Meta Knight (SSBB)/Floor attack (trip)

Hitbox visualization showing Meta Knight's trip attack.

Overview

Meta Knight slashes on either side of himself. His trip attack comes out relatively quickly and can be used to escape tight tech-chasing situations, but it is rather punishable if the opponent shields or avoids it. It is one of Meta Knight's few attacks that do not have transcendent priority.
