Meta Knight returns to Super Smash Bros.

Remembering the games of yesteryear.

Meta Knight returns to Super Smash Bros.

Meta Knight is returning to Super Smash Bros. in the upcoming new game due later this year. He seems to be a very complex character who causes a lot of mixed feelings in many video gamers.

What are your thoughts on Meta Knight and his return?

Good old Meta Knight. I actually like him a lot as a character, he's very cool and mysterious, but he did wreak havoc on Brawl competitively. I remember when large parts of the community wanted to ban him, especially one of the tournament heads in Texas, where there's a big Brawl scene. But like the article said, it didn't take. Personally I think he caused some problems in the game (such as ledge stalling, which is called planking in Brawl, scrooging, and the annoyance of time-outs) but his matchups aren't that crazy. He's not, like, Super Turbo Akuma level or Marvel vs. Capcom 2 top tier level by any chance. He has the best chance to win a given tournament, but a number of other characters in the game are quite viable and have won major tournaments time and time again.

But yeah, I think the Meta Knight hate was over hyped in Brawl. He was a problem, but a few minor rule set changes took care of that. Still far and away the best character in Brawl competitively, but not by an insurmountable margin.

Never played Meta Knight, never had strong feelings. My roommate in college played him, but my Ness bested her Meta Knight pretty easy.

I still find it hard to be excited about the upcoming Smash. I'm either jaded to it anymore, or I just don't care because they have yet to make an announcement for the inclusion of the aforementioned Ness.

For me, he is a big meh. I'm more excited about the likes of Rosalina, Pacman, & Megaman, and happy with the return of Sonic, Lucario, and Ike.

Still no Wolf though... :(
