Meta Knight is a recurring character from the Kirby series. He first appeared in Kirby's Adventure and its remake Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland as the boss of Orange Ocean, and later in Kirby Super Star as the main antagonist and final boss of the sub-game Revenge of Meta Knight. He has since gone on to become both a recurring boss and playable character.
Meta Knight is a skilled swordsman and the leader of the Meta-Knights. He physically resembles Kirby and is strongly implied to be of the same species as him, but he keeps his true appearance a closely guarded secret, and will often flee if his mask is ever inadvertently dropped or taken off. Meta Knight's true intentions are shrouded in mystery, often taking on a "friend or foe" role: acting as an antagonistic force to Kirby at times while serving as an ally in others. Despite instances where he serves as an antagonist force, Meta Knight appears to have his own code of honor, as he will always offer a sword to Kirby before engaging him in combat just so the two can fight on equal terms.
In M.U.G.E.N, Meta Knight has been created various times by different authors. Most versions use sprites from the Kirby games, though Claymizer's Meta Knight uses custom ones.
Claymizer's version[]
This custom-sprited version of Meta Knight is heavily inspired by its Super Smash Bros. Brawl counterpart, although it might be a little too heavily inspired, as its attack speed is blindingly fast to the point that the character feels less combo heavy and more spam happy, which would easily qualify it for M.U.G.E.N's SS tier.
S.Nara's version[]
Its photo-shot sprites may give away who made it, but this is one incredibly odd version of Meta Knight. Its lack of balance and power reliance as well as its abundance of infinites will cause not just weak pathetic fools to bow down, but also those looking for quality creations.
