Who Thinks Ancient Minister could be playable?

This is presumably the final boss of the game. Maybe after you unlock everything else and beat him he becomes playable. His icon would be the Smash Bros. symbol. He would walk by hovering over the ground and possibly float like Peach if you hold jump. I don't know what else he would do, but he obviously has moves if he's the final boss.

Right behind you with a knife.
In his current form, I'd have to say no. He has no arms, or legs, and thus would only be possible as some type of boss. Then again, who knows if that's his true form or not. :O

I'm still going to say it's doubtful even he does change.

Actually.... I can very well see Sakurai adding a playable character whose icon is the Smash symbol, definitely. It would establish Smash Bros as a complete series, really...

But, I would rather think the Ancient Minister would have to be in a different form to be playable. Not the way we see him in the trailer...

Those red pointy things could be his arms. Also, he carries that bomb in the video underneath him, he could hold items like that too.

I don't think that would be a good idea. The slots should be saved for Nintendo superstars, not to create new characters. I think playing him in debug mode is good enough; he doesn't deserve a playable character slot.

the only reason I say no, is because I want his moves to be so over powered that beating him in adventure mode will be a real challenge with real satisfaction

It seems like this whole Petey thing started: "If he's a boss character he's playable" "Why make a moveset for him if he's not"

Honestly I don't see him as playable, it seems to be like the Master Hand of Adventure Mode(boss wise)

We aren't talking about Petey, we're talking about Ancient Minister. AM is different in that he's not a boss, he's the boss. As the final boss of the game(which is what it seems like he is), he has more signifigance then throw away characters like Petey Pirahna who are just used to recreate boss battles from their own games. If you think about it, he looks like he's around the same size as the other playable characters and he's human shaped. He's not a giant hand. He looks like he could be playable to me. That doesn't mean he will be, I'm just saying he could be.

I kinda think the appearance we have seen of him so far is... like... a outer shell. Something wicked awesome is probably on the inside.

Theres obviously more than meets the eye with AM, I kinda want to see at least one Smash original as a PC.

A character with Smash origins would be alright, but this one would just be lame. he doesn't even have any arms or legs.. why would you want to play as him?

i hope he'll be playable, a character with smash origins, for the first time (master hand was in kirby first)
Actually, I'm pretty sure that Master Hand was in Smash Bros first. The first Kirby game I saw him in was the Amazing Mirror which came out after. Plus, if you didn't notice, Kirby has the exact same moves when he swallows Master Hand in that game as he has as his default moves in Melee. And the name of the ability is SMASH...

I think it's a pretty safe bet.
