Revenge is a dish best served by Meta Knight.

Updates at the DOJO picked up a little with an introduction to Meta Knight’s moveset and music to his ship, the Halberd.? Though Sakurai gave some initial idea what his moves were from the Four Type controller update he made, he thought it wasn’t clarified very well in the same manner the other characters were.
<p align="center"><strong>&lt;Standard Special Move: Mach Tornado&gt;</strong></p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/metaknight_071115a-l.jpg" alt="Mach Tornado" align="middle" border="0" height="315" width="400" /> <!--more--></p>
This move will engulf your opponent with pain. You can press the Special button to rise up in the air with. Based on the E4All videos this move got spammed by a majority of the players. The description Sakurai gives seems similar to the Mario Tornado of Melee.
<p align="center"><strong>&lt;Side Special Move: Drill Rush&gt;</strong></p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/metaknight_071115b-l.jpg" alt="Drill Rush" align="middle" border="0" height="315" width="400" /></p>
Drill your enemies in a side-way fashion either on ground or in the air. By tilting the direction, you can alter Meta Knight’s trajectory.

<p align="center"><strong>&lt;Up Special Move: Shuttle Loop&gt;</strong></p>
<p align="center">Shuttle Loop is Meta Knight’s recovery move in this game. A sharp upward stab with his sword…</p>

<p align="center">According to Sakurai it is similar Kirby’s Wing Ability which also has a similar function.</p>

<p align="center">Looking to be similar to Shiek’s Up+B move, MetaKnight cloaks himself….</p>

…and reappears in a location based on the direction you used. If you’re skilled enough, you’ll be able to reappear with an attack buffered out.

Along with this update came some music for Meta Knight’s airship, the Halberd called Meta Knight’s Revenge, which it most likely got its name for the title of said game. The music is available here if you have trouble getting to the DOJO. Thanks goes to <a href="http://smashboards.com/member.php?u=17484">Regenerator</a> for the rip.

the updates have sucked so badly lately

^^^i know -_-

It's just a jump...to the left.

<Up Special Move: Shuttle Loop>
Rise up while launching your sword up...
You can also flutter through the air and glide.
This is a move you use to glide. It’s kind of like Kirby’s wing ability.

This part of the update made me ponder a little bit. I thought maybe it was a mistake, but kirby's special moves werent revealed yet so who knows what it could be talking about.

This update is made of so much fail and **** it's not even funny.

What? It was by far the best update over the last two weeks. The music is far and away the best music yet revealed for brawl.

The tears of disappointment are delicious this evening.

The music saved the update. That has to be the crunkest Brawl music so far

No, there is no mistake, Shuttle Loop is a move that was taken from Wing Kirby.

Mach tornado looks like kirby's tornado ability...

So it looks like Meta-Knight is barrowing a couple moves from Kirby

Woot! First Post.

and here's an update that doesn't suck as much
finally, a decent double update at that!
and not to mention the song's cool
yes, and there's meta knights' specials
the down special looks cool, i wonder if its a recovery
and if one can direct oneself to a position midair, or is it just horizontal teleport
in which case, it's not much of a recovery, not that meta knights 5 jumps and gliding wings need any more help

No, Mach Tornado is a move Meta Knight uses in Kirby Super Star.

it is similar but it is not it.

Really? Dang, been a while since I played I guess...Need to fight him again

The thing i'm worried about is how Sakurai seems really regretful, as it were, about the music being on the Halberd stage. He can't really be having second thoughts this late in to production, right?

The thing about Kirby's wing ability threw me off too. I definatly felt like I missed something.

why does this music remind me of the freakazoid theme song so much? anyone else get that feeling?

JMO but I think the old ver of "Meta Knight’s Revenge" is better.

Ah, that move...

Please don't tell me that we are going to not only have a lackluster week, but is the Friday update going to suck as hard too? On the other hand, after getting so much rehashed stuff and Sakurai throws out a bomb of an update, would it make it all that much sweeter?

Or would it still leave a bitter taste in our mouths?

good update his down b fascinates me *** i need 2 g2 bedddddd ima be so dead tomarrow

what are you guys complaining about??? this is a great update!

wow the other updates must have been crappy cos this one actually looked good. PLEASE GIVE US SOMETHING GREAT SOON

"WELL? How do you like it?!"

It seems like Sakurai is getting a little impatient with us

Oh well..... its not that bad. Maybe tomorrow will be the awesomest thing we've ever seen in our lives.................or another how to play

You guys are so ungrateful. I mean Sakurai is sending out good updates and just because you saw it at E for all you're all mocking the DAILY updates that Sakurai is so kind to give us. If it wasn't for him, we still be looking at that never updated site that we keep checking to see if there is anything new a month later. So be glad he is doing DAILY updates to begin with. Besides it's hard to update a site and work on the game everyday for us. HE IS DOING THIS FOR US!!! So think twice before diss these updates that the man who is making post EVERY DAY FOR YOU!!!

Also the music owns

oops thought i got mine in first, so ignore the title
anyways, the update today was better than some of the previous ones so far this week, so appreciate that its finally picking up
IMO, he could be building up to tomorrow's amazing Friday update

Man, you lot are whining too much.

Kirby music = <3

Revenge of Meta-Knight, some of the coolest Kirby that ever existed = <3 <3

Dare i say worst week of updates ever?

Sweet! The music sounded great!

I was also glad that Sakurai helped clarify Meta Knight's moves. I was a little aprehensive of the power of the Tornado and I was under the impression that Meta Knight's Down B deflected projectiles.

But now all my questions and concerns have been answered.

This is probably one of my favorite weeks of updates. Let's hope Friday can follow it up. =)

releasing information we already knew from ourselves is one thing, i dont care about that and i enjoy it...but releasing information he released a few months ago over again? thats a new low...

Whats with people complaining about this update. Did you miss the totally awesome Metaknight music?

LOL. The 11th reply is title "woot first post"

I'm not really feeling the music. It seems like none of the music they reveal is even suited for a fight in Brawl.

I hope kirby gets his wing ability in this game.

I hope Kirby is good/playable this game.

OMG. THE SONG FROM SUPERSTAR.


My life is complete..

Nice music saved this update.

I'm amazed at all the people complaining just because of the Meta Knight's Special Moves update. The song is awesome, guys.

Great song, too bad about Sakurai's regrets...

I’m now thinking that maybe this overly peppy song is a little incongruous...

Click to expand...

It may be overpeppy a bit, but it still fits. Even past that, I'll probably be using Dedede's theme anyway.
