Meta Knight (メタナイト, Meta Knight) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was confirmed on June 12th, 2018. As in Smash 4, Eric Newsome's portrayal of Meta Knight from Brawl was repurposed for English-releases of Ultimate. Similarly, Atsushi Kisa'ichi's portrayal from Brawl was also recycled for Japanese-releases.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release. |
Aesthetics
As with all veterans returning from Smash 4, Meta Knight's model features a more subdued color scheme. His mask, armor, and sword feature more detailed textures.- Galaxia's sword trails now appear to use reversed colors, using aqua with yellow accents instead of the yellow with turquoise accents from Smash 4.
- Meta Knight's eyes close while using his up taunt. Additionally, the trails emitted by the tornado are now colored white instead of yellow.
- His Galacta Knight-inspired alternate costume more closely resembles its inspiration: his mask becomes cross-shaped, his spikes and insignia become yellow, and Galaxia turns pink like Galacta Knight's lance. Similarly, Galaxia turns silver when donning the Dark Meta Knight costume, and his mask gains a scar, much like his doppelgänger.
- Two of Meta Knight's victory animations were altered: one has him slashing twice then performing another slice with his sword held backwards; another has him flying around and dropping to the ground and striking a pose.
- Meta Knight has a new sidestep animation: he now wraps himself inside of his cape.
Attributes
Like all characters, Meta Knight's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
Ground Attacks
- Jab has less ending lag and it's animation is faster.
Dash attack has higher knockback, reducing its combo potential.- Forward tilt has a bigger hitbox.
- Up smash has a slightly different animation, with Meta Knight performing a back flip at the end of the strikes.
- Meta Knight has a new down smash, a diagonal slash.
Aerial attacks
- Down aerial, forward aerial and back aerial have larger hitboxes, making it easier to hit opponents.
- Forward aerial and neutral aerial have much less landing lag.
Throws/other attacks
- Pummel is faster.
- Down throw appears to have much higher knockback, reducing its ability to combo.
Special Moves
- Mach Tornado now has a vortex form around him.
- Mach Tornado travels at a faster pace, and now only hits opponents once.
- The hits from Mach Tornado does not connect better.
- Drill Rush deals much more knockback.
- Shuttle Loop goes higher now, and has less landing lag.
- Shuttle Loop has significantly less knockback, making it much harder to KO with, and it's second hit connects less reliably with it's first.
- Dimensional Cape travels farther, making it better for recovery.
- Meta Knight's Final Smash has been changed. He now creates a surge of energy around him and gains another set of wings; any opponent that gets caught is dragged into the air, where Meta Knight clones himself to strike repeatedly, before finishing with a slash that sends opponents at a horizontal angle. It bears a resemblance to Meta Calibur, Meta Knight's strongest attack in Kirby: Star Allies, with the cross-lightning being similar to Kirby Super Star Ultra's version of Mach Tornado and Meta Knight's Shuttle Loop when combined with electricity in Kirby Star Allies.
