As a reflection of this, Meta Knight has an incredible [[matchup]] spread, with Meta Knight arguably winning every single matchup in the game. Meta Knight's attributes and toolset overall give him the tools he needs to overcome or even dominate other members of the cast and while some characters can exploit Meta Knight's weaknesses, he can also exploit their weaknesses to an even greater degree. The only matchup which is arguably considered not winning for Meta Knight is {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} as a single mistake from Meta Knight should result in a stock loss for him with the Ice Climbers' incredible grab game. Meta Knight however can play around the Ice Climbers well and if Meta Knight separates the Ice Climbers, he can easily KO the partner climber from there, and a solo climber is helpless against Meta Knight. This matchup overall is often considered to be slightly in Meta Knight's favor although the matchup is close and an argument could be made for the Ice Climbers winning or at least going even. {{SSBB|Pikachu}} was also once considered to be a potentially even matchup for Meta Knight (even being listed as such on the [[Character matchup (SSBB)|2013 Smash Back Room matchup chart]]) although by the end of the game's life, this matchup was considered winning for Meta Knight. | As a reflection of this, Meta Knight has an incredible [[matchup]] spread, with Meta Knight arguably winning every single matchup in the game.

As a result of all of this, Meta Knight received the most representation and success in tournaments in the game by far, to the point of over-centralization of the [[metagame]], reflected by Meta Knight being placed in his own tier, SS, at the very top of the 2013 tier list. Meta Knight's general unpopularity in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' community (he was and is considered "[[broken]]" by many players) led to him being the first character in any ''Smash'' game to be banned, between January 9th, 2012 and April 16, 2012, at which point the [[Unity Ruleset]] which enacted the ban was disbanded. This makes Meta Knight, {{SSB4|Cloud}}, {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} and {{SSBU| | As a result of all of this, Meta Knight received the most representation and success in tournaments in the game by far, to the point of over-centralization of the [[metagame]], reflected by Meta Knight being placed in his own tier, SS, at the very top of the 2013 tier list.

This makes Meta Knight, {{SSB4|Cloud}}, {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, {{SSBU|Hero}} and {{SSBU|Steve}} the only characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series who have been banned from a standardized tournament ruleset, although Bayonetta and Hero's respective bans were far less prominent and Cloud was exclusively banned in doubles. Overall, Meta Knight's incredible strengths and minor weaknesses have led many to consider him to be not only the best character in the game, but also arguably the best character in the entire ''Smash'' series. | ||
