		+	===General Movement with Meta Knight===
		+	*Meta Knight runs much faster than he can move in the air.
		+	**Unlike Kirby, Meta Knight will continue to run if he hits a wall in mid-air
		+	**If you attack or receive damage, you will no longer be running, whether you do so on the ground or in the air.
		+	*Meta Knight's slide attack saves time in two cases, under the assumption that jumping is not possible for some reason:
		+	**If you need to destroy a line of blocks
		+	**If you need to destroy a couple blocks/enemies and you will fall off a ledge before the slide attack stops
		+	*Meta Knight slows down horizontally when you flap his wings. Only do so when necessary.
		+	*Attacking in the air will briefly lock your vertical speed.
		+	**This can allow you to jump higher and/or farther
		+	*Flapping Meta Knight's wings is faster than climbing a ladder.
		+	*Falling is faster than descending a ladder.
		+	*Meta Knight's Sword Dive (Down + B in the air or water) is the fastest way to fall.
		+	**You can move slightly to the left or right while falling.
		+	**You can cancel the Sword Dive with B after falling a certain distance (approximately 4 blocks. Exact distance is currently unknown).
		+	*Swimming
		+	**Meta Knight can descend faster by holding Down.
		+	***For long, vertical drops, use a Sword Dive for an even faster descent.
		+	**To ascent, do NOT hold Up. Hold Left or Right and press A repeatedly.
		+	*In the air, the fastest way to turn around is to hit a wall and immediately hold the opposite direction.
		+	**When no wall is there, hold the desired direction without flapping Meta Knight's wings until you start to move in that direction.
		+	*There is hitlag when you damage or kill an enemy or destroy a block. Avoid doing so when possible.
		+	**Note that during this hitlag, no inputs will be acknowledged, so account for this in precise strategies.

 *You move faster in the air than on the ground. If you can jump without messing other things up, it saves time over simply running the same distance.
 *Kirby can slide with Down+(A/B). Kirby is much faster during this slide than while running. Unfortunately, there is a fairly large period of time after the slide where you are not moving, negating any saved time.

 **If you need to attack upwards, press and hold Up, then wait until Kirby finishes his stroke to press B. You will continue to move while attacking instead of coming to a stop and sinking.
 **When leaving the water, hold A to jump out, or hold Up to float out. Both are used in runs, although jumping out is generally faster.
