Drill Rush

Drill Rush (formerly named the "Triple Dash") is the name of Meta Knight's Forward B attack. Seen in this screen shot and several times in videos posted outside the Dojo, Meta Knight appears to leap sideways with his blade outstretched. If he hits an enemy, he performs a combination lasting up to a good 2 seconds, knocking your opponent upward. Also, when finished, he pulls back a bit. It appears Meta Knight can also change the course of the attack, he is shown using the same attack upward, allowing it to be used as a recovery. After using the attack, Meta Knight becomes helpless. It may be derived from Kirby's Running-B move when he has the Master Ability (which he has when he uses Meta Knight's sword) ability in Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. It appears to be possible to cancel the ending lag of the attack by making the end hit the edge, allowing it to be virtually lag free, and allowing it to be used to rush opponents in such stages as Battlefield. This is known as Drill Rush Canceling.

This is also often used as an Air Recovery move.

Trivia

This attack can be deflected/turned around by Pit's shield and possibly other things.
