Fox McCloud will own all. I'm kinda excited to play as Sonic though. Sonic is the only character I'll play as, I swear to God...well, besides those few times I have to use other characters to unlock the rest.

Wow personalized messages and custom maps? We're going to have 13 year old boys calling us GAYZORZ and stuff while they upload maps of giant wangs... not that i care the game will still rock something fierce. Personalized messages are for friends only. Why do you have 13 year old boy friends?

www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various12.htmlHandicap 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.

Music: Meta Knight’s Revenge www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music14.htmlMeta Knight: Special Moves www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/metaknight.html#2ndI introduced some of Meta Knight’s special moves in a previous post titled "Four Special Move Types". But, since he has so many peculiar moves, I wanted to explain them again. <Standard Special Move: Mach Tornado> Suck them up! Your inertia carries you left and right. Tap the button to rise up off the ground a bit. <Side Special Move: Drill Rush> Rush!!! You spin like a drill, plowing into people. You can also change your direction slightly. Push your enemies up into the air! Of course, you can push them down, too. <Up Special Move: Shuttle Loop> Rise up while launching your sword up... You can also flutter through the air and glide. This is a move you use to glide. It’s kind of like Kirby’s wing ability. <Down Special Move: Dimensional Cape> The familiar move from the trailer. He wraps himself in his cape, disappears, and reappears with this move. Tilt the stick to move the position where he’ll reappear! If you’re pressing the attack button, you’ll unleash a surprise attack as you reappear! Use the Dimensional Cape as a precursor to an attack. If you just can’t get the opportunity, then forget about attacking.

They seem to have made a mistake on the music page for today's update. They have it listed as an update from the 5th, not the 15th.

www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/wi-fi/wi-fi02.htmlSpectator Even among Smash players, there are some people who just aren’t that good at action games. With that in mind, I’ve been thinking about how I can convey the fun of Smash to newcomers. I’ve been thinking about this type of thing since long before I joined this industry. So, for this game, I’ve prepared a new kind of mode. It’s called Spectator, and you’ll find it in the With Anyone menu. If I had to describe it in a word, it’s "watching!" You can enjoy watching matches between other people! This mode is a service where Nintendo uses Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to send the data for games played between other people to every Smash household. Match selection is handled automatically, and absolutely no names of any players can be seen. It feels like there’s a continuous broadcast of matches on your television! Even if you don’t play, you can enjoy the battles of other characters! And at the beginning of each match, you can even bet coins on the character you think will win. I’ll bet some coins. I’ve got a winner! Glean what hints you can from the stages and combatants and try to deduce the winner. Of course, if your pick wins, your coin count will increase! And the more players in a match, the higher the payout. There may even be extra prizes. Even if you lose, you can get some stickers. Just to make sure there’s no mistaking that just watching a match can be fun, we’ll be passing out stickers left and right. For those of you who want to cooperate with our data collection for Spectator mode, set Allow Spectators to Yes in your Wi-Fi Options. This will result in your play data occasionally being sent to Nintendo. This setting is in your Wi-Fi Options. The content that is broadcast is the same for everyone spectating (if your connection timing is the same), so it should be fun to have people in different environments watch and cheer the same match. To be shocked by impressive play, or to bust a gut laughing at some accident will be quite fun! Perhaps you can use it as reference for your own matches. Hopefully this mode is something that even people who aren’t good at games can enjoy.

well, it's about time Nintendo put something like this in a game. Why didn't they do this for other games?

Now correct me if im wrong, but with this, would having a online tournament be easier to have since people can actually watch the results?

This update does not mention anything about watching friends games or watching specific games. It says Nintendo will basically broadcast this as a non-stop TV channel, picking random games non-stop to broadcast to everyone who is watching through Spectator Mode. It even says you wouldn't know the names of the people you're watching.
So no, a tournament (or any sort of interaction with/knowledge of the people playing) is a no go.
A friend watching mode could happen, but nothing here even hints at it.

www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/iceclimbers.html#3rdIce Climbers: Final Smash <Iceberg> The Ice Climbers’ Final Smash is Iceberg! Calling it Iceberg is a bit problematic. I mean, it’s not like... Ahh! I guess Iceberg IS about all you can call this! When you get the Smash Ball and do your move... The duo does a high-five, and... CRRRRRSSSSSSHHHHH! It happens even in the big city, just like this... Ice doesn’t just make the available ledges smaller and more slippery, but it also damages your opponents! But, of course, the Ice Climbers can handle it no problem. They look as cool and refreshed as ever. Sometimes, you can even freeze opponents. Now that’s just cold!

Smart Bomb This familiar item is from the Star Fox series. Those who have played those games can imagine how this bomb explodes. Throw the Smart Bomb, Fox! Don’t get caught in the explosion, Fox! Hurry, Fox! Run! This fearsome item practically covers entire stages in a massive, engulfing explosion. It’s best to try to use it in a spot that leaves few places for enemies to flee. Or something like that. It does seem that they occasionally fail to explode. You might throw it, only to watch it not detonate. In those cases, you’ll want to be careful, because you never know when it might go off. Speaking of duds, certain Pokémon that explode also sometimes fail to detonate. Pssssssst. Training If you brawl for a long time, there is one thing you will definitely start to think: "What can I do that will help me be able to win?" For that, I’ve implemented a training mode to help you get to know the characters. At first glance, nothing about this screen seems unusual. Bothersome displays are hidden at first. The settings screen appears when you pause the game. Oh! There it is! You can produce lots of items. You can put in three computer opponents, and jack their damage meters way up. And you can see how much damage different combos do. You can even put it in slow motion. (But...you can’t tell that from a screen shot.) You need to know the moves, whether you’re trying to hit with them or avoid them—this is especially true of Final Smashes. This mode is particularly helpful with that.

www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/technique08.htmlColor Changes You can change the color of your character by pressing buttons on the character-selection screen! This is one of the many joys of Smash. This time, each character has about six different color variations. We’ve added Fire Mario to the selection. He’s white! Is this Yeti DK? What’s this?! Dark Link?! The Fusion Suit is a must. The Dark Fox. That’s pretty cool. Th-those... I’ve seen those before somewhere... This is the Zelda of old. Golden colors and fallen angel colors. Hmm... These are the colors of an ordinary soldier. Snake changed his camouflage! The end result is a great wealth of varieties, so I hope you’ll all find your favorite color combinations.
