Sakurai teases the return of Meta Knight in Super Smash Bros.

Today’s screenshot from the Super Smash Bros. developer Masahiro Sakurai features two Miis dressed up as famous characters from Super Smash Bros. The first is Samus, who we already know is in the game, but the second is an homage to Meta Knight, who as of yet, hasn’t been announced as a returning character in the game. Meta Knight has featured in both Super Smash Bros. Melee as a trophy and in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a fully playable character.

It’s interesting to note that Meta Knight is often banned from official tournaments due to his super fast attack speed and the lack of viable counters for any of his movesets. Perhaps he’ll be returning for this iteration of Super Smash Bros.?
