Metal Face on Gaur Plain.

Metal Face first appeared as a shadow at the end of Shulk's reveal trailer, teasing his role as the stage boss of Gaur Plain which was confirmed in the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza Direct. Soon after night falls, Metal Face may appear. He can either appear in the middle of the stage and then perch between the two main platforms or fire his Custom Grand Shot at one of the main platforms making it fall down, thus destroying the platforms underneath, and placing himself on the fallen platform. Once positioned he doesn't actively chase fighters, but he tries to hit any close fighter with a claw swipe. If he is not defeated after enough time passes, he leaves the stage after performing a dashing strike across the horizontal length of the stage. When defeated, he will damage whoever didn't get the last hit as he bursts into a series of explosions and fall as a flaming projectile towards the bottom of the stage. Any other players near the explosions or falling Metal Face will take heavy damage and knockback.

Metal Face will say any of a random set of lines while on the stage; however, he has special quotes directed at Shulk that only play if he is one of the fighters in a given battle. For a full list of quotes, see here.

In Smash Tour

Metal Face appears as a random event: bumping into him will initiate a battle against him in Gaur Plain. If not defeated in time he flies to another spot in the map, but he retains any prior damage.

Trophy information

Metal Face's trophy is part of the Mechonis Trophy Box.

Metal Face

A faced Mechon who appears on the Gaur Plain stage. He swoops in from the sky when night falls and then leaves with the break of dawn. He doesn't actively pursue fighters, but if you get too close, you'll taste the deadly bite of his claws. Watch out for his laser attack too-it can destroy parts of the stage itself!

Origin

Metal Face first appeared in Xenoblade Chronicles during the attack on Shulk's hometown, Colony 9. He proved to be very different than most other Mechon, with the ability to speak and an immunity to the Monado, which otherwise is the only weapon that can harm Mechon. He has a cruel personality and enjoys causing the suffering of others. During the attack on Colony 9, he supposedly kills Shulk's childhood friend Fiora, motivating Shulk to chase him down for revenge.

Trivia

Unused head icon.

• Metal Face has an unused head icon in the same style as Ridley, suggesting that at an earler point in development, KO'ing him would be worth a point in the same way. It may have also been meant to be an icon for an unused HP meter.
