Wii Fit Trainer was generally considered to be a mid tier character upon ''Ultimate''{{'}}s release. She received noteworthy buffs from game updates, particularly updates {{SSBU|3.0.0}} and {{SSBU|8.0.0}}.

In particular, some are still dubious of Wii Fit Trainer's potential, owing to her retention of a few glaring weaknesses that sometimes result in extremely polarizing matchups. | ||
