    I love how everyone is either reconsidering their tier lists for Meta Knight or at least talking about him. Goes to show how one player can change how everyone views a character.
    Now if only a Shulk or Marth main would win a major.

      It's kind of like what happened with Leo and Byleth except you could possibly argue that this is a stronger case for MK since he's not being piloted by the best player in the world (no offense to the legend Abadango)

    • @Spyder-Marth
      @Spyder-Marth Před rokem +7

      @@MisterCwisper Facts. If Leo didn't pick up Byleth, he would still be seen as low tier. If Leo didn't drop Marth and/or won a major, he'd still be seen as top tier. If Ragelo never got 9th at Smashcon with Lucas, nobody would even consider him viable. If Light never played Fox, absolutely nobody would know how good he is.
      I can go on, but I think I've given enough examples.

      @Spyder-Marth Před rokem +5

      @Lapis Manalis I've mained him from the day I got Ultimate in 2020. He is definitely cracked. He's good on any competitive stage and he is good in almost every match-up depending on how you play him in that match-up. With so much diversity in his kit, I hate seeing him underutilized. He even beats many top tiers either in Neutral, offstage, or both, but nobody talks about that.

    I'm glad Meta Knight is back on the map. And I just wanna say how much I love that "Nebula Belt" is playing in the background. If I'm not mistaken, that's the level that was most suited for farming the airtime needed to unlock Meta Knight in Kirby Air Ride. Genius editing.

  • @andrewfeng7411
    @andrewfeng7411 Před rokem +47

    15:14 just a tidbit from an mk main--ladders are heavily dependent on % bc upair doesnt send into tumble (so u can only sdi) at lower %s depending on char weight. since sephiroth is so light, upair tumbles much earlier which is why ken can escape so easily

    • @andrewfeng7411

    As an MK player I think the char is a solid high tier, very risk reward but has super good things about him, his biggest weakness being getting important hits and his more linear neutral. But if you're able to hit the ladders or get good percent off of them, you're golden. He has top tier edgeguarding, really good disadvantage, good at getting out of the corner, super deadly combos, good frame data, good advantage. Think people only think he's bad because lack of reps and he's unorthodox to play and requires a lot of time to get ladders and bridges down

    @Mixa_Lv Před rokem +5

    10:36 Aba must've tried to spotdodge or roll because he is still holding his shield a frame before the hit, neither are intangible on frame 1. Holding the shield would've been a break, and letting it go would've been a parry, and that definitely isn't a shield poke.

    Rly enjoying how the ultimate meta is playing out .. even w steve dominance and pyra/mythra being annoying we’re seeing specific character counters that have specialized answers for those characters (Lucas, metaknight respectively). wonder if we’ll see top pros pick up one-character counter secondaries as the game evolves

    Lets' go Abadango, man those ladder combos. What a throwback!

  • @SaruOmega
    @SaruOmega Před rokem +3

    sephiroth is combo food for mk combos, and he's very susceptible to bridges. it's just the combo window happens at an earlier percent, so abadango was unintentionally making the combos more difficult by doing dash attack into up smash, so when he would try to ladder sephiroth after another dash attack, sephiroth would go into tumble earlier which is way easier to just DI out of the ladder combo
    otherwise, if he kept sephiroth closer to around 7-14% ish, he could do a bridge/ladder off of a grab near ledge and probably kill him much more consistently

    I think now that Smash Ultimate isn't getting anymore balance updates, more underused characters are gonna start popping up. I remember when the game got leaked and EVERYONE was talking about Meta Knight and then once the game came out pretty much everyone forgot about him. So glad to see that there's still dedicated Meta Knight players out there still putting in work. Ultimate has so much to offer and i'm hoping to see more underused characters do it big.

    Meta Knight is under-estimate because of his nerf thank of his reputation as a Broken character.
    I used to see his Rufio combo as cheap and stereotypical for Meta Knight that I am convinced he is more than that. Heck, he can win with without them!
    And Abandago proves me wrong by turning a cheap combo into a punishable move. Combined with a strong neutral, he turns MK into a beast.
