'''Shuttle Loop''' ({{ja|シャトルループ|Shattoru Rūpu}}, ''Shuttle Loop'') is [[Meta Knight]]'s [[up special move]]. Meta Knight jumps into the air with his sword pointed upwards, goes into a loop, and in ''[[Brawl]]'', glides forward with his blade extended. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', however, he follows up with a second swipe instead, due to the removal of [[gliding]] in ''Smash 4''. | '''Shuttle Loop''' ({{ja|シャトルループ|Shattoru Rūpu}}, ''Shuttle Loop'') is [[Meta Knight]]'s [[up special move]].

It should also be noted that the end of the Shuttle Loop attack automatically initiates a [[glide]], which can be used in addition to the vertical recovery to add good horizontal recovery. In addition, because Meta Knight can do a quick attack to conclude a glide, Shuttle Loop can be timed to do two consecutive attacks - the initial upswing, and the quick swing from the glide. The glide from this attack is slower than his regular glide, and allows better control. | It should also be noted that the end of the Shuttle Loop attack automatically initiates a [[glide]], which can be used in addition to the vertical recovery to add good horizontal recovery.

Also, landing while in the glide puts Meta Knight [[Floor recovery|on the floor]], and the opponent can easily punish him. Using his [[glide attack]] or just pressing the special move button right before hitting the floor completely cancels the attack and landing lag, which leaves him in an ideal position to evade attacks or hit opponents. | ||

The move is similar to one of Wing Kirby's attacks with the same name. It was used by Kirby in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' when he received the Copy Ability. The only differences are that it didn't make Kirby glide and it lacked the sword. In addition, the Wing ability's attack required the player to toss an enemy first. This makes it more similar to its ''SSB4'' incarnation than its ''Brawl'' incarnation. | The move is similar to one of Wing Kirby's attacks with the same name.

It functions differently from Wing Kirby's version and identically to its ''Brawl'' incarnation, sending him into a controllable glide. The move is also similar to one of his attacks as a boss, where he jumps backwards and quickly dives forward with his sword. | ||
