Meta Knight slashes around him while spinning. In terms of startup and hitbox intervals, it is the overall fastest smash attack in the game. It is also a semi-spike with decent range. However, it has very low power and high ending lag, limiting its utility. As such, it is best used for relieving pressure or in edgeguarding.
