Nice update =DD

Metaknight and Snake are the only confirmed characters(from day 1) that they have not bio-ed yet. WHY? Because they are unlockable.

I think that this storyline-Subspace Emmisary video- unlocks MetaKnight. He is not this 'type' of evil. He is an honorable warrior. His Halberd was probably stolen by the Minister, and you have to save him in the end / he comes to aid Kirby in battle.

 It took a while for Sakurai to give Zero Suit Samus a bio...

Don't worry, in the next 3 months, you'll see Meta Knight and Snake info...whether or not any of these characters are playable at the start or unlockable is still questionable.

@ben,

Think about it: He did Zamus after a while, yes. HOWEVER, he has revealed 3 new characters after that, instead of bio-ing the other 2 which we know are coming.

He is keeping them in the dark, because they will be unlockable. It could be that the story mode, new video, concerns MetaKnight. His ship could have been taken over by the Minister, and he is being held captive. Kirby is left to fight...

All signs point to Kirby related story.

I agree. and "if" Metaknight has the "Warning Challenger Approaching" message, then this means Diddy, Ike and Pokemon Trainer have to be unlocked too. and means that Wario and Pit are starter characters.

Or not....I'm only guessing. If he doesn't do the message for Metaknight and Snake. Then this means that he doesn't want to have this message displayed for newcomers confirmed last year...which means we will have no idea who will have to be unlocked.

It's pretty simple.


*****All characters that have been introduced in videos previously, such as ZSS, Meta Knight, Wario, Pit, Snake, Fox too...they don't have "Newcomer Approaching" on their bios because we knew about them already.

All characters revealed officially and first on the Dojo website, such as Ike, Pokemon Trainer, and Diddy Kong have "Newcomer Approaching" over their bios because...they're new! They've never before been announced, that's all.

"Newcomer Approaching" does not mean they will be unlockable, nor does it mean they'll be playable from the start. Those are unknown facts. ******

Snake and Meta Knight WILL receive their own bios, we've got 3 long months ahead of us, plenty of time for info on those two.

I say that unlockable characters will not get a bio before the game releases. I believe Snake and Metaknight will be unlockable.

I, too, believe Newcomer approaching does not mean unlockable.

DonWii I don't think that there are enough characters in the game for him to keep giving us at least 1 or 2 a week for the rest of the time without showing any unlockables.

There are, about, 12 weeks left until the release in Japan.

1 character of week, plus the 17(Zamus included, Metaknight and Snake not included) already bio-ed, would yield 29 characters.

I believe there will be, at least, 38-40 characters in Brawl. That would leave some 8-11 possible unlockable characters, 2 of which I believe will be MetaKnight and Snake.

I suppose, but there were only 14 of the 25 in melee initially available, and although I expect 35-40 characters, that seems like too high a percentage of the characters revealed.
