, below-average ground movement, and considerably less power. | However, this versatility is made null by the banning of custom moves since [[EVO 2015]], and they are forced to contend with unimpressive mobility, surprisingly low KO power, and a laggy, unsafe moveset that creates a very poor [[approach]] both on the ground and in the air, alongside an ineffective recovery, especially vertically.

===Tier placement and history=== | |||
<!-- Since the Miis were originally built around custom special movesets, an explanation about them is valid.--> | |||
The Mii Swordfighter's initial reception was arguably the most obscure of all Mii Fighters; overall, players acknowledged that they were one of the few fighters with disjointed range and projectiles, while the sheer variance of their custom moves allowed them to have the largest amount of potential playstyles. This made them viewed as one the most flexible Mii Fighters in the early metagame, especially with smaller variants of Mii Swordfighter, who had superior mobility and frame data (albeit with a cost of some range) to allow them to play more offensively and defensively. However, all three kinds of Mii were quickly looked down upon due to the controversy surrounding the allowance of custom movesets in tournaments, with the ban restricting the Mii Swordfighter to a very lackluster special moveset, with a poor projectile in Gale Strike and linear recovery options, flaws which were further compounded by slow mobility, heavy lag despite their disjointed range being average at best, and a notable lack of KO moves. The ban also restricted custom Mii sizes, forcing Mii Swordfighter to stay in its default size, which notably hindered their approach approach potential, their combo potential, their recovery and their ability to run away in comparison to their smaller counterpart. | |||
While at first the Mii's choice for custom movesets was up to a [[tournament director]]'s discretion, when custom special movesets/mii sizes began to be discussed, the Mii's tier placements once again began to rise in the eyes of many players, though in the case of the Mii Swordfighter, many would then go on to consider it to be a low-tier character (at least for their default size), mainly because of its similarities with fellow swordfighter {{SSB4|Link}}, and due to their movesets not being as impressive as initially thought. After the universal ban of custom movesets/mii sizes post-EVO 2015, however, expectations of the Mii plummeted once again, and they would go on to be widely viewed as some of the worst characters in the game. For the Swordfighter, it would at first rank at the 53rd spot of the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]], then see a drop to 57th on both the second and the third (and current) tier list, with all placings ranking it as the worst kind of default Mii. However, due to its better placements than the {{SSB4|Mii Brawler}}, some professionals such as {{Sm|ZeRo}} did not think the Swordfighter should have been ranked as the worst kind of Mii, due to its strengths being decent enough compared to the Brawler, as well as having better representation in tournaments than the former Mii. | |||
Due to a very large stagnation of data on the Miis, as well as no response on whether or not they should be allowed to use custom moves, the Miis were excluded from placement voting on the fourth and most recent tier list and with the game coming to the end of its competitive lifetime only a year after the tier list was released, it is unlikely that the Miis will be added to any official tier lists in the foreseeable future. Tournaments near and after the end of the game's competitive life were more lenient towards the Miis having access to their custom moves, which would leave Mii Swordfighter in a better spot but by exactly how much is unknown. | |||
