Meta Knight is currently ranked 16th out of 55 on the [[tier list]], placing him in the B tier. This is a moderate drop from his top-tier placement in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 1st out of 38. Meta Knight's already impressive mobility has been improved: his already fast [[dash]]ing and [[falling speed]]s have become even faster, while his extremely slow [[air speed]] has become drastically faster. Meta Knight's overall frame data remains extremely fast and {{s|wikirby|Galaxia}} grants him [[Hitbox|disjointed]] [[range]], which collectively enable him to retain his formidable [[combo]] game and [[edge-guarding]] potential. Incidentally, he also boasts an impressive [[recovery]]: in addition to his [[Double jump#Multiple double jumps|multiple double jumps]], all [[Mach Tornado|of]] [[Drill Rush|his]] [[Shuttle Loop|special]] [[Dimensional Cape|moves]] are reliable at bringing him back on-stage.

However, Meta Knight received heavy nerfs in the transition to ''SSB4'', likely owing to his dominance in ''Brawl''. His outstanding frame data and range, long-distanced recovery and overall damage output have been toned down, while his [[approach]] has been weakened because of the total removal of {{s|wikirby|Galaxia}}'s [[Priority#Transcendent priority|transcendent priority]]. When combined with his continued lack of a [[projectile]], these changes result in Meta Knight having a more difficult time overcoming [[camping]] strategies. Meta Knight's very quick falling speed is also a double-edged sword: while it is an important aspect of his mobility, it is also detrimental because of his light [[weight]], as it leaves him vulnerable to both combos and KOs. His endurance is also exacerbated by the nerfs to his recovery, with the most notable example being the removal of [[Glide|gliding]].
