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 (an excuse lol :P) for a general team, due to Meta Knight's lack of representation in the BC area... Okay, its really just an excuse for a crew at this point, but most crews started like that, so, who knows.

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 AuraSoul in Boss Battles Mode, where AuraSoul's Mewtwo started out immensely tiny for some reason and stayed like that until he died. Unfortunately this only happened once and I was unable to 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.

stories/random facts

  • 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 Anime Evolution Akimatsuri 2014, I Ken Combo'd someone in friendlies, WITH Roy!!!
  • 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 certainly deserved to taunt there!" (Not the real footage, but looked a little like this.)
  • I didn't enter Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 2017's Melee tournament due to me moving fully to Smash 4, yet I ended up doing surprisingly well against others, despite not having played Melee for 9 months... So I should've entered anyway?...

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...

Random Smash 4 opinions...(*may be outdated and/or informal and/of incomplete reasonings)

Category Character
Favorite Character(s)     ← "Noticing a trend of blue swordsman with masks? Yeah, so did I!" ;D
Most Underrated Character(s) *  ← (Even though some players do have strong opinions against his favor, he is CRIMINALLY under-appreciated by the community and those who over-look him for "Relevant characters")
  •   ← (If one masters her: i.e. Prince Ramen)
  •   ← (After Patch 1.1.5.)
  •   ← (Around "The Marth Purists" that is)
Most Overrated Character ??? (Originally  , but after him getting a few decent results in tournaments thanks to Hyper, as well as my own area in players like Snow and RedX, I now feel his position in the current meta is about the same of what I think 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 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.
  •   ← Literally just runs away and does the same 2 moves over and over again gets repetitive to play against and watch.
  •     ← Something about getting combo'd by these two is particularly annoying to me for some reason (especially the latter).
  •   ← 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.
  •  Uhhhhhh........ Kill me, please..........
  •   ← Fighting a Villager camping with f-airs, b-airs, and Lloid Rocket is cancerous for me a lot of the time, and Lloid Rocket momentum-cancelling means he/she lives FAR longer than he/she should.
  •   ← Probably my most hated character to fight overall; 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".

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.
