Meta Knight (SSBB)/Glide attack

Overview

The hitbox of Meta Knight's glide attack

Meta Knight slashes in front of himself with a moderately large hitbox, dealing 12% damage. It has vertical knockback and is fairly powerful, being a reliable finisher. The move can also be used after the initial upswing Shuttle Loop, but doing it that way will cause Meta Knight to become helpless. This is one of moves that bans him from most tournaments. It was removed from SSB4.
