Good Stages for Meta?

[Roxas Org XIII]

I need some suggestions on stages with Meta knight...

 

[Terranrox]

this is an easy answer... Everything I mean unless it is a custom anti Meta Knight stage or 4 player free for all I cant see Meta Knight sucking anywhere but if I had to guess though Meta Knight might have a slightly greater trouble in chasing foes and cowards with your combos on really big stages (like New Pork)

But unless your asking for help on a certain stage while using Meta Knight you must specify... I can only aid those who specify their problems

 

[Roxas Org XIII]

i meant like stages that enhance meta like what should i use as a counter pick.

95 percent of the time I counterpick castle siege. It has tricky ledges which meta knight doesnt need to worry about, it has statues that block off projectiles, and walk close out-of-bounds walls so he can KO more easily

My favorite stage with MK is Norfair. You can combo a lot here

My favorite stage with MK is Norfair. You can combo a lot here

Ummm...
you can combo with Meta Knight everywhere, anywhere, whenever within a certain percentage depending on the combo you are using.

On the other note
As I said Meta Knight is good everywhere but ginormous stages. But in reguards to counter picking it really depends on your style of fighting so I can evaluate more to try to find the perfect stage for you...

Q1: Do you have tendency to kill horizontally or vertical

Q:2 Do use prefer to or frequently spike/ meteor (foot stool) with Meta Knight?

Q:3 Do you enjoy the floaty fx some stages have? (exp. when Pk Stadium turns to flight mode)

Q:4 Do you use gliding a lot in your combos?

Q:5 Do you enjoy/ rely edge guarding or dimensional edge guard?

Q: 6 Do like ledges at all?

Q: 7 Would you rather like open space or areas with lots of stage hazards/ obstacles?
(very important trade off here for Meta Knight users since here they trade for no distraction/ obstacles in combos and not letting your foe run away or you get plenty of cover from projectiles)

Q: 8 Do you rely on a uneven main floor for your Meta Knight or do you like even out floors?

Q: 9 Do you platform to your advantages?

Q:10 Do you use stage hazards to your advantages? (Like throwing your foe at King Bublin at the right time to do damage

Q: 11 Do you feel moving stages operate to your advantage?

So yeah these are some basic question that need to be answered for a good evaluation since I feel blurting out a random stage i like to use wont be beneficial for you if your Meta Knight fighting style is different.

best stages for metaknight out of the neutrals are FD and smashville

mk plays better with less platforms, they just get on the way when you're trying to glide attack or shuttleloop

Personally I like Luigi's mansion. You can force people to fight you on the ground, the ceiling allows you to land every single mach tornado hit, the pillars help vs. projectile spammers, and if you get someone caught on the top floor, you can keep them there with uair / u.tilt spam. All around it's an amazing level for him.

IN my experience Skyworld is a counter pick for him for projectile spammers since they can camp under the platforms and you can't do anything about it. Avoid that place at all costs.

Moving a little bit off topic here but in many tournys you get a ban and for metas I suggest banning Pirate Ship because of the lack of ability to gimp. My counter picks are usually Delfino and Halberd because of the same reason jigglies countered Mute City in melee you can abuse your 5 jumps and 2 glides and come up from under the stage and people recovering can't try to slide up ledges. The slide up ledges bring me to another possible counter and that is Lylat Cruise because while many people can fall prey to getting stuck under the stage by missing the lip meta doesn't have this problem because his up-b sends him back far enough to grab the ledge.

These are just a few of my general rules for picking stages that I go by.

 

[thebasman]

I like Corneria with MK, because I do a lot of SLoop/uair kills and Corneria has a really low ceiling. I've also found that MK uses walls well, so push them up against the fin thing on the right side of the stage with ftilts and dtilts and nair them when they try to get out.

Also, you can glide all the way under it, but that's really just cheese.

MK's just a beast, so anywhere is usually fine.

 

[kreechure]

I prefer BF to the other neutral stages. It's smaller than FD and the platforms can really mess up certain characters.

 

[Prax]

This is probably just personal preference, but I like Battlefield a lot. Luigi's Mansion and FD seem to be good stages for him too.

 

[mzink*]

i tend to do well with meta on stages with plenty of platforms. especially against characters that have a bit of a disadvantage on stages with platforms. but meta is usually good on most stages.

 

[UltiMario]

I like Battlefield, it just seems to fit Meta Knight's Style.
SmashVille and Lylat Cruie (Or whatever its called) are good too

 

[MetaKnight63]

I'm good on any stage except when Palkia's on the Spear Pillar.

The best one should be on Battlefield or Norfair.....

 

[vudore]

I have to say I really dislike Bridge of Eldin. :x

On the other hand, I echo the Battlefield sentiment.

 

[SabinX]

Otru is correct. FD & smashville. platforms are bad for MK .. yoshi & bfield are worst stages.

 

[Suxen]

mmmm every one woth edges final corneria etc i think pretty much all the stages

 

[GodotAA]

OK listen everyone.

Out of all the legal and neutral/counterpick stages metaknight is good on every one of them.

your talking about him not being good on platforms. Jsut because you cant shuttle loop spam.

Battle field is actually one of metaknights best stages. he can travel under the level and come up with a reverse shuttle lopp with the potential if stopping an edgegaurd.

battle field is also small. it has a small ceiling and small sides which equal death to anyone off the stage.


FD is probalby one of metaknights worst stages only because it is a rather big level.

you can also get camped on fd. you cant on battle field . you cant get camped on yoshis sotry. its harder to get camped on smash ville etc.
i dunno why you people are saying these small stages are bad for mk when big stages are his worst

if you have the shoice to counterpick. pick a small stage liek smash ville or battle field. especially against big heavy chacters. and even more so against snake

 

[R.Kefka]

I don't see why platforms are *bad* for MK, since they help him get around projectile spammers more easily. They also offer options for SLoop cancels, and you have the option of glide attack canceling in more places. You then can fall through the platform or run off into aerials. You're also safer using his tornado when you have platforms; you can pop people up above you, then pressure from beneath. Also, up-throw will KO earlier if you can drop people onto platforms.

On top of that, you can do a neat trick to guarantee hits when enemies are on platforms. If they shield at the edge of a platform and you hit their shield with forward-air, the first hit will push them off and the second two will connect. And you also have pressure uptions with rising up-airs and neutral-airs.

Platforms give you lots of extra options and relatively low cost overall. What's not to love?

Smashville>All

Balloon popping is the most important aspect in brawl and it's the only stage that offers it

 

[DragnSlayr]

I personally like Battlefield and Lylat cruise as neutral stages which can work with MK. Smashville is also a good choice.

 

[the_judge]

Less platforms is better.
MK will do better on YI, Halberd, or Smashville rather than battlefield or Lylat.

A lot of chars have good attacks to drop from a platform with, and MK lacks that a quick way to react properly. Nor is it good to jump up to one.

 

[TheEliteSmasher]

FD.

10 FD's...

 

[CaliburChamp]

Most of the starter stages are good stages for MK since he can stage spike on those. His best has got to be Luigi Mansion, Rumble Falls, Jungle Japes, and Lylat.

 

[Black_Heretic]

turn on all stages

hit random

that stage
