Piranha Plant's representation improved around the summer of 2019 thanks to dedicated mains such as {{Sm|Brood}}, {{Sm|Lucky|p=Minnesota}}, and {{Sm|Greward}} placing well at national tournaments. 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}} put out a video of where he reconsiders Piranha Plant's standing, believing that it is now a mid-tier character. In the current meta however, Brood has dropped Piranha Plant in favor of {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}, leaving Piranha Plant's representation relatively stagnant once again, even with previous updates giving numerous buffs. As a result, Piranha Plant's current standing in the meta is up to debate.

Winning tournaments without notable players present is generally not enough to warrant a spot.-->
