Mach Tornado returns as {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}'s neutral special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. Unlike in the previous games, Mach Tornado hits only once, instead of being a multi-hit attack. It also travels at a faster pace, giving it much better horizontal movement compared to previous games. It has considerably more knockback than before, being a potent kill combo finisher. | Mach Tornado returns as {{SSBU|Meta Knight}}'s neutral special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
