However, Corrin's reception would turn around with the release of patch 8.0.0, where his KO power and Dragon Lunge were improved. Although the patch took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, Corrin began seeing improving results from Cosmos, who mained Corrin throughout most of the online metagame. Following the return of offline competitive play, Corrin saw further success from old players such as {{Sm|Ly}} and {{Sm|SHADIC}} and gained new players such as {{Sm|MkLeo}}, who co-mained Corrin in the first half of 2022, and {{Sm|Neo|p=Japan}}, who established himself as one of the best Corrin players in the world by early-2023 despite having started seriously competing only months prior. This led to a renaissance period for Corrin, who swiftly saw more and more representation as time went on, a remarkable improvement from Corrin's near-nonexistent playerbase from the early metagame and one of the most significant turnarounds of any character's overall representation across any ''Smash'' game. These marked changes caused the community to reassess the character to a mid-tier, with some going as far as to say Corrin could be ranked as a high-tier. This is reflected in Corrin's first tier list placement, where he was ranked 42nd out of 82 in B+ tier. | However, Corrin's reception would turn around with the release of patch 8.0.0, where his KO power and Dragon Lunge were improved.

During the middle of 2023, an explosion of Corrin results took place thanks to Neo and SHADIC, both of whom placed or had placed top 8 at several majors throughout the year, with SHADIC especially becoming one of the year's biggest rising stars. This explosion of results led to Corrin's rise to 27th on the second tier list into the A- tier, tying {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} as the second-highest rise between the first and second tier lists. These incredible performances then continued into the first half of 2024, especially as SHADIC established himself as a top 10 player and won {{Trn|Cirque Du CFL 3}}, the first major ever won by a solo-Corrin player, while {{Sm|Sparg0}} briefly used Corrin as a counterpick for certain matchups. Though Corrin's results took a dip in the second half of the year, owing to Sparg0 dropping the character, Neo's inconsistent performances, and SHADIC's small decline due to his studies, | During the middle of 2023, an explosion of Corrin results took place thanks to Neo and SHADIC, both of whom placed or had placed top 8 at several majors throughout the year, with SHADIC especially becoming one of the year's biggest rising stars.

As such, in spite of already rising greatly between the first and second lists, many players continue to believe that Corrin should rise even further, though how much remains a debate. | ||
