During the early metagame, players had high hopes for Little Mac due to improvements to his notoriously awful recovery and ability to cancel grounded moves. However, Little Mac's changes and the game’s mechanics proved to be detrimental to some of his best tools, especially his ground game, while his weak aerial game, notoriously the worst in ''Smash 4'', was made even worse. Because of this, opinions on Little Mac dropped significantly, with the consensus believing that he is not only a bottom tier, but the worst character in the game. | During the early metagame, players had high hopes for Little Mac due to improvements to his notoriously awful recovery and ability to cancel grounded moves.

<!--NOTE: Do not add Peanut here. Our recently | <!--NOTE: Do not add Peanut here. Our recently reformed guidelines have requirements for players to have achieved significant results in high-calibre tournaments, including significance related to other users of the character historically, and a significantly higher preference for offline results, particularly when the character in question (such as Little Mac) has had much of their metagame seen offline. Peanut, at the present time, does not adequately satisfy either of these requirements. | ||
