Meta Knight (SSBB)/Up tilt

Overview

Meta Knight’s up tilt hitbox.

Meta Knight stabs upward. The move has a sweetspot at the tip of the sword (similarly to Marth's tipper sweetspots). When sweetspotted, the move has high vertical knockback, and can reliably KO under 150%, although its KO power is reduced by a sizable amount if the move is not sweetspotted. The move is usually used to punish and cover options from opponents above Meta Knight, especially those on soft platforms above Meta Knight on stages such as Battlefield and Halberd.
