You come back from a 2 years hiatus just to post a MK VS Shadow thread?

Anyways, Shadow might have an AP advantage here and he should likely lead up with Chaos Control on the start, I dunno about Meta Knight.

AP advantage over Kirby 4-As?

Nahhhhh

 

[ShakeResounding]

AP advantage over Kirby 4-As?

Nahhhhh

This is Pre-Star Allies, so it's probably true considering Super Forms heavily upscale from the Final Egg Blaster. Even a basic 2x multiplier would already put them near 1 ZettaFoe, but the Chaos Emeralds' power was deemed "unimaginable" so it's likely way more than that.

Granted, I don't think this is gonna be an AP match anyways.

 

[JJSliderman]

Well since this pre-Star Allies that throws Friend Hearts out the window.
I’m gonna guess Shadow’s doing the usual time stop+space manip/Chaos Rift strategy

Yes, Shadow is using his infamous combat strategy, spamming his chaos powers in a basis.

 

[JED]

Actually looking at Meta Knight’s profile, he resists EE, so that wouldn’t work. But Shadow still has all his other powers such as Chaos Blast (which would lower MK’s already inferior AP even lower), and Chaos Spear (dura neg), so he would overwhelm MK regardless. So voting Shadow.

what can meta knight even do here

 

[Gabs22_Gamer]

what can meta knight even do here

He can neg dura via Tornado Slash and some other tecnhiques.

 

[sanicspood]

hm ima wait for some kirby supporters before i vote

 

[Gilad_Hyperstar]

Leaning toward Shadow here, but I'll also wait for Kirby supporters

 

[Arceus0x]

I feel like MK really doesn't have much to do here unless he is in the latter key. He has no advantages, no win cons. Shadow's first moves will eviscerate him.

This is a stomp unless we use the second key.

Tornado Slash is valid tho.

 

[Arceus0x]

AH YES, tornado slash with dura negation which idek where it came from is gonna help when your opponent leads with time stop and a kick that is >10x your ap

 

[Arceus0x]

I overblew the AP difference a bit but either way shadow would be above him.

 

[Lord_JJJ]

I was not expecting to see Sonic characters becoming that high into 4-A after they where pretty much low AP wise in 4-A
With Shadow starting with time stop that seems to be a stomp

 

[Gabs22_Gamer]

With Shadow starting with time stop that seems to be a stomp

For the record, it actually isn't.

 

[DaReaperMan]

Shadow starts with Time Stop and has a good AP advantage to one to three-shot

Meta Knights only "wincon" is using an ability he doesn't start with

This is stomp.

 

[Gabs22_Gamer]

This is stomp.

Actually the Tornado Slash is some kind of technique that Meta Knight apparently starts by using the Galaxia Sword, and the AP advantage is just 10x from here.

??? Kirby 4-A is borderline 3-C wut?

 

[Gilad_Hyperstar]

Only Post Star Allies is that

AP advantage greats than 7.5x is a one-shot

 

[Gilad_Hyperstar]

Yeah this might be a stomp

 

[DaReaperMan]

Yeah, aka not something he starts with and is dead before it matter

 

[Gabs22_Gamer]

It's still a valid sort of wincon tbh, even if the possibility of it happening is small as shit.

 

[sanicspood]

i heard that is still stompish

Meta Knight is dead before he uses it.he starts with swordplay.
