Assist Trophy nights are worth it if only for the meltdowns in Smash Boards.

 

[J@hranimo]

Damn, two ATs in a week? Ok then.

Does this really confirm/deconfirm anything?

 

[Azure J]

The Assist Trophy collection is starting to look more stacked than the newcomers in some senses. :lol

 

[K-A-Deman]

hey look, it's Debbie. Guess we know who's going to join Waluigi and Skull Kid at the 'Not good enough' table...

Spoiler

 

[Superturkeys]

See ya Ghirahim.

[A Link to the Past]

I don't want leaks, I'd rather be surprised by an actual character reveal or a "challenger approaching" splash screen.

I get that, but wouldn't you rather have a good roster, rather than be surprised by a worse one?

 

[Forkball]

Save us Ganon.

Impa will be a Greninja clone.

 

[Zixmar]

Ganon with this design or no buy

 

[Regulus Tera]

There goes part of the Smash Direct trophy theory!

Impa, bro.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Hmm...wonder if this is it for tonight...

I can sense an announcement incoming.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Why not make him a boss in a Zelda stage?

 

[Xpike]

Well, this definitely means that if the trophy theory is true, we're getting Impa. There's no one else it could realistically be.

Spoiler

I want Groose so hard but it's never going to happen.

And if Impa is true, it gives the Smashboards insanity and completely bassless "missing 5" more cred, giving the leak more cred in turn

 

[BGBW]

Ghirahim is an assist trophy. Where does that leave that "Trophy Leak?"

Shouldn't it be known as Trophy Hint since it was Nintendo that released the information?

 

[Greenzxy]

Is that really his tongue or is he just chewing on some fruit roll up?

 

[Juansho]

Why not make him a boss in a Zelda stage?

Because there are cooler ones than that douche

 

[Nintendoga]

That's one less competitor for Ridley's spot

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Whoa, Ghirahim is an Assist Trophy! Awesome. I know there were quite a few people who wanted him playable, but it never seemed that likely to me.

His tongue seems a little long, though...

Well, at any rate, the leak lives on!

 

[The Great Gonzales]

I look away for ten minutes and Sakurai drops Ghirahim on us.

I'm glad he's an AT; I didn't expect him to be in this game at all.

 

[Boss Doggie]

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

 

[georgetheplushie]

Well, this definitely means that if the trophy theory is true, we're getting Impa. There's no one else it could realistically be.

Spoiler

I want Groose so hard but it's never going to happen.

I feel like at some point there was a strong fan backing for Vaati, but Impa definitely makes the most sense.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Now Impa may get a chance.

HW version please, would work better with "generic" Link and Zelda.

 

[foxuzamaki]

That dream, tis dead

 

[SenorArdilla]

Shouldn't it be known as Trophy Hint since it was Nintendo that released the information?

Yeah, you're right. Trophy Theory it is.

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Aside from the tongue, Ghirahim's model looks better than Link's.

 

[Crocodile]

Skull Kid, Midna AND Ghirahim? That's a lot of new additional Zelda content. Would be a crime if they couldn't squeeze in Impa as playable. She's like the only decent choice left.

The Assist Trophy collection is starting to look more stacked than the newcomers in some senses. :lol

Yeah its def getting to the point where you could make a separate Smash game with a roster pulled just from the Assist Trophies and still have a great roster

 

[Kyzon]

What's this Trophy Leak thing that people are talking bout?

Linkies please :3

 

[Neoxon]

WHAT DID I SAY!?!?!?!?

 

[Azure J]

I feel like at some point there was a strong fan backing for Vaati, but Impa definitely makes the most sense.

Vaati was only ever a thing in the pre-Brawl days. Now, it's pretty much Impa or Ghirahim and the latter got FYI'd.

 

[J@hranimo]

Impa might still be playable? Yesssssssss!

...I'm going to bed now. This is still nuts.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Do we know how long the cords on the Smash Gamecube controllers will be? Original 6 feet or that awesome 10 feet?

 

[SoldnerKei]

he better do this

 

[Het_Nkik]

Is Midna returning as an AT?

Um... rather than returning, isn't she making her debut as an AT?

 

[Nintendoga]

Does this mean Ganondorfriday tomorrow? Oh I hope it means Ganondorfriday tomorrow.

 

[GamerSoul]

Never expected that goof to be playable but yea we have a lot of great ATs. It's getting pretty crazy.

 

[Juansho]

What's this Trophy Leak thing that people are talking bout?

Linkies please :3

 

[Hatchtag]

Well, this definitely means that if the trophy theory is true, we're getting Impa. There's no one else it could realistically be.

Spoiler

I want Groose so hard but it's never going to happen.

I think Tetra's pretty likely, too, imo. She represents the toon part of the franchise, appears in a few games, and was possibly intended for Brawl. But yeah, I think Impa is pretty likely too.

 

[Golnei]

It's vaguely amusing that even with his trademark tongue acrobatics and interesting facial expressions, Ghirahim looks far more human than Link. Kind of cruel to shove the hideous Wii U model in our faces after giving us some nice shots of the superior 3DS one yesterday...

 

[tiggerkiddo]

We deserve Raccoon Tarin as an Assist Trophy.

 

[Papercuts]

What's this Trophy Leak thing that people are talking bout?

Linkies please :3

I think it's the theory that the one direct awhile back that had random trophy interludes was hinting at a character at each of the series shown.

 

[Durden77]

Did not expect him, nor want him playable, but glad to see him make an appearance. An AT is perfect for him.

 

[SuperOrez]

I'm so sad =(

 

[JediLink]

WHAT DID I SAY!?!?!?!?

If you're going to gloat, you should at least put a link to your post so that we can see that you did, indeed, call it.

 

[Majukun]

Damn, two ATs in a week? Ok then.

Does this really confirm/deconfirm anything?

There was that thory that said that the trophies showed at the direct weren't random but hinted at newcomers..palutena,this guy,ridley and another that i don't remember

 

[Captain Europe]

Aside from the tongue, Ghirahim's model looks better than Link's.

Wish HW Link and Zelda were in this =(

 

[neto]

Does this mean Ganondorfriday tomorrow? Oh I hope it means Ganondorfriday tomorrow.

Fridayemise

he better do this

Yes please!

 

[J@hranimo]

Man what? Were they being that literal with who the newcomer would be?

I thought the theory was that someone from that series would be a newcomer, not exactly who they mention...

 

[Neoxon]

If you're going to gloat, you should at least put a link to your post so that we can see that you did, indeed, call it.

Remember that dream I had about Ghirahim being an Assist Trophy? It was from a thread or two back

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

[The Great Gonzales]

Ghirahim's tongue looks so weird here, like it was just cut and pasted into his mouth. It's also at least twice as long as it ever was in Skyward Sword.

 

[Growlie19]

Neat, Ghirahim's an assist! I know he was requested somewhat frequently, but his odds weren't very good. Nice to see more Skyward Sword representation, regardless.
