Meta Knight Q&A Thread

[Zinc Elemental]

You guys are waiting your demise of MK being banned because if its not happening soon the competitive enviroment you all love so much is going to end so learn to play a new character.....Please and im not trying to be an a** about this but MK is obviously way to broken and needs to be banned.

Doesn't seem like too much of a question to me...

 

[Alternate275]

So I'm sure this has been asked already... But can anybody please explain something about Meta-Knight's hitbox behaviors for his Final Smash?

If anybody can, explain any/all details for the hitbox and it's conduct.

To hit anybody, you have to make MK's cape touch another character when he initiates his final smash. The character that touches his cape takes around 40% and receives a lot of knockback while everyone else on the screen takes around 14% and receives little knockback.

I'm surprised I even remember that

Dojo, we all understand that a tier list simply reflects the overall results of high-skilled players facing off in the competitive scene. The list does not however say anything about individual match-ups. With that being said, how would you rank each character against MK in a tier fashion?

No. That thread is really inaccurate.

Yeah, it's pretty inaccurate... At least some of the matchups are right....

 

[Zinc Elemental]

50/50 (even matchup)

Mr. Game & Watch

Hylian disagrees: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=198110

It's pretty inaccurate overall, though, especially for the evens.

I have a question:

http://www.smashboards.net/showthread.php?p=5575543&posted=1#post5575543

Look at the Puffball vs. DMK videos on the bottom.

Is there any real way for me to get around that kind of playstyle effeciently?

 

[I S1NC0 I]

Yo I got one short question with a long answer. Here it is: Who are the characters Meta Knight is best against? Could someone please make a list and post it responding to this post? I know some of the charcters he's good against but I want a complete list so I can use it to choose who I play as Meta Knight against.

 

[Affinity]

Meta Knight has no bad match-ups. He can be used against any other character.

I thought at least some characters were good against him, like Snake.

 

[AndrewCarlson]

Meta Knight's worst match-ups are either neutral (which some still dispute) or 55-45 in his favor.

 

[Kookie]

Nope. That is not the case anymore, I'm afraid.

 

[Zinc Elemental]

Good against MK means approximately neutral (or a bit in MK's favor). Snake isn't one of those people anymore.

MKs worst match-ups are Diddy and Yoshi, both who are arguably either 50-50 or 45-55 against him.

If it's a tournament that uses the SBR recommended ruleset, MK is favored against Diddy at least 55-45 unless Diddy chooses to eliminate Rainbow Cruise.

what is MK's best matchup?

 

[choknater]

Your MK needs serious work.

 

[Mac_Master92]

Could you maybe tell me a general strategy or technique against R.O.B? His recovery is so good I'm having trouble with him.

Lol bowser.

 

[Deoxys]

Lol bowser.

No, bowser can CG him and has strong CP options. Bowser's in the harder half of MK's matchups.

My Question: Who can hit MK after SDIing out of a Fair before the move is finished?

 

[Ankyfdarkness]

Can i get some help on some good drill rush attack useses.

I woud all so like to know a good stratege to beat Ice climbers.

 

[Discolicious]

The usage is limited. You can recover well with it, its his best recovery option when he needs to go up and SL won't cut it.

Edgecancels with it are flashy, but its normally not your best option.

 

[aeghrur]

Captain falcon, Ganon, or luigi.

When you don't need all the height of DR, but you need more height than SL would give you at the moment, you can jump into a Nado so that you keep momentum and go up higher than shuttle loop would get you.

 

[JCav]

quick question, do you guys have framerate data on metaknight?

if yes, please show me

and if no, i will do it- as comprehensively as i can

Only the startup frame data on attacks (see end of MK info thread).

 

[DemonicTrilogy]

Does anyone have any tips on how I can do a successful Reverse shuttle loop instead of doing a fail one and suiciding with drill rush?

This is pretty obvious, but just make sure you're only slightly tilting the control stick to the direction you want to SL; too much and you'll DR.

[da K.I.D.]

first two hits of f/b-air to grab/ down smash/shuttle loop
rising down air to glide attack with out jumping again

are these possible and do they combo

 

[Kaotical]

Since this is the Q/A thread, here it goes:

What do you all think is an efficient way to edge-guard if the opponent is down and low off the stage? If they're high and away, it's obvious. What to do when they're low and away?

I usually try and drop with an aerial to bat them away or up-b to spike them off of a ledge. Sometimes I will try and 'nado or drill them near the ledge, grab the ledge, then aerial.

D-air is your best option if your opponent is "low and away."
