Holy shit HE IS NOT LYING.

I never lie, I am just ahead of the curve.
 
UK/Ireland updated before US:

Assist Trophies are trophies that come to the aid of the player that called them out.

But these may not always be solid objects...

Th-they’re pixel art!

And there are tons of pixels racing around!

I think that in Smash though, appearances are rarely what they seem.

Just because they’re flat doesn’t mean you can
take them lightly.

By the way, there’s also an Assist Trophy for this guy...

Lakitu and Spinies! He just tosses ‘em down,
one after the other.

I'm so feeling the 2D love. 2D gameplay is grand too of course, which is a large part of why I like SSBB so much, but sprites just make my day. <3

They probably do. Assist trophies can be friend and foe

But there seems to be too many like this! When you geta Assist trophy shouldn't it be rare that they damage you as well... a bit like Pokeballs.

Oh well...awesome update!

- Samurai Goroh
- Dr. Wright

I have an idea.


Assist Trophy - Bald Bull (bull charge)

That would be awesome.

And I might be the only one I guess, but I'm just not feeling these pixel characters.

Excitebikers aren't too bad, but why not model Lakitu and the Spinys? There is a pretty decent Lakitu trophy in Melee, why not use that?

I don't get how they are determining which assist characters to fully model, and which ones to just use a sprite texture for.

I wonder why they just sorta tacked on the lakitu assist.... why not make another update section? 2D is still cool!

Because people complain too much. I think maybe from now on if we get small updates like Items, more than one thing will be revealed.
 
Okay, statistical trivia.


-This is the 9th assist trophy update. (8th if you don't count Lakitu, but I do.) This means that it ties with character moves for number of updates, but is still behind regular items, final smashes, Smash 101/techniques, music, stages, and character profiles.


-Lakitu is the 10th Mario update if you count it as an update. And if you count Petey Piranha as well. Mario's place in the hierarchy of number of updates per series wouldn't change even if you disregarded both, though--it would still be ahead of everything except Pokemon.


-Assuming you count this as a double update, it's the 14th day where two or more updates came at once. It's the 2nd occurrence of two double updates on consecutive update days. (The first occurrence was Pokemon Stadium 2 + Mario's FLUDD being followed up by My Music + Pokemon Stadium music + SSBB main theme.)


-Of the 9 known assist trophies, Excitebike is one of 3 that comes from a series with no playable character in Smash Bros.

Haha, well, I didn't mean for two different days. I meant just put both on the RSS with their own section of the site.

I guess it makes for a nice surprise though!

I think it is because it is pixel art assists.

while they are still cool, giving Lakitu his own update would be like giving an untouched midi from an older nintendo game its own update, they save them for the big things.

I'm guessing these two are better left as sprites because they'll spawn so many things on screen at once...

Of course, they did model the centurions for Pit's final smash, but I'm not sure they'll let multiple final smashes from the same character run simultaneously, whereas someone could theoretically do a game of all assist trophies and get three Excitebikes and five Lakitus going on.

Or maybe it's possible to set the percentage per assist trophy... That'd be crazy too. :o All-Lakitu game, fill the screen with Spinies. Something like that.

Yeah, that sounds pretty accurate. At least it's better than what I assumed the real reason to be (saving time by using simple textured planes)
