Meta Knight (SSB4)/Forward tilt

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 twice horizontally, and finishes with an upwards slash. This move's good range, fast start-up and endlag, and high base knockback make it a potent spacing option. With three separate slashes, it functions much like a jab. As such, the first two hits can be used to lead into other moves, most notably Shuttle Loop for a KO. This, however, isn't guaranteed, and works only as a mix-up. The move's trajectory can be used to set-up edgeguards, and starts KOing at the ledge at about 160%.
