Meta Knight (SSBB)/Neutral attack

Overview

When the attack button is pressed while standing still, Meta Knight will shout a battle cry, and slash with Galaxia in several directions. If the button is held, however, Meta Knight will continue to slash all around him, which can be done indefinitely. Opponents that are hit may get temporarily stuck in the barrage if they don't SDI properly. This move is mostly situational as it is little more than a punishing tool against opponents that recklessly approach Meta Knight, and some of Meta Knight's attacks with greater reach tend to be more practical for this purpose. Opponents with disjointed hitboxes such as Marth can easily hit Meta Knight during this move.

Trivia

• This is the only jab in the game that can be used indefinitely without hitting an opponent.
