Just a friendly reminder that adding "Anyway back on topic" or something similar to a post does not magically make it completely topic related.
And just because a character seems frivolous in a given role ("x" as playable, "y" as an assist, etc.) to you personally doesn't mean it's impossible/won't happen.
On a more personal perspective, I think that Phosphora's incredibly detailed trophy would actually encourage the other side of Palutena leak argument, considering it seems that all KI:U models are getting revamped rather than just ported, meaning Palutena could indeed be an incredibly detailed Assist Trophy rather than playable. I always found the whole "but her fingers are too detailed!" point to be silly.
