I don't like the armor on Metaknight's gloves, it looks too busy.

Olimar was announced right before Pikmin 3 came out and Diddy Kong was announced right before DKCTF. It's not crazy to think they would announce Ganondorf this week alongside Hyrule Warriors.

Oh wow, YoshiMan shares my birthday.

 

[JediLink]

Shuttle loop... nerfed? Let's hope.

 

[PsychBat!]

where is the video intro?

lol

 

[Tan]

Why are people surprised?

They're not surprised, they're just crazy.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I hope they nerf him more.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Glide is gone from the game. I guess I could be happy about that.

 

[Tripon]

Probably already seen, but Final Destination for the stages look really neat.

Edit: ....what's with the Final Destination for Battlefield?

 

[SliceSabre]

All hail Meta Knight!

THE CHAMPION HAS RETURN

 

[Dagobert Duck]

American site updated with a look at the 3DS version's Solo Mode

Also Basic Controls

And let's not forget "Stages 1"

Classic sounds cool if you ask me

 

[Deleted member 74300]

So it was worth not bailing out this time?

 

[Papercuts]

Curious to see any pictures of his moveset in the coming days to see how they changed him from brawl.

 

[exfatal]

He's taking too long its something epic! calling 2 pics
with detailed explanations for each

yea imma leave that here, goodnight smashgaf or faith was answered

 

[BuggyDClown]

Minus the cloves and his shoulder it looks like the exact same model.. or is it just me. I'm having a hard time seeing any improvements to the model.

Great to see him back though, big update tonight, lots of new content on the site. Game is getting real close everyone!

 

[Aβydoς]

Not bad, but it's not my most wanted veteran. I hope reveals keep coming all up to release date though.

 

[SuperSah]

THE BELIEVERS HAVE BEEN VINDICATED!

HE HAS ARRIVED!

YES.

YEEEEEEEEEESSSDSSS

Wii U.

3DS.

Render.

 

[OricWindstar]

Watch Sakurai just go "fuck it!" and reveal Ganondorf tomorrow.

 

[Choppasmith]

Nice update. Also in the stage update, I don't think Boxing Ring was ever confirmed for 3DS before.

dat 1080p goodness

 

[Het_Nkik]

XXL for you all.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I mean shuttle loop was already a "highly effective move". Since he says it hits twice they changed something I guess I dont know. Without the glide I'm guessing he goes straight into a helpless state after doing a loop.

Are you guys going to be surprised when they show Wario in the game or some other obvious ass character?

 

[Enforced]

Yay meta knight!

 

[Toxi]

Target Blast is Angry Broads

In Target Blast, players have a bomb that will explode 10 seconds after being hit. They must launch this bomb to destroy blocks and targets and score points.

Getting a good score depends on launching the bomb to areas rich with targets, getting the timing of the explosion just right, and using the explosive blocks found around the stage to maximum effect.

 

[sorakirosaki]

also the lucina image being the way it is seems to make more sense with this update lol at least for me anyway also woo metaknight

 

[Red Arremer]

It was, I think.
Edit: Yeah it definitely was.

Jesus christ we're not surprised we're just excited, surprise isnt the only emotion people.

 

[Pappasman]

Eh i wouldn't call his new up b a nerf until i've seen it. Every character except mac have shown the ability to recover from stupid distances in this game so i doubt that will be a problem for MK.

I don't see anyone surprised he's in. Just happy to see him regardless, he's a good character.

 

[Dr. Buni]

There is a picture of Meta Knight with Samus and other of Meta Knight with two Dragon-type Pokémon. Ridley confirmed?

Spoiler

Behold the power of straws grasping~

Yeah same here. I hope he'll give us some music samples.

 

[Ceravic]

I'm happy he's back and all, but can we at least get one Mother rep announced before launch? :/

 

[IntelliHeath]

Finally, the number of current roster matched up with numbers of Brawl's final roster. 39 CHARACTERS!

 

[Forkball]

I wonder who will be the next purple-winged Smash character.

 

[GreenLiquid]

Holy crap, compare

with

It looks like his armor actually visually sustains damage as he does :O

 

[El Sabroso]

I can be sure that there were 7 characters per row, now are 9 each row in the page so we got 45 slots in css at least

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

GAH! Metaknight ruined the site! Now Robin and Pacman are off centered from the rest of the newcomers!

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Well without the glide he probably won't be able to attack again after the up b. Assuming he goes straight into helpless state after it.

Call me crazy....but I think this update is telling us that were gonna see Veteran updates at a faster pace.

Meta chopped off Ridley's wings and is using them for himself.

Time to cut everyone else and just release the game.

Spoiler

We're getting a lot more characters.

Good find. I'm guessing they do. Little Mac had a band-aid on his face in a previous POTD

It stretches to your computer. Mine had 9 before this update and after it.

I hope you're right. I'm happy for everyone that loves Meta Knight though and glad to see him back. Just bums me out to go to the page and not see either of the boys there.

Nice! Sakurai got to implement it this time, i wonder if its implemented on captain falcon aswell.

 

[Hours Left]

I love that Sakurai confirmed the mask on Monday was a hint.

Always the master troll.

Oh yeah! My initial target was 45 characters, but it looks like 50+ is very possible at this point.
