Meta Knight (SSB4)/Forward aerial

This article or section may require additional technical data. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Overview

Meta Knight slashes in front of himself three times. Though a quick move, it is his slowest aerial, hitting on frame 9. While it has relatively low ending lag, it has high landing lag. At very low percents, it can combo into another forward aerial, or into Shuttle Loop until mid-percents. Its long range, good speed, and decent power make it effective in a Wall of Pain. However, even with its uses, it is generally considered inferior to his other aerials, due to their faster speed and, in the case of his neutral and back aerials, better power.
