This opinion declined greatly by the end of 2019 as issues with Banjo & Kazooie's damage output and frame data became increasingly apparent, leading many players to drop them. Banjo & Kazooie's representation remained stagnant for the next few years, and while players such as {{Sm|OwlBBs}} and {{Sm|Wolfen}} found great success with the duo online and offline, as time went on both players began playing other characters alongside Banjo & Kazooie, or began slowly relegating the character to a secondary.

After his breakout event at {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 12}}, Toriguri began making waves at Japanese events, eventually becoming the first solo-Banjo & Kazooie player to top 8 a major at {{Trn|Maesuma TOP 14}}, and finishing the year at 54th on the [[LumiRank 2024]], the first time a solo-Banjo & Kazooie player was ranked in the top 100 globally. These results led the duo to rise four spots on the second tier list, ranking 62nd in the C- tier. Following the second tier list's release, Toriguri's performances gained even greater recognition, especially after his run at {{Trn|Battle of BC 6}}, where he surprised international audiences by 3-0ing {{Sm|MkLeo}} and placing 5th.

Conversely, other players pointed out how Toriguri's best wins were on players who had little to no experience on fighting Banjo & Kazooie, with players bringing up how Toriguri regularly has trouble against {{Sm|Gorioka}}'s {{SSBU|Joker}} despite dominantly defeating MkLeo.
