If they just slowed down his attacks a bit, maybe modified them to go slower and to not lead into combos as fast, and made him less fast and powerful overall, it wouldn't be too bad. And, what part of the SSB fanbase are you seeing? Majority of people I've seen love Meta Knight. I see absolutely zero reason why he's gonna be cut. If anything, characters like Lucas or Wolf who are semi-clones from Brawl and are part of franchises that aren't super relevant anymore are more likely to be cut.

Eh, the only characters who are definate cuts are Snake, Ivasaur, and Squirtle. The rest are fair game. Even the clones are likely to come back since Lucina is a newcomer clone and Toon Link is back.
