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 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 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]].


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]].
