Super Smash Bros. WiiU/3DS Guide › CHARACTERS

Mii Fighters

Use your system’s Mii Maker application to create Miis, then import them into the game for use as Mii Fighters! Like the game’s official characters, Mii Fighters can be customized with equipment and alternate Specials. You can even use any outfits and headgear items you’ve collected in the game to give your Mii Fighters entirely new looks!

When you create a new Mii Fighter, you’re given the choice of three distinct combat styles. It’s also important to note that your Mii’s height and weight will effect his or her basic stats. Larger characters tend to be slow and strong, while smaller characters are quick and agile. Experiment with different combinations to create your ultimate Mii Fighter!

Mii Fighter Specials don’t need to be collected—all of them are available in the game’s Custom modes. Unlock new Powers, headgear, and outfits by collecting random drops and completing special Challenges.

Mii Fighters can be used in any game mode that allows customized characters.

Brawler

As an expert in hand-to-hand combat, the Brawler uses powerful strikes and rapid-fire combinations to deal heavy damage at short range.

The Swordfighter uses his or her weapon to deliver precision attacks. From slashing combos to powerful lunges, this Mii Fighter is an expert at swordplay.
