Banjo & Kazooie were initially met with a mildly positive reception due to their strong and flexible moves (such as forward aerial, forward tilt, smash attacks, [[Wonderwing]], and [[Rear Egg]]), their ability to zone and edge trap effectively, and their versatile recovery. However, the duo's flaws, including their below-average speed, problems with juggling and scoring KOs, fairly noticeable lag on their moves, and a barely adequate grab game, were also noted. This has led the character to have below-average results compared to the rest of the cast, although they had some notable success from players such as {{Sm|huto}}, {{Sm|Raito}}, and {{Sm|Trela}}; {{Sm|Tweek}} also played the character at {{Trn|Glitch 7 - Minus World}}, although he has yet to touch the character since. As a result, the early consensus was that the duo were between mid tier and the lower end of high tier. | Banjo & Kazooie were initially met with a mildly positive reception due to their strong and flexible moves (such as forward aerial, forward tilt, smash attacks, [[Wonderwing]], and [[Rear Egg]]), their ability to zone and edge trap effectively, and their versatile recovery.

However, by the end of 2019, Banjo & Kazooie saw a decline in both results and reception, with many players dropping the duo. Many players believe that they are only at their strongest in an online environment, while others believe that they are low to lower-mid tier overall. While Banjo & Kazooie are generally considered respectable fighters, their viability as a solo main has been questioned as his best players often co-mained them or used them as a secondary; {{Sm|Toriguri}} has been the only player who has seen any success using solely Banjo & Kazooie. This has led to their ranking on the current tier list, where they are ranked 66th as a mid-low tier. | However, by the end of 2019, Banjo & Kazooie saw a decline in both results and reception, with many players dropping the duo.
