Despite having received noticeable attention due to its unexpected inclusion, Piranha Plant's representation has been low at tournaments. This is due to its noticeable susceptibility to combos as well as sub-par mobility and approach options. In spite of its versatile projectile and recovery, many professionals consider Piranha Plant to be a low-mid tier character. Despite this, Piranha Plant has achieved several placings from players such as {{Sm|Brood}}, {{Sm|Lucky|p=Minnesota}}, and {{Sm|Greward}}. Brood, in particular, has brought forth more discussion over the character's true viability as a result of placing 2nd at {{Trn|Umebura SP 4}}. In addition, {{Sm|ESAM}} has notably put out a video of where he reconsiders Piranha Plant's standing, believing that it is now a mid tier character. Also, notably, {{Sm|ZeRo}} recently put out a tier list claiming Piranha Plant is high tier. In the current meta however, Brood has dropped Piranha Plant in favour of {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}} upon their release, thus Piranha Plant once again remains stagnant in competitive play due to lacking high level representatives, even with previous updates giving numerous buffs. As a result, Piranha Plant's current standing in the meta is up to debate.
