Hello, I'm Jasku. I need an extremely good Meta Knight to train, so I can learn the matchup. We can exchange information about our characters, and since Sonic is a pretty hate character, I guess many of you want to know how to beat the crap out of him. My NNID is: Jasku-sq2

I want to talk about this list I saw produced in the Skype Group.


I don't really care about where I am compared to others but I shared this on Facebook since I have a lot of MKs added and a lot of them are scratching their heads. Zinoto wants to know why he's even on here lmao. Like seriously, are we gonna just look at every pocket MK that exists on Youtube? Do we just rank based off who can death combo the best or do you guys consider the other stuff....like the rest of the character?

I think this list is not all that accurate. But I wanna hear what others think.

Pretty sure it wasn't a collaborative effort, I think it is mainly WN2's opinion. Zinoto's comment thread was hilarious rofl, saw that.

At this moment in time, in general, good MKs are the ones who are consistent with the death combo since it is ludicrously powerful and there is next to nothing so far in terms of how to avoid dying to it, while we find more and more ways to set up into it. It makes sense to me. In any case, Katakiri is ranked above Lucia and from what I've seen Lucia's punish game is very crisp, but his neutral isn't as good as Katakiri's, so it's not all about the combo.

idk enough about the MKs below top level to comment on them. Doesn't look too bad to me though.

A guide that I learned things from.

I thought those died in April.

EDIT: Oh I forgot to mention that I went to some tournament in Canada on Tuesday; just 20 entrants. But I won without dropping a game all day lmao. I didn't even drop a stock until bracket. Tomorrow is the championship event of a long going circuit event here in MI. I'm in the final 16 so I'm excited. I also have some things to test out.

Also Amadeus9 Amadeus9 thanks for reminding me about Trigger Jump, I labbed it for a few hours and it helped a lot. I was two stocking my training partner left and right lol

Trigger jump?

I never tried it even I don't press R like ever lol. I just claw and play like that, feels easier for me, just a matter of personal taste I guess

So at Smash club at my college last night, I unleashed the wrath of MK on people and I ended up putting them on tilt. Eventually I had to go on a different setup because all of them got salty and basically didn't want to deal with me anymore.

Just something I wanted to share.

I have giant hands (come with the territory of being 6'4'') so clawing feels hella awkward for me lol

I placed 5th at my local tournament a while ago. Felt so good. Also, if you have not seen this, I suggest you watch it.

Hey is there a more consistent way to perform Uair string to UpB? I understand the Set-Ups and percents where Uair is gauranteed from dash attack and dthrow but i can never get the string going properly or I drop it and whiff the UpB. I've been working hard to have MK be my comain and dont feel like I'll actually be able to do anything with him without getting this down to a T. I've heard of different controller functions like using tap jump and I've been trying just using Y + A for it but I keep dropping the combo or misinputting a Fair. Could anyone help me out?

I didn't know I was supposed to. I'll try doing that. Anything else?
Something to add... You still should jump with the u airs, but fast falling lets you catch them when they are closer to the ground.

And people always tell me "how can you do aerials with C?! eww!!"
Ever since Brawl I did that to actually be able to move whenever I want when doing any aerial lol

And about that MysmashCorner video, is all of that info legit? I thought Dthrow > Bair spike wasn't guaranteed, unless prople didn't DI, which never ever happens

Gotcha. What's this trigger jumping I'm hearing about? Is that just using a trigger and Cstick for the aerial string? That's what I've been doing lately.

People need to understand that when you are playing MK you need to approach the MU like Brawl Ice Climbers. Just don't get touched, or you'll probably die.
