Pic of the day. I, Takamaru, have waited many years to appear in Super Smash Bros.! Link, Samus, Pit, and I debuted in the same year! Multidirectional Pinwheel Knife Rook Attack!! (FYI, I'm an Assist Trophy.)

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! [lol]

...At least he is in the game sad

Maybe I should wish Sukapon to be assist trophy at least and then he would be playable and I'd be happy tongue

But yeah, Little Mac started out as assist trophy, so maybe next time if there is fifth Smash eventually...

What if there was a mod that let you play as Assist Trophies...

I'd be Saki.

Sorry for double posting but could you imagine if the next 35 pics leading up to the Japanese release were all deconfirmations? And the final pic is of Ridley.

[up] No. This week is the Week of Disconfirmation except the Friday picture which confirms Mr. Game & Watch.

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!

Clearly, this means Mach Rider will be filling in as the obscure NES character.

I sure said that!

Clearly Ness should have been the Assist Trophy instead.

Sucks for Takamuru fans (myself included sad) that he's AT this time. Ah well, maybe he'll get his chance if and when 5ma5h rolls around...

@Pulse: Mach Rider would actually be a pretty cool addition to the roster if s/he was included.

Sorry Takamaru supporters. He would have been cool, being a samurai and all.

I wanted Takamaru as a playable character but maybe next time.

I can still hope for Prince Richard or Prince of Sablé from For the Frog the Bell Tolls. Sure they both wield swords but they turn into Frogs. Prince of Sablé can voluntarily transform into a Frog or a Snake.

Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre Adventure

Dang. I wanted a Samurai in the game. We got enough Ninjas already.

He was the star of a Japan-only Famicom game, Mystery of Murasame Castle, which was based on the same engine as The Legend of Zelda- He is to Link as Pit is to Samus, and his game is well-remembered in Japan despite only very recently being released on the international Virtual Console.
Hm. Sort of makes him like Getsu Fuma of Konami fame then (largely obscure character that no one outside of Japan knew of until he made reappearances in more recent media). I heard a lot of people started looking into Takamaru due to his appearance in Warriors Orochi and Nintendo Land, so I don't know how known he was prior to those appearances.

I checked out a full playthrough of his game once. He seems to have a lot of potential to be a decent Smasher, but I suppose we'll just have to be content with him getting in as an Assist Trophy.

The situation feels similar to Little Mac in Brawl, except magnified by Takamaru's game only being available in Japan for a significant period, as opposed to Punch-Out being available in all regions but only popular in one. Regardless, I wouldn't be surprised to see him be promoted in SSB 5.

Well that's another character deconfirmation. Shame too. I really like his design.
