Wii Fit Trainer was generally considered to be a mid tier character upon ''Ultimate''{{'}}s release. However, public opinion of her viability has gradually improved, thanks to her noteworthy buffs from game updates, particularly updates {{SSBU|3.0.0}} and {{SSBU|8.0.0}}. Additionally, she has performed relatively well at the regional level as players such as {{Sm|varun}}, {{Sm|John Numbers}}, {{Sm|Evy}}, and more have ranked highly on their respective Power Rankings throughout ''Ultimate''{{'}}s lifetime. There have also been several breakout performances on the international stage; multiple Wii Fit Trainer players have placed 33rd at S-tier tournaments, and a number of top players have lost to Wii Fit Trainer players in bracket.
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}}. Additionally, she has performed relatively well at the regional level as players such as {{Sm|varun}}, {{Sm|Evy}}, {{Sm|Oolong}}, and more have ranked highly on their respective Power Rankings throughout ''Ultimate''{{'}}s lifetime. While her strongest performances have been at the regional level, she has achieved some breakout performances on the international stage; including a 9th place at major {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 6}} by {{Sm|Injelly}} and a 17th place at the super major {{Trn|Collision 2022}} by {{Sm|John Numbers}}. Despite her buffs, public opinion of Wii Fit Trainer's viability has remained mixed, ranking 57th on the first and current tier list. 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.  
 
Thanks to the combination of her buffs and ever-improving tournament results, public opinion of Wii Fit Trainer's viability has steadily risen over time, ranking 57th on the first and current tier list. Despite this, 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. Nonetheless, Wii Fit Trainer is expected to see a higher level of tournament placings as her metagame develops.
