Assist Trophy Ideas

[DragonSniperNintendo]

Recently I made a table of 40 Assist Trophy ideas, and felt like start to post those ideas here for you all to see. I will only post a few at a time as to not make large posts.

AT Ideas #1-9
Kachi, Elite Beat Agents, Karis, Groose, Spirit Toon Zelda, Reyn, Epona, Dark Lord Gaol, & Team Star Fox

Thoughts?

I approve of all the Zelda ATs. I'm not familiar with most of the others, but they all sound like good ideas.

Two things though.

1: Gaol shouldn't attack Kid Icarus characters specifically or turn on them, it would give to much of a disadvantage to the Kid Icarus characters.

2: The Starfox Team should be very rare, like Mr. Resseti rare.

Well the Gaol attacking the Kid Icarus idea was just a though, kind of to make it stand out. It brings disadvantage because it would be bad for them, but I added it for the sake of being different.

Epona is taller than Link so this could be hilarious. A few of these do more things than the average assist trophy should, like Reyn. You're already close to a full character with that trophy. The Team Starfox would be cool, but it could only work on certain stages. I think a distress beacon should pop out of the trophy and then they fly in. The Groosenator is okay but he lasts too long. The Elite Beat Agents effect is pretty funny, too bad all the animation work would preclude it. Spirit Toon Zelda looks interesting on paper but I think would be hard to make work effectively without feeling like essentially another Elite Beat effect. I don't know what to say about the rest, I am not familiar with their IP.

@Quilt

I think ATs, at least certain ones, should do more that just what Brawl did with them. Go more in detail, have them do more things.

Also here are a few more

AT Ideas #10-18

Majora, Captain Linebeck, Mona, Tempo, Sakura Samurai, Dunban, Andy/Sami/Max, Phosphora, and Tom Nook

Tom Nook is an awesome idea

 

[DragonSniperNintendo]

Some more

Cranky Kong, Elena, Nintencat, Starman, Dr. Kawashima, Duck Hunt Dog, and Roll

 

[D-idara]

Platinum Robo, the PR flies behind the stage and starts preparing an attack, shooting a W-shaped rainbow beam a few seconds afterwards that has ridiculous knockback and damage, the beam will follow whoever summoned Platinum Robo, making for some awesome situations.

 

[Triblaze]

There must be the elite beat agents. That is all.

I'm liking these ideas. Nintencat and Roll melted my heart d'awwww I want them~

I'd like to see Anna from Fire Emblem appear as an Assist Trophy. She'd run around with her swag bag just snatching up any items she finds and then tossing random ones here and there as she goes. Of course, she signs off with her trademark wink and finger-on-the-lip pose.

I'd also like to see Kraid from Metroid just for a laugh. He'd act akin to his appearance in Melee's Brinstar Depths, just wandering around in the background and occasionally taking a swipe at players.

While we're at it, Pyrrhon from Kid Icarus. Much like Phosphora, he flies about the stage launching fire blasts at the players. Triumphant laughter and general obnoxious self-announcement welcomed.

I rather like the idea that Cranky Kong's cane would actually damage you if it hit - a nice touch! I can even see it being an instant KO in the vein of baseball bat or Judge 9, just for the sheer audacious hilarity of it all. If Donkey Kong has lent us any valuable moral considerations, it's not to take your elders lightly. Wooden canes hurt, y'know?

So Sakurai said assist trophies will play into all-star mode, what if you have to face assist trophy characters along with playable fighter characters from each series? They would have health bars similar to those of bosses in Brawl .

Then Anna and Cranky Kong will destroy us all.
