'''Shuttle Loop''' ({{ja|シャトルループ|Shattoru Rūpu}}, ''Shuttle Loop'') is [[Meta Knight]]'s [[up special move]]. Meta Knight jumps into the air with his sword pointed upwards, goes into a loop, and in ''[[Brawl]]'', glides forward with his blade extended. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', however, he follows up with a second swipe instead, due to the removal of [[gliding]] in ''Smash 4''.

Line 18: Line 22:
It should also be noted that the end of the Shuttle Loop attack automatically initiates a [[glide]], which can be used in addition to the vertical recovery to add good horizontal recovery. In addition, because Meta Knight can do a quick attack to conclude a glide, Shuttle Loop can be timed to do two consecutive attacks - the initial upswing, and the quick swing from the glide. The glide from this attack is slower than his regular glide, and allows better control.

Using Shuttle Loop while facing off of the edge can be quite dangerous, for unless the player quickly cancels the glide, they could easily glide right off the stage with no chance of recovery. Also, landing while in the glide puts Meta Knight [[Floor recovery|on the floor]], and the opponent can easily punish him. Using his [[glide attack]] or just pressing the special move button right before hitting the floor completely cancels the attack and landing lag, which leaves him in an ideal position to evade attacks or hit opponents.

''Smash 4'''s version of Shuttle Loop is similar to the original Shuttle Loop that [[wikirby:Wing|Wing Kirby]] performs, in that it hits twice and only sends [[Kirby]] a short distance forward rather than a glide.

The move is similar to one of Wing Kirby's attacks with the same name. It was used by Kirby in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' when he received the Copy Ability. The only differences are that it didn't make Kirby glide and it lacked the sword. In addition, the Wing ability's attack required the player to toss an enemy first. This makes it more similar to its ''SSB4'' incarnation than its ''Brawl'' incarnation.

Meta Knight also uses this move in later {{uv|Kirby}} games, including ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Return to Dream Land}}'', ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby: Planet Robobot}}'', and ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Star Allies}}''. It functions differently from Wing Kirby's version and identically to its ''Brawl'' incarnation, sending him into a controllable glide. The move is also similar to one of his attacks as a boss, where he jumps backwards and quickly dives forward with his sword.
