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.
Souleye - PPPPPP - Potential for Anything 3DS FC: 2621-3105-8671Speaking 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...
It's always very hard for me not to taunt after scoring a K.O.
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.

Souleye - PPPPPP - Potential for Anything 3DS FC: 2621-3105-8671I 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.

"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyI find myself S Ding with the Drill move a lot more. I oftentimes don't even use his down-B.
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.

"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."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.
"What's out there? What's waiting for me?"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.
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.
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.

Souleye - PPPPPP - Potential for Anything 3DS FC: 2621-3105-8671I 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.
Being able to beat someone doesn't make you more powerful than them, this isn't Dragonball Z.
Link is just a very skilled and courageous swordsman armed with Ganondorf's one weakness. He doesn't possess godlike power.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Nope, you're right about the silver arrows. Totally forgot about those
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.

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.

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!
