They could be echo fighters, but I don’t think that’d properly serve either of the characters. They both have mechanics which we wouldn’t be able to see if it was an echo, and that’d just be sad. I want them both, but I know it would come down to one or the other, if either were considered at all. Sad day
Actually I don't, but I'll probably meet him at some point.
I'm wondering if this name was made to copyright dodge.
It'd be pretty difficult to balance, but I think it could be a neat addition to the main style of play. Chose your character, choose your assist, and battle with them throughout the match. I'm just not sure how each one would work since you'd only get to use one attack per character.
It's not that he wants Assist Trophies playable. Pretty much everyone does. People take issue when he says the role is disrespectful to the character, or just a waste of time and resources. The whole "appreciating that they're even in the game" thing is just a counterargument to that, as most people believe having them as an Assist Trophy > not having them at all.
A double reveal with both Layton and Pheonix going "Objection" would be great
Good Job!/The Stretchers two-fer.
No, you've just spent the entire discussion building strawmen that people are apparently saying you can't want, like, be disappointed by, or still care about characters in supporting roles, when no one has said that. Unless I missed it.
every spirit board, I expect professor layton
I imagine it being a move which can’t be used in a combo, unless you’re A. Very lucky or B. Very smart. It could be used as an easy edgeguard. Say they’re off edge and you use bomberman, and then it explodes, killing them. Just something to use in certain situations.
I wonder what a Good Job! Spirit would do. Would it just kinda throw items everywhere?
Like Simon and Richter. Phoenix is taking on a tough case, and it looks like he’s about to get a guilty verdict, but then Layton steps in and now they’re in smash bros
I feel it in the back of my mind every other Tuesday, part of me would be relieved to have some closure and to actually see him in Nintendo’s greatest celebration, but it’s still gonna hurt if it happens.
Someone who is highly-speculated. We need to spice things up around here.
I do agree that within the whole Smash community ATs are generally accepted. I was merely pointing out a way to make it even more accepted among those who are disappointed that their favorites are ATs instead of playable characters and still resent it. It's a way to make your favorite characters who can't be realized as fighters to have a bigger role in matches, ATs as they are currently aren't exactly a perfect way to see your favorite fighter in battle for yourself, it's a 1 in a 59 chance. There probably will still be complains, but at the very least I think this would make people more excited to see ATs, much like how the Echo fighter label made people start requesting and getting hyped for clone fighters.
I'm not denying there will still be complaints, but I do think it's better than the current AT system where you have to play the RNG game in hopes of seeing your favorite AT in battle. Will I be disappointed if Waluigi becomes an AT in the next Smash game? Probably, but if ATs become more interactive and consistent than they currently are then my disappointment would fade into curiosity and interest. A way to consistently have your favorite character appear in matches would be exciting, especially if they play a similair role to MvC assists.
This happened multiple times. I had times when Isaac did nothing, Rodin was no where close to the opponent, hell had online matches where the most an Assist Trophy ever did was hit someone once. Fighting majority of Assist Trophies aren't even a problem. The AI for the actual Fighters is great, majority of Assist Trophy AI are pathetic.
Eh. We'd mostly just lament and move on.
“Here the ARMS spirit board includeing every single ARMS character”
Not really expecing it but it would be crazy to have either Bioshock or Borderlands spirits.
Good! I never want to see Kirby do the tongue thing! Ever!
You mean that weird one with the panda? Sounds like it's fallen from grace. But you're right, it's weird that the series got nothing.
Don’t jinx it...
I also want to add to this that Contra is own by Konami, who already have a lot of representation in the game (Metal gear, Castlevania and Bomberman).
$10 says they’ll include the Sans costume and megalovania track in the battles if you own the aforementioned costume, just like they did with the Cuphead event
Who the hell are begging for more Assist Trophies? Who is going "oh boy, I can't to see these NPCs"? People aren't that desperate to see these characters as an Assist Trophy, nobody would care if these characters get cut or just never made it as an Assist Trophy. You don't see the Sin & Punishment fans upset because Saki got removed as an Assist Trophy because nobody gives a damn about Assist Trophy.
Danganronpa tho???
Aw don't be like that. They're at least Wreck-It-Ralph tier cameos.
First movie or second?
If Monokuma can't be playable, then I really hope we can at least get Zero Escape and Danganronpa spirits. Both of those series are great.
No but I also don't really see Sin & Punishment fans period. I'm pretty sure Isaac fans were at least a little sad that they didn't even get their Assist Trophy back.
Fist. The second movie's cameos are just "Hey look! I did a Fortnite!" and "lol We're being self aware about princess movies being about getting the man even though this isn't the case for either character that laments this look at how woke we are".
It was an incentive to campaign for him to be playable.
Being ignored is disrespect. Getting an AT is the next best thing to being playable. It's the second highest honor they can bestow.
