I may not main MK, (I main Marth) but Marth does have quite a bit of fast moves that come out quickly, which do have good knockback. Shiek might be a good secondary, too.

I would recommend picking up D3 (my secondary). He excels in MK's harder match-ups and he's really fun to use.

All Meta Knight mains should have Snake as their secondary, then Dedede as their tertiary.

Lol at any MK main needed a secondary.

If you can't beat them with MK, you can't beat them.
No one ever said we needed a secondary or can't beat certain characters with MK; having a secondary that excels in MK's harder match-ups is a good idea. (Ex. Switching to D3 against DK)

Lol Is This Thread Serious?!?

Metaknight Players Dont Have Bad Matchups Gtfo With This Secondary Crap Lol Lol Lol.
lol Wow... You fail.

Affinity, you're wrong. The community has deemed it so. Now pick a real character and see how good you are at the game, because swastika is right, if you can't beat them with MK, you can't beat them.

About what? Having a secondary IS a good idea. Like I said: Sure, I can beat a DK with my MK, but its MUCH easier to beat him with DDD. I don't understand what you mean.

Now pick a real character and see how good you are at the game, because swastika is right, if you can't beat them with MK, you can't beat them.
I secondary D3 and do well with him. I also used to play Lucas, who I am still decent with. Your claim is completely false.

Your post is full of ignorance and fail. If you don't have anything intelligent to say, don't say anything at all.

Affinity I never said having a secondary character was a bad thing, you're just making that up so you can attack my statement. Secondaries are great, MK just doesn't need them, and we've seen the pros play MK, and there is no reason they ever need to switch.

Notice how you said you USED to play Lucas. As in you gave up playing him because you actually needed a small amount of skill to achieve victory, so you switched to MK, am I right? My post was perfectly reasonable, you're simply another in the throng of MK players trying to 'defend their honor' or whatever BS it may be. Enjoy.

You're stupid.

The point of competitive play is to win. The way to win is to have the biggest advantage possible. Make sense?

Why would I use my Meta Knight versus Donkey Kong or Snake when I know Dedede has a much easier time playing against them? It doesn't matter if Meta Knight needs to switch, the fact is that it is in the players best interest to do so on certain occasions.

You're just twisting his words and throwing out assumptions in order to make your argument easy to swallow. Meta Knight is not this perfect character you can and should use in every circumstance.

Give this guy a cookie.

agreed. seriously, metaknight needs a secondary, especially chars that he has trouble with. YES HE DOES HAVE BAD MATCHUPS. or at least i do, so i second lucario, which has good advantage over his bad matchups. and bad matchups are IMO. and even if he doesnt have any, he has some neutral matchups, which can be covered by a secondary. like affinity stated, he has a hard time with DK playing MK, but easy with D3. so? why not have one?

Note: MK dittos happen. Falco can beat MK fairly well. Second Falco to beat MK and Snake. Achieve victory. Yarr. Falco can also camp DK really well.

Yeah, Falco's the best secondary for MK next to DDD and Snake. Covers the most matchups.

Making up what? What am I wrong about then? Please clarify.

WOW...

I've already said that us MK mainers don't need a secondary, but that it's a very good idea to have one. Here's another example:

_

M2K beat Reflex's Wario in the Winners Finals of FAST1 with MK, right? Then why did he use DDD instead of MK in the Grand Finals?

Simple: because it was EASIER to beat Reflex with DDD than MK. Sure he could have beaten him again with MK, but instead he made the smart decision and used the character that had a better time in the match-up.

Why are you arguing with and agreeing with me at the same time? I don't understand what you're trying to achieve.

Notice how you said you USED to play Lucas. As in you gave up playing him because you actually needed a small amount of skill to achieve victory, so you switched to MK, am I right?
Nope, not at all. I started playing MK around the end of April/beginning of May. After watching my friends do dittos so much I thought it'd be fun to give him a try.

I don't recall there being much (if any) MK hate around then. I believe it was all focused on Snake around that time.

Your claim is, once again, false.

My post was perfectly reasonable.
You and your post both fail.

You're simply another in the throng of MK players trying to 'defend their honor' or whatever BS it may be. Enjoy.
No, we're simply being realistic. MK is not a auto-win by any means, especially when you get up to higher levels of play. Scrubs simply don't want to put in effort to beat better players using better characters. They just want to take the easy way out by advocating a ban.


Stop *****ing. No one here wants to hear it.

I play R.O.B. and MK about 55%-45% of the time respectively (slowing growing in MK's favor). Ill just usually pick whichever character is better for the match-up. (tends to be mk lol)

I've come to the conclusion that DDD is the best MK secondary since he accels at MK's worst stages. However, I also decided that I should play exclusively MK until I reach a plateau.
