Wasn't sure if this goes here, or Character Discussion, since this isn't discussing playable characters, but still discusses assist and bosses. If it belongs in the character discussion, move it there.

Anyway, lets talk about characters who have a very high chance of not being playable, but we would still love to see them in as either Assist Trophys or Bosses, or anything else.

I personally more than anything would like to see Kirby's Kracko as both a boss, and/or Assist Trophy. He's a classic Nintendo character. He's appeared in just about every Kirby game since Dreamland. And the fact he did not receive a Trophy in Melee (neither did Diddy for that matter) is very shameful.

May be too late, but I think Dynablade would make a perfect random obstical(sp?) for the Halbird level. *Super Star Spoilers* She was killed by Meta-Knight with the Halbird anyway, so it wouldn't be too hard to connect the two with the same stage. Or at least make her a random obstical(sp?) in whatever other Kirby level(s) that will be confirmed (or Kracko too for that matter). If not, than a powerful Assist Trophy will do.

What about you guys. Or for that matter, does anyone agree with these two?

I honesty think Midna/wolf would make a better assist trophy than a playable character...so my vote goes for them or Professor E Gadd

I've been advocating for Psycho Mantis as a character since Snake was announced. Even though he'd never make it for playable, as an assist trophy he'd be ridiculously awesome.

Imagine, if you will: Psycho Mantis comes out, the screen goes dead for a second as "HIDEO INPUT" appears on the black screen as if you had just changed the video channel on your TV. Suddenly, everything flashes back, and he floats high above the level cackling. You don't realize what's happened, until suddenly you push a button, only to find now you're controlling your opponent's character!

Basically what I'm saying is he'd change control of everyone's characters randomly for a brief period. However, any death you suffer would reflect on your score rather than the score of whoever originally picked that character.

Other than that, I'm pretty much good with anyone.

I've heard that somewhere, but Wikipedia and the ESRB don't confirm it. Where do people get the idea that the game has a T rating already?

Should Lololo and Lalala not become playable as we expect, then I would at least like to see them as stage obsticals of Assist Trophys. And the boxes they push can either be explosive, contain Kirby based items, or be empty. And they should only break when you either destroy the boxes, or they are kicked by Lololo or Lalala, and crashes into someone.

I'd also like to see Rambi or Cranky Kong as Assist Trohpys. Imagine Cranky acting like the Resetti trophy, complaining about the old classic games that most of us love, while running back and form on the ground he appears on, smacking his walking up and down, beating those he touches. I can even imagine him complaining about random stuff to Donkey or Mario exclusivly (Cranky and Mario did used to battle it out in both of their debutes after all).

EDIT:
Forgot to finish. And imagine Rambi as a temporarly ridable buddy, so you can run around on him, moveing slowly (maybe half the speed you normally move, depending on the character), but with a powerful hit.

Wow, that's a concept I've not heard before, and it sounds like it would make things very interesting. I really like that idea alot, especially since all points (be they positive or negative) still reflect the player and not the character, so there is no cheating.

I would like to see some new Fire Emblem characters, and Poke'mon characters. Poke'mon offer different playing styles, and I would like to see some creative gameplay through them. Crystal could be included as well, wielding the staff in Fox Adventures. Bowser Jr. should be in there as well, resembling to Boswer, but not as heavy and powerful. I hope clone's return too, with new move-sets.

I would say have Vulcan Raven come out and have him leash out a barrage of bullets from his massive chain gun, but I think Sakurai frowns upon the whole 'guns' thing. Maybe one of the bosses from MGS4 could come out and do something cool.

I know he's already a sticker, but I really hope Rawk Hawk (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door) is an assist trophy. (Feel the RAAAAAAAAAAWK!)

I'd also like to see Tails as an assist trophy (as it's not confirmed right now that he is).

Hiding in that one place you cant see.
Kracko should diffenetly be an AT. Like he rises down in his ball form, then spins and turns into his spiky cloud form. Then he would wind up, so people could kind of anticipate his attack (just like in the kirby games) then he would swoosh down and back up on the other side of the screen. People who get hit could ether suffer damage and stun, or just damage.
Another AT just like Kracko could be the angry sun from Super Mario 3 (cant remember his real name) And he would have basically the same thing as kracko, where he swoops down at you.
Another sweet AT could be Kamek, the witch from Yoshi's Island who flies on the broomstick making boss's grow really large. She couls do similar things to the person who uses her. Either she makes you really large, or makes you large and shrinks all the other people.

Maybe, but I prefer the REAL Kamek, the one we all know as MALE Kamek, you know, the one from Mario World 2, Super Princess Peach, and Mario Galaxy?

That's not saying Kamek is female in Yoshi's Island, right?

Anyway, I had thought Kamek would be a good AT, exactly like that person described it: making you big.

Waluigi would be a good AT too, but I don't know what they should make him do. Throw soccer balls, swing a tennis racket...

A Goron was an AT I though of a while ago. It would basically curl into a ball and roll towards a player.

Jimmy P. from WarioWare would be a good AT: he basically just dances, but for that he has to turn off the lights and put out a disco ball... Nobody would see where they are except the one who summoned Jimmy P. for a short while.

If Midna+Wolf Link don't become playable, Midna (alone) should be an AT, grabbing someone with her hair or something...

Actually, that would go for all popular contenders to the character roster who don't make it: maybe Bowser Jr., or Wolf...

I doubt any Paper Mario characters will make it in, unless Dimentio or the Shadow Queen decides to conspire with the Ancient Minister.

I'd like to see some more Kirby characters. Smash Bros. is a Kirby game at heart.

Vaati as a boss. He wouldn't be much playable, and he's really not major enough to be playable. However, I sigh at the fact that Zant will most likely make it over him.

Midna for an AT. With that wierd magic of hers, she could turn characters into animals. Mario into a Raccoon, Ganon into a piggy, that sort of thing.

On second thought, that might take too much effort of Sakurai's part. It'd be awesome, though.

As for bosses, how about the giant truck from SA2 City Escape? You could fight through crowds of enemies on the back of it and gradually work your way up to the cab, where you take control of it and. . .Run over Primids? I dunno.

I think Psycho Mantis could be a real cool AT. He could make it where the game over screen appears, but you can still see the fight in the corner of the screen. Or he could make it so that the movement controls are reversed, as in you have to hit down to jump, or right to go left. Of course, his effects would only last for a short amount of time.
