Mario Strikers: Battle League’s first free update is coming on July 21, 6PM PT and promises new characters in the form of Daisy and Shy Guy as well as a new gear set and a new stadium!

• Daisy is a high-technique character who seems to be pretty hard to knock down.
• Shy Guy is a balanced character (all stats are in the 12-13 range) who seems dependent on gear choices to shine in a specific area.
• Knight Gear: Increases Strength and Shooting while decreasing Speed and Technique.
• New Stadium: Desert Ruin. Use it for quick matches or set it as your club stadium. The stadium’s second rank will cost 10,000 bolts while the third rank will cost 100,000.
