In spite of this perception, {{Sm|Raito}} achieved a great deal of success with the character, notably placing 5th at one of the most important events in the early metagame, {{Trn|EVO 2019}}. Outside of Raito, the character was largely limited to strong regional results and the occasional top 48 at a major. | In spite of this perception, {{Sm|Raito}} achieved a great deal of success with the character, notably placing 5th at one of the most important events in the early metagame, {{Trn|EVO 2019}}.

Since 2020, Raito's success, and as a result, Duck Hunt's relevance in the metagame has gradually declined, with a few notable exceptions. Players like {{Sm|embo_z}} and {{Sm|Jagabata}} have achieved some significant regional results, with {{Sm|Sekai Doggo}}, notably winning the first, and to date only, superregional by a solo Duck Hunt player at {{Trn|Ultra Hard}} and {{Sm|mzk}} placing in the top 8 of the major {{Trn|Maesuma'GRAND WARS}} | Since 2020, Raito's success, and as a result, Duck Hunt's relevance in the metagame has gradually declined, with a few notable exceptions.

Duck Hunt's worst flaws remain mostly unaddressed, such as their mediocre KO potential and below-average ground game, the current consensus is that they are lower mid tier characters, ranking 65th on the current tier list, despite the occasional strong result. | Duck Hunt's worst flaws remain mostly unaddressed, such as their mediocre KO potential and below-average ground game, the current consensus is that they are lower mid tier characters, ranking 65th on the current tier list, despite the occasional strong result. |
