@Ben,

Not that it matters much, since we are on page 50, but you haven't updated the front info page in a while.

Any guesses? Metroid level?



Update: Gliding

Characters like Pit, Meta Knight and the Pokémon Trainer’s Charizard are envied at first glance for their wings.

Rumor has it they can use those wings to sail through sky like gliders. But that can’t be true, can it?


They... They’re really flying!

Magnificent!

From the perspective of the rules of Smash, I sense that mastering this skill could be quite beneficial. That is, IF you can master it...


First, do a midair jump!


If you continue holding the jump button, you’ll start gliding.

You don’t have to hold down the jump button, though. At the peak of your midair jump, you can also rapidly tilt the Control Stick backward to forward to link the jump to a glide.


Tilt the stick down (or forward) to angle down.


Tilt the stick up (or back) to aim high.

Since it’s glider-style flight, you fly based on how you’re angled. You can control both your angle and your speed by pitching your "nose" up or down.

 
You can’t change direction, though, so be careful!

If you stall out in midair or get attacked, your flight will get cancelled.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Hey, it'll be useful for recovery and fleeing.



See Ya George.

At least following a comedians own jokes makes his death easier.

Since you can't change direction I wouldn't recomend this for fleeing. :P

You... often flee towards what's attacking you?

Pretty cool feature. Also, I've given up on trying to guess what Sakurai's gonna update next hehe...everything's so random.

 No, but any chance of fleeing towards a pit, not down it, is out of question.



I wonder if Peach will still have her hover jump.

 Ironically, you do.  Everything you try to get back on after been knocked off the edge.  I guess you'll have to try to fly high enough over the attracker so they can't knock you down again. Unlikely. 

Nice to see it added, and well balanced.  It doesn't appear to give any edge over a double jump or jump, up attack, or Kirbys fluttering.  Unless you can glide and shoot....
