'''Mach Tornado''' is the name of [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight's]] [[Standard Special Move]]. The tornado also appears to be significantly larger than the [[Mario Tornado]], Dr. Tornado, and [[Luigi Cyclone]]. It appears to be based on one of Meta Knight's attacks from various Kirby games. The move's inertia carries Meta Knight left and right (depending on which direction you put) and Meta Knight rises when you push the B button. In a video posted outside of the [[Smash_Bros._DOJO!!|Dojo]], we see mostly how this attack works. It appears to last for about 3 seconds, with Meta Knight being free to move while performing the attack. If a opponent is caught in its hitbox and that Meta-Knight doesn't change direction, the foe cannot [[DI]] out of it. The tornado also prioritizes over almost all projectiles, making it an effective strategy to defend against ranged opponents while getting in closer.
'''Mach Tornado''' is the name of [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight's]] [[Standard Special Move]]. When activated, Meta Knight spins at high speed, which slightly pulls nearby opponents towards him, then slashes them multiple times, as well as traps them, making escape via [[DI|Directional Influence]] difficult. When the Tornado is finished, the last hit dealt causes rather moderate knockback, but can be very deadly if used near the top of the screen. Mach Tornado can be controlled, by pressing left or right to move that direction, and going upwards is done by pressing B rapidly, which also extends the amount of time Meta Knight spins.

If B is rapidly pushed while Meta Knight is using the Mach Tornado, he will gain altitude. In addition, the tornado will last longer.

Mach Tornado

Mach Tornado is the name of Meta Knight's Standard Special Move. When activated, Meta Knight spins at high speed, which slightly pulls nearby opponents towards him, then slashes them multiple times, as well as traps them, making escape via Directional Influence difficult. When the Tornado is finished, the last hit dealt causes rather moderate knockback, but can be very deadly if used near the top of the screen. Mach Tornado can be controlled, by pressing left or right to move that direction, and going upwards is done by pressing B rapidly, which also extends the amount of time Meta Knight spins. Movement of the Mach Tornado is fast, making it a good recovery move, although Meta Knight cannot grab the ledge while spinning. Mach Tornado also has another use, of which is being able to destroy most projectiles it hits, save for a few of the larger projectiles and the Ice Climbers' Blizzard.
