I totally guessed this as yesterday's update...so tomorrow will be a Pokemon or Assist Character maybe?

Update: Meta Knight

It's Meta Knight, whose introduction was delayed for some reason. He's Kirby's...rival?

Despite being almost all head, his mask and cape exude coolness. He overwhelms enemies with his mach-speed sword!

Pretty funny description. Weren't there conspiracists who claimed Sakurai would not make profiles for Meta Knight or Snake?

I remember a bunch of people thinking his lack of profile meant he was going to be a hidden character/NPC boss only etc, but that's about it.

Good to see one finally in any case. Only played one game he was ever in, but he's my favorite newcomer at the moment.

"Despite being almost all head,"

:)

my favorite newcomer would have to be pit... closely followed by charizard (or the pokemon trainer if you wish...) I just think charizard is the greatest thing haha... it sucks that he will run out of stamina and I will have to change him for those stupid water and grass pokemon... hehe

"All head" LoL. Sakurai says rival very carefully, so i guess he's not sided with the subspace army in this adventure.

I dropped the conspiracy on Meta Knight, since he was shown in so many screens.

Still standing ground on Snake.

Whoa, I just noticed the character model even shows the line in his gloves where they're sown together. Can't help loving how they mix extremely cute and simple character models with extremely detailed ones, or rather mix the two approaches with almost character.

Suh-weet.

Meta-Knight being on that "official-but-not-final" boxart made it seem less likely he was unlockable.

I love how Sakurai says "his introduction was delayed for some reason," and leaves it at that.

its about time.
