From ''Ultimate'', hopes were high on Little Mac when the game was released, due to improvements to his notoriously awful recovery. However, the game’s mechanics proved to downgrade some of his best tools (such as his ground game) while his aerial game’s weaknesses were only further worsened. Thus, his perception underwent an overwhelming decline, with the general perception of him being not only a bottom tier, but extended to the point that he could be the absolute worst character in the game. | From ''Ultimate'', hopes were high on Little Mac when the game was released, due to improvements to his notoriously awful recovery.

Patch 3.1.0 granted Mac useful, yet significant buffs.

These revamped his ground game to be more daunting than before, which includes revamping his neutral attack, down and forward tilts, as well as diminishing lag from his special attacks. As such, he started to appear more often and his results are improving, also thanks to dedicated mains such as Kwaz, Tarakotori, Kala and Mr. Newport, so professionals have begun to acknowledge the significance of his gameplay, citing that his placement is inaccurate and think of him as a low tier character instead of a bottom tier, while VoiD sees him as a mid tier character thanks to his improved results. However, Little Mac is still hindered by his abysmal air game and an improved but inconsistent recovery, resulting in him having poor matchups across the cast who can effectively deal with these weaknesses. | ||
Little Mac's representation, while still poor in top-level play, manages to get solid results both in regionals and in nationals. While professionals say that he is no longer the worst character overall, some still consider his cons to be too detrimental to allow him to rise any higher. | Little Mac's representation, while still poor in top-level play, manages to get solid results both in regionals and in nationals.
