Meta Knight users, I need help!

[superyoshi888]

So I am arguing with someone else on another forum about Falco, Meta Knight, and King Dedede. Another Member has already proved him wrong, as have I, yet he always seem to come up with the stupidest arguments. He is convinced Falco is superior to Meta Knight due to a list of "reasons", so I gave a similar list of reasons for Dedede, but then he apparently "proved me wrong". Anyways, he also claims that Meta Knight's Dimensional Cape is a counter like Marth's and Ike's, since you avoid the attack, then come up behind him and strike. But that is what wrong with his argument: you AVOID, not BLOCK. You can use it to attack, not just to counter attacks.

I would like to say one other thing before I go back there: this same person said that "Kaiju(monsters like Godzilla) regeneration is the same as dodgeing, since you come out with no damage."

Falcois really good though. I don't want to get into mk vs falco but falco isn't a bad person to face metaknight his reflector keeps him somewhat safe and puts mk at a distance.. and we all know we don't want MK getting close.

Him saying DC is a counter is just plain stupid. You clearly said why.

Dimensional Cape is not, has not, and will never be anything close to a counter; a better comparison would be DC vs. Pikachu's/Lucario's ↑ B, since they both provide some form of evasive movement, and you can be easily knocked out of either one with very little risk involved.
I.e. Not a counter, since it does nothing to intercept an incoming attack. Avoid, yes, intercept, no

And yes, like ShaolinAce said, you got it right yourself.

Also, from the Godzilla reference; Regeneration would occur after damage has been inflicted, since it essentially reverses the effect; Dodging, on the other hand, prevents damage from ever occuring. In a nutshell, they both have the same ending result, yes; but they take different steps to get there.

/end rant ^_^

No... Just No...

Uh.... Marth's and Ike's involves blocking/parrying the attack, and hitting them back NOT BEHIND THEM. The DC lets you dodge and move quickly, and you are not obligated to attack them, or even come up behind them.

Sorry, your friend is just plain stupid.
