hardly a reveal though is it, he was in Brawl.

When someone mentions a SSB reveal I at least expect it to be something new and original.

>>257687574
So is he getting nerved?

I can't wait for Smash autists to ban him in this game too

Don't you have a comic to end, Matthew?

lol this retard doesn't know what a reveal is

>>257690614
Literally blue Kirby behind the mask iirc. Not actually sure of his roles in the games, fake antagonist or something.

>>257690614
It would appear that he's just a blue Kirby without it.
You could say that no one even cared who he was until he put on the mask and crashed the Halberd with no survivors.

>>257692692
everyone evacuated

>>257692692
so are his wings glued on? they look like ridley's

>>257693056
If everyone evacuated, then there's nobody to survive the crash.
No survivors.

Those are nice gauntlets

They need to give Kirby an alt that looks like the same color as Meta Knight

>>257689637
Do those wings remind you of someone?

The entirety of Meta Knightmare would be like a fucking horror movie. You think you're a tough guy because you got a bigass ship and you just wipe the planet's biggest hero off your ship like it was nothing.
Then holy shit, he's back.
He then starts to fucking wreck everything and all you can do is throw more men at him until you battle fortress is just a smoking wreck in the ocean.

I wish they didn't. I know who you mean and I wish I didn't. I don't have much if any hope of him happening. I just want to see him already. I'd rather be 100% blown the fuck out than this.

>>257690491
>A veteran getting a announcement trailer to himself

What a idiot

I never liked the realistic look Sakurai gives Meta Knight. I wish he looked how he is in the new kirby games. But I'm probably just being autistic.

Never.

Y'all know Meta Knight is getting nerfed.

OPMETAKNIGHTFAGS BLOWN THE FUCK OUT

>>257688196
Only in the aspect that his shuttle loop doesn't go into a glide.

They also didn't reveal what his final smash is.

did this actually surprise anybody?

>>257698393
Yes, people actually thought Captain Falcon and Meta Knight would be cut.

I hope we get veteran reveals every week until release, with a newcomer trailer right before it comes out.

>>257698545
to be fair if he's as bad as he was in brawl they might as well just leave him out. no one wants to play a gimped super hero.

>looking at you link and samus. for shame

>>257698393
There were retards thinking that Yoshi was being cut.

There were retards thinking Captain Falcon was being cut.

There were retards thinking Metaknight would be cut.

There are currently retards out there believing that any character that has not been announced RIGHT THIS FUCKING SECOND has been cut.

Yes, those people honestly think Ness, Jigglypuff, Wario, Lucas, ROB, and Game and Watch, and landmaster trio are all cut.

>>257689637
He looks almost the exact same as he did in Brawl, I honestly think they just ported his old model over. The only differences are red lining on his shoulder pads and some scratches, the pointless gloves, and his wings are smoother.

Oh look

No, it's everyone. Playing against MK even casually wasn't fun or fair at all, he'd wreck you no matter who you played as. He was incredibly broken.

Dude... aside from the veins, they are slightly scaled down versions of this guy's wings.

I love mataknight, but I always thought his wings were blue, not purple.

it's almost like he ripped the wings off and attached them to Metaknight.

>>257699172

The gloves are cute, you know nothing.

>>257699017

So far, Shuttle Loop has been nerfed, plus he doesn't have that retarded good ledge game anymore.

It's the shuttle loop from Brawl, it just doesn't transition into a glide.

if it's nightmare in dreamland, that would explain why I didn't remember it since I haven't played that game for years.

>>257699624
>>257699624
It's not even a matter of skill, MK was just so broken it wasn't even funny. He was faster than almost anyone else and unlike Sonic he wasn't ass to compensate.

>>257699480
>So far, Shuttle Loop has been nerfed
Buffed, it hits twice now. He just doesn't glide.

>>257699857
i dunno, I'm kinda pleased.

Sakurai hasn't said "no characters glide anymore".

He stated Pit can't glide and MK shuttle loop doesn't transition into a glide.

>>257698215
Why would they? This is Smash 4, not that Project M garbage.

>>257699914
He's not broken.

>>257700010
>>257700010
From the thumbnail I'd honestly have thought it was a Brawl screenshot were it not for "Wii U" and Kirby's expression.

One thing that really bothers me

Sakurai mentioned him as a "Hero"

There foes the whole "Villains trailer"

>>257699738
I remembered Metaknight and Sword Kirby having a sword uppercut in the Kirby games when you pushed Up+A which is what this picture reminded me of.

Also his old Up+B move was a loop before gliding through the air.

>>257700036

For all we know we might as well call everybody whose currently confirmed but not playable at R"E3 to.be OP

>>257700109
he wasn't a villain in SSE

>>257700227
that was a regular frog hat

>>257700012

Just because it hits twice doesn't mean both hits do the same damage. Also, that glide was pretty damn good. It let him recover in some extremely outlandish ways.

>>257700058
He's so high-tier he has his own special ranking just for him.

>>257700109
Meta Knight was never a villain.

>>257699914

He's definitely absurd, but I didn't find him so bad in casual matches. Maybe that's because I played people worse than I was though.

>>257700346
He tried to kill Kirby.

See? Dark blue. The purples are coming up. Ridley, Mewtwo, Hades.

>>257700472
Kirby was being a faggot.

>>257698215

He has no flight time, Miiverse mentioned that.

Not to mention the gliding mechanic all together was removed.

>>257690731
LOOKS LIKE WARIO IS GOD TIER IN SMASH

>>257699151

>Sakurai

>>257700472
90% of the time that was to protect Dream Land and because Kirby was being an idiot and trying to break things.

In Revenge of Meta Knight he wanted people to stop being lazy, and Kirby blew up his entire ship. I'd be pretty mad too.

>>257700109
Meta knight was a villain only in one game, Superstar saga (I think that's the only game at least).
In all the other games he's a ally/rival of kirby

You know one thing I kinda want for Smash 4? Rival battles.

Part of classic mode. Maybe have a small SSE like cutscene before the battle similar to SSF4 (no talking) of two characters bumping into each other and deciding to fight.

Mario VS Sonic
Bowser VS Ganon
Pac-Man VS Game and Watch
Samus VS Little Mac
Rosalina VS Palutena
Villager VS Toon Link

Any others you can think of?

>>257700058
But he is. Infinite recovery, invincible stalling glitch, strong and fast smash attacks, priority out the ass, all his specials have use.

>>257700664
Examples? I only remember superstar.

>>257700837
How are any of those but Mario and Sonic rivals? A rival fight would be Luigi and waluigi or sonic and shadow

>>257700837
>Link Vs Pit

>>257701012
They can be kinda similar. Besides what the point in rivals being from same game series in a crossover?

>>257700837
Kratos vs Sweet Tooth

Kirby sucks. I don't know why anyone picks him.

>>257700837

Mega Man Vs. Captain Falcon, the battle for which is the deader franchise.

>>257701180

>>257701180
Because Kirby sucks.

>>257700898
I should have worded it differently, he rarely attacks Kirby with ill intent of his own free will.

Adventure/NiDL: Protecting a piece of the Star Rod, because once Kirby gets it he accidentally unleashes Nightmare, which is what Dedede and his cronies like MK were trying to prevent

Squeak Squad: Took the chest away from Kirby to prevent him from unleashing Dark Nebula

Epic Yarn: Possessed

Amazing Mirror: Wasn't even MK that fought Kirby, but Dark Meta Knight.

>>257700880
His recovery is really good but not infinite. His cape glitched is banned in most tournaments. His smashes are not that strong and they're punishable. His sword can't even block projectiles. And he's not the only character with all useful specials.

Just a quick reminder that if Mewtwo were to return, Mega evolutions would be the new Triple Landmasters

>>257700880

His smash attacks are generally one of his weaker areas outside of the down smash.

>>257701401
At least they'd behave differently though.

>>257701401
At least they wouldn't be literally the same thing.

>>257700012
>He just doesn't glide.
i.e: he cannot recuperate from every non-ko situation anymore.

>>257699172
>I honestly think they just ported his old model over
Nope, he looks much better and defined and his model has differences too like the plated gloves and the more detailed wings.

>>257687574
Honestly, Meta Knight is probably the one character I didn't care to see back in Smash.

I knew he was getting in, but I'm actually kinda glad that they revealed Meta Knight today cause I was curious how they changed him.
His shuttle loop's gliding got shitcanned and all continuous jabs now have a finisher at the end, so I think it's safe to say he's not as dangerous as in Brawl, but he'll still be good.
Waiting on Wario and Ganondorf, I'm curious as to what the fate of their movesets are.

He wasn't supposed to be evil in Super Star either. The translation fucked up his dialog to make him look more cruel. "Time to die, Kirby" was originally just "Now we duel."

Sure this was before his character was properly established but for some reason they even kept that translation in the DS remake.

I just realized that Ridleyfags got BTFO'd because Kirby will gain MK's wings after consuming him, meaning the same would hypothetically happen by consuming Ridley - and that can't happen because the wings look too much alike.

Metaknight's feet don't have to be that complex, nor do his gloves.

It's as though Sakurai is trying to hide the fact that Meta Knight is a blue puffball. He's making him sharper and angrier for some reason.

Meta Knight is just a literal edgelord version of Kirby who gets all flustered when you reveal his cute face.

Not being directed by Sakurai means nothing.

Dedede wasn't even a villain in all of the games Sakurai did direct. He's already plenty heroic in second game of the series.

You could say that Dedede is Kirby's rival of sorts, but he isn't a villain.

Because he's barely the poster boy for the entire series, the closest thing that FE has to a mascot is the Falchion, it's in every logo even if it's not ingame.

And I thought they were going to have Masked Lucina as "Marth", with the option for short or long hair, because it'd allow for representation of Lucina for those who played Awakening, and would also make people who didn't play awakening think that Marth hadn't been cut.

Galacta Knight isn't a villain, he's just portrayed as "the strongest warrior in the universe".
A villain would be Marx or Magolor. Galacta Knight is just a neutral powerful guy.

>>257706931
Yeah fair enough, still don't have high expectations for this one though, high hopes yeah but it still looks like Brawl 2.

>>257706839
Just because a series has a new game doesn't mean that older characters stopped existing. If we were to replace characters left and right, we would be trivializing them, and turning them into commodities. Ike and Marth didn't stop being good characters all of a sudden (and Awakening's weren't particularly interesting either).

>>257706945
Dude Galacta Knight would literally just be a clone of Meta Knight.

I'm not really pushing for the Dee since I don't think he's got a chance and Kirby is well represented as it is, but at least he's be something different.

Then again Fire Emblem's got four characters so who knows. Still think Galacta Knight is a lame choice

I'm really happy with the way Meta Knight looks this time around. Those gauntlets are a nice touch. My most wanted newcomers are pretty much guaranteed to get BTFO so at this point I'm just hyped to see how the veterans look.

Can you really blame him? Meta-knight has to deal with Kirby, who manages to release the ancient evil of the week, and lazy King Dedede.

For fuck's sake, one of Super Star's stories had the plot of him trying to take over Dream Land, not because he was evil, but because he was tired of everyone sitting on their asses doing nothing all day.

Not to mention he releases the Universe's strongest warrior so he can fight him.

I came here to remind you guys that:

1. Toon Link is back with little to no differences to the way he played in Brawl. He even has the same goddamn Final Smash.

2. Lucina is literally a Female Marth in her playstyle.

If those two are in Smash 4, I see no reason why Lucas would be cut if they're allowed to be in.

>B-But no one knows who he is outside of Japan!

No one knew who Marth was either, but look at how he's been in 3 Smash games in a row so far.

>B-But Lucas is a Ness clone!

The only thing they share is 3 Specials, and even then there's a difference between them. They have completely different Smash Attacks and aerial games.

Also, when has "x is a clone!" ever proven to be a good argument?

>>257707205
>>257707443
No he's not. Veterans are characters who have returned from a previous installment of a SSB game, not ones who have appeared in a previous game before.

Mewtwo is not a veteran.
Roy is not a veteran.
Dr. Mario is not a veteran.

Lucas is not a veteran.

Lucario is a veteran.
Ike is a veteran.
Mario is a veteran.

Ness is a veteran.

>>257707229
>unless the character is a veteran
Reading sure is hard.
>Toon Link and Lucina say hi
Toon Link has other differences besides moveset to set him apart from Link, and he's relevant. Lucina's entire sword works differently and she's also relevant.
>Japan didn't know who Little Mac was, do you honestly think that matters?
They do, and I do think it matters especially considering Mother 3 was only released in Japan.
>You could say the same thing for everyone
Not really, almost everyone else I saw used online and in tournaments. Lucas was the one I saw the least, by far.

>Lucas won't get cut
You are in for a rude awakening.

>>257707443
>in the absolute loosest sense of the term.
This works against him. Unlike Lucina, who was made by interns in three days because she was so similar, Lucas would require more effort but he's not different enough to NOT be considered a clone either.

>They also don't like Punch-Out
Punch Out was released globally.

>who cares
Sakurai, because he said he doesn't want to cut many characters because people will be upset. Since no one played as Lucas, less people will be upset if he's cut.

>>257707562
The only logical Kirby newcomers choices are: Bandana Dee (most relevant/recurring after the trio, unique moveset) and Magolor (popularity and relevance to the series, high moveset potential.)
That being said, there's a high chance we won't get a Kirby newcomer. Sakurai cares more about Kid Icarus than he does about Kirby nowadays.

See >>257706672

>No one knew who Marth was either, but look at how he's been in 3 Smash games in a row so far.
Marth is the face of his series and has appeared in four Fire Emblem games excluding Awakening, more than any other lord. Lucas has appeared in one and is not the face of his series; that would be Ness.


>The only thing they share is 3 Specials, and even then there's a difference between them. They have completely different Smash Attacks and aerial games.
Exactly. The whole reason Sakurai had so many clones in Melee and implemented Lucina is because they took no time to do at all and they didn't really take a slot from anyone. Lucas would take more effort than a regular clone would but isn't fully unique either, making him not unlikely to be cut.

>Also, when has "x is a clone!" ever proven to be a good argument?
Many times, actually. Roy, Dr. Mario, Mewtwo, Snake, etc.

Face it, he's not coming back.

>>257707990
He was relevant. Mother 3 came out.
>But Brawl was two years after Mother 3!
You forget that it was supposed to launch in 2007 according to the original schedule, making it only one year later when he was thought up of.

Mewtwo has fought in one game, making him a veteran of the series. Surely he won't be cut :^)

>>257707791
>No he's not. Veterans are characters who have returned from a previous installment of a SSB game, not ones who have appeared in a previous game before.

how were shiek and pokemon trainer relevant then

shiek had one appearance and hadn't appeared for 3 main zelda games across 3 consoles, and the gen 1 remakes were already 4 years old with 4th gen having been out for a year

>getting cut when Sakurai planned him since fucking Melee to replace Ness
Sakurai only wanted that because Mother 3 was supposed to come out over a decade ago and Lucas WOULD HAVE BEEN RELEVANT. He was only added because of it, and now that he's not relevant Sakurai has no reason to put him in again. Ness was kept because he was a veteran/one of the original twelve.

There's almost nothing going to support Lucas' return.

He doesn't have a fully unique moveset, yet he isn't 100% a clone.
He is not relevant.
He is not yet a veteran, making him less certain.
Few people played as him in Brawl.
Mother 3 only released in one country, and the people there didn't especially like it.

>>257708510
No, not to me. Veteran in the context of the SSB series means a character who has returned from a previous installment. Even Sakurai thinks this way, you'll never hear him refer to Roy, Mewtwo, or Dr. Mario as veterans.

>>257708535
I'm not saying he isn't a clone, I'm just saying there are things to set him apart that aren't strictly related to moveset. Lucas doesn't really have much of that, he and Ness are the same height.

Most of Awakening's marketing focused on the fact that "Marth" was going to be playable in a new game.

45 characters... Would be lame to me.
But oh well, I don't care as long as we got Shulk.

That's because you'll never hear him referto them at all, not because of your made up rule.

Nintendo isn't balancing it, Namco is.

We already knew he'd be in. He was spoiled back before the game was even made.

>how were shiek and pokemon trainer relevant then
Shiek was included to flesh out Zelda in Melee, and OOT was her last real appearance at the time it was released.

The gen I remakes were a little older than normal, but they hadn't gotten representation yet and the gen I starters were pretty popular. Also, it's fucking Pokemon. That's not even close to the same situation as Lucas and you know it.

>>257708973
Shulk is 100% guaranteed, this has nothing to do with Gematsu but I'm basing this on cetain comments his VA made and how Monolith Soft is the only first party of Nintendo to NOT have a rep in SSB yet, and also Xenoblade's success.
King K. Rool seems likely what with the Kremlings in and all.
We're getting a Rhythm Heaven rep, though it may or may not be Chorus Kid.

Other additions I wouldn't rule out are Bandanna Dee, to keep with the theme of Sakurai adding reps to IPs that are already adequately represented, Isaac, as he hasn't been deconfirmed yet and got a new game after Brawl, a token retro rep like Mach Rider, and I don't know who else.
