Smash Rookie
As shown in the nintendo direct earlier today, the Moon from Majoras Mask seems to be an assist trophy! A one-time hit, of course... but Skull Kid was not included in the assist trophy at all. Why?
Skull kid was clearly an assist trophy in Smash 4, and his ability wasn't the moon, but some sort of slowing ability (i dont remember exactly).
Now, back to the main topic of this thread, if they wanted to include the Moon as an assist trophy, why would they get rid of Skull Kid? From Majora's Mask, it's quite clear that Skull Kid's sole purpose in the game was to call down the Moon upon Termina. It would only make sense that if they really wanted to include the Moon as an assist trophy, then the only logical option is to have Skull Kid appear in smash ultimate to actually perform the ability, since the only assist trophy that Skull Kid should realistically appear in would be the one with the moon. That way, we have both the Moon AND Skull kid in smash ultimate!
But, what if something entirely different is true...?
I propose that if Sakurai really wanted to include "everyone", then excluding Skull Kid's appearance in Smash Ultimate when he was clearly an assist trophy in the previous game seems a little bit fishy. What if they included the Moon as an assist trophy, and purposefully excluded Skull Kid from it simply because they have plans to make Skull Kid a playable character, with a final smash that is not the Moon?
Thinking about it more, Legend of Zelda was one of nintendo's greatest hits recently due to Breath of the Wild... yet we still have NOT received a legend of zelda NEWCOMER.
In addition, the inclusion of King K. Rool and Simon Belmont clearly means that Sakurai has an eye on the CLASSIC games from the past when he creates these new characters in addition to fan favorites.
Of course this is speculation... because if he's not in the Moon assist trophy, then where could he possibly be!?
Lemme know what you guys think!
