Overview/Strategies

Meta-Knight is a close range attacker with excellent flight characteristics.

Most of his attacks work only at close range. When playing Meta-Knight you should try to keep as close to your opponents as possible and hit them as hard as you can before they get away from you.

Meta-Knight has no ranged attacks, and is vulnerable to characters who can attack at a distance. His Drill Rush side special attack is a great counter to ranged attackers. Not only does this move do damage, it also gets him in close where his attacks are most effective.

With his bat wings, Meta-Knight can stay in the air longer than most other characters. He can flap his wings up to seven times, and he can glide for short periods between some of those flaps. He lacks a true recovery move, so his flight ability is his primary recovery method.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Very fast attacks
Grab has good range
Excellent recovery move
Very little lag
Small, so certain characters may have trouble hitting him
Any Special Move can be used as a recovery move

Cons

Fairly light, so attacks make him fly farther
No projectile attacks
Short attack range
Weak attacks
Slow falling speed, so he's easily comboed by opponents
Mach Tornado move bounces him off edges instead of grabbing them

Special Notes

Meta Knight is available from the start of the game.

Move List

NOTE: All moves are written as if character is facing right; swap Left/Right directions if facing left. The name of the move is followed by the average maximum percentage of damage that move can inflict per strike. This percentage can change with varying proximity to an opponent, and lowers with each consecutive use of the same move.

A Attacks

Standard A Attack (2%): A (By holding down A, Meta Knight will keep repeating this attack very quickly. This both attacks and knocks back any character who tries to use a melee attack against him. He cannot move while using this attack.)
Running A Attack (8%): A (While Running)
Up A Attack (6%): Up + A

Mach Tornado

Right/Left A Attack (4%): Right/Left + A

Mach Tornado (1-2% Per Hit): B
Drill Rush (1-2% Per Hit): Right/Left + B
