Attributes

Changes from Brawl to PM

Meta Knight's new down aerial.

Meta Knight has received both buffs and nerfs, but was heavily nerfed overall, with many of his undesirable and overwhelming traits removed, but some newer, fairer options given.

  • Buff Last hit of neutral attack has stronger knockback.
  • Buff Down tilt has better usage as an attack, dealing 7% damage (3% more) with decent vertical knockback if sweetspotted.
  • Buff Last hit of forward aerial is faster, which allows much easier wall of pain combos under Project M's physics.
  • Buff Back aerial is now a single swipe that deals 14% damage and has high KO potential, making it a more potent edgeguarding tool than his previous back aerial.
  • Buff Glide attack does 13% damage (1% more than before).
  • Buff Down throw sends opponents on a more horizontal angle, allowing easier tech-chases from it.
  • Buff Drill Rush, being made into a more combo-orientated move, has more utility in combos.
  • Buff When using Dimensional Cape, flicking the C-stick before teleporting will perform a quick slash, dealing 14% damage.
  • Nerf The new physics, as well as the re-introduction of wavedashing and L-canceling, increase the pace of many characters' playstyles, allowing most of the cast to overcome Meta Knight's speed and mobility, which was dominating in Brawl. Although Meta Knight also receives these gifts, their effects on his metagame are extremely small.
  • Nerf Has four midair jumps, rather than five.
  • Nerf Gliding is no longer possible by simply holding the jump button; Shuttle Loop must be used to perform it.
  • Nerf Neutral attack can no longer be held.
  • Nerf Down tilt's interruptibility frames occur slower.
  • Nerf Neutral aerial's sourspot can no longer link with the sweetspot.
  • Nerf Up aerial has somewhat more overall lag (for one, it cannot be used repeatedly while jumping and rising unlike in Brawl), although it still has juggling potential.
  • Nerf Last hit of forward aerial has weaker knockback.
  • Nerf Up smash links worse than in Brawl, due to it being slower and the reduced amount of freeze frames.
  • Nerf Down throw kicks less times and deals 8% damage (3% less than before).
  • Nerf Mach Tornado's acceleration, deceleration and duration decreased.
  • Nerf Last hit of Drill Rush has weaker knockback.
  • Nerf Shuttle Loop has a smaller range.
  • Nerf Can no longer perform the Infinite Dimensional Cape.
  • Change Sword trails are blue rather than white/yellow.
  • Change Down aerial has changed into a semi-meteor attack where Meta Knight falls while thrusting his sword downward, nearly identical in animation to a similar attack in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. While Meta Knight is falling, the attack hits consecutively downwards with weak knockback, dealing 1% damage per hit and 6% upon landing with vertical and powerful base knockback. He cannot grab ledges with it, but can move slightly left or right before or while using it. It has much less offstage utility than his previous down aerial, but is a good combo starter on-stage.
  • Change Shuttle Loop is now more of a vertical finisher, and at low percentages it can link into the glide attack.
