Meta Knight Q&A Thread

[Orion*]

Why aren't more of your posts like this?

because i shouldnt have to spend hours in front of a computer to get my point to people?

 

[-LzR-]

BPC does and people have trouble reading so they just assume the whole wall of text is full of the word SCRUB.

 

[JOE!]

Well, after I got the #'s for the nado...

it's damage per hit is actually very well in-line with most other moves in the game.

Only difference is that it's so easy to hit with <.<

 

[Enzo]

yeah it is, i checked
troll moar plz

yeah if your playing large characters like bowser or DK lol

 

[CaliburChamp]

I wonder why I don't see more MK's using FF SH F-air to Up+B. It combo's if the last hit of F-air doesn't hit, makes it easier to land a kill at high %.

 

[Player-4]

It'd be much easier/safer just to do FF SH Fair to Dsmash

 

[Gates]

I have a question:

Since the ROB boards flooded our social and got it locked, why don't we flood their social and get it locked?

 

[Player-4]

Do as you please, I'll probably re-open the thread in the morning

 

[Gates]

B* tchin'.

 

[*JuriHan*]

god **** what the **** happened i dont post in mk social for awhile then it gets locked? My question is why do you guys suck so much without me?

 

[milesg2g]

Who are you?

 

[Player-4]

Go look at the mess the Rob's made, then all your questions will be answered

 

[SethT]

Speaking of Robs...

How does one go about beating them? I've heard the match up is pretty heavily in MK's favor but why?

 

[Luxor]

According to OS, it's because ROB has 0 options vs. Nado.

 

[Browny]

hahahahaha

according to OS... oh man that could very well be a meme in itself.

 

[Dojo]

Tornado is legitimately bad for them.

Plus edgeguarding them isn't very hard. They have to come up with some kind of aerial so you hover a jump distance away wait for the aerial to come then punish accordingly.

 

[Excellence]

I'm playing this match-up as Wario so try and answer accordingly, please. Where is Meta Knight most vulnerable in this match-up? If both characters are on the ground and facing one another, Meta Knight can wall Wario. If both characters are on the ground and Wario is close, Wario generally has the advantage. If Meta Knight is on the ground and Wario is above him who wins that? If Wario is on the ground and Meta Knight is above him DAir camping or just baiting who wins that? In the air, it seems like Meta Knight beats Wario on all accounts. I guess a simplified question is, in what zones does Wario have the advantage against Wario?

 

[demonictoonlink]

MK SHOULD NOT try to Dair camp Wario. Wario wins that fight. It won't always work, but you should be able to punish Dair on shield with Fair, nair, and sometimes Uair iirc.

MK for the most part seems to win on the ground (Ftilt mostly, dtilt, Shuttle loop, Fsmash and dsmash)

The main thing in this matchup is that MK hits more but Wario hits harder. You should be air camping until you have a fart about ready before going in if you're going to approach at all. That way you'll have trouble getting in, but when you do it will hurt.

 

[Enzo]

how do i edgeguard DK?

 

[-LzR-]

It's pretty hard. I prefer ledgedropped bairs or fair. I don't like dair for that. The safest method is nado, but it pops him up.

 

[Exdeath]

how do i edgeguard DK?

Dair while above him, Uair>stuff while below him, Up-B while below him (going beneath the stage so that you either hit him or he avoids Up-B but you can still land on stage cancel before he reaches the ledge).

What are your controls when playing as MK?

 

[Kaffei]

I use default controls.

 

[-LzR-]

I also approve default controls. I just set my R to attack since it's mostly unused. I might use it when I play Rob, makes things easier, but yeah...

 

[Today]

Hm! Okie doke! Thanks guys! I use Ygrab because I can't get use to Z button.

When you guys are dair camping do you use tap jump then? Or X/Y? I'm just now getting use to tap jump. Thanks again!

 

[Kaffei]

When I dair camp, I claw. I jump with X, which is pressed by my index finger, and dair with down C, which is pressed by my thumb. I press them almost simultaneously. This is the most effective way to dair camp IMO.
Any time I do a dair in the air I claw it, then I move my index finger away when I'm not dairing or whatever.

like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwgjk8cA8Lg

I don't ever use tap jump to actually jump, it's just there and I really don't care about it lol. i guess it helps with up b oos that's about it. Oh and JC tossing.

 

[Player-4]

Tap jump off and Y to grab for me

I Dair camp by doing rising Dairs with X for jump and A for my attacks, sorta rolling my thumb in order

 

[theunabletable]

I dair camp by hitting Y with my thumb, then bringing it straight down to hit the C stick.

It feels pretty natural and works for me.

 

[etecoon]

standard controls

I move to claw any time I go into the air pretty much

 

[Orion*]

omg weve gone over controls so ****ing much

use what you like >_>

 

[Today]

Thanks, guys!
I do have a tough time going from x then quickly hitting down c stick. Or it's not tough, it's just not as fast.
I feel like claw would make more sense, but the feel is strange since it's new. XP I'll try it out and see if I can adapt to it, though. If not, I'll stick with the not as fast x to c stick.
@P-4, You use A ariel? Hm. Interesting! O:

 

[Player-4]

Yeah, I'm trying to work in more C Stick aerials for DI purposes and for retreating Fairs

 

[Orion*]

always cstick airs imo (other than nair obv)

 

[Kaffei]

M2K does claw btw lolololol

 

[Today]

@P-4, Yeah!! I can imagine that being difficult with the A button. Aha. >.<;
Yeah, and retreating fairs as well. Ariels are much better used with c stick.

I realized that I kind of like setting R to attack (no springs) and jumping with my thumb and attacking with my index finger. I'll still play around, though. I honestly wouldn't mind claw method it's just sooo weird. XP Aha. Thanks, guys!

 

[Budget Player Cadet_]

I just Y->A for dair camping... holding the control stick down. Too lazy to claw.

 

[Staco]

I just Y->A for dair camping... holding the control stick down. Too lazy to claw.

I do the same.
I don´t see why claw should make my DAir camping better in any way.

 

[Player-4]

It's all personal preference, people need to get that lol

 

[Orion*]

because then you dont have to push down on your control stick every time you dair

meaning in a tournament setting, when you DO **** UP because you WILL EVENTUALLY, or someone reads your **** you will be holding some dumb *** direction instead of being ready to, or already properly di''ing to save your stock

its not preference LMAO, its called youre being lazy

 

[FB Dj_Iskascribble]

yeah use cstick for aerials. that way you can di and space better. Claw or no claw has no advantages besides preference. Default is good because you can upb oos easier but there is ways around that too. Dair camping is kinda overated imo. Its not useful in most matchups, or the ones that matter anyway.

day you should train with me sometime i can help your mk
