Challenge MKDH Special: Meta Knight is not broken

Pit (MKDH, no B) and Olimar (L7 CPU) VS Meta Knight (L9 CPU) * 2

Olimar tries to find a decent way to beat arrow spam, certainly one that does not require RIDICULOUS SPEED, but two dark Meta Knights, who have taken on his form and abilities because people think he's broken and banworthy, try to attack him and he is stuck trying to protect Pikmin. Luckily, Pit himself is around. He decides to fight the DMKs hand-to-hand in case his arrows get evaded and hit the Pikmin, and without the sacred treasures so that one of them can escape if need be. Can these two prevail against the popular opinion and prove that it's not always right?

I'm not doing this to prove that the San Francisco Bay Area doesn't deserve to be called the "Yay Area", or that shallow girls shouldn't say "wanna suck my pee" just to mock me. I'm doing this to prove that a challenge I assigned to Ephraim225 and a couple of other people is possible. I am tired of people thinking Meta Knight deserves to be banned far more than Pit's stupid arrow spam deserves. Meta Knight doesn't even have a projectile, his B moves ALL make him helpless, and then when he gets smacked around, he will get minimal time at most to adapt because his low weight and high falling speed will guarantee he'll be dead. Good players will cover those problems? You can say that about pretty much any character.

Here's the challenge in case you're wondering, which can be done Solo or Co-Op, on two different difficulty levels:

*Match: 3 stock, no time limit
*Human character(s): Pit (for both players in Co-Op too)
*CPU characters: Olimar (ally, L7), Meta Knight (both enemies, teamed, L9)
*Handicap (both you and your ally): 50% for Normal Solo, 80% for Hard Solo or Normal Co-Op, 100% for Hard Co-Op
*Stage: Battlefield
*No items, as usual
*Special Condition: B moves are banned for human players. Don't worry, however; Pit's only punished harshly by B banning mainly because of a couple of CPU-destroying tactics. And you don't need BOTH members of your team to survive (yourself or the CPU Olimar/other Pit). You just need to beat the two Meta Knights, which under the restrictions should prove Meta Knight to not be broken.
*Recommended for viewers, if optional: Damage gauge off, Hard difficulty, record both Solo and Co-Op.

B ban is to prevent arrow spam, which is MORE broken than Meta Knight is, though arguably not Game & Watch (who....be glad he's not your opponent, he can kill you in one hit with certan attacks--he is CLEARLY poorly balanced because the AI uses, and is even a bit fond of, frickin' Chef). It also prevents flying under the stage, which itself can be an offender in making Pit overpowered, though nowhere near as bad as the arrows. You do have to watch out with Pit's substandard melee range, but it's still workable.

The L7 CPU Olimar is to prevent excess mob abuse, while making sure that the human player will end up responsible for beating the two Meta Knights.

And the higher Co-Op handicaps is to account for the two players being humans who can just isolate the individual Meta Knights.

Oh yeah. When I was trying to take this because I didn't when issuing the challenge, I swear the AI difficulty must have jumped as if it wasn't high enough. But mob tactics a broken character does not make. They're just dangerous tactics that you will only need to fear in team battles when your ally is an incompetent enough moron like L7 CPUs are.

this is unrealated but is marth cheap he is good againt every char lol self explanatory

[MasterKnightDH]

Marth isn't cheap. His lack of projectiles lead me to defeating YoshSSB's Marth with my Ness. (Granted, I wasn't "deathgrabbed", but he did use the grab release idiocy to his advantage.) YoshSSB defeated my Ness with plenty of the other characters he used too.

The fact of Metaknight being broken differs from each player. Some would say that he's just as good as Marth, Sheik, Peach, etc., others would say he's broken all b/c of the Dimensional Cape glitch on Final Destination (of which people are now finding it to work on other stages as well). MK's weaknesses are all his B moves counting as recoveries and no powerful launch attacks. I played a lot of MKs online. They're really good, but not unbeatable...very close matches.

(cont. to next comment)

[MasterKnightDH]

Meta Knight's Down Smash can kill, especially on the back hit. However, he still has no projectiles.

By the way, people think Meta Knight is broken without the infinite Dimensional Cape.

[jamesbond7477]

@Ultimatethinker721 all of meta knights moves can launch. (up smash doesnt do much unless opponent has high damage up to 90-100) i can whoop meta knight easily meta knight is the easiest character to beat and to use just like sonic.

[Jaricko]

Other then the dimensional cape I only see meta knight as an extreamly well designed character. His advantages are speed and well chained attacks at the cost of high damage attacks, ranged attacks and heavy knockback.

[Ultimatethinker721]

Oh...I thought "broken" meant the character was glitchy. Then again, knowing how laggy SSBB online can get, MK would've probably had more of an upper hand offline. I don't really mind MK at all. Broken or not, MK is still a playable character. I just play SSBB mainly for fun (the way the game was meant to be played). One thing that helps me overcome MK sometimes is to watch pro MK players (kind of like rreconaissance) and find ways to dodge their combos and such. :)

Well what can I say?

The only real way to deal with a troll is to find an arguement that forces them to STFU, banishment stopped working on them the moment one of them learned how to make multiple accounts.

Nice song, I lost count of how many times I've rewound this to the start just to listen to it.

[MasterKnightDH]

Thanks for mocking out johnnyjohns with your sarcasm. He's nothing but a troll. Shuttle Loop gimp? How are you going to gimp me if I'm on the stage where you can't? WTF?

[Threadnaught]

*takes out brain* I agree with johnnyjohns, I mean if 3 people can use the same character and beat a fourth person playing as any other character, then that character must be broken using this same logic Olimar and Jigglypuff my two worst characters are also broken, so are all the other 32 characters.

In fact every character in every game where it's possible to play with at least 3 players is broken using that *bleep*ing retarded logic.
