Attributes

Changes from Brawl to PM

Meta Knight has been slightly nerfed from Brawl to PM, becoming a bit less broken than he was in Brawl.

• Last hit of neutral attack has stronger knockback.
• Last hit of forward aerial is faster, which combined with PM's psychics, allows much easier wall of pain combos.
• Glide attack does 13% damage (1% more than before).
• Down throw sends opponents on a more horizontal angle, allowing easier tech-chases from it.
• Drill Rush, being a more combo-orientated move, has more utility in combos.
• When using Dimensional Cape, flicking the C-stick before teleporting will perform a quick slash, dealing 14% damage. The original hit now also deals 16% damage.
• Gliding is no longer possible by simply holding the jump button; Shuttle Loop must be used to perform it.
• Has four midair jumps, rather than five.
• Neutral attack can no longer be held.
• Neutral aerial's sourspot can no longer link with the sweetspot.
• Last hit of forward aerial has weaker knockback.
• Down throw kicks less times and deals 8% damage (3% less than before).
• Mach Tornado's acceleration and deceleration decreased.
• Last hit of Drill Rush has weaker knockback.
• Shuttle Loop has a smaller range and is more of a vertical finisher.
• Sword trails are blue, rather than white/yellow.
• Back aerial is now a single swipe that deals 14% damage and has high KO potential.
• Down aerial has changed into a semi-meteor attack where Meta Knight falls while thrusting his sword downward, similar to how he does it in Kirby Super Star. When falling, it hits consecutively downwards with weak knockback dealing 1% damage per hit, and does 6% when landing with powerful, vertical base knockback. It has a high falling speed, giving Meta Knight a risk of self-destructing, though he can slightly move sideways during the move to prevent this. He cannot grab ledges with it, though. It is also possible to slightly aim it left or right from the start.
