Best Partners For MK?

Okay so who do you think are the best teammates for MK? Also state why.

Personally, my friend and I have had success with MK (me) and Ike (him). My friend tries to get heavy smashes and charged attacks off while i keep them somewhat busy. Thanks to MK's speed, i can easily smack people to where i want them to go. Then Ike can just kill most characters at relatively low percentages. I know i'm probably gonna get flamed for saying Ike is a pretty good teammate for MK, but it truly works and he is. The only problem with this team-up is if there are extremely fast chars; other than that, the other best team up seemingly is Wario.

So whats ur opinionated choice of a teammate? :chuckle:

I think that this was discussed before. But anyway, another MK, Snake or G&W are really good partners for MK.

MK I don't need to explain.
Snake because of the C4 + Uthrow(MK). Also because they can have a perfect stage control.
G&W because of the Uthrow(MK) + Up B(G&W).

Snake is the absolute best(see the top8 results at EVO) Wario is second, G&W is third imo.

Honestly though you usually dont have an option between 3 equally talented players with different mains. Just team with whoever is the most skilled that is willing to team with you lol.

Any character that can punish well is a pretty good team character imo.

Snake is ok
Kirby is ok
Falco is pretty good
Marth is Good.
Mk Mk is Good.


Never tried d3 in tournament.

I just prefer Marth because I've teamed with MikeHAZE so much and with some careful spacing his punishes are deadly.

MK is probably the best support character in the game. Thus, he works incredibly well with characters he can compliment/support, or who can kill very easily (preferably both).

Snake, Dedede, Wario, and G&W all stand out.

Nah throw in a Fox with an MK and that is ****, Fox will be able to pick up the kills from the damage that MK's put out.

From whatIi've seen snake + metaknight seems to be the best doubles team. I believe it is better than MK+MK because Snake can hold stock and kill very earlier from the damage MK has built up. IMO MK+Snake> MK+MK

If an MK and Bowser that team up on a regular basis pair up, it can be pretty legit. Bowser's killer tilts after MK racks up damage is obvious. Also the King's huge shield can hold out his partner's nado if said MK has to make a sweep around him.

Diddy Kong and King DDD have the best shields IIRC. And King DDD is much better than Bowser as a partner for MK. :p

Ike...i was MK and we were in a team brawl vs. some people and ike and MK were the perfect team. MK is the complete opposite of ike. Meta's flaws are Ike's strenghs; and Ike's flaws are Meta's Streghs. Meta knight is really light weight, and easy to kill if hit with a falco punch or something, Ike is the opposite, can resist big attacks and heavy weight. Meta has short low damaging quick atacks, and Ike has big high damaging slow attacks. Ike makes up for meta's weeknesses, and Vise Versa.

Hope that helps :)

Meta Knight is obviously the best partner any character besides himself can have. He can tank for you or be the aggressor and he does well in 2 v 1 situations. Picking a partner up for Meta is not too difficult at all since his best partners are in the high or top tier (Those being the most common anyways). The difficulty in choosing a partner comes in the strategies they involve. Each partner brings unique strategies.


Game & Watch- Essentially, this is a team that focuses on Abusive Priority as Meta Knight has transcendental Priority (Nothing clashes) and G&W simply beats out almost everything. He's one of the best doubles partners only if the player is any good with him. Considering his lightweight hurt-box, the player must be agile and try to avoid being caught between everyone fighting. He's an awesome partner because he can absorb projectiles (Doubtful as projectiles are hardly ever used), kill faster than you and can brick wall with you by jumping above and using N-Air while you F-Air. The biggest plus is that it's next to impossible to gimp him so the only way to get him out is to rack up damage and actually kill him. Plus you have your own version of the Ominigay by using U-Throw and having the G-Dub Up-B at the top. :)


Wario- This team focuses on Aerial Mobility to control the stage. Meta Knight moves soooooo slow compared to Wario, which alright because you make up for each other's weaknesses. His Hax aerial movement is useful for pressure strategies and allows him to jump in and out of any situation. For example, Wario can D-Air someone while you can keep up the attacks to break the shield or at least shield poke. Wario makes up for your bad aerial movement and kill power while you make up for his range and attack speed. Wario is also not easily gimped and has more kill power. His waft adds psychological pressure on the opponents and gives them another thing to worry about which is a huge plus. This team's strength is being able to stay mobile the entire time allowing attacks to be avoided easily. It also means that your partner won't be yelling at you to help him make it back to the stage or if he gets grouped on. Beware of the grab though, if Wario gets grabbed, help him out immediately because it either means free damage or a stock.


Snake- This team is the best balanced team in Brawl (IMO). The team focuses on Partial Stage Control and a combination of Speed and Strength. Snake kills faster than you, can tank for you since he lives a lot more than everyone else but DDD with good DI, and he can break groups up easily with his explosives. One word: Omnigay. Snake's attacks have bigger hit boxes than yours do for the most part which can only be good as your range is almost equal to his and Marth's. The strategies of this team are obvious, meta takes control of the sky while snake is uncontested on the ground. Be aware of Snake's movements as he can get gimped pretty often and sometimes easily. The explosives also add an unnecessary (for you) layer of caution. You waste more attention trying not to get hit by Snake and helping him when he's off the stage at the cost of him being able to kill easily and to take damage like a sponge.


Diddy Kong- This team focuses on total Stage Control. You trade power, as Diddy Kong is somewhat weak, for total control of the ground. Obviously, Meta Knight takes over the air as the Diddy Kong rules with his bananas on the ground. Diddy Kong has various mix-ups so he isn't gimped easily. This is good for people who don't really have good chemistry and just feel like like playing doubles as if it were two 1 on 1 matches. In my opinion, this is one of the weaker teammates for Meta. This is because the heart and soul of Diddy Kong lies in the combos that follow trips from Banana Tosses so it isn't a good idea for the Meta Knight to interfere.


King Dedede-


I'll add more later. I got to go to school now :psycho:

ill go with wario. easy to stock hold racks up damage fast and can kill....as well as make epic comebacks with fart and mks brokeness.

As for teaming with diddy...well its hard. You pretty much have to play D and let diddy go crazy just have to cover him well since he can get ****ed up//gimped easily. Its frustrating since diddys nanas can be used against u and trips etc. I dont really reccomend doing diddy//mk unless you practice and team with eachother a lot

Gaw is kinda the same as diddy. If your not careful you can get your self killed really easily

Ill agree with affinity on snake. I actually think snake and mk is a quite aweful team. esp if u happen to face a wario in teams. Iv seen hunger take down snakes in teams incredibly fast. Since u cant really outspace wario at all in teams ( as well as gaw). kinda why there so beast in dubs. but snake and mk if frustrating. While you will crush noob teams easily. Once u face a team or a player that knows how to gimp snake u will probebly lash out at your partner even though its not his fault.



o and lol zucco. yea lucario and mk is stupid XD

That video is hilarious lol.

I'd have to say Wario (aerials), Snake (camping to compliment MK's airgame), and Pikachu (camping and chain-grabbing). Kirby compliments nicely also.
