Despite being a lower mid tier character in ''SSB4'', Little Mac received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition to ''Ultimate'' that resulted in him generally being viewed as being nerfed overall. While he has received useful direct buffs, he received heavy nerfs to his damage output and combo potential. In addition, the universal engine changes in ''Ultimate'' hinder him more so than help him, which is noticeable by how most of the cast benefits from said changes in comparison to him. | Despite being a lower mid-tier character in ''SSB4'', Little Mac received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition to ''Ultimate'' that resulted in him generally being viewed as being nerfed overall.

However, since update 3.1.0 granted useful buffs to Little Mac's ground game, his almost nonexistent representation improved to the point of gaining dedicated mains who have achieved impressive results in both regional and national tournaments. | However, since update 3.1.0 granted useful buffs to Little Mac's ground game, his almost nonexistent representation improved to the point of gaining dedicated mains who have achieved impressive results in both regional and national tournaments. Although after 3.1.0 granted his buff, 4.0.0 however received his first nerf to his jab. The manual input on jab can actually combo but due to nerfing it, it cannot combo much anymore. Players knew at that time that Little Mac wasn't as useful after this. His tier placement from the patch to the present day, players consider him a bottom 5 character, with most players even considering him as the worst character of all of ''Ultimate'' timeline. | ||
