Hey everyone! My name is Pixel. I'm not a Mii main but I am in favor of legalizing them (and tbh I probably would main them if movesets were legal). I'm working on a video project that will hopefully help out Mii players, so let's get right into it. I'm gonna ask some questions and I'd like you to answer them as best as you can, please.

A lot of misconceptions about custom Miis is that they're broken. This usually only applies when talking about Brawler, however I have seen people say it about Gunner too. In my research I'm gonna give a detailed explanation on WHY Miis aren't OP, however, I would also like to give some matchup examples, like a mini/incomplete matchup chart as evidence. I don't need a detailed list of the entire cast and why the matchup is like that, but if you can give me an example of some good and bad matchups for Gunner, that would be great.

Another reason Miis are banned is because many people don't like that they can have an infinite number of movesets, even tho 99% of the time they're going to use the same moves anyways. Xanadu handles this pretty well by making it so you can only use one moveset for the entire tournament, however that's still not enough for some people. Many however say that if Miis had one universal moveset then they would be much more in favor of legalizing them. So if you had to pick, what would you say Gunner's best moveset is? I'm gonna compile the results (as well as do my own testing) and come up with an "Optimal" set that could be used to legalize Miis.

That's pretty much all I need from you, the rest of my data will be through my own research/asking top players, however if you do have anything else to add please let me know! Thank you for your help!

There is no "best moveset" for gunner because there are different playstyles for the character which suit different people. Some people think 3312 is best, except recently 1312 has been gaining more support, however there are some 1111 players (including myself) who think 1111 is the best, after using it for years and discovering combos/techniques with Flame Pillar, Reflector and Charge Shot which weren't obvious at first. Opinions will be different depending on who you ask. I think it would be great to legalize all movesets, or keep 1111 if only one moveset can be allowed. It's too late to kick 1111 players off their moveset, but full legalization would make everyone happy.

I don't think there is enough evidence for a complete matchup chart for the character, because the meta surrounding Gunner is still pretty undeveloped. Again, it depends who you ask. None of the Mii Fighters are broken, though, and it sucks how they are banned without sufficient tournament play or any real problems beforehand. People wanted to ban Brawl MK and IC's when they were proven to be overpowered, but Mii Fighters never even got that chance, it was only fear and laziness about learning a few new matchups.
