I'm not sure if genocide is the correct term, it implies Assist Trophy characters have something in common which fighters and other nonplayable characters don't.

It is, they're all characters who got snubbed I tell you

Wow, I haven't had to stay up past Midnight to see a PotD since Smash4.

Here it is in English:

Today's Item
Bomber
Hold the Bomber up with the A button and a massive explosion will occur in 1.5 seconds. You will take less damage by moving away from the center of the explosion, so if you are about to get caught in it, try to get away!

It's the S-Flag, except instead of giving life it takes it away.

Also thE ITEMS TAB STILL ISN'T OPEN

 

[BlondeLombax]

Chances are, I'm probably gonna sleep past the Direct. Now, some would watch the whole thing without being spoiled after it airs, but me? The moment I wake up, I'm checking the site. It's like Christmas morning for me, this.

Yep, Sakurai could made Dr. Kawashima fight with Ridley, but unfortunately we're living in dark times.

 

[Blargg888]

It happens as soon as the game begins. It isn't a spoiler.



Roy is a clone you like it or not. A very bad clone at that.

The way it's presented is still meant to be shocking. And spoiling it beforehand makes it lose that effect.


Also, Roy is more of a semi clone at this point.
Not nearly as cloney as Melee, but you can still feel the Marth in him.

 

[MBRedboy31]

Hoo boi, just realized we have only have one day left. Here's a question for everyone, what's the one thing you wanna see confirmed in this direct. For me, Subspace 2 Electric Boogaloo

While there are more fun things I’d probably be way more hyped for, the thing that would actually functionally matter for me is, while talking about controller options, a reveal that keyboards are fully supported as controllers.

I’ve been playing Smash like games mostly on PC with a keyboard for the last few years, so this would allow me to transition to Ultimate as smoothly as possible.

Then again, I’m a lazy bum and I’d probably mostly just play it on handheld mode anyway. But, it’d matter if the gameplay turns out to be fun enough for me to want to get good at it.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Yep, Sakurai could made Dr. Kawashima fight with Ridley, but unfortunately we're living in dark times.

I'm just saying, people would have stopped asking for Ridley if we got Pong as a playable character

 

[Shroob]

I need an event match where you play as Roy Koopa, where all the items are bomb-items, and if you look in the direction of an explosion, you'd KO'd.

Cool guys don't look at explosions, after all.

They didn't stop at the Bob-Omb
They didn't stop at the Secret Mine Bomb (Melee)
They didn't stop at the Smart Bomb (Brawl)
They didn't stop at the Bombchu (SSB4)
and now they have Crasher Bomb and Bomberman

Are there any other bombs I should know about?

RANKED
ONLINE

My only problem with that is that Smash 4's online uhhh........ sucks. Sometimes I'll just SD and throw a match because the lag is so bad, or the lag is just bad enough that my character pick can't function the way they should. It'd still be nice, but if the work hasn't been put in to make the online experience better then I wouldn't treat any kind of ladder with much seriousness.

 

[L9999]

I don't consider Ness and Lucas magic users, because their **** is Psychic energy. And if you count Psychic energy as 'magic', then you effectively have to count Mewtwo and Lucario as 'magic' as well. Hell, you'd have to count every Pokemon as 'magic'.

Basically, you'd have to count "Every character with an energy based projectile that doesn't come from a firearm" as magic.

At least with PSI you can explain it, magic is magic, you don't gotta explain ****.

This is so wrong on so many levels

PSI are a pool of abilities that don't come from weapons but from magic points. The PSIs that are for support mimic healing items and cause status conditions. The offensive PSIs are attacks have effectiveness agaimst certain enemies and have various effects. By the convention of its genre PSI is magic. Many RPGs name magic to something cooler like "psynergy" but it is all the same. It is not "wrong on so many levels."

 

[WallyPalmer]

You got 14 games (technically 12 two of them were just remakes). You bring half of them from one game
Yeah... it's like... unbelievable. That a franchise,,,, with a lot of representatives,, would have a majority from a single set of games,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

that upsets my brain

It's a Kirby. I will now extrapolate things that assume that my good son BWD will be a newcomer.
(Seriously though, if we get another Kirby item/character as the post tomorrow I'd be seriously stoked.)

You forgot the Gooey Bomb, X Bomb, and Hococate Bomb

Add in things like the randomly exploding containers, and items-on Smash sure loves its explosions, huh?

I do feel the Marth in him.....but just the tip.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I've suddenly gotten the feeling we'll see Galacta Knight as an assist trophy tommorow

More like just the hilt.

Don't forget the Links' Down Bs, Snake's Special moves, Samus' Down B, Bowser Jr's Down B, Sheik's Side B, Inkling's Splat Bomb, and Megaman's Crash Bomb.

Lots of Bombs/Explosives in Smash.

You can't just make up items.

Unless you mean the Motion Sensor Bomb/Proximity Mine, which was in SSB64.

 

[ErenJager]

Hopefully they show some of the missing AT's. Some of these echo character speculations need to die.

 

[NintenRob]

I wonder who's going to survive the assist trophy apocalypse and who will be the biggest name deconfirmed.

I'm thinking Ashley might be an assist trophy. And I could see Geno as an assist trophy (Square's kinda Bomberman equivalent I guess)

The next thing they'll introduce is these guys as an AT:

Of course I would know this...

Edit: CURSE YOU CRASHBOARDS!!!

 

[Makai Wars]

The assist trophy section is where the majority of the salt will be mined from, it makes me kind of sad honestly. Right now we're in that phase where there haven't been a lot of hard deconfirms yet so everyone is still hopeful, but as soon as those Assist Trophies start rolling in....
I'm just glad my most wanted iare already in and my next most wanted is Octolings so I have no real stake in any of this, but MAN this forum is going to be on fire tomorrow.

 

[ThatRedPlumber]

My most wanted are King K.Rool and Dixie Kong, as well as Elma, Geno and Bandana Dee. I get this feeling that it’s honestly playable fighter or nothing for them as I don’t see any of them being assist trophies (expect for maybe Bandana Dee.)

I thought I was the only one who noticed Smash's odd affinity with bomb and explosive items...
Hopefully they don't go overboard this time and implement some more unique items too. (Or just bring back the Red Shell, that was a pretty fun item to use imo)

Nope, it has nothing to do with that. Broken images happen just because...

Looks like SmashBoards is having a small bit of an image problem (hyuk hyuk).

Because I'm trying to upload an image I just drew and ain't working.

• King K. Rool: As an assist trophy, King K. Rool quickly dashes around the stage, akin to his appearance in DKC1. Opponents who get too close will get run over, or face a blast from his blunderbuss.
• Dixie Kong: As an assist trophy, Dixie Kong whips her ponytail in front of her numerous times, somewhat akin to Meowth's Poke Ball appearance.
• Elma: As an assist trophy, Elma quickly appears on stage outside of her Skell, leaps upwards, and then falls back down in her Skell. Opponents hit by the Skell as it falls downwards are planted into the ground. She fires some strong blasts from her Skell's arm cannon, and then disappears.
• Geno: As an assist trophy, Geno appears quickly, then turns into his cannon form to preform Geno Flash. The explosion acts like a slightly larger Smart Bomb.
• Bandana Waddle Dee: Throws food, like Isabelle currently does. Enemies that get too close get stabbed.

Anything can be turned into an Assist Trophy. It stops at nothing.
Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say, the trophy is.

If you must know what the image in question was, it was a variant of the Grinders from Yoshi's Island called "Short Fuses" that drop bombs

• NiGHTS: NiGHTS will appear somewhere in the stage, dancing in place. The first player to make contact with NiGHTS will dualize with them, temporarily causing you to play like NiGHTS in NiGHTS into Dreams.

Considering how overpowered NiGHTS would be as a playable character, an Assist Trophy is probably a better fit.

I find funny how some of you put your prediction of the Direct and it's obvious as hell you are actually putting a wish-list. Don't confuse prediction with wish-list.

Also **** Goku.

I've actually been reserved with my predictions, and I really only have one wish that's not too unreasonable...

Aww ****!!!! Fine then.. We’d better watch out or Sakurai will snap and we’ll go down to 34 characters.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be....
