Wii Fit Trainer remained one of the most obscure characters throughout ''SSB4''{{'}}s lifetime, despite some brief flashes of success. While players pointed out her decent camping potential courtesy of [[Sun Salutation]] and [[Header]], [[Deep Breathing]]'s healing and temporary buff abilities, potentially powerful combos when given the opportunity, and her fast frame data, most have argued that her disadvantages were too significant in competitive play. Her scarce combo options mixed with her overall moveset's minuscule hitboxes (most notably her grab before update 1.1.0, alongside up smash) resulted in Wii Fit Trainer being extremely difficult to utilize. As such, her playerbase was rather perpetually meager throughout the game’s competitive lifespan, in spite of notable players’ efforts such as {{Sm|John Numbers}} and {{Sm|Waveguider}}.

Even when Wii Fit Trainer achieved notable results at national-tournaments such as EVO 2015, her very minimal representation reflected her status as a low-tier character throughout ''SSB4''{{'}}s lifespan, demonstrated with her initial ranking relegating her to 39th on the first [[tier list]]. The addition of DLC characters served mostly to harm her, as she did not possess a single favorable matchup out of all of them. {{SSB4|Cloud}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} were commonplace in many tournamnets, and could easily wall out against Wii Fit Trainer, even with the aid of Sun Salutation enhancing her damage output. As a result of her being unable to reliably break through top-tier staples, she tied with {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}} for 46th/47th on the second tier list. Without significant advancements to her metagame, she dropped to 49th on the third tier list and then 51st on the fourth and final tier list.

Since then, Wii Fit Trainer players have failed to develop notable breakthroughs to their camping and combo abilities while her limitations were only further highlighted. This is further demonstrated by other lower-tiered characters achieving more notable success than her, which included achievements like {{Sm|zaki}}’s 17th-place run with {{SSB4|King Dedede}} at {{Trn|2GG: Hyrule Saga}}, {{Sm|Gungnir}}’s 17th-place finish at {{Trn|Umebura Japan Major}} with {{SSB4|Ganondorf}}, and {{Sm|Captain L}} being ranked on the [[Panda Global Rankings 100]] with {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}} (although the latter needed to complement his results with {{SSB4|Jigglypuff}}). As such, most professionals maintain that her current placement is accurate, while other players argue her strong placements at select tournaments (such as EVO 2015) warrant a slightly higher placement. Regardless, Wii Fit Trainer has heavily struggled to find success throughout the metagame as a result of her shallow combo tree and meager hitboxes.
