Lets get right into the recap, shall we? Monday brought thenews of a new stage. Think back toMeleeand the Ice Climbers stage. Now take out the snow, add the jungle and that’s what you get with this new level based onDonkey Kong. Tuesdaybrought the return of Yoshiand the news that he will have a third jump finally. It’s funny to note that at the end of the Tuesday update,Masahirohad this to say about Yoshi:
That’s enough to earn him a hearty welcome, isn’t it?
On Wednesday, another new stage was revealed.It’s called Sky Worldand is Pit’s level. The main floor on this level breaks easily so should be a great level for the flying characters. The best piece of news was revealed on Thursday with the new technique calledFootstool Jump. As your character jumps on top of another character, you may use your enemy as spring launcher and jump off of him. From the screens, it looks like your enemies will get paralyzed for a little while as well. It seems you’ll also be able to use this technique as an attack called Meteor Smash. Finally, on Friday, a new Assist Trophy was revealed from theKirbyuniverse. His name isKnuckle Joe, and was the character Kirby could eat to give him fighting skills (which often resembledRyu’sfrom Street Fighter fighting style).
Pretty much a dull week at theDOJO!! The most interesting news was the Footstool Jump. From the sound of it, it’s going to be real easy to be a cheap bastard. Imagine if your trying to jump back to the battlefield after getting knocked off stage only to have someone jump on top of you right before you make it back and get paralyzed mid-air.
