When the move is used, Meta Knight becomes invisible, teleports a short distance in any held direction (or remains stationary if no directional input is made), and then quickly reappears. If either attack button is held as Meta Knight reappears, he will suddenly strike with an outwards slash. After using the move, whether the attack is performed or not, he falls [[helpless]]. While invisible, he is [[intangible]] for a short time. | When the move is used, Meta Knight becomes invisible, teleports a short distance in any held direction (or remains stationary if no directional input is made), and then quickly reappears.

The move was heavily [[buff]]ed in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', granting Meta Knight more [[frame]]s of intangibility and dealing slightly more [[damage]] and significantly more [[knockback]]; though it still has noticeable startup, it can be used as a surprise [[KO]] option. The move also has a new slashing animation after teleporting backward, wherein he slashes upwards without changing his direction. However, the aforementioned ledge techniques are no longer of any great use, due to ''Smash 4'''s new ledge mechanics. | The move was heavily [[buff]]ed in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', granting Meta Knight more [[frame]]s of intangibility and dealing slightly more [[damage]] and significantly more [[knockback]]; though it still has noticeable startup, it can be used as a surprise [[KO]] option.

Usually, after he is defeated in the games, his mask falls off and afterwards, he wraps himself in his cape and jumps, disappearing. Meta Knight's use of this technique to perform a sneak attack is plausible, albeit seemingly out-of-character for a swordsman who prides himself on honorable fighting. However, he is never shown to be actually capable of invisibility or teleporting outside of jumping away, and mostly fights without using his cape itself. | ||

He also uses a similar technique in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' to destroy the platform he is standing on and make a dramatic entrance. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*The move was first shown in ''Brawl'''s E3 2006 reveal trailer, when Meta Knight avoided and seemingly deflected {{SSBB|Pit}}'s [[Palutena Arrow]] using it. When describing down special moves, the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] states that "Many of these do unusual things, like reflect enemy attacks," which caused players to speculate that the move may be a [[reflect]]or. | |||
*The area around Meta Knight becomes blurry just as he is about to vanish. This also affects [[item]]s close to him. | |||
**In ''Brawl'', if the player pauses, zooms in on the blurring effect, and twists the camera, the game slows down due to the high amount of particle effects associated with the move. | |||
*This is Meta Knight's only special move that causes him to fall helpless with his cape instead of his wings. | |||
