Meta Knight is not specificially on any side like the anime, where he's clearly on Kirby's side despite some clouded motives. In the games, Kirby has been capable of intelligent thought (at least manuals have hinted so), and isn't a baby. Poster above is correct, Star Warriors are nonexistant, as are the Star Soldiers, in the games. The fact that Meta Knight always flees when his mask is broken in battle with Kirby gives credibility to this particular theory. If Kirby were to realize that they were of the same race, it might detract from Meta Knight's air of authority as Kirby's teacher. It is likely that he also desires to keep his identity secret from Kirby. Conscious of his "soft" appearance, it is possible that he wouldn't want to give his allies the wrong impression he wouldn't want to be written off based on his appearance alone. Star Warriors fought with the Galaxy Soldier Army, which gives rise to the implicature that it is comprised of multiple races fighting under a common banner. Why does he wear a mask? I think a lot of good reasons have already been mentioned. His personality and ideology reflect that he values discipline, training, and practice (as opposed to assimilation by copy), so I'd assume he trained in swordsmanship the old-fashioned way. I'm not really a fan of that theory, though, I'm more inclined to think that Meta Knight relies on himself and two powerful pieces of equipment - his sword and his cape - and his wits alone. Going with the theory that all Star Warriors can copy, one could assume that he acquired the sword ability and obtained his swordsmanship skills from that. Meta Knight did not use a copy ability to obtain his sword, Galaxia, since it is considered a legendary piece of equipment and he went through great lengths to physically obtain it. This would also explain why Meta Knight can't. Because of Meta Knight's existence as a fellow member of Kirby's race, it's likely that a "normal" star warrior was tampered with to obtain the unique ability to copy. However, it is known that Kirby is technically a bio-weapon: he was "created" for a specific, sinister purpose (though it was regarded as a "failure"). It's feasible that they do and choose their favorite power to assimilate permanently as a "coming of age" sort of thing. It isn't known whether or not all Star Warriors possess the ability to copy early in their lives. Kirby is very young, while Meta Knight is clearly an adult. Meta Knight and Kirby are the both Star Warriors. I've oft pondered it, and came to a few conclusions on my own: Because of this, much of it is nebulous guess-work. Kirby lore is possibly one of the least complete out of all of Nintendo's franchises (maybe only in contention with Mario lore).
