Meta Knight (メタナイト, Meta Knight) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
Aesthetics
- As with all veterans returning from SSB4, Meta Knight's model features a more subdued color scheme. His mask, armor, and sword feature more detailed textures.
- Galaxia's sword trails now appear to use reversed colors, using aqua with yellow accents instead of the yellow with turquoise accents from Smash 4.
- Meta Knight's eyes close while using his up taunt. Additionally, the trails emitted by the tornado are now colored white instead of yellow.
- In his alternate costume based off Galacta Knight, Galaxia turns pink, similarly to Galacta Knight's lance, and his mask resembles that of Galacta Knight's.
Attributes
- Like all characters, Meta Knight's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.
Ground Attacks
- Dash attack has higher knockback, reducing its combo potential.
Throws/other attacks
- Pummel is faster.
- Down throw appears to have much higher knockback, reducing its ability to combo.
Special Moves
- Mach Tornado now has a vortex form around him.
