Which Smash Bros. Assist Trophy Would be the Best Newcomer? 

Bro put a Thwomp, a Bird's Head, Two Giant Space Heads, the literal Moon and TWO PING PONG BARS over Spring Man.

Starfy is an absolute UNIT. he literally stops the moon from crashing into the earth, has an already versatile moveset to pick from in his game, and all round is just an insane pick for a fighter. I think he also had a mount/transformation system where he can turn into various animals iirc. can't believe you did my star boy dirty like that, smh

Hear me out The Moon gets in as Skull Kid's Final Smash

This truly feels like the average Nintendo youtuber video. - "Every iconic videogame character and Corrin" jokes - Puts Spring Man in bottom tier - Laughs about Bandana Dee, not knowing it's literally the Luigi of the Kirby series - Thinks Starfy is a Kirby ripoff - Has played a grand total of 6 videogame series - Unrelated Fire Emblem joke to finish off the video

Bro really put Pong over Spring Man 💀

Punching a dog around is a turn off Duck hunt dog who was stomped on by banjo in a trailer:

ROB has no feet

Deepthroat was the name Mark Felt went by as an undercover informant during the watergate scandal. Grey Fox gives snake info about traps around shadow moses throughout the game and snake even acknowledges the reference being made in the first codec with him

Crazy to me how the squid sisters both have a ton of character development, dialogue, time to shine, etc throughout all 3 splatoon games, yet people will say they like shiver and Frye more somehow. Like I can understand off the hook, they’re actual characters with personalities, but shiver and Frye are literally just dollar store off the hook. The only thing making them stand out is big man, and even then he has the personality of a wet towel. Squid sisters hate only exists because 90% of splatoon fans didn’t play the first game and don’t read the dialogue during the story modes

The longer the list goes by the more violations spring man takes, like bro ong said that a real life dog and fucking pong are more likley to get in smash than him💀

Okay, i feel like you got too personally biased with spring man. The no tier should only include the characters that flat out can't make for good playable characters, like nintendogs and rathalos, not characters that technically could in the same way dr mario has, ei clone fighters. Spring man could 100% become an echo fighter or clone of min min, so him being in f is beyond unreasonable.

R.O.B. doesn't have feet, and while the Koopalings DO, they don't use them!

A Corryn joke and Spingman at the bottom list are a good combination of a true smash fan.

What did Springman do to you dude 😭🙏

Nintendogs: would feel bad to punch Isabella: free real estate Duck hunt dog: *holds sign with "crap" on it* lol

Spring Man is worthy of at least a C+ or C- tier. Even if he would most likely be a carbon copy of Min Min, that’s still more potential than freaking pong.

I'm all for Knuckles being playable, I imagine he could inherit some of the skeleton from Sonic to make things easier, but in order to be true to the character he really needs his own stuff, and I like what he can do. Also, one of his costumes needs to have a hat.

I'm still coping at the fact Knuckles is an assist trophy in Ultimate. Same with Zero, both DESERVE to be on the roster as selectable characters.

There is a rather easy way to fix the issue of Sukapon potentially angering Rayman fans... just put them both in, we gotta have the limbless fight of the century. Throw in Plok for good measure too.

At least put Spring Man in the bottom of D tier. Because unlike the rest of the characters above F tier. He could actually be playable and could have possible move sets. Maybe it won’t be good move sets but at least it would be better than any move of the sets Pong could possibly have.

Alucard will always be my number 1. There are about a billion attacking capabilities and movement options in SotN that would translate perfectly to Smash.

Really agree with the last 3 picks. Bomberman could be really cool as a character with his bomb kicks and a potentially amazing final smash (hopefully with characters before Super R), knuckles is Sonic's first rival, plus his digging could provide more movement options than shadow's chaos control since it's probably just gonna be that one mewtwo move, and waluigi is just way past overdue.

8:23 Hammer Bro has potential imo. His neutral special could throw random projectiles that are based off the "Bro" enemies (fire ball, ice ball, hammer, boomerang, pan). His dash attack could be unique in that you can charge it like Charging Chucks (as seen in Super Mario Odyssey). His up special could just be King Dedede's (referencing Sledge Bro's). He could have the same gimmick as Peach where holding the jump button puts him in a Lakitu's cloud (the difference being that you can still throw projectiles). His forward smash could be him smacking you with the red button (seen in Mario & Luigi Paper Jam). His down smash could a elektric stomp (referencing Sumo Bro's). In his side special he could use a magic wand that shoot a slow homing projectile that gives a random effect (referrencing Kamek/magikoopa's). In his down special he could go in his shell and essentially acting as Wario's Bike. His final smash could be an Airship where you use Bowser's Claw (seen in New Super Mario Bros U) to squish opponents and as a final blow you shoot a King Bill (seen in New Super Mario Bros Wii). He could have a single jump that can go very far and high (maximum length can reach the other side of Final destination in Ultimate). His taunts could be; the "Bah Dance" (seen in the New series), angry stomping (as seen in Mario & Luigi Paper Jam). Feel free to add to this

I will say about Mother Brain, even though I haven't played Metroid at all I do know that she has some sort of dinosaur-like form that she takes in the end of Super Metroid, which can, in fact, move. Still probably doesn't move her all that far up the list though, but at least a little bit.

Just got out of daycare, Starfy is based asf and actually has a lot of moveset potential. Also really fun games

You may not understand the appeal of Starfy, but your understanding of the appeal of Bomberman is amazing.

I want Waluigi, Knuckles The Echidna, Shadow The Hedgehog, Krystal, Spring Man, Isaac, Bomberman, and Akira in the game. My reasons are on a Google Doc.

Gray fox contacts Snake via his codec in MG1 one and goes by an alias to hide his identity because the two of them used to be part of the same unit. The reason he goes by Deepthroat is apparently a reference to the Water Gate scandal. The whistle-blower on that scandal (who was apparently an FBI agent) used that same alias.

17:24 as someone who loves Dillon Dead-Heat Breakers I can confirm that there's more than enough for a really fun moveset focused on combos and speed

Dillons rolling western had a lot of fun tower defense and resource collection in its gameplay so having those elements included in his kit would be very interesting 17:29

I'd love to see Knuckless, Tails and Shadow as a fighters. They would be awesome

W for having first place being knuckles he's my most wanted character for the game also points for putting him above shadow

How DARE you disrespect my gal Callie?!

6:55 The first person in history to call mispronounce "Marie" as "mari"

Oh hell nah, no way is bro saying Callie and Marie are the worst idols instead of Shiver and Frye (Big Man is fine)

Bomberman is just THE party character that should be in Smash And on another thought, if Zero were to be in Smash, i'd love to see him have his MegaMan Zero design

Fighter name: "TrashBoat" Man of culture I see

Since sonic has the highest base speed in the game, and knuckles contrasts sonic, Knuckles would have the most powerful base strength.

The Assist Trophies I want to see become fighters in future games are Krystal, Shovel Knight, Knuckles, Ashley, Shadow, Spring Man, Alucard, Tiki, and of course Waluigi! Guile and Starfy are at least possibilities. And I would want Kat & Ana (my favorite assist trophy of all time and was upset when they were removed in Ultimate) to either become fighters or come back assist trophies again!

Chef Kawasaki absolutey could be a fighter. He already has plenty of moves thanks to his playable appearance in Kirby Star Allies, and all the moves that he still needs could implement other Mini Bosses from the Kirby series. Like he could summon Bugzy for his Throws or Vividria for those little drawings of Kirby Characters that act as wandering hazards. Not only would it be a good representation of the Kirby Mini Bosses which are a staple for the series but it could also work nicely to represent the Partner Mechanic seen in many Kirby Games.

If there's another Wario Land game, it should have a 2 Players Co-op mode where Waluigi is the 2nd Player

Easily Knuckles. Sonic was honestly done dirty in terms of representation.

"Galaxian originating from the 1970's." Then proceeds to use the PAC-MANs taunt to show the fighter ship from Galaga (1981) and not the Galaxip sprite or use PAC-MAN's bonus fruit Galaxian

If they added Zero as a fighter he would instantly become an S teir, if you know you know Alucard would also be dope as hell

Man would put Mavis Beacon and the Burger King mascot in Smash before Spring Man

I'm honestly shocked spring man was at the bottom of all options (other than little Mac, isabelle and dark samus)

Great video! I really enjoyed it!!

18:50 Spoilers if any one cares Deepthroat is a codename grex fox uses to communicate with solid snake in secretly in metal gear solid for ps1.

They made half a moveset for Krystal, Zero, Alucard and Knuckles. I feel like if the devs really wanted to they could’ve made them playable. Imagine their Amiibo too. I really wish Assist Trophies got Amiibo.

Bandanna Waddle Dee. Who’s with me?

So about the character going by "deepthroat" it was a codename he gave himself as a reference to the real life Watergate scandal, as their was a real life secret informat who's codename was Deep Throat.

I love the way you edit, that Ganondorf part at 8:12 was hilarious

You know which assist trophie baffled me the most not being a actual fighter. It is Knuckles! He moves and handles like Sonic and only differs in his unique moves which are already fully programed and implemented. He can glyde ,he can dig and he can punch. He seems so easy to just make him in to a fully playable fighter. It would be the exact same scenario as is with villager and Isabelle. They both play and handle very similar to one another but differ in thiere special moves and some attacks so they can't count as eccofighters. Knuckles and sonic could have done the exact same thing and it would be game accurate because they also handle similarly in many of their games like for example sonic Mania.

here's my idea for Waluigi's moveset (mainly the specials) neutral - Item Box (throws a Mario Kart item box on the ground, and gets a random item (he's a cheater, he brings items to a no-item match)) side - dice block (like Game & Watch's number, but with range) up - air swimming down - stomp (from his Assist Trophy days) smash attacks - golf (down), baseball (side), tennis (up), with an added small projectile final smash - Destruction Dance

Mother Brain had a body in Super Metroid. She was also an android in Other M, but we don’t talk about Other M

Riki is not D tier. How is putting foes to sleep too much for a fighter ? How is healing too much ? How is buffing a stat too much ? Hero does all of this, wii-fit trainer can heal or buff themselves, jigs can put you to sleep... Riki can also breathe fire, poison cloud, ice magic, make a silly dance, use stances, trip opponents, use backslash, inflict several debuffs, use an attack that get stronger for each debuff but removes them, steal items, play dead (ok maybe don't use that) or just beat you up with his stick. He also talks funny and is cool. Don't put him on the same tier as Blinky. How is he lower than excite bike ? Also idk I feel like if Daisy were an actual fighter she could just take waluigi's moveset idea. I only expressed disagreement in this comment so I just want to say that I enjoyed the video.

KNUCKLES FANS, RISE UP.

I am flabbergasted by the amout of L's this video has 😂

Saying the squid sisters are the worst idol group is the worst take i've ever heard from a splatoon player

I was so upset when I saw, Knuckles as an assist trophy.

nah starfy has some cool ass games and def would have enough material to make a cool move set, maybe even one with different form changes

The transition part keeps making me laugh every time it happens I wonder where that sound is from

I used to think Starfy was Kirby ripoff too, them i played one of his games and they play nothing alike

I'd definitely want to play as Zero(MMX).

26:46 Ok so Corrin but the Dragon Form is apart of their move set and not Final Smash Exclusive. I see

I feel like, if you want to make the idea of Dr. Wily summoning Robot Masters work...I feel it would be best to utilize a boss from Mega Man 10: The Weapons Archive. It's a machine that can utilize the data of Robot Masters throughout the series. I imagine you could make it similar in execution to Hero's Command Selection (but not NEARLY to the same excessive lengths), where you pick from one of 3 or 4 Robot Masters and summon the Weapons Archive to use one of said Robot Master's attacks. It'd be relegated to a Special Attack, though, and not the full moveset. Maybe it'd have its own gauge, like using Special Weapons in the Mega Man series proper...28 units, though.

Does Kamek count? Cuz I'd really like Kamek. Kamek is like the one character that could be added to the game that would restore the magic of Smash Bros for me. Him or Poochy, who I'm surprised isn't already an assist trophy.

Hey I think I've played with you before 😻 you are an Ike main yes? Also I subscribed 🖤

Seeing my #1 (Krystal) and #3 (Knuckles) up so high makes me happy Both would be great additions to the cast and would fun to fight with

like 5 of these of the characters here have movesets in super smash flash two and I'm sad he didn't mention it (I love the Rivals of Aether mention though with shovel knight)

talking about dr kawashima, theres a person on twitter making a playable character as mod of him and it looks so fun!

What's actually really odd about Ike in Smash Bros is he's a slow power fighter but in the actual fire emblem games he's from or at least in path of radiance the game he originally came from, Ike actually can be really fast in that game. So in theory the Black Knight whose big slow and powerful should be a very different fighter but since Ike was turned into a slow power fighter yeah I could see why somebody would say the Black Knight would end up being some kind of variation of him

There’s pieces of mii swordfighter’s moveset I could see working had Samurai Goroh actually been a fighter since they gave him moves similar to falcon’s in power thrust mainly but blurring blade could also be smthn goroh could work with to an extrnt

I love this video!

21:56 in defense to Dr.Wily in Megaman Football (or Megaman Soccer) Wily do have some sort of battle armor for him to be able to play Football so if Dr.Wily would be in they must use his machine from that Football game just like the fan-game Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch did for his Playable appearance

Y'know, I'm sure the mad scientists over at the rivals of aether modding community will find a way to make the ones at the bottom into fighters, they're just built like that

We even got the community events like the battle for Waluigi and defending Waluigi so off course all of his fan basse have had enough of the minor roles with in the series like assist trophy spirit regular trophy and sticker

Personally, Knuckles instead of Tails would make no sense to me. It would be like having Gray Fox instead of Raiden

16:24 about that… Sukapon was supposed to be a item in melee, meaning he probably could’ve been a fighter in smash 4.

Glad someone else sees the insane potential of Jeff

fun fact: waluigi is in a super smash bros fan game called super smash bros flash 2 and uhhh... yeah... just that i got nothing to say about it just that it can throw an dice and depending on the number it has diffrent effect to it similar to mr. game and watch'es forward special

In my opinion I think bomberman could focus less on having various moves as different bombs and more as move sets designed for setting up a combat system that feel like you are playing the first game. Example is a mechanic like Steve’s blocks that can be set on the ground and exploded with your bombs.

Isaac by far, the moveset potential for him is off the charts and he’ll bring in a new element that hasn’t been seen in smash before

I really want Zero from Megaman in the next game even though I’m not super upset about him being an assist trophy here, that’s still better than nothing He would be so broken just like he is in the Capcom Vs. Series and I’m a huge fanboy for him. As much as I really want some of the assist trophies as playable characters instead, I’m not pissed off or going to lose sleep over it. Even though I want another Zelda fighter, it doesn’t anger me that I didn’t get one.

38:42 How this works is the fact that Samus actually has a lot of punches and kicks ever since her inclusion in the original Smash Bros but she was never known for punches and kicks so you could still choose to add punches and kicks for Bomberman anyway. Plus like you said about the various moves he has in farm and hero and the various different styles of bombs you can throw, in Bomberman pockets on the Game Boy color he has a sword. Okay he never uses it You never attack with it, but when the tile screen shows up he pulls out a sword. It's weird that he does that only at that point in the game and you don't ever get to use it in the game but I mean technically there it is There's a sword.😂

Dark Samus once was an assist trophy but got the upgrade into a full fighter in smash ultimate Little Mac is another example for this except the upgrade happened in smash 4

Riki could ABSOLUTELY make it in with a moveset, with tons of different magic attacks, melee attacks, he could be a floaty heavy thanks to his suprising bulk in Xenoblade and they could totally include nopon technology such as pollen orbs, tamed beasts, or if we want to include nopon technology from the later xenoblade games, sky is the limit. Heck the biter itself could make for a funny command grab where it swallows you whole like yoshi does A different story is the likelyhood people want him in and if he is a good reprisentative from xenoblade compared to Noah/Mio/Dunban/Seven etc etc. But he has tons of potential for a moveset

Nah I’ve been thinking for a while, and nintendog has the legitimately coolest moveset potential. I like to think it would be a fast, agile character with good combos and tons of movement mixups using the agility training obstacles. Also the puppy kicking point is kinda undermined by the existence of duck hunt.

"I really should look into other games instead of replaying Donkey Kong Country over and over" Same...

People forget that little mac was already an assist trophy in brawl and is now a fighter

I think if black knight were to be added to smash he would be a swordy version of little mac that’s meant to feel like a boss character or as if your playing as his assist trophy version.

Waluigi is so much of a wanted character, he breaks the typical ranking system, not surprised in the slightest.

Jill from Drilldozer would be PEAK. Don't know why they removed her as an assist, though.

Final Fantasy is the only guest franchise on the base roster without an assist trophy Most of its representation came from DLC

You have a point on Nintendog. I would honestly feel bad if they would throw the dog, or cat, in as a fighter. But then we have Duck Hunt, and let me be honest on that one, he deserved it years later.

Hammer bros would be a great echo fighter for Ice Climbers if they ever did another subspace type game.

This is a fine list, but I will not stand for starfy slander, he can reflect meteors just by spinning. Also I do want a heavy armored unit in Smash, so Black Knight would be a good choice. If not a character, he would make for a sick boss fight.

Waluigi over shadow bruh

I love how Midna's name is misspelled in the thumbnail as "Minda"

Razewing ratha and rider would be nice, aka rathalos, would work really well, small, probably mid or light weight since razewing is a baby, switching forms the base having powerful ground attacks and very weak aerials, and the powered up form losing out on the strong ground attacks and gaining goated aerials
