So I wanna study this mu a bit more. I've watched my fair share of vids from apex m2k vs anti, apex nairo vs zero, rescue 3 zero nairo, etc.

In the process of learning this mu to the fullest. Those that are mk mains and use certain videos religiously or just feel that some videos in particular show quite a lot of what to do in the mu is welcomed. Also different takes on playstyle are appreciated.

Just if you were to give me your top 5-10 mk ditto sets what would they be?

Thanks a lot.

I learn a lot more from watching vids then I do from what someone would explain through text so this is mostly why I ask.

Edit: I'd prefer vids from at least a year ago, but nothing more than two years ago unless they are really exceptional.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNmD5MQXTO0 - The most gimmicky high level ditto ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_JF9gTlxEk - If you're going to main Meta Knight, then Kakera is notable because his Meta Knight is generally the best that you could possibly imitate. If you're looking to second him, then El or...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoMqlzyZPIU - ZeRo, because his style and mindset are arguably the least stressful/most optimal for an imperfect tournament setting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed8s3BPs2K0 - For illustrating solid fundamentals, how to deal with players who have superior fundamentals, and post-hit defense. Also, good ledge traps are always worth watching.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOm_9tnLSqg - Because virtually all of the Meta Knights in your region have a style similar to Rain. The most effective style against players like Rain tends to be aggressive players like...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLZIn-3pqzY - Nairo and Otori. This is always a solid recommendation because I would argue that it is the finest example of the Meta Knight ditto that I have seen recorded.

Personally, I prefer to watch anything of Kakera vs. high level players and anything of ZeRo vs. relatively low level players. This is because I believe Kakera's form to be the closest to perfect and I believe that ZeRo's is the optimal for flying through weak characters or players with minimal stress.

While these are amazing videos, and I will watch em, can I also get some campy play styles as well? Wanna look at the entire scope of the mu.

Actually now that I think about it, does anyone use that playstyle anymore?

You aren't really going to find modern high level Meta Knight dittos with camping, as it's largely counter-intuitive outside of a ledge trap position.

The closest player that I can think of are Teh Spammerer (one of my favorites) and his 1v1 videos are almost entirely gone.

ANTi is still a pretty good, campy/slow Meta Knight, he thing with his style is that he's insanely smart and he has a very good reading ability, and that coupled with matchup understanding and proper spacing is what allowed him to go VERY far in tournaments.

Another side note I'd make about japanese Meta Knights is that, while some of them are campy, none of them has slow execution, everyone has to have at least decent tech skill in order to compete.
