<p align="center">One of the things people missed about Smash 64 was character entrances. Before a fight, as the counter counts down 3 seconds and then calls out “go”, your character would appear. Instead of Melee, trohies being surrounded by a short burst of light and becoming real, characters would enter in a variety of ways, from coming out of Pokeballs to coming out of the sewers.</p>
<p align="center">While we knew they were in, having been shown not long ago at E for All, they’ve officially been announced today, also revealing a fair few that we hadn’t seen.</p>

<p align="center">Like in Smash 64 Mario comes up from a Warp Pipe and Fox jumps out of his Arwing.</p>

<p align="center">The Condor from the top of Icele Mountain makes it’s second appearance in Smash, this time carrying the Ice Climbers instead of the last target.</p>

<p align="center">Lucas has the wierdest one I’ve seen, riding to war on the back of a Tea Table shaped like Mr Saturn.</p>

<p align="center">Ike warps in using Warp Magic. No idea what the actual spell is called, but I expect someone to post with the answer ;)</p>

I'm almost exactly sure that Ike's entrance is borrowed from the Black Knight's Warp Powder magic from Fire Emblem Path of Radiance.

Yeah, it wasn't the best update but it could've been worse... I think... oh well.

I'm really starting to like the Ice Climbers very much. I don't know why... they're just so... retro and it's awesome ^.^

yea but theres a staff called Warp that warps units around the field I think....maybe Rhys, Mist, Elincia or Soren used the Warp Staff on Ike to bring him to the Smash universe...

Well, considering there is no Warp Staff in PoR...I think my assumption of the Warp Powder could be correct. Though it's just an entrance so it really doesn't matter that much :/

Ike never had a magic spell like that...they could be using Black Knight's Warp ability for his entrance.

Well, this update was pretty crappy in my opinion, we already knew that they were back, but at least he gave us a couple we didn't know (Snake, Lucas, Ice Clmiber)

Would of been been nice to see more of the entrances we don't know, but I'm just glad we got a How to Play update out of the way.

Sakurai! Stop giving stuff we already know! I love how entrances are back though.. but still a mediocre update because we already knew it.
What about people who didn't play the demo or watch demo videos or read about the demo?Not everyone looks for every inch of ****ing information. Also he gave us a few entrances we didn't even know.

We weren't supposed to know that entrances were back. It was strictly forbidden to record videos at E4All.

Ike looks like god tier in that pic.

I honestly cannot believe that they made an update over this- especially a ****ing Friday update.

I was actually expecting something good today..

I'm sure if Sakurai decided "Oh hey, they already know what MetaKnight's Final Smash is, I just won't update today" we'd be dealing with a huge number of topics complaining about the lack of an update.

The guy who does the translating gets given about a months worth at once and a schedual he has to follow for each daily update.

It's not Sakurai's fault and you should all just give it a rest.

I'm rather neutral about this. Is it really a big deal if character intros were not seen in Melee?
Concidering the amount of topics we've had saying they should be back, I'd say it's a decent sized deal.

Well, think of it this way: we all knew it was coming! Sure, we already knew that they were back, but Sakurai-san wanted to make it explicit, which just speaks greatly to his true devotion to the creation of this game. I mean, we already knew Meta Knight's Final Smash, but we still needed the official update. Same goes for Super Sonic, an even more basic example. We've all seen it in action, and we all know what it does, but it's painfully obvious that it will still "waste" one day of updates. And considering that we just got a newcomer last week, not to mention the stage builder bombshell, there needed to be a little balance. ;)

Plus, it's character entrances! I loved these little "special touches" back in Smash 64, so I'm doubly excited to see them back after the Melee hiatus.

(Really, though, I'm actually just excited to get a little more information on Lucas! :grin: )

What? The Stage Builder wasn't good enough for you? And who says Fridays have to be mind-blowing?

Get over it!

I think it's another great subtle little touch that makes the game that much better. Very glad to see them back.

Remember we got a big update at the start of the week. ;]

Not necessarily a huge deal, but it's one of the many "little things" that could make the difference between a 9.5 and a 10.0. And I'm glad to see them back, at any rate.
