The Official OMG Tonight Prediction Thread

[ness4life]

If Ridley isn't confirmed as a playable character tomorrow, I believe he will then be a boss in the Subspace Emissary adventure mode.

NA-NA-NANA-NA!!!! NOT LISTENING!!!!

Oh, and I can only hope for a Metroid update...

 

[O D I N]

I'm hoping for Ridley... rosses fingers:

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

I just want Marth or Captain Falcon (With AA batteries in tact).

 

[Sir James]

I just want Marth or Captain Falcon (With AA batteries in tact).

I have a feeling that Marth will be taken out and will be replaced by Ike or some other sword-wielding character that has similar attributes.

 

[OlimarPWNS200]

i think its gunna be a stage idc wat. or it will be a double update which he will post more often. if its a charcter it will be a veteran like cpt.falcon. myb even zeldas final smash. or an assist trophy!!!!

....please just predict ONE thing. that's just sad.

 

[Dither]

Hmm, I think I'll predict a Character update. Either Animal Crossing or Captain Falcon, but my actual guess goes to Falcon for tonight.

 

[Zinfandel]

Either stage, How to Play or Game modes. But then again this is a realm of unpredictability we wander in.

 

[Xephalon]

i sense andross like as an assistrophy or something

 

[Sonink]

Horray for double updates!

Also, Andross = win.

 

[Nes]

2 updates again too good looks like we see Metaknight's B moves

 

[pokemega32]

Metaknight's special moves...

YET STILL NO METAKNIGHT!!

 

[Bassoonist]

"Our model was Meta Knight."

Hahaha... Wow.

At least we got to see his special moves, even though he doesn't have a profile.

 

[OlimarPWNS200]

i told u an assist trophywould be today and bieng a HUGE star fox fan im glad it andross

 

[super.smash.camel]

hmm... hopefully theres more double updates

and wats up with that??? all of metaknights special moves and they havnt even released his character bio yet??????????????

HOW AWESOME DUZ HIS SPECIAL MOVES LOOK

 

[Weed]

I was hoping Andross was gonna be a Boss, he seems a bit large for an AT o_O
Kudos to Sakurai for subtly revealing Metaknight's special moves BEFORE his profile :D

 

[Somasu]

Clearly the next character update will be Metaknight now. Perhaps tomorrow's update, even.

Metaknight's moves look super sexy, as does the Andross AT.

Nice job, Sakurai

 

[Old Man Nintendo]

Wow, the one time I'm awake early enough to post for one of the new AT's (Andross forever!!!!) and I can't even post in the appropriate post to express my happiness.

Oh well - Andross!!! I love this AT - that brings me back to those good ol' days when a 3D game could run at under 15FPS but would be universally accepted by all. :D

Regarding Metaknight's special moves being released, I'm all for it, although I'm not too crazy about how they brought it out with the description of how Special Moves are accomplished. With that said, Metaknight's Down-B looks most interesting out of those listed and I'm disappointed with his Up-B, which looks much like Kirby's Up-B...

~Old Man Nintendo

 

[Betaz]

ROFL this is almost like having three updates... almost

 

[smashmv]

seems that sakurai is getting quick to confirm or de-confirm our speculations i.e. andross is not a boss

 

[dark_templar_99]

But from the looks of his up-b, he looks like he is going up and BACKWARDS. But i doubt it, that arc is probably from him moving his sword from down to upwards.

 

[worldjem7]

wow.... Meta Knight will be sooooo top tier now.

5 Jumps
(maybe) gliding ability
Side-B recovery
and a Reflector!!!

This is like giving Fox's Down-B to Marth in SSBM-- Zero Campability

gg

 

[pineappleupsetshark]

Holy crap!
Metaknight's Special Moves!
Perhaps Sakurai was trying to make a How To Play update more interesting.
Well, it seems the pace of updates has sped up. I guess we can expect more double updates now.
PS: METAKNIGHT FOR GOD TIER!!!

 

[worldjem7]

PS: METAKNIGHT FOR GOD TIER!!!

You said it, bro... it's just too true... YAY!!!

I always was planning on maining Meta Knight but, now... I'm going to main him EVEN MORE WOOHOO!!! lol

Edit: uh... we have the same avatar....

 

[Blackadder]

Edit: uh... we have the same avatar....

Woopdi-friggin-doo.
Lot's of people have the same avatar, there aren't that many, really.

This is a cool update, though I wish we just got a PROFILE for MK!

Metaknight may now be indefeninitly tomarrow. I swear it.

Theres no topic on the 2nd update, I'll post it here.


The actions that really define the personality of each character are special moves! In Brawl, you can do four different moves with just one button and different directional tilts on the Control Stick.

These are the four types. Control for each is quite simple.

<Standard special moves>

Many of these are basic attacks, like the firing of a weapon.
(Normal Special Move: Mach Tornado)

<Side special; Triple Strike>

These are bold attacks that launch in the direction you tilt the stick.

<Up special moves>

These are crucial. They’re used to do high jumps and for recovering when you’re falling off the stage.

(Up Special Move: Shuttle Loop) These are crucial. They’re used to do high jumps and for recovering when you’re falling off the stage.

(Down Special Move: Dimensional Cape)

Our model was Meta Knight.

To enjoy more of the depth of special moves, try holding the button down longer to charge up attacks, rapidly pressing the button repeatedly, or tilting the Control Stick while doing the moves. You might also want to try them in midair.

Surprisingly, there’s a variety of hidden uses for many of them.


__________________
My thoughts:

First of all, lets just hope that cape cant be short hopped.
2 recovery moves, side and up,
Mach Tornado: Good to stop your opponent from mass comboing im guessing

I'm afraid Meta IS a God Tier like we thought he would...

I'm so maining him.

 

[Pieman0920]

I'm thinking that Shutle Loop is a literal loop, where he makes that uppercut, flips, and then glides down, as shown in the trailers. =/

 

[blayde_axel]

Hey, Andross may still be a boss. Don't forget that have two different versions... with the quote "He appears in his original form."

 

[Moon Monkey]

Tell me How the hell we Get Meta-Knight's special moves before we even get Meta-Knight him self We have to get Meta-knight tomorrow

 

[chiyo-chan' dad]

Tell me How the hell we Get Meta-Knight's special moves before we even get Meta-Knight him self We have to get Meta-knight tomorrow

I hope not, I hope we get a new character, there the best updates you an ever get.

 

[goodkid]

In my sunday Target advertising newspaper it said Metroid Prime 3 would be released August 29, 2007, which is tomorrow. Maybe we'll get Ridley or a metroid update tomorrow.

 

[Stryks]

Were gettin metaknight this week, its innevitable now...

Hoping for a newcomer but Im good with metaknight and absolutely ANYTHING metroid related!

 

[ShoDan]

the new update will be, ether

metaknight
a metroid related item
final smash

 

[BoG]

I don't think we're getting metaknight. I think he will be unlockable, and I don't think sakurai will give them their own update unless they are there from the start. I think we'll get another newcomer this week, and since we got diddy on a wednesday, I expect someone else tomorrow.

 

[Caleb Wolfbrand]

I am pretty sure this means Meta Knight is going to be unlockable. He's shown us so much of him yet not his profile...

and I think his up B is kinda like Kirby's... shuttle loop.

cape confuses me though... we'll see what happens.

 

[lanky_gunner]

yeah, i agree with BoG and TRC. considering no profile has shown up yet, we probably won't get Metaknight for a while. maybe, though, when his update arrives, they just put the same pics for his special moves.

anyway for tonight, i'm tired of guessing a stage, so a character update. but because of my luck, it's going to be a stage. i have no freakin clue what to think anymore

 

[OmegaXXII]

Mach Tornado FTW!!, that move looks sweet, I think he'll be top-tier, as for a Meta-Knight profile I believe it will probably be sometime this week since he already revealed some of his special moves

 

[goodkid]

Not sure what tomorrow will bring. My logic is to guess the opposite of the the expected, the unexpected.
I think we will have something we've never seen before tomorrow.

 

[IllidR]

Well Sakurai usually brings the opposite of what I want so... Lots and lots of items for tomorrow! And no characters! Okay Sakurai?

 

[PrincessToadstool]

The new update is probably gonna be a Newcomer or Veteran, maybe a Boss?
