Curiousity.

[Doctor Destructo]

I lurk around this board occasionally, but normally just keep my business in the Wario forums. I do, however, notice a lot of the same threads going on here that go a little bit like this.

Guy 1: OMG METAKNIGHT IS SO CHEAP. HE NEEDS TO BE BANNED.

Guy 2: OMG SCRUB LEARN TO FIGHT HIM.

Guy 3: YEAH NO JOHNS.

And that usually sparks up a heated flame war that eventually involves insults about Guy 1, 2, and 3's parents.

But anyhow, I'm curious as to what you, the Metaknight player, feels Metaknight's actual weaknesses are. Everyone has their advantages and disadvantages, so Metaknight must have a few things that will set you back some.

No flames, now. You don't want to put any sort of fire near a Wario.

he's light and it takes a long time to KO with him if your opponent has a good recovery

yep plus all b moves cause fall special.

The only weakness I can find is that he has no moves that can easily kill your opponent.

shuttle loop? dsmash?dair? those are the only ones i can think of that can effectively kill.

hell yea xD but its soooo predictible :\ only use it if they are in the air for easy 50% kill =P

 

[samdaballer]

he's killed a quite easily (not that big of a deal) but his biggest problem is killing someone

Hence, he's a professional at gimping. Anyway, it's mostly the up/side/down/neutral specials rendering MK helpless, and his incredibly light weight. The "lack of killing moves" is becoming less and less of a point when more and more MK mainers learn to gimp effectively.

Killing people, and being killed early...
