Hi, I'm Ken (better known in the Smash community as ''MetaKing'' or ''#20MK | MetaKing''), and I'm a contributor to this wiki, and a dedicated Meta Knight main (as well as a Lucina secondary).  
Hi, I'm Ken (better known in the Smash community as ''MetaKing'' or ''#20MK | MetaKing''), and I'm a contributor to this wiki, and a dedicated Meta Knight main (with Lucina being a close second).  




I started playing Smash when I was around 8 years old, where at the time I only had my Wii and a few games to play with. Until one day at a yard sale I saw a copy of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', two Wavebird Controllers (I eventually got Wired Controllers), and a Memory Card. Ever since that day I knew that the series would be with me for a very long time.

As stated above, I'm a very dedicated [[Meta Knight]] player because of my childhood experiences with The ''Kirby Series'', and will probably continue to play him no matter what Buff, Nerf, controversy, Tier list, or player opinion. Some of my friends who've played against Vancouver's top players like {{Sm|Big D}} and {{Sm|Firefly}}, and are of even skill of me, even consider me the best ''Smash 4'' {{SSB4|Meta Knight}} player in Vancouver, mainly for ''dumb'' reasons like me being the highest placing Meta Knight at every tournament I go to, winning all three Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri tournaments without losing a single game (three-year champion, so far), and other top players at tournaments considering me as the most likely candidate for that title.

==What is 20MK?==
20MK is a (very) small, unofficial group created by MetaKing, a player generally considered to be the best SSB4 Meta Knight player in Vancouver, British Columbia, in terms of both results and publicity. The original main goal of 20MK was to find and combine forces of Meta Knight players in BC to improve and innovate the character's [[metagame]], in a similar vein to 20GX, but the team has since turned into (''an excuse'' lol :P) for a general team, due to Meta Knight's lack of representation in the BC area... Okay, its really just an excuse for a crew at this point, but most crews started like that, so, who knows.
 
The term ''20MK'' comes from the infamous joke made by {{Sm|Hax}} known as [[20XX]], where it is said that "The year is 20XX. Everyone plays {{SSBM|Fox}}." The term has since been parodied to other Smash characters, such as ''20GX'' for Captain Falcon, or ''20DDD'' for King Dedede. For Meta Knight, the term abbreviates to ''20MK''.

==Random facts from me==
 
*My favorite characters are (as if it weren't obvious enough) [[Meta Knight]] and [[Lucina]]. The fact that they're both my favorite color (blue), and wield swords is literally perfect for someone like me, as well as me loving them in their origin games/series. The fact that they both have masks though is purely coincidental XD.
==General (random) things about me==
*It just so happens that my name is ''Ken'' and I play ''Red Marth''{{Head|Marth|g=SSBB|s=20px|cl=Red|}}{{Head|Marth|g=SSB4|s=20px|cl=Red|}} (main in ''Melee'' {{Head|Marth|g=SSBM|s=20px|cl=Red|}})... [[Smasher:Ken|Sounds]] [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCkK0hY965syJlRplzn3ayA familar] right? lol
*I once experienced a glitch in ''Project M 3.02'' with AuraSoul in Boss Battles Mode, where AuraSoul's Mewtwo started out immensely tiny for some reason and stayed like that until he died. Unfortunately this only happened once and I was unable to record any video proof (wish I did).
**Besides this, I typically use default and/or blue Alts for characters I play (Falco and Donkey Kong are notable exceptions to this though, as I use the black Falco color {{Head|Falco|g=SSB4|s=20px|cl=Black|}} and the Gold Donkey Kong color {{Head|Donkey Kong|g=SSB4|s=20px|cl=Yellow|}}, which my friends jokingly refer to as ''The Crow'' and ''Super Saiyan Kong'').
*I have been to Nintendo of Canada's building (because it is located in my hometown), as well as walking past Nintendo of JAPAN's building during my trip to Japan.
*My favorite smasher overall is {{Sm|Nairo}}.
*I have been in the building of ''Namco Bandai Studios'' in Vancouver's building, and am friends with the (former) Executive Vice President, ''Atsuo (Anthony) Nakayama''.
*I once experienced a glitch in ''Project M 3.02'' with my friend, ''AuraSoul'' in Boss Battles Mode, where his Mewtwo started out immensely tiny for some reason and stayed like that until he died on the final round. Unfortunately this only happened once and I was unable to record any video proof (wish I did, as I'm curious to know if something like this has happened to anyone else).
*I Got ''Kirby Triple Deluxe'' one day before it officially came out in North America, and NO it is not a Japanese copy (Strangely I found it in a ''Real Canadian SuperStore'' of all places?)

====stories/random facts====
*At Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri 2014, I [[Ken Combo]]'d someone in friendlies, WITH Roy!!!
*At Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2016, in losers semis for doubles, I went off-stage as Marth with a down air, and spiked both of my opponents AT THE SAME TIME! (Not the real footage, but looked a little like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4EsPV_YDBI&t=0m47s this].)
*I didn't enter Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2017's ''Melee'' tournament due to me moving fully to ''Smash 4'', yet I ended up doing surprisingly well against others in friendlies, despite not having played ''Melee'' for '''9 months'''... So I should've entered anyway?...

====stories====
*'''TRUE STORY''' The Nihon fest tournament was a F**KING MESS!!! I had 16 players on a list chosen to fight each other AT RANDOM (Not a standard bracket) ON ONE TV and they DID NOT have a GameCube Controller Adapter (THANK GOD I brought mine, and to add to that, other GameCube controller users had to borrow mine, Jason ({{Sm|FoCus}}) and {{Sm|Krizeros}}' controllers, as they only provided Wii U Pro Controllers). After me and Jason complained the TO (who BTW is a total ''Sakurai-esque'' troll who doesn't know how to run a proper tournament and isn't even the REAL TO and only a sub) to make a bracket format instead, he ORIGINALLY did not plan for there to be a losers bracket (until I suggested it). Top 8 was played the second day even though we had plenty of time the first day, and when Top 8 FINALLY happened, only 4 of the 8 players showed up (Me, Jason, Krizeros, and some other guy we don't know). The worst part was the Top 8 "''Bracket''"; the TO made it ROUND-ROBIN rules instead of the proper bracket, and ignored the fact that winners play winners, and losers play losers. Me and Jason spent almost 12 min arguing with him until he finally decided to do it the proper way. After the tournament, Me, Jason, and Krizeros immediately drove off to VSB to make-up for a disappointing tournament.
*Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri 2016 (whom I was the one that started it and was the TO of... Meaning it was kinda unofficial...) only had '''''6 entrants... (4 teams in doubles)''''' Yeah... I know... BUT, it makes it my first ever Smash 4 tournament that I've won solely using Lucina, and to '''''NOT USE META KNIGHT AT ALL!!!''''' ''Now That's a BIG Surprise coming from Me!'' Also, ''no game losses... Again''...

Hi, I'm Ken (better known in the Smash community as MetaKing or #20MK | MetaKing), and I'm a contributor to this wiki, and a dedicated Meta Knight main (with Lucina being a close second).


I started playing Smash when I was around 8 years old, where at the time I only had my Wii and a few games to play with. Until one day at a yard sale I saw a copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee, two Wavebird Controllers (I eventually got Wired Controllers), and a Memory Card. Ever since that day I knew that the series would be with me for a very long time.

As stated above, I'm a very dedicated Meta Knight player because of my childhood experiences with The Kirby Series, and will probably continue to play him no matter what Buff, Nerf, controversy, Tier list, or player opinion. Some of my friends who've played against Vancouver's top players like Big D and Firefly, and are of even skill of me, even consider me the best Smash 4 Meta Knight player in Vancouver, mainly for (in my opinion) rather dumb reasons like me being the highest placing Meta Knight at every tournament I go to, winning all three Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri tournaments without losing a single game (three-year champion, so far), and other top players at tournaments considering me as the most likely candidate for that title, though I mostly deny this fact due to my inconsistent active/inactive status.

Like me? Wanna be a friend? (For some reason) Use this:

Random facts from me

  • My favorite characters are (as if it weren't obvious enough) Meta Knight and Lucina. The fact that they're both my favorite color (blue), and wield swords is literally perfect for someone like me, as well as me loving them in their origin games/series. The fact that they both have masks though is purely coincidental XD.
  • It just so happens that my name is Ken and I play Red MarthMarthHeadRedSSBB.pngMarthHeadRedSSB4-U.png (main in Melee MarthHeadRedSSBM.png)... Sounds familar right? lol
    • Besides this, I typically use default and/or blue Alts for characters I play (Falco and Donkey Kong are notable exceptions to this though, as I use the black Falco color FalcoHeadBlackSSB4-U.png and the Gold Donkey Kong color DonkeyKongHeadYellowSSB4-U.png, which my friends jokingly refer to as The Crow and Super Saiyan Kong).
  • My favorite smasher overall is Nairo.
  • I once experienced a glitch in Project M 3.02 with my friend, AuraSoul in Boss Battles Mode, where his Mewtwo started out immensely tiny for some reason and stayed like that until he died on the final round. Unfortunately this only happened once and I was unable to record any video proof (wish I did, as I'm curious to know if something like this has happened to anyone else).
  • I Got Kirby Triple Deluxe one day before it officially came out in North America, and NO it is not a Japanese copy (Strangely I found it in a Real Canadian SuperStore of all places?)
  • I met the voice of Mario, Charles Martinet at a Retro Gaming Expo in New Westminster.

Random Smash 4 opinions...(*may be outdated and/or informal and/or incomplete reasonings)

Category Character
Favorite Character(s) Meta Knight's stock icon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Lucina's stock icon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. ← "Noticing a trend of blue swordsman with masks? Yeah, so did I!" ;D
Most Underrated Character(s) This is a difficult one for me to truly decide to be honest. Tho a few characters I feel are underrated (to varying degrees) in my opinion are:

Kirby's stock icon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.Palutena's stock icon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.Lucina's stock icon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.RoyHeadSSB4-U.png

Most Overrated Character Another difficult one (Originally RoyHeadSSB4-U.png, but after him getting a few decent results in tournaments thanks to Hyper, as well as my own area in players like Shoghi, Snow and RedX, I've now completely changed my opinion of him, so I'm leaving this unknown for now).
Stupidest character to fight against *(If you main any of these characters, sorry, but I just don't like fighting your character)*. *CloudHeadSSB4-U.pngMario's stock icon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.Captain Falcon's stock icon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. ← The easiest characters to play that are in the higher tiers. Its not necessarily that I'm bad in the matchup(s), it just gets annoying when half of my bracket consists of Clouds, Marios, and Falcons (all three having become so common in the BC scene that it has literally became a meme within the BC Smash community (especially Falcon)).
  • R.O.B.'s stock icon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. ← His high usage of Gyros and auto-cancel N-airs is pretty annoying, and his up air is really weird to DI properly. His overall presence is also annoying; I don't necessarily hate the character or the fact that he's in this game, I just don't like the thought of "getting beat up by an average at best gaming-peripheral from the 80s :P".
  • BayonettaHeadSSB4-U.png ← Its Bayonetta, what else can I say that hasn't already been said?..
  • Sonic's stock icon in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. ←Probably my most hated character to fight (and watch) overall. Literally just runs away and does the same 2 moves (that's exaggerating FYI) over and over again gets repetitive to play against and watch. Also, the noise for Spin Dash gets REALLY fuggin annoying after like the twelfth time (which happens rather quickly considering how much that move is used in Sonic's neutral game).

Amiibos I have

  • Italics are names
  • On the subject of figures, I also have the Kirby, Marth, and (the fantastic 10/10) Meta Knight Nendoroids, as well as the amazing Lucina Figma.

About my mains

  • How high the character is indicates how much I generally like and/or play them.
Super Smash Bros. (Inactive; may be outdated and/or informal reasonings)
IntenseDifficulty.pngMains I've never had an interest in playing any other character besides Falcon as a primary main, and he is the easiest character to play as in my opinion (besides recovery). I really don't see Smash 64 as something I'll play truly competitively due to its higher learning curve compared to the other games, so I really only play it in friendlies, but Falcon is always the character I turn to. Before I unlocked Falcon as a kid, Kirby and Fox were my mains, and decided to keep Kirby as primary secondaries after I decided to main Falcon, though Kirby ended up being a dual-main with Falcon, even if I'm inactive with Smash 64 at this point XD.
VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries I generally liked playing as Luigi as a kid, and even though some consider him the worst character (which, now that I think of it, he is), I would always play Luigi if Im having a good time.
Super Smash Bros. Melee (Inactive; may be outdated and/or informal reasonings)
IntenseDifficulty.pngMains Before I got Melee for myself, I played the game at a friend's house, and believe it or not, Marth was the first Smash Bros. character I ever played! After I got Melee, I immediately unlocked Marth first. After I started to learn the game competitively, and learned about all the advanced techniques and tier lists, I knew I made a good choice of choosing Marth.

I don't recall how I got to main Falco, but he seems to fit my playstyle well, and I felt like I can learn the advanced fundamentals like Mulitishining from him, so here he is.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Inactive; may be outdated and/or informal reasonings)
IntenseDifficulty.pngMains I feel like if I'm ever playing someone new I always have to explain why I main him: Quote- "I main Meta Knight not because he's the best character (I didn't even know he was for a while) I main him because of my childhood with the Kirby series, and because he is my favourite video game character!" (I cannot tell you how many times I've had to say that!) Anyway, Meta Knight in Brawl was really fun for me because he could do anything I wanted for a character, and as a result, fit my playstyle perfectly. It was like I was meant to play him.
VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries Similar reasons to Melee; good (Brawl) fundamentals such as DACUS, Gattling Combos, and what most I know refer to as "Brawl BS", Chain grabbing and Camping :P XD.

During the short ban on Meta Knight, I needed to find a main. Then I remembered that if Meta Knight wasn't a character for me, Dedede was my go to guy. I really like his playstyle and the things he can do, like his amazing recovery and his infamous chain grab (I swear, I've made like so many players rage-quit just from that!) And BTW, landing that rare forward smash, is ooooo soooo satisfying! At first, I hated some of the changes the did to Marth from Melee, such as the reduced range and nerfed Down air, but after a while I gotten to like this Marth too, and while he is no longer my true main, he is my go to secondary.

Super Smash Bros. 4(*Incomplete; Marth, Roy and Falco are currently missing their descriptions*)
IntenseDifficulty.pngMains I defiantly planned on maining Meta Knight again after he was announced, but during the time of October 2014-May 2015, I was honestly SCARED about his viability at the time, feared that I would really have to work myself off in tournament if he were to be considered Low Tier. But, as time went on, all of that changed for the better. After MkLeo's win against Mr. R at Smash Factor 4, I knew... "Meta Knight is (sort of) back!" Ever since then, I've gotten decent results in tournament with his and he has become the character I am most recognized with around the players, and is my favorite incarnation of Meta Knight to play as.
VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries Before the game came out, of all the newcomers, Lucina was the only one I had any real interest in maining, due to my experience with Fire Emblem Awakening and her being similar to Marth, and when Smash 3DS came out in NA, I didn't think the character was as bad as others were saying she was, and decided to keep the character despite others' opinions. Another reason was because of Marth (who overtime, I began to dislike watching and playing as in Smash 4, due to his playstyle being rather repetitive in my opinion; constant Tipper F-air spacing and tippers in general started to get boring for me to watch and play as) being my main in Melee (this was when I was still active in Melee BTW), I thought Lucina's less precise playstyle wouldn't affect how I played Marth in Melee, and it seemed to work well with me. Overtime, the character's buffs turned her from my favourite character to play as other than Meta Knight, to that and my key secondary. I'm always one to choose Lucina over Marth! XP

I always found Luigi a fun character to play (as), so I'd been planning to have him as a secondary for a long time, but like many, was reluctant because of my inability to mash perfectly (my mashing is okay, but because my right hand isn't my dominant one (yes I'm left-handed :P), its rather difficult most of the time). If my mashing was better than it is now, I would've picked him up a long time ago. Despite this, he eventually became a secondary anyway, because "who doesn't love getting grabs as Luigi... I hate getting grabbed by Luigi tho XD". That said, as of now, he (and the other characters below him) are still significantly less used than my top 2, (my MK in particular usually being strong enough to hold his own in tourneys).

Not someone I would necessarily pull out in tournaments seriously (not that he's bad, far from it, it's that I feel my Falcon is nowhere as strong as other Falcons in BC, which there are A LOT of), but he's hella fun to play, and you can really mess someone up if you get a good string with him going, especially on Smashville XD. While I was very reluctant at first (cuz literally almost ever player in BC has a Cloud in some way now (no joke, Doubles is a mess now XD)), I finally gave in since he's fun to play, and if I ever struggle in doubles, my teammate and I know what to do... ;) XD

*To be Added*.*To be Added*.*To be Added*.

After the buffs it got, a few of my friends actually recommended that I pick up Mewtwo as a secondary, and while it took me a while to get use to it, I finally think I've got a hang of how to play it (I got (a bit) of practice from Mewtwo dittos with AuraSoul, and now, I pretty much never lose the ditto against him XD).I literally have no idea for this one. I guess I just randomly started playing DK a lot vs. my friends so it kinda just happened lol.

Kirby is a character who I always enjoyed watching and who I would always root for in tournament (if he wasn't against MK or Lucy that is :l), and I loved his combo game and fundamentals, and Kirby as a character himself. So, one day, out of sheer boredom, I randomly decided to pick up the character, and instantly felt like I mastered the character. His easy combo game and simple strategy really fit my playstyle.Similar reasons to DK TBH.

Originally, despite the character's nerfs (which I didn't notice for a while) I still loved playing as Dedede, and his reputation in Vancouver is also strong because of Big D, and I use to see him as the most underrated character in the game, but, after gaining more experience, and from what Big D sees in him, I've excepted overtime that Dedede is one of the worst characters in the game, and, unless you're Dawson. you won't accomplish anything notable with him. I still like playing him sometimes, but I play him far less than I use to, as I would rather concentrate on the characters I enjoy playing more and that will actually benefit me (Meta Knight and Lucina), and I also no longer think of Dedede from a favorable perspective. (Sorry Dawson! :P)

Project M (Inactive; may be outdated and/or informal reasonings)
IntenseDifficulty.pngMains While I mained the character before this, during the Summer of 2014, I went to Anime Revolution, an event Vancouver has annually, and played a TON of Project M friendlies, of course, as Meta Knight. I was considered the best Meta Knight at that event, and really got me confident on my potential in tournaments.

Same as Melee.

VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries Under the influence of Big D (who I met at Anime Revolution 2014... And got bodied by...) I decided to Keep Dedede around as a strong secondary. BY FAR the best version of Roy ever. Project M did a FANTASTIC job with buffs that actually matter.

Same as Melee.
