There are characters on brawl that have a less difficult time against the high speed no lag ******* meta knight. And guess what there all low tier . In this blog I will list each and every character that can give mk a hard time himself and of corse this is all player dependent..
toon link-I've watched many toon links meet there down fall to mk player simply because they play the match up wrong. Toon link is projectile based so playing run away is part of the game plan but on you can take the fight to mk as well. Mk up B is not a safe move if missed the perfect counter for this is toon links powerful up air. Toon link also stops nado crazy mk. Mk has a harder time getting in on toon link if the match up is played right. Jab mk shield to fool him into using up B and punish with up air. Control mk with your projectiles and Zair. TL is one of the few characters that can pressure mk while he planks. Use your bombs catch him when he is on his 4th or 5th jump or out of his up B and grab the ledge this puts him in a bad situation which could lead to a possible mk GIMP!!! InvinciBomb is a must use in this fight because there nothing better then the look on sum ones face after they jus got tricked then blown up for a follow up for the kill lol.
Ness-ness outranges mk with his fair believe it or not. Ness can build damage on mk fairly easy with this move and the fact that pk fire still ignites if it hit nado. And landing I grab on a mk that isn't doing so much defending against grabs shouldn't b to hard. Mk players play well against characters that there use to playing ness would b one of the rare characters that an mk has nvr faced. Of course mk still has the ability to easily gimp ness but not if yu play right yu will nvr end up in that position.
Sheik-idk why people would even call this an even match up. To me it's 55-45 sheik in favor because his speed and mix ups can cause problems for any character but on mk he has that wonderful DACUS set up which can count for 25+ damage per grab. No other character has such a set up although learning to land such a difficult tech out of every grab but if you can learn ic chain grab then you can learn this. This not only give mk damage but it always kills him at 100% but it's a little Q dependent if it will kill at that percent.
Those are three low tier chars that mk will have problems with but no one seems to have the skill needed to perform at high level. But to destroy meta you must shut down all of his approaches and make him approach like an average char. This can be hard without the right tools cause TL is the only character mentioned above able to do such a thing so keep that in mind.
