We need to start running a Smash 4 deconfirmed pool, a la celebrity dead pools.

 

[Moonlight]

Having literally no expectations saved the day.

Oh well.

 

[Benzychenz]

Brb preordering the game so I can cancel it.

Here's a trophy of Wonder Red from Wonderful 101 for WiiU! Playable Fighters have their own trophies too!*

Spoiler

not the actual comment

Actual Comment : Pic of the day. Fight! The Wonderful 100!! We also made trophies of some of the other Wonderful Ones.

 

[JazzmanZ]

SAKURAIIII

 

[StreetsAhead]

Well, he confirms there's some other Wonderful Ones trophies in the Japanese comment...Red, Blue, Pink, and Green maybe?

 

[Loco4Coco]

Sakurai can't crush my dreams, they're already dead.

 

[Vibranium]

If it helps any, I think Waluigi's got a much better chance in the next game than Wonder Red does ...

Thanks, but with the way the company treats him I'm not so sure

But really, it sucks that Wonder Red didn't make it, there could have been some cool movesets.

 

[nns3d]

Wait, the trophy's real?!?!

Dream dead

 

[Beelzebufo]

That's cool! I didn't think he'd make it in the game at all, W101 represent!

EDIT: Did people actually expect him? He's not on the leaked list, and he's not exactly a major piece of Nintendo history. Kinda lame that he didn't get an AT when Dillon did though.

An armadillo from a download-only game made it to Assist Trophy status before Wonder Red. Fucking Waluigi made it to Assist Trophy status.

Sakurai you magnificent bastard.

I don't think you'd have a hard time convincing anyone that Waluigi is more important than both of those other characters.

God dammit.

Sakurai you magnificent bastard.

 

[BGBW]

Cool. So with this Viewtiful Joe trophy we pretty much have confirmation that third parties can have trophies that represent their wider library rather than just the one series their one reo is from.

 

[Ivan 3414]

It's hilarious that people actually expected him to be playable.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Super early, super trolly pic.

No Miiverse description yet.

OH SNAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPP

 

[rekameohs]

dis Sakurai though

 

[Beelzebufo]

Dillon is a first party Nintendo character, Wonder Red is not.

Isn't he? I thought his game was published by Nintendo. Is he like 2nd party then?

 

[Troubled Bat]

Don't worry guys, this just confirms DLC and Wonder Red is one of the characters.

 

[JoeM86]

Isn't he? I thought his game was published by Nintendo. Is he like 2nd party then?

Wonder Red is first party, yes. Nintendo own the IP

 

[HawthorneKitty]

It's hilarious that people actually expected him to be playable.

Not as hilarious as Waluigi.

 

[TheGreatLugia]

Sakurai only posted this so more people will ask Kamiya about Smash on Twitter.

 

[rekameohs]

Sorry, got the info for Dillon's wrong. Both were developed outside of Nintendo, but published by Nintendo - so they still own the characters.

 

[Roo]

lol
Well done.

 

[Benzychenz]

Diplomacy has failed, we're gonna have to get him playable by force. Who's with me?

 

[Anth0ny]

fuck not even an assist trophy

for a character that lends himself so well to smash brothers

=(

 

[Hyperactivity]

I can just imagine Sakurai trophy trolling for the rest of the week, and he'll show a trophy of a shaky veteran (not Snake though, because if MGS is in it'll be obvious) and reveal the veteran on Friday

LUCAS TROPHY tomorrow Sakurai

 

[Richie]

Dillon having an assist trophy while the Wonderful stay as trophies is nothing, no, the thing here is realizing that Sonic Lost World got a stage before TW101.

 

[Berordn]

Don't worry guys, this just confirms DLC and Wonder Red is one of the characters.

Ah yes, the classic Mario Kart 8 disappointment reaction.

 

[SkullHydra]

I don't think anyone actually expected Wonder Red to be playable. We were just really hoping he would be anyway...

 

[TheGreatLugia]

Democracy has failed, we're gonna have to get him playable by force. Who's with me?

About as many people who bought TW101.

Spoiler

I'm sorry =(

 

[Troubled Bat]

Ah yes, the classic Mario Kart 8 disappointment reaction.

What's a Mario Kart 8?

 

[astrogamer]

Seeing how Sakurai is putting the effort to make multiple Wonderful 101 trophies, I think we might get some representation of them. Maybe some music or even a stage

...Not seeing the relevance of this.

Incoming Kamiya Twitter meltdown

 

[foxuzamaki]

I'd like to take a moment to point out how good wonder red looks when he isnt purposely gimped by graphics, look at the detail on him and how good he looks when he isnt chibified.

 

[RomanceDawn]

Pretty sure the W101 is a Nintendo 1st party IP.

Too bad for Wonder Red. At the same time this doesn't outright deconfirm him. Watch Sakurai pull an Ashly with his follow up post. "FYI he is only a trophy. Not even an animated Assist Trophy. Just a regular-you better be happy I thought this much of him-trophy."

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Democracy has failed, we're gonna have to get him playable by force. Who's with me?

Miiverse is thataway, bro.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Even the Japanese comments are like 'Isn't he a 3rd party?'

Also, MAX posts the same darn thing every day.

"櫻井さんはSSB4ウィキにいる人、クラシックリンク、ゴエモンと八重のニンテンご検討ください。Please Sakurai-san consider Ninten, Classic Link, Goemon, and Yae who are on SSB4 Wiki."

This should shut people up asking that, then. Many believe it third party, we know better, now this happened.

 

[Benzychenz]

Hmmm yeah, all the background characters on a stage get trophies. THERE'S STILL HOPE!

Just watch, now that the Nintendo fans are sure W101 is 1st party it will just start to miraculously sell like crazy.
