Meta Knight slashes behind himself three times.The final hit of the move has very high knockback growth (the third highest amount of growth from an aerial attack in the game, only surpassed by Mega Man's up aerial (260) and Pit/Dark Pit's up aerial (270)), making it a potent and feared KO move at high percents.

The second hit also sends the opponent at an Autolink angle, meaning if Meta Knight fast-falls with the move during the second hit, the opponent will be sent downards, allowing Meta Knight to set-up combos or finishers into the move.
