Metaknight- *The Official Thread*

[Bakuryu]

I have a question, more for kirby then metaknight, but what would kirby look like if he sucked up metaknight and took his powers? the same?

[theleocat5]

Finally,
That Disasterous Dreamland Destroyer is in.
He is a great addition to the series. He has that bad guy look and his moves and jumps and attacks and cloak sheild look amazinnng,

I'd think he'd look like Kirby with meta knight mask, but that's just my idea.

[TTemp]

Metaknight's gonna have enormous potential. The sword will probably have the same or less reach than Young Links sword, but just imagine that coupled with Jigglypuffs aerial maeuverability.....I can definitely see a lot of Metaknights coming into the smash scene, including myself. Now, the only thing that might make me re-think it is if he's lighter than Jiggs or Kirby, or if Ridley gets confirmed as being in the game....

[Magik0722]

Metaknight seems to attack very fast during his grab.... and hes air attacks seems broken unless there is DI in SSBB

On a side not i love the new abbreviation for this game its so much easier now

[Ippius]

Hmm...The directors should listen a bit more to the pleas of the players...That would make it sell better.

[TTemp]

You have to imagine how many messages they would have to sift through on an hourly basis, and howmany of these messages would consist of, "delete this character", "make this character better", or "make this character worse". By choosing to do it themselves, they negate (somewhat) this flood of ideas, questions, comments, and suggestions from the populous at large.

[Ippius]

A LOT! :laugh:
No seriously how bad must it be if they missed out a great/popular idea? Hmmm...

[TTemp]

True, but they took a calculated risk in not taking ideas from everyone. The developers have yet to let anyone down, I trust them to put out a great game with a multitude of fun and exciting things in store.

[Ippius]

Hmm...
Back onto Meta-knight, what do u think his super move will be? I know from the anime that he was able to pull up some Tornado/hurrican so do u think he'll be able to do that?

[Bowser85]

That Tornado move was also something he hit you with in Kirby Superstar so yeah. It would definately work as a super move if not anything else.

[LD50]

Ah, so very excited about Meta Knight. Can't wait to try him out.

[Ippius]

Who isn't?

[Shark X]

Meta Knight will replace Marth as my main and best.

[Ippius]

He'll replace Kirby...Or at least I'll play as him and Kirby with equal strength...

[Shark X]

If they make Kirby anywhere near as good as his SSB64 version, than Kirby will be my secondary character (as the good Kirby was my first in the original SSB, but since he was too downgraded in the second...meh).

[Ippius]

I've been a loyal kirby fan since the N64 game came out and even when he was nerfed. He's just soo cooool...Even though he was nerfed. Better make him better...

[LD50]

2v2 Meta Knight and Kirby team ^_^b

I just hope they don't consider the clone-aspect when making Meta Knight. Let him stand his own ground, Nintendo!

[Shark X]

From the looks of things, the only thing Meta Knight will be copying is Kirby's jumps.

I hope the teams aren't color coded. Pink Kirby, and Classic Kirby are the only colors of Kirby I can stand looking at, and neither one of them are on teams. So I would love to have Pink Kirby and Default Meta Knight vs Classic Kirby, and if they have one, a black Meta Knight (White Kirby and Black Knight).

[Ippius]

"White"/Pasty kirby was really really funny to play as. However I only play as pink. Hmmm...I wonder if they are going to make Meta-knight have more colours? And if they do what would they be and how would they be implemented on him...

[Shark X]

What would they be? Thats obvious. Default, Red, Green, and Blue -.-

[McFox]

Hopefully they'll do a black and white Metaknight as well. That would look kick ***.

[parvus]

i agree. but i still prefer his original colour scheme. he looks so cool that way

[Meta_Owns_Ur_Mom]

omg metaknight is going to be my main (followed by Captain olimar, if hes in) :)
here im makin a move set for him. I dont play the kirby games so tell me some moves he does in his games so i can work on it more :ohwell:
A- swipes his sword in an angle to the left (2%-3%)
AA- swipes to the right in a up angle (2%-3%)
AAA- jabs with his blade (3%-5%)
A>- pulls back sword and swipes (10%-16%)
Adown- swipes around his feet (8%-11%)
A^- swipes up (9%-15%)
B- swipes quickly (1%-2%) and a small tornado pops out where he swiped (5%-9%)(tornado has good knockback if percentage is high)
Bdown- wraps cape around himself blocking an attack completely has it out for 2.5 seconds)(once taken off ur wide open for a second so use wisely)
B>- pulls back sword and it ignites with flames (increasing it range) and swings (9%-14%)(does fire dmg and has decent knckback)
^B- kirby's ^B but a tad shorter (when blade comes up 5%-10%) and when it comes down (5%-9%)
Nair-twirls around like kirby (5%-6%)
Bair- swipes behind him (3%-5%)
Uair-swipes up 3 times (2% each hit)
Dair- swipes downward (4%-5%)(better knockback the Bair)
Fair- swipes 3 times forward (2% per hit)
Forwardthrow- tosses your foe with a swipe (4%-7%)
^throw- swipes ur opponent up wide open for a good combo Fair (3%-7%)
Downthrow- swipes them to the floor bouncing them off the floor, which is good b.c. after that u could get him with a good A> or something.
Dash- runs forward and then slashes twice reall fast (2% per hit)

WEIGHT: 4 OUT OF 10
SPEED: 6 OUT OF 10
RECOVERY: 7 OUT OF 10
POWER: 5 OUT OF 10
JUMP: 10 OUT OF 10

wat do u think? :) i changed the knockback on the tornado, made him have a 1 second wide open thing with the cape and his ^B weaker. I think his B> is fine though.

[Meta_Owns_Ur_Mom]

wow nice but i think u made his B moves a bit good some of em at least
wow thx, and tell me the moves i need to fix
EDIT: i lowered the knockback on his B move, weakened his ^B, and made a 1 second period on his downB where ur wide open.

[SSJ4Kazuki]

Metaknight I hope will not have Kirby's upB.
That was from a kirby hat, nothing to do with metaknight.

Metaknight DID have colours, and they will most likely be using
the colours from Kirby Air Ride.

There was Normal suit (Looked pretty bluish, perhaps that will be blue team)
A pink one, a green one, a white one and a maroon one. I can't remember,
but I think there was a black one too. I do remember his colour scheme
resembling Marth's (With added pink one).

Dedede was also playable, and he had his own set of colour schemes so
perhaps they could use the Kirby Air Ride models. It WAS developed by
Masahiro Sakurai, so I'd say he owns them.

The game's menus were pretty melee'd, and even used the same SFX
albeit at a lower pitch. There were also plenty of melee references, like
the Ice Climbers Kirby hat, and Link's too.

It will be that because in SuperStar if you don't have a weapon Meta Knight will give kirby a sword to fight 1v1 sword vs sword one of the funnest fights although the game was short

[DokturSea]

Hopefully they'll do a black and white Metaknight as well. That would look kick ***.
Well, if you've played Kirby Air Ride, you'd see that Metaknight actually has some nifty black color schemes and white ones too. Also, I think, there's a red and blue one.

But the only thing I fear about Metaknight is...well...he looks TOO good. I'm sure he'll have SOME kind of weakness or hinderance, but at the moment, he looks like a new Shiek.

Read posts before posting please.

[DokturSea]

:ohwell: No. I'm not going to go read an entire 5 page thread which has posts consisting of mostly "OMG METAKNIGHTS GUNNA B SO KEWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" So I said the same thing you did. Big whoop.

[Marshy]

Anyway, I think Zamus is going to be better. She has longer range, and still looks fast, reminds me of Marth, and they are both look feminine.

As for Metaknight, he got in, now we just need DeDeDe.

[colbusman]

although i favor snake over all the newcomers, i can't wait to play as metaknight. he had the coolest moves in the gameplay portion of the trailer. it was amazing to see all the fast swipes he used in the trailer.

[TAMASHI]

He's definetly gonna be an upper or top tier character just by watching the trailer, and main for...too many people I'm sure =/ . Personally, I can't wait to see a good fight between him and Pit =D

[SSJ4Kazuki]

Omg Metaknights Gunna B So Kewllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[A_Falco_user7350]

When i saw meta knight i began to think on if the sword combo was his standing still spamming neutral over n over or if it was like some B move like Marth and Roys Forward B

[Shark X]

Even if Meta-Knight is sadly low Teir, I'm going to dominate with him soo much that he'll be top teir because of me alone XD

So soo better give Meta-Knight some awesome looking black color, with a black cape, and grey mask with those red eyes, and maybe red sword.

Kirby's Copy, he soo better wear Meta-Knights mask and cape XD

[Volrec]

I hear meta knights winning song is kirby's in rock form

[Shark X]

It is. Sakurai said so himself.
