Miiverse Daily Pic Thread: 2nd Edition (Updated 9/19)

[Soul.]

It looks like Ghirahim is an Assist Trophy. That's fine, I guess.
Sorry, Ghirahim supporters.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

This definitely hurts the trophy theory quite a bit, meaning Ridley lost an argument as well.

Not really, Impa was the one who taught you that song anyway. And she was always more likely than a one-off.

 

[aldelaro5]

Grab your Ridleys, hold on to your K. Rools and light a candle for a Mewtwo, we're in the last three weeks stretch, and it's not pretty.

I know, and I will do the same.

 

[Scamper52596]

I'll be the next to say that I'm sorry for all of the Ghirahim supporters who wanted him playable. I know that he was the most popular choice for a sixth Zelda representative, but Assist Trophy is still a very good status. He could easily have just been a trophy next to Fi. Maybe his popularity and essence in the Zelda universe will only grow from here, making him a good choice for Smash 5.

 

[Waluridleykryrool]

Correction, at least Ghirahim was in a main series game of his respective franchise.
And isn't a ripoff of an original character.

I HATE waluigi. HATE him.

And thats coming from Jabba.

AH HELL NAH, you did not insult my boy waluigi, get yo salty ass outta here hater.

Anyway back on topic, this scenario is remarkably similar to that of zant prior to brawl, only difference (that i can see) being ghirahim at least got an assist, not sure zant even got a trophy.

 

[Curious Villager]

My condolences to the Ghirahim supporters Except the salty ones who pin their anger and blame on Toon Link.....

Oh well, at least he's a pretty cool assist trophy. c:

 

[SilverSoul24]

As previously stated, I think The Legend of Zelda is getting pretty much ideal representation here. We've got four confirmed veterans, with Ganondorf surely on the way, leaked or not. Not to mention three unique stages, a plethora of potential musical pieces, several new items, and a group of iconic Assist Trophies. I'm not going to lie and say that another fighter wouldn't be nice. Impa has potential, and I'd reeeeeally like to see Vaati, but. I think we're getting what's sufficient. I don't even care if Mario or Pokemon have more characters.

However, I don't think this affects the statuses of K. Rool or, especially, Ridley. There's still so much going in their favor, so I see no reason to worry.

 

[HohnTTD]

I don't mean this in any malicious intent towards supporters but I think Assist Trophy status is a deserving role. Like Midna, he was only a one-off character. I'm glad to see him.

If we were to get a Zelda newcomer, I think the most likely choices would either be Ganon or more likely (in my opinion) Tetra. I'd be happy with either.

YOU JUST WENT TOO FAR

 

[MewtwoX825]

Impa is a tough choice cause her character is constanly changing each game.

1st choice is Ocarina of time which is ight but she seems like someone Sakurai would consider bland and outdated

2n choice is Skyward Sword but she is just a Sheik homage.

Last choice is her recent appearence in HW, this would be a great choice to represent the new pseudoZelda game and she can attack with a gaint swo......... dammint never mind.


The only other incarnation of her that I can think of is....


Wait what......

OH GOD NO!!!!!!

As far as Zelda representation goes I think Ganon would make the representation pretty perfect. The Zelda series has a ton of great characters but two versions of the Triforce holders feels about right to me: Link/Toon Link. Zelda/Shiek, Ganon/Ganondorf. All represent a different part of Zelda equally, without the fear of dipping into the flavor of the month character and having people feel shafted. Of course if half of those weren't stuck in "Clone for no reason" territory this argument would hold a lot more water.

I'd love to see Ganon. I think he'd be a good choice imo. c:

 

[Jiggly]

shhh

it's ok

have a hug

In all seriousness, the amount of Assist Trophies that could be fighters next time is outstanding. We've gotten:

-Ashley
-Dark Samus
-Dillon
-Ghirahim
-Isabelle
-Knuckle Joe
-Lyn
-Magnus
-Midna
-Sable Prince
-Saki
-Goroh
-Skull Kid
-Starfy
-Takamaru
-Tingle
-Waluigi

ALL of them could be unique characters. This is going to be one of the greatest character games in the world, like Sakurai said.

As a kirby fan, Knuckle Joe does NOT deserve to be on that list. There are other better characters. Mainly Bandana Dee, but Adeleine, Marx, Magolor, and Prince Fluff could happen afterwards...

 

[Lautsuu~]

*buries head in hands*

Why? Why, Sakurai? *sniff*

K.K Slider, Shulk, Bandana Dee. It's up to you guys.

 

[Staarih]

Damn, I thought Ghirahim could have been an interesting character. Sorry to the supporters!

And Kalos League yet again without further explanations. It's becoming the new Pyrosphere!

Ganon would be a great choice, and I'd love to see him. I just worry that you'd run into Ridley's size issue, only even worse. They'd also likely have to give Ganondorf a new Final Smash. He'd likely have an awesome trident and magic-focused moveset, though, so I'd kill to play as him.

I'd still prefer to see Vaati, though. :/ If only because I think the Four Swords sub-series is criminally underrated and deserves representation in Smash.

Trust me, I'm only pointing out possibilities. Waddle Dee gets priority over anybody IMO. But Knuckle Joe has plenty of unique attacks n' stuff to use.

Waluigi is number one and you know it. Stop refusing the truth.

Run Shulk Run before the deconfirm catch you

 

[TitanTeaTime]

...Oh
now we have 2 Zelda one-off villains as assist trophies.
...
Can I have my Zant as an assist trophy AT LEAST please? Still predicting that tomorrow will have Kraid of course

 

[Shariq]

I dunno why people really thought Ghirahim had a chance. Yeah he is unique in a way and was the main villain of Skyward Sword. However he was only in one game. To me a character being in only on game in a series that has as many games as it does doesn't really warrant a playable character in Smash. I wouldn't of minded if he was in, but i just never really even thought he had a shot at being playable. But then again Sakurai makes random crazy decisions.

 

[Kapus]

I forgot people supported this character until I saw this update.

Um..sorry guys!!

 

[FalKoopa]

Well, looks like all the fabulousness in the world couldn't save him. Farewell, Ghirahim.

My condolences to his fabulous supporters.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

He obviously wasn't Fabulous enough

He's only Faux Fabulous

Edit: He's Fauxbulous

 

[GamerGuy09]

#TeamBandanaDee will pierce the heavens.

 

[LightningVance]

How TOON LINK got in over him is inexcusable!!!!

I guess being the star playable character in 6 core Zelda games and 1 remake over a character showing up as a villain once IS pretty inexcusable

 

[NintendoKnight]

He looks good at least. Honestly, I really didn't think he was going to make it, especially considering the designs of Link and Zelda. This only increases Ganondorf's likelihood (which was already insanely high).

But, anyway, I shall make my rounds to his support thread and share my condolences.

This was my thinking up until we got Robin & Lucina. And vaguely when Sheik returned as a stand-alone character. Though at least Sheik is now in Hyrule Warriors, then again, so is Ghirahim. So go be fair, Ghirahim's in two games. One of which he is playable.

I never wanted/expected him, but I opened up to the possibility once I realized Sakurai's perfectly content adding one-offs.

 

[Espio264]

I never supported Ghirahim. I never understood the fascination with him. That being said, he looks great and would have made an infinitely much better character than Dark Pit.

 

[Tonydrake]

Well, I never thought Ghirahim would be playable. I expected him as an Assist Trophy, and that's what he is. My condolences to Ghirahim's supporters

There's still a chance for a Zelda newcomer: Impa, she would be a great choice

 

[Malcolm Belmont]

#TeamBandanaDee will pierce the heavens.

#Team Shulk brings out the Monado for a team attack

 

[JForseti]

Thankfully this is not Street Fighter x Tekken

[JamietheAuraUser]

I have this horrible feeling that if we get a Zelda newcomer, it's gonna be Toon Zelda.

Tetra would be cool to have. Now, Toon Zelda would've been awesome too, but with transformation characters cut that means Tetra would be going solo.

 

[Ai <3 Punk]

Thankfully this is not Street Fighter x Tekken

Spoiler

man i forgot about box art mega man and packujin. i'm so glad they wont see another game again (hopefully i didnt jinx it)

 

[Fatmanonice]

And down goes another megaton... 16 updates left to go. On the upside, at least Ghirahim is playable in Hyrule Warriors which is a lot more than can be said about Skull Kid and Vaati, who were basically in his place during the Brawl era as far as Zelda characters go.

 

[Krazy4Krash]

Can't say I'm saddened by the loss of another Zelda character; there is none I desire as a newcomer, and Ghirahim was the absolute epitome "What the hell? Why?" concerning the idea of being playable. I don't see the point in any new Zelda characters, to be honest, and it will always be Ganondorf or bust in regards to villains.

Tetra deserves a shot at the roster, maybe? Given that Toon Link is around, and given that Sheik is still here despite having only been in one main-series game. She could use all sorts of pirate-y tools, like a grappling hook to steal your held item or equipped badge.

 

[Doc.Pringles]

On the upside...Sakurai has an incredibly upset fanbase to please quick! This means Friday character unveil!

Between Ghirahim fans and and this leak that just doesn't want to be killed, we're all getting uneasy a little too near launch, and Sakurai WILL look to control this fast. He just..needed to troll us a few more times first.

Also, I'm fully expecting one last *huge* pickup (Krool/Ridley). I'd include Mewtwo, but seeing how he's a veteran, he shouldn't have to be an ace in the sleeve.

Seriously, if you think Sakurai doesn't have at least one last huge reveal to boost hype before release, you're in for a surprise. ...I hope.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

What if... Toon Zelda is the Zelda Newcomer?
