I hope there's some way to have him pet Rush as a secret taunt.

I sure said that!

I wish Pharaoh Man were the assist trophy.

Kind of surprised the Mega Man Assist Trophy isn't Cut Man, Guts Man, or Proto Man.

I'm half-expecting a Proto Man alternate costume with other versions and a couple of Zeros filling in for the other Mega Men during the Final Smash.

I'd have liked it to be Roll, personally.

Or, yeah, Air Man.tongue

I expected Proto Man as an Assist Trophy, but he'll probably be a costume.

I was planning on maining Rock, but Zero Suit Samus just seems so much more badass than usual that I'll probably use her. Hnngh.

On trophies and what they prove: Aren't there also trophies of characters who are in the main roster? Even if that trophy from the Trophy Quiz WAS Palutena, that may not have meant anything about her chances.

[up]But you usually get those trophies from completing stuff like Classic and All-star mode which Sakurai confirmed is back since he said Assist Trophies will appear in All-star mode.

If Palutena was playable her trophy wouldn't be in the trophy quiz since I think that is how you get none playable characters.

Why wouldn't her player Trophy possibly be in the Trophy Quiz? You could get Dr. Mario's trophy in Melee outside of Classic/VS Matches, remember?

Regardless, it wasn't Palutena regular that was shown, just a specific variant of her.

Ok, time to be That Guy(tm) and poke holes in that alleged leak from a page or two ago:

Palutena and Chrom could just be coasting off of the most likely reps of their respective series. Palutena in particular is probably also there because of all the leak hype already surrounding her. That he doesn't specify what Pokemon is coming from X and Y just screams "I'm just gonna be as vague as possible about what Pokemon so that the only way I would be wrong is if there aren't any X/Y reps to begin with."

Shulk is probably there as the obligatory fan favorite pick with mid-to-low likelihood. Pac-Man is the most likely post-Sonic 3rd Party pick other than Snake, and Mii only started showing up in these kind of predictions/"leaks" after all the Mii-centered games started being repped with stages.

The only one I can't really knock is the Chorus Men (How on Earth would you be able to prove OR disprove a flippin' Rhythm Heaven rep, of all things), and even then it could just be the obligatory WTF guess that no one could see coming.

Don't get me wrong, I like these characters except for Shulk and Chorus Men which i'm indifferent to, i'm even actively rooting for Chrom and Pac-Man, but I want to be able to see the other side of things.

Him showing Palutena's trophy wouldn't prove much unless the trophy was too low-detail to be a playable fighter.

[up][up][up] Yep. Only case too.

In Melee, you can play as any character in VS and every 100 matches will get you a main Trophy in the order of Classic/Adventure/All-Star as well. Not applicable in Brawl.

It just occured to me; is Greninja's Final Smash Night Slash? To our ears, the move name seems perfectly fitting for a Spam Attack against a full moon backdrop, but I remember that in Japanese, the move name has nothing to do with nighttime, and translates more directly as "Crossroad Killing" or something like that.

It's the only remotely similar move Greninja learns, and a high crit move does communicate "ninja".

I had an odd idea: Would it be weird if the new All-Star mode made it so you fought fightable versions of the assists/pokemon?

Has anyone ever theorized the Smash Balls and Mega Stones were related or something?

Like I said before, I think it'll be more "Vs. Captain Falcon and a permanent Samurai Goroh assist" than anything else.

The problem with All Star mode is they're going to need to rebalance as the roster grows.

#40675: Apr 9th 2014 at 6:50:58 PM

You're not obligated to clear All-Star Mode with no continues used anyway, so they don't really NEED to rebalance it too much.
