Meta Knight: God Tier Discussion

[axemangx]

Well, first of all, many people think he could be the newest top tier, and heres a few reasons why.

Glide
5 jumps.
Able to Kirbycide, even better, with more mobility with the glide.
A team game gang breaker.
Reflect.
A Kirby Cutter kind of move.
2 Recover Moves.

Tell your thoughts on how they would balance him.

Perhaps his sword swipes, they are only based on rapid hitting, which, each hit should only cause about 3% damage or so, as seeing in the trailer, he hits pretty fast.

Discuss.

Have weak strength and knockback on his attacks? This thread is utterly pointless.

 

[axemangx]

Wouldnt Knockback on his attacks just add more to his strengths?

 

[Vali]

Weak strength and weak knockbacks on his attacks.

Hope this one is easier for you to understand.

 

[axemangx]

Well, try comparing him to Fox, and see the differences. I have a funny feeling he'll get a stabbing down move though, like Links, because in the Kirby games, that was one of his overused moves, I believe.

Plus, I was wondering. Would the Cape have Paralyze damage? If it would, I can say this one thing.
Tournament banned? Perhaps.. We'll have to see the cons about him. Sakurai has shown us MANY Pros though..

 

[Vali]

He's hardly going to update a character on how crap he is.

"Hey guys look at this character! Can't kill anything, see! Have fun playing as him."

Discussing tiers when you know nothing about the other characters or really anything about this character is utterly, utterly pointless. Compare him to Fox? Because Fox didn't have any strength or KO ability at all, did he?

I actually was expecting a topic like this much sooner. :/

EDIT:

Anyway, perhaps he'll be kinda like Jigglypuff's WoP; Metakight's ^B which I assume will go into the glide is a great recovery option. On the other hand Metaknigh's ^B is so predictable he's going to be smacked right out of it if he comes to the stage gliding.

 

[LukeFonFabre]

I'll honestly laugh if it turns out Meta Knight is Brawl's Mewtwo as far as tiers is concerned.

Admittedly, he has got a lot of recovery options, though I get the feeling he's going to need them. He'll probably take hits like a little girl, so he'll be off the stage often enough.

 

[Vagrant Lustoid]

I didn't realize Metaknight was able to absorb people, if that's what you mean by Kirbycide. Has that been shown in the trailer, or did you mean something else?

 

[axemangx]

Whoops, I mean Jump Mindgame Ease.

Anyways, I thought about that gliding. Perhaps when you glide, you cannot use your jumps, but only your recover specials.

 

[Kirby knight]

I would assume that Metaknight is a bit heavier than Kirby, because of his mask (Also he didn't seem as floaty as Kirby from what I've seen in the trailer).

Oh well I think when Brawl comes out I'm going to beat up on Metaknight users with Kirby. ;_; I just know Metaknight's going to overshadow him to my dismay (not saying he'll be better than Kirby; In fact Kirby's leg attacks look about as long as Metaknight's sword, lol).

 

[OmegaXXII]

^I believe he will definetly be heavier ,but still light enough then most others i believe

 

[WoodyWiggins]

Meta CLEARLY suffers from second hand attacks. Mach Tornado, W T F ! The only thing original about him is his ability to fly. So sad. . .

 

[axemangx]

Mach Tornado was from most of the Kirby games he was in, You cant just blow it away.

True, lightness, but heavy.

As people always say,

I guess we have to wait untill Brawl is out.

I have no idea what you mean by that; could you please elaborate more? Most of Metaknight's B moves are based off of Kirby Superstar: Metaknight's Revenge.

 

[WoodyWiggins]

* Blows *
I stand corrected. They could've chose a different attack !

 

[kin3tic-c4jun-3]

This thread is pure speculation and pointless.

 

[axemangx]

Then why did you bump it? It was in the trash dump.

 

[SirroMinus1]

Dont get your hopes up! even though i might be a fellow Mk player 2

 

[Azukki]

Metaknight sounds like he'll easily inflict damage, but KOing opponents could be tricky, because it sounds like he'll be doing a lot of rapid weak slashes with master.

He may rely on special attacks for significant, KO inflicting knockback.

I guess we'll just wait and see.

 

[SpitFire15]

He might get limited KO ability to balance him out, but then again I'm just speculating...
