Meta Knight (SSBB): Difference between revisions

Meta Knight has been ranked 1st on the tier list since a few months after the game's release, commonly in his own tier above the rest of the cast. Players initially believed {{SSBB|Snake}} was the best character, but as the [[metagame]] evolved, Meta Knight's advantages in combat became more evident, and Meta Knight mains such as {{Sm|Mew2King}} began dominating tournaments, leading to him becoming the game's most commonly used character by far. Meta Knight has significantly better tournament results than the entire roster: many Meta Knight legal tournaments had Meta Knight players taking up more than half of the top 8, and Meta Knight won almost three times the amount of money in tournaments than the second-most successful character, Snake. In the later stages of the game's scene, innovations in the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}' metagame, especially their chain grab setups capable of annihilating any player given a single opportunity, led some players to challenge Meta Knight being the undisputed best character in practice. Despite this, Meta Knight remained in first place, with the Ice Climbers in the spot below him.
