So Meta Knight is a pretty good combo character. What character would be best against Meta Knight?

You are right, skill does matter a great deal. A skilled player using a low tier character can beat an unskilled player using a high tier character; however, when one asks for a counter to a particular character, (s)he generally assumes that said character is being played by someone who is able to use that character to the fullest. By extension, it is generally assumed that the "counter character" is being played by a character of equal skill.everyone, if you are a good player
nobody, if you are a bad player
**** off tiers, tiers doesnt matter, skill does
What exactly makes your guess educated...The answer, of course, is one that I cannot answer, seeing as how I have yet to get the game. However, if I were to make an educated guess, I'd have to agree with most of the previous posters that any heavy character with decent recovery such as R.O.B or DDD would be the most effective counters to Meta Knight. Both characters are heavy, making them difficult for Meta Knight to knock off, while, at the same time, having good recovery, making it difficult for Meta Knight to edge guard them.
Nah man, not D3. The only thing good about Meta against DDD is his speed and beatsly non-ending combos.Yeah seems like DDD and ROB would be tough for Meta.

lmao i hope you did that on purpose.tires don exits
no no you misunderstand.i agree w/you entirely on snake and his moves can be fast but when i said slow i mean you can beat them out unlike some of ikes(s.armor)due to metas pokes from moves like his f-air,etc.(wich can be spaced easily).I said it's not hard to avoid Snake's attacks, but his best ones certainly aren't slow. I consider his uair to be one of the best in the game, and it's wicked fast (and awesome range). His bair is just as fast, though with a little less knockback. And those mines of his will kill you and all he has to do is press a button.
They aren't slow, but not necessarily hard to avoid.
Good points on Ike, though.
ah i see someone has finally metioned this. zeldas projectile(djins fire) can mean a very quick death for unwary meta players.like lucas sometimes the only option you are given is to air dodge =0Pit, Zelda and are pretty difficult for metaknight since they have projectiles while metaknight doesnt. Both are quite good in the air as well, mainly Pit.
I might say Bowser is troublesome too. Bowser's harmless when you're away from range. Sadly, Metaknight has to get close to Bowser and his brute strength and Tank-like armor.
ill have to agree that meta > marth.its incredibly easy to out prioritize him and most of all gimp marth at very low percents.i myself have killed marths at 32% off the edge consecutively!It's funny how some are saying Marth,
I was looking at a similar thread in the Marth forum and they were saying MK is one of Marth's hardest matchups...
Pretty interesting...
Snake is good tho
agreed.pit is probably the easiest char. for me to gimp being that his up has no invincibility frames and is pretty monotone to read =0Pit recovery is actually quite easy to gimp for MK.
