When ''Ultimate'' got released, many players noticed that Meta Knight was then thought to be better. This was seen to his outstanding recovery, great frame data, and great mobility. Due to many smaller characters getting emphasized more, Meta Knight had better matchups against people who struggle against short characters, such as {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}. Because of this, many players considered Meta Knight as a solid high-tier character, who is not as strong or broken as his ''Brawl'' counterpart, but just as, if not better than his ''Smash 4'' counterpart. | When ''Ultimate'' got released, many players noticed that Meta Knight was then thought to be better.

Unfortunately, as the meta advanced, players recognized the exploitable weaknesses of Meta Knight: his terrible endurance, watered down punish game, lack of effective finishers outside of forward smash, below-average damage output, poor range compared to other swordfighters like {{SSBU|Cloud}}, and moves unsafe on block. This resulted in him being worse than initially imagined, with many professionals calling him a mid tier or a low tier. Despite this, he has amassed a respectable playerbase and has gathered notable results from players such as {{Sm|Jayy}}, {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|Slither2Hunter}}, {{Sm|BONK!}}, and {{Sm|Yei}}. | Unfortunately, as the meta advanced, players recognized the exploitable weaknesses of Meta Knight: his terrible endurance, watered down punish game, lack of effective finishers outside of forward smash, below-average damage output, poor range compared to other swordfighters like {{SSBU|Cloud}}, and moves unsafe on block.

It is debatable where he truly stands compared to the rest of the cast. | ||
