'''Meta Knight''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. He was first confirmed as returning ''Brawl'' veteran for the mod in his own [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoEeRtANciE surprise reveal trailer] on July 16th, 2013, a day before the release of ''Project M: Demo 2.6''. | '''Meta Knight''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''.

Meta Knight is currently ranked 1st out of 41 on the current [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], placing him in the S tier. This is the same as his placement in ''Brawl'', where he was notably ranked 1st out of 38, albeit not in a dominating fashion like his ''Brawl'' counterpart | Meta Knight is currently ranked 1st out of 41 on the current [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], placing him in the S tier.

One of Meta Knight most positive strengths is his overall frame data; most of his moves have little start-up and ending lag, notably his [[down tilt]]. Though his overall reach is average, his sword Galaxia, gives him a useful disjointed range, especially in relation to his size, as he is the only small character who wields a sword. These factors make him difficult to punish, and in turn allow him to pressure his opponents. | One of Meta Knight most positive strengths is his overall frame data; most of his moves have little start-up and ending lag, notably his [[down tilt]].

His speed also gives him a versatile moveset and combo game. His down tilt can either be used to start combos up close, or be used for [[spacing]] or [[edge-guarding]] from a distance, thanks to its long reach. His [[neutral aerial]] has fast start-up, decent reach, high power, and a long duration, allowing it to be used as an [[out of shield]] option, an effective edge-guarding move, or a decent combo move. His [[forward aerial]] can be used as effective [[wall of pain]] move, especially on characters with poor horizontal recoveries such as {{PM|Roy}}. His [[up aerial]] has quick start-up, and low knockback, giving it very potent combo potential, notably on stages with low ceilings, where it can [[Rufio|combo into itself multiple times, and finish with]] [[Mach Tornado]], [[Shuttle Loop]], or even [[Dimensional Cape]] for early KOs. His grab game is also notably effective, despite his average grab range. His [[forward throw]] is very quick, making it difficult for the opponent to react to. His [[back throw]] is good for setting up edgeguards and sending opponents off-stage, and can KO lighter characters at very high percentages. His [[down throw]] can follow-up into a variety of moves at low percents, has [[tech-chasing]] capabilities, and can even [[chain grab]] certain characters at low percentages. Meta Knight also has good KOing options for his weight class. His [[forward smash]] has high knockback for a character his size, and has low ending lag, making it relatively difficult to punish despite is slow start-up. His [[down smash]] has notably low start-up, allowing it to be used as a quick escape option, and a combo finisher. Finally, his [[back aerial]] and [[down aerial]] have very high knockback and reach for their speed; down aerial also [[semi-spike]]s opponents, making it almost guaranteed to [[gimp]] characters with poor recoveries, even at low percents. | His speed also gives him a versatile moveset and combo game.

Finally, Meta Knight's recovery is often considered to be among the best in the game, due to the amount of recovery options he has relative to the cast, as his midair jumps and special moves allow him to cover long distances off-stage. Mach Tornado can be used from nearly any point off-stage, and has good protection due to the hitboxes surrounding Meta Knight. [[Drill Rush]] is his quickest recovery move horizontally, and punish edge-guarders who wait near the edge anticipating Meta Knight's return. Shuttle Loop covers the longest horizontal distance due to it transitioning into a Glide, and is also useful for vertical recovery, as if Meta Knight reverses the move at a certain point, he will instantly land back on the stage. Finally, Dimensional Cape is the most unpredictable of his recovery moves, as Meta Knight is invisible during the move, it can punish opponents with the attack proportion of the move, which has very high knockback, and can even be executed earlier by flicking the [[C-Stick]]. | Finally, Meta Knight's recovery is often considered to be among the best in the game, due to the amount of recovery options he has relative to the cast, as his midair jumps and special moves allow him to cover long distances off-stage.

In the transition from overwhelming dominance in ''Brawl'', Meta Knight has received both [[buff]]s and [[nerf]]s, but was moderately nerfed overall. He had some of his overwhelming advantages weakened in the transition from ''Brawl'', such as his recovery, up aerial, [[Mach Tornado]], and [[Shuttle Loop]]. Despite this, he has been given new tools that make him a threat to the rest of the cast. Overall, Meta Knight remains one of the most dominant characters, though not to the same extent as in ''Brawl''. | |||
