Overview

Hitbox of Meta Knight's down tilt in Brawl.
Hitbox of Meta Knight's d-tilt.

Meta Knight thrusts his sword along the ground in front of himself, dealing 4-6% damage and extremely low knockback that hits opponents towards the ground. It has a 30% chance of tripping the opponent, and when it does so, it can easily followup into a grab, down smash, SHFFed forward aerial, or Mach Tornado. The move also has very fast startup (3 frames), and deceptive range, being even longer than Marth's down tilt, though only by a few pixels. It can also be used to pseudo-crawl, which allows it to chain into itself repeatedly until it trips the opponent, which is when one of the aforementioned followups can be utilized. It can also be used against opponents recovering near the edge to force them back offstage, especially against fastfallers, who it can also gimp and lead into a down aerial and/or Shuttle Loop stage spike. Overall, a useful move at lower percentages, though at high percentages it always knocks the opponent too far away to followup reliably.
