Give the MKs a chance, are they broken or are they just good?

[neji32]

I saw a thread on here claiming MK being broken, lots of people claim MK to be broken. But MKs never get to tell there side of it.



Im going to list both sides of the argument then we will come to the conclusion to finnally find out if MK iis broken or not.



Claims on being Broken
-------------------------------------
~He's one of the fastest characters
~His attacks are fast also, they have almost no lag
~He has the best recover with 6 jumps and an Up B
~He has insane priority on ground and air
~He can run off and grab the ledge extreamly fast
~His Mach tornadoe combos and has insane priority, near lagless
~His Forward B also does multiple hits with insane priority, near lagless
~He can spot dodge Dsmash without you having any chance of avoiding
~His combos are easy to perform and can kill at times
~He can gimp you with Dair
~He can reverse any gimp you try on him due to his Up B
~He has a cool *** voice
~Hes short so certain attacks are difficult to land on him (i.e Link/samus up smash, Zairs)
~He can go under the stage




Claims on being balanced
-------------------------------
~He's lightweight and easy to kill
~His attacks are weak and take some time to kill you with
~User have a chance of being accidentally DQed for using the Down B tech on instinct
~He's bad against fast campers







What are some more disadvantages to meta knight?
Is he truely balenced or is he broken?

He's not broken. >.> I don't know his bad matchups but whatever they are those are some disadvantages. The very fact that there are chars that have an advantage over him means he's not broken. Broken implies picking him=auto win. that's not truly the case. Picking him means you'll probably win, but find a game where one character isn't better than most of the others *coughmeleemarthshiekfoxfalcocough*

Hey no offense, I know you have good intentions with this thread, but us MK players are REALLY trying to avoid any kind of "MK is broken/balanced" discussion. We really want to go back to focusing on things to help our game (strategies, match-ups, etc) without distractions.

 

[acv]

first of all almost all claims on im being broken are wrong.second we are trying to avoid all the mk is broken threads.well at least i know i am.

Gonna agree here Affinity, but to the OP, the fact that you included the infinate DC tech in "reasons why he's broken" kinda killed any chance of rational feedback from the MK community. Any character on the roster would be considered "broken" if they had that ability.

Are you ******** or do you just suck so bad that you have to call MK broken?

I think its both honestly...

Its kind of insulting to actual ******* that I'm calling you one, but oh well....

The only point you made that is even semi valid is him being able to go invincinble.... But that alone dosn't make him broken, and even if it does make him broken, the tech will just be banned u ****in idiot...

Stop spamming our forums with your whiney scruby emoish johns... I'm tired of all you scrub noobs calling MK broken, just because the local nado spamming MK ownz you.... Learn how to play the game noob...

Thanks to you, and others like you, it seems so.

Meta Knight is definitely very good, but nowhere near broken. I do not believe that there is any broken character or move in the game of Super Smash Bros. Brawl (I know some of you may disagree), and think that it's about 85% the player, 15% the character.

Meta Knight has potential of being one of the best characters of the game. There's no denying it. However, saying that the character itself is one of the best, and is "broken" regardless of the player piloting him is 100% false. The players have t know how to play the character to make him one of the best. Currently, at a tournament stand point, players are piloting MK very well, and that's why he's so high on the rankings. It has some to do with him having advantages over other characters, but mostly, that people who play as him and win know what they're doing. A good R.O.B., DK, Snake, or Zelda, can totally destroy a Meta Knight if they have practiced the match up. It may be more difficult for other characters to beat Meta Knights, due to Meta Knight and their abilities, but if the pilot knows what he/she's doing, he/she can beat the Meta Knight. I believe this is the case for all characters in Brawl. Looking at the Characters exclusively, sure, there might be a favorite to win, but upsets happen all the time.

Basically, Meta Knight is not broken. Learn to beat him, and you shall prevail.

Maybe you should stop being a dumb ### and stay away from the ledge while you vs MK....

This is exactly why people think MK is broken... because they are dumb and don't know how to fight him....

Then you practice harder and pwn em next time.

But in all seriousness and to contribute to the thread MK is both broken and not broken. That may sound confusing, but think about it. Everyone has a different definition of the meaning of broken. The same exact thing can be broken to one person and not broken to the another. I seriously doubt that when people call MK broken they mean broken as in hes an auto-win. To them broken means very good/very hard to beat. Then when people who's definition of broken is broken means auto-win hear them calling MK broken, they misunderstand it and claim MK is not broken. Point is MK is just a very good character in brawl. He's not an auto-win by any means though and can be defeated. And if you cant beat him then thats your problem, either get better or change your character. Stop calling him broken and start calling him a incredibly good character instead.
