Will Meta Knight Be Top Tier?

[EarthboundMun]

Pretty much everyone who's played the demo so far has sung Meta Knight's praises. Considering that he's in nearly every gameplay video we have so far, and considering just how powerful he is based ON those videos, I'm willing to say that Meta Knight will be high tier. I don't think I'll bother going into the specifics, but if you've seen the demos and watched the Meta Knight player, it quickly becomes apparent just how powerful Meta Knight is compared to everyone else.

So, yes, short of getting hit with the nerf bat, Meta Knight will probably be high tier.

this is like saying that Roy should be high tier in melee because his forward smash is so spammable in low-level play.

I'm not making my decisions based off that demo. Stats of moves can easily be changed from now till Feb 08. I forsee him being stacked though.

Stop asking stupid questions.

Of course he'll be top tier, he has a sword with spikes coming out of it.

You just said it wasn't.

doh... oh yeah, i forgot, some1 can delete this thing...

I hear MEtaknight is heavier than Bowser.

Meta-Knight's strong's also suck (couldn't kill Sonic at 300%) and Smashes are average. I think, beyond maybe intercepting, he won't be easy to kill with.

Projectiles seem like they own him as well.

Well I think certain actions will be disabled after doing the air dodge. Like using the up-B might not be possible after the air dodge which would make things a bit more balanced.
Also I think Metaknight will be light and therefore be killed somewhat easily. Gliding, multiple jumps might be used mostly for his combos.

Do I think he'll be top tier material? Yea. Maybe high tier at least. But we wont really know for a while.

All we've seen so far are scrub tactics from the scrub players playing in the videos. It's it's far too early for anyone to be making a judgement call on this.

As people have already said, he's probably just newb friendly. A good beginner character, I hope he has some depth to him though, I've been considering maining him since way back when he was first announced.. oh well.
