Will Meta Knight Be Top Tier?

[kinghippo99]

think about it... bowser forward smashes meta. meta uses all his multi jumps, then air dodges to the stage then glides the rest of the way... even after all that he still has his up b. And his attacks are insane!!!

discuss.

Discuss in the Official Metaknight Thread please

 

[Lunytunes4.4]

i have been thinking this for awhile,but the tier list is based on how chracters stack up in tourney play and how good players use them in tourneys so without online or tournaments there is no tier list

well it goes something like that IDK there is topic on how the tier list goes

 

[I_R_Hungry]

patience my young padawan

shut up and wait

 

[matthewdw94*]

meta-knight in a nut shell... a realy small nutshell, weak fast attacks. WEAK

 

[Eaode]

Gliding IS his Up-B.

nooo.....http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/technique05.html

 

[ZenJestr]

if you really think about it he has:

Multiple Jumps(Im gunna guess about 4-5)
Up B
Air Dodge
Glide
Side B
Neutral B


Meta Knight is immortal as long as a he isnt in the 300-999's

I wouldnt be surprised if he can go around New Pork twice...

Or you could just star KO him. In one of the videos on Halberd, I believe that he was killed by a Bowser buttslam at 85% or so.

 

[ZenJestr]

yea he was in the 80's...I know, dont worry, I was exaggerating...but on big stages like (hopefully) Hyrule Temple and New Pork City....its gunna take a little more than a kiss from those cheeks to send this guy packing....

 

[red stone]

probably...good recovery, sword...yeah that's basically all you need

 

[Doggalina]

And that's why you ban massive stages. Don't worry. Sakurai knows what he's doing. Balancing is a huge part of development; it won't get screwed up.

 

[Xanderous]

Doesn't have much of a ranged game from what I can see.

but then again, neither does Marth.

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Hello!

Mewtwo's going to be the broken one! He'll wipe the floor with Meta-Knight!

 

[Mersh]

Meta Knight looks to be incredibly weak. When he and Bowser are fighting in the Halberd video, his aerial slashes do a single percentage each.

 

[Eaode]

Up-B: Shuttle Loop. You can see him do that in several of the gameplay videos and gliding afterward.

IDK if he can glide normally like the page you linked. But I know he does after his Up-B.

 

[Zook]

I'm guessing no. In the games, Meta Knight was well known for his powerful attacks but easy-to-dieness. He appears pretty weak in Brawl, and I doubt he'll be very hard to smash off stage, soo....

 

[Nintendude]

Ask again in a few years. It took like 4 years for Melee tiers to get settled in and there are still disagreements all over the place. I know some IGN people said Meta-Knight was really good but why would you trust a bunch of smash scrubs who've played the game for maybe an hour at most.

 

[TheSpindoctor]

We dont know how the gliding thing will effect the other jumps. Maybe you will fall helplessly after you do a glide? We dont know, but he looks like a good character.

... I don't see it...

 

[ZenJestr]

thats how miniscule they are...

 

[Demon Kirby]

thats how miniscule they are...

I never saw his attacks do only 1% damage...

I'm pretty sure the guy tilted the analog stick.

this is what i'm talking about! he would be unstopable if he were as heavy as bowser
i'm guessing that he will be easy to star ko but think how hard it will be to kill him off the side

 

[ZenJestr]

yea its impossible to pwn him off the sides....from the top is entirely different...

 

[Xengri]

You guys barely know anything about any of the characters to be worried about one being overpowered...

If you have to make speculations of characters potential brokenness, at lest wait till the guys of E for all tell us some more.

 

[ZenJestr]

yea but people with extra time speculate WAY too much....oh and if theyre bored...hehehe.....let the sea of speculation crush the souls of those who dont give a dam...

why else am I here...hee hee

 

[Maben]

I'm worried about Kirby, what does Kirby have that Metaknight doesn't besides being able to steal a single (usually VERY situational) neutral B. Perhaps Kirby will be able to steal multiple moves in Brawl, or even combine them? Could be the reason we haven't seen Kirby's move set yet...but he was in the demo right?

 

[ZenJestr]

no he wasnt...and I doubt he could steal 2 or more....but then again...look at PT...(who Im maining btw)

 

[MyBurden]

I'm usually the first one to say don't judge a character until you actually get the game, but Meta Knight looks badass. He has good standard attack with excellent reach compared to his size, he can multi jump, glide, and his B attacks look effect and useful in battle. I can see this guy being used ALOT in competitive play.

Done.
Thread closed.

 

[kinghippo99]

Neveeeeerrrr!!!

 

[Kirby knight]

My goodness will this ever end? Though it would be quite interesting with proper testing after the release of Brawl, Metaknight was Top Tier. As of right now this type of speculation is not needed. Wait till after Brawl comes out geez...

[kinghippo99]

speculation=awsome

 

[GreatClayMonkey]

speculation=awsome

pointless speculation=not awsome

How about Kirbycide?

I'm pretty sure Metaknight would be very light weight, with his recovery as good as it is. Whether that'll matter much or not, we'll have to find out when the game is released.

You just said it wasn't.

This thread was bad to start with, not it's just worthless. Lock or move to character discussion (which is were it belongs anyway) Plz.
