Banjo & Kazooie were initially met with a mildly positive reception due to their strong and flexible moves (such as forward aerial, forward tilt, smash attacks, [[Wonderwing]], and [[Rear Egg]]), their ability to zone and edge trap effectively, and their versatile recovery. However, the duo's flaws, including their below-average speed, problems with juggling and scoring KOs, fairly noticeable lag on their moves, and a barely adequate grab game, were also noted. This has led to Banjo & Kazooie garnering below-average results compared to the rest of the cast, although they had some notable success from players such as {{Sm|huto}}, {{Sm|Raito}}, and {{Sm|Trela}}; {{Sm|Tweek}} also utilized Banjo & Kazooie at {{Trn|Glitch 7 - Minus World}}, although he promptly dropped them following that tournament. As a result, the early consensus posited the duo within the lower end of high tier at best and within the mid tier at worst. | Banjo & Kazooie were initially met with a mildly positive reception due to their strong and flexible moves (such as forward aerial, forward tilt, smash attacks, [[Wonderwing]], and [[Rear Egg]]), their ability to zone and edge trap effectively, and their versatile recovery.

However, by the end of 2019, Banjo & Kazooie saw a decline in both results and reception, with many players dropping the duo. Many players believe that they are only at their strongest in an online environment due to the input lag benefitting their most useful attacks. Conversely, others believe that Banjo & Kazooie fluctuate between the lower end of the mid tier and the low tier. Although Banjo & Kazooie are generally considered respectable fighters, their viability as a solo main has been questioned due to their best players often co-maining them or using them as a secondary. Despite this perception, {{Sm|Toriguri}} has managed to consistently achieve success at major tournaments while using Banjo & Kazooie as his sole main ever since the early metagame.
