Metaknight's tornado?

[dizzam]

This move is insanely annoying when someone spams it... and I need help to find a way to counter this. I found that moves with higher priority can hit him out of it but usually I'm already sucked into it to do anything. Any suggestions?

who do you play as?

 

[Elemental Knight]

I play as Snake and Ike mainly, and there's no stopping the tornado in any way, shape, or form. I hate that move so, so much.

if you don't have an adequate attack/projectiles to stop the tornado, then just dodge the mkplayer and punish his miss.

If the tornado was as simply as dodge and punish you wouldnt see most guides, posts even in this forum suggest you spam it for damage.

I play MDK's meta and I can assure you in the right hands The tornado is pretty much unpunishable after its done if your using it correctly, once you space yourself after the lag is minimal enough that you can avoid being punished., unless the Meta makes a spacing mistake or the opponent has a fast projectile.

Anyway moving on, with snake, the grenades are the counter to tornado, if he wants to spam tornado try to keep a grenade in hand so that when you go to roll away or block it, the tornado sets off the grenade.

Depends on your character, some character simply wont be able touch him.

Shield and/or Roll and if they are nowhere near the ground when it stops you can easily punish them since you go into special fall after it ends IIRC

It's good to know that grenades can work, but the notion that I can't get anywhere near MK lest he destroy me with the tornado is not exactly appealing.
