Uh... What? Myself, and everyone I know, could perform a smash attack easily after being told how to do one.

Well you and your friends are probably gamers to begin with. And trust me, that means alot!

Ahaha, Dr. Wright assist trophy! =D

The Traveller · « **Reply #853 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:13:11 PM »

Dr Wright from the SNES version of Sim City is a playable character!!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #854 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:13:44 PM »

No, assist trophy... =3

Mashiro · « **Reply #855 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:15:41 PM »

Lol awesome assist trophy. They really are putting an uncanny amount of effort into this game.

The Traveller · « **Reply #856 on:** July 09, 2007, 08:26:45 PM »

Awww assist... but still, tis cool.

Kairon · « **Reply #857 on:** July 09, 2007, 09:25:56 PM »

Holding the button down won't make any difference there, as the time of the combo will still be identical.

This isn't even close to the same thing as the C-Stick.

If this were Street Fighter 2, this change would be like using a turbo button.
In Street Fighter two the C-Stick would be the equivalent of having a macro button the has all of the special moves programmed into it.

I know I'm in the minority here but I was really hoping that they would go "rhythm" based this time.

It be super weird for him to be playable. Especially with the ability to summon skyscrapers.

Rhythm based would be cool, but hard to teach...and also could be frustrating when you start a attacking and two other players go after you. You really need that quickness and simplicity so you can think more about how to attack and maneuver around 3 players instead of just one.

As for Dr. Wright, he is the bomb. An awesome inclusion and is totally obscure. Way to go.

I like it like PSO. Where it would be sort of timed. In other words you could keep during your "weak" attack as fast as you please but if you won't to pull of a meaningful combo than you need to learn the rhythm. For example Mario might be short long short short. Which could be the equivalent to: Fast animated attack, longer reach more powerful punch attack, kick, finisher. If you didn't want a piece you just mess up the pattern. Everyone would probably be short first just because fast attacks are more useful for hits. It would coincide with the animations. So there isn't such a disjoint and penalty for not synchronizing with your character.

I think this is a good time for me to bring up my personal Assist Trophy expectation and wish list!

Majora Moon - Slowly crashes down onto the playing field, crushing everyone in its wake...
Koopa Clown Car - Flies by and tips over, dumping out Mecha-Koopas that'll walk around until they are destroyed...
Ridley - No-brainer (Personally I'd rather have him playable, but I have a feeling he'll pop up here instead)...
Goomba - Think of it as the Goldeen of Assist Trophies...

Marin - Sings "Ballad of the Wind Fish" to put characters to sleep (Please, oh please...I want a remix of the song so bad...)
Metroid - Flies around and attaches to nearest character, draining energy and slowing them down...
Viruses - Lines of Viruses fall from the sky and pile up...Can crush you and will block your path...
Bullet Bill - Think Unown, but coming in horizontally and with more explosive power...
Lakitu - Floats overhead, throwing Spiked Beetles onto players...
Earthbound UFOs - Do what UFOs do best...Zap things!
Poo - PK Starstorm
Professor Oak - Throws pokeballs, which will capture players inside them for a few seconds, giving time for the Assist Trophy user to grab them and throw them off the edge!

Mr. Resetti - Comes up and buries unsuspecting players with lots of text! (Ahaha, that'd be an amusing sight...)
Pikmin - No-brainer...Lots of tiny Pikmin attack players or slow them down...
Donkey Kong (Arcade Version) - Throws barrels across the stage...
Ray MK II - I'd rather him be playable, but an Assist Trophy would be fine...
Little Mac - I have a feeling he'll be playable, but this is just in case...

And for laughs:
Sheik - Ahaha, I don't know why, but I have this itching feeling that he'll be thrown here...Just imagine the angst that'd hit forums everywhere!

I personally think this will be the case also. Unless Sakurai decides to weaken a few of her attacks... AND slow her the heck down. Gah. o_O

Adrock · « **Reply #863 on:** July 10, 2007, 08:05:10 PM »

The BUMPER is back!

YES!!!!!!!!!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #864 on:** July 10, 2007, 09:07:00 PM »

Neat, I always liked the N64 version more than the Melee version...

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #865 on:** July 10, 2007, 11:43:09 PM »

We need to be shown less items and more awesome assist trophies. Dr. Wright > Bumper.

Mashiro · « **Reply #866 on:** July 10, 2007, 11:48:40 PM »

Lol the bumper makes an epic return. Should have showed this at E3! MEGATON!

jk =P

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #867 on:** July 11, 2007, 02:25:57 AM »

The Bumper is one of the best items from the original...and it is finally Back. Praise be to the Nintendo gods.

This item was 3 parts fun, evil, and useful. The return only means good things.

Ceric · « **Reply #868 on:** July 11, 2007, 02:50:28 AM »

For Evil...

EasyCure · « **Reply #869 on:** July 11, 2007, 10:07:46 AM »

Bill:

the earthbound UFOs should give characters colds then inflict small amounts of damage every few seconds until KOd

that's what they did best every the i encountered one... Lovable bow wearing bastards

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #870 on:** July 11, 2007, 10:22:28 AM »

Good call...That reminds me: they need to bring in the Ramblin' Evil Mushroom as an item! Just as in the game, it'd make a mushroom grow out of your head and mix up your directions for a short period of time... =D

Ceric · « **Reply #871 on:** July 11, 2007, 10:28:39 AM »

The Cursa from Super Paper Mario as Assist Trophies.
