Handicap
Be kind to beginners! If all you do in brawls is beat up people who don’t know left from right, they’ll never understand the rules of the game, right?
So until now, I’ve always made sure to include handicaps in each game in the series.
But, I began to think that there isn’t much thrill in just making yourself weaker, so I changed the system.
First, find the Handicap option on the Rules screen.
Then you’ll see something new.
Click-click-click! Ratchet up the handicap.
You start with your initial damage meter boosted!
Even when you reappear.
The strength of each character doesn’t change, so then you can show your skills to your opponent!
Also, you can use this not only for handicapping, but also for starting all players at the same damage—it’ll give you matches with a slightly different feel.
Now, I’ve also kept the auto-handicap feature. This gradually increases the starting damage for the winner of the match.
Choose the Auto setting from the same option.

After factoring out all sets of three consecutive days including a megaton, a character, a stage, music, a new game mode, a new gameplay mechanic, or anything involving online functionality, I looked through the records one last time to see if I could find any more trios of lame updates and...
...Well, what do ya know, I actually didn't need to do any of that because the only bad sets I found that way were what I had found at a glance in the first place. >_> The only significant new contenders were these:
August 27th to 29th - Superspicy Curry, Andross assist + four kinds of special moves, Pokemon Trainer's moves
October 17th to 19th - Meowth + Wii remote controls, Little Mac assist, Peach's final smash
But Pokemon Trainer's moves (nine of them!) and Meta Knight's carry that first set to a decent quality, and Wii remote controls are more than good enough for the third set. Plus both of these sets include a double update anyway.
So yeah, it seriously hasn't been worse than these past three days. :lol Except for July 9th to 11th.

Soooooooooo I was just thinking about something.
I would hope we get a character profile this week, because if we don't it will have been THREE whole weeks without one. MADNESS
HOWEVER... if that character profile ends up being on Friday (fridayton, you know)... what does that do to the chances of a Megaman profile for Monday?! (An update that would happen the same night as the Capcom Megaman 20th Anniversary event)
We've never had a character profile update two days in a row, nor have we ever have a Friday update be the same type of update as a Monday update. (Correct me if I'm wrong on that, Jiggy)
And if Megaman isn't shown on Monday or at that Capcom event... what does that do to his chances of making it in the game!? That event would have to be when Capcom would announce him... you know they'd want to advertise his inclusion.
Here's hoping we get a character profile Thursday, or if we get one on Friday we get the first ever back to back character update days with Megaman on Monday anyway! (Or hey, maybe we'll just have our first 3 week no-character drought! It's looking like it could easily be that way..)
Anyway this is all just wild 'n crazy speculation since this lame-o update hasn't left us with anything better to talk about
There are still a bunch of different scenarios that may happen

Jiggy37 said:Here are some sequences of three days that have arguably been as bad as this, if it makes anyone feel better:
July 9th to July 11th - Standard Combos, Dr. Wright, Bumper
July 27th, 30th, and 31st - Knuckle Joe assist, DK's final smash, Pitfall
August 14th to 16th - Devil assist, Stickers, Tether Recovery
September 24th to 26th - Trophies, Diddy's final smash, Mr. Resetti assist
September 25th to 27th - Diddy's final smash, Mr. Resetti assist, Pokemon Trainer's final smash
September 26th to 28th - Mr. Resetti assist, Pokemon Trainer's final smash, Tourney mode
I know, I know. I had to count that September week three times, but I had to find bad sets of three days somehow. >_>
Actually, I personally would only count that first set as worse than this one.
I dont' know, wasn't Dr. Wright day the first day assist trophies were announced? Wouldn't that make it an awesome update?

its a handicap for people who read to fast.
WTF?!? Earlier this day I was having a nice chat with my girlfriend, but then I decided to F5 Smash Dojo instead. My GF didn't like it, she would've wanted to have sex with me, but I had to say NO!, as I got better things to do. I showed my true love to her by F5:ing that Smash Dojo website instead of her, to get an awesome update today. Eventually we had to break up as she really didn't understand how important this is to me (and to many other people around here). We'd rather screw up our lives than miss the update, but it's all for the greater good, right? But now all we got was this handicapped stuff
Alright, I'm out after this.
As for a Friday being the same as the next Monday... Yep, that's actually never happened either, now that I look.
Well then, I believe it's time to hope for a Newcomer Thursday. But I fear you might be on to something with the Three Weeks of Non-Character. >_>
But Dr. Wright was the second assist trophy, and he did have some cool factor going for him since he was the proving ground that assist trophies could include really obscure characters... So yeah, you're probably right, that day wasn't bad at all.
True about the character profile, although we did have Mario + Link and Kirby + Pikachu on the same day as each other.MrCheez said:

Mega-Man's 20th Birthday eh? I think that will be the day. We gotta believe kids. Time to hype it up.
Oh snapplecakes, I just read that Friday is Miyamoto's birthday.
Olimar on Friday, Megaman on Monday?!?! Let's get this hype train started, choo choo!

Oh man I think we might really be in store for teh megatoonz. Seriously this time... (God I hope I'm not hyping myself up for nothing again!)
Let's take a look:
Friday Update - The day of Miyamoto's Birthday. We have evidence that Sakurai planned updates around birthdays in the past. On his own birthday we had the reveal of the Subspace Emissary mode... a mode that Sakurai has stated (in interviews) he was really excited to add to the franchise.
On Kazumi Totaka's birthday (the sound editor for Animal Crossing, Mario Paint, etc) we got the K.K. Slider Animal Crossing music.
So if we have evidence that Sakurai definitely keeps the birthdays of VIP Nintendo Dudez in mind when updating, what update makes the most sense for Miyamoto's b-day? I submit CAPTAIN OLIMAR PLAYABLE 4REALZ! Pikmin was a HUGE project to Miyamoto. The dude is in love with gardening, and it's a franchise that is close to his heart. If Olimar is in the game and not unlockable, there is no better day to reveal him!
OR maybe we'll get a Mario Galaxy stage? Wouldn't be as much of a megaton as Olimar, but would still rock! (I really hope there is one in the game)
Monday Update- Capcom's Megaman 20th Anniversary Event on Sunday. If the blue bomber is in the game, how could he NOT be revealed at this event? It seems strange that Konami and Sega would get to advertise their characters before the game comes out, but not Capcom. And if he gets revealed at the event that day, of course he'll be posted on the Dojo Sunday night (for the Monday update). Both Snake and Sonic had their character profiles added the same day they were discussed at media events.
Sooooo yeah. Isn't hyping yourself to infinity off pure speculation fun?

That KK Rider song fucking ruled. Who created Animal Crossing and when is his birthday? I want a confirmed Animal Crossing character. Yeah, Friday will be Captain Olimar and Monday will be Mega-Man. I am jumping on the train. Who is with us?

Going with the awesome streak so far.
Friday update will be the title screen.
And a description of how you can press start while looking at flames.
Monday: SFX volume on the options menu
Tuesday: Music volume
Wednesday: Mono, stereo or Surround
Thursday: Game auto-saves
Friday: Screen position adjustment
Oh, and for the rest of the weeks, the updates just repeat stuff already updated at the beginning.

I expect the old/lame stuff updates to last for a while now because of the delay, but I hope the week before release will be loaded with awesomeness.
And of course, this month, Mega Man. X. Believe.

Wow, even I'm impressed with the weak sauce of todays update. The pictures weren't even good. Ah well, can we continue the streak?
well let's try looking at things in a positive light
excluding stuff we already know from the e4all demo for disappointing update we would have
- a bonus update (you know that stuff you get after a fight like "no smash attack for the entire fight")
- how to get trophies update
- maybe a list of old moves for veterans like they did for items?
i don't think how to play can cover any more subject
taunts,combo,starting animation,recovery,smash,shielding,throwing,special moves
no other tech remain (maybe edge hog)

So for the sake of fun (read: because I don't have Mario Galaxy yet), I put together a list of the first 11 Dojo update days that were as boring as this month has been. As a refresher, here's the November to date:
Meta Knight's final smash, on-screen appearances, Fox's Misfortune, Fire Emblem theme, items from previous installments, Gray Fox assist, grab and throw, Lucas' moves, Norfair, Ike's final smash, taunts, handicaps
I wanted to match type for type, e.g. two final smashes, two old How to Play techniques, one old How to Play Smash 101 update, one video, one music, one old item, one assist trophy, one set of special moves, one stage that was already known beforehand, and one old game mode. So here we go, the first 11 corresponding Dojo updates:
Pit's moves (5-28), Yoshi's Story music (6-4), you must recover! (6-6), Yoshi's Island (6-12), crates and barrels (6-14), Link's final smash (6-18), Pikachu's final smash (6-19), standard combos (7-9), Dr. Wright (7-10), E3 movie (7-12), tether recovery (8-16), trophies (9-24)
Direct comparison in terms of the buzz around each...
Pit's moves < Lucas' moves (Lucas showed more of them)
Yoshi's Story music = Fire Emblem music (a lot of general love for both)
You must recover > grab and throw (the recovery had some fuss about Mario getting more air on his up + B)
Yoshi's Island = Norfair
Crates and barrels > items from previous installments (crate design changes!)
Link's final smash < Meta Knight's final smash (Link's had been known since E3 2006)
Pikachu's final smash > Ike's final smash (Ike's had been seen at E for All)
Standard combos < on-screen appearances
Dr. Wright = Gray Fox (Dr. Wright proved obscure assist trophies; Gray Fox proved third-party assist trophies)
E3 movie > Fox's Misfortune
Tether recovery = taunts (tethers and taunts were both changed)
Trophies > handicaps (there was doubt about trophies returning, not handicaps)
Meta Knight's final smash, on-screen appearances, Fox's Misfortune, Fire Emblem theme, items from previous installments, Gray Fox assist, grab and throw, Lucas' moves, Norfair, Ike's final smash, taunts, handicaps

Yeah, there have been dry stretches in the past. It's the fact that we had so many awesome updates right before this stretch that makes it particularly painful. We'd gotten used to having a megaton or two each week.
Someone has probably already thought of this earlier in this (massive) thread, but as I was playing Galaxy, I realized: wouldn't it be awesome to have a

-That level has been shown in TV commercials for crying out loud, so I don't see how it's not fair game.
Nevertheless, I am sorry if I spoiled anything for people who were on a 100% media blackout.

Has anybody thought about maybe they're running out of good material for the updates?
I mean when this whole "daily update" thing was brought up it was with the December 3rd launch date in mind, now they have to milk the information throughout THREE more months, so I'm not expecting many more amazing updates without telling you everything thats in the game.
It just makes sense.
