Meta Knight Q&A Thread

[brinboy789]

Does the first swing make the second come out more slowly?

i would assume yes if you hit the opponent, due to hitlag.

Please tell me... 2:03, how does he shield cancel that fast?
Because when I try to do so, I end up sliding...

im pretty sure thats just dash > shield, and undoes shield next second.

 

[Babar-Thorbald]

I've trained a bit, and I just did the shield too early...
(because if you try to do as I did, you'll end up sliding, then shielding).

You answeres your own question. It was a stage spike. You were below the stage as well so when you went into helpless mode you died.

If you were asking about the infinite dimensional cape, yes it is a glitch.

i know infinite dimensional cape is a glitch and i can do it (kinda) wat i ment was is this somthing that happens once in a blue moon or is it sumin i can practice at? the random stage spike it just looked so cool ^^

 

[Tianxiazhai]

if timed correctly, and if your opponent is at low percent, is a rising chasing repeated Uair combo inescapable?

i find with tap jump on cause its a bit smoother they dont get out as much but i prefer to follow em out at the sides with f air rather than u air out the top

[Deoxys]

Yes .

What's the altcode to include blank spaces?

[The Pope Of Pie]

Sorry if this has already been asked but I'm really busy and don't have the time to wade through this entire thread.

I just started playing as Meta Knight and have realised that i don't use his specials very much.
Is this very much of a problem? Should i focus on trying to bring his specials into my game?

Up B es very good to get kills.
Neutral B to rack up %.
Side B to recover.
Down B ... well almost nothing.

You shouldn't spam them but try to bring them into your gameplay

Marth or Kirby. Mostly Marth.

A quick question, what is your favorite counterpick stage? I will typically pick rainbow cruise, against people like snake, falco or anyone I can easily beat out in the air.

 

[Gates]

As Metaknight I usually pick Luigi's Mansion or Norfair. I sometimes go to Rainbow Cruise but if I were going there anyway I'd rather choose Game & Watch.

RC is an okay choice, especially against snake and falco. i usually will just go battlefield, halberd, defino, or luigi's mansion as a last resort. Call me a scrub for not "play to win" or whatever, but I personally hate "gay" stages like brinstar and norfair.
my favorite is pretty much battlefield as I am most accustomed to it.

What's a good throw to use once I've gotten a grab? I've mainly stuck with down throw but recently started using up-throw and back-throw more. Is it purely situational? Or is there a 'better' grab?

 

[Plairnkk]

theyre all good except up.

 

[Kevin]

Sounds good. Is it possible at all to suicide kill with up throw like Kirby in Melee? Not counting moving platforms like on Smashville moving out of the way during an upthrow, but rather on like the side of the ledge, then DIing into death.

D-throw will be your go-to throw, as it can lead to many different follow-ups.

U-throw KO's at high percentages and does 13% max; his strongest throw.

No. You'll always land in the same spot your were at with your U-throw, even if you're on a platform and it moves (assuming there are no platforms above you).

 

[Deoxys]

theyre all good except up.

I'm reluctant to argue with someone who's better than me, but I think they're all good except forward. I mean uthrow does the most damage by itself, can do REALLY low % KOs at a spot on Rainbow Cruise, and can Omnigay.

Good ways to approach a bair happy g&W? Seems to go through my tornado

G&W's B-air doesn't go through tornado. However, Shuttle Loop off the ground is your best option to shut down his B-air.

 

[Tero.]

yahuz grounded up B all day.

You could also wait and let him approach

 

[Kevin]

Yeah I just read the matchup thread, I guess I was pulling out the tornado too slow, I was basically timing it where an up-b would have been perfect. Thanks for the advice

 

[Atria]

Excuse me, is there an operating MK online finder thread? I've used the search function, but characters other than MK came up. I'm just wondering because I play a good MK and I wouldn't mind posting up my details so people can challenge me if they wish. Thanks in advance!

This is the 666th post in the thread, so I feel obligated to ask this.

Is Metaknight the devil?

in blue form maybe he is

No, its the 666th. The OP doesn't count.

Apparently, ITT we debate about whether the OP counts as the first post in the thread.

Spoiler

Affinity's right.

My question: "What is your favorite matchup? Why?"

 

[FB Dj_Iskascribble]

Ill have to say it is the kirby matchup most likely because i know it so well XD

 

[Babar-Thorbald]

falco/marth/mk/wolf... These are the one I like to fight most.

 

[vicious1990]

why is that diddy can easily manuever mk smash attacks

What do you mean by "manuever mk smash attacks?"

 

[M4ssimo]

i need help bad! My friend and I play tons of friendlies. He mains ZSS and for some reason i cant approach well, and i cant keep her above me. He always comes at me with up-airs and since i am a mk i think that my dair is so beast that is better ther her uair. So i always use it but her uair has more range then my dair. I Need some tips on how to rack up dmg on her and keep her above me, as well as the best way to approach a ZSS.

M2k

Dojo or anyone here who knows their stuff, what makes M2K so awesome that he ***** the hardest? How is it that he is so much better than any other MK or player one can imagine? Though he can occasionally lose he's still continuing to **** harder than before.
Does anyone provide an intelligent response telling me how strategically he is better than us all? BTW what is his real name anyway? I've heard in tourneys the commentators only address him as M2K.

Thanks

IDK why you want to know his name, but I hear people call him by his name all the time. His first name is Jason. I'd give you his last name but he might not want me to tell people who ask, lol.

The answer is bc he's the best player, and has been since the final days of melee. He focuses on mastering the relevant matchups, and thus rarely loses, since he is always better than his opponent....

M2K is by far the most efficient MK player and makes nearly no mistakes when playing.

no mistakes? OMG is he God? I saw that he ***** Kevin so hard he left him crying because he made virtually no mistakes during the match. Can anyone define common mistakes you can make with MK and how to prevent them recurring?
