Metroid for an Assist Trophy

Seeing Dr. Wright pop up on the site today kinda sparked the idea. I thought it might be cool to have a Metroid as an assist trophy. He could latch on to other players and slowly increase their percent, after awhile it would return to the owner of the trophy and reduce his percent. The opponent could mash buttons or do something else to decrease the latch on time and shake the metroid off. I think it would be a cool idea and add some nice health strategy other then grabbing a heart or food on the ground.

Yeah, it'd be cool seeing a metroid suck off Pichu's head.

But, I'm almost thinking this could go in character discussion, or one of the AT threads.

Well, although Metroid is most likely going to be an AT, I think it should be an item of some sort. Sort of like the metroid container in the melee intro.

I'm sure this has been discussed before . . . but let's talk about it again. :grin:

The really cool thing is if a Metroid could cause damage onto one character, and then subtract that damage to the play that used the Metroid. Kind of like that final battle in Super Metroid. Like . .what's already been said. XD

More over, what if they could be destroyed with the whole ice attack/five missile combo? That'd be amusing. (Ice Climbers with a Rocket > Metroids? )

They're like little intergalactic vampiric jellyfish. Aww. :love:

I originally saw metroids as hazards in a Metroid-themed level. I loved that idea. But they could make good assist trophies... As a matter of fact, they probably will be. I don't know!!
****, Sakurai..more updates please!

I like the idea a lot ^_^ even as a player that rarely turns the items on, id love to see a metroid item where it attaches itself to the guys head.

It would also be cool if samus had an attack that killed it in a hit, like maybe a smash missile or a fully charged shot , but nobody else could destroy one and had to outrun it. That'd be a cool lil' touch.

That is one of my favorite ending scenes in video games of all time. I like .. had tears for the metroids sacrifice when I beat it when I was like 10 years old lolol.

Seriously I get sentimental everytime.. I wuv that giant jellyfish with teeth who saves me from the evil dinosaur!11!!!
