I noticed that when you use up B you can level it out and glide for a realllly long time at a low rate of falling. Does this give meta the best horizontal recovery? I can see this being uber where you gimp someone off the edge of temple(melee stage) and use up-b angling to glide to the little platform. Any recovery tips for Up-B?

Yes, MK has the best recover in the game, only rivaled by Pit. Meta Knight can actually start on the top left of Hyrule Temple, and do a complete circle around the entire stage and land where he started.

The trick to maximizing distance (and even gain some height) is to rise and fall, but the practicality of it is unfortunately limited. But you have a good idea about using the Shuttle Loop back towards the stage for recovery.
