LOL, Shofu is against Reggie

Edit:

IDK I just kind of found that funny.

It was the first comment on NoA twitter comment section about Reggie in Smash

Pic of the day Here's a new Assist Trophy! The Skull Kid I repeat, it's an Assist Trophy, not a new fighter. The characters announced on the website are the fighters!

Welp, Assist Trophies are back. And there's one fully debunked character. Well, two, technically. Majora's Mask, and that specific version of Skull Kid.

 

[Big-Cat]

Majora's Mask remake confirmed.

The Skull Kid I repeat, it's an Assist Trophy, not a new fighter.

It's kinda funny he has to repeat himself.

Also we all know what the Skull Kid will do for an attack...

 

[Deleted member]

Can't wait to see what Skull Kid does as an Assist Trophy. Never liked the idea of him being playable, but I think seeing him as an Assist Trophy is neat.

Also, NeoGAF is having a sort of meltdown over this.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Majora's Mask remake confirmed.

Hell yes.

He's going to moon you?

 

[N3ON]

Well it's not surprising he's emphasizing Skull Kid isn't playable, last time around it took a few AT reveals on the DOJO, complete with page in the item section and everything before people started to realize Goroh and Dr. Wright were in fact not playable.

And because even as clear as he can be, I guarantee some headline tomorrow (or I guess later today) will be that Skull Kid is now playable.

 

[Croph]

Holy **** Skull Kid. O.o

Damn, that's hawt.

Also, glad to see ATs returning!

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Aww...I was rooting for Skull Kid

But I knew he wouldn't be playable.

Still cool though

...Majora's Mask remake anyone?

 

[---]

Screw the remake, give me a sequel. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's ***

These are the same sites the gave Forza 5 a pass despite its horrendous micro-transaction system that compromised the game play (and they've never been good as journalism for gaming anyway), so...

ZoMg, MaJuRa'S MoOsK hD 4 VgX cOnFuRmd?! (Miiverse in the morning, calling it right now.)

 

[κomıc]

Cute.

Why is his hands glued together though?

 

[augustoflores]

neat!
if he does drop the moon, how will that work in the game? i would have settled for blow darts, but his hand position tells me he's dropping the moon.

there could be many reasons why his hands are glued together.

so you dont have to animate fingers; lesser polygons; because thats how it was in the original, too keep it consistent with the original game; this is the ported model for the remake on 3DS.

 

[Vintage Creep]

The most interesting question is: what will happen in the Mario Galaxy stage?

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Skull Kid as an AT?

OH HELL YEAH!!!!!!!

Good to see the Skull Kid in Smash in some form. I wonder what his ability is though. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

EDIT: How did I NOT guess that he would be dropping the Moon? (man I must be more tired than I think I am)

Still, I'm not positive that's what he'll be doing, though it's extremely likely he'll drop the Moon on the stage.

 

[FalKoopa]

Well, I wanted to posted this earlier but Smashboards went down again...

We're now in the phase of speculation where characters will start getting officially disconfirmed. Brace yourselves, guys!

 

[Typhl0si0n]

It's been awhile.

So, Skull Kid deconfirmed for playability, but at least he's an assist trophy.

The boss from the Streetpass series was confirmed to be either a boss, assist, or background object, which makes Mii's probability higher, which is cool.

Besides that, nothing really big. Eh, I suppose we'll get a character reveal in due time. It's got to be close.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I never had supported Skull Kids but I like what I see in the pic of the day. Good to hear that the Assist Trophy (aka dream killers in a jar) is back too.

 

[Frostwraith]

With Tingle being the only Zelda series Assist Trophy in Brawl, it means that, so far, all Zelda series ATs have been characters from Majora's Mask. Coincidence? Possibly so.

I do wonder what kind of move will Skull Kid use though.

 

[Typhl0si0n]

I do wonder what kind of move will Skull Kid use though.

Probably the most notable thing he's done-Dropping the moon on the stage. I don't see him doing much else. Then again, I've never played MM, so I can't really say for sure.

 

[Vintage Creep]

I thought the board would've been down for a lot more. Well, good I guess.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Skull Kid being deconfirmed still kinda hurts. I mean, he looks so damn awesome! Still would've liked him to become playable... Easily the best potential Zelda newcomer after Impa.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Look at it this way: He hardly had a chance either way, at least now he'll have an awesome model once people get to making custom character PSAs.

 

[Vintage Creep]

Cute.

Why is his hands glued together though?

They're not. Skull Kid has two creepy hands formed only by two fingers, one of which is four times bigger than the other. He draw lines on it just to make it look like a normal hand and don't look ridiculous.

 

[Arcadenik]

This was probably Sakurai's face when he deconfirmed Skull Kid...

 

[Curious Villager]

This was probably Sakurai's face when he deconfirmed Skull Kid...

"Let the Terrible Fates commence!"

Now that I think about it, Skull Kid is actually the perfect first Assist Trophy to reveal for these games.

 

[Arcadenik]

Yes... whenever a popular character is revealed as an Assist Trophy... there needs to be a macro image of that Assist Trophy with the words "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?" with Skull Kid superimposed on it.

 

[Diddy Kong]

No seriously Skull Kid would've made for the most awesome new character... Still hope to see him in a Smash game some day.

 

[Arcadenik]

It is really interesting how both Assist Trophies from the Zelda series are from Majora's Mask... Tingle in Brawl and now Skull Kid in SSB4... I wonder if Tingle is still an Assist Trophy or he's upgraded as a playable character this time...

I wish Sakurai would add Cuccos as Assist Trophy... it would be hilarious to see a bunch of angry birds pecking everyone to death.

Hey, Diddy, it's a good thing Impa isn't an Assist Trophy.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Impa is a playable character Arcadenik, playable characters aren't Assist Trophies.

 

[Curious Villager]

I think Cucco's are better off being regular wandering items like Mr. Saturn and Bob-Omb than an Assist Trophy, said character can use them to float down slowly like the Parasol in Melee and if they get damaged too much, they start rampaging whoever hurt them for a bit.

 

[Typhl0si0n]

I don't know about that, but yeah. Sucks. Kid looks kinda cool, but I'm certain LoZ isn't getting a newcomer anyways. Unless Gdorf is booted and replace, or something. But I doubt that's happening.

 

[Moon Monkey]

My heart goes out to all of the Skull Kid supporters.

 

[Arcadenik]

What if the newcomer is Tingle...? What if Skull Kid replaced Tingle as "the Assist Trophy of the Zelda series" so Tingle could be a newcomer?

 

[Typhl0si0n]

My heart goes out to all of the Skull Kid supporters.

At least he's an assist trophy and wasn't completely ignored.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I really want this to happen now.

 

[Moon Monkey]

I still want a

pokeball summon where

aimlessly flops around on stage, and if any player hits the flopping

it immediately evolves into

and begins to go after whoever attacked him.

Shooting Hyper Beams/Hydro Pumps and Thrashing all over the stage would create complete chaos!

 

[Typhl0si0n]

What if the newcomer is Tingle...? What if Skull Kid replaced Tingle as "the Assist Trophy of the Zelda series" so Tingle could be a newcomer?

I would love to see the reactions afterwards.

 

[mimgrim]

When I saw Skull Kid I laughed. I don't know why. I knew it wasn't a character because of no "warning: character approaching" on the site and figured he was a Assist Trophy. I just laughed, and I can't figure out why, someone tell me why I laughed!!!!!! D:
