How do i glide in P:M?

[PyreWhisp]

As simple as the title suggests lol I need help on how to glide with, for example, Meta Knight. I always liked the character and now that he's all nerfed i'd like to learn him again, but i can't have many mobility options without gliding now that the Tornado is basically gone. So, any quick tip? Hopefully they didn't remove the gliding mechanic lol

From my knowledge, they removed the glide mechanic from holding the jump button. Now glides can only be done using certain specials (Shuttle Loop, Wings of Icarus, etc.)
Also, Metaknight was buffed for the most part I believe.
If they just gave him Melee physics, he'd probably be low tier.

I think they did remove it but every character who could glide got a move that let's them (Pit's side-b, Charizard's down-b, Metaknight's up-b)

what he said, Metaknight was high tier in Brawl because he was the only character that felt like a Melee character and won with offense. Now that he is in a game that favors offense he no longer has that offensive advantage against characters that used to favor defense so he needed to be buffed to hell.

I see, thanks for your help in that. But i can't agree on that he's been buffed. Many mobility and recovery options were taken from him, and now his Down A is cooler, but it doesn't help him with zoning as his older Down A did lol So basically he can't approach as he used to and he can't zone almost at all. At least from what i've discovered so far.

do you even know what dash dancing is
He has one of the best in the game

 

[Nazo]

MetaKnight's brawl Dair was definitely Not an approach option.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

metaknight still has his uair + multiple jumps for godlike juggling. You can still zone with dash dancing, and shffl'd fairs.

 

[PyreWhisp]

No, it wasn't an approach option, i never said that, i said it was good for zoning. And yeah i know what Dash Dancing is, but someone can't rely on it for the entire match to be safe. I don't complain about his juggling options, he's one of the best doing that, what i'm saying here isn't that he can do nothing, i said he's no buffed, he's nerfed and has less options than before if not much less.

 

[QQQQQQQ7777777]

he's nerfed and has less options than before if not much less.

He has less options than before and if not less? I agree that he has less options but I think that is more because of everyone else getting more options to limit Metaknight's options and less the limitations of Metaknight himself.

Define 'nerfed'.

Sure, his specials are different. On the flipside, he has an amazing dash dance, run speed, nair, juggle game, new dair to escape juggles and combos, can now L-Cancel his already rather safe aerials, godlike grab game, amazing tech chases, amazing tech-chase set ups out of d-throw, three viable kill moves out of which the slowest (FSmash) is still pretty dang fast and has deceptive range, MARTH'S DOWN-TILT, a boost grab, above-average gimping ability just due to his multijumps+various specials he can use to recover, a gimp game that is augmented by P:M's non-floaty physics ...

I'm sorry, what was that about him having less options?

He's different from Brawl MK in that he doesn't absolutely wreck the game, he's just really freaking good at it. He ain't nerfed.

He's "nerfed" because he isn't Godlike OP mode anymore. He's a real character now.

 

[QQQQQQQ7777777]

Now we just need to give him this moveset and he'll be OP again:

Jab- Ike
Ftilt- Luigi
Utilt- Mewtwo
Dtilt- Roy
DashA- Lucario
Fsmash- Marth
Usmash- Fox
Dsmash- Wario
Crawl attack - Snake
Nair- Kirby
Fair- C. Falcon
Uair- Wolf
Bair- Jiggs
Dair- Ganon
B- Offense Up / Solar Beam / Rest's attack
>B- Din's Fire
^B- Shuttle Loop
----GlideA- Pit's Fair
vB- Falco Shine
Grab - Samus Grapple Beam
Fthrow- Zero Suit Samus
Uthrow- Fox
Dthrow- Snake
Bthrow- Ness
Get Up Attack- Mario
Ledge Attack- Pikachu
Final Smash- Super Sonic

Sonic's run speed
Yoshi's second jump
Yoshi's shield
Luigi's wavedash length
Turbo Mode like on-hit cancelling (it's different from Lucario's)

If you were trying to pick really good moves from each character, you failed pretty miserably, less than half of those stand out among their respective characters

well we limited ourselves to one move per character (minus snake) so it didn't turn out as good as we hoped.

Give Meta Knight is Brawl moveset with Brawl Snake's up tilt.

Worst post I've ever read in the history of Smashboards.

Dude Meta Knight's Nair can be its own character.
