Demon Lord Ghirahim's Fabulous Horde of Stunning Features! CONFIRMED ASSIST TROPHY APPEARANCE!

[Maxilian]

Well it looks like the only thing we can do is wait and see what happens

 

[Wazygoose]

I agree on most part, but Shulk HAS a huge chance to be in. I do not care for Shulk personally, I never played Xenoblade, but seeing how it gets another title, and its first/second party and could use some promotion in the west like Fire Emblem did, a Xenoblade rep is highly likely, and if we get one it is gonna be Shulk, no question. Snakre on the other hand has a high chance to be cut. Paper Mario would be ANOTHER Mario newcomer, as if we hadn't gotten enough of direct mario characters and mario characters disguised as their spin-off counterparts already.

With Paper Mario, what I mean is that if there is another Mario character, it would be Paper Mario and not Baby Bowser or Dr Mario.

Maybe you're right about Shulk, but I feel like he would have to have a character trailer revealed before the release of the game, some time in the next three weeks. I mean sure, @ Maxilian is right in that we'll have to wait and see (not for much longer, either). But Snake is the only non-first-party character I could see being in the game without being revealed beforehand, him being a veteran. And since he's pretty unique, I don't know why he'd be cut--plus, on the other side, Kojima would certainly not say no to have him return to Smash Bros. Who knows, maybe they'll both get in. I wouldn't complain, I just don't think Shulk will replace Snake.

In any event, the screenshot is a shimmy-sham.

Disconfirmed

"Pic of the day. "No, I'll just beat you within an inch of your life!" Demon Lord Ghirahim makes an appearance in Smash Bros!! He's an Assist Trophy, so he could conceivably back up Link, too."

 

[Xevious 1]

Gotta love these assist trophies.

 

[LaughingLuigi]

*sigh* That sucks....hard.

 

[Bosspon]

My condolences. May Demon Lord Ghirahim ride on as playable in Hyrule Warriors at least.

 

[Arcadenik]

Sorry Ghirahim fans. At least he can creep people out with his flicking tongue.

 

[toadster101]

You know the roster is garbage when I'd rather play as the Assist Trophies. K. Rool and Ridley better not be deconfirmed next. :/

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

I'm deeply sorry for all those who wanted him. I know you all loved him, and wanted him in the game as a playable character, but he's just an Assist Trophy. I know how all of you feel right now - Same thing happened with Takamaru. ;_; I was heartbroken. Regardless, the whole point of the game is to have fun. So take up this disappointment, shove it in a corner and admire the fabulous Demon Lord's majestic debut in Super Smash Bros for Wii U!

 

[Bunny8093]

AGH NO!!!

T^T Oh God this hurts! He's was like my most wanted that hadn't been confirmed beside of Krystal... My heart man... My heart....

Trust me Takamaru was a well wanted character by me too... This just makes it worse T^T

 

[Banjodorf]

The dream is dead. Aw man...

At least he's there, though! And man does he look great. And besides, I can just play as him in Hyrule Warriors. Good to see you at all, my lord!

 

[Reila]

It is not garbage.

 

[AgentHX]

Jeez, this stings. I didn't even really support Ghirahim, but I can feel the hurt. Sucks when a character is just disconfirmed like that. Times like these remind me that no character is truly safe unless they're outright confirmed. It keeps us on edge. Anyway, really sorry Ghirahim fans. At least there's still Hyrule Warriors.

 

[SolarKirby]

Sorry guys, that kinda sucks :/ At least he's IN IT.

 

[Smashking9902]

 

[SethTheMage]

I'm not as mad because he's playable in Hyrule Warriors, but I'm sorry for everyone who was pulling for him. I'm happy he's more than just a trophy, though.

 

[DakotaBonez]

This was my favorite character support thread

Holder of the Heel's wish came true. I can't wait to see what kind of reaction he'll have.

 

[JabbatheHutt]

RIP. Im gay, and he's probably, to me, the most attractive Zelda character ever.

At least he's in in some form. makes me happy.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

My condolences...

He would have been fun.

Dat tongue tho....

 

[Kenith]

Well...I guess I have no reason to be on Smashboards anymore...

 

[SchAlternate]

Well, the closer we get to release, the more of these we'll be getting, huh.

Sorry for your loss guys.

 

[LeeYawshee]

I stand on what I said before that I felt he wasn't going to be playable. I'm surprised he was in the game at all. All we can do now is wonder what he'll do. Welcome to Smash, Ghirahim.

 

[MooseSmuggler]

My condolences guys. He does look pretty good though. Good to see such detail being given to AT's.

 

[Deleted member]

Yikes...that was somethin I didn't see coming (And I used to be a supporter myself)

My condolences to the fans.

 

[AnoA]

It's a shame. I truly believed he had a chance at being a playable char. I always prefered Tetra though. Let's hope for her inclusion! XD

 

[Solar Crimson]

Man, I had kind of wanted him after finally playing Skyward Sword, and I thought his demand in Japan would help him. Guess not; in fact, it looks like a few of Japan's favorites got the shaft (specifically Takamaru and Prince of Sable).

 

[Kenith]

Oh, how overturned my insides feel right now...

I had a feeling it would happen, but...
Not now...

 

[juddy96]

Condolences to all of the Ghirahim supporters. At least he made it into the game as an AT.

 

[Bunny8093]

Well guess either the trophy theory is bull or it is indeed Impa or someone else.... Oh my goodness this hurts.

 

[Chase]

Sorry, guys. My honest condolences, and I hope that he'll get his chance another day.

 

[PeanutProphet]

as a great man once said “Do you have any idea how that make me feel inside? Furious! Outraged! SICKWITHANGER!”

 

[UberMadman]

Well... better update my signature.

 

[Sehnsucht]

Well...I guess I have no reason to be on Smashboards anymore...

But if you leave, who will waggle their tongue obscenely at me?

 

[The-Power-Within]

Well, this sucks. My condolences to those who wanted Ghirahim in Smash.

Well, at least he's in at all. He's not playable but he's in.

 

[Mr.Seven]

Oh well. Ghirahim would have been fun to play as. Maybe in the future, he'll have his chance.

 

[Arcadenik]

I'm not as mad because he's playable in Hyrule Warriors, but I'm sorry for everyone who was pulling for him. I'm happy he's more than just a trophy, though.

That's the same reason why I'm not too mad about no playable Toad in Smash anymore... he got his own game!

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Ouch.
Im telling you, the Assist Trophy deconfirmations get even bigger each time. Incoming Ridley or K. Rool AT/stage boss pic. Blood shall be spilled...
P.S. A shame about Ghirahim indeed. We have come to almost no new Zelda character options with all the strong choices getting the AT treatment. What is left: Zant? Tetra?(yes pls).

 

[The Slayer]

You never know. He'll probably get the Little Mac treatment after this Smash Bros.

 

[Oracle_Summon]

I am sorry this happened to you guys, he would have been awesome to play as.

 

[SS-bros14]

My condolences, I thought he'd actually be playable this smash...
