Meta Knight in Super Smash Bros. 4
Universe	Kirby
Other playable appearance	in Brawl
Final Smash	Galaxia Darkness

Meta Knight is a confirmed playable veteran character in Super Smash Bros. 4, revealed on August 13th, 2014, being teased before hand on the 11th. Visually, Meta Knight now has gauntlets over his gloves and small battle damage details on his armor to make him less cartoonish, the opposite situation to most character visual changes. Additionally, the top corners of his mask opening are more pointed, with the sides curving inward instead of being straight.

Confirmed information

• Meta Knight can no longer glide out of Shuttle Loop.
  • To compensate, Meta Knight now slashes the opponent twice whilst spinning in a large loop.

• The following moves are visually unchanged:
  • Forward tilt (third hit)
  • Forward smash
