I don't think he was necessarily the weakest, just a lot more technical. He has a lot of moves that give him invincibility frames that allow him to simultaneously dodge attacks while dishing damage that you have to learn how to utilize. The spear ability on the other hand, which is what Waddle Dee uses, is just ridiculously easy to use to the point that it seems like the best ability in the game. I don't think they're actually all that different in power though, just ease of use.
In regards to the Smash version of Meta Knight, though, he's actually already kind of auto-nerfed by proxy of the fact that the gliding mechanic has been cut, drastically reducing his recovery ability. His recovery special might actually need to be changed to compensate a little.
