Hi, I'm Ken (better known in the Smash community as MetaKing or formerly #20MK | MetaKing), and I'm a contributor to this wiki, and a dedicated Meta Knight main (*Read last paragraph for updates*).


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 (in my opinion) rather dumb reasons like me being the highest placing Meta Knight at every tournament I go to, and other top players at tournaments considering me as a possible candidate for that title, though I mostly deny this fact due to my inconsistent active/inactive status, as well as me considering Zak to be the better MK player in BC IMO.

With that said, I'm currently on a hiatus from (solo)-maining/playing Meta Knight in Smash 4 as of 08/04/18. I haven't dropped him altogether (NEVER WOULD I LEGITIMATELY DO THAT lol), nor is this an "emotional" change due to me "being salty I loose with him", far from it. Its morso that I feel like if I stick with ONLY him for the rest of my Smash career that I'll be left behind in the current meta, especially in my region, where players who main characters that naturally counter MK (such as Mario and Cloud) are fairly common. Going on from "MK in the meta", I personally believe he's reached the peak of his viability at all levels of play this point, and his peak IMO is generally: "Can win tournaments, but it takes more effort to solo main him compared to dual-maining him/having secondaries/secondarying him". (Most MK players like MkLeo, AC, and Abadango are examples of this in each of the different ways). So I made a promise to myself that if I don't get Top 8 with Solo MK at the next tournament I went to that had at least 100+ entrants (that ended up being AniRevo Summer 2018) that I would drop Solo MK and focus more on Lucina instead. The result was a close, but in the end, rather disappointing (for me) 9th place finish at AniRevo Summer 2018 (which is actually pretty good, but I made a promise and will keep a promise). With that, I'm currently focusing on getting my Lucina to at least a close to the level of my MK, and so that matchups that are difficult for MK (notably Mario) won't be such a hassle for me anymore, especially after going Solo MK for almost 2 years now, I'm slowly finding less enjoyment out of the character after playing him for so long. I still love the character, undoubtedly my favorite character of all time in general, its just for the time-being, I guess you can say I'm a Lucina main now lol.

Random facts from me

  • My favorite characters are (as if it weren't obvious enough) Meta Knight and Lucina. The fact that they're both my favorite color (blue), and wield swords is literally perfect for someone like me, as well as me loving them in their origin games/series. The fact that they both have masks though is purely coincidental XD.
  • It just so happens that my name is Ken and I play Red Marth   (main in Melee  )... Sounds familar right? lol
    • Besides this, I typically use default and/or blue Alts for characters I play (Falco and Donkey Kong are notable exceptions to this though, as I use the black Falco color   and the Gold Donkey Kong color  , which my friends jokingly refer to as The Crow and Super Saiyan Kong).
  • My favorite smasher overall is Nairo.
  • I once experienced a glitch in Project M 3.02 with my friend, AuraSoul in Boss Battles Mode, where his Mewtwo started out immensely tiny for some reason and stayed like that until he died on the final round. Unfortunately this only happened once and I was unable to record any video proof (wish I did, as I'm curious to know if something like this has happened to anyone else).
  • 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.
  • I am left-handed; which makes me pretty decent at movements of my control stick, but hinders my button-mashing when excessive mashing is required (notably with Luigi).

Random Smash 4 opinions...(*may be outdated and/or informal and/or incomplete reasonings)

Category Character
Favorite Character(s)     ← "Noticing a trend of blue swordsman with masks? Yeah, so did I!" ;D
Most Underrated Character(s) This is a difficult one for me to truly decide to be honest. Tho a few characters I feel are underrated (to varying degrees) in my opinion are:

    

Most Overrated Character Another difficult one (Originally  , but after him getting a few decent results in tournaments thanks to Hyper, as well as my own area in players like Shoghi, Snow and RedX, I've now completely changed my opinion of him, so I'm leaving this unknown for now).
Stupidest character to fight against *(If you main any of these characters, sorry, but I just don't like fighting your character)*. *    ← The easiest characters to play that are in the higher tiers. Its not necessarily that I'm bad in the matchup(s), it just gets annoying when half of my bracket consists of Clouds, Marios, and Falcons (all three having become so common in the BC scene that it has literally became a meme within the BC Smash community (especially Falcon)).
  •   ← His high usage of Gyros and auto-cancel N-airs is pretty annoying, and his up air is really weird to DI properly. His overall presence is also annoying; I don't necessarily hate the character or the fact 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 :P".
  •   ← Its Bayonetta, what else can I say that hasn't already been said?..
  •   ←Probably my most hated character to fight (and watch) overall. Literally just runs away and does the same 2 moves (that's exaggerating FYI) over and over again gets repetitive to play against and watch. Also, the noise for Spin Dash gets REALLY fuggin annoying after like the twelfth time (which happens rather quickly considering how much that move is used in Sonic's neutral game).

Amiibos I have

  • Italics are names
  • On the subject of figures, I also have the Kirby, Marth, and (the fantastic 10/10) Meta Knight Nendoroids, as well as the amazing Lucina Figma.

About my mains

  • How high the character is indicates how much I generally like and/or play them.
