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 a [[Lucina]] co-main.

My first experience with Smash as a whole was when I was at a friend's place when I was 4 years old. She had a GameCube and a copy of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. While I was only familiar with a few of the characters at the time (eg. Mario, Kirby, Pikachu, etc.), I was breath taken by the number of playable characters from different franchises all in one game. The first character I picked was [[Marth]], as blue (is) my favorite color and I thought he looked "cool" and "powerful". As you can see, that has stuck to this day lol. :)

*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 wear masks though is purely coincidental XD.

(I cannot tell you how many times I've had to say that!)

[[Image:KingDededeIcon(SSBB).png|40px|Since I became aware of MK-banned tournaments later on, I felt like I needed to find a character in case I ever showed up to one at say a con, and along with Marth and Falco, Dedede was another character I picked up for that.

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!"

[[Image:LucinaIcon(SSB4-U).png|40px|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]]

[[Image:LuigiIcon(SSB4-U).png|40px|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 pretty mediocre, mainly because my right hand isn't my dominant one (yes I'm left-handed :P), so its very difficult for me than it would be for others).

[[Image:FalcoIcon(SSB4-U).png|40px|The road for Falco has been a rocky one all the way in this game, and this reflects my opinions of him during that time. I too was shocked on how badly nerfed he became from Brawl to Smash 4, and while things like removing chain grabbing and double lasers made sense to me, nerfing the laser distance never felt right, and the down air nerf was straight up overkill; not that it was nerfed, but rather "how" it was nerfed. After his 1.0.8 buffs, I started to think of him more positively (at one point, I thought he could've been as good as the worst high tier), but by the end of Smash 4, his poor neutral and nearly as bad mobility, made my opinions and experiences with Falco a fun one, but a very bumpy one overall.]][[Image:MarthIcon(SSB4-U).png|40px|Like with Falco, my experiences with Marth have been up, down, all over the place really. I was devastated with the changes they made with him as early as E3 2014; I actually even got to experience him too in my own hands, as he was the only character I played at those Best Buy demos around the same time. Regardless of what I thought about him statistically, I still kept him as one of my characters as per every Smash game, and was pleased to see the small buffs he would recieve in patches overtime. And after the big buffs he received in 1.1.4, I'm glad to say that my experience with Marth in Smash 4 ended on a positive note.]][[Image:RoyIcon(SSB4-U).png|40px|Roy's an interesting one for me, as my opinion on him had been all over the place, perhaps more so than my other characters during Smash 4's life. When he was first released, I thought he was decent (around high tier?), but not really worth the crazy praise of "best sword fighter" others were giving him at the time. As time went on, however, and especially after Marth and Lucina's buffs, my opinions of Roy changed drastically by then, and I thought he was the most overrated character in the game, and possible one of the worst. By the end of Smash 4, however, I met some players in my region who started to do really well with the character in bracket, and Roy started to get better results as a (niche) secondary for some players as well, which changed my perception of him again, this time for the better, and while I didn't think he's anything above bottom of mid tier(?) at best, one thing's for certain: he's definitely fared better here than in Melee lol.]][[Image:MewtwoIcon(SSB4-U).png|40px|After the buffs it got, a few of my friends actually recommended that I pick up Mewtwo as a secondary, and though it took me a while to get use to it, I think I got a good grasp on how to play the character by the end of Smash 4's life.]]

From Fire Emblem Wiki. This user's favorite character is a swordsman, the color blue, and wears a mask. But which one?... ;)






Hi, I'm Ken, better known in the Smash community as MetaKing, and I'm a contributor to this wiki, and a dedicated Meta Knight main with a Lucina co-main.

My first experience with Smash as a whole was when I was at a friend's place when I was 4 years old. She had a GameCube and a copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee. While I was only familiar with a few of the characters at the time (eg. Mario, Kirby, Pikachu, etc.), I was breath taken by the number of playable characters from different franchises all in one game. The first character I picked was Marth, as blue (is) my favorite color and I thought he looked "cool" and "powerful". As you can see, that has stuck to this day lol. :)

My own household experience with Smash began two years later, 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 Melee, two Wavebird Controllers (I eventually got Wired Controllers), and a Memory Card for sale. 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. Recently though, I've been finding it harder to solo-main MK continuously like I use to, not to mention playing him for so long is also starting to wear on me, to the point of there being days where I just don't feel like playing him at all, and end up playing other characters instead. So, while I'll definitely still be maining him, and he will likely be the character I use primarily in tournaments, I'll also be trying to dedicate my time to other characters, to see if any can relieve my "boredom", so to speak, of MK, and so far, it seems to be working out well with the likes of Lucina, Roy and Captain Falcon.

On the subject of friends, here are my other main social media accounts:

  • YouTube channel, where I post my own replays of random matches/moments like this ;).
  • Twitter (@20mk_metaking) Feel free to give me a follow; pretty quiet now, though.
  • Instagram (@20mk_metaking) (Shamefully lol) more active here than on twitter for the sole fact of none of my school friends in fact use Twitter XD. Mainly consists of stuff I draw, figure pictures, or perlers I make. Feel free to take a look if you're interested (for whatever reason :P).
  • You can also find me on Discord (20MK | MetaKing (Ken)#5224), though I'd prefer it if you tell me who you are via Direct Message before I accept any friend requests so that I know who to trust. Just DMing me about Smash and related is fine, but no personal questions or threats please.

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 wear masks though is purely coincidental XD.
  • It just so happens that my name is Ken and I play Red Marth MarthHeadRedSSBM.pngMarthHeadRedSSBB.pngMarthHeadRedSSB4-U.pngMarthHeadRedSSBU.png... Sounds familar right? lol
    • Besides this, I typically use default and/or blue Alts for characters I play (some characters are exceptions though, such as FoxHeadRedSSBU.pngFalcoHeadBlackSSBU.pngMarioHeadBlackSSBU.png and the aforementioned Red Marth.
  • My favorite smasher overall is Nairo.
  • My favorite game is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
  • I am left-handed; which makes me pretty decent at movements of my control stick on average relative to most, but hinders my button-mashing when excessive mashing is required (notably with Luigi).
  • My most wanted characters for Ultimate are/were Bandana Waddle Dee and Alucard (respectively), with the latter being (unfortunately ;-;) given an Assist Trophy status, and the other being given the Spirit treatment.
  • 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 met the voice of Mario, Charles Martinet at a Retro Gaming Expo in New Westminster.
  • 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 make perler bead sprite art often. You can see some of the stuff I've made and new things on my social media accounts if you're interested.

Amiibo I have

  • Italics are names

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, as he was the character that fit me the most. 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 rarely play it in friendlies either, 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 he's definitely the worst character, I would always play Luigi if I don't care about winning lol.
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 game's fundamentals, like neutral or disadvantage state from him, so here he is.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Inactive; may be outdated and/or informal reasonings)
IntenseDifficulty.pngMains I feel like (for all versions of MK tbh) whenever I'd meet someone new and they learn I main MK, I always have to explain that I main him not because he (was) 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 he's is my favourite video game character. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to say that lol. 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... Maybe that had to do with him being a literal god in Brawl, but the other games are proof against me maining him for that I guess :P.
VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries Similar reasons to Melee; good (Brawl) fundamentals such as DACUS, Gattling Combos, and what most people I know refer to as "Brawl BS", Chain grabbing and Camping :P XD.

Since I became aware of MK-banned tournaments later on, I felt like I needed to find a character in case I ever showed up to one at say a con, and along with Marth and Falco, Dedede was another character I picked up for that. I really liked his the unique things he could do, like his decent recovery, long range, Waddle Dees, and his infamous chain grab (I swear, I've made like so many players rage-quit just from that!), and landing that rare forward smash is o' so satisfying!.. Didn't help that the best player in my region happened to be one of the best Dedede's in the world tho XD. At first, I hated some of the changes the did to Marth from Melee to Brawl, such as the reduced range and nerfed up tilt and 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 definitely planned on maining Meta Knight again after he was announced, but during the time of October 2014-May 2015, I was honestly in doubt about his viability at the time, fearing 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 gotten decent results in tournament with him, and he became the character I am most recognized with around the players.

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. Rather ironic, thinking back, since she wasn't exactly "new" in her moveset compared to other newcomers lol. Anyway, when Smash 3DS came out in NA, while she I didn't think the character was as good as I wanted her to be intially, and decided to keep the character despite others' opinions. Another reason was because of Marth being my main in Melee (this was when I was also 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 into my favourite character to play as other than MK in Smash 4. I'm always one to choose Lucina over Marth! XP

VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries Not someone I'd necessarily pull out in tournaments seriously (not that he's bad, far from it, it's that I feel my Falcon was nowhere as strong as other Falcons in BC, which there were 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.

Fox is a rather interesting case compared to the others. I only started playing him during the start of Summer 2018 (when Smash 4 was practically on its death bed), and only did it because some of my friends had been recommending him to me for a while before then. When I stared playing and learning his combos, movement, neutral, etc. I said to myself out loud "Why didn't I pick up this character in 2015?" XD. My Fox is not perfect by any means, hell no lol. But I feel like I was fairly competent with him on a "good day" so to speak.

I always found Luigi a fun character to play (as), so I planned to have him as a secondary for a long time (early 2016?), but like many, was reluctant because of my inability to mash perfectly, as my right hand isn't my dominant one. If my mashing was better than it is now, I would've picked him up as a potential (tri-)main(?). Despite this, he eventually became a secondary anyway, because "who doesn't love getting grabs as Luigi... I hated getting grabbed by Luigi tho XD".While I was very reluctant at first due to literally almost ever player in BC had a Cloud in some way (no joke, Doubles was a mess just as much as it was everywhere else XD)), I eventually gave in since he's fun to play, and weirdly fit me, and that's not because he didn't require much "effort" to play, I swear XD.

The road for Falco has been a rocky one all the way in this game, and this reflects my opinions of him during that time. I too was shocked on how badly nerfed he became from Brawl to Smash 4, and while things like removing chain grabbing and double lasers made sense to me, nerfing the laser distance never felt right, and the down air nerf was straight up overkill; not that it was nerfed, but rather "how" it was nerfed. After his 1.0.8 buffs, I started to think of him more positively (at one point, I thought he could've been as good as the worst high tier), but by the end of Smash 4, his poor neutral and nearly as bad mobility, made my opinions and experiences with Falco a fun one, but a very bumpy one overall.Like with Falco, my experiences with Marth have been up, down, all over the place really. I was devastated with the changes they made with him as early as E3 2014; I actually even got to experience him too in my own hands, as he was the only character I played at those Best Buy demos around the same time. Regardless of what I thought about him statistically, I still kept him as one of my characters as per every Smash game, and was pleased to see the small buffs he would recieve in patches overtime. And after the big buffs he received in 1.1.4, I'm glad to say that my experience with Marth in Smash 4 ended on a positive note.Roy's an interesting one for me, as my opinion on him had been all over the place, perhaps more so than my other characters during Smash 4's life. When he was first released, I thought he was decent (around high tier?), but not really worth the crazy praise of "best sword fighter" others were giving him at the time. As time went on, however, and especially after Marth and Lucina's buffs, my opinions of Roy changed drastically by then, and I thought he was the most overrated character in the game, and possible one of the worst. By the end of Smash 4, however, I met some players in my region who started to do really well with the character in bracket, and Roy started to get better results as a (niche) secondary for some players as well, which changed my perception of him again, this time for the better, and while I didn't think he's anything above bottom of mid tier(?) at best, one thing's for certain: he's definitely fared better here than in Melee lol.After the buffs it got, a few of my friends actually recommended that I pick up Mewtwo as a secondary, and though it took me a while to get use to it, I think I got a good grasp on how to play the character by the end of Smash 4's life.

Kirby is a character who I always enjoyed watching; I loved his combo game and Kirby as a character himself. So, one day, out of sheer boredom, I randomly decided to pick up the character, and found him lots of fun to use. On the downside, he's super light, and his range and approach are pretty meh worthy, but since I play MK, I'm use to that kind of stuff :P.Originally, despite the character's nerfs (which I didn't notice for a while) I still loved playing as Dedede, and his reputation in BC 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 excepted overtime that Dedede is one of the worst characters in Smash 4, and I began playing him far less than I use to as a result. Despite this, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fun to pull out the character again every now and then for some fun and hype moments, because playing right with Gordo traps were something worth saving a replay for lol.Similar reasons as Falcon TBH, except he's not fast or good lol.
