==Overview==
When the attack button is pressed while standing still, {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} will shout a battle cry, and [[slash]] with [[Galaxia]] in several directions. If the button is held, {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} will continue to slash all around him, which can be done indefinitely. Opponents that are hit may get temporarily stuck in the barrage if they don't [[SDI]] properly. This move is mostly situational as it is little more than a [[punish]]ing tool against opponents that recklessly [[approach]] Meta Knight, and some of Meta Knight's attacks with greater [[reach]] and less [[ending lag]] tend to be more practical for this purpose, most notably his {{mvsub|Meta Knight|SSBB|neutral special}}. Opponents with [[disjointed]] hitboxes such as {{SSBB|Marth}} can easily hit Meta Knight during this move. Like most of Meta Knight's moves, this move has [[transcendent priority]].
