The Competitive History of Meta Knight In Super Smash Bros 

Bayonetta mains: Look what they did to me from Smash 4! Meta Knight: *Am I a joke to you?*

I always loved Meta Knight for his cool design, and his broken-beyond-repair gameplay in Brawl accentuated my liking for him even more. He seemed like the perfect rival to Kirby. However, one of my biggest caveats I have with using him in Smash is how all of his Special Moves cause him to free fall. Admittedly, he kinda needed the nerf, but it was more severe than I initially thought.

You can just hear Bonk's passion for MK bleeding into his voiceover.

As a middle schooler I had no console or PC to play real games. Just flash games on a mac. All my friends had consoles and what not. At a huge sleepover party, we started playing smash brawl. I thought meta knight looked cool and so I joined in and after a few rounds of getting used to a new game, I was constantly dominating and winning for the rest of the night and the next morning. It was so much fun making the kids that owned the game in the first place rage quit to the new guy who just so happened to think the most broken character looked the coolest. I will never forget about that even though it seems like such a long time ago and is a distant memory

Honestly, despite how broken he was, brawl meta knight was really cool.

Meta knight being op in brawl really fit him even if it was most likely unintentional as the game was made to be more of a party game and not have glitches people could exploit for the competitive scene. Meta knight is a highly expected sword fighter likely the strongest in all of smash lore wise and I feel that he should be made to reflect that. Every stroke of his blade should feel like an experienced slash and everyone of his moves should reflect his power. He may not be the best character in smash ultimatel but he's surely left his mark on smash history.

Always loved Meta Knight as a kid, and even more now as an adult. He's my main through thick and thin.

Let's go another competitive history video

Meta Knight in Smash 4: I cannot glide anymore. Steve: Haha 😂

Looking forward to the history of King Dedede and Wario.

Thanks for finally including those comp player's into smash history. They did bad things but their accomplishments were real and did much for the game and influence others.

I am so glad they are still doing this series. I was worried they had stopped it.

Brawl: Easily the best character in the game and probably the most powerful Smash character in history (altho there is an argument for Smash 4 Bayonetta being better, I'm personally in the Meta Knight camp) 4: Still extremely good, tho not as powerful as his Brawl counterpart. He was essentially dash attack and up air the character, along with having great ledge guarding abilities. Would be a top 10 until the DLC characters came out, but even then, MK was still pretty good against the DLC. Ultimate: Was very underwhelming at the start, often landing in low tier on most tier lists. MK has since gotten very few results in tournaments but he does have some potential to rise, along with getting a few buffs. MK is now often considered a mid tier character in many tier lists and could potentially rise further thanks to his amazing ledge guarding being just as good, if not better than some of the current top tiers. He could rise to high tier but for that to happen, there is going to need to be a seriously good, talented, and dedicated player getting extremely good results in tournaments.

Man as a kid I really wanted Metaknight to be in smash, so happy he made it into Brawl. Did not expect him to be as broken as he was in Brawl, but he was very fyn due to how much you could do with him.

Meta Knight...had a very rocky road. His Ultimate version however is quite fairly balanced, requiring proper skill to fully utilize. Also his Galacta and Dark skins are really cool!

Just because you put a trigger warning at the beginning of the video instead of straight out not mentioning these banned players as usual, you have my respect. Edit : And my sub :)

Can’t wait to see Leo bring this character back

I Hope ultimate meta knight Will be at least in High tier at One point

Brawl Meta Knight: exists Ice Climbers: *Hope you don't mind getting grabbed pardner*

Oh meds Knight how you feel hard my friend

Omggg you guys finally brought this back!!

Bonk! My favorite Smash Ultimate player! I love your Meta Knight man. Keep up the great work.

Thx by far my favourite Video series

I miss Ito..

Ngl the fact that meta knight could take stocks earlier than ganon but hit like sheik in smash 4 was hilarious

Finally after all these months this series has returned

My friend:Let’s play some brawl Me remembering that he is a Meta Knight main:”Vietnam War Flashbacks

This is actually an insanely grounded and objective perspective. I agree with Mid tier being a safe placement.

This is my favorite smash content tbh

I used to use Meta Knight a lot in smash 4 and I still enjoy him now. He's not one of my mains anymore tho

I'm looking forward to competitive history of Sonic and Donkey Kong (and possibly Dr. Mario).

You should do the competitive history for Bowser.

Yes I always love meta knight

Dang, I did not realize Meta Knight was like that in Brawl. The main thing being the sword range being so oddly disjointed. Also, "relatively early on" for Smash Ultimate's meta... I am not sure about that. Once all the DLC releases, who knows what happens. Nintendo may try to release another Smash against Sakurai's wishes and do it without him. In my opinion, that would be a terrible scenario, but it seems really appealing for Nintendo money-wise, especially with how selfish they have been. But I do hope that we see another 3 years of this game or something because there is still so much more for us to explore once the patches finally stabilize.

~he's all you ever wanted; you can win a set now, even if you never won it...~ Metaknight still da bess.

Do the competitive history of Sonic next

Abadango recently got second at a major with Meta Knight, hopefully a sign of things to come

I guess BONK! runs Pro Guides now.

MK just SCREAMS “look how they massacred my boy”.

I’ve had brawl since I was a baby, I Mained meta knight but Since I was young I was TRASH and just held 1 on the wii remote Luckily now I’m playing him in smash ultimate!

Shoutouts to Yei for almost single-handedly reviving interest in this character in Ultimate thank to his insane run at Smash Vertex (No shade to you, BONK!, but you gotta admit Yei was really impressive, right?).

The fact that MK got a Competitive story video before Captain Falcon is crazy...

I did not know Bonk had such an insane voice

I thought you guys had already made this video. I guess they didn't lol, it's still really cool that they made it.

Looking forward to the history of Donkey Kong

Looking forward to Yoshi

Do Competitive history of Ness next!

The series is back!

Metaknight could also chain grab and turn completely invisible in brawl.

Buff meta knight. He needs more dmg on his areals

Finally! This must have been the hardest character to do yet

Cant wait for ZSS

YOOOO HE GOT BUFFED IN THE PATCH

If Bonk vs Tweek wasn't the start of many break out performances then I don't know what is. *MK B META* and I can't wait to start competing in offline.

I really love this character but I just can't play him online anymore. I personally think he can be a high high tier in the Meta because if people think bayo is good then MK is SSS tier. MK B META (not my MK but still, also ROB B RAD) also can't wait for offline tournaments, might use him and online poopy

Meta knight 4 life, top tier!

Basically Metaknight received the Kirby treatment, better than Kirby, but he went from God to peasant

Was not ready for that face reveal

People often compare Brawl MK to Sm4sh Bayo. While they were both objectively busted and meta dominating, MK was great for Brawl, while Bayo was horrible for Sm4sh. I say this because, like the video mentions, despite how oppressive MK is in Brawl, he is still a very high skill, expressive character. While Bayo on the other hand is flowcharting: the character. MK doesn't touch you once or just press down B and kill you for it, Bayo does. Brawl MK was incredibly fun to play, and fun to watch, Bayo was neither of those. I liken Bayo to Brawl ICs. Get grabbed once and you die. Extremely unfun for everyone involved. I often wonder if Brawl MK would still be broken if he was modded into Ultimate, gliding and all.

A cool AF character. If in Smash or his home series. No matter what game.

14:25 i know thats Richter but is that True?? Will that work on any character? Or was that bad DI?

I feel like meta knight high tier after the buffs his back air kills so early

Yes a new completive history on that mk character. wait this isn't katchup still Good

Imagine a Brawl Meta Knight vs Steve from Ultimate.

I’m only watching cause it keeps on getting recommended

Do G&W or Yoshi next in the competitive history

The best character

BeHOLD

It’s been a while but the series is back!

brawl meta knight has infinite recovery

Competitive history of Matt when?

I can honestly say with confidence, no character will ever take Meta Knight’s #1 trophy ever again.

I like meta knight and lacaruo as are bros as guys I play

i can jus hear the sword flailing and the AREEGAHRO

Wish Sakurai wasnt so scared of brawl mk so he could be good again and not a mid tier

What did the Meta Knight player slither hunter thing get banned

At the topic of meta knight, subscribe to meta knight the commenter. He's a great dude.

Here I am asking for so long for a link competitive history in smash and these guys be like nope!

at 4:17 how can somebody have a golden frieza avatar in 2009 oO

300 likes and 0 dislikes good job pro guides

Looking forward to competitive history of king dedede

Meta knight is sick!

Please do Zelda's competitive history

Didn’t this YT had a discord at one point and time?

Bonk I bet you really wanted this video didn’t you😳

My favorite meta knight main myself(jk) good work BONK!

Bayo players: You’ll never understand my pain Meta Knight Players: Hehe, sorry

They should give him a sword

Ok yeah i totally thought meta knight was horrible in ultimate but I see this may not be true

He actually has 5 jumps btw

3:53 ofc you’re one to talk about banning characters

Alright fellas, watch my Meta Knight get him A tier >:))

Now, here's the advantage of Ultimate being your first Smash game and maining Meta Knight there: You already figured out strategies that work for what seems to be the weakest version of Meta Knight. You'll only go up if you get an earlier smash game.

I would like to see a fight between Pythra and brawl meta knight

DO LUCARIO NEXT PLS

I hope he gets buffed in the next super smash bros! HE's my favorite character!

High tier someday

This history completely omnits and disrespects project M. Brawl was long done and for a year (2013-2014) PM dominated the smash scene.

1:35 does this mean there can finally be a shiek video

I love meta knight
