AT Character Prediction Thread!!

This list is to predict AT's that I personally would think make a great addition to Brawl. While they may or may not appear as AT's in the game, perhaps making an appearance as a sticker or regular trophy, I still hope for these guys! Being an AT is a very precious spot in Brawl, right under actually being playable in the game. It's almost an honor to be an AT, and most characters are lucky for even being noticed and being honored by having the grace of being an AT.

Many of you may not know, but I've predicted a few ATs in the past, sometimes even silently. Way in the past, I always knew that characters like Lyn or Samurai Goroh had hardly a chance in Brawl. When the concept of an AT was introduced, it gave characters that would be terrible if playable a chance to actually shine in Brawl like Stafy or Lyn for example. Ever since then, I always looked forward the each AT and always hoped for such characters like Saki and Little Mac become AT as they never deserved a spot as playable, and behold, Sakurai has done so. It makes me feel estatic about it.

A while back, on Serebii.net forums I got into a big fight with some kid who was determined to have Stafy in, and I said multiple times he'll probably be an AT months before this recent confirmation. I firmly knew that such a character wouldn't get a playable spot in Brawl but has merits enough to at least shine as an AT. And to my joy, my dream came true.

So I shall predict more! Any thoughts and whatnot is fine, I suggest you leave as much comments as you can as I would like to see your thoughts. I will update every so often like my past character thread (which I might revive later).

Ashley



Ashley, a character with a cult following in Japan. A gothic lolita, of course this is going to make pedophiles and otaku just drool as they see her!

Due to her popularity, people somehow think she deserves a spot in Brawl even though her popularity is quite new in both America and Japan. I don't think that. Realistically she's one of the many minor characters in the Warioware series, with characters like Mona or Jimmy T. being a lot more important in the series rather than her and many other characters. Not that much merit for playable, really.

But! I think Sakurai knows she's popular, and honestly if he didn't he wouldn't be a very good developer. So to reconize her and put her in a suiting place in Brawl, being an AT is perfect and very suiting for Ashley, a character that doesn't deserve to be playable.​

Roy



Roy, star of Fire Emblem 6. Although he was in Melee, it's been pretty much obvious that such a terrible clone is gonna just be out of Brawl. Srsly, no one wants this piece of garbage in, and I'm one of them.

However, like all other unimportant Fire Emblem, as shown with Lyn, they're gonna be in Brawl somehow even though they would be terrible choices for a character. Roy, while not deserving as a character this time around, could possibly become an AT. That would be very fitting for him, he'll do a giant version of that charge up thing he does in Melee where he lets out a burst of fire.​

Lucario



Okay, he's not an AT, you got me!

Although essentially he's the same concept as this supports him as a pokeball. So why not, eh?

Lucario, mistaken by many to be the mascot of the 4th generation and a Pokemon based off Anubis, very popular and overrated. Although he's extremely popular and even stars in his own movie, his importance in the whole series rivals the importance of Darkrai in the anime, while in the games his importance is the same as Snorlax's. Even then, though, when it comes as a whole Lucario isn't that important.

However, Sakurai knows his popularity. He knows Lucario is big. This is clearly shown as he knew of Meowth's and Deoxys' popularity, so why not Lucario's? And because of this, since Lucario doesn't warrant a deserving spot in the roster, he'll be perfect as a pokeball Pokemon, a very fitting place for this Pokemon.​

Paper Mario



Paper Mario, a character from the popular and awesome Paper Mario series. Although he would be a very unique character, he, as a whole, hasn't really done much with Nintendo history. And not only that, but we already have Mario, no need for another despite if he's not a clone. But, he is quite a popular choice.

And for the fact that he's actually popular, I think he should have a spot as an AT in Brawl. I can imagine it, he comes in with his hammer and smashes it hard, making the whole stage have a huge shake or perhaps some Earthquake. It'll be epic!​

The Black Knight



The Black Knight, Ike's nemesis and villain of Path of Radiance. While Ike's spot in Brawl is due to his "current Fire Emblem character" thing, Black Knight is just a generic heavy swordsman in which a spot should be filled by a revamped Ganondorf. Compared to other FE villains, he isn't that much nor is he big. He doesn't have any iconic specialty.

But that doesn't stop him from being in Brawl as an AT!

He could come up with his heavy sword and slash extremely hard hits all over the stage, causing tons of damage for everyone. A very brutal AT, very original. Would love to see him like that.​

Tingle



Tingle, unimportant side-character in the Legend of Zelda series, very unlikable and not because he acts weird or he acts "gay," but because he just sucks. Not a funny character in one bit and deserves even more **** on his face than Stafy. Although, for SOOOOOOME reason, he has popularity. Why? I dunno, go figure.

But because of this, however, I think that because of his popularity, he deserves at least a spot as an AT. He could come in and do some stupid **** and hit everyone on the stage with ruppies, causing major damage. It would be a nice AT and fighting since he deserves nowhere near the playable roster.​

Will update later, but for now, share your thoughts and suggestions!

I give you props. Nice list so far. Do you think some of the Hunters in Metroid will be AT's as well?

Nice list. I'm pretty sure they made a list of every Nintendo character, and then some (3rd parties) Put their names on peices of paper, and after picking out the playable characters, sorted the rest as AT's or bosses for SSE. I'm glad the Ashley and Lucario fans aresn't here yet. *picks up Flame sheild* Best be prepared.

Jimmy T. maybe? he could kill you with nothing but the sheer power of funk.
or Eggplant Wizard, he would obviously throw eggplants on your head just like in Kid Icarus.

This thread is great for having Ashley and Lucario as AT (and Pokéball Pokémon).

I support Black Knight, but... knowing his chances... he'd be an awesome AT.

Also, a Space Pirate would be awesome too... Oh, and Blooper.

I personally agree with Tinlge, Paper Mario and Ashley becoming AT's. I think Lucario fans will kill you for adding him on to that last, but if he wasn't a main PC, he would be in a pokeball, not an AT. It would be a shame for Roy to go from PC to AT, but I guess it could happen.

I believe you should include the following when you can:
Tails
Birdo
Donkey Kong Jr.
Toad
Rick

Birdo will probably return as a stage hazard
Toad is peaches move ( although there are many toads)
DK jr. is the full grown Donkey Kong already in this game...
Rick... would make an interesting hamtaro AT lol.

I agree with Tails.:cool:

DK Jr. is a full grown DK is such BS. That's the same argument with Pichu evovling to Pikachu, which is also BS. DK Jr. could def be an assist trophy from Mario Tennis. Rick is from Kirby if I am not mistake, not hamtaro.

Rare the creators of the New DK that we all know, stated that DK jr from the old arcade games is the current DK grown up, and the old DK is Cranky Kong... this is further proved in Donkey Kong country series... with the things Cranky Kong says.

the Pichu argument is logical because... pikachu gains Pichu's goggles and knows volt tackle.. a move only Pichu can learn, but still it is all fan fic.. compared to the official stuff stated by Rare about DK.

I know rick isn't hamtaro but I compared it since he is a hamster.. lol.

The pichu stuff is not 100% fact its just based on fan speculation...

but the DK stuff is true, if you look it up or play the Donkey Kong Country series you will see it.

Donky Kong Country - Wikipedia said:
Donkey Kong is the main protagonist in the Donkey Kong series, which the game implies is the grandson or son of the original Donkey Kong, who is now presented as Cranky Kong.
Cranky Kong - Wikipedia said:
Cranky Kong was originally called Donkey Kong's grandfather, but since Donkey Kong 64, he has been retconned as Donkey Kong's father.
It's true. The current Donkey Kong is DK Jr. and Cranky is the original

You should definately add Maple (LoZ) and Ray MKII as ATs at some point. Both could be brillaint figures.

The Western side of Pop Star.
Here are some Mario-themed ATs that should be included on the list:

Plum, from Mario Golf 64(she uses her golf club as a weapon:chuckle:)
Eggplant Man, from Wrecking Crew(he could ram opponents, Scizor-style)
Stanley the Bugman, from Donkey Kong 3(sprays opponents with bug spray, enough said)
Bowyer, from Super Mario RPG(he uses his signature move, the button-freezing arrow launch)

Maybe DK charecters will make it to AT, Like chunky who can turn huge and stomp around, Lanky can use his long arms to whip some people, Rambi could charge at people and do some serios people. In fact all animal buddies can make it as AT (accept enguard as he can only be under water.)

Personally, I doubt Ashley will make AT. Maybe a regular trophy, but no more. Her fandom just sprang up recently, only after her music was announced, so if as you say shes a minor character in the Wario Ware series she probably won't have been considered for the spot to begin with, and we'll instead perhaps one or two major Wario Ware characters as ATs.

I'd add just about every previously-playable character that doesn't make it back as a PC too. I expect they'll get that much recognition at least. Doctor Mario, Pichu, and Ness are the obvious ones (plus Roy, but you have him).

With Gray Fox showing up from Metal Gear, I'd also expect Knuckles and Tails to show up from Sonic's series, and probably one or two from any other 3rd-party we may get (Proto Man and Zero from Mega Man perhaps?).

I like this list. i can see all of these making AT... and its not like you threw in some random crap like re4 merchant. *sigh...*

well i havent heard anyone talk about this guy for an AT

IMO he would be pretty badass, but then again, it could just be my LoZ fanboyism.
i hope not.

The whole thing still bugs me and makes no sense. How old would Mario be? Or are Mario and Jumpman two different characters now? Also, if this is true, why did Jr. get a separate trophy in Melee?


Also, in Donkey Kong's Melee trophy, it states the original Donkey Kong as his first game.

I loved Twilight Princess and I agree that this would be an excellent Assist Trophy. It not just you LoZ fanboyism, it is mine as well.

Skull Kid. How can you not have this character in the game?

And the most important AT of all: Psycho Mantis. Nuff said.

Yes, yes, yes.

You win!

Why don't people understand she's just not important enough to be playable?
