What makes Metaknight so powerful?

Question

I was watching a stream and one of the announcers offhandedly said "Metaknight is banned" as if that is a foregone conclusion. I have never seen Metaknight do much of anything, but then, I'm hardly a professional Brawl player.

What is it about Metaknight that makes him so much more powerful than the other characters that the community resorted to banning him in competitive play?

Answer

From Smash Wiki:

He currently ranks first on the Smash Bros. tier list due to his extremely fast attack speed, his transcending priority found in a lot of his attacks (also found in lasers and needles), unpredictable recovery thanks to four recovery moves and Kirby's jumping prowess, ability to avoid being KO'd with his extremely fast up air momentum cancel, amazing edgeguarding ability, approach options, some fast and reliable killing moves, and amazing tournament results and match-ups. No match-up is thought to be a disadvantage for Meta Knight, although some matchups are approximately even.

His main problem is that he doesn't have any weaknesses.
