I'm curious, did that happen with any other characters? Or the reverse - top to bottom?
kirby was fucking stupid in 64 and he got meganerfed and never really recovered
mario and luigi were typically pretty bad but in 4 and ultimate they're actually pretty good
link is finally pretty legitimately good in ultimate, with a good recovery for the first time
game & watch was pretty bad in melee despite his strengths, getting decently buffed in brawl, nerfed down to mediocre in the next game, and now he's just actually pretty damn good and considered high-tier
pokemon trainer lost its glaring weaknesses and is now one of the best in the game

there's a ton of examples i haven't named as well
there's a lot of big changes in the quality of characters in ultimate, with a lot of long-time bad characters being buffed quite significantly (except for kirby for some reason)
the only people who are still bad even with all the updates are k rool and little mac, probably (plant's not great but it has a healthy amount of buffs and once its playerbase finally grows there might be something seen)
honestly, a ton of good characters in melee got hugely nerfed in brawl due to all the changes to the engine, and a few low-tiers like game & watch maanged to actually get buffed for it
