Win Condition Checklist

  • Rosalina and Luma should not play directly into Meta Knight’s Rapid Jab and Forward Smash; wait for Meta Knight’s Rapid Jab Finisher, Forward Tilt (1), and Forward Tilt (2) and answer with Up Smash (8f), OOS Uair (9f), Grab (10f), and OOS Nair (10f).
  • After Rosalina and Luma blocks Meta Knight’s Rapid Jab Finisher, Forward Tilt (1), and Forward Tilt (2), pick the reachable option from Up Smash (8f), OOS Uair (9f), Grab (10f), and OOS Nair (10f) immediately.
  • Rosalina and Luma should not mash after Meta Knight’s Rapid Jab and Forward Smash; take the landing route, escape route, or ledge route first.
  • Rosalina and Luma should finish stocks by breaking Meta Knight’s landing and recovery routes so Rapid Jab and Forward Smash does not get more neutral reps.

Actions to Avoid

  • Letting Meta Knight start the exchange on Rapid Jab and Forward Smash terms and giving Rosalina and Luma’s stage control away for free.
  • Having Rosalina and Luma block Meta Knight’s Rapid Jab Finisher, Forward Tilt (1), and Forward Tilt (2) but never answer with Up Smash (8f), OOS Uair (9f), Grab (10f), and OOS Nair (10f).
  • Sending Rosalina and Luma too deep after Meta Knight’s Rapid Jab and Forward Smash and letting the reset punish the chase back.
  • Panicking at the ledge as Rosalina and Luma and simplifying Meta Knight’s Rapid Jab and Forward Smash-driven advantage sequence.
