Meta Knight - Cheap, Overpowered, or Just Plain Awsome - The unOfficial Thread

[meta master]

in this thread, we shall defend our honor as meta knight players. Meta takes skill to play. Contribute as to why Meta Knight is amazing, why he NOT CHEAP and why he is NOT A NOOB CHARACTER. Feel free to mention that hes just plain bad@$$ uber cool. Pics are welcome as long as they're not spammed.

NO FLAMING!!!!!

 

[silentnight]

He's
fast
kewl
strong
mysterious
and behind that mask lie a cute puffball

 

[HolyForce]

Noob vs noob, the one with the Meta Knight will make the other feel weak.

At high level play, Meta Knight, as any character, isn't going to win via button mashing. He definately takes skill to overcome his weaknesses.

Besides; I'm a ball with wings, son. He doesn't need Red Bull for wings, and he's always a ball to hang out with. (That could be taken like 4 different ways...)

Now that's pro.

 

[ShaolinAce]

Meta takes skill when playing against skillful players.

 

[grandmaster192]

Anyone can pick up metaknight and play him well; that's why so many people do just that. You don't think there is a reason metaknight is so overused? Get real.

i could say the same with marth

Marth isn't my main. Metaknight is. LOL.

Ok I just fought a MetaKnight at a local tournament earlier today. And he was amazing, pretty much excellent edgeguarding, was fast and didn't even give me a chance to breath.

I think that MetaKnight is overpowered, but requires skill to play. He has high potential for those that are good with him. I've played them before and usaully I can deal with them (Although most of the metaknights I play are noobs) , but this metaknight was like pro, he told me he just came back from nationals tournament and he travels to play brawl, :O.

All in all the metaknight won 1st place, and I won 3rd, some game and watch got 2nd but I didn't get to play him.

It was single elimination and all I can say is if your in a tournament, you better pray you don't get stuck with a good meta in the first round, because after that your done.

 

[GiNO The KiDD]

I'm not gunna lie, meta is a lil bit to much overpowered.Mostly because he's fast, strong and easy to play.A noob picks him up, does good in a few matches, and we have ourselves another meta player.But in order to be at pro level, or win tournaments, you have to take mk and your gameplay to a next level.And to do that takes skill.If your planning on just winning a couple friendlies, or placing decent in a tournament, then mk is easy to use.But if your plannin on going to the next level, it takes alot of skill.It takes alot of skill with every char. to take to the next level.But still, meta is to overpowered.

 

[iMeeHow]

Obviously MetaKnight takes skill to play but he is fairly easy to get good with but then only the Good players master him. Obviously hes fast and what not but he clearly not as broke as snake :D

 

[lonelytraveler8]

MK IS a noob character. MK does NOT take skill to play. And last and most importantly, MK IS cheap to play.

(Disclaimer: Any noob can pick up MK and seem to have some handle on the game. Thus, Meta Knight does not, similar to most characters, require skill to play. Fortunately for some, he does not require skill to play at a decent level, either. The good MKs do stand out for a reason, though. Meta Knight cheapness is situational and not broad.)

 

[brg]

The problem lies not with the fact that he would be easy or a noob char.

Lets compare him to fox or falco in melee.

Both are, from the start, very good chars. They have their weaknesses, but their strenghs outweigh them.
However, this is only at novice level.
At high level, fox and falco were unstoppable (save marth), and there lies the probleme. The more players will progress, the more MK will shine, because of his lack of weaknesses.

 

[WingedKnight]

I haven't been on here forever! When your playing seriously, Meta Knight takes skill and strategy. I have set out to prove he is not OP or n00by!

i admit. meta knight is a bit over powered but his weaknesses really kill him. the problem is that most people are n00bs and complain about facing him or pros that know how to exploit them. {weaknesses} a pro meta player know not to give the enemy a chance or else hes dead, over powered or not. besides, many considered marth and fox overpowevered in melee and he was stilled played. Sheik was considered a n00b character cause anyone could allegedly pick up and play him. in melee Snake and Meta are considered n00b characters but instead of finding ways to kill them, they whine and flame in threads

 

[RATED]

I got to say this as a MK mainer: MK is a noob friendly character anyone can use it decently, but using MK to a next level it is dificult really! I know it. MK doesn't take quickness or something like that in ur hands like I am, but it takes a lot of brains winning with him and thinking on safe attacks and things like that.

PS: I don't talk about snake bcuz I hate that guy , even before that he appeared in brawl. Overpowed!

Sheik's a he? O,o


Anyways, MK has two stages: Basic & Advanced. The basic players just basically play MK. The Advanced players are the ones that stand out and actually know what they're doing. Both can be tough to face due to the character himself, but there's an extremely obvious skill difference in the two player types.

 

[Nargle]

When I play meta knight over any other character I have to consistantly control the battle. If I am not landing twice as many hits as my opponent then I have no chance. With Meta knights finisher moves or lack-there-of I have to rack up 50% more damage then anyone else before I can kill them.

Is Meta OP in noob land. Sure.

Is Meta OP in Tourny Land. No.

 

[PKlucas84]

Meta knight isnot overpowered at all
because his weaknesses and advantages balence out
HE is just awesome
and can hardly be played by noobs

 

[Kiryu]

Seriously, when MK can get explosion KOed from the center of FD at 90% from a variety of different moves, MK is not over powered.

 

[Xzax Kasrani]

well theres a few things
his down smash as two hits the first hit does 4-7%(not sure exactly) and the 2nd hit is about 13-15%(2nd hit= f smash) thats his only kill move.
Futher speaking, hes not overpowered since his down smash is his only kill move. and up b(even tho this is air dodged a lot)
Meta Knight isnt cheep. Unless you play a noob meta. Meta Knight scrubs spam B and other noobs dont block or air dodge it when you get trapped in the air. Olimar is the cheapest character IMO. Advanced Meta Knight players are so good since they evolved more then most other brawlers.

 

[Dr. Hyde]

lol UP+B Down Smash and Forward can kill.

Meta is noob. I have a friend who plays Falco with all his heart and is good with him but when the tournament time comes he goes metaknight. You know why? Because MK is the gehest spammiest character in the game.

whew glad someone made a thread to let people vent.

...

Oh this is to defend Metaknight. ... lol he's something to defend.

Neutral B

Guarantee anyone who valiantly says "Oh I don't need that move to beat you!" Is a lier and just can't give up the fact that it beats most move in the game. Metaknight IS the gehiest character, geher than Marth and easier to play.

Neutral B. You just lost the game.

 

[Xzax Kasrani]

wow your an idiot. meta knight isnt that cheep olimar is the cheapest pussi in the game. get over it

I think you just cant get over the fact that youre not a versatile player enough to beat metaknight

 

[SilverSonic101]

I agree that MK's strengths and weaknesses are balanced. I noticed this when I Brawled with MK.

 

[brg]

learn to air-dodge to safety, learn the moves at your disposal that outspeed the downsmash, make the best use of your projectiles (if you have some) and most of all. Grab. Grab. Grab.

Wow...I have 3 things to say to this.


Cry more.

Get better.

Learn how to spell.

 

[DanGR]

Question: Do MK mains regard him as hard to get good at?

 

[Nigerian Star Storm]

Question: Do MK mains regard him as hard to get good at?

I acknowledge that he pretty (No, VERY) Easy to learn.



But then again, characters in Brawl for the most part aren't that hard to learn at all.

being easier to learn, i think we should wait for other characters to be developped at their full potential before drawing any premature conclusions

 

[Master Raven]

MK is not hard to use. That does not mean he is a "noob" character, however.

I've recently beaten Spamnado players with DK.



Oh and I'm getting pretty ****ing sick and tired of people claiming X character in Brawl is broken. Did similar complaints arise from Melee characters such as Fox, Marth, Shiek, etc.?

Yes they did. Did Isai kick their *** with good old falcon? He sure did. Did hugs do the same with samus? He sure did. And who can forget gimpyfish.

 

[DanGR]

Well, I think he's a very good character that's easy to get good at. Agree?

 

[brg]

Well, I think he's a very good character that's easy to get good at. Agree?

this is also true

but, what is good? We are not good thats for sure, no one here is REALLY good. Ill consider good after 1 year of the game being released.

 

[bluebolt]

agreed.

you dont get anywhere near good in one match.
once this n00b ike player got tired of me winning and though "I wonder if I should be metaknight" like I already was and I owned him bad then too. he kept using A for pie sake! (mmm pie)
After losing, he went back to ike, still being owned.

 

[Nigerian Star Storm]

Well, I think he's a very good character that's easy to get good at. Agree?

Agreed.

Granted Marth/Sheik in Melee were the same comparitively to Fox, but they were still much harder to learn than just about anyone in Brawl

 

[neji32]

Sheik was considered a n00b character cause anyone could allegedly pick up and play him. in melee Snake and Meta are considered n00b characters but instead of finding ways to kill them, they whine and flame in threads

I always wondered the same thing, there were cheap tactics in melee but no one complained, If done perfectly, fox could kill you around 25%(shine spine.)
I havent played melee ever since brawl came out so i dont remember why people didnt, but my friend told it is because brawl makes it easiler to hit people,rolling is a lot less effective and something else i cant remember.
But metas Dsmash and Up B are the only attacks that i cant stand. There so quick and have a lot of priority. Idk im still looking for a way to beat meta with link, links recovery was nerfed so bad though, it makes it hard. Any Meta can just grab the ledge so easily as soon as im going to get it. It makes gimpimg us easier than it should be.


Edit- is it me or can meta knight grab the ledge easier than anyone else..........running towards the ledge and quickly falling off right on it

 

[neji32]

Oh, and i would consider Meta knight a noob character for this reason....

If someone who never played melee and has played brawl about twice(just enough to know how to jump attack etc.) then was put up against someone else with the exact same qualities and one was useing fox/marth/link/toon link/kirby/any character, the meta knight would win. Meta is exteamly easy to get at decent skll with. But to be really good i do admit it takes some practice but i still think hes a noob character

 

[DanGR]

When I say "good", I mean can you beat most average players. Now if you're MK, that becomes a heck of a lot easier to do. We agree on that. How bout this:

MK is a very good character with outstanding priority, speed, quickness, recovery, and gimping ability that's very good against most of the cast, and he's also very easy to get good at. Agree?
