I added him mostly due to the large possibility of him having a fun and very unique moveset, that and I felt he would be a fairly large contender for a new series character, which I decided to focus a bit more on this time around.
They are by @Shin F.
Well, I don't really want him as an assist, it's more closure than anything. If the Phantom is a new Zelda move, then there is a good chance that Sheik is gone.@TumblrFamous
Why "hopefully Phantom"? I am confused, the predominant reason I do not advocate Phantom as an assist trophy is based on the notion that he is a seemingly generic hack and slash assist based on a generic enemy. Legend of Zelda has a plethora of more suitable assist trophies that are actually unique. I am just curious, if Vaati and Ghirahim aren't playable, I would much rather they become assist trophies over Phantom.
To be more concise, I don't want to debate whether or not Phantom is an assist, I am wondering why you want him as an assist.
Thank you very much. He's very talented ! I really like his renders.
I don't think he would be "very" unique, as all he offers is his katanas, which is not that much compared to Rosalina's unique cosmic powers and being paired with Luma.
What about Isa ? I read (because I didn't played the game) that he has more variety and weapons than Saki. In that case, could he offer an uniqueness not present in smash ?
K. Rool is one of the few classic iconic Nintendo villains left to not already be playable in Super Smash Bros. Through his different roles as a boss, he has displayed a large variety of abilities. However, since RARE has left Nintendo, not much has been done with the character in main Donkey Kong titles.
Thank you, I was having trouble finding it for him.
Saki? He's got plenty more than Katana's. He was a pretty unique Assist Trophy in Brawl by himself. He could also use the hover pack and such that Isa used.
He does a sort of extreme feel that Smash could have. I think he would be sort of an intense fighter for hardcore Smash players, but his tools are nothing new, his beam sword and his gun are pretty standard. If he could have the ability to hover, I think it would be pretty cool, but it's not much.
K. ROOL
Yeah, he could have somewhat of a sumo-styled approach with Goroh, but I still don't think that's enough.
While it is the prime time to reveal him on that day, I wouldn't put that much expectation into that.
There is a lot you can pull from just using a katana. Lets say if both Takamaru & Goroh we're in they'll be given two distinct styles. The former shows a more traditional samurai style while the latter can do the more dynamic approach. I'm mainly talking about standard attacks, specials, Takamaru is pretty easy to pull from with all the items he has.
I know. After Pokemon, I learned not to take reveals for granted,
Cranky Kong epitomizes what it means to deserve a spot.
Speaking of that, Cranky Kong could take moves from Donkey Kong, maybe he could be able to throw barrels and occasionally explosive oil drums.Cranky Kong epitomizes what it means to deserve a spot.
He started from the bottom.
Thanks! By in the centre, you wouldn't mean like this would you?
Yeah most Cranky movesets have Barrels, Potions, and canes.
Your opinion doesn't change Mac's stance, he is a classic Nintendo character recognized by many Nintendo fans that deserves to be in the roster, even though I'm really neutral regarding Mac's potential moveset.
And balloons.
Everyone thinks he's a shoe-in because of that leak, and because they all love them some Little Mac. Oh, and because of that obvious Punch Out stage, but people seem to forget that we had stages in Brawl without characters, a stage does not automatically equal a character.
-I don't believe in that leak at all.
To make things even worse, there's still the heavy misconception that the arcade DK and the current DK are one and the same. I believe it was a call made in DKCR that the whole Cranky is the original was canon, but only starting then.
Well if you research hard enough, there is a Star system mechanic from the actual which Mac could have, when you hit the opponent enough times, you'll gain a Star Punch, allowing you to KO the opponent with the move. Basically a risk and reward system. It's all about trying hard to find a possible playstyle for characters, because Sakurai is not going to say "All he does is punch," he's going to research to find a way to make Mac interesting.
If you try hard enough, you can come up with a moveset for anything. I'm going to leave it at that, I'm simply not jumping on the Little Mac bandwagon.
Most of us are just being facetious.
Yeah, but some things aren't feasible as character material (Mother Brain comes to mind), that's why there's obvious rules in Sakurai's criteria.
There is a difference between plastering moves onto a character, and making moves that mesh into a playstyle that can be taken advantage of.

Welcome to Smashboards!
okay, I don't think that the "leak" is true either, but if you look at everything else (the stage, being an assist in brawl, Punch-Out!! existing, the stage, the popularity, the stage) you have to give him a considerable amount of credit. he's likely even if you don't have nostalgia for the series. I never owned any of those games as a wee lil rob.
Do you have it uploaded to another site, or is it still on your computer?
Did you miss what I said about the stage before? Forgetting Smashville? Hanenbow? Pictochat? A stage means jack ****, we can get a Punch Out stage by itself.
none of those series had "fighters" that were considered viable for the final game. (yes, villager wasn't considered viable by sakuri back in brawl, and his poinion has changed as you all know)
I've seen Punch Out actually as a puzzle game for all this time. It's about seeing what works for what situation, when to do so, and patterns.
But Hanenbow and Pictochat obviously have no feasible characters to pick from, it was probably just for the unique stage elements they could offer.
Which brings us back to the point that Sakurai is a total flake when it comes to consistency. The guy makes more things up as he goes along than J.J. Abrams working on LOST.
Imma say my thing in another way:
And this is exactly why I don't have Little Mac, I'm of the opinion that Sakurai doesn't see him as a viable fighter, but rather an assist trophy.
