In the early metagame, most players believed Duck Hunt were worse than they were in ''SSB4'' due to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s game mechanics encouraging more aggressive gameplay, which contrasted Duck Hunt's more campy playstyle. Despite this, Duck Hunt's playerbase, most notably {{Sm|Raito}}, showed that their buffs from ''SSB4'' ensured their viability. As a result, Duck Hunt's perception in the community improved, with most people believing that they were as viable as they were in ''SSB4''. | In the early metagame, most players believed Duck Hunt were worse than they were in ''SSB4'' due to ''Ultimate''{{'}}s game mechanics encouraging more aggressive gameplay, which contrasted Duck Hunt's more campy playstyle.

However, Duck Hunt's results have since seen a slow decline, due to their playerbase stagnating and Raito's results declining. When coupled with Duck Hunt's worst flaws remaining mostly unaddressed, such as their mediocre KO potential and below-average ground game, the current consensus is that they are lower mid tier characters. | However, Duck Hunt's results have since seen a slow decline, due to their playerbase stagnating and Raito's results declining.
