That was probably a poorly worded way of saying "If three people gang up on one person for an entire free for all match in order to grief them."

It's a small thing, but I really appreciate that the Halberd and Jungle Japes got updated to match the artstyles of the game instead of just being copypasted in like in Melee and Brawl.

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here. Perhaps this is an answer to those "taunt parties" you'd see online in Brawl, where people who just stood there taunting would gang up on someone who wanted to play the game normally.

I hope so. Those people were the worst. Wii's online was bad enough without them. I didn't need taunt spammers on top of it.

Gonna be honest, I'm really gonna miss the Trainer. He was a really unique character gimmick and (if you took out Stamina), having essentially three different fighting styles in one character made him super-versatile. Not to mention he was a perfect representation of the Pokémon franchise--you're a kid controlling a legion of super-powerful beasts, making split-second decisions about your team on the fly, and he was exactly that.
He was my first main in Brawl, too, so I have a lot of fond memories of competing in tournaments with him, too.

But, well, no more transformation characters means no more transformation characters, I guess. :(

Motto

I liked the idea of having multiple characters on hand, but the way it turned out I really only used one for the most of a match, especially in Brawl when the transformation times got longer. I'm far happier with each character having a full special set now.

I can't believe this didn't occur to me earlier, but I just realized that if Proto Man is going to be in this game at all, then he really needs to be an Assist Trophy. Because that's pretty much what Proto Man's character is. He is Mega Man's personal Assist Trophy. It is his purpose, his very reason for living. To make him anything more than an Assist Trophy would violate the very essence of his being.

Bass, on the other hand, would be a fine Newcomer addition to the playable character roster. He's got a lot of great potential for a unique moveset, and he's got Treble to act as his counterpart to Rush.


I am still holding out hope that we may see Zero in this game in one form or another. At this point I don't really care whether he's a playable character or an Assist Trophy... as long as he makes it into the game as either of those, I'm happy.

Only if he does the whistle when he appears.

Well yeah, I mean, obviously. That almost goes without saying.

We're probably only getting one Megaman assist, though, and it's Elec Man.

Which is hardly a bad thing, because Elec Man rocks.

Was there an announcement about this that I missed?

The reality of characters like Zelda/Sheik is that people preferred to only use one of them. The idea of a transforming character was neat in theory but it didn't pan out in practice, so the decision to split is good.

In the section about Smash Run he does compare the random fighter part to a "simple online match".

Elec Man was in the Assist Trophy montage, he just got overshadowed by Pong.

I may have shed a tear at this. This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life, I don't even have to play the game now, I can die now.

Also, I love each of the troll moments in the Direct, they all got me pretty good. At least the ones that I caught when I wasn't freaking out in the IRC chat. What was there besides "Zero Suit Samus is now gone please understand NOPE JUST KIDDING" and "Trophy is totally Palutena, righNOPE IT'S PSEUDO-PALUTENA"

The pseudo-Palutena assist trophy is interesting and ensures that her rumoured appearance will continue to grow, have they ever included an assist trophy so similar to someone on the roster?
They did show Dark Samus is an assist trophy now so it wouldn't really mean anything

edit-
Also I wonder if the Smash pros will have to get a bunch of the modded 3DSes to record fights during the time before the WiiU version is released.

If it works like a blue shell from Mario Kart, it should fly around and home in on whichever player is in the lead.

On another note, this is the list of characters from Brawl who haven't been confirmed as returning.

quote:

Ike
Lucas
MetaKnight
Wario
Ice Climbers
Capt Falcon
Falco
Ganon
Jigglypuff
Game+Watch
Ness
Snake
Wolf

I'm guessing that Ike will get replaced by Chrom or Avatar from Awakening, but who else isn't likely to make the cut? I could see Falco or Wolf (or both) getting left out, since Star Fox isn't really a big enough franchise to support three characters. Especially with the newly-announced special move customization system, which may be used to give Falco/Wolf's special moves to Fox.

Metroid already has three separate assist trophies in the Wii U version, so I don't think we should necessarily assume Mega Man can't get a second.

In fact looking at some of these items, assist trophies and character reveals, we really shouldn't assume anything based on some arbitrary assumed rule based on the patterns of previous games when they they more often than not keep proving those notions wrong.

I am baffled by the amount of Mario Kart items that seemed to have made it in though.

I don't think it was an assist trophy, just a regular trophy. There have been varied-appearance trophies of fighters before.

Honestly if they add some skins, you could just flat out add the custom movesets you want to Fox and make him whoever you want. I bet you can give Mario back his tornado down b if you want, or maybe the pills if you want.
