Miiverse Daily Smash 4 Photos (Closed for its successor)

[Forcerounds]

I bet he's going to scream and summon a "moon" that takes up half of the screen to slowly make its way downwards.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Wow, the Wii U graphics have changed a lot.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

THE MOON IS FALLING! (I hope)

Man, I'm not even mad that he isn't playable. I'm just glad to see him in Smash nonetheless.
Glad that Sakurai's trying to make things clear about Assist Trophy pics.

[NintendoKnight]

Glad to see Majora's Mask get some love. One of my favorite Zeldas.

And while I didn't particularly care about the fate of Skull Kid, I'm glad he made into the game as an Assist. And a good-looking one too.

Dang, look at that character model!

 

[Kamikazek]

If he doesn't bring down the moon, then what's even the point? He better. And he probably will.

Plus good to know the AT gates have opened and we might get some more deconfirmations soon(ish). Unless they deconfirm characters I actually expected and wanted. Which they definitely will.

Yeah I honestly think it's most likely that he drops the moon on people. Which would be fantastic.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

People who see this via the DOJO instead of Miiverse are going to flip out.



You can turn them off.

Nah its just they kinda deconfirm characters that could have been playable. That's why I never liked the idea.

Like Isaac in brawl.

 

[mygamecube]

The moon is pretty freakin' huge. How would that work?

Yet I can't remember anything else the Skull Kid did in MM that would make him do something other than bringing down the moon.

Hmm

 

[Arcanir]

It's always nice to see Majora's Mask get more love and Skull Kid really helps that. I also hope the moon plays a part in its use, or at least calling down some form of doom on the playable characters.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Nah its just they kinda deconfirm characters that could have been playable. That's why I never liked the idea.

Like Isaac in brawl.

It sucked when they deconfirmed Metroid, Helirin and Nintendog

 

[N3ON]

So is this the first 100% definitive deconfirmation of a character with some level of support or am I forgetting somebody?

 

[BeatNinja]

My god this week was fantastic.

Monday - New move for Villager.
Tuesday - A new boss character/stage hazard and potentially a new stage.
Wednesday - A genuinely nice looking pic.
Thursday - New info on one of Villager's most interesting moves that we knew nothing about prior.
Friday - SKULLKID. Sure he's an assist trophy BUT FRIGGEN SKULLKID. YOU'VE MET WITH A TERRIBLE FATE HAVEN'T YOU? Oh, and a confirmation on Assist Trophies.

Best week ever. Take me now December.

The poll. In retrospect, it looks as though Mega Man got bot-spammed as well, given the massive distance between him and the next closest, Ridley. Skull Kid and Dunsparce got the brunt of it in earlier rounds, though, with the on-and-off bot-voting of Ridley and K. Rool as well so as to distract from the bot-voting of the other two.

I'm glad Mega Man's popularity was rampant in other places, or I'd be bothered. K. Rool did excellent, considering the obvious problems this poll had. Top 6 isn't terrible. Without Girahim and SK (who suffer from one-time villain syndrome), he'd be top 4.

Pretty awful poll though. SK's voted, while he's awesome, are unbelievable.

 

[Fatmanonice]

So, franchises usually average about one assist trophy rep so that could potentially mean... oh dear god... don't you do it Sakurai... don't you DARE do it...

[Niko Mar]

JESUS CHRIST, Skull Kid looks so awesome. If they have newcomers at VGX I'm afraid I'll meet with a terrible fate before I can play this game .

 

[N3ON]

Well you do realize it's not like those characters would've been playable if not for becoming an AT, right? They were never going to be playable, and making them an AT is still better than being relegating to a trophy, sticker, or nothing.

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Ah, of course! Majora possessed the Skull Kid cause it just wanted a hug! D:

Awww, somebody hug the Majora. :<

 

[XStarWarriorX]

You know what I mean, I feel sorry for the toad and skull kid fans who wanted him playable, assist should be obscure characters like the ones you posted, not ones that had some playable potential, now people outside of the boards are saying were gonna get tingle as a PC..... lol.

 

[Banjodorf]

OHHHHH MYYYYY GOOOOOOOD!!!

 

[MasterOfKnees]

I almost jumped for a second there. Skull Kid looks great though, just makes me want a Majora's Mask remake much more. Oh, and isn't this the first AT we see?

Just a good picture all around.

 

[Inawordyes]

I was not expecting this, this is awesome! He's not playable, and that's sad, but still, it's awesome that he got acknowledged!

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

That's just as much of an assumption as the opposite. You don't know that. XD

There's no definitive proof of either, so it all comes down to whatever it is you believe or what feels more strongly implied.

 

[Admiral Pit]

And so December starts strong. May the holidays bless us with more new goodies.

 

[Kamikazek]

Hmm

Simple, they just have to Ridley the moon.
...I mean resize the moon.

 

[Seraphim.]

I thought he was playable for a second, ATs looking good this time around.

 

[NintendoKnight]

First the Toad supporters fell, and now the Skull Kid supporters.

Well guys, it's time. The deconfirmations are coming.

Grab your britches. This is going to be one bumpy ride.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Skull Kid looks AWESOME! This week was a good week for pictures.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Looking back on the last page, the Skull Kid pic was apparently revealed around 20 minutes before the SSB4 site updated.
Miiverse privileges, I suppose. Sucks that you need a WiiU in order to view stuff on there.

[Swamp Sensei]

Skull Kid's model looks amazing!

How is he gonna work?

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

And so December starts strong. May the holidays bless us with more new goodies.

I'd say it's less of it starting strong and more of the first week ending strongly.

The rest of this week was incredibly "meh".

 

[mygamecube]

This makes me wonder who will be the new characters as assist trophies? What AT's didn't make it back? What AT's return? What AT's from Brawl actually became playable characters?

Food for thought over the weekend. Pretty good week in terms of updates. Here's hoping for a new trailer and announcements for the game at Reggie's VGX.

 

[The Drilling Juggernaut]

So, franchises usually average about one assist trophy rep so that could potentially mean... oh dear god... don't you do it Sakurai... don't you DARE do it...

Spoiler

Smash fans don't like to talk about it, but Tingle is a very real possibility. He has plenty of moveset potential, is popular for better or worse, has a presence in smash itself, and has two full games under his belt. He's not likely, but him showing up as playable wouldn't be the least bit surprising.

 

[ZeldaMaster]

OH MY GOD SKULL KID!!!!

On a lesser note, since this update isn't of Luigi's nose, we probably won't get anything at VGX. I mean Skull Kid is a HUGE update.

 

[Stenton]

Guessing this means Skull Kid replaces Tingle in the Zelda Assists List.

I actually love the Assist Trophies. They're unique. Looking forward to see more announcements.

Wish this means that we could be getting a Majora's Mask HD/3D remake.

 

[Amazing Ampharos]

You know what I mean, I feel sorry for the toad and skull kid fans who wanted him playable, assist should be obscure characters like the ones you posted, not ones that had some playable potential, now people outside of the boards are saying were gonna get tingle as a PC..... lol.

Tingle already had a perfect role in smash. He was one of the most fun stage objects in Melee, and I'm pretty sure I lost a few games back in the day by trying to acquaint him with the bottom of the sea instead of defending myself against my opponent.

 

[RelaxAlax]

Yeah, I was hesitant to say it earlier this week but there's no way Sakurai can troll it now. This week has beena amazing. Everything has been , well,

smashing.


Except Smashboards .... but I digress.

 

[N3ON]

Spoiler

Either that or Sakurai figures by the second game with ATs the third biggest Nintendo series in Smash deserves more than one. I mean Mario got like what, three last time?

 

[ZeldaMaster]

Guys, I also think Epona and a Loftwing can make GREAT assist trophies.

 

[Kapus]

I totally freaked when I first saw the image because I thought he was revealed as a new fighter.

I wonder what he does as an assist trophy? Seal an ugly mask to your face? Make the moon fall?

 

[Fatmanonice]

He has plenty of moveset potential, is popular for better or worse, has a presence in smash itself, and has two full games under his belt. He's not likely, but him showing up as playable wouldn't be the least bit surprising.

I understand this but I can't imagine the piss fit that will be thrown if he is playable. Like Waluigi, he's a character that I absolutely couldn't stand thinking about in Brawl but wouldn't mind seeing him playable in SSB4.

 

[Deleted member]

@Fatmanonice:
I find this to be acceptable.



Though really, we'll probably have Tingle as an Assist again as well.
There's no rule that a series can't have more than one Assist (Mario has 3 and Metroid originally had 2).
