Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - August 21st

[zeldasmash]

One of the most disappointing PotD so far, if not THE most disappointing. The fact that Toon Link is playable over Midna and now GHIRAHIM just makes me feel empty. As a Ghirahim supporter i am crushed.

 

[BigShad]

It is I, Demon Lord Ghirahim, here to make an appearance in Super Smash Brothers!

(FYI, I'm an Assist Trophy.)

 

[D-idara]

Looks like the only Zelda reps will be Link, Zelda, Shiek, Ganondorf, and Toon Link. Not only am I heartbroken, I'm pissed off. Ghirahim was the only character I wanted playable, and he had the biggest chance as a Zelda rep. I blame Toon Link's existence. I hate him even more now. Why keep a clone of Link over Ghirahim, Sakurai? What the hell? #thebutthurtisreal

Sorry...Wind Waker > Skyward Sword. One does not simply hate the only protagonist who did all this for an actual reason, rather than to keep some celestial balance.

 

[Phaazoid]

Another one bites the dust

Although compared to the release in three weeks, this is a drop in the bucket

 

[KidKrimzon]

I just want to mention, that stage in the background looks super sck

 

[Neerb]

I know there were a ton of Ghirahim supporters, so it sucks for them, but frankly I'm glad he's not playable. He's only been in one real Zelda game, and while that certainly hasn't stopped Shiek or the Fire Emblem cast, I'd prefer potential Zelda newcomers to be more established characters. That said, Vaati's series is looong over and Impa doesn't stand much of a chance while Shiek is still around, so I think we're only going to have the 5 standard Zelda characters. At least Shiek and Zelda got separated and fleshed-out (wait, that sounds gross) so that it seems like we got a newcomer. Now if only Sakurai would give Toon Link his own moves...

 

[NATGamer]

It's sad when a Zelda character who's an assist trophy deserved a spot more than Falcon...I mean Ganondorf.

 

[YoshiandToad]

Poor KeniththeGatherer.

 

[D-idara]

It's sad when a Zelda character who's an assist trophy deserved a spot more than Falcon...I mean Ganondorf.

Yeah, a one-off deserves the spot more than Zelda's main villain...

 

[itsameluigi1290]

Not a character I really wanted to be playable, but I know he was a really wanted character. My condolences.

Now I just want Sakurai to show Isaac as an Assist Trophy soon since I'm really starting to doubt he'll be playable. ;-;

 

[smashbroskilla]

Another assist trophy pics of the day I'll never use... :yawn:

 

[Trigger123]

I kind of wanted him but was not my most wanted I still got ridley and k rool. It really limit who another zelda newcomer could be

 

[NATGamer]

Yeah, a one-off deserves the spot more than Zelda's main villain...

Yeah totally. Especially when Ganondorf doesn't have his own moveset and is a lazy Captain Falcon clone.

 

[Deleted member]

As much as I would have loved to play as Ghirahim, I assumed from the beginning that he would be an assist trophy. There was no chance that he was going to replace Ganondorf. If they included both Ganon and Ghirahim that would mark the first time in Smash history that 2 true villains from the same series would be on the roster, which is something I don't think the developers would want to do.

 

[DrizzyDrew]

meh I never wanted him to be playable anyway. Atleast he is in, in some form

 

[Gene]

It's funny how people are going to try and blame Toon Link for taking Giggleham's spot on the roster or that he's more deserving when Sakurai stated way back that he thought a child Link in the game is important. Toon Link is also the main character of several games, but I can agree that I expected Toon Link to get a bit of a revamp with his move set this time around. But he's still different from Link regardless.

 

[KenboCalrissian]

I just want to mention, that stage in the background looks super sck

That's the Elite 4 Chamber from Pokemon X/Y. I can't recall the stage's actual name though. And yeah, it looks awesome.

 

[Weavile's Wrath]

I dunno why people are saying that people who wanted Ghirahim in wanted him over Ganondorf. I know I wanted both...

 

[Zenmaioh]

lol and people actually thought he was gonna be playable?

 

[ShortPat]

Noo... Well hopefully there will still be at least one non-triforce character from Zelda on the roster...

 

[New_Dumal]

No Ghirahim... no like this.
Hurts more when I think about Mii FIghters.

And I don't get this thing with "Ghirahim don't deserve" or "Ghirahim is just in one game", because Greninja. And please don't say "But Greninja is in Pokemon X AND Pokemon Y".
The unique villain that I liked in the entire Zelda franchise is out.
At least we not receive a "Maybe I will get my chance another day" in a Impa cutscene.

 

[KirbyFan5o]

Well, I guess this deconfirms any Zelda newcomer, as I feel Girahim was the one with the biggest chance to join the battle

IMPA IS STILL A POSSIBILITY! even if sakurai didn't know about hyrule warriors, he could've still thought about skyward sword for a move set.

 

[Comet7]

Looks like the only Zelda reps will be Link, Zelda, Shiek, Ganondorf, and Toon Link. Not only am I heartbroken, I'm pissed off.

Why keep a clone of Link over Ghirahim, Sakurai? What the hell? #thebutthurtisreal

you're acting like they're both equally hard to make. With Ghirahim, sakurai would have to start from scratch. Toon link already had a defined moveset and all that other good stuff.

 

[Trickerhere]

Sakurai the master troll

 

[HugoBoss]

Well, this stinks.

 

[Uffe]

So cool that he quoted straight from the game !

A wild GHIRAHIM appeared. GHIRAHIM used LICK. It's super effect!

 

[Norm]

I'm not surprised. This was expected for me. Ghirahim was a cool character but only in the one game as a supporting villain so it's not surprising that he's an AT.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Yay! I am really glad he's not playable. He didn't deserve it. It's cool to have a new assist though. Sorry to his supporters.

 

[KirbyFan5o]

Sort of does if the character limit per franchise will be five. And by the looks of things I doubt we'll get a sixth Mario character and Jigglypuff and Ganondorf are bound to return, making Nintendo's biggest money making franchises have more reps than any other in Smash. That is why Toon Link's inclusion annoys me yet again because he's a clone and has wasted a spot where a unique character could've taken, like Ghirahim. Come to think of it, Link has a had an exact clone of him for three games now. At least Falco and Ganondorf aren't the exact same person as Fox and Captain Falcon.

But I may be wrong, and there may not be a limit of characters per franchise. I really hope this is the case in the end.

who said the limit was 5 per franchise? mario will only get five because we don't need anyone else. we have our 4 main characters, and our additional 1 to spice up the roster. zelda we'll have our 5 long time veterans and/or main characters plus we'll get one additional newcomer to spice up the roster. and as for pokemon, we don't have any main characters, and we technically did have 6 pokemon in brawl, so why can't it have 6 again to properly represent the franchise? there's only two characters that are long time veterans and/or main characters, and the rest are just the more popular out of the rest of the 721 choices, so i think it's okay to add 6 pokemon.

 

[KirbyFan5o]

Well... Many people is angry about this? Prepare yourself for the announce of Ridley as a stage hazard

says the guy who doesn't know what grammar is.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Relevant

 

[Pikmin1211]

RIP in pizzas Gihrahim. Although I personally cared more when they deconfirmed Waluigi and Skull Kid.
And when they deconfirm Ridley.
But if Chibi-Robo, Louie, or Shadow Mario are assist trophies... ;-;

 

[S_B]

Vaati technically deserves it more as he's been in mutiple LoZ games.

Also, I don't think the Zelda franchise deserves two villains when many others don't yet have ONE...

 

[infomon]

Wait, people wanted that thing to be playable?

blech!

 

[iiGGYxD]

I actually shed a tear when I read this post....my dreams crushed in front of me....;(

 

[DrizzyDrew]

Ghirahim is too BIGG!!

Having 6 pokemon makes sense since you can build a full team with them hahah

Anyway, my condolences to Ghirahim supporters. Including many friends of mine who wanted him.

 

[MugenLord]

He was on my wanted list as well, but I wanted him along side Gannondorf. This game lacks a variety of villains, but oh well I guess.

 

[Ryan.]

Ouch. I'm sorry to all his supporters out there. Maybe Impa will be joining us though, who knows.

 

[MugenLord]

Well, I'll be damned! Demon Lord Ghirahim made it to Smash Bros. as an Assist Trophy character though I still didn't understand why some people would want to see him replace Ganondorf, who happens to be the Zelda series' main villain. That's like saying they should replace Zelda with Princess Hilda...but hey, at least he's in the game now so those of y'all who wanted him in should be thankful, playable or not.

P.S. I personally prefer Groose over him though.

Who said they wanted him to replace him with Gannondorf, since I've been here I never seen any such comments. I just don't see why he couldn't have been added in as another villain to the series because we are surely lacking some in that department.
