The Dojo website has profiled alot of character on the website. We have seen some old Smashers from the old games, and some new ones. But one thing that is bothering me is, why haven't they profiled Snake and/or Meta Knight? They are confirmed and it would be an easy update for them. I think they have some reason for not doing it yet. I mean they have announced 3 characters we haven't even seen before the update on the website. I just wanted to make this thread to see what your theories are.

Why haven't they profiled Meta Knight and Snake?

Because they're secret characters?

Snake is already a confirmed unlockable.
Meta Knight in my view isn't an unlockable, as they have already told us his B moves and showed us many images using him unlike Snake who isn't shown in anything. I would expect MK to be updated in the coming weeks.

Well, I guess it's still because they are unlockable. Possibly the same with Captain Falcon and whichever Earthbound hero they choose.
Metaknight probably is unlockable, most likely by beating Adventure Mode. He does seem to play a big role there ( see Halberd, his airship ). Sakurai doesn't reveal him the usual way because he's special, I guess.
I also predict that we'll soon get his profile, or another unlockable's, to initiate the phase where unlockables are shown. Since there's supposed to be a Nintendo event soon and all.

Well that update last week about the special move, i'm guessing, was just a way to give metaknight moves, without posting his profile, as I predict he will be hidden.

Gving MK's moves under the guise of "how B button works" bothered me.

Everyone that has saw the trailer already know that Snake and Metaknight are there. Sakurai just doesn't feel like putting them up there. I'm not sure if he is going to do it yet. They're going to be in Brawl anyways so don't worry if they're not profiled. It's better to play as them.

Snake is going to be unlockable, that's already been confirmed. Also, notice how Snake hasn't been shown in any screenshot in any update so far? That's because he's a secret character. With Meta-Knight though, I think that they're going to reveal a bit of his plotline in the SE but they're not ready to reveal it yet so they're keeping his profile from us for the time being.

This is probably the most logical conclusion yet.
I just think it's odd that Sakurai would be showing him constantly (and noticeably, very noticeably.) if he was unlockable.

Meta: This Week most likely.
When did they confirm that Snake was an unlockable character? I never heard anything.

Hmm... Snake does seem the lockable type. Meta Knight... not so sure. He was in the screenshots for the B Moves. So we know his B moves now.

Back when Sakauri only updated the website once a monthish Snake and Metaknight both had profiles with 4 screenshots like everyone else. And at the rate of updating every weekday there will be plenty of information by December rolls around so my guess is their profiles will be fillers to waste a character update on.

There was a quote on the old site that said something like "I want 3rd party characters to be treated like guests, so they will be unlockable."
Oh cool. I never saw the old site, I just followed the new one. Well I guess I will have to fight (literally) for snake.

We are only getting the starter characters at this moment.
Probably after December 3rd we will get the unlockables.

Exactly. Theyre not gonna give us the full roster or prolly even game modes before Dec. 3.
Even then theyre gonna have to give people time to do the unlockables.

I'd rather get updates about new characters than about Snake and a character we know everything
about already... (nomatter how much I like him)

maybe once they show meta knight in the SE, his profile will be up the next day.

When did they reveal the box-art? I am pretty sure they haven't revealed it yet.

Hmmm...Maybe Sakurai wants to wait until tension for the game's risen higher still(like, Oct. or Nov.), then start to release info on 3rd party characters. That's my guess.
Snake is supposed to be an unlockable character.
Meta Knight is most likely an unlockable character (go play Knightmare in Dreamland for the GBA).
Also, saving Solid Snake's profile and info toward the end will likely generate more interest and discussion as the holiday season approaches and gamers' eyes are all turned toward blockbuster titles.
Masahiro Sakurai has said before that he likes to give other studio's characters more spotlight, which is why there has only been one Kirby character thus far. This is yet another reason why Meta Knight could be held back and other characters shown off before him.
