Seen in this screenshot and in a few videos posted outside the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!|Dojo]], Meta Knight jumps into the air with his sword pointed upwards, goes into a loop and glides forward with his blade extended. The Shuttle Loop does around 9% of damage, and has good knockback, making it one of Meta Knight's few finishing moves. | ||

In addition, because Meta Knight can do a quick attack to conclude a glide, the 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. | ||
One should be careful when using Shuttle Loop while facing off of the edge, for unless they quickly cancel the [[glide]], the player could easily glide right off the stage with no chance of recovery. Also, landing while in the glide puts Meta Knight on the floor, and the opponent can easily punish him. Using the Glide Attack or just pressing the Special move button right before hitting the floor completely cancels the attack and landing lag, leaving him completely ready to use any move or evade an incoming attack that would have otherwise hit him. | One should be careful when using Shuttle Loop while facing off of the edge, for unless they quickly cancel the [[glide]], the player could easily glide right off the stage with no chance of recovery.
