Meta Knight is going to be bloody hard to kill.

[Oni Andrew]

Look at his special moves. Nearly all of them could be used for recovery.

His standard special move, Mach Tornado, makes him rise off the ground (look at the description).

His side special move, Drill Rush, can be angled (it says slightly, but look at how much he's angled upwards in the screenshot where he hits Ike).

After his up special move, Shuttle Loop, he can glide.

And Dimensional Cape (his down special move) can teleport...we don't know whether that's just to either side on the ground, either.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

True, they can be used for recovery, but all of them make you go in Free Fall animation.

You have a choice.

 

[Raptorbite]

Not his up-b, he starts to glide afterwards.

 

[Lgndknight]

just that MK, is a light character, but probably the best recovery of all smashdom (Not even kidding)

 

[Elec Man EXE]

just that MK, is a light character, but probably the best recovery of all smashdom (Not even kidding)

I dunno. Pit's strong competition for that title, with his "3 seconds of free flight in any direction" UpB.

 

[t!MmY]

And Dimensional Cape (his down special move) can teleport...we don't know whether that's just to either side on the ground, either.

You can teleport in any direction. If you're on the ground and teleport (capeport) down, you'll vanish and then reappear. You can teleport down through platforms, too. So, you're not limited to just left/right with it.

Edit:
Oh, and I should mention that I died from Peach's b-air on Smashville at low percent. It was about 90% and I didn't expect it to KO but it did. Peach is broken. Lol. Or maybe it's just because nealdt is awesome.

 

[Paingel]

Does this mean that MK's CapeDashing is in? Assuming that he can go in any direction with his Cape-aport in the air, that is.

EDIT: Cape-dashing was a reference to Wave-dashing... because it was said that Demi-Cape can be used like an air dodge... and...

Nevermind.

 

[Lgndknight]

I dunno. Pit's strong competition for that title, with his "3 seconds of free flight in any direction" UpB.

5 jumps, >B, shuttle loop to auto glide, all of those provide more recovery than three seconds

 

[t!MmY]

Does this mean that MK's CapeDashing is in? Assuming that he can go in any direction with his Cape-aport in the air, that is.

Cape Dashing, I assume, would be quick movement back and forth using Down Special. I guess technically it is "in", but I doubt it would be very useful seeing as the Dimensional Cape has lag. It would be like "Teleport Dashing" with Mewtwo's Air Dodge, but with more lag at the end of each teleport.

5 jumps, >B, shuttle loop to auto glide, all of those provide more recovery than three seconds

Pit has 5 jumps and Gliding to go along with his Up Special, which last longer than Meta Knight's. Plus he appears to be heavier than Meta Knight (this is speculation, you'd have to ask a Pit player for opinion).

 

[Machspeed]

Meta Knight will be hard to kill unless you get a clean KO on him.

Chances are, if he can use a move/fly after you knock him off, he's getting back on.

 

[Gimpyfish62]

edgeguard*

not kill

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Not his up-b, he starts to glide afterwards.

The Glide after shuttle loop causes you to free fall. >_>

 

[miller483]

Well, I'm patient. Bring it on, Metaknight mains!

 

[Jisike]

I'm assuming hes gonna be as light as kirby, so I'm not worried.

 

[Yo~Yo]

im only worried about kiiling him as ike who is apparently slower than bowser

 

[Lgndknight]

Well, I'm patient. Bring it on, Metaknight mains!

it will be brung, don't worry. gimme a day, some vault, and a doctors note from school, and you will be dunked.

 

[miller483]

Ok then, I'll be ready.

 

[Speedsk8er]

He's gonna be a worse IC counter than Jigglypuff! >_<

 

[RoxasXIII]

wow.......

 

[RoxasXIII]

i thought i was the only one to realize that

 

[RoxasXIII]

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 

[RoxasXIII]

yeah, i sed it. jk

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Hey T!mmy, we should try to have a MetaKnight challange online for the new blood here.

Since I know my Mains will be:

Pit (1st priority)
MetaKnight(2nd Priority)
Fox(3rd Priority)
Mario(4th Priority)
Marth(When confirmed)

T think it'll be fun. I got dibs on Dark MetaKnight alt color though.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
my fav mk vid. shows him and sonic in sudden death, mk wins! also, at the end you can hear mk talk in his sexy non-spanishvoice.

 

[Jisike]

^Ugh im glad he got banned.

Eternal, I'll take you on with MK, but i dont think it would be a good match since i didnt use him much (too many other MKs running around)

 

[retro gamer 6]

it seems that mete knight has many advantages, but i think he's as light as kirby. his combos kick ***, so i'm looking forward to play as him, even though kirby is my main still.

 

[Desruprot]

Overall Metaknights voice rocks! He seems powerful when played right (referencing video), he is my main until further notice...Metaknight has very good combos, that is what I require as being a former Falco player...

 

[Drake3]

A few well placed meteors and he'll be gone in no time.

 

[PIT_IS_BACK]

Meta Knight hard to kill? Eh.

Ike's Super Armor during Metaknights combos should do the trick.

 

[ShoTTa]

Look at his special moves. Nearly all of them could be used for recovery.

His standard special move, Mach Tornado, makes him rise off the ground (look at the description).

His side special move, Drill Rush, can be angled (it says slightly, but look at how much he's angled upwards in the screenshot where he hits Ike).

After his up special move, Shuttle Loop, he can glide.

And Dimensional Cape (his down special move) can teleport...we don't know whether that's just to either side on the ground, either.

That is THE same exact thought I had about him. But hopefully he will be like Kirby whereas he will fly far enough with a good hit at about 75% damage.

 

[HeroXL]

My experience playing with him is that he is extremely hard to edge guard. Whenever someone would try to edge guard me I would just use drill rush to get past and back on the stage. I never experimented with the other ones though, there was no need, drill rush did the trick every time.

 

[geemann2236]

He is light, but he has a ridiculous recovery. If you kill MK horizontally, then it is most likely that he is going to be coming back onto the stage, lol. He is floaty though, so it would probably be best to kill him vertically. At E-4-All, I found it incredibly easy to kill MK vertically with Pit, so he isn't that hard to kill. Whenever I Baired him horizontally with Pit (One of his kill moves) MK would always come fluttering back.

 

[t!MmY]

I didn't get to play against many Pit opponents; people mostly used Fox, Meta Knight, Sonic, and Mario. I was wondering what differences lie between the two characters, such as weight, KO power, and speed. I know that Pit's recovery is about as ridiculous as Meta Knights though.

 

[Jisike]

It was really hard to tell who which characters weighed more than others, i thought...

with the exception of bowser (who was SUPER heavy) i couldn't really get a fix on any of the characters weights... i did think that MK was lighter than pit though...

 

[Bosh]

my friend and i have decided to have a showdown me as mk him as pit which should be good he thinks hes got mk figured out but until i actually play against him with mk we shall see who has the last laugh.

lol WTH??!?!? enyways i think gliding would give mk a VERY good advantage especially since he can use his b up move to gain height then glide to gain horizontal distance

 

[Psydon]

I don't think he's gonna be that difficult to kill.

Consider: Kirby isn't that difficult to kill. He has his multiple jumps and Up+B, sure, but he doesn't move that quickly through the air, and he's a light character anyway so he tends to go flying. MetaKnight has better recovery potential, but he still doesn't move fast through the air and his weight is similar to Kirby's. Maybe he'll be a bit tougher to kill as compared to Kirby, but overall he won't be that difficult. I'm sure he'll be easier than Samus, as I'm sure Samus will still have the best weight-to-recovery ratio in the game.

And it makes for a good balance as well.

Low power.
Light weight.
Decent movement speed.
Good recovery.
Godly attack speed.

 

[UltimateLink]

Metaknight is going to be kinda like a samus. Light weight with high, spacey jumps.
He seems like someone who just hits very fast but when he is hit, he goes further than
most characters. I'll say he is more than an average character. He's not overrated or
anything like that. In conclusion, he is a lightweight, fast hitting character. That is just
my opinion though. Oh and also a combo material character.

 

[Mambo]

He should go flying off the screen soon enough. Just need to hit him at the right time. And it looks like his recovery will give you enough time to prepare if he does come back.

 

[Trifas]

After Drill Dash (B>) MK can use Shuttle Loop or any other movement?
