Previously, game director Masahiro Sakurai teased costumes for the Mii fighters based on the other Nintendo combatants.  In the teaser, he had one of the Miis posing as Kirby anti-hero Meta Knight, though not an official character reveal.  Today on the official Smash Bros. website, it was officially revealed and Meta Knight looks just as intimidating as he did in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.  This brings our current character count up to 37, or 39 if you count the other two Mii Fighter types.

It should come as no surprise, as earlier this year it was revealed that Meta Knight’s Halberd would once again return as a stage in the game, making it pretty much a guarantee that we would see his return.
