==Overview==
'''Drill Rush''' (formerly named the "'''Triple Dash'''") is the name of [[Meta Knight (SSBB)|Meta Knight's]] [[Forward B]] attack. Seen in this screen shot and several times in videos posted outside the [[Smash_Bros._DOJO!!|Dojo]], Meta Knight leaps sideways with his blade outstretched. If he hits an enemy, he performs a combination lasting up to a good 2 seconds, knocking your opponent upward. Also, when finished, he pulls back a bit. Meta Knight can also change the course of the attack, as he is shown using the same attack upward, allowing it to be used as a recovery. After using the attack, Meta Knight becomes [[helpless]]. It is possible to cancel the ending lag of the attack by making the end hit the edge, allowing it to be virtually lag free, and allowing it to be used to rush opponents in such stages as Battlefield. This is known as Drill Rush Canceling.
