Ok now heres an interesting thought... we all know now about boss fights... and some characters who wouldnt cut it as playable are either assist trophy's or bosses sooo what if... after u defeat a boss u unlock them as an assist trophy? i think that'd be cool who else has thoughts on this? also that means if this theory is true then the assist trophy Andross could also possibly be a boss

The Andross thing could be true, but then don't you think Sakurai would've made an update of him as a Boss instead of an Assist Trophy?

I don't like this idea at all.

Perhaps... Although I do think Andross will be a boss; though not in the form of AT. ( The monkey looking one...)

The idea could work; though some bossses may have to be resized.

My theory?

Two Androsses.

Why else would Sakurai use an outdated Andross instead of his most recent incarnation?

So, defeat Andross as boss, and unlock Andross as AT. However, boss Andross looks more like his SF64 / SFAdv counterpart.

That, or you could just get AT Andross at the beginning.

well its still just theory but it could be that if u beat andross as a boss u get an assist trophy of him but he isnt liek the boss he just does different things so if petey pirahna is defeated and u unlock him as an AT hes not going to act like how he was when he was a boss hed do somethign more simple and easy to run away or dodge from.

Bad idea. Unlockable assist trophies are too complex.
You had to earn the trophies in Melee, though. You even had to complete event matches for some of them. I could see it working in the same general way for Brawl—only (some of) the trophies actually do stuff.

A trophy such as old school Andross may be one that has special circumstances attached to obtaining it.

You guys don't get how ATs and Bosses works. They're different.

ATs are not like playable characters, but like pokemons. They appaer, do a programmed attack and vanish.
Bosses are like playable characters but with less attacks and different physics. Like master hand, that had a few attacks and free moving.

They're different systems and can't work togeter.
It's just like a pokeball summoning a pikachu.

ahem... you aren't getting what im saying yes i'm aware of how AT's work yes there like pokemon what i'm saying is after u defeat a boss you either unlock him or a different version of him as an AT... he wont be like the boss at all he'll do his simple attack and run and thats why this idea would work. (Example: andross boss(starfox adventure version) is defeated and u get andross AT(n64 version) tadaaa!

I see no reason why Sakurai would give the characters that already have the honor of being "bosses" in adventure mode further representation as ATs. I would think Sakurai would want to give other characters a chance of being part of the game, you know what i mean?

There will probably be assist trophies in the game that are similar to bosses from the SE. An Andross boss for example, makes sense, as does a petey piranha assist trophy. However, I doubt there would be any formula that says all bosses will have Assist Trophy counterparts.
