The Little Witch of Diamond City - Ashley - The Witch retreats. For now.

[Erotic&Heretic]

Who else is reloading the Japanese site like mad? I'm both really nervous and excited, but mostly nervous.

I believe that we are a lot doing that right now!

 

[Noipoi]

Nothing yet...

 

[Samcrumpit]

Anyone got a link to the site?

 

[LittleKrool]

Welp, let's see what happens today. If we get a new Wario assist then that will boost Ashley's chance. Here's hoping for Mona Assist!

 

[NintenZ]

Maybe 10:00 then if not somewhere around 9:00?

Still nothing since yesterday's update.

It's the Rodin Assist Trophy.

Funny timing for an AT.

 

[Noipoi]

Welp, that' that.

Ashley lives another day!

 

[NintenZ]

We did inadvertently get Delfino Plaza confirmed... But no Ashley unfortunately...

 

[Dilliciouz]

W-wew goodness...

 

[NintenZ]

In other news, the tag for the WarioWare series has also been removed.

 

[Samcrumpit]

Noooooo! How likely is a Katana trophy for this week now?

 

[EarlTamm]

We did inadvertently get Delfino Plaza confirmed... But no Ashley unfortunately...

Glad to see it's back. And don't be sad over no Ashley, as the only reason they would show Ashley is if she is an assist trophy. This is her living to see another day.

 

[AngrySun88]

It's the Rodin Assist Trophy.

Funny timing for an AT.

You'd think we would have got something WarioWare related, but the hope for Ashley still lives on.

 

[LittleKrool]

But no Ashley unfortunately...

That is the best outcome, actually. At least she wasn't deconfirmed, and it isn't likely they'd reveal her as a character so lightly either. So, Ashley lives another day.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

Well, the hype train continue it's journey. And I'm really glad to see Delfino back!

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

You'd think we would have got something WarioWare related, but the hope for Ashley still lives on.

Considering that yesterday's post was a glaring advertisement, they probably don't need to spend another post specifically just to advertise.

 

[Domino11332]

Oh my I god when the page started loading the first thing I saw was “Assist Trophy” and for a brief moment I was so scared. Also yeah, Delfino. Neat.

 

[VillagerX3]

DELFINO PLAZA CONFIRMED ATLEAST YES

 

[NintenZ]

There is always a chance we could see another blog post of the like tomorrow, as they sometimes update the blog multiple times in a day, but I wouldn't bet on a new fighter.

 

[AngrySun88]

Exactly. If they revealed Ashley today, it probably would have been for an assist trophy. It's unlikely we would have gotten a character reveal outside of a Direct. So the hope for her being playable isn't dead yet.

Also, I think they inadvertently revealed Delfino Plaza's return.

 

[LittleKrool]

When Ashley joins the battle, Red is in charge of being the assist trophy
Red : Leave it to me!

 

[Arkaizer]

As far as I can tell, they usually only put up two entries on the same day if one of them is a music post, which is usually on Wednesday. Either way, looks like we dodged a bullet today.

 

[Samcrumpit]

What is the schedule for these blog updates? This can't be all for Wario posts for this week.

 

[Noipoi]

Don't take this as a failure for Ashley my friends, take it as a victory!
Everyday we don't see her Assist Trophy is a day we get closer to her reveal trailer!
Rejoice my friends! Rejoice over nothing!

 

[Tony Duck]

I wonder if sakurai knows he’s making people anxious....

Never. I will despair over nothing.

The man is a professional troll. I wouldn't be surprised

 

[VillagerX3]

Hey, atleast it was Rodin who was shown as an assist trophy rather than Ashley as one this week.

 

[EarlTamm]

And hey, for all you tin hat wearing people out there, Rodin is from Bayonetta, which is all about witches.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

If Ashley is going to be revealed soon? I could totally see Sakurai giving a subtle hint for fun. Guy loves to play around with stuff like this. It's fun~

 

[ToilerMoiler]

whew, Ashley still has a chance. But I am very happy that my favorite stage from Brawl is back! I've always liked the cruise/traveling type stages

 

[LittleKrool]

Is Smash Bros U gonna be playable at Evo? if so, I hope it's a new build so we can see more Assists and get mini heart-attacks with each one

 

[meleebrawler]

Even in the unfortunate chance she ends up as an assist trophy, we still need to support her. Especially if DLC happens. They've never upgraded an assist to playable in the same game, and clearly she'd have competition in that regard, but just in case it's possible we gotta support her even in the worst case scenario.

Is it a coincidence this character is fairly close to how I imagine Ashley working? I think not.

Yes, it will be there from what I heard.

For how uneventful this day was, it certainly felt eventful. We got acquainted with a high profile Ashley fan, got some art from OP, that frickin false alarm that you all blew up about, got a new fanmade moveset for Ashley, and no one got deconfirmed.

 

[Cabbagehead]

Who woulda thunk that today's post would be something completely out-of-the-blue we already knew about. On the bright side, we got a soft confirmation of Delfino Plaza. There. New info. I'll stop complaining for the next three days.

Assuming the EVO gameplay will be put online, I will simply be looking forward to that. I don't expect a character drop, or even a new build of the game. I just like to see new gameplay.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Not Ashley's we are safe

Finally a new stage confirmed (defino plaza from brawl)

 

[LittleKrool]

All we need now is ThAshleyChannel to join this thread, lol.

Welp, today is a good day regardless. Confirmed, Delfino Plaza. Wonder if Gamer will come back, or replaced with a Dimond City stage For Ashley's reveal
