Assist Trophies in All-Star Mode

[wizardto1]

So in the Smash Direct, Sakurai said that assist trophies "will figure into All-Star Mode".
So what does that mean?
I had a idea.
So the number of assist trophies will equal the number of characters, and in All-Star mode an assist trophy will assigned to a character whether its from their series or just fits with the character. For example, Link will assigned with Midna, Zelda with Skull Kid, Ganondorf with Ghirahim, Toon Link with Tingle, and Sheik with Takamaru due to the whole ninja samurai thing. So in the mode, by inputing certain buttons, the character with summon the assigned assist trophy without the need of an item. However, you can only do that 5 times in the mode.

But what's your idea?

Bonus hazards as part of that "use coins to ramp up the challenge" stuff. For instance, fighting Team Star Fox with Andross constantly spewing tiles at you, or fighting Captain Falcon while Goroh constantly chases you around with a katana.

That is actually a pretty good idea. And we could have Waluigi just chasing you until You are KO'd because he is still trying too hard.

Imagine if the same applies for Pokéballs and Master Balls as well. The horror it could cause...

Others could include (just using the Brawl ATs) Jeff firing rockets while you fight Ness, Hammer Bros throwing things while you fight Bowser, Knuckle Joe while against Kirby, Little Mac oh wait, Lyn periodically targeting the player (with or without a warning), the Super Metroid fighting you with Samus, Resetti impairing your vision against Villager, and so on.

The only problem I see with this is that some series don't have assist trophies yet but I guess we can use assist trophies from other series like Dillon helping DK and Diddy Kong

Maybe that's why Waluigi was reclassified into the Wario series.

I think it will take a long time for you to complete all-star if you have 50 characters.

I think it meant like this game is all about Nintendo and it's all star cast of characters and that there'd be no way they all could be playable so it's the next best thing.

 

[TJ-Works]

So theoretically, if the assist trophies and/or pokeballs were hazards in this Adventure Mode, who releases them? Do they open their own doors? Do basic enemies activate them?

...Master Hand?

No, I specifically remember him saying that they'd factor into all star mode.

Starts at 14:31

Honestly, I still think he just meant that figuratively.

He meant that he (Sakurai) and the fellow programmers and developers going to "All Star Mode" when choosing these characters, in order to pick the characters that plenty people are fans of and have some following and bring best selection of them. Which is why they try to include as many as possible. He didn't even say explicitly "the" before saying "All Star Mode".

I think trying to push this in a literal meaning is once again twisting Sakurai's words. I suggest not getting your hopes up.

Actually, could anyone with fluent Japanese check the Japanese equivalent video for this quote? It'd give full clafirication on this matter, as this has been put around the same way everywhere, yet none is even sure.

This is a good idea! Maybe if it's on level ten difficulty there will be TWO assist trophies from that series.

LoZ would be brutal...

I'm imagining three Androsses shooting tiles at me now. And Girahaim and Midna both running around attacking me.

Of course, nothing says All Star will be multiple characters vs you like it was in other games. It could be a bit different while still incorporating a full-roster lineup.

Which reminds me... we're gonna have a ton of characters to fight...

Lol, TWO TINGLES dropping hammers everywhere!

No mention of Assist Trophies. No pictures. No description referring to them.

Also appears a streamlined version of Brawl's All-Star mode.

Told ya.

Maybe you should wait until the game releases before you give the told yas.
although I kinda agree
