Following the MLG era, ''Brawl'' activity largely centered on the scene's grassroots tournaments, particularly [[Apex]]. The advent of streaming groups such as [[CLASH Tournaments]] allowed for high-definition footage of ''Brawl'' sets, featuring high-quality, professional commentary for the first time in ''Smash'' tournaments. The [[Tristate Area]], as the home of Apex and CLASH Tournaments, became the most active and publicized region in the United States, and the unofficial center of the ''Brawl'' community. | Following the MLG era, ''Brawl'' activity largely centered on the scene's grassroots tournaments, particularly [[Apex]].

He was notorious for frequently getting upset by perceived lower-skilled players, most notably by {{Sm|OCEAN}} at [[Apex 2012]] and {{Sm|Salem}} at [[Apex 2013]]. Players such as {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|Otori}}, and {{Sm|ZeRo}}, with their dominance at American events, began to compete with Mew2King for the title of best ''Brawl'' player.

While Snake eventually fell on the tier list and lost his former dominance, Meta Knight's presence in the metagame only continued to grow. as he continued to fill the top spots in tournaments. More debates on Meta Knight's legality waged, as players complained that he was over-centralizing the game. This culminated in the [[Unity Ruleset Committee]] banning Meta Knight by vote in September 2011, taking effect in January 2012; this was lifted in April as the Committee disbanded, and it was once again up to tournament directors to decide whether to ban the character. Meta Knight was commonly banned in regions such as the [[Midwest]] and [[Texas]], but remained legal in the [[Tristate Area]] and Japan, the strongest, most active, and most prominent regions in the world. The dual Meta Knight ban in doubles, though, became widespread, as this was seen as less extreme, while still permitting Meta Knight players to participate in these events. | While Snake eventually fell on the tier list and lost his former dominance, Meta Knight's presence in the metagame only continued to grow. as he continued to fill the top spots in tournaments.
