Playable Assist Trophies?

[BurningCharizard]

I was wondering, what with the Roy and Mewtwo projects going and the PSA characters being made, is there a way that the Assist Trophies could be made viable playable characters?

I'm not thinking about all of the ATs being playable.. The ones I feel would be most workable are

Little Mac
Saki
Isaac
Samurai Goroh
Kat & Ana (they could be done similar to the Ice Climbers, but give them their own weights, attack speeds and powers, etc [Kat could be the heavier, slower, stronger of the two; Ana could be the faster, lighter, weaker one], and they could have their AT attack as their Final Smash)
Waluigi
Lyn
Ray mkIII
Gray Fox

Would it be possible to perhaps "copy-paste" attack animations from other characters onto them (like giving Saki Mario's punch-punch-kick A combo) for their A attacks, making their AT attacks as B moves (Saki's energy blade slash as his Side B, and his energy blaster as his B move, along with toning down their power a bit), and things of that nature?

AT's don't have enough animations to be made into characters. they're missing things like shield, escape, flinch, tumble, edge grab animations ect. they're simply too much missing to make an AT playable atm.

mewtwo and roy can be made because they replace characters that they had a lot in common with. you could maybe make a base character an AT like character, but nothing would be the same.

Is there a way to give them those, or at least some of the important animations?

Nope.
But you can have a character emulate a AT's fighting style I think using PSA.

****. This is one of the things that Sakurai screwed up severely. If the Assist Trophies had all been secondary/minor characters from the represented games, no problem. But making Saki, Little Mac, Issac and several other perfectly viable (and game series-expanding representatives) into ATs was just plain idiotic.

You have to admit.
A playable Grey Fox, Little Mac, Lyn, Issac, and Shadow would be pretty awesome.

But Sakurai loves screwing us over.
With the removal of Roy and Mewtwo.

Taking out Mewtwo and Roy instead of fixing/adjusting them
Leaving Ganondorf as a semi-clone of Captain Falcon instead of using the many moves from four different Zelda games
Giving Young Link a facelift into Toon Link without changing his moves to something more Wind Waker-esque
Putting in Ness 2.0 (aka Lucas) from a game never to be released outside Japan instead or making another EarthBound character playable (like Poo or Porky in his Heavily Armed mecha)
Not making Ridley playable
Making unique characters Assist Trophies instead of playable
Subspace Emissary

Yeah, Sakurai either loves to troll or has no idea what he's doing anymore.

Mewtwo and Roy would've over-repped their series. I love'em, but 2 new characters just sounds more appealing then 2 old ones who played like crap (even if they are bad***).

Toon Link's plenty different from Young Link. Though he could've used more WW moves.

Main protagonist of the latest game >>>> side protagonists of the older game. And honestly, I can't see Porky playable without him being scaled down. Also, it's 2009. You should know Ness and Lucas play very differently.

"Ridley's too big". Stupid reason I know.

If they tried to make the ATs playable, the game would be delayed more.

Of course if you subtract the time wasted on making SSE...

Anyway, plz use the Q&A topic next time. Never think you are the first to make a thread like this.
