Topic: The "yay, trophies" thread (surprises revealed, so maybe minor spoilers?)

[LuigiHann]

Just thought I'd post screenshots of some of the "pleasant surprise" trophies.


Ashley Robbins, from Trace Memory/Another Code. Definitely didn't expect an adventure game character to be hidden away as the 100-hour challenge. I might never have guessed it if Sakurai hadn't posted a list. Her silhouette is pretty ambiguous.


What you can't see in screenshots is that Kyle Hyde's trophy is animated, using the same hand-sketched style used throughout Hotel Dusk. As soon as I saw that, it went from "meh, flat trophy" to "second-best trophy ever."



Love the detail on the Ouendan Trophy.

And the "best trophy ever" award goes to...





What are your favorites?

...THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, now that I got my angry fanboy rabble out of the way, while the number of trophies in Brawl is bigger than Melee's its disappointing that many of them weren't created from the ground up.

As un-even as the trophies were in Melee at least they put a lot of work into them. The trophies in Brawl use models from other games like Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Super Paper Mario, Pokemon Battle Revolution, Mario Strikers, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess among others.

The best ones are those that were created from the ground up, like the trophies LuigiHann posted.

EBA was destined to be an AT. For that oversight alone, Sakurai should be kicked in the teeth.

THIS IS A "YAY TROPHIES" THREAD NOT A "WAAAAAAAAAH I HATE EVERYTHING" THREAD

[Smash_Brother]

Sorry, it's now a "Kick Sakurai in the Teeth Thread".

Deal with it.

The trophies are pretty cool, but since Ouendan/EBA are, by their very definition, characters who assist, not using them as ATs is hard to imagine when it's such an obvious choice.

[LuigiHann]

I'd agree with you, except there are less than 30 assist trophies. If there were a much larger number of assist trophies and still no EBA, I'd be annoyed. The fact is, as assist-worthy as the EBA and Ouendan are, they're still fairly obscure, so I'm happy just to see them included as stickers and trophies. If you want to complain about the low number of assist trophies or the lack of specific assist trophies, why not do it in the nitpick thread or make an assist trophy thread? Just because the EBA have been mentioned in a thread doesn't mean you have to make the same complaint I've seen you make every time the EBA are mentioned in a thread. Or maybe it does.

Anyway, I'm just happy they put so much detail into the trophy. I'd buy it if they sold it as a statuette.

I might agree with you, but Jill from Drill Dozer and whatsername from Band Bros. are both AT's, aren't they as obscure? EBA should've been an assist trophy, period.

Band Bros had an AT and it didn't even make it out to the states (until recently). EBA and Ouendan have a pretty solid fanbase, here and Japan.

The Trace Memory and Hotel Dusk trophies are neat, though.

It also sucks that Mother 3 and the Wario Ware series didn't get that many trophies, because neither have 3D models they could use, which is disappointing because in Melee they actually modeled Paula, Jeff, Poo and Starman in 3D. Couldn't they have just borrowed those models instead? And really, couldn't we have gotten Mona in 3D?

So, DK gets all of his family in trophy form, including Kremlings that were exclusive to Barrel Blast, while Lucas, Ness and Wario get squat...

But moving aside from the negatives, I do LOVE the final smash trophies, mainly because they have so much action going on. It makes for AWESOME Trophy snapshots.

Got any snapshots to post? It'd be awesome if this thread could go back on track

How many trophies reveal panties?  Seems like less this time around.

Have you looked up Agitha's dress? Pure darkness there. It's scary.
