'''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 | {{cquote|''Jump and flip in midair, then glide forwards.''|cite=''Brawl'' manual description}} | ||

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. | 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.

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. | ||

In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the attack no longer cancels into a glide | In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', the attack no longer cancels into a glide; however, it gains slightly more vertical distance and hits twice extremely quickly. The move now does a total of 15% damage (12% in the air) and retains its high base knockback from ''Brawl'', still making it a viable finishing move. As a recovery, the distance it can gain is toned down due to the removal of gliding, but the move still gains good vertical distance. This version 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 | The move is similar to Wing Kirby's Shuttle Loop attack. It was used by Kirby in the SNES game ''[[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. | ||

It functions differently from Wing Kirby's version and identically to its ''Brawl'' incarnation, sending him into a controllable glide. | ||
