Crap...it better not be Meta Knight...I don't care for Meta Knight...

It better be Samus or Snake.

SSSSSNNAAAAAAKKEE

 wow....

is that pattern just after samus though?

After Dr. Wright maybe Nintendo will give us tons of crazy assist trophies. Its been too long since Nintendo made a game with Soda Popinski in it.

I just checked and yes before samus the dates were random. It could be a coincidence.... but i doubt it. We'll see tonight i guess.

If tonight is going to be a character update, i hope they show us a completely new character we haven´t seen before. I just like when the updates are complete surprises, like the banana peel or the gooy bomb, they should show us things that we havent seen before.

Update: Bumper

What?! Is this... Could it be?!

It’s the Bumper from the Nintendo 64 version of Super Smash Bros.!
Back again after a whole nine years... Well, I’ll be.

Ahh... That really takes me back.

This is the kind of bumper you might see bouncing a pinball around. So if a character touches it, he or she will get knocked around as well!

Watch out for those bumpers once they’re set!

Now you can set them in midair as well. This might lend itself to a few new and interesting strategies.

Of course, just keeping people from making it back to the stage should be the most obvious use.

And don’t just set it randomly and wait for an opponent to walk into it—try to use it wisely in combination with your own attacks. 

Guess it was a coincidence. Awsome update, i dont even remember that item in the n64 version.

WEEEEEEEEE. Sweet Sweet bumber. They seem to be going a weird dirrection with this week's updates. Filling lose ends. Still hope a character gets an update this week.

I actually enjoyed the bumper...it often bumped back into me when I threw it...it was random and fun.

And the flipper that replaced it in Melee was pointless...only good for blocking cliffs on rare occasions. Now they took the best of both items, since you can keep it in mid-air once it hits somebody, apparently.

Still...does Sakurai know it's E3 week? Give us AMAZING news! Quit toying with our heads!
