You can do much more with 3.

These updates have been pretty disappointing lately.
Tomorrow or Friday has to be a megaton. I believe Friday is Miyamoto's birthday, and Sakurai has done major updates on other developer's birthdays.

Yeah 16th of November is his birthday so tomorrow. There's gotta be some major update coming soon!

Although there are still so many characers without special moves or smash ball updates. Zelda doesn't have any.

Todays update.
His attacks seem alright but i still think this update isnt that gd, just some more moves. I would like too see some specials!!!

I introduced some of Meta Knight’s special moves in a previous post entitled "Four Special Move Types".
But, since he has so many peculiar moves, I wanted to explain them again.

Standard Special Move: Mach Tornado

Suck them up!

Your inertia carries you left and right. Tap the button to rise up off the ground a bit.

Side Special Move: Drill Rush

Rush!!!

You spin like a drill, ploughing into people. You can also change your direction slightly.

Push your enemies up into the air!

Of course, you can push them down, too.

Up Special Move: Shuttle Loop

Rise up while launching your sword up...

You can also flutter through the air and glide.

This is a move you use to glide. It’s kind of like Kirby’s wing ability.

Down Special Move: Dimensional Cape

That familiar move from the trailer.

He wraps himself in his cape, disappears, and reappears with this move.

Tilt the stick to move the position where he’ll reappear!

If you’re pressing the attack button, you’ll unleash a surprise attack as you reappear!

Use the Dimensional Cape as a precursor to an attack. If you just can’t get the opportunity, then forget about attacking.

and some more music

"Kirby: Meta Knight’s Revenge" (1:22)

Composition Supervisor: Jun Ishikawa
Arrangement Supervisor: Noriyuki Iwadare

• Copyrights for this song are held by Nintendo and HAL Laboratory, Inc. • Check your volume settings. I was just thinking how it’s been more than ten years since I made this game...
It was in Kirby Super Star that Meta Knight rode out on the Battleship Halberd to try and conquer Dream Land. This is a jazz arrangement of the music from back then.
WELL? How do you like it?!
After going with the "serious touch" of the Halberd for the Kirby stage, I’m now thinking that maybe this overly peppy song is a little incongruous...

[Oni]

Tommorow = Miyamotos birthday and super mario galaxy release, cant wait!!!

[GommeInc]

You really shouldn't get too excited over the updates... If they told you all the good things you maybe disappointed when you actually get the game. There would be nothing to explore and find out. I'm happy with these 'small' updates, myself.

i like the betting thing

Even among Smash players, there are some people who just aren’t that good at action games. With that in mind, I’ve been thinking about how I can convey the fun of Smash to newcomers. I’ve been thinking about this type of thing since long before I joined this industry.
So, for this game, I’ve prepared a new kind of mode. It’s called Spectator, and you’ll find it in the With Anyone menu. If I had to describe it in a word, it would be "watching"!

You can enjoy watching matches between other people!

This mode is a service where Nintendo uses Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to send the data for games played between other people to every Smash household.
Match selection is handled automatically, and absolutely no names of any players can be seen. It feels like there’s a continuous broadcast of matches on your television! Even if you don’t play, you can enjoy the battles of other characters!
And at the beginning of each match, you can even bet coins on the character you think will win.

I’ll bet some coins. I’ve got a winner!

Glean what hints you can from the stages and combatants and try to deduce the winner.
Of course, if your pick wins, your coin count will increase! And the more players there are in a match, the higher the payout. There may even be extra prizes.

Even if you lose, you can get some stickers.

Just to make sure there’s no mistaking that just watching a match can be fun, we’ll be passing out stickers left and right.
For those of you who want to co-operate with our data collection for Spectator mode, set Allow Spectators to Yes in your Wi-Fi Options. This will result in your play data occasionally being sent to Nintendo.

This setting is in your Wi-Fi Options.

The content that is broadcast is the same for everyone in the same country (if your connection timing is the same), so it should be fun to have people in different environments watch and cheer the same match.
To be shocked by impressive play, or to bust a gut laughing at some accident will be quite fun! Perhaps you can use it as reference for your own matches.
Hopefully this mode is something that even people who aren’t good at games can enjoy.
