Super Smash Bros. Brawl update - Andross (assist character) and special moves

Andross, while not a new playable character, is rather a new assist character who looks simply awesome. While most people don't know him by this design (rather they view him as an over sized monkey head with hands), this is the original, and my personal favorite! He appeared in the ever-so-hard SNES game Star Fox, where he played the role as the main antagonist. In Brawl, his head will appear, and will then drift into the background, where he'll then start to spew out unknown (really, there's no name for them, so let's just call them panels) projectiles at you! As you probably guessed, these things really hurt!

Today was also a double update day! The second update sadly wasn't great, seeing that we all could've guessed that you'd be able to do special moves in the same fashion as Melee's special moves, though at least it's been confirmed, eh? Well, we do get the names of all of Meta Knight's special attacks, which are -

*Standard-b: Mach Tornado (as expected, will cause a tornado!)
*Side-b: Triple Dash (seems to be a powerful sword attack)
*Up-b: Shuttle Loop (will launch our mysterious "friend" in the air, while thrusting his sword upwards)
*Down-b: Dimensional Cape (He'll guard himself with his strong cape)
