Welcome back to Ignitus' Wisdom! Today, our Mii Fighters trilogy continues as the Mii Swordfighter enters the arena. So let's not waste a second. Here we go!
Spyro: Okay, who's this guy? He looks like he stepped straight out of a Renaissance Faire.
Ignitus: That is the Mii Swordfighter, another of the three Mii Fighters.
Spyro: So this is one of the guys Smash fans are always complaining about.
Ignitus: Well, to be fair, even Sakurai himself agrees there's too many sword users in Smash. Same for Fire Emblem Characters.
Spyro: I don't see the argument really. It's just the Links, Marth, Roy, Chrom, Ike, Lucina, Robin, Corrin, Byleth, Shulk, Joker, the Hero and this guy. That's 15 out of 82 fighters, only about 18% of the roster. Sure it sounds like a lot, but it seems those who complain overlook the other nearly 70 characters they can use instead.
Ignitus: What about Pit and Dark Pit? They wield dual swords.
Spyro: I don't count them really, since their weapon is a bow, that has recently been able to become a pair of swords.
Ignitus: That's... actually a fair point.
Spyro: Anyways, Smash rants aside, what do I need to watch out for with this guy?
Ignitus: Keep an eye on that sword. Especially with the Final Smash, that thing can entirely cover some stages if the Mii Swordfighter is at the edge.
Spyro: Got it. Time to see if the fan complaints are warranted.
