As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', {{s|mariowiki|Eric Newsome}} and {{s|wikipedia|Atsushi Kisaichi}}'s portrayals of Meta Knight from ''Brawl'' were repurposed for the English and Japanese versions of ''Ultimate'', respectively. | As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', {{s|mariowiki|Eric Newsome}} and {{s|wikipedia|Atsushi Kisaichi}}'s portrayals of Meta Knight from ''Brawl'' were repurposed for the English and Japanese versions of ''Ultimate'', respectively. | ||
Meta Knight is ranked 50th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him in the B- tier. This is a significant drop from his 16th out of 54 placement in ''SSB4'' and is his worst placement in the series. | Meta Knight is ranked 50th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him in the B- tier. This is a significant drop from his 16th out of 54 placement in ''SSB4'' and is his worst placement in the series. Meta Knight's strength centers around his amazing ground and air mobility, granting him a strong neutral game, advantage and disadvantage state, as well as an amazing combo game and edgeguarding. He retains excellent frame data, which further helps his combo game. He also boasts a long, safe recovery with multiple double jumps, with most of his special moves reliably bringing him back to the stage and punishing opponents who attempt to edgeguard him. | ||
However, Meta Knight's main weakness is his poor endurance. He is a lightweight character, and combined with his fast falling speed, despite helping him with his combo game and reversing disadvantage, it still makes him susceptible to combos and early KOs. He also possesses a relatively small shield, which leaves him vulnerable to shield stabbing. While he can work his way through projectiles and zoners with his relatively small size, quick ground speed and Mach Tornado, his approach options are fairly predictable, so they often carry the risk of losing neutral. Finally, although Meta Knight can work around it easily, his combos are very susceptible to SDI, forcing him to mix up his combos and kill confirms. | |||
Meta Knight's drastic decline in the tier list is based more on the below-average representation he has had throughout Smash Ultimate rather than the character not being very capable of viability. Despite that, Meta Knight still retains a fairly noticeable playerbase, with players such as [[Abadango]], [[BONK!]], and [[Metara]] achieving commendable results with the character. | |||
