Whenever I face a meta knight I am unsure of what to do. It feels like Mario has the advantage but approaching and edguarding seem almost impossible. Mk is really fast and outranges (which can be aggravating at times). Have any advice on how to approach the matchup?

Basically the mk mu is stand on ledge and throw fireballs until he approaches you and then get combo damage while avoiding his dash attack. Then go camp ledge until he messes up and can kill him. Camping ledge against mk is easy and optimal.

Another great option against MK is pivot grab, as Mk will just spam dash grab and dash attack, and with proper timing dash grab nails 'em both.
