Meta Knight (SSBB)/Glide attack

Hitbox visualization showing Meta Knight's glide attack.

Overview

Meta Knight slashes in front of himself with a moderately large hitbox, dealing 12% damage. It has vertical knockback and is fairly powerful, being a reliable finisher. The move can also be used after the initial upswing Shuttle Loop, but doing it that way will cause Meta Knight to become helpless.
