This user's favorite character is a swordsman, the color blue, and wears a mask. But which one?... ;)

Hi, I'm Ken, better known in the Smash community as MetaKing, and I'm a contributor to this wiki, and a dedicated Meta Knight main with a Lucina co-main.

My first experience with Smash as a whole was when I was at a friend's place when I was 4 years old. She had a GameCube and a copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee. While I was only familiar with a few of the characters at the time (eg. Mario, Kirby, Pikachu, etc.), I was breath taken by the number of playable characters from different franchises all in one game. The first character I picked was Marth, as blue (is) my favorite color and I thought he looked "cool" and "powerful". As you can see, that has stuck to this day lol. :)

My own household experience with Smash began two years later, where at the time I only had my Wii and a few games to play with. Until one day at a yard sale I saw a copy of Melee, two Wavebird Controllers (I eventually got Wired Controllers), and a Memory Card for sale. Ever since that day, I knew that the series would be with me for a very long time.

As stated above, I'm a very dedicated Meta Knight player because of my childhood experiences with The Kirby Series, and will probably continue to play him no matter what Buff, Nerf, controversy, Tier list, or player opinion. Recently though, I've been finding it harder to solo-main MK continuously like I use to, not to mention playing him for so long is also starting to wear on me, to the point of there being days where I just don't feel like playing him at all, and end up playing other characters instead. So, while I'll definitely still be maining him, and he will likely be the character I use primarily in tournaments, I'll also be trying to dedicate my time to other characters, to see if any can relieve my "boredom", so to speak, of MK, and so far, it seems to be working out well with the likes of Lucina, Roy and Captain Falcon.

On the subject of friends, here are my other main social media accounts:

YouTube channel, where I post my own replays of random matches/moments like this ;).
Twitter (@20mk_metaking) Feel free to give me a follow; pretty quiet now, though.
Instagram (@20mk_metaking) (Shamefully lol) more active here than on twitter for the sole fact of none of my school friends in fact use Twitter XD. Mainly consists of stuff I draw, figure pictures, or perlers I make. Feel free to take a look if you're interested (for whatever reason :P).
You can also find me on Discord (20MK | MetaKing (Ken)#5224), though I'd prefer it if you tell me who you are via Direct Message before I accept any friend requests so that I know who to trust. Just DMing me about Smash and related is fine, but no personal questions or threats please.

Random facts from me

My favorite characters are (as if it weren't obvious enough) Meta Knight and Lucina. The fact that they're both my favorite color (blue), and wield swords is literally perfect for someone like me, as well as me loving them in their origin games/series. The fact that they both wear masks though is purely coincidental XD.
It just so happens that my name is Ken and I play Red Marth ... Sounds familar right? lol
- Besides this, I typically use default and/or blue Alts for characters I play (some characters are exceptions though, such as and the aforementioned Red Marth.
My favorite smasher overall is Nairo.
My favorite game is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
I am left-handed; which makes me pretty decent at movements of my control stick on average relative to most, but hinders my button-mashing when excessive mashing is required (notably with Luigi).
My most wanted characters for Ultimate are/were Bandana Waddle Dee and Alucard (respectively), with the latter being (unfortunately ;-;) given an Assist Trophy status, and the other being given the Spirit treatment.
I once experienced a glitch in Project M 3.02 with my friend, AuraSoul in Boss Battles Mode, where his Mewtwo started out immensely tiny for some reason and stayed like that until he died on the final round. Unfortunately this only happened once and I was unable to record any video proof (wish I did, as I'm curious to know if something like this has happened to anyone else).
I met the voice of Mario, Charles Martinet at a Retro Gaming Expo in New Westminster.
I Got Kirby Triple Deluxe one day before it officially came out in North America, and NO it is not a Japanese copy (Strangely I found it in a Real Canadian SuperStore of all places?)
I make perler bead sprite art often. You can see some of the stuff I've made and new things on my social media accounts if you're interested.
