Meta Knight to be Overplayed?

[heytallman]

It seems like everyone seems to want to use/main Meta Knight. Does anyone think that he will become this game's version of Fox or Marth? Don't get me wrong, I love Fox and Marth, but it just seems like a lot of people use them. Your thoughts?

[fire_wulf]

MK and Sonic will be greatly overplayed, in my opinion. especially online. They are characters that are good without a lot of practice and can be picked up by noobs and they can have fun with them. So unfortunately.. as much as i plan on making MK one of my mains... he will be overplayed.

[ArtieBoy]

im going to play with him but he wont be my main

[Desruprot]

I defenitly will play as him, if I can get good enough, I might main him...

[Brawleri]

I will main him, and i really think too many ppl will be TRYING to main him first.

When some ppl realize how weak KO power MK has, some will probably stop trying to main him =), he maybe good for starter, but it seems he has some things that need mastering. And that's what i like.

I've always loved MK in kirby games, and he wasn't playable in many games. I was so happy that he came in brawl!

[AfroThunder396]

Im certainly going to give him first priority to be my main. I honestly think once a get a few hours of solid playing time down the KO'ing wont be an issue (its all about timing). If it doesn't work though, I might switch my main over to Diddy (combo machine), Pokemon Trainer (3 for 1), or Captain Falcon (my Melee main) if he's in.

But yeah, he's definately going to be the main of choice, at least for the first 3 months.

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

No.

[Lgndknight]

really, everybody is going to at least try Metaknight, the hype is too great not to. however, a few will stick wih him, myself included(hopefully). I plan to use Metaknight because I like the way Jiggs plays, which is kinda floaty and able to stick it out. some people might like Ike (pat on the back for reference) for his ability to KO at ridiculous percents. Or some people might use Mario for his all-roundedness. and to Firewulf, it's both stupid and arrogant to assume any newcomer is pick-up and play, before the game comes out.

[saratos]

He will only be overplayed if he is good. So far, we can only gauge him off of his noob-friendlyness.

[MRun]

I fear that Meta Knight will suffer from "Sheik Syndrome." From the demo, it already looks like he has the most easily spammable Special attacks, so I wouldn't be surprised if spiters start calling him a "n00b character," as they did with Sheik in Melee.

But, I plan on using him anyways. I'm proud to say that I'm one of the load of people who actually wanted him playable back when the game was tentatively titled "Super Smash Bros. Revolution," and I'm still eager to use him.

[RoxasXIII]

this is a big reason y they should put in as many characters as they can in brawl. the use of characters would be more spread out, so even if it my not change the fact that you want to play as mk, it might make others decide to change, so, the more the merrier!

also, so far, gonna main meta knight. :)

the weak ko power is one of the reasons why i won't main him. Wil i use him... hell yeah!:laugh:

[Psydon]

Metaknight will definitely be overplayed, but I'm actually glad about it.

Think about it. New people will turn to Metaknight because "he's so fast", thinking that they can do to people what others have done with Fox, Sheik and Marth. But they'll swiftly realize that Metaknight, while easy to pick up and play, is far from being anything like his Melee counterparts.

You wanna know who I am worried about? Sonic. Given Gimpy's description, he seems like he might be the new Falco.

[geemann2236]

He is an easy character to pick up, but people are gonna eventually realize how weak his KO power is, and thus are going to eventually stop overusing him.

[airgemini]

Yeah I think that him and Pit will be the main attraction for awhile...But they might switch eventually.

As you can see... a good number of people also believe that MK can be a pick up and play character. I really don't see my self as being arrogant and stupid for saying this. I am making this opinion off of the numerous videos from E4 all that i have watched. It just seemed that people could combo very easily with MK without having a lot of time to practice.

I am not bashing MK as seeing as i will be playing him consistently.. I am just saying he seems he will be a lot like sheik and be kind to n00bs

[Dark Meta-Knight]

I can tell you right now, I'll over use MK.. and Pit. Now, if Isaac is confirmed, then he'll be my favorite character.

[linkrulezz]

i stil wil main link cause he rocks
but i definitly try meta knight to

[edde]

metaknght seems to be th ebest starter mainly because his forward smahs seems like marth's, also, he is kirby floaty with a disjointedh itbox (sword), and seems to be a greta character to pull out some wicked combos, he does look like a top tier character, but nobody knows who are hidden ones, so, as they appear, metaknight might lose fans and there will maybe be better characters than what everybody thinks of him so far

[Machspeed]

I doubt he'll be overused. Meta Knight may rack up damage percentages quite fast, but when it comes down to KOing, he needs enemies to be very high to kill them. Now, I'm not saying it's impossible to get kills; he is a great character for people beginning to brawl to play.

People will eventually become impatient with his low KO rates, and switch off. However, not all will switch off. Those who do like his gameplay will master him, and will find ways to KO and play him well. Will be overused in the beginning but a month or two into the games release, it'll be down to those who really want to play him, maining him.

you pretty much summed it all up, i agree completely

My point being that E4All might have had something to do with being able to balance characters, or change them. Comparing him to Sheik, and I'll be kind as possible... Shiek has the ability to be aerial based. You seem to know your way around the newcomers enough to know, Metaknight isn't so hot in the air. while the game isn't out yet, we can safely assume they won't change too much, if any. Also, nobody had any Bralw experience, so Metaknight sould fulfill his purpose as a comboer. but later when people get a chance to observe, they will learn.

I play some n00bs that use sheiks ground based moves cuz they don't get the aerial aspect. However.. i feel that MK will be able to do both. the ability to air dodge, jump, air dodge all without touching the ground can lead to some very good air combos along with his >B.

I see MK as being a great pro character and a pick up and play.... both will play completely different. But .. unfortunately.... MK will be overplayed.

[Viral]

I'd like to main Metaknight or Sonic but after hearing what people have to say about them the whole overplayed thing is a bit off putting. I know you should just use whoever you want regardless of how popular they are, but I don't want to constantly go into random games full of Metaknights, Sonics and probably Pits.

[geemann2236]

Yeah I think that him and Pit will be the main attraction for awhile...But they might switch eventually.

Here are the differences between Pit and MK:
Pit has a ranged weapon in addition to melee weapons.
Pit actually has KOability.

Pit is not underpowered in any way, he was actually my favorite character at E-4-All.

[CHAOSDRAGON88]

Yeah but i think his casual (Not normal) fanbase is going to be based on his appeareance.

I don't he has a tipper. can somebody confrim he doesn't have a tipper?

[ShuffleTrain]

Majority of the people who will buy and play Brawl, will most deffinitly play as MetaKnight a lot.
(purely for appearance)

I know some kid in my town that only plays Fox for his fsmash. It's apparnetly just so darn cool.
(keep rolling around him for funny affect XD)

[brawlmaniac]

I think he'll be overplayed when the game first comes out. Shortly after though, the people who play as him will see that he doesn't have any really strong ko moves.

[BananaNut]

You wanna know who I am worried about? Sonic. Given Gimpy's description, he seems like he might be the new Falco.

Ah, but He's not fast in the air.

DENIED!

[mattram08]

I think that the most overplayed characters will be MK and Sonic. I feel bad admitting, but I'm going to be adding to both those numbers. I'm torn between MK and Sonic. I'm thinking about making one of them my main. I'm gonna do some experimenting with both and if I decide I'm good enough I'll pick one. I do have a back-up plan. If I look like a noob playing with MK and Sonic I'll have to fall back on my classic main Fox (who is also overplayed). I gotta stop using these overplayed characters. The Ice Climbers maybe lol

[Gerudo Warrior]

man. there are gonna be so many sonic mainers is's not funny. i don't think he is gonna be overplayed. some high class smashers will play sonic there will be a FLUDD of noobs. (see what i did there?) i don't think he will be overplayed. all the noobs will migrate to sonic

[Silver Flame]

It is likely that MK will be overused. He has some very good qualites, High speed, good range, multiple jumps, gliding, floaty(if you want to consider it good or bad is up to you), good specials. There is a lot to like. However, this is not why I will main MK. I have wanted to main MK from the moment I saw he was a newcomer in the first video. So if he is overused, whatever. That just means a lot of people see a lot of good qualites in him. If they want to play him then let them and don't worry about it. He could be bottom tier(*coughyeahrightcough*) and i would still main him.

[SilverKnight]

I hope he is, it will be all the more challenging for me to become the greatest Meta Knight main XD.

I look foreward to challenging you all. Hahahaha. *cough*

Yes, he will be naturally because he is one of the coolest looking characters in Brawl thus far in my opinion, and has a large focus with the SSE, seeing how his Ship is a pivotal aspect.

He will most likely play the on the fence Hero/ villian rival type who joins you in the end, you know the type XD

And by that nature, popular. You know equate it with Protoman, and Shadow The Hedgehog.

That, or just as villianous as he was in Revenge of the Meta Knight.

In any scenario he will be a badass, and this will attract players to him.

[fums63]

my main in the other 2 smashes was overplayed... but with meta knight at first i was excited but everyone thought pit looked cooler. then his special moves didnt look too interesting to me but after seeing the youtube videos he looks great.

[motherfan]

Yes. They proboly will. Don't worry about me though, because I'll be maining Lucas.;)

[heytallman]

Yes. They proboly will. Don't worry about me though, because I'll be maining Lucas.;)

Ah Lucas, nice. I'll probably end up making him my secondary (provided that Jiggz is in) because Ness was my 2nd in Melee, and things ain't lookin so hot for Ness right now. So, looks like I'll probably be "stuck" with Lucas (although he does look really cool)

[PyroRyuken]

Im certainly going to give him first priority to be my main. I honestly think once a get a few hours of solid playing time down the KO'ing wont be an issue (its all about timing). If it doesn't work though, I might switch my main over to Diddy (combo machine), Pokemon Trainer (3 for 1), or Captain Falcon (my Melee main) if he's in.

But yeah, he's definately going to be the main of choice, at least for the first 3 months.

Same here. I'm glad that Metaknight has some kind of downside. otherwise he would be cheap and I wouldn't want to main him.

[OmegaSephiroth]

We'll see. Depends how good he is.

[kemkian]

:chuckle:i don't care. while you guys are playing as Meta-Knight, i'll be killing you as lucario.:chuckle:
