Hitbox visualization showing Meta Knight's up tilt.

This article or section may require additional technical data. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Overview

Meta Knight stabs upwards while spinning. His body has an active hitbox on the first frame, which can hit grounded opponents, and has excellent vertical reach. The move has a sweetspot at the tip that does more damage and knockback, though it has lost its KO potential from Brawl. Depending on positioning, the move can chain into itself and his up aerial. While the sweetspot is stronger, the sourspot has better follow-up potential.
