- Sonic isn't that small, unless he's in a spindash lol. He's only fast with his ground movement. His kill moves are all ridiculously slower and weaker than you'd want them to be.
- On the idea that small weight is bad, I'm guessing heavy weight is generally good. Like when they're being juggled or caught in something ridiculous like bullet seed.
- When people refer to Metaknight being 'fast', they're talking about his moves. Almost no startup or ending lag, and his aerials have very little landing lag. On top of that, his attacks are disjointed. People thought Olimar had alot of priority before, but it was really because his attacks came out so fast and he'd hit them before they got to start moves. Metaknight can do that too. Just use your quick moves and space well, and they won't be able to attack. Someone mentioned that MK's combos are escapable. Of course, the majority of 'combos' (er, juggles) are escapable in Brawl, but MK's attack speed lets you follow up your miss and punish your opponent's dodge sooo much easier.
- Up-B isn't as spammable as D-smash, so if you can pin your opponent with D-smash, you can land that kill move or set up for an off-stage gimp easier.
- What is this about Tornado? Why would a good metaknight player, who's fully aware of the 'falling' weakness even go high enough to allow an opponent to punish him as he's falling? Weave in with a floating tornado (better range/priority), weave out while falling, repeat.
Light vertical weight is MK's weakness, and it's only a statistical one. His horizontal control allows him to survive horizontal kill moves pretty well, similarly to Kirby/GAW.
Aside from light weight, all the weaknesses you wrote in are way too easy to get around.
