Except he's fat.
1) Lag on moves (he lags :O how?!?!?... simple if u notice all his moves must attack front and back. Punish after the frontal attack)
Here, he defines Metaknight's dsmash as "all his moves."
No here i mean all his moves hit all around him. Fsmash hits from behind. Upsmash hits from behind. Dsmash is just the one more noticable.
Fsmash and usmash are hardly ever used by good MKs, even still usmash barely has any lag. Fsmash probably has the most lag of all his attacks but it's still fractional compared to a majority of the cast. Again, you neglect his tilts, his aerials, and his specials...
And yet again he still lags. after his tilt he cant move rite away run and shield DUH. hit aerials lag likewise his special.
Only if he attacks with all three ftilts which even Mew2King recommends not doing. What you don't understand is that there is close to no lag and the fact that a majority of his attacks are disjointed so you can't just simply retaliate as soon as the attack is done or shield grab like with most characters.
2) But but tornado...... But but FOOTSTOOL noob.
He's basically just talking out of his butt here. A majority of pros can't even pull this off consistently and here he says "LOLZ, ETZ EAZY GUIZ!"
Thats cuz pros get to nervous and try to air dodge it.
... even pros have said the best way to counter it without a cancelling attack is to
stay on the ground and angle your shield up. What in God's name are you talking about?
Rofl do you even know what a pro is. the only time u shuld shield up to block it is if ur on the ground and he does it. If he has u in the air or if ur air camping which is what u SHULD BE DOING then u footstool to avoid it. what are you talking about...
Mew2King and Overswarm are "nOObs", huh? Also, how do you footstool him if you're stuck in the tornado? Several people have even come out and said that footstooling does not stop the tornado so, again, your claims are completely bogus. Also, air camping against Metaknight. I laughed long and hard about that one.
3) Updefense is terrible.
Is updefense even a term? If he's referring to have trouble with attacks from above, this is still wrong because uair, usmash, and nair have high priority and protect the entire top of his head. Let's not forget the tornado two where, on average, every character only has one attack that can penetrate the tornado from above and that's only IF they land it directly on top.
Updefense means he dies quick going up learn ur defenses.
Unlike someone like ROB, Metaknight has a decent number of attacks to protect him from below. Regardless, this arguement has been brought up time and time again and has shown to be terrible because it neglects everything else that makes Metaknight great. Wario can kill Metaknight off the top with a well placed waft as low as 60%, Luigi can do it at about the same with the Shuroyuken (ie; fire uppercut), Ike can do it on medium stages at about 70% with the usmash, but are ANY of these characters considered Metaknight counters? No, all of these are 70-30 or worse. Again, you talk as if this is completely easy and everyone but YOU is doing it wrong.
those are just killing examples which just backup my statement lmfao. the fact is he still dies fast and even faster going up. and luigi can just uptilt his forward smash...
And yet the match up is still 80-20 in Metaknight's favor. Are you going anywhere with this? Also, Game and Watch is the second lightest character in the game and he's, I believe, fourth from the top. Why? Because, like Metaknight, there's more to him than just his weight which you are horribly underplaying.
4) but but he can glide attack and it killz... but but u can powershield to anything.
A smart Metaknight isn't going to just attack with this attack at any height. Most good players will attack close to the ground so they can immediately cancel it into something else.
It doesnt matter how close to the ground they get. U shield it, it lags him period.
If they even attack you, that is. Like how a good Ike isn't always going to try directly attacking with a quickdraw, a good Metaknight isn't always going to attack with the slash at the end of the glide/shuttle loop
90% of the time he is... and who uses ike anyways... only nubs and people who play the game for fun. Ike isnt tournament winning material so use a better example next time...
Okay, a good Falco isn't always going to attack directly with the Falco Phantasm (over B). All three of the attacks mentioned in this section can be used for spacing and even retreating from a tight spot but you assume that people will always use them the exact same way.
5) his range is broken... like i said he lags on his moves...
Here, he clearly mistakes Metaknight with Ike or Donkey Kong. Poor guy.
Def. not. noob needs to play outside his house more.
But you talk as if Metaknight has an enormous amount of lag when he whiffs attacks. Heck, he even has three moves that can be cancelled upon other attacks upon landing (dash attack, dtilt, and shuttle loop). Do you even know who Metaknight is? He's the little blue guy with the metal mas... no, that's Kirby; go down one... as I was saying, with the metal mask... that's Samus... I said down, not left... with a cape... For Christ Sake's, that's Marth... Are you doing this on purpose?
Regardless lag is always punishable. If you to slow to react thats your problem. Why dont you go play some dj max to work on your reflexes
That's the thing, it's not soley my problem; at this time, it's the community's. Again, these "Everyone sucks but me" examples are getting old.
6) THERES NO WAY TO EDGE GUARD HIM!!! ..... silly noob u can spike him if not space ur aeriel so that itll cancel with his glide attack and punish afterwards.. expect an upb tho noob.
Metaknight has five methods of recovery with four being decently dependible: gliding, shuttle loop, dimensional cape, tornado, and triple dash. Congrats, you came up with an obvious method for one of his recoveries... Yes, Metaknight can be edgeguarded but it's consideribly harder compared to the rest of the cast.
Gliding u do a move with same priority. Shuttle loop can be spiked or use a move that sticks out. Dimensional cape requires reading him if u think hes guna go for the edge get on it if hes guna go on stage charge up a move. Triple dash wtf? forward B? thats probbably his only safest move with u can still knock him out with the angle/attack. Congrats and thanks.
Gliding: Even if he decides to go under the stage? Also, how many Metaknight's are just going to "allow" you to spike them in mid-glide? The same can be asked about the shuttle loop when he can easily cancel with an attack that covers more than half his body and has more priority than a majority of the game's moves. Dimensional cape: this is the least used method and is usually only done in close edgeguarding situations like if you try to edgeguard him, fail, and then he beats you back to the stage. Triple dash: Angle attack? Do you mean an angled attack? You are aware that the move can be adjusted to change the angle of it's course, right? You talk as if the person is going to go straight forward, land right at your feet and then, in a triumpant voice, you yell "Ha ha, I'll shall smite thee" before launching him into oblivion with a full charged Smash attack.
First of all its not during his glide that u spike him its when he UpB's. If your like bum u can always pull that off but then again ur definition of "pro" is sum1 who ranks 20 and below. Thats exactly what u do lol "I shall smite thee" *fixed* lol get ***** again. and i still dont kno what the hell is a triple dash lmfao. but angle ur moves to cover either more on the lower side or more above duh thats what angling is.
So what you're saying is that the player needs to be directly above him, somehow avoid the "looping slash" at the beginning, and then adjust himself while still in the air to land a spike? That's basically what you said... The triple dash is the name of Metaknight forward B attack. You are aware that not every character can angle their ftilt/fsmash, right? Ugh, why do I bother...
ya nub just got JV 4 STOCKED GET *****
The English Language just cried... Yep, you sure have done your fair share of "pwning nOObs" today, haven't you or, as the highly intelligent inhabitants of game FAQS like to say, OMGWTFLOLBBQOBYNBYOBASAP!
ROFLCOPTERSZ ur still on my pwnt list
