The direction in which Meta Knight attacks is based on the direction in which he teleported. He slashes forwards if he moved straight up or down prior. When attacking after moving horizontally, he slashes towards the position at which the move started; for instance, if he moved to the right, he will slash to his left side. If no movement was made, he slashes forwards; however, if the player inputs downwards while on the ground, he will attack behind him while remaining stationary.

In ''Brawl'', the move is used most often at the [[edge]]; the teleporting portion of the move allows for various [[edge-guarding]] techniques. With the correct timing, it is possible to teleport from the stage and grab the ledge using the move, setting up an [[edge-hog]]. It is also useful for [[planking]], and the slash can be used after teleporting back onto the stage to punish [[recover]]ing opponents.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the move is used most often at the [[edge]], as the teleporting portion of the move allows for various [[edge-guarding]] techniques. With the correct timing, it is possible to teleport off of the stage and onto the edge using the move, setting up an [[edge-hog]]. It is also useful for [[planking]], and the slash can be used after teleporting back onto the stage to punish [[recover]]ing opponents.


The move was heavily [[buffed]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', granting Meta Knight more [[frame]]s of intangibility and dealing slightly more damage and significantly more knockback; though it still has noticeable startup, it can be used as a surprise [[KO]] option. The move also has a new slashing animation after teleporting backward, wherein he slashes upwards without changing his direction. However, the aforementioned ledge techniques are no longer of any great use, due to ''Smash 4'''s new ledge mechanics.

In both games, Meta Knight utters "Fool..." ({{ja|"甘いな!"|Amai na!}}, ''How naive/soft!'') when he disappears.

This move is based on Meta Knight's ability to teleport using his cape in the [[Kirby (universe)|''Kirby'' games]]. Usually, after he is defeated in the games, his mask falls off, which reveals a face similar to [[Kirby]]'s, and he wraps himself in his cape and jumps, disappearing. Meta Knight's use of this technique to perform a sneak attack is plausible, albeit seemingly out-of-character for a swordsman who prides himself on honorable fighting. However, he is never shown to be actually capable of invisibility or teleporting outside of jumping away, and mostly fights without using his cape itself.

He has also been using this move in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' to destroy the platform he is standing on and make a dramatic entrance.
