Since its not one of his actual moves under normal circumstances, and the character itself is not broken without this. The tech will be banned, not Meta Knight. Banning a character is ALWAYS a last resort in competitive fighting games.
Start up lag? Its far faster then it looks, and can be done out of a shield nonpunishable by a good portion of the cast under the right circumstance. This has been tested.
Can not use to get away from someone in attack range? It can be done mid air then thrown into the ground to extend it. This has been tested.
I've Down-Bed you normally within attack distance, so you obviously do not have to be safe to start this. Mind games is the name of the game.
Missing does not mean its a flaw, it means you missed. EVERYTHING can be punished if you miss with it. Even Fox's jab can be punished under the right circumstance.
Meta Knight will almost certainly never be banned. This technique will be, just as wobbling was banned and certain stall tactics were limited. If you want to be removed due to 1 technique being banned, then that is by far the stupidest reason for quitting something I have EVER heard. YOU don't even need this.
I am not alone in my opinion here, the vast majority of the community sees what will happen to the community if this is left legal. It NEEDS to be banned just like Wobbling did. If by some retarded reason this is left legal, the competitive brawl community WILL be degraded to Meta Knight Vs. Meta Knight and then it will die. The community is in bad enough shape as is.
