Will meta have his own shine?

[j.rob]

in the first trailer meta is shown using his cape to deflect pits arrow back to him.

if this is a move in the game and seeing that it is verry similar to foxs shine and if it (and the verry impotant bit) actualy does damage. then do you lot think we could be doing shine combos wid meta?

all though i dont think we would nickname it shine any ideas?
i say vanish or mirror but im a noob anyway so they probz aint the best.


DISCUSS!
shine/mirror/vanish combos wid meta

I think it's just a deflector, such as Mario's cape.
It probably does no damage to the other opponent unless the projectile which was sent back, hits the target.

Hah! HAH! I KNEW someone would post a topic about whether Metaknight has a shine! Hail to the prophet! Hail!


Also, no.

Mario's cape does damage :0

In fact, I don't think there's a deflector in the game that does no damage.

EDIT: Everyone, new challenge! Find a deflector with no hitbox

I can't see it doing any damage of it's own. In fact, It didn't really look like it got sent back, if I remember correctly. It looked like is just dissipated.

@ SSJ4: Link's Hylian Shield. You said DEflector, not REflector

Toad (Peach's nB does no damage unless you hit it--and you could probably count Roy and Marth's counters, too)

Oh...and everyone's shield (other than powershielding)

Lol, that must of slipped my mind =/
Powersheild is a deflector... =)

^^ Ness' vB absorbs, not deflects.

At first I thought the projectile went straight through him, but I remembered wrong. I skipped through the trailer again quick and it did indeed just dissipate.

Heck, that might be his actual block animation. Hopefully we'll know soon enough when they release MetaKnight and his moves on the site...

Did some of you look at the trailer?

It doesn't deflect the arrow back at Pit - it sort of just disintegrates.

To me it's too early to speculate about what it does... We didn't see enough of it.

 

[soaz]

just watched the trailer the arrow doesnt get sent back it just hits the ground behind meta knight.

 

[SWORDMASTER66]

I can't say until I see it in actual gameplay and not in wierd angles.

But if he does, I don't think it will be that powerful, it isn't going to come out in 1 frame, and I see it not having spike properties as the shine (it will probably make charaters go upwards).

 

[Solid_Sneak]

Doesn't hit the ground behind him either dude. It really just disappears.

 

[bloodvayne]

You realize that part of the trailer was cinematic, right?

None the less, it definitely looks like it just goes thru and hits the ground behind him, so if it is in the game, I say it's just a spot dodge.

 

[burrito]

For all we know it could be Meta-Knight's regular shield.

 

[weasleman333]

lies I say, lies

 

[weasleman333]

not the regular sheild

 

[Eaode]

Of course, because you're on the dev team, right?

 

[MetalMetaKnight]

The Arrow Dissapears when it hits Meta. Its like a Sheild, not a Shine. Metas more of a Speed Hit and Run kinda guy.

 

[Mic_128]

It's a cinimatic, so it's not real. Just like how Wario doesn't use his bike as an attack.

REgardless, post in the metaknight topic.
