My favorite one is the Kirby Epic Yarn fight, because he has more than one type of sword with different unique attacks. Especially for the purple and red one...😅
Kind of interesting to see how his fighting style has changed over the years. He used to basically just be the sword ability but now he’s flying around, firing sword beams and Mach tornadoes and has even started throwing tons of rocks at you and occasionally duplicating himself. Give the puffball credit, he never stops improving.
@@quentonfrancis2616 the duplication sorta did stick around, it's just only *phantom* meta knight that uses it for one move, when it wants to catch you in its upper caliber, it'll spawn one other doppelgänger (probably only for phase 2 though) - so it's pretty subtle but still here (also, see kirby fighter 2 fight. it's a spinoff game that's pretty much post-star allies, and the duplication is shown in the vid...)
I've always loved that Meta Knight throws Kirby a sword. He REFUSES to fight Kirby on uneven ground in most cases. It was even a clue that Dark Meta Knight was an impostor.
I've always loved how Meta Knight has always been more of anti hero, usually just fighting Kirby to test him or train, never really out to do harm, except in Revenge of Meta Knight where he just decided to go crazy and be evil for a bit for no particular reason other than I guess for the lols.
tbf it was the early games, and idk if i would even call that evil considering dreamland's inhabitants are quite lazy to leave it up to kirby to save them every time. it might have been more of him being extreme but meaning good rather than outright villainous behavior, and since then he's learned not to overstep even for the greater good. least, thats the only in character justification i can think of lol
He had a reason, it was a bit extreme though. He didn’t like that the citizens of Dream Land were living a lazy and carefree lifestyle so he wanted to make a change to it. That change just happened to be launching a full scale attack trying to overthrow the kingdom.
@@kwagz3314 True, he did have a reason, one he stated fairly plainly too, but honestly I just found it funnier to say "he just decided to go crazy and be evil for a bit for no particular reason other than I guess for the lols."
officialandarguably reasonable reason for doing so aside, it is pretty funny to think that Meta knight tried to take over the world once and everybody just kinda forgot about it.
as a Meta knight main id trade Drill rush for a Projectile in a heartbeat, Drill rush is only good to Kamikaze offstage with your Opponent and Mix up Recover
my bro looks CURSED *stares at you, helplessly trying to talk to you.* HIS VOICELINES THO😭 "FiGhT Me" "Yu HaVe MuCh To LeArN" "YU KNOW MY POWAAAA" BRO NEEDS TO FIRE THIS VOICEACTOR😭😭😭
I love the continuity in squeak squad, when you fight meta knight at the end of secret sea, you realize that the strange facility you’ve travelled through for the last one or two levels is actually the halberd, still at the bottom of the sea where it crashed at the end of revenge of meta knight.
Meta Knight (alongside his darker version since Amazing Mirror) is one of my favourites for this series. His music themes have several different versions throughout each game he appears in. My favourite is from Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby’s (Extra) Epic Yarn, Kirby: Planet Robobot and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
In Star Allies, you can comically anger Meta Knight into triggering an alternate intro animation if you refuse to get the sword for about 20 seconds or fly up to the platform that he stands on
Fun Fact: In Kirby and forgotten land, when he dashed at you, Hit B and spam B a lot then when he gets knocked out, take his sword stabbed into the ground and then meta knight will fly out and grab his old sword. Edit: Possibility you can do it with Phantom Meta Knight
@@Theoriginalautismer7790go to 36:51 in the video, when meta knight is knocked, Do ya see his sword stabbed into the ground? Instead of attacking him run and get that.
@@patrisowka2010 actually in the boss fight with meta knight and phantom meta knight you can parry their lariot attack using sword kirby and cause them to lose galaxia. Then you can steal galaxia to turn into meta knight sword and they come back with the original sword.
At this point, I'm convinced Nintendo/HAL has changed MK's wings to being an actual part of his body that he can magically turn into a cape - not a cape that happens to be magic. In most all of the 3D games, Meta Knight has been depicted as having the wings being his natural state - like that's just what he normally looks like, and he's able to turn his wings into a cape at will. That's what it feels like to me, at least.
Seems like it indeed. Retroactively changing the old cape lore may have been done to better pit him with the other Knight characters like Aeon Hero and Morpho Knight, who naturally have their wings out as well.
I like to think the wings are a part of his body and the cape has magical capacities, a bit like mentionned in smash. He can hide his wings in his cape
It’s so weird knowing that his up tilt and up air in Smash Bros are legitimate moves they pulled from the original Kirby’s Adventure and weren’t just random sword slashes Even his drill rush attack from Smash Bros that I thought was Smash original came from the spinning stab move that Kirby did in Amazing Mirror like 3 years before Meta Knight appeared in Smash
A certain abbreviation followed by two words would like to have a word with you. Hey, you claimed that there's no explanation, not that there's no _good_ explanation.
Ok I definitely remember the fact there's a another mecha knight but in my school vr game and it's called mecha knight Omicron and on its codex entery it was surpost to be morpho knight
I like how for the first bunch of games meta knight is evil and wants to murder you but after like, 2005 the developers said "Wait a second... I like you.... You're now my friend" and only made him possessed kn boss fights
Kirby and the magic yarn was one of my favorites even though the game wasn't intended to be a Kirby game but still I doubt they'll be bringing it to the Nintendo switch
One thing that confused me as a kid. In his boss battle in Epic Yarn he used his wings to fly Yet the whole reason Kirby couldn’t use his inhale was because he couldn’t capture any air in his body… So how is Meta Knight even flying right now?
Explain why kirby superstar ultra had sine of the coolest boss fight scenes like for king dedede it was an electric cage fight, and this one is like a speed chase threw a flying ship exploding
it just doesn't feel right to me how his moveset keeps increasing but the fights only get easier since super star. In amazing mirror's first fight he is slow. In squeak squad despite having elemental attacks he is as slow as he was in amazing mirror. And the platforms make it even easier. In epic yarn he spends most of his time flying around and it is just slower than his flight in super star. In robobot's first fight against mecha knight he is slow and has some attacks that don't fit into his moveset well. like the lasers and missiles, and in the second fight he is even slower bc of his claw attacks. In star allies he is slower, he takes like 3 whole seconds to recover from being stunned and the helpers just make an easy battle even easier, in phase 2 he is even slower with his weird purple energy orb attack that takes like a minute to charge up. And in forgotten land he spends a lot of time just recovering after attacking and most of his attacks can be avoided by just floating around. It's kind of weird how he is supposed to get stronger after each game but the battles only get easier.
It would of been better if all meta knight battles began with a Spanish guitar tune. For anyone who doesn’t understand why kirby right back at ya look it up
I don't like that half thepeople fighting Meta Knight in forgotten land just cheese the fight with gigant sword. When I get the game, I will fight him one on one with the normal sword, and then make it truly even by taking his sword. And don't call that unfair, he has a spare and can do just as much harm with it.
@@jefferyoneill1 Then why is it the normal sword on the ground? They would just make it whatever one is set. Also the sword clashing have kirby swinging it like a normal sword.

Give the puffball credit, he never stops improving.
The Dark heart definitely gave him an upgrade and so did becoming mechanized (even if he is still afraid of Susie)
The Rock thing has stayed but not the duplication.

I also like how his fight in some games isn't a repeated pattern but it's somewhat unpredictable
according to kirby super star ultra, before he fights galacta knight, he says his one wish is to become stronger
I've always loved that Meta Knight throws Kirby a sword. He REFUSES to fight Kirby on uneven ground in most cases. It was even a clue that Dark Meta Knight was an impostor.
Only Amazing mirror he didn't do it because the chest contain a massive ennemy
And when he is not himself
There is only star allies where he got the strength to give Kirby a Sword
And then there's Forgotten Land. Even in his phantom form, Meta Knight still does that.
I was stupid it was squick squad
You can deny the sword in forgotten land if you chose to

I was legitimately caught off guard by how FAST meta knight had become, especially in forgotten land
He was always fast, it's just gotten more noticeable over the years.
Okay. Let’s see how many meta knight flavors we got! We have… classic, dark, galacta, parallel, phantom, and morpho!

In Star Allies, you can comically anger Meta Knight into triggering an alternate intro animation if you refuse to get the sword for about 20 seconds or fly up to the platform that he stands on
Similar case to forgotten land where you can kick the sword away

Not to mention that he just left his Galaxia when the second phase was triggered.
He just took the old sword and kept fighting with it.

*drops Sword* "Pick it up."

Epic fact B)
Corrupt Meta knight never wields the actual Galaxia
Meta Knight too if you get Galaxia
I do look at robobot it’s a corrupt version of it but it still galaxia also star allies
Popular Opinion: Meta Knight is the true Tumblr Sexy Man. You guys just like skeletons more.
marx is more tumblr sexyman tbh. just because he’s a chaotic jester fella
Customer Service from the anime is literally the most Sexyman thing to ever come out of the Kirby franchise
