What struck me immediately is that the various Mii FIghters (Brawlers, Swordsman and Gunners) appear to borrow heavily from other fighters. I am not here to complain about it, I am here to point out the moves I see.
Miis do seem to be partial clones, however, as many moves shown belong to other fighters. As with any clone, the properties of said moves are likely a little different. It also seems that some moves were made solely for them (or are cloned from unannounced characters). To those of you who think three movesets for these characters is too much (taking away chances for other characters to be playable), fear not! For few of their moves are their own. They also appear to be amalgam clones, borrowing moves from many fighters rather than one, so I think that's part of the reason I'm okay with this.
Video breakdown: http://youtu.be/-VyUi4_NsK4
- 0:52 Mii Brawler performs one of its Side Specials, a dashing knee attack, followed by one of his Down Specials, a barrage of quick kicks, and ended with one of his Standard Specials, a powerful upward punch. The Side Special resembles Captain Falcon's/Zamus' Knee Attack with some new effects. The Down Special is Fox's Combo with new effects. And the Standard Special appears to be quite similar to Mario's Up Tilt.
- 0:59 Mii Gunner uses Samus' Down Tilt.
- 1:01 Mii Gunner performs a jumping upward barrage of lazer blasts, similar, in animation, to Megaman's Up Air. The projectiles are very different.
- 1:05 Mii Brawler performs an attack that hits one both sides kicking behind itself and punching in front of itself. This is Wii Fit Trainer's Down Smash.
- 1:07 Mii Swordsman performs a triple slash overhead in a fashion very similar to Link's Up Smash. Looks faster, though.
- 1:12 Mii Brawler performs another version of its Side Special, a flaming kick. This move is similar to Falcon Kick, but uses the same effects as Charizard's Flare Blitz move.
- 1:15 Mii Brawler performs a variant of its Down Special which is visually similar to Sonic's Down Air.
- 1:41 Mii Swordsman uses Ike's Down Throw
- 1:52 Mii Gunner uses Samus' Charge Shot while a second Mii Gunner uses Samus' Missles. Immediately after, the second Gunner fires an explosive that works similarly to Sheik's Burst Grenades.
Pic Breakdown:
This pic shows the variants of Mii Brawler's Special moves.
- Standard Special option 1 & option 3 seem unique, while option 2 appears similar to Mario's Up Tilt (as I mentioned before).
- I already discussed Side Special option 1 & option 2. Option 1 looks like Captain Falcon's/Zamus' Knee of Justice and option 2 looks like Falcon Kick with Charizard's Flare Blitz effects). Option 3 looks visually similar to one of Donkey Kong's aerials (the Mii's hands even increase in size), though I'm not sure which.
- Up Special option 2 looks unique. Option 1 looks similar to Sheik's Bouncing Fish. Option 3 looks similar to Pit's Upperdash Arm (the attack even appears to extend beyond the Mii's fist with circular energy, a shape much like the Upperdash Arm itself).
- Down Special option 1 seems unique. Option 2 & option 3 appear to be based on Sonic's Down Air and Fox's Combo respectively.
This pic shows what is a Mii Brawler clearly using Fox's Up Smash.
This pic of Mii Swordsman showing off some Special moves show what appears to be Greninja's Water Shuriken recolored yellow. The Chakram attacks seems unique. The Mii Swordsman using "Gale Slices" is in a pose strikingly similar to Link's Side Smash.
This pic shows the Mii Gunner's Side Smash (notable for long range). While not cloned from any existing fighter, the move's projectiles are a recolored version of the Dark Samus Assist Trophy's rapid fire attack.
Other:
- During the Reggie V. Iwata Mii battle, Iwata's Mii Swordsman use a counter very similar to Marth's/Ike's.
Did anyone notice anything I've missed?
