Meta Knight (SSBU): Difference between revisions
→Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
(I honestly think MK’s ground game is quite strong, with a mix of quick mobility, quick frame data, and several of his ground moves being his combo starters allows him to pressure opponents more effectively on the ground than he could in the air) Tag: Mobile edit |

Although ''SSB4'' nerfed him significantly at launch, Meta Knight managed to secure a spot as a high tier character (16th out of 54 characters), thanks to the combination of his excellent mobility and recovery, great edge-guarding potential, numerous buffs from game updates and, most notoriously, his deadly punish game that allowed him to perform zero-to-death combos with his up aerial and [[Shuttle Loop]]. Possibly as a result of these strengths, Meta Knight has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate'', though despite his comparatively numerous buffs, he has been objectively nerfed overall. | ||
Meta Knight benefits from some of the gameplay changes to the engine. His already quick mobility has improved even further, and his aerials have considerably decreased [[landing lag]], even compared to most other characters' aerials, improving his [[neutral game]] and [[combo]] game. The changes to [[air dodge]] mechanics highly benefit Meta Knight, as they further strengthen his already scary offstage game, and he isn't as affected by these changes thanks to his excellent recovery; moreover, he can now extend his own or escape combos in a pinch with a directional air dodge. | Meta Knight benefits from some of the gameplay changes to the engine.
