Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

@2Sang Why not make your final judgement when the game(s) comes out?

judging fighting games over story, lololol

Alright, so Assist Trophies are back. Excellent news! Not to mention the fact that not only did Sakurai confirm them, but he did so with a new one! Skull Kid looks great in HD and I can't wait to see what he does. Now at least all the people wanting him playable have some closure.

Also, I found it funny that Sakurai made it very clear he wasn't a new fighter, but an Assist Trophy. He knew what he was doing.

Wow, he looks too nice to be just an assist trophy. Now I wish he was a playable character

I very nearly flipped out with excitement. Damn.

oh man... NO!
why not a playable character? i was so happy when i saw the picture

if he's an assist trophy... then it's impossible for him to get introduced as a playable character, right?

REALLY disappointed...

@kkslider exactly

Who thought Assists would actually be cut? If anyone did... go sit in the corner and think about your life

What new Assist Trophies awaits.

Little Mac better not be an assist trophy this time.

Wow, look great in HD. Pretty interesting reveal, even if it is an assist trophy.

so now we're not allowed to be disappointed that he's not a playable character?
it's how we feel and we're allowed to share our opinions on this topic

and why should i be glad that he's in the game as an assist trophy? that's not what i wanted, so i'm not happy

Fan boys will be fan boys.

Skull Kid wouldn't really be considered popular enough to be a playable character. The only other character from the Zelda series that I think they should add is probably Tingle. Zelda and Link will ALWAYS be reps for the Zelda series. I think Ganondorf could be replaced or altered if they really think he should be. Shiek is basically gone from the series, too. Being only in 1 Zelda game ever, I don't see how Zelda's alter form fits in anymore. That's just me, though.

I definitely think Little Mac should be playable, though. He's had more games than Ice Climbers and his games are in the fighting genre. As for anyone else, I really couldn't guess 100%, but I can assure you that Skull Kid not being playable isn't surprising for alot, if not most of us.

EDIT: NVM what I said about Ganondorf. As long as he has his "swine" fimal smash, most of the Demise ego is there besides Vaati. All those evil entities derive from 1 entity.

Even if he was a character, I doubt they could come up with a move set for him. He just didn't really do anything in Majora's Mask

I'm perfectly fine with him being an Assist Trophy. Seeing him will be that much more enjoyable since he'll only appear now and then, and he'll likely bring the moon along for the ride! I'm also glad to see some more Majora's Mask representation in Smash. Brawl had vitually nothing relating to the game compared to Melee.

Skull Kid. The perfect choice for showing off the assist trophies in this game for the first time! (At least, I think so.)

Actually, I agree with every character you just said.

I would rather have Tails be the assist than Shadow, though.

I'd like to see Resseti return, too. That crazy ol' mole.

Hmm... How about Dillon from Dillon's Rolling Western, or Mallow from Pushmo and Crashmo?

Actually if given the choice I'd rather have Dillon as playable. For one thing he's from a new IP, plus he could represent the eShop. The downside is his moveset would be similar to Sonic's.

A Push/Crashmo stage would be cool though.
