Possibly due to his dominance in ''Brawl'', Meta Knight has been significantly nerfed from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''. Many of his attacks are slightly slower, and his range has been noticeably shortened, forcing him to take a more aggressive play style. His attacks no longer have [[transcendent priority]]. He has lost the ability to glide, toning down his recovery. [[Mach Tornado]], a staple in ''Brawl,'' has less momentum and higher ending lag, removing his dominance in the neutral game. These changes have also left him more vulnerable to camping strategies. | Possibly due to his dominance in ''Brawl'', Meta Knight has been significantly nerfed from ''Brawl'' to ''SSB4''.

Meta Knight is currently ranked 14th, placing him in the B tier. Meta Knight still has numerous strengths, such as his combos from ''Brawl,'' and his deadly edge-guarding game. He has received several buffs to his KO moves as well, with his forward smash and back aerial now dealing more knockback, and [[Shuttle Loop]] deals more damage, has increased range and much higher knockback scaling. As a result, he has a powerful punishing ability. Most importantly, his air speed has been greatly increased, now being roughly average, whereas it was tied for the third slowest in ''Brawl''. Even with the loss of many of his advantages, his strengths heavily outweigh his flaws; this has translated to his tournament status, in which he has secured strong representation and noteworthy results | Meta Knight is currently ranked 14th, placing him in the B tier.
