 ==Overview==
-Meta Knight slashes in front of him three times. The move has some decent knockback and always do up to 10% damage if all three of the slashes hit regardless of [[stale-move negation]]. Having to be one of the best forward aerials in the game, it is one of the many useful attacks Meta Knight has that has extremely fast [[start-up]] and [[ending lag]], good for racking up damage, and has a great [[transcendent]] range to keep him safe. Meta Knight can also space and [[pressure]] an opponent with his forward aerial very well, where it can effectively try to offensively attack or trying to keep away an opponent. Due to having little lag if the move hits the ground, one can use a [[short hop]] to use it and this gives him a great opportunity to lead in to many of his other moves that he can utilize such as another forward aerial or {{mvsub|Meta Knight|SSBB|down tilt|alt=down tilt}}.
+Meta Knight slashes in front of himself three times. The move has decent [[knockback]] and always does up to 10% damage if all three of the slashes hit (regardless of [[stale-move negation]]). The move is one of Meta Knight's most useful moves in tight situations, as it has extremely fast [[startup]] and [[ending lag]], very little [[landing lag]], great [[range]], and [[transcendent priority]]. The move is commonly used as a [[SHFF]] when {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} is either [[approach]]ing or retreating from the ground, and it can be used to great effect for [[spacing]] and [[pressuring]] when combined with other moves such as {{mvsub|Meta Knight|SSBB|down aerial}}s and {{mvsub|Meta Knight|SSBB|forward tilt}}s. The move is also very useful offstage, as when used in conjunction with some of {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}'s other aerials, it can set up a variation of the [[wall of pain]] technique, depending on the opponent's [[DI]] and recovery options, though this is slightly limited by Meta Knight's very low [[air speed]].
-With his ability to jump multiple time in midair, Meta Knight can utilize his forward aerial well off stage. When he does get an opponent offstage, it only takes a a few forward aerials to get a good KO at an opponent depending on his damage percentage. Even if it doesn't KO, the attack can cause some difficult to characters who doesn't have a good horizontal recovery. His forward aerial can also perform a variation of the [[wall of pain]] along with his {{mvsub|Meta Knight|SSBB|down aerial|alt=down aerial}}. Due to his poor [[air speed]] however, it isn't as effective as {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}'s wall of pain.
-Overall, like Meta Knight's other moves, it is an universally excellent move to use in all levels of play, and has gained a repetition of being [[broken]].
+Overall, like many of Meta Knight's other moves, Meta Knight's forward aerial is a very favourable option to use in many situations, and as a result has gained a reputation of being [[broken]].
