Smash WiiU & 3DS Miiverse Daily Pic - April 28th

[Smashboards]

Smash Wii U & 3DS director Masahiro Sakurai says "Pic of the day. The Assist Trophy, Midna! This is the 3DS version. She's going to grab and throw things all over the place. Her uncontrollable, whimsical nature remains intact."

 

[Jupo]

Midna's gonna be playable in next Smash game, i'm calling it

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

She must be a thief; she's making a smash and grab. [Thunderous rimshot]

Though, it's perplexing that she doesn't use that Fused Shadow transformation, just like it's odd that Skull Kid doesn't bring the moon a-crashin' down.

Maybe Sakurai felt it was too obious, and wanted som surprised with them? ^^

I don't mind what Midna does, it's cool. But I must say it was disappointing that Skull Kid won't bring the Moon down. However, there's one positive thing about that. It may mean the Majora's Mask level from Melee is coming back~

can't wait for 2022.

 

[Fansmash]

I adore Midna, but I rather Midna in human because she's beautiful. My favorite trophy help.

You want to tell me how someone is supposed to avoid being hit by the ****ing moon?

Also, it's THE Skull Kid! It's not "its" name! It's what it is!

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

Sure. The hitbox of where the moon hits would be an area of effect that's less potent the further away you get from it. That's assuming the moon swoops in from the background like it does on the Great Bay stage and explodes.

Less cinematically, the moon could also have just careened straight down through the stage like a bigger Snorlax.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

Huh. So, I guess this means we wont see her 'human' form?

 

[Yumekuie]

I honestly preferred her human form but at least she got in the game in the first place.

 

[Ixbran]

woo Midna! :D

 

[The Slayer]

So she'll be on the 3DS version too? Guess I'm sold 100% for both.

 

[proxibomb]

In regards to the Legend of Zelda series, I hope they put the Hyrule castle from Smash 64 in. I love that stage on both N64 and Project M.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

My all time favorite Zelda partner! I'm glad she has field involvement at the very least

 

[Wasp]

midna seems cool here... i also thought the twilight princess-form would be more appealing but i guess we know midna best for her impish look. good choice i'd say.

 

[itsameluigi1290]

Midna's cool. Especially how she SMASHES YOU INTO THE GROUND OMG

 

[LoneWolfRanger]

Such midna, much graphic, wow

Such cancer, much overrated, wow.

 

[Kink-Link5]

can't wait for 2022.

We all know Sma5h won't come out until at least spring 2023.

 

[negativeX]

And here I was expecting Bella Swan to represent the twilight princess...

 

[Problem2]

Look at that terrible dark circle underneath her they call a shadow! xD

 

[Sonicguy726]

If we get Twilight Princess 2 and right now I'm feeling pretty optimistic about that

 

[Sonicguy726]

Well the imp form is more recognizable and the hair makes it a better fit for an assist

 

[ITALIAN N1NJA]

Midna's Fused Shadow form was pretty jarring as bad ass as it was for her to stand up to Ganondorf as she did(spoilers). The Skull Kid's move makes no sense at all. He doesn't even do the scream that he did in Majora's Mask(would've been sick to hear that!) and he just has Palkia's move but as an assist trophy. It's silly if you ask me. They could have done something unique with him. Maybe steal items(including bombs and bananas) from opponents and give them to the summoner.

what kind of a reaction is that?

I really wanted him to throw the moon at the stage

 

[Popo Nana Power]

They did say they were open to putting Midna in another Zelda game due to how popular she is.

 

[Wasp]

Such cancer, much overrated, wow.

cancer?? dude... how's that funny?

 

[Deleted member]

cancer?? dude... how's that funny?

I literally wasn't getting cancer, or implying that anyone would obtain cancer because of the post, I was simply referring to the Doge meme as a cancerous thing.

I wasn't literally meaning cancer. And I wasn't trying to be funny, I'm being serious, the Doge meme is bad enough to be categorized with Cancer. Figuratively, of course.

 

[Deleted member]

what kind of a reaction is that?

The kind of reaction you give to a twenty five year old man that still thinks humor designed for seventh graders is funny.

 

[Diana's Safe Landing]

Zant could be a really cool assist trophy too, but the Zelda series has already gotten a ton of representation in characters, items, and assist trophies so I won't get my hopes up.

Zant as an assist would be awesome same with Vaati, let's give these forgotten villains some kind of representation

 

[CardiganBoy]

That expressive face!

As awesome as that would be, it wouldn't always work. A good example is the Andross assist trophy on stages like Hyrule Temple. You can't see it and it just comes out of nowhere. Maybe he could have the moon close in and it would cause effects to happen to the opponents. He should have kept the scream though. That's disappointing. Actually I'm happy that for once they're acknowledging Majora's Mask. It never gets much love as a Zelda installment.

I don't know there has been a LOT of hints at a majora's mask remake lately

This isn't the place for that speculation. I've heard everything on that topic and wouldn't say its outside the realm of possibility. Only time will tell.

 

[Sovereign]

But she made an appearance in Brawl, on Bridge of Eldin, and has been upgraded to an Assist Trophy.... Don't have high hopes for the next Smash and her appearance.

She was on the bridge of eldin?
I don't remember that

 

[Sovereign]

Maybe I'm confusing the effect of the bridge repairing with her actually being on the stage.

 

[The Slayer]

Right. She repaired the Bridge, but you don't physically seeing her doing it. So more than likely it was off screen than anything.
