*{{buff|[[Mach Tornado]]’s last hit has increased base knockback (35 → 55), improving its KO potential at the upper blast line.}} | |||
*{{buff|[[Mach Tornado]] | *{{nerf|Mach Tornado has a shorter duration (frames 12-59 → 12-48), increased ending (frame 29 → 53) and landing lag, smaller hitboxes, and less favorable hitbox placements. Altogether, these changes hinder its safety and make it more susceptible to punishment. It also covers less distance and can no longer [[Edge sweet spot|edge sweetspot]], hindering its recovery potential.}} | ||

*{{buff|[[Dimensional Cape]] has increased damage potential (14% → 14%/15%/16%) and knockback (20 (base)/85 (scaling) → 40/98), granting it KO potential. Additionally, it has increased invincibility frames (frames 18-26 → 12-39 (non-attack)/frames 12-28 (attack)), improving its safety. Lastly, its attacking warp upon reappearing positions Meta Knight at a higher height, and has larger hitboxes below and behind him.}} | *{{buff|[[Dimensional Cape]] has increased damage potential (14% → 14%/15%/16%) and knockback (20 (base)/85 (scaling) → 40/98), granting it KO potential.

*{{change|Dimensional Cape's animation has slightly changed. Its non-attacking warp now has Meta Knight face the opposite direction upon reappearing, whereas warping downward from a stationary position on the ground also no longer has him attack behind himself. Conversely, its attacking warp now has Meta Knight perform an upward slash upon reappearing when warping backward (which does not change his direction), whereas his prior slash animation now only applies to a stationary or vertical orientation. Meta Knight also holds Galaxia differently during the attacking warp upon reappearing when warping forward.}} | *{{change|Dimensional Cape's animation has slightly changed.
