==Overview==
Meta Knight spins with Galaxia extended. With quick start-up, long duration, low ending and landing lag, and good power, this move is effective for relieving [[pressure]], either as an [[out of shield]] option or to break [[juggling|juggles]]. It is also a decent [[combo]] move, being able it to lead into a dash attack at lower percents, and it can easily be comboed into from Meta Knight's dash attack, down throw, and up aerial. Neutral aerial is also a potent [[edge-guarding]] tool, as it can cover both immediate and delayed recoveries, and the strong hit KO's offstage at roughly 100%, while the late hit sends foes at a favorable trajectory.

Overall, this is a highly versatile move that is used commonly in competitive play.

==Trivia==
{{MvSubNavMetaKnight|SSB4=y}}
*Within the move's script, there is a timer on frame 40 which is most likely present to activate the move's late auto-cancel window. However, the flag to activate the late auto-cancel is simply missing, meaning that the move has no late auto-cancel window. As a result, the move does not auto-cancel until the animation ends on frame 50, rather than on frame 40 as the empty timer suggests. This was fixed in ''Ultimate''.
