It's not that he's easy to use(getting REALLY good with him does take difficulty) it's that he wins everything, BUT, not all the high tier is because of Meta Knight(though Wolf's high raise of 6 places was effected by his even matchup with MK), notice, how Snake was #2 for a LONG time(now #3), even though he has a disadvantage from Meta Knight, he is STILL top tier, and Meta Knight going away wouldn't change his position, same with Diddy Kong, and Falco. Although if a character does do better if they have a better match up against MK than others, it more matters on the amount of high tier characters they can face. Pikachu for example, 50-50 matchup with Snake and MK, Advantage over all Starfox characters, and advantage over King DDD. Another thing is, some characters have HUGE potential, but it hasn't seen play. For example Fox, in Japan, he's #5, here, he's #15. If people don't play a character, the character can't be high tier. There's my tier opinion.
Side Note: Pika may have a similar spot as MK, but, not many people play competitive SSB 64.
