'''Shuttle Loop''' is the name of [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight's]] [[Up B]] attack. Seen in this screenshot and in a few videos posted outside the [[Smash_Bros._DOJO!!|Dojo]], Meta Knight jumps into the air with his sword pointed upwards, goes into a loop and glides forward with his blade extended. The [[Shuttle Loop]] does around 9% of damage, and has good knockback, making it one of Meta Knight's few finishing moves.
After the initial "loop" you can directly control Meta Knight's flight path and even attack straight out of the glide. You can glide up as long as you just had the downward momentum to propel you. Using this roller coaster pattern you can glide across the stage indefinitely.


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, the shuttle loop can be timed to do two consecutive attacks--the initial upswing, and the quick swing to conclude the glide. The glide from this attack is slower than his regular glide, and allows better control.

One should be careful when using Shuttle Loop while facing off of the edge, for unless you quickly cancel the [[glide]], you could easily glide right off the stage with no chance of recovery.

The Shuttle Loop is actually a pre-existing maneuver. It was first used by Kirby in the SNES game ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' when he received the Wing ability.
