Hi, I'm Ken (better known in the Smash community as MetaKing or #20MK | MetaKing), and I'm a contributor to this wiki, and a dedicated Meta Knight main (as well as a Lucina secondary).

I started playing Smash when I was around 8 years old, where at the time I only had my Wii and a few games to play with. Until one day at a yard sale I saw a copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee, two Wavebird Controllers (I eventually got Wired Controllers), and a Memory Card. Ever since that day I knew that the series would be with me for a very long time.

As stated above, I'm a very dedicated Meta Knight player because of my childhood experiences with The Kirby Series, and will probably continue to play him no matter what Buff, Nerf, controversy, Tier list, or player opinion. Some of my friends who've played against Vancouver's top players like Big D and Firefly, and are of even skill of me, even consider me the best Smash 4 Meta Knight player in Vancouver, mainly for dumb reasons like me being the highest placing Meta Knight at every tournament I go to, winning all three Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri tournaments without losing a single game (three-year champion, so far), and other top players at tournaments considering me as the most likely candidate for that title.

What is 20MK?

20MK is a (very) small, unofficial group created by MetaKing, a player generally considered to be the best SSB4 Meta Knight player in Vancouver, British Columbia, in terms of both results and publicity. The original main goal of 20MK was to find and combine forces of Meta Knight players in BC to improve and innovate the character's metagame, in a similar vein to 20GX, but the team has since turned into a general team, due to Meta Knight's lack of representation in the BC area. 20MK also encourages new players from young high-schoolers to inexperienced college students to join 20MK in an effort to improve their skill and mentality. As of now, only two players are members of 20MK, due to the fact of being relatively new and very unknown outside of close friends of MetaKing.

The term 20MK comes from the infamous joke made by Hax known as 20XX, where it is said that "The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox." The term has since been parodied to other Smash characters, such as 20GX for Captain Falcon, or 20DDD for King Dedede. For Meta Knight, the term abbreviates to 20MK.

General (random) things about me

  • I once experienced a glitch in Project M 3.02 with my friend in Boss Battles Mode, where my friend, AuraSoul's Mewtwo started out immensely tiny for some reason and stayed like that until he died. Unfortunately this only happened once and I didn't record any video proof (wish I did).
  • I have been to Nintendo of Canada's building (because it is located in my hometown), as well as walking past Nintendo of JAPAN's building during my trip to Japan.
  • I have been in the building of Namco Bandai Studios in Vancouver's building, and am friends with the (former) Executive Vice President, Atsuo (Anthony) Nakayama.
  • I Got Kirby Triple Deluxe one day before it officially came out in North America, and NO it is not a Japanese copy (Strangely I found it in a Real Canadian SuperStore of all places?)
  • I met the voice of Mario, Charles Martinet at a Retro Gaming Expo in New Westminster.

  • At Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri 2014's Doubles tournament, I BARELY survived beating a team 1 vs 2 as Marth in Grand Finals, with me having one stock and my opponents with FOUR!!! (Which is ironic going to that Project M doubles incident I mention later on here.)

  • At Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2016, in losers semis for doubles, I went off-stage as Marth with a down air, and spiked both of my opponents AT THE SAME TIME! "I defiantly deserved to taunt there! (Not the real footage, but looked a little like this.)

stories

  • TRUE STORY The Nihon fest tournament was a F**KING MESS!!! I had 16 players on a list chosen to fight each other AT RANDOM (Not a standard bracket) ON ONE TV and they DID NOT have a GameCube Controller Adapter (THANK GOD I brought mine, and to add to that, other GameCube controller users had to borrow mine, Jason (FoCus) and Krizeros' controllers, as they only provided Wii U Pro Controllers). After me and Jason complained the TO (who BTW is a total Sakurai-esque troll who doesn't know how to run a proper tournament and isn't even the REAL TO and only a sub) to make a bracket format instead, he ORIGINALLY did not plan for there to be a losers bracket (until I suggested it). Top 8 was played the second day even though we had plenty of time the first day, and when Top 8 FINALLY happened, only 4 of the 8 players showed up (Me, Jason, Krizeros, and some other guy we don't know). The worst part was the Top 8 "Bracket"; the TO made it ROUND-ROBIN rules instead of the proper bracket, and ignored the fact that winners play winners, and losers play losers. Me and Jason spent almost 12 min arguing with him until he finally decided to do it the proper way. After the tournament, Me, Jason, and Krizeros immediately drove off to VSB to make-up for a disappointing tournament.
  • Vancouver Anime Evolution Akimatsuri 2016 (whom I was the one that started it and was the TO of... Meaning it was kinda unofficial...) only had 6 entrants... (4 teams in doubles) Yeah... I know... BUT, it makes it my first ever Smash 4 tournament that I've won solely using Lucina, and to NOT USE META KNIGHT AT ALL!!! Now That's a BIG Surprise coming from Me! Also, no game losses... Again...

stories

  • At Anime Revolution 2014, me and my partner won our first set, then after that someone came-up to us and said "you were fighting the wrong team". We then played the team we were suppose to fight, but my friend's Link got the $#!% beaten out of him, leaving my Meta Knight alone, which resulted in our loss. BUT THEN the same guy told us that we WERE fighting the right team, but couldn't do anything about it because of complications on the bracket and because it was already near the end of the tournament, making us only place 7th out of 11 teams! (And I drank a lot of Orange Crush for nothing!).

In My opinion, for Smash 4...(*may be outdated and/or informal and/of incomplete reasonings)

Most Overrated Character Roy (SSB4)
Stupidest character to fight against *(If you main any of these characters, sorry, but I just don't like fighting your character)*. *Cloud (SSB4)Mario (SSB4) ← (The easiest characters to play that are Top Tiers, so it gets annoying when half of my bracket consists of Clouds and Marios (the former in particular has become so common in the BC scene that it has literally became a meme within the BC Smash community.).
  • Sonic (SSB4) ← (Literally just runs away and does the same 2 moves over and over again gets repetitive to play against and watch.)
  • Ryu (SSB4) Bayonetta (SSB4) ← (Up tilt traps and repetitive 0-deaths are no fun to play against. >:( )
  • Corrin (SSB4) ← (Side B is literally broken... Like, actually; I don't see a single weakness to that move, and everyone I meet (even Corrin mains!) seem to agree with me on that.)
  • Link (SSB4) ← (Uhhhhhh........ Kill me, please..........)
  • Villager (SSB4) ← (Fighting a Village camping with f-airs, b-airs, and Lloid Rocket is cancerous, and Lloid Rocket momentum-cancelling means he/she lives FAR longer than he/she should.)
  • R.O.B. (SSB4) ← (Probably my most hated character to fight overall; he is far too over-reliant on using Gyros and N-air to win, and his up air is really annoying to DI properly. His overall presence is also annoying; I don't hate that he's in this game, I just don't like the thought of "getting beat up by an average at best gaming-peripheral from the 80s".

Amiibos I have

About my mains

  • How high the character is indicates how much I generally like and/or play them.
Super Smash Bros. (Inactive; may be outdated and/or informal reasonings)
IntenseDifficulty.pngMain I've never had an interest in playing any other character besides Falcon as a primary main, and he is the easiest character to play as in my opinion (besides recovery). I really don't see Smash 64 as something I'll play truly competitively due to its higher learning curve compared to the other games, so I really only play it in friendlies, but Falcon is always the character I turn to. (Also Down air is broken!)
VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries Before I unlocked Falcon as a kid, Kirby and Fox were my mains, and decided to keep them as primary secondaries after I decided to main Falcon. Same story as Kirby...

I generally liked playing as Luigi as a kid, and even though some consider him the worst character (which really he isn't!), I would always play Luigi if Im having a good time. Same as Luigi, except as a better character.

Super Smash Bros. Melee (Inactive; may be outdated and/or informal reasonings)
IntenseDifficulty.pngMains Before I got Melee for myself, I played the game at a friend's house, and believe it or not, Marth was the first Smash Bros. character I ever played! After I got Melee, I immediately unlocked Marth first. After I started to learn the game competitively, and learned about all the advanced techniques and tier lists, I knew I made a good choice of choosing Marth.

I don't recall how I got to main Falco, but he seems to fit my playstyle well, and I felt like I can learn the advanced fundamentals like Mulitishining from him, so here he is.

VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries 20XX..... Nothing much here.

Easy for anyone to pick up and play, and my "for fun" character that I feel Im decent with. Personally, Im all about disrespecting in some way.

If I feel like my Marth is playing good enough to "devolve", and Low Tier tournament main.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Inactive; may be outdated and/or informal reasonings)
IntenseDifficulty.pngMains I feel like if I'm ever playing someone new I always have to explain why I main him: Quote- "I main Meta Knight not because he's the best character (I didin't even know he was for a while) I main him because of my childhood with the Kirby series, and because he is my favorite video game character!" (I cannot tell you how many times I've had to say that!) Anyway, Meta Knight in Brawl was really fun for me because he could do anything I wanted for a character, and as a result, fit my playstyle perfectly. It was like I was meant to play him.

During the short ban on Meta Knight, I needed to find a main. Then I remembered that if Meta Knight wasn't a character for me, Dedede was my go to guy. I really like his playstyle and the things he can do, like his amazing recovery and his infamous chain grab (I swear, I've made like so many players rage-quit just from that!) And BTW, landing that Forward Smash, is ooooo soooo satisfying!

VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries At first, I hated some of the changes the did to Marth from Melee, such as the reduced range and nerfed Down air, but after a while I gotten to like this Marth too, and while he is no longer my true main, he is my go to secondary.

Same story as Marth.

Super Smash Bros. 4
IntenseDifficulty.pngMains I defiantly planned on maining Meta Knight again after he was announced, but during the time of October 2014-May 2015, I was honestly SCARED about his viability at the time, feared that I would really have to work myself off in tournament if he were to be considered Low Tier. But, as time went on, all of that changed for the better. After MkLeo's win against Mr. R at Smash Factor 4, I knew... "Meta Knight is (sort of) back!" Ever since then, I've gotten decent results in tournament with his and he has become the character I am most recognized with around the players, and is my favorite incarnation of Meta Knight to play as.
VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries Before the game came out, of all the newcomers, Lucina was the only one I had any real interest in maining, due to my experience with Fire Emblem Awakening and her being similar to Marth, and when Smash 3DS came out in NA, I didn't think the character was as bad as others were saying she was, and decided to keep the character despite others' opinions. Another reason was because of Marth (who overtime, I began to dislike watching and playing as in Smash 4, due to his playstyle being rather repetitive in my opinion; constant Tipper F-air spacing and tippers in general started to get boring for me to watch and play as) being my main in Melee (this was when I was still active in Melee BTW), I thought Lucina's less precise playstyle wouldn't affect how I played Marth in Melee, and it seemed to work well with me. Overtime, the character's buffs turned her from my favorite character to play as other than Meta Knight, to that and my key secondary. I'm always one to choose Lucina over Marth! XP

Kirby is a character who I always enjoyed watching and who I would always root for in tournament (if he wasn't against MK or Lucy that is :l), and I loved his combo game and fundamentals, and Kirby as a character himself. So, one day, out of sheer boredom, I randomly decided to pick up the character, and instantly felt like I mastered the character. His easy combo game and simple strategy really fit my playstyle, and while I have since given up on trying to get him on par with my Meta Knight and Lucina, I now hold him as the most underrated character in the game. Originally, despite the character's nerfs (which I didn't notice for a while) I still loved playing as Dedede, and his reputation in Vancouver is also strong because of Big D, and I use to see him as the most underrated character in the game, but, after gaining more experience, and from what Big D sees in him, I've excepted overtime that Dedede is one of the worst characters in the game, and, unless you're Dawson. you won't accomplish anything notable with him. I still like playing him sometimes, but I play him far less than I use to, as I would rather concentrate on the characters I enjoy playing more and that will actually benefit me (Meta Knight and Lucina), and I also no longer think of Dedede from a favorable perspective. (Sorry Dawson! :P)

Same as Dedede. The buffs he received were enough to make him a secondary (for fun, that is) again, and is a character I LOVE to play as in friendlies when everyone else is bored of playing seriously.

Project M (Inactive; may be outdated and/or informal reasonings)
IntenseDifficulty.pngMain While I mained the character before this, during the Summer of 2014, I went to Anime Revolution, an event Vancouver has annually, and played a TON of Project M friendlies, of course, as Meta Knight. I was considered the best Meta Knight at that event, and really got me confident on my potential in tournaments.

Same as Melee.

VeryHardDifficulty.pngSecondaries Under the influence of Big D (who I met at Anime Revolution 2014... And got bodied by...) I decided to Keep Dedede around as a strong secondary. BY FAR the best version of Roy ever, and the only one I truly enjoy playing. Project M did a FANTASTIC job with buffs that actually matter, and defiantly the only version of Roy I don't sandbag on in tournament.

Same as Melee. Same as Melee.
