But what would EBA do? Personally I have them make it harder for you to be smashed out and easier for you to smash others.

I hope you have percentage chance to get randoms ones you don't have but it mostly comes from the collection you built up. Puts more into the trophies. I hope you are vulnerable while you hold the trophy up to summon. That way people can counter-act it easier. The hammer bros looks nice.

I like this assist trrophies a lot, don't get me wrong, but now the chances of Tingle as playable character are reduced

if he makes it he would be an assist trophy most likely.

At least he would be invincible.

I bet they'd be willing to make an exception for Tingle.

Dance? Maybe dance so hard that they turn the Earth itself into a giant laser?

Or maybe they'd just dance around and hit people with their fast moves and kicks.

Right now I am calling that a Metroid will be an assist Character. It will go and drain the energy (damage them) and then give you that energy back...unless it is killed first.

you wouldnt be able to kill the metroid, as the blog stated and mantidor reiterated, assist trophy characters are invincible.

Not so:

"By the way, the majority of Assist Trophies are invincible."

Most will be, but not all going from that comment.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #680 on:** July 02, 2007, 05:57:19 AM »

I sure as hell hope you can kill Tingle.

I've wanted to punt his irritating ass out of the Termina Bay stage for years.

mantidor · « **Reply #681 on:** July 02, 2007, 05:59:12 AM »

I think that refers to assist trophies like the nintendog where invincibility isn't an issue.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #682 on:** July 02, 2007, 06:00:20 AM »

Maybe someone can be KOed, hit the screen, and fall on the dog.

But yes, assist characters should be KO-able.

Though...

"By the way, the majority of Assist Trophies are invincible. Trying to fight back is useless, so just run away."

Damn.

Bolded for hope.

Kenology · « **Reply #684 on:** July 02, 2007, 08:34:23 AM »

Wow, this assist trophy idea is nice! Pokeballs but only better. Reminds me more of the Capcom crossover help characters.

I swore Samarai Goroh was a selectable playable character at first though...

Same. They really need to say, "Assist Character: Samurai Goroh" so we don't get excited.

My jaw dropped when I saw it as well.

Sessha · « **Reply #686 on:** July 02, 2007, 01:30:42 PM »

I'm excited to see what obscure characters they will be including. If Ness is included in Brawl it would be cool to see Pokey in his Spider Mech. But it would be nice to see the Koopa kids get some well deserved face time.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #687 on:** July 02, 2007, 02:02:42 PM »

Well Personally I hope one of the Koopa kids is playable in the game...or perhaps like Ice Climbers two at a time.

Take a glance at the top right corner of the update, and it'll tell you if it's a character or an item, so you don't get your hopes up.

The background of the stage could be replaced with Giygas while Pokey was running around causing trouble. :D

While it be awesome to see them playable I think I rather have them as assist trophies simply because it could include them all. Then they could have a Koopa Family event. Where there was always at least 1 member of the koopa family on the field at a time and all assist trophies were other or minions.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #691 on:** July 02, 2007, 03:43:34 PM »

Yeah, I like that kind of thinking, but I think it should be a stage. Something like a castle or an airship, where all of the Koopa Kids are there, cameoing their battle styles in SMB 3 and SMW, with dry bones, thwomps, and magikoopas also attacking. I think that would make for an interesting level. Or perhaps a fun adventure stage.

IceCold · « **Reply #692 on:** July 02, 2007, 07:22:13 PM »

This is amazing.. there's hundreds of minor characters in Nintendo games that I'd like to see - Fawful anyone?

Man, I'll cry if some Pikmin show up as assist characters - I want Olimar as a full-fledged one, dammit!

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #693 on:** July 02, 2007, 08:02:50 PM »

Bowser, nice. Also...

To be honest, there are a LOT of characters that offer a slightly different flavor this time around. If you think they’re all going to be the same as they have been, it’ll be rough for you.

Oh snap.

Oh my, oh my. Let the tournament Smash junkies start their collective ranting...

*sits back to watch the onslaught*

Adrock · « **Reply #695 on:** July 02, 2007, 08:40:50 PM »

This could potentially be very awesome. Tweaking characters may even things out to the point where a slow character like Bowser won't get annihilated by a faster character every time. Conversely, they could take formerly great characters and make them totally blow (like Kirby from original to Melee). It might be a lofty expectation, but my hope for the game is that every single character has a fair chance of winning each match.

Several characters in Melee had a lot of potential but were completely ruined by the balance issues. Take, for example, the Ice Climbers. If they weren't so pathetically weak, they'd be a hell of a lot more fun to play as. I like the Ice Climbers; it's just hard to use them seeing as they have basically one finisher, next to no range and they're not even that fast. I'll take tweaked characters any day.

Also, some Assist Trophy suggestions (apologies in advance for repeats): Mouser, Triclyde, Koopa Kids, Kamek, Stalfos, Wall Master, Goron, Starman Super, a Chozo, a Metroid, the X parasites.

And I know Castlevania probably won't be represented, but Medusa Heads would be pretty cool.

Sarail · « **Reply #696 on:** July 02, 2007, 08:49:17 PM »

Don't say that Castlevania won't be represented. Simon Belmont has every bit of a chance to make it into Brawl as Solid Snake has done.

Anything can happen with Brawl. Anything.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #697 on:** July 02, 2007, 08:55:57 PM »

If you think Ice Climbers are weak, ur doin it rong. My best friend plays Ice Climbers and OWNS as them.

But regardless, I really hope they make Bowser not suck. He was so badass, but he was made of so much fail.

Adrock · « **Reply #698 on:** July 02, 2007, 09:11:15 PM »

Ehh... they could've been better, like most of the rest of the cast.

I'd love to see a Belmont, but I think it's a long shot to see 2 selectable Konami characters in the game. I won't complain if I'm proven wrong though.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #699 on:** July 02, 2007, 09:24:00 PM »

I hope they announce a release date at E3. Just so I can stop fretting and wondering.
