Naw, it's the people who keep saying character plz. We have to stop doing that. He knows what we want, and he's no longer giving it to us.

Mastering the chargeable subset of special moves is important.
Take the following moves, for example.
Links Standard Special Move: The Heros Bow
Pikachus Side Special Move: Skull Bash
These moves can be charged up by holding down the special-move button, increasing both speed and power. If you press the button down firmly and then release, youll unleash the move at full strength! When you first try out a character you arent familiar with, this should be the first thing you try.
But, there are also some moves that continue charging even after you release the button... Huh???
DKs Standard Special Move: Giant Punch
Samuss Standard Special Move: Charge Shot
...among others.
For these moves, when you press the special-move button again, it unleashes the move at the power level you charged it to.
Also, with these moves, you can move around while charged by charging the move to the maximum limit or by pressing the shield button to cancel the charge.
Look! Smoke shoots out from his head when hes reached maximum charge!
Do your best to build up the maximum charge, then unleash it at just the right moment! These are superimportant techniques for characters like DK and Samus. Dont forget them.

Lucas' FS is AWESOME.
Also, this would have been much, much better if they revealed a new move for a character in the Charged Specials update.

Once again, at least he gave us two boring updates instead of just one. It could be a lot worse!

Sakurai is going to run out of lame updates eventually

If Monday opened up with "play as Assist Trophies", and confirmed that Saki, Grey Fox, Samurai Goroh, Lyndis, Little Mac, and Knuckle Joe would eventually become playable somehow, that'd be hawt.

Nah, theres lots of pokeballs and trophys to go around. and maybe if hes really desperate, he will show off some stickers!
-November 23rd brings us the Dojo's 21st double update. (As I said last time, I'm now going by official tracking.) It's also the second double update of the week, and the fifth double update in the past three weeks. You might almost think that November had been good, if only the double updates had been, you know, a bit more substantial. >_>
-Lucas' final smash serves as the 5th Mother update, pulling that series ahead of Yoshi, Wario, and Animal Crossing for Dojo representation.
-Final smashes and how to play have now hit 17 updates each, pulling ahead of game modes while tying with stages for second-most-common updates. Depending on whether you love or hate final smashes and how to play updates, this might just be a testament to the quality of November either way.
-Known characters without a final smash update are now reduced to King Dedede, Snake, Sonic, Wario, Zelda, and Zero Suit Samus. Brace for impact if you wish.
Edit: Forgot.
-21 days since a character. That's the equivalent of three regular weeks, more than the equivalent of four weeks of Dojo updates, and also we now have a literal four weeks that contained no update (as opposed to yesterday, when we had to carry over one Friday into a new week). Delight!

Oh, there are some many future lame updates to be had!
For example:
--Advance Wars and Drill Dozer assist trophies.
--Sonic, Zelda, Wario, King Dedede, Snake and Zero Suit Samus final smashes
--soccer ball
--crawling
--wall jumping
--air dodging
--title screen
--'Veteran pokemon' (snorlax, etc), Gardevoire, Torchic, Kyogre, Bonsley, & Latios/Latias pokeballs
That's 19 possible crappy updates right there.

EarthBound related updates are megaton for me. So I'll take it

Crazy how Lucas' FS wrecked the entire stage like that. I wonder if this is a nature of Skyworld (I remember it being destructible to an extent), or if Lucas can break other stages as well?

The whole game is a megaton. But we got spoiled by October, and nearly every November update has been atrocious. So, it's kinda hard not to complain. Yes, we are aware it's more than most companies would do that. Yes, we like it. But a sucky update is still a sucky update, even if it's more than other companies do.
Shinobix said:
Well I'd like to see an update featuring a new stage, or some music, or a characters' moves that we haven't seen before, or I don't know... a new character!
Lucas' final smash is pretty cool, admittedly, but I personally don't care about the character in general. Furthermore, learning about how we can charge up B moves is boring. The only good I can take from it is the knowledge that it can't be used as a stand-alone update now.
Rindain said:
I'd like to see all of these, actually. Well, Wario's would be kinda "meh" but everyone else's interests me.
Dreavus said:
Sheik downgraded to Final Smash confirmed total!
We've already seen Sonic and Zero Suit Samus' final smashes, and we can pretty much guess that Wario's will be the giant megaton fart seen in the first trailer. I am interested in Snake and Zelda's FS's, though, although they aren't nearly as interesting to me as any new stage, music, or character. Or most assist trophies.

Final smashes as a whole don't really interest me, and once the novelty is gone, I'll probably take them out. But, I could be wrong, and I could find them amazing. But as I feel now, I just think meh, when I see them.
Tracking the Posting Rate of the Dojo Update Thread
Well, guys, I went ahead and threw together the statistics and actually we haven't slowed down as much as one might think...
Page 1 of the Dojo thread began on May 22nd (going by the standard 50-posts-per-page viewing style).
Page 100 starts with a post from June 25th, 34 days later. Understandable, given that updates were pretty weak in the beginning.
Page 200 starts at August 1st, 37 days later.
Page 300 starts at August 24th, 23 days later. I should note that the period of time between this page and page 200 brought us the Subspace Emissary megaton as well as Pokemon Trainer (and Ike was on August 1st itself), so perhaps we'd begun to realize that there would be some excellent material on the Dojo.
Page 400 starts at September 19th, 26 days later.
Page 500 starts at October 2nd, 13 days later. Note that September 19th was one day after the reveal of Wi-Fi Play, so things sped up fairly significantly here.
Page 600 starts at October 12th, 10 days later. Sonic on October 10th kept the pace pretty high, but even before him we had co-op on October 5th.
Page 700 starts at October 26th, 14 days later. Nothing particularly enormous happened in that time period, but I guess we were still flying high on hype.
Page 800 starts at November 15th, 19 days later. I have no explanation for why we're still going this fast, other than perhaps that by now we've built enough of a "community" that we don't need megatons to sustain us.
Page 900 starts at December 6th, 21 days later (albeit very near the end of December 6th, going by Pacific time for North America). Novembust slowed us down a bit, I guess, but not as much as one might have expected after living through that month.
Page 1000 starts at January 5th, 30 days later. Hit hard by a holiday slowdown as well as a week of non-updates, we nonetheless slugged onward and did still manage to beat the posting rates from pages 1-200!

iirc, corocoro magazin'e last SSBB preview had never before seen shots and stuff, and their pokemon info are genuine and first before anybody.
Even if the starting rooster is just some of the characters already on the site, at least there will be some new screenshots and stuff.
