I feel it's just the way they're implemented that makes them bad.
Splatoon 2's amiibo also allow you to save equipment sets, which can give people more incentive to buy them.
Animal Crossing Warriors would definitely never happen. It doesn't fit the brand at all.
I'd like an actual Animal Crossing game first and foremost.
Never say never. Remember when we thought Villager would never be in Smash because Animal Crossing characters are too peaceful for Smash.
Hmm... I don't know yet...
Not related to amiibo fighters at all, but perhaps allowing players to save names/controller settings onto the amiibo which can be scanned onto other systems.
Smash is one thing because it represents Nintendo as a whole, or even gaming if we count third parties.Never say never. Remember when we thought Villager would never be in Smash because Animal Crossing characters are too peaceful for Smash.
Lets not revive the Killager meme....Never say never. Remember when we thought Villager would never be in Smash because Animal Crossing characters are too peaceful for Smash.
Maybe make them serve as an alternative to unlock methods for characters? One thing I found disappointing about Smash 4, especially the Wii U version, was the lack of unlockable content; not sure how that would work for DLC characters, but it could make for an alternative method. (having very few unlockable characters kind of sucks, but I don't think anyone would want a repeat of Brawl where major characters like Sonic and Snake have to be unlocked either)
Got me thinking though, which Assist Trophy characters you guys think where once considered as playable characters?
I don't really think any of the characters that made it into Brawl as Assists were considered for playable characters. Starfy, Samurai Goroh, Jill Dozer, and Lyn I don't think were heavily considered if at all. I don't even think Mac was heavily considered before Wii U. On Dark Samus and Ghirahim, again, I doubt it. Most of the assist trophies can be hit in this game. Takamaru, Waluigi, Starfy, and the two you mentioned can all be attacked and pretty much KO'd. Considering Isaac wasn't in the game at all, and him being one of the more requested characters is weird because most of the others that didn't make it were not all that big of characters.Got me thinking though, which Assist Trophy characters you guys think where once considered as playable characters?
With Brawl, I was pretty certain that Lyn, Isaac, Waluigi, Jill Dozer, Starfy and of course Little Mac where considered as playable characters. But the return of most of these characters as Assist Trophies made me think that this wasn't as much the case. Especially Isaac being completely absent was weird, so out of all the Brawl throphies not presented otherwise, I think he was already on the drawing table but somehow never made it.
Samurai Goroh was also considered for Brawl am sure, the way he moves around the battle field suggest that some work was done on him already. I had a similar vibe with Waluigi, who seems to even had jumping animations and the like.
With Smash For, I really thought that characters as Dark Samus and Ghirahim felt far more 'complete' than other Assist Trophies. Ghirahim you can even hit for example. They might've put work on Ghirahim and / or Midna as a new Zelda character, but decided against it for God knows why (I'd really appriciate a new Zelda character).
Actually, am pretty sure there's a lot of characters and stuff they come up with during development that might get saved for a next game.
This.
Along with
's side-taunt quote overuseness.The Smash roster probably begins as a long list of preliminary candidates which gets narrowed down over time, so to think none of the ATs characters were on there at any point in the game's development history seems short-sighted to me, especially since the ATs house some of the most popular non-playable characters.
What's the difference? Metroid Zero Mission was Metroid 1 with more plot, more areas, more bosses and features. Mario 64 DS had the same thing. Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon had a Marth who had a different personality than the original game and I don't feel like mentioning the differences between New Mystery of the Emblem and the original
The same Miyamoto who believes Paper Mario is the experimental Mario franchise and can't be an RPG because Mario & Luigi exists? Not too sure
I expect in game currency like coins to be added like in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and fragments.
This.
, but I also suspect .I think he has a chance now that his game has been released in Japan, but I never viewed him as particularly likely. A trophy cameo wouldn't surprise me, though, considering that Nintendo published his game in Japan.
Ducks, not the Duck Hunt Dog, were considered as Assist Trophy.This.
And personally, I think even playable characters where considered as ATs once. The prime example being
That's not what I was inferring.
Diddy Kong
had mentioned that he had figured some work had been done on a few of them, like Ghirahim, before they decided to not continue with character development, sidelining them to the Assist Trophies. I don't see that as realistic in the slightest and if they were considered it was so early that they would been developed into assist trophies from the start of development.This is actually pretty believable. While I don't agree with your speculation that characters were given up on and sidelined to assist trophies, this is a very interesting assessment and could definitely have happened.This.

My two most wanted characters are Chrom and Crash Bandicoot. I'd be fine.
I personally prefer to judge what characters can do before judging what they look like.
I think Toad is just missing due to being in Peach's B move and that there are simply other Mario characters who can do more unique things like Rosi and Jr. He's probably always been seen as a candidate but he doesn't really jump out.
I was thinking of a "discount" method for certain purchasable items (in Smash coins) for a certain franchises as part of the "Smash Museum" idea I keep talking about. Of course, I would limit the use of Amiibo to like once or twice a day and cannot use the same Amiibo twice.
They don't need to revamp her completely but just make make her better. Zelda's shtick was that she's got some strong killing moves but other than that she's awful so you use Sheik first and finish off with Zelda. But Sheik getting a different character slot removes the entire point as Phantom Slash doesn't make up for Zelda's many weaknesses. Hell, Rivals of Aether has a character using a moveset similar to Zelda iirc and because that game's more balanced, that character's more fun. Zelda in Smash is slow, needs to be very precise if you want to do decent damage and isn't all too heavy, meaning either you have to be very good with her or you lose, regardless of the situation. The devs just need to remember how to balance a character
Indeed, she's balanced as if she's still attached to Sheik. They need to let her fully embrace her playstyle as a magic user and give her more disjoints along with changing up Fair or Bair. They're on the right track they just gotta let her shine.
Is there anything that can be done with Ganny's semi-clone moveset that can be switched up but stays true to the Cap-Falcon-but-slower concept they seem adamant on sticking to (besides actual move changes that we discussed ages ago in this thread)? It feels like they've dug him into a hole here with that moveset.
Aside from stat tweaks (which I feel can work, buff his mobility please) they could allow him to float like in Project M and/or alternatively they could give him a projectile over one of his moves and still keep the rest of his moveset as a heavier falcon. Those things alone probably wouldn't make him much better but I think they'd help.
I want to see Ganondorf take his Wind Waker look. It exceeds at the right amount of colorfulness and would basically sum up a new move set.
I don't think they can do worse than Smash 4 though, where they straight up removed it
