Well... You're all right, I'll be sure to play as this fabulous man in Hyrule Warriors, and he has a great model in Sm4sh as an AT. I guess it's not as bad now. But that doesn't make the situation any less real... He's gonna be a great AT in Sm4sh and a great PLAYABLE character in Hyrule Warriors! Though all I mainly did was lurk here from time to time it's been great speculating with you all!

And if Impa is playable in Sm4sh and is a clone I swear to God...

This does absolutely nothing for or against the leak. It is completely unrelated. And leak discussion does not fit here anyway.

Fun stuff! :happysheep:

I personally feel that the Legend of Zelda is just screwed; it will never get another rep ever. Because Sakurai is too concerned with broadening the demographic by adding reps to new franchises like Wii Fit Trainer, Pac Man, and Mega Man. For all he cares he has the Zelda fans already.

Impa is still a possibility.

Also, "heard from a source" is no different than the leak itself. And leak talk is still not allowed here.



Ghirahim does look fun to play in Hyrule Warriors. Although I can say that about every character in that game.

Well, I'm at least glad this happened after that leak. So I could ease into it.

Just a week ago I was pretty much convinced he was playable. 50/50 more or less...
But just a few hours ago I took him off my roster because of that leak.
Y'know... that one...

So... is it possible for Assists to become DLC characters? Or are we all just Groose supporters now? :p

Home.
I was a silent supporter of Ghirahim... but always sort of figured his inclusion (and the trophy quiz speculation) was probably too good to be true. There weren't too many potential Zelda newcomers that were quite as high on my list as this one, outside of Midna. Not much I can say, other than I look forward to hearing his crazy cackling as he's summoned.

It's very sad to see Ghirahim go, the only character I could see ride along with Ganondorf on the dark side of Hyrules own representations. But sad things happens. Sweet dreams are made of tears you know. But I'm sure Ghirahim would say this "Don't cry for me" - Ghirahim.

One more thing I'd like to address is the fact that most deconfirmations or confirmations happens every Thursday... And with Takamaru, Dillon and Genesect among many others, I could say the stakes are getting bigger and... "Badder" ?!

My point is, more shall "unfortuantly" die. And as we all cry for Ghirahim, we will also cry for others.
But as a Smash Family and comunity, shall we try to keep the spirit up for Smash, and make sure that all the Assist Trophies we wanted as playable in the game will be propperly used.

I'm legit disappointed... Oh well. At least fan demand earned him playable status in HW. Maybe he will be a shoe in for the next game. =)
I'm not sure that was "fan demand" so much as "he was the only villain they could pull from Skyward Sword, because Demise just wouldn't work".

My gosh, I'm being a depressing jerk in this thread. Sorry, guys. :(



If Ghirahim can stay relevant to the franchise, he definitely has a chance at promotion, though.

Ah well. Would've liked for him to be playable but an Assist Trophy makes me pretty happy. Love the way he looks here.

I didn't support him as strongly as most of you probably did. Still, my condolences everyone.

Meh... I honestly was fine having just the 3 keepers of the Triforce. Sheik and Toon Link I can accept, but Ghirahim has only appeared in one game, and he has nothing to do with the Triforce in Wisdom, Strength, or Courage.

Either way, this is a good sign that Ganondorf will be confirmed soon. I guess I'll still sympathize for those of you who still wanted him in so bad.

It bugs me that all these fantastic characters are getting assist trophies instead of being playable. Takamaru, Ashley, Ghirahim, Waluigi... it seems like the newcomers I want never make it into Smash. I'll burst into tears if there's no Ridley or K. Rool :(

Glad to see that he's an assist trophy a least.

I had no real desire to see the character in Smash as Skyward Sword is one of the few Zelda games I haven't played.

That video totally changed my mind. Gonna go pick it up tomorrow. I am so sorry he didn't make it in, seems like he would've had a ton of potential for a fun moveset.

Sorry to see this. I supported Ghirahim for a while early on but I stopped because I convinced myself he would share the same fate as Midna.

It is not garbage. :lick:
It isn't to you. It is to some people. That's the way of the world isn't it?

Well, guys, it was a nice trip, and I'm proud of being part of the Ghirahim supporters until the bitter end.

At least he's an Assist Trophy, I mean, it could've been worse.

There are other Skyward Sword characters besides Ghirahim, so no, the trophy theory still lives.
It isn't to you. It is to some people. That's the way of the world isn't it?
No, it isn't garbage. Deal with it.

Actually, I am a fan of Ghirahim. He was one of the few things from Skyward Sword that I liked. I wouldn't call myself an intensive supporter, but I welcomed him all the same. I can be only thankful that he was shot down in a merciful and upfront manner. Perhaps late, but still fair. That said, I like a lot of the folks who happened to support the character, so I am here to send out my regards none-the-less.

*Group hug*

Sorry guys. At least you have Hyrule Warriors to look forward to and its virtually inevitable sequels. Throughout this ride, you guys were pretty much in the same boat as Vaati fans were during the Brawl speculation days but, honestly, you guys made out a lot better because 1. an assist trophy is still a major appearance and 2. it's already been strongly implied that Ghirahim is going to be coming back in future Zelda games so it's not like this was his last chance to do anything important.

I am kinda upset at this. What the heck Sakurai, so many good character picks thrown into assist trophies. Eh, so will this mean no Zelda newcommers after all? I hope not, this is Nintendos second most popular brand, and having it so intensively ignored (or just mistreated like the Ganon clone) is pretty heartbreaking.

Sorry for your loss Ghirahim supporters. Would've liked it if Impa and Ghirahim both became playable. But now I guess it's only up to Impa for a Skyward Sword character. How would you guys react to that?
