Yeah, Meta Knight is fast, and has very good move succession, but it seems like he has absolutely NO good finishing moves. Am I right to say that?

Just chase your opponent to the side of the screen. Of course Meta Knight doesn't have a lot of finishing moves.

If MK did have awesome finishing moves, he would be unstoppable and overpowered. Every character has a weakness in brawl, and lack of finishing moves happens do be MK's.

This is probably the best way to get sure KOs.

Getting the opponent in the air is MK's priority, and then off stage is second. Once they're off stage, chase them. A dair will usually do the trick, and if you're good enough to do a reverse shuttle loop, then that is an excellent way.

Most of his moves won't kill opponents right away if they're on the stage before ~180-200% (most of the time)

Aggressive edgeguarding, as I call his midair hunting attacks, is the easiest way to get kills with Meta.

As for actually finishers, moves with good knockback, I'd say F Smash, D Smash, Shuttle Loop, and Glide Attack are his killers. Even so, get those damage percentages up first, keep the attacks coming for the win!

MetaKnight would be broken if he had as many good finishers as other characters, but it's definitely wrong to say he has none. Anyway, he doesn't need real KO moves; as has been stated, he's meant to 1) chase enemies off the screen to the point where they simply can't recover, 2) glide back to safety, 3) point and laugh and gloat.

Also, after using an Up B or dsmash if your opponent gets back to the edge before you can edge hog spam his down A at the edge. If you're successful with that it makes the perfect opportunity for a dair

He doesn't really need too many finishers, can just harass them off the stage. But if you insist, you can up B or fsmash. Downsmash works too as stated above, but fsmash seems to make them go farther, but has a short delay before it happens.
