The Kirby series mainstay is officially joining the battle.
Meta Knight will be a playable combatant in the forthcoming Super Smash Bros. games for Wii U and 3DS.
The longtime Kirby series mainstay’s inclusion was confirmed via today’s official Miiverse post by Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai. A Battleship Halberd stage reminiscent of Meta Knight’s home stage from his Brawl debut was also revealed.
The character’s controversial mechanics and abilities, which many saw as overpowered in his first Smash Bros. outing, have been tweaked. Sakurai gave this brief rundown of the some of the changes: “Meta Knight's Up Special Move, Shuttle Loop, changed quite a bit in this game. The glide is gone, and the attack slashes opponents twice while spinning in a large loop. This has turned into a highly technical and effective move.”
With Meta Knight’s inclusion, the roster for the new Smash Bros. games has grown to include 37 character slots. The Wii U and 3DS versions of the game will share the same character list, so those who need to know the full roster will likely get the complete list once the 3DS version hits Japan on September 13. The 3DS version will roll out in western territories on October 3, while the Wii U version currently has a vague Holiday 2014 release planned.
Can't wait to see the competinerds cry about him anyway
actually, I can't wait to see the competinerds cry about SSB4 not being an exact carbon-copy of Melee like they did with Brawl

lol, It's so funny when people get riled up that a competitive scene exists for Smash Bros.

Who's getting riled up? I just happen to enjoy watching nerd tears gush like waterfalls. You know, at those who'll gnash their teeth at Sakurai having the audacity to change anything from Melee, and wail that Smash Bros is now RUINED FOREVER (and still buy both SSB4 games anyway)
