MK is 2good, though his move recovery at the end lag somewhat.

Meta's attacks come out fast, but that doesn't make him a fast character. From what I saw, the speed of characters were all fairly similar with the exception of Sonic's amazing dash. Meta Knight's air speed is pretty bad.
And don't think that his Smashes are any good. They're all very weak. Meta himself is "light" but the mechanics of the game (and the unfamiliarity of characters for everyone) made it so I didn't die very easily. I felt like I could survive forever compared to Kirby.

I would think he would be pretty good against people like Bowser. He has very quick attacks and although they don't send the opponent very far, they are supposedly very good for racking up high amounts of damage.

mk can kill, he just needs to rack up damage first. i don't think this will be much of a problem seeing as he gives lots of damage quickly. i think the amount of damage he needs opponents to have in order to kill them and the speed that he gives damage will even each other out.

O.K guys leave at this. MK's awesome no matter which way we look at it BUT, his knock back other than his smashes and up b suck, and his over-all maneuverability is another aspect that he lacks in. Once people find a way around his sword, he's screwed. It's hard to find, but not impossible, so i believe that when the game is picked up by everyone and they realize all the attacks and develop counters depending on their main, MK will be just another high tier character.

Do you feel safe assuming he's high-tier? We can't leave at this until Feb 12, when we've got the game in America, poor Europe, and we can see whats what.

I would say that it will take longer than the release date. All sorts of new ways to play and use a character will be found out in time that could change everything.

Also, didn't you mention that his down aerial had meteor properties? Do you think it could be useful?
Meta Knight does well agains strong players like bowser. Observe:

yeah i was shocked in a good way.
I never realized how awesome meta knight looks just standing still. :bigthumbu Oh yeah and the combo on Corneria was amazing! 
Ok so many agree that Meta is quite not a top and maybe even not High tier material. But seriously, who cares? He IS Meta Knight. I love this character since i saw him in" Revenge of Meta Knight" on my SNES. I was overjoyed when i was able to play as him in "Nightmare in Dreamland" and i am thrilled to play as him in Brawl. He will be my 2nd main and surely i will have a lot of playing time with him. Its just like Gimpy said in his videos. Sure every character has weakness and every character can be played good if you accept them and try to find a way around them. I shal develop my MK gameplay so i can truly be good with him.
