Meta Knight slashes in front of him and then quickly slashes behind him, with the back [[slash]] being stronger than the front. This is considered {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}'s best [[KO]] move, having a combination of extremely fast [[start-up lag]], great [[transcendent]] [[reach]], and the back [[slash]] being his second strongest move from neutral. It is also considered the best [[down smash]] in ''[[Brawl]]'' on par with {{mvsub|Wolf|SSBB|Down smash|alt=Wolf's}}, as not only is it one of the strongest [[down smash]]es, but it is also among the fastest [[start-up lag]] wise, tied with {{SSBB|Wolf}}'s for fastest in overall duration, and has among the best reach. The move is also difficult to [[punish]] if used and [[space]]d correctly, due to rather low [[ending lag]] and outreaching the majority of attacks in ''[[Brawl]]''. | |||
Both slashes have high base [[knockback]], and can [[KO]] especially well near [[blast line]]s. Their [[knockback]] scaling isn't as high, though the back [[slash]] has enough to still [[KO]] heavier characters reliably even with [[DI]] and [[momentum cancel]]ling factored. The front [[slash]] however can have difficulty KOing under 150% under the aforementioned conditions (though due to its start-up, it can often catch opponents offguard and keep them from [[DI]]'ing properly). Due to the back slash still coming out reasonably fast, {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} players will often turn around before using [[down smash]] to land the stronger back [[slash]] (the back [[slash]] is also less [[punish]]able, due to greater [[shield stun]] and the move being nearer to the end of its duration). While usually conserved by competent Meta Knights to keep the move [[fresh]], its effective capability as a "get off me" move sees it used as a stronger alternative to [[Shuttle Loop]] and [[Mach Tornado]] when the Meta Knight is being [[pressure]]d. | |||
Overall it's an excellent and not difficult to use move that is heavily used in all levels of play, and that is commonly seen as straddling the [[broken]] threshold. | |||
