Meta Knight
B TierMeta Knight excels in his ability to outmaneuver opponents with his six jumps and powerful recovery options like Shuttle Loop, allowing him to control the pace of the match. Utilize his Neutral Special, Mach Tornado, near the ledge to catch opponents trying to jump back onto the stage, and leverage Drill Rush to surprise foes, especially when they are vulnerable like Wario on his bike. However, be cautious with his special moves; using them offstage can lead to self-destructs if you miscalculate your positioning. Meta Knight's relatively short range compared to some sword fighters can be a disadvantage, so focus on spacing your attacks effectively to maintain control in matchups against characters with longer reach.

Tips for Meta Knight
- if you use Meta Knight’s Side B (Drill Rush) against Wario on his bike, it completely ignores the bike and picks him off of it easily!
- Neutral Special is great on the ledge for stealing jumps when characters try to jump back on stage instead of grab the ledge. It can also be used offstage, but it will put you in free fall.
- If you want to finish an off-stage opponent quickly, try hitting Meta Knights Nair attack. It has very powerful horizontal knockback
- The second hit of fastfall bair can lead into a jab-lock/techchase situation.
- Be careful when using his special attacks. If you go off stage with one of them, you are good as dead
