Meta Knight

OVERVIEW: Meta Knight is Kirby’s sometimes enemy, sometimes friend. He may seem like a lone wolf, but deep down, he cares for his friends and teammates. He wields a legendary sword called Galaxia, a sword forged by a legendary sword smith and imbued with magical properties. He is also the captain of the Halberd, an airship that he uses to defend the people of dreamland. Meta Knight has to be precise with his movements if you want to get good with this character. His speed allows him to gain compos at lower damage precents. He has multiple jumps but has pretty slow air mobility compared to other characters with more than two jumps. His sword allows him to have a more extended range compared to that of Kirby.
