The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Meta Knight pulls back his sword for a moment, then slashes in front of himself, dealing 14% uncharged to 19% fully charged. It's among his strongest moves in terms of knockback (KOing earlier than all of his other moves), but is also his slowest move in [[startup]] lag, with 24 frames. It can also be considered his only "slow" attack. However, it does have a very fast charge release, and very little [[ending lag]], with even less ending lag than his {{mvsub|Meta Knight|SSBB|down smash}}. The move is a powerful finisher, but its slow speed hinders its effectiveness, and a down smash is usually considered a better option due to having much faster startup. The best use for the move is for [[punish]]ing the opponent's [[edge]] options above 100%, and punishing linear and/or predictable recoveries, or non-[[transcendent]] recovery moves where the opponent doesn't grab onto the edge, such as [[Mach Tornado]].

Overview

The hitbox of Meta Knight's f-smash

Meta Knight pulls back his sword for a moment, then slashes in front of himself, dealing 14% uncharged to 19% fully charged. It's among his strongest moves in terms of knockback (KOing earlier than all of his other moves), but is also his slowest move in startup lag, with 24 frames. It can also be considered his only "slow" attack. However, it does have a very fast charge release, and very little ending lag, with even less ending lag than his down smash. The move is a powerful finisher, but its slow speed hinders its effectiveness, and a down smash is usually considered a better option due to having much faster startup. The best use for the move is for punishing the opponent's edge options above 100%, and punishing linear and/or predictable recoveries, or non-transcendent recovery moves where the opponent doesn't grab onto the edge, such as Mach Tornado.
