wtf? There's a gliding update so now everyone things Meta or Pit, or to some extent Charizard(I've seen it!) will be high tier.
Wait until the ****ing game comes out to make judgments.

Bah. Enough of these threads. :/

First of all, only Pit's f-air seems to be his only decent KO move. I'm sure there's more, but that's all we've seen. His main advantage is the ultimate mobility, being able to fly and run extremely fast, which is well complimented by having a flexible projectile. However, short swords are quite short. It's clear that fist fighters have the same range if not more, leaving the only combat advantage as having disjointed hitboxes. Oh, and he'll probably be a wieght rank or two below Ness. Possibly around Peach's weight.

Meta Knight is all about quick flashy attacks and aerial game. He lacks a projectile, has horrible ground mobility and probably a dreadful grab range. It's also assumed he'll have a tough time getting a KO, while his brawler counterpart Kirby will be a complete powerhouse. Not only that, Kirby's kicks stretch to roughly the length of Galaxia (his sword). Meaning, all he has over Kirby is gliding, speed, a disjointed hitbox and most likely more weight.

I'm going to laugh as a bunch of pitiful Marth/Sheikers flock to Meta Knight, Pit and any other cool character announced with how overplayed they'll be. Though as usual, they will fail to improve.

i actually don't think either of them will be topmost tier, but then again, we have no right to make judgment calls from these random FMV clips we've seen.

Interesting observations you have made their. Though could your elaborate on what you meant by "horrible ground mobility?"

From my observations it looks like Metaknight could become a similar WoP user like Jigglypuff.

Oh well I'll just wait to the game comes out. I am thinking about Maining Kirby like I did in SSB ^_^ Metaknight as a secondary.

-Knight.

In the second trailer, look at how slow he runs when he walks rolls/walks off the platform on Halberd. It's awfully slow for a lightweight. His aerial speed so far is fine, though.

Edit - 2:02 to be exact. It seems like Kirby runs faster. :/
It makes sense though. He's better off in the air since that armor, light or not, would limit his footwork
