I'm guessing it's like Fire Fox, except you can control how much it charges, which may make it a little better for getting back if your opponent is camping the ledge. Won't save him from any needle abuse, unfortunately...

Might work like Wings of Icarus more than Fire Fox.
I still think Diddy's going to be a cool character. Though I do like the touch of originality and hilarity that comes with your special attacks having a chance to backfire, there's just something of having your Rocketbarrel Packs falling off mid-flight when you're trying to recover that leaves me with an ill taste in my mouth.
The Peanut Popgun is ok though. I had thought it was going to be rapid-fire like Fox's Blaster, but this version seems more original. My only real concern with it is that if the shell breaks and releases an edible peanut, the opponent will most likely get it before you (unless the peanut in question flies to the other side of the map somehow once released).
I really dont see what's so bad about them. His guns only blow up on him if you charge it too long, kinda like how you hurt yourself if you charge Roy's Blade. And your jetpacks only fall off if you get hit. From what I'm guessing, his recovery will be pretty darn good if you charge them up so it's just a way of balancing out the system. You lose your recovery (shortly) when you get hit as any character, not just Diddy, anyways.
But it was a dull update.
Oh yes, and Metaknight. He had to be confirmed eventually, but considering the fact that we already knew about him and his moves prior to this update, it doesn't really excite me.Smash Bros. DOJO!! said:
But hey, Metaknight himself is cool, and that's good enough.
Kinda lame that they added Metaknight... it makes me wonder if he'll still be an unlockable character (unless that's already been confirmed and I'm just a dumbass).
The "concept" boxart is sort of want... it looks nice but it sort of doesn't get the "we're all fucking in this game, and we're all fucking FIGHTING!" vibe.

I know I missed the Nintendo World trailer, but what is this crawling mechanic?
EDIT: Yay for google!

Assuming it is what I think it is, shows the demo movie from Japan. Shows Snake + crawling.
One could interpret that as, "If you get attacked while riding your Rocketbarrel Blast, your jump will be cancelled...and sometimes your barrels will even fall off and go flying away on their own!"
Which of course means it only falls off on occasional HITS (falling off = it acts as an item) as opposed to just randomly.
As to Metaknight, cool as he is, that was a really bland update. We've been given more information on him than most characters already; this update was really just a formality and brought nothing new to the table.
Except for the last screenshot. Is he about to do his up-B there? He's got a Fire Fox-lookin' ring around him. Does that mean he'll have a small charge-up period sort of like Fox?
That's what I was thinking when I saw that. If it is, it hopefully will be a bit shorter in charge-time than fox's.
I hope we get a better update in the next two days, I've been kind of disappointed this week thus far.
It's the placeholder art. GameCrazy and eStarland have it up on their websites.
That was over yesterday night (Japan, September 5th).
- new DS colour for Japan (black/red that we have in Brain Age 2 bundle)
- Mario Galaxy Japanese release date
- Mario Party DS Japanese release date
- ASH Japanese release date
- Literature Collection DS announced (Japan)
Super Mario Galaxy will be released across the world on the same week btw.
Across the world? Europe?
The fourth screen looks like meta knight is landing from something. Well, imo. The first looks like a taunt, which is meh. They gave him such a generic ftilt, too (it looks like an ftilt, anyway). Well, hopefully it'll have good knockback, and can be used for edgeguarding.
if this means Meta Knight is a starting character, I think it makes the chances of Dedede being an unlockable a little bit greater.
Counter-argument is that now because Bosses have been revealed, chances of Dedede being one of them is just as great. But let's not divulge into that.
Anyone else miss Sonuis?
I really think you should look at the polls and maybe the creator the Kirby series.
Anyway nice to see Metaknight updated as last..
Oh, I'm still here. I'm just sick of seeing people ignore the very long post at the beginning of this topic. That's why I'm not posting as much. So, until people realize that characters already revealed on the Website will be openers, I'm not going to be so active. Not to mention that people are starting to theorize what characters will be in it again. So pisses me off when people talk about that.
Though, I do like the update with Meta Knight's profile.
Though, this picture is just rad. That's right, I said rad! RAD! It's cool enough he's attacking, but the fact that the colors look like Saturn's rings after his swipe so fit the stage. The jumping one is good too, but not like this. Also, stitching.
