 Since the release of ''Ultimate'', several professionals immediately noticed Kirby's significant flaws from the previous installment had been retained, in spite of the mechanics suiting him better in comparison to ''SSB4''. In addition, players notified his vulnerability to being camped, poor range, slow air speed, as well as platforms potentially negating all follow-ups should he start a combo with a forward throw. Despite some representation and decent results from players such as {{Sm|Jesuischoq}} and {{Sm|Ferretkuma}}, most of the community considered Kirby to be a low or bottom-tier in the early metagame, with some going as far as to consider Kirby could be one of the worst characters in the game.
-However, Kirby would receive significant buffs in balance patches, more than almost every other character, especially in patches 6.0.0 and 8.0.0. These patches would give him major improvements, improving his overall frame data and KO power and the versatility to his aerial attacks, partially restoring his ability to follow-up on platforms, and gaining additional options for KO confirms, as seen with his neutral, forward and up aerials, dash attack, down smash and Inhale, which received faster start-up or ending lag and became stronger. In addition, although Kirby's representation remained rather small and was often in the bottom 10, he began seeing more success both online and offline from players such as {{Sm|Guilheww}} and {{Sm|JeJaJeJa}}, who were able to achieve strong results with him in national tournaments and in majors. These small positives were enough to raise opinions on the character slightly. As such, although Kirby continues to have little impact on the metagame, he is no longer considered a candidate for the worst character in the game. This is reflected in Kirby's placement on the first tier list, where he is ranked 76th as a low-tier character, and he rose just one position in the second and current tier list, although gradually improving results from dedicated players have led a few players to believe Kirby should be ranked higher.
