I'm not sure what it means for the assist trophies since they "couldn't quite make it in as playable characters".
People thought she was a joke character? She looks pretty balanced to me."villager and trainer were not choices we made for the sake of cheap novelty"
Straight from the horse's mouth. WFT =/= joke character.
The casual side of Nintendo?Don't forget what WFT is suppose to represent

I think it's more likely that there simply wasn't enough time to implement some character ideas so they made them into Assist Trophies. I wanna say Saki is a likely prime example.I guess they tried them out, had reasons or another to not include them, and then put them as these sort of items.
Maybe an inner project inside Brawl's development of it's own?

Like she'll be the only WTF character. Ha. 1, 1 doesn't this remind you guys of any sequence? It's Fibonacci yo. Which means we have one more WTF character to go.Well, obviously Sakurai doesn't pick characters like G&W, R.O.B. and WFT just to troll. She's definitely still the "WTF" pick, though.
No, that isn't how we define WTF. Thinly veiled character hatred detected.Well, if we define "WTF" as "unexpected, unwanted, and controversial" R.O.B. was the only true WTF character in Brawl, right? Am I forgetting somebody? I know PT was unexpected, but he was very much so welcomed.
No no, I'm saying since there was 1 in Melee, and 1 in Brawl, by the Fibonacci sequence which is (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...) there will be two in this game. The reason I said this in response to your comment was because one of your previous comments suggested that WFT was the WTF character of this game. My point is that she is not alone.Well, if we define "WTF" as "unexpected, unwanted, and controversial" R.O.B. was the only true WTF character in Brawl, right? Am I forgetting somebody?

Technically speaking, the Wii Fit Trainer is the WFT character of this game.No no, I'm saying since there was 1 in Melee, and 1 in Brawl, by the Fibonacci sequence which is (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...) there will be two in this game.

I talked about this in another thread but I think the personalities of the characters matter more to Sakurai than their moveset potential in the grand scheme of things.He's going for interesting, and if a character (well-received or not) doesn't bring anything to the table in their own right, he's not interested.
Not that I could really point out any specific character that fits this role, considering he considers Fox-Falco-Wolf to have their own merits despite being based off of one another.
yeah, I saw that. I also laughed at that.Anybody else chuckle at him implying that MvC wasn't creative with megaman? I liked that comment.

Don't you dare call the Fibonacci sequence "some superstitious sequence" to a mathematician. That's like stacking a poker deck in Texas: you'll get shot that way.How would someone be entitled on some superstitious sequence without knowing it...
ROFL!!!!!I'm more interested in the comments below the article, particularly this one

I hope people eventually realize there isn't a such thing as a "joke" character in the smash series.WFT =/= joke character.
Sakurai managed to create creative movesets for Wii Fit Trainer, Ice Climbers, Captain Falcon, and R.O.B., so I'm sure he can create some for Little Mac. He actually has a lot of variety in his combat in the two punchout games, so I wouldn't count Little Mac out of the running.Most important part of that for me:
"On the other hand, even if you have a character suited for a fighting game, if you can't make him stick out from the pack and extract something unique from him, then what can you do?"
This is why I don't want Little Mac in Sm4sh, and this would seem to apply to him fairly well.
I think the point of that line was that even fighting game characters still have to fit in the diversity of another game's roster. A roster of the different shotos in fighting games wouldn't be a diverse game.Most important part of that for me:
