Shuttle Loop

Shuttle Loop is a move originally used by Wing Kirby in Kirby Super Star that has been incorporated into Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U as Meta Knight's up special move. Meta Knight leaps up into the air, slashing once, and loops around before flying up higher. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl this move automatically enters into Meta Knight's glide, while in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U the move ends with Meta Knight dealing a second attack.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U this move's custom variants are Blade Coaster and Lazy Shuttle. Blade Coaster moves mostly horizontally, while Lazy Shuttle does not deal the initial hit and increases the duration of the loop before Meta Knight flies up higher than the normal attack and dealing a single hit.
