Meta Knight Q&A Thread

[Hoenn]

How do you consistently tornado without them popping out? I heard there was a rythem or something.

Also, I figured out that level 6 CPUs air dodge to what I needed, That level 1 idea is pretty smart though

hey guiz i invented a tactic. so agains ics if u beat nana and ur up in percent just camp out the sopo cuz the only way that garbo character cud beat or catch mk is if u approached. at that point u either time him out or wait for him to rage and kill himself to get nana back lol

 

[Hoenn]

@ net1234 Yeah I've done that, very few people actually abuse this though, nobody wants to play that "lame" Personally I will do that if It is an ice climber that I seriously respect, but I prefer getting in ICs faces because I'm good at conditioning them to always shield, then I just grab and kill nana lol

This strategy has actually occurred in top level play. At Apex 2013, Otori played just like this against Vinnie (youtube.com / watch?v=1mThSQlCHHE), and ANTi played a full set like this to 2-0 9B (youtube.com / watch?v=dwv06J4Sqog).

I think ZeRo shows that with enough technical ability, a high pressure game is much more efficient and therefore preferable vs ICs players -- see his KTAR 8 play against NAKAT (youtube.com / watch?v=8LXwRtfmRRg) and Vinnie (youtube.com/watch?v=XxuSH-wPa44), for example.

Also, is there any way that you guys mix up your vertical recovery?
Or is it just like, jump uair jump uair jump uair cape/shuttle loop?

Not until I make 10 posts.

It's annoying.

I need some help fighting Toon Link.

A Toon Link I fight a lot uses his Down Air ALL the time, and I can't figure out a good way to punish it. I can usually roll away or shield it, but I can never punish him quickly enough.

Is there a good way to punish Toon Link's Down Air? Or is it best to just get out of the way?

Utilt should eat right through it.
UpB from the ground has nice invincibility frames to beat that thing.
You could also simply run out of the way and run back and grab or anything when he tries to pull the sword back from the ground.
It's like the least safe thing he can throw out. MK beats TL really hard.

If you can read/react on time to roll away, buffer a Dash-something, Dash Attack and Dashgrab are both good options there.

 

[Jetstream]

Okay, thanks As soon as he saw I knew how to punish it, he stopped using it at all

 

[Sur Fartsalot]

How do you glide after two jumps with met-knight? If this has been posted somewhere else can someone post the link? Thanks

 

[Yams Everywhere]

jump and then hold x/y and down

Getting back into Brawl (trying to revive it).

I want to start by asking about Dthrow's follow ups, I can't remember why DThrow was so good.

 

[Yams Everywhere]

Haven't played brawl in a while either, but IIRC fair is the main follow up. That can lead into things like down tilt or potentially another fair. And I'd be super down with having the brawl scene revived in Louisiana. I hope it works out.

 

[-Se7en-]

Brawl isn't dead. People who like the game just need to stand up. Being a TO isn't too hard.

 

[ぱみゅ]

At lower percentages, Dash Attack is a good followup. Low-mid, Fair. Mid-ish, Uair (not guaranteed).

It's better to stay in the ground and wait for your opponent to act and punish accordingly.

 

[Waddle!]

Ah yes, Brawl Meta Knight. Now for the question, how many up-airs could MK do in one full-hop in Brawl? I forgot.

Short hop: 3
Full hop: 4

So the name pretty much says it all. To make this short, I've noticed that alot of the threads in these boards consist of little simple questions that can be answered with a quick and simple answer.

Now to stop the flow of all that nonsense, if you have a quick question about the Knight feel free to ask here instead of posting a thread about it. I, along with a number of other people around here, can help you out. It helps clear the boards out for more advanced MK discussions to help all of us get better.

So if you have quick questions over
Moves
Finishers
Approaches
Follow ups
Defenses
Edgeguarding
Combos
Matchups
Or other random ****

Ask away...

combos
Im not a Big fan
