I'd argue the issue is more that other series need to catch up first than that Zelda has too many, but yeah.

... Seriously, Sakurai, why isn't Mr. Sandman or Bald Bull or Glass Joe an assist?

I sure said that!

I like to think that if one boxer from Punch-Out was allowed to be an assist or full-on character, it would be King Hippo.

None of them would really make a good one, unless they got creative (like Andross, have the Punch Out foe in the background, swinging at fighters on the stage in the same patterns as their native game)

Bald Bull, I think, would be a pretty good match for what Mac was doing in Brawl. The Bull Charge in particular is pretty much perfect for an Assist Trophy - a telegraphed dash across the stage that does massive damage if connecting.

Speaking of, i got off a brilliantly poetic KO in 4-player For Glory as Kirby. Rarely do i use Kirby's neutral-b, unless there's someone in the mix with a neutral-b with a lot of killing power: Falcondorf, Little Mac, Samus, Lucario. I got a Little Mac, managed to copy him, blew him away with the charged neutral-b. Suckerpunched him at a distance.

Rarely do i taunt (don't want to feel like i'm rubbing it in if i'm doing well enough to feel like taunting in the first place), but i just had to...

Having to fight on the Paper Mario stage with Little Mac: Your humanity
Your friend winning a timed match by running out the clock by being high up in the air: Your friendship
Using Side-B on someone who tried to gimp you and K.Oing them just before you fall to your death: Priceless

Not all of Mac's faults can be easily solved but for everything else, especially telegraphed ground attacks like the bull charge, there's counter.

I was kinda hoping for King Hippo as a boss... although Bald Bull or Mr. Sandman would also be acceptable. I'm not a huge fan of King Hippo. He just seems like a natural pick for a boss in Smash who represents Punch-Out.

And nobody suggested Super Macho Man as an assist why?

If the other Punch Out characters were in the game, they'd be insane Game Breakers. Mr. Sandman would probably just end the game with whoever summoned him winning.

Mewtwo is Purposely Overpowered in his home series, yet bottom-tier in Melee. In a one-on-one match, Olimar is likely to defeat Ganondorf. And so on.

Yeah, if all the characters were to actually go at in a no-holds barred Battle Royale type showdown, I'm pretty sure Rosalina would win.

[down] Ganondorf can't be on that list if Link isn't on that list since he's canonically beaten him, and his One-Winged Angel form, every time.

[down] Zedla 1 has Link beat Ganon without the Master Sword. And he has the Triforce of Courage which is pretty much the definition of God-like power.

#66471: Dec 22nd 2014 at 4:34:10 PM

I dunno. Rosalina doesn't seem all that powerful for a deity-like being. She doesn't do anything in Galaxy 1, and in Galaxy 2 she wasn't able to escape Bowser. And in 3D World, the extent of her power is being able to use the Spin Jump. She seems more like just an overwatcher type than anyone with significant power.

The most powerful characters in this game are probably Samus, Ness, Palutena, Shulk, and Ganondorf, in no specific order.

[up]Being able to beat someone doesn't make you more powerful than them, this isn't Dragonball Z. tongue

Link is just a very skilled and courageous swordsman armed with Ganondorf's one weakness. He doesn't possess godlike power.

Actually, in Zelda 1 Ganon's weakness isn't the Master Sword at all, but the Silver Arrows. And I'm pretty sure those are necessary to beat Ganon in that game, but I'm not 100% on that, so correct me if I'm wrong.

Nope, you're right about the silver arrows. Totally forgot about those tongue

After some thinking though, I remember you can beat Ganon in the Oracle games without the Silver Arrows or the Master Sword, just Link being a beast.

[up][up][up]I say being able to press the Reset Button on the cosmos and having gone through the rebirth of the universe several times puts Rosalina very high up also. Not to mention that cosmos gown too.
