The Problem: The Mii Fighters are a unique character found in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. They are characters that must be created from scratch to use in the first place, but many events place the arbitrary limitation of an only 1111 moveset on them. There have been high profile events to support the restricted 1111 moveset, and an unrestricted moveset that allows any moves. The community is unable to come to a consensus on the issue. The largest problem yet with this is that the Evo 2016 ruleset was announced to have a limited ruleset, which will affect many other rulesets throughout the world.

How We Are Affected: Many tournament organizers will blindly copy the Evo ruleset for their tournaments due to the status of the tournament. Evo is the most popular and widely recognized fighting game tournament in the entire world, and holds a huge amount of weight on the decision of rulesets everywhere. Especially as Smash builds in popularity, more events are adding it as a headlining game without full knowledge on their own to create a ruleset, and would rather opt to copy the ruleset of an established major, such as Evo. This could lead to the same Mii restricted ruleset being implemented across the world, and changing smaller communities rulesets and upsetting the players that rely on them.

Proof For Change: There has been a large cry from the Smash communities found on Smashboards, Twitter, Reddit, and more - all in favor of giving an unrestricted rule for Miis. Many rules that limited them would say that it was due to the need for more data, and it has been given. Many high profile tournaments such as MLG New Orleans used an unrestricted ruleset for Miis, and had no issues at all. Even if this were to not catch on, many arguments have been given to show that banning Miis all together (not entering the custom menu at all) makes more sense to the arguments of the pro-restriction, and this hasn't been done either.

What Needs To Be Done: The ruleset for Evo 2016 in regards to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U needs to be updated to reflect that a Mii may be created with any default Mii (medium height and weight available on all systems), and any combination of special moves. It is further recommended to utilize the MLG Ruleset made for Miis to help appease many arguments (the unique ability to counterpick only moves between games, rather than character), and that "only one Mii Fighter of each type may be created and selected per set", to avoid them from changing a specific move rather than counterpicking a different character. This rule also aids in adaptation that is a common aspect found in Smash.
