<em>On the BattleShip Halberd
Lots of Smashers play, and they hit hard…</em>
<p align="center">It’s Wednesday, middle of a rather mediocre week for Dojo updates. Today’s update is a stage we’ve known about for years, MetaKnight’s craft, the Battleship Halberd. Other than being the setting of a stage, it’s also the ship that’s been seen off the Primid.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/stage12_070912a-l.jpg" alt="MetaKnight goes to polish his ship one last time before it's fully revealed." /></p>

<p align="center"><!--more-->
Not much has changed from what we’ve seen in the trailers. It takes off from its hanger (which is apparently sea based) and flies around with a platform following.
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/stage12_070912b-l.jpg" alt="Fighters fight? Gee, what else would they do?" /></p>
<p align="center">What’s new though is that you actually land on the deck of the ship, which also introduces a new hazard.</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="center">What you see in the background is a double-barreled battery. With an arm.</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/stage12_070912c-l.jpg" alt="The claw MK II" /></p>
<p align="center">It’s rather nasty piece of machinery, launching missiles, lasers and attacking with it’s <del datetime="2007-09-12T08:00:21+00:00">arm</del> CLAW.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/stage12_070912d-l.jpg" alt="It's the father of Samus' suit!" /></p>
<p align="center">Sakurai is a big tease. Teasy McTease Teaser. That’s his name. Why? The closing paragraph. Curse you Sakurai!</p>

<blockquote>
<p align="center">The Battleship Halberd appears not only appears in multiplayer Brawl stages, but also plays a very important role in The Subspace Emissary. That role is something you’ll have to look forward to.</p>

You know, I'm not that interested in the SubSpace updates, or anything hinting at them. I just don't find the Adventure Mode that amazing, or interesting. Of course, I'm fasinated with the story idea.

On the stage itself, I'm pretty annoyed at the canon. I like stages like Battlefield, where all it consists of is a nice simple battle area, with no hazards. But I do like this stage, all up. As long as I can play it, it'll be all good with me. :p

Metaknight is looking at the beam like...

"WHY are you shooting at me?! I'm your creator!" or somesuch.

Anywho, awesome looking stage, Yay combo cannon, yadada yadada.

Regardless, about time we have an update for this. Now we just need one for Mario Circuit, Shiek, Ganondorf, Super Scope, Lip's Stick, Crawling, Rolling...and then we should have nothing but NEW Stuff :D

You forgot old stages anywho this is gonna be the best hazard in a stage ever unless Sakurai can top this masterpiece which he probably can.

Another lame update in my opinion. I still say Munchlax was the best update ever, since it COMPLETELY confirmed 4th Generation of Pokemon to be in Brawl. Now Lucario has chances ><

To the Halberd... nice I suppose. I didn't expect to play on this Stage much anywho.

That's a pretty lame reason to dub it the best update ever.
It hardly helps Lucario's chances, either. Now he has 499 (or whatever) less poke'mon to fend off for a playable spot!

I wouldn't have called the Munchlax update epic at all, compared to things like the 15 second trailer, Ike, AT trophies being revieled, ect.

If you was a Lucario supporter you wouldn't be saying that and you know it. That's like saying since Twilight Princess was confirmed for Brawl, Ganondorf now has Zant, Midna, Wolf Link, The 4 Partners, that one chick, Minda true form, whatever, its been awhile since I've played.

You know, despite the huge cannon in the one section of the level, I still think this stage will be tournament legal. But does anyone else suspect that the arm might grab you and hold you in place for the cannon? And how much damage will Ness recover from dB countering this beam?

I like ebonics too Uchiha. The talk is what you make it, and parents and they kids can't stop it, yo. ;)

I have to admit, I'm far from a Lucario supporter. I'm not a Lucario hater either. If he gets in, great, another to the roster, if not, I don't really care.

I'm just saying that I would far from say Munchlax was the best update so far because it meant Lucario now has an extra 2.3% chance of being in Brawl as a playable character.
...we're talking about this on a thread about MetaKnight.
Let's just do this on MSN. :p

Very cool stage, I like the ideas of it and it doesn't seem too complicated besides the arms and cannons which I'm sure you can avoid but have to watch out for. I guess Sakurai is trying to imply that it's metaknight's ship taken over in the Subspace Emissary. Maybe Metaknight will be one of the goodies in the story?

I think Sakurai is trying to break the record for the highest number of crappy update weeks in a row. So far, he's almost got three. Two more crappy disappointing updates to go, Sakurai! You can do it! -_-;;;

That guy is starting to piss me off. Give. Us. A. ****ing. Character. You. *******.

I like this stage, it reminds me of how Mute City is because of the platform that moves. It'll be a good stage, although, I think the hangar will be the main place people will want to be on simply because it's probably got more space to move as opposed to the deck. Ah well, I'll have to see for myself when I get the game.

I like it though and will probably play on it a lot, much like Delfino Plaza or Castle Siege. Just another stage that I will enjoy! =D

I'm sick and tired of everyone whining about lack of character updates.
Deal with it. We're gonna have days/weeks like this. Sakurai isn't going to constantly reveal extraordinarily groundbreaking updates. He's getting these out of the way so he can reveal more characters. So quit complaining, cause it ain't gonna make anything better.

It took him long enough to show the Halberd. I'm surprised Kirby's Final Smash hasn't appeared on the site yet.

I have a feeling that Captain Falcon will be the next character update but I could be wrong, like always.
