Hey y'all, I'm no Meta Knight main but I have been researching him recently and what I've noticed is that his shield pressure is really weak. Either it just hasn't been developed yet, or he just goes negative on shield in general, or you guys just suck ... jk.
I looked at the frame data and a couple moves stood out to me, namely, nair and fair were decent on shield (nair being -1 or -2 or -5 when l-cancelled depending on the hitbox, and fair being -6 l-cancelled regardless of hitbox). D-tilt was pretty mediocre. I probably should have looked at dair, uair and bair but I just wanted to put this thread up and get a discussion going.
Honestly, MK's moves in general on shield kinda suck outside of nair from what I saw. He gets shield grabbed a lot in the games I've seen.
So, if he can't get good advantage outside of committing to an aerial, how does he not only establish, but maintain shield pressure? Discuss
