He was one of the first notable Meta Knight players, playing him in the early months of competitive ''Ultimate'' and placing 25th at {{Trn|Frostbite 2019}}. He dropped him in mid-2019 but brought him back into his roster in mid-2022, where he used primarily Meta Knight to place 2nd at {{Trn|Kagaribi 8}}, defeating several of Japan's best players at that time, which remains the best tournament performance from a Meta Knight player. Alongside his 3rd-place finish at {{Trn|VCA 2022}}, his results helped improve Meta Knight's perception in the community, though he eventually relegated Meta Knight to a pocket once again in mid-2023. Nevertheless, he remains the only Meta Knight player ever ranked in the top 50. | ||

He was ranked 143rd on the [[OrionRank Mid-Year 2022]] as the first solo-Meta Knight player ranked globally; however, he was not ranked on the full-year ranking. | *{{Sm|BONK!|USA}} - One of the best Meta Knight players in North America.

*{{Sm|Metara|Japan}} - The best Meta Knight player in the post-pandemic metagame, especially since Abadango dropped the character in 2023. Although inconsistent, he has seen some of the best Meta Knight performances of all-time, including winning {{Trn|Ruyubura! Part 2}}, the first ranked event won by a solo-Meta Knight player; placing 13th at {{Trn|Smash Awesome!}}; 17th at {{Trn|Seibugeki 18}} and {{Trn|UltCore Fourth}}, defeating {{Sm|Raki}} at the latter; and upsetting {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}} at {{Trn|Kagaribi 10}}.
