As the metagame advanced, however, players quickly recognized the exploitable weaknesses of Meta Knight: his terrible endurance, watered down punish game, weak overall damage output, limited combo starters outside of dash attack and down-throw, and poor range compared to other swordfighters like {{SSBU|Cloud}}. This led many of his most notable players from ''Smash 4'', such as {{Sm|Rags}}, {{Sm|AC}}, and {{Sm|Tyrant}}, to drop him or relocate him to a pocket. This resulted in him being worse than initially imagined, with many top professionals designating him as a mid or even a low tier character. | As the metagame advanced, however, players quickly recognized the exploitable weaknesses of Meta Knight: his terrible endurance, watered down punish game, weak overall damage output, limited combo starters outside of dash attack and down-throw, and poor range compared to other swordfighters like {{SSBU|Cloud}}.

Despite this, he has amassed a respectable playerbase in Ultimate and achieved notable results from players such as {{Sm|Abadango}}, {{Sm|Soar}}, {{Sm|BONK!}}, and {{Sm|Yei}}. Abadango notably placed 2nd and 3rd at {{Trn|Kagaribi 8}} and {{Trn|VCA 2022}}, respectively, after a period of dormancy with Meta Knight which called into reevaluations of the character.
