I've been playing meta knight a long time and of course I main him. Normally when I play brawl I have the urge to choose meta knight, because I like playing with him and if I like playing with him then I usually have fun and play way better. But few days ago, I don't have the urge to play him that much anymore and if I do play him I usually play alot worse than I normally do. I still win but I feel something is wrong. Any help finding meta knight back?:(

Try taking a break from MK. Play as another character for a while. Your desire to play him again will come back soon.

This is why people have other mains or secondaries. Just in case you get bored with one character, you switch to another. Cycling characters, if you will.

Pretty simple stuff...

PLay a character that plays differently to freshen your Bawl experience, maybe a Project character or one that takes more skill to challenge yourself with, but id still fun. May I suggest Sonic?

Find another character who plays like metaknight.
Then, when you go back, you will be using a combination of that character and metaknight tactics and your game will improve ALOT.

The same thing happened to me, and I played pikachu for a while. After a few weeks I wanted to play mk again, and I haven't gotten bored of him since :)

I strongly disagree. Playing another character shouldn't make you better at playing MK than just playing MK would if you're able to make observations about your gameplay and break habits.

i used to play metaknight
and well, finally broke away from him and strated using kirby and dedede
after not playing metaknight i messed around with all the other character it was so much more fun to use other characters then your main al the time, but anyways, went back to MK and had a blast so use other characters for the fun of it.

Play someone that is big, slow, heavy and horrible like ganondorf for a few days. Then you'll appreciate MK a lot more. :)

This works, trust me.

Ganon has some awesome moments though. Flame Choke is too good.

I used to main MK too, and something like this would happen every once in a while. There's nothing wrong with using another character, and it'll help the boredom go away. I got tired of the MK johns, so I switched mains entirely.

Perhaps its brawl it's self? Maybe you should take a break from it for a while. If not, take a metabreak try out all the characters and find ones you enjoy as playing.

learning other characters can only help your MK game, if not with timing and strategy, then at least you will know more opponents move sets when you fight against them. My advice to you is the same that many married couples receive about their sex lives. If you're bored with it, then mix it up a bit!

I think I know why. This happened with me and Ike. You see Meta Knight doesn't have any projectiles and his strategic play is mainly based on various combos and pressurizing the opponent so if you keep on playing with him, using the repetitive moveset which you have to use whether you lke it or not. I mean MK's fair will never change, neither his dair nor his nado and yet you will have to use them a lot of the time in matches (actually I'm referring to all is airs and B moves) and likewise Ike there is a certain moveset which you would just have to use all the time. However other chars like Snake or Toon Link have projectiles and MANY strategies which means they can mix and match to build they own play style. With MK there aren't many different play styles cos all MK players would want to just find the most lag-less approach possible. I main Toon Link so I never get bored owning people with him. If I was a Snake player I'd be saying pretty much the same thing. But as I've said MK's strategies and movesets will remain the same therefore you can't really become 'not-bored' of MK now. You can't kill the metal, you can't touch the MK.

Dead. *****es.
IF you play CPUs this is bound to happen. If you play the same people who use the same characters again and again, this is bound to happen.

Try switching to another character who is about the opposite of MK ( some one slow, with a lot of power in one hit, Like g- dorf ) for a few days. Then switch back to MK and see how you feel. Your playstyle should vary from your old one and MK should have a refreshed feel to him.

Oh and yes, thanks for your reply's I'm all fine with meta knight again, I went to training mode and tried to figure out some new combo's and that worked for me. I also signed in for some tourneys, I like playing other chars too, so that wasn't the problem. My other main is diddy kong btw.
My friend made this video for me btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTMAKsYZvn0

But I can't actually pick my secondaries... I mastered meta knight and diddy kong, but the others I'm not sure about them.
Which chars play kinda like meta knight?
