 Bayonetta was eventually nerfed in update [[1.1.6]] and her tournament results and perception among the community declined as a result. Even so, while her perception suddenly dropped in the eyes of many smashers, it gradually became positive again due to her players adopting a newer, more creative playstyle, similar to {{SSB4|Diddy Kong}} after update [[1.0.8]]. While her results were initially not as amazing as before, her strong tournament representation and results culminated in her being placed at 11th place on the second ''4BR'' tier list. Bayonetta's representation and results would grow even more as time passed, in particular due to {{Sm|Salem}}, {{Sm|CaptainZack}}, {{Sm|Pink Fresh}} and {{Sm|saj}}'s strong results within their regions, with the former two also making it to top eight at two major tournaments. As a result of this, she moved up to 1st on the third tier list, another similarity to Diddy Kong with the previous tier list. This tier rise is the second largest between the second and third tier lists, with players stating that while the nerfs did make a difference in how simple it was to pick her up, they did not hold her back from being the best character in the game.
-At first, opinions on Bayonetta's placing on the tier list were mixed, as some people were in favor of her taking the top spot, whereas others believed that her dominance was not as high as other characters like Diddy Kong and Sheik. However, following Salem's victories at supermajors {{Trn|EVO 2017}} and {{Trn|DreamHack Atlanta 2017}}, most people agreed that she was the best character in the game, which, combined with Bayonetta's more consistent results, allowed her to hold the 1st placing on the fourth and final tier list.

-By the end of the game's main competitive lifespan, Bayonetta's first place status was unchallenged, as numerous top players including {{Sm|MkLeo}} and {{Sm|Tweek}} began using her. Most major tournaments in 2018 had at least two to three Bayonetta players in the top eight, and by the end of the [[PGR v5]] season, there were five players ranked with Bayonetta in the top ten, the most out of all the characters in the game. Her dominance in the metagame gave way to hate from the ''Smash'' community, with a good portion of the community stating that they do not enjoy playing against the character because of her perceived brokenness.

Her extreme dominance in the metagame created a tremendous amount of hate from the ''Smash'' community, with a large portion of the community stating that they do not enjoy playing against the character because of her perceived brokenness.
