The CUT Assist Trophies and Pokemon of Super Smash Bros Ultimate 

Guys I’m sorry I pronounced Kyogre weird I never know what’s right so I always switch between pronunciations… You can unsubscribe now….. 💔💔

To be fair, Venusaur was a stage hazard on Saffron City in 64

It was honestly really cool that Charizard, Little Mac, Dark Samus, and Isabelle all got upgraded to playable characters!

8:08 When it comes to Wobbuffet, besides Spewpa there is also Pyukumuku, who counters physical attacks like Wobbuffet, but can also be picked up and thrown where it will attack any foes in the path they're thrown in. Which means it does what Wobbuffet did and some more things as well

They might have cut tingle in the transition to ultimate do to the great bay's return,where he is a stage Hazard.But they could have just made it impossible to tingle to Spawn there,just like other assists in the game

9:31-9:34 Ho Ho is in Smash Ultimate. You need to either fight the Ho Ho Spirit(one of the hardest to fight) or play Kalos Pokemon League with hazards on and see if he spawns in the blazing chamber

I believe that Onyx was cut for the simple reason that it's just a bit too hard to react to. Yes, the rocks don't do much damage and complaining about an item not being balanced is like complaining that grass is green, but they do come down quite quickly, so it could be a bit annoying.

Charizard went from a Pokeball Pokémon in 64/Melee, graduated into a full on fighter with Pokémon Trainer in Brawl, was left all alone in Smash 3DS/Wii U, and now his trainer came back with his entire team. Charizard has the most intriguing and fun history out of any Smash Bros fighter. The Smash team always found a way to include them, that’s how popular Charizard is.

I love characters getting upgraded to fighters since it is fun seeing an already represented character be more prominent but also it’s nice for fans of said character

I will forever miss Kat and Ana...I hope they return in the future!!

One thing I find funny is that Venusaur wasn't able to learn earthquake until Ruby & Sapphire, which came out after Melee. Out of all the Kanto starters it's the only one that didn't learn it in gens 1 & 2.

I don’t think Marill was replaced by eevee or fletchling but instead piplup and oshawatt. While it does looks different, functionality wise, they seem much more similar. Additionally, they’re all water type pokemon

I’d love to see some new gen 9 Pokémon in the next smash game, like: Gholdengo, who can use meowth’s old coin spew thing. Annihilape, who deals more/less damage depending on the user’s damage percentage. The final evo of the starters, who would use their respective special moves. (Flower Trick, Torch Song, Aqua Step)

Good video! It would have been cool if you did like a quick tier list or ranking on which assists/pokemon you'd want to come back most at the end. Like a quick recap kind of thing.

Neat video my favourite would have to be Mr Resetti. I normally don’t like the trophies that block the screen but this one’s simply hilarious. I remember back then we used to stop playing the game just to read what he had to say because of how funny it was!

I would love to see rayquaza as a pokeball Pokémon in the next smash game! I love rayquaza!

Common W for the goat content creator. Would love to see you explore the changes in functionality for assistant and Pokémon, like Meowth’s Payday change, scizors functionality, mew dropping items, and even things like how it is now possible to spawn multiple assists in ultimate:

Amazing concept and video ❤

ho-oh is in smash ultimate, it can appear on the kalos pokemon league stage when it turns into the flame chamber

Assist Trophies that should be characters: Shadow the Hedgehog, Zero(Z-Buster), Knuckles the Echidna, and Waluigi

If I had to include 5 Pokemon in a future game- - Magikarp (uses Flail. Flops around and hits fighters with strong knockback like a cross between goldeen and bonsly) - Mr Mime (builds invisible barrier that last a while) - Crobat (uses Cross Poison. Fires an X shape shot that will do constant damage. Also, my Gen 2 bias) - Toxtricity (imagine the Barbara AT but ends with a scream that has pushback) - Spidops (leaps at fighters to stuns them in place) For assist trophies- - Fuzzy (Yoshi series. Touch it, screen gets dizzy) - Raven Beak/EMMI (can't decide which. Raven Beak behaves similar to how Dark Samus) - Bandana Dee (jabs and downstabs opponents. Sort of like a more stabby Shovel Knight) - BotW Zelda/Purah (uses various runes on the Sheikah Slate. Cryo brings up an ice block, magnesis let's her drop an item from on high, Timestop will stop a random fighter in place for a brief moment) - Something Pokemon related (Like the Yoshi series, it hasn't had any representation in the AT. I'm undecided between Ball Guy, an Ultra Beast, A Space-Time distortion or Lusamine-Nihilego Mother Beast)

Love waking up on Saturday just to wait for the new odyssey central video to watch

I think it would be interesting if instead of leaving out most of the Pokemon with similar designs, there is a randomness to which one pops out. But on the first random pull, when the Poke Ball is thrown, similar Pokemon are still in the same slot, just if multiple Pokemon occupy that slot it will choose randomly from that pool. Staryu/Starmie, Marill/Piplup/Oshawot, Koffing/Weezing and Chikorita/Snivy could all be in the game this way while not muddying up the pool of Pokemon.

To be fair on Venusaur in Smash 64, it _was_ in Saffron City as one of the Silph Co Pokémon. Same with Electrode, Porygon, Charmander, and Chansey… again. Makes sense that Melee used Venusaur, Electrode, and Gen 2 reps that could mimic Porygon and Charmander with Porygon2 and Cyndaquil respectively. Heck, Chikorita functions like Saffron Venusaur _used_ to function.

As soon as you mentioned that Unown performed Take Down, I verbally said “Erm actually-“ so I’m glad to hear your brother had the same response also I’ve been having the same Majora’s Mask vs. TotK crisis lol

We think the reason why Starmie was changed to Staryu was because of the anime. In the anime, Misty had both a Staryu and a Starmie, but she rarely used Starmie and instead used Staryu more throughout her appearances in the anime. This possibly made Staryu more popular than its evolution, similar to how people remember Psyduck but never really remember Golduck, and they changed it in Smash Melee to be more recognizable, and it just stuck ever since.

9:51 I remember one time playing Brawl with a bunch of friends and Torchick got spawned, to which one friend said "That is one hot chick!" We... didn't know how to respond to that. But it's a recurring joke to this day.

Just a theory, but Starmie might have gotten dropped for Staryu due to a certain redheaded gym leader dropping Starmie from her team just before Gen 2 came around while still using Staryu as her main battler well into Gen 2, so may have become more recognizable.

I will forever mourn the loss of Magnus representation 😔 Hopefully if we get another smash game, he'll show up as an assist trophy again (or maybe even playable fighter! He'd be perfect for the role, he'd offer some variety among the kid Icarus reps)

10:47 “He’s just standing there…..MENACINGLY!”

17:32 You love to see a Don't Hug Me I'm Scared reference.

I hope that they add ceruledge and armarouge to the next smash game, they would be a perfect fit

Little correction for the Brawl section of this video: Brawl actually gave all 3 Legendaries who did nothing before an effect. Upon being spawned, Jirachi would drop a lot of Stickers to collect, Celeby would drop 3 Trophies to collect, and Mew would drop a Music Disc for a new stage song. Nothing much, but neat little fitting gimmicks for Brawl

I feel like a Cut video that would be really cool is "Cut characters", while yes all of the characters made it to Smash Ultimate, there have been several characters that were: a) cut from pervious games before being brought back to Ultimate and b) Originally intended to be in a different game before being cut from that one

Charizard, DeDeDe, and Ridley are the only characters in smash that were not Playable originally in the series, but still appeared in every single game in the franchise. Correct me if I'm wrong if there are more!

I miss Weavile as it’s one of my favorites I remember summoning Mr. Resetti and it felt like hours. I hated that assist trophy.

The Clefairy jumpscare was perfection

This is one of the funniest videos yet

Mr. Resetti not only get laid off when the reset center shut down, but now he's also cut from smash. Life's been rough for the poor overworked guy.

WEVE DONE IT. MAJORA’S MASK IS NOW #2. TEARS OF THE KINGDOM W.

7 mins! Also I have been hoping for this video for a while, thanks!

You want to know what Assist Trophy I’d like to see? Rambi the Rhino. I know we had Klaptrap in Ultimate, but why not have another?

15:20 What's even weirder is that in Smash Run, Lakitu and the Spinies are actually 3D models for some reason. The Cuccos do a similar thing too where in Normal battles, they are 3D, but in Smash Run they are sprites. There are probably more cases of this, but these are the only ones I know.

We think the reason why Clefairy was cut was because of Togepi. Both use Metronome, but Togepi was more well known and popular and was kinda more well known with Metronome (because of anime). So they probably realized having two Pokemon with the same move was redundant, so they cut Clefairy after Melee for Togepi.

Thank you

I actually really am legitimately surprised that every pokémon that was added in Smash 4 made it back into Ultimate.

Hey Odyssey, can you do a ranking of all 249 bonuses (you know, the things you earn after battles) in Super Smash Bros. Melee? Melee has the most unique set of bonuses from what i know and i would watch that video immediately. Also, great video man keep it up.

Koffing is in Smash Run and it does its old pokeball effect as an attack! Tingle appears in the Majora's Mask stage and Ho-Oh is also in the Kalos league.

The funny thing about Dark Samus as an assist had two OBVIOUS moves that could've been translated into a fighter moveset: The homing plasma for a neutral special and the spikes for a down smash.

The reason why Weavile was cut was probably because of Zoroark. Zoroark was originally gonna be in Smash 4 but then Greninja got Omega popular so plans changed. Zoroark does the exact same thing as Weavile as a Pokeball

The fact that Elec Man is not only a cut assist trophy but the only Mega Man 1 robot master to not have a remix in Ultimate will always make me scratch my head. I still perfer Guts Man

Some of these cut Pokémon were among my favorites to summon in past Smash games; Hitmonlee, Zapdos, and Weavile were great in 64, Melee, and Brawl. I also enjoyed Clefairy and her wild Metronome move, although I think that Togepi is more popular. Just a theory... As for Assist Trophies, the Excitebikers are cute. They can do a ton of damage. I don't understand why Lakitu or Kat and Ana gor cut though; Mario does have plenty of representation, but Lakitu in particular is a fun teammate with his Spinies. Oh well. Good stuff, Odyssey Central.

I'd argue that Maril's functionality was more so given to Piplup and Oshawot. They both involve the Pokemon running straight in one direction, pushing anyone that gets in their way. Also of note, a few Poke Ball and Assist Trophies that were cut from the game they were planned for. * Melee - Ditto, who we all know was cut from Melee, but finally was implemented in Ultimate. * Melee - Ducks, yes, Assist Trophies were planned for Melee. The only one we know are the duck hunt ducks, which would have flown around in their classic pattern, hurting fighters. * Brawl - Ridley, files in Brawl show that Ridley was planned to be an Assist Trophy.

Jirachi doesn't do anything in Brawl, they drop stickers! Mew drops CDs and I think Celebi drops Trophies? Not sure on that last one

Some of the Assisst Trophies could be upgraded to bosses/enemies like how some where in Adventure Mode and Smash Run or Rathalos situation surprised they didn't do the same with Rayquaza

I think even more than Elec Man's attack being basic, I think he was cut because he didn't have the same iconicness the other guest Assist Trophies had: * Grayfox: A recurring boss throughout the Solid game who grew to be popular with his unique design * Shadow and Knuckles: Rivals of Sonic who even got their own games * Ghosts: Literally the only other characters in the first PAC-MAN game, and one of the most famous examples of bedsheet ghosts * Guile: One of the playable characters who even got to star in the live-action movie. Extremely popular, his music is a meme. * Rodin: The shopkeeper you'll be visiting all the time. The most recurring ally throughout the entire franchise (since Jeanne and Luka start off on non-friendly terms and Enzo does very little) and the difficult bonus boss. * Alucard: The most recurring hero in the series and star of one of, if not the, most beloved game in the franchise. * Bomberman, Akira, Rathalos, and Shovel Knight: The main characters (or main mascot in Rathalos' case) of their series. Compare that to Elec Man, who is of no higher rank than the other robot masters, and he kind of just doesn't impact you as much. On the other hand, Dr. Wily is the main villain of the series and Zero is an extremely popular character who even got his own series. (also fun fact: Zero is the only Mega Man character to have voice acting in Smash)

In smash 6, I want an assist trophy from Xenoblade 3. I think summoning a hero could be cool. Fiona could buff stats every few seconds. Ashera could just attack the opponent like scizor. What other ones should I add?

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure some Poke Ball mons were meant to replace others but not exactly. Specifically Latios/Latias replacing Beedrill/Unown but changing the attack style. Scizor replacing Hitmonlee but adding a dash. Oshawott/Piplup replacing Marill but adding water effect. Metagross replacing Venusaur but adding a bury.

3:09 I get why Clefairy was cut since Togepi already uses metronome. I think it is the Melee metronome.

The Mid Life Zelda crisis caught me off guard so much

Nice even though i just came here

I really hope most of these cuts come back

I'd love beedrill to come back, yes it's gen 1 but they could have him rush and constsntky jab the oppenent representing fury attack or twinneedle or whatever. He's also just a cool pkmn

5:50 I mean I wouldn't consider earthquake a move that makes me think of Venusaur considering it's a grass type pokémon actually I grass and poison type pokémon but yeah I guess it works. Venusaur was in the first Super Smash Bros game on the N64 and I feel like you should have mentioned this. At saffron City there are pokémon that come out from that little doorway at the top of the Silph Co tower. Venusaur comes out from there and so does Charmander and Porygon and Clefairy and actually I think that was all of them

odyssey :)

17:48 This would have made for a sick Down-B for Dark Samus. Even just the one move difference like Roy/Chrom would have been nice.

8:24 Freddy Fazbear is a Pokémon confirmed?!??!

Koffing was also an enemy in smash run in smash 4 in which he uses the same move

You should make a video on all the cut fighters such as Crash Bandicoot and Waluigi.

Hey odyssey central can you do spirits of every cuphead boss

Me and my sister always joke around that metagross in smash4 sounds like they're saying "Mitchell".

11:00 It leaves a sticker!

Your videos always makes me so happy!! Keep up the good work:) also dont mind my profile pic it my mom hehe

Me and the other two kid Icarus fans despairing over Magnus being cut

Brent: 11:08-oh my god,guys look it's TCNICK3!

My biggest gripe is that they use Goldeen instead of Magikarp for the Splash joke. Like that’s Magikarp’s 1 thing, it’s his whole identity

Fun fact: Venusaur doesn't learn earthquake in gen 2 but it does in gen 3 onwards. Maybe the pokemon devs took the idea from smash after they made it use it for some reason

Clefairy is probably (part of) the reason that all of the Pokémon in 64 are sprites

Maybe do all the cut music tracks? Idk if any have been cut

The reason Little Mac was cut was because he was a playable character in Smash 4.

8:24 freddy is just behind a bush

The finale

Perhaps Magnus was cut to be put into smash ultimate, and they decided against having a 4th kid icarus character (he couldve been so cool though, his final smash couldve been him and Gaol tag teaming to kill the opponent)

also plz try cut taunts had one more a while back but forgot which was it in my idea thoughts.

7:10 the other bit of trivia that makes Cyndaquil unique… you can hit him?? For some reason??

one thing I would love to see is Eevee upgrading from a PokeBall Pokemon to a playable fighter in the next Smash game similar to how Charizard did! it is practically Pokemon's second mascot by now so it'd make sense for it to be upgraded, possibly having a gimmick involving its Eeveelutions as well

7:53 after all this time, an "erm acktually" actually happened! LESSGO

Meowth was the only Pokémon to get cut as a Poké Ball character in Melee, then come back in another game as a Poké Ball character again.

This video appeared in my “continue watching” section even though I never watched it before. Good job youtube.

Maybe we should move Waluigi from an assist trophy to a playable character and replace Corina as a assist trophy

16:26 Perfect.

Giving every franchise another assist trophy for no reason other than that I am bored: Mario: King Boo- Shoots a dizzying beam at the opponents in front of him, it racks up damage with the highest possible amount being 35%. Kinda like the move Mother Brain uses, but rather than stunning, its the shield break Donkey Kong: Lord Fredrik- Shoots massive blocks of ice in different directions around him. Zelda: Yiga Clan Member- does the same attacks as the Travelling Yiga that attack Link in BOTW, has a rare chance of being Master Khoga who does the same moves, just being Clumsier and a lot stronger. Metroid: E.M.M.I.- Will lunge at opponent in front of them, then grabs them and stabs them through the chest, like whem you get Captured by them in Dread. Does massive damage, but no knockback. Yoshi: Kamek- Powers up the user of the assist trophy. Either being Super Mushroom, Boosted Attack, Boosted Speed, Healing, or the rarest, Final Smash. Kirby: Adeline- she does her moves from Boss Fight from Kirby 64. Spawning in the attacks she uses from that game. Star Fox: James McCloud- Summons the Landmaster and basically has all the attacks of the old Final Smash Pokémon: Annihilape (Pokeball obviously)- Rage Fist. It does slow strikes in random side directions [Think Kazuya Side B], starting out weak but gets more powerful each time it does it. Lasts for 5 hits, first being weakest, being similar to a Captain Falcon forward tilt at low percents, and final hit being as strong as a Falcon Punch. Its easily telivised tho, so you are unlikely to be hit by this move easily. Earthbound/Mother: Hinawa- Spawns in Hinawa. After a random amount of time between 15 seconds, Mecha-Drago appears. Bites on the spot where Hinawa was. Deals Massive damage. After Mecha-Drago appears it leaves a throwable Drago tooth that does incredible knockback. Hi Mother 3 fans :))))) F-Zero: Black Knight- Black Knight summons the Black Bull that speeds across the screen multiple times, similar to Pac-Man's and Sonic's final smashes, but every time he appears on one of the sides of the screen, he does a deep laugh before suddenly charges at high speeds towards the opponent. I am not doing all of them this too so long istg.

At this point, we need Odyssey Central's brother to cameo in a video

You totally forgot that the reason why Venusaur wasn't a Pokéball Pokémon in Smash 64 was because he was a stage hazard in Saffron City.

Fun Fact: The Way Meowth attacked in Smash 64 still exists in Smash Ultimate with Dedenne

Tears of the kingdom beat Majora's Mask. It's the end of a war.

you should do the cut spirits of smash ultimate

5:50 “As Ivysaur became playable in brawl” (Shows Ivysaur in Ultimate footage as proof)

Can you do cut Mario kart tracks/ Mario kart tracks that never came back

I think the reason venusaur wasnt there in 64 is because they were in the saffron city stage.
