Interesting, Meta Knight judged as he landed, Sword Beam was usually a good trump card. To block it marked Amaterasu as an opponent more than worthy of his respect.

But he couldn't dwell on thought for too long, not in the heat of battle. This time the beads hit, unable to get back into position quite fast enough to block from his fall toward the ground. Meta Knight let out an audible grunt as the beads made contact, skidding back with the impact.

"Impressive," he commented, but certainly wasn't merely standing around for more punishment. Meta Knight made a move to bat away the beads away again with a flick of his sword.
