'''Shuttle Loop''' is the name of [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight's]] [[Up | '''Shuttle Loop''' is the name of [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight's]] [[Up special move]]. 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. | ||
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. | 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.

* It's actually possible to control the Shuttle Loop's glide in a way that will allow you to travel all the way around the bottom of some stages and grab the ledge on the other side. This most notably happens on [[Final Destination (SSBB)|Final Destination]] and [[ | * It's actually possible to control the Shuttle Loop's glide in a way that will allow you to travel all the way around the bottom of some stages and grab the ledge on the other side.
