Meta Knight

Oh look, he has some metal parts on his gloves. That's a neat touch.

 

[Skyblade12]

We need to get a subforum going for Meta Knight, he's no longer an "Unconfirmed Smash Veteran".

Don't worry, the mods will probably be on it shortly.

SSE reference?

One of my three favorite scenes in SSE. Where's the Meta Knight/Lucario duel pic, though?

And what about the red decorations on his "shoulders"? He is awesome!

 

[Reila]

The best picture.

Wonder how the Bandanna Dee supporters feel about this...

I didn't notice that until you pointed that out.

 

[Steelia]

lol @ everyone in previous pages who got Sakurai trolled thinking the Mii mask hurt MK's chances.

By the way... does MK's armor take battle damage now or something? Check the shoulder pads...

Bandana Dee can't be a true Smash character until he's beaten by Meta Knight, right?

Well spotted.

Battle damage would certainly be interesting, but I feel like that's something Sakurai would have mentioned sooner.

 

[Neo Zero]

Soon, his reign begins a new. Welcome back Sir Meta Knight!

 

[KingofPhantoms]

SSE reference?

This is honestly my favorite pic on MK's official page. These three epic swordsmen made up one of my favorite groups in the SSE, it's great to see them reunite, looking more amazing than ever.

 

[Warchamp7]

Meta Knight is available for selection as Smash 4 main, including Premium post background

 

[Skyblade12]

Battle damage would certainly be interesting, but I feel like that's something Sakurai would have mentioned sooner.

We've seen hints of it before, though. Only in the screen KOs, but still there.

This is the first I've seen in a standard pic.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

So when Ike get's confirmed, Smash Boards takes forever to upload his pic but when Meta Knight is announced his pic is uploaded in a heartbeat? I'm sensing a strong bias against FE and towards Kirby here.




jk, jk

Congrats MK fans! The Knight has returned in glorious HD!!!

 

[spiderfreak1011]

Well it's nice to see that MK is back, with a few new design additions and a bit of nerfing(hopefully), now we have all 3 Kirby reps. officially back. I wasn't worried a bout him though, i honestly doubted that Sakurai would cut one of his own characters. :\ Im just hoping we get a newcomer this month though.

It would be exceptionally bad marketing to fail to include a newcomer the month before release. We'll get one.

 

[Exate]

Were you people seriously worried Meta Knight would be cut? all they had to do was nerf him hard (think Peach nerf from Melee to Brawl) and then he's good to go.

oh and CONGRATS!

I know a lot of us are convinced Sakurai has bias towards his own creations, but as I see it, any character that isn't the face of the original franchise they hail from (Mario, Kirby, Zelda, Metroid, etc.) is potentially in danger. Maybe I'm nuts — I won't argue if anybody thinks so. But when your favorite character goes a year without an announcement (despite even the showing of their stage returning), you can get a bit worried.

I always expected Captain Falcon to return, but his biggest fans were worried he wasn't going to make the cut. F-Zero has been pretty dead (shame; I loved GX), but he's one of the biggest faces of the Smash Bros. franchise, and a fan-favorite for sure. I suppose he never had any "hints" directed at him since E3 of last year, but case in point: People become concerned for their unannounced favorites, even if it may be pretty likely they will return.

 

[thelastreplicant]

The battle damage is even more apparent in that pic of him using his Final Smash. That's a pretty neat touch.

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

Hey folks. Just here to say that, nerfs pending, I look forward to dethroning all you MK mains from Brawl.

Ciao

 

[DJ3DS]

Welcome back, MK. I would've been surprised if you hadn't returned but it is still nice to get confirmation.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Uh, where? I don't see him very different.

 

[Exate]

Uh, where? I don't see him very different.

His right-side pauldron has a couple of scratches on it.

 

[thelastreplicant]

Also in that Final Smash pic there's a cut on the middle of his mask and on his right foot.

Or I may be blind

 

[LIQUID12A]

My personal congratulations to all Meta Knight supporters. It's nice to see a part of Smash's Unpleaseable Fanbase satisfied.

 

[SuperNintendoKid]

it could just be me but the left of his eyepiece there is dented | bended part on it.

 

[TechPowah]

Attention, Meta Knight Fans!

I love his armored gloves and pupils! Shuttle Loop's repurposing sounds neat, too.

 

[New_Dumal]

Shuttle Loop really deserved to be changed...
But I expect it continues being a kill-move, even with fixed knockback angle.

Also, I don't understand why take off the glide from Pit and Metaknight ... when Palutena have it.
It's weird MK don't be able to glide anymore.
In Brawl that two glides were overwhelming , true.... but no one ?
He just looks ... glid-ish

 

[T-Hell]

Wonder how the Bandanna Dee supporters feel about this...

Even more optimistic than before because they consider MK's reveal as a possible last step until Bandana's reveal :/

 

[TeaTwoTime]

No surprises here, but congrats all the same. Hopefully he is more balanced than in Brawl and that MK players don't receive the flak they received for playing him this time around.

Palutena's "glide" is a special move, so it doesn't really act like a glide did in the past game, it's more like a special move version of Peach's second jump.

Gliding was one of Meta Knight's main tools, it was waaaay too powerful. Now all we need is a nerf to Mach Tornado and hopefully he shouldn't be as overpowered anymore. I do still root for him being high tier regardless, just not top.

Really? lol. I suppose hope is the last one to die.

With Waddle Dees as enemies in Smash Run and Parasol Waddle Dee as a trophy, I really can't see the bandana one being playable.

 

[Ultra*HappyCharge]

HOOOOORAY FOR METAKNIGHT!!!!

 

[ROBnWatch]

Good to see him back. The FS snapshot looks really good. Also, am I the only one who noticed his new gloves first thing?
