Title: SSBB: Hammer Bro. assist trophy
Post by: Deezer on July 02, 2007, 02:44:24 AM
The hammer-tossing turtle who first appeared in Super Mario Bros. (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/smb) will once again appear in a game with Mario. This time, Hammer Bro. helps dish out pain on your opponents as one of the characters who can randomly appear from an "assist trophy."

New to the Smash Bros. series, assist trophies seem to function much like Pokéballs, except assist trophies contain other video game characters.

Awesome item idea, but it adds another thing to the list of things the CPU player will slowly cross the mile-wide stage to get... Imagine what else there'll be... Mallow or Geno? Franziska von Karma? Heavily Armed Pokey?

I can't believe nobody thought of this before. Now people's ridiculous demands for characters can be met without actually having to give them a spot amongst the playable roster.

I just hope they make all the right choices. I mean, I wanted Goro to be playable. :(

This is the perfect opportunity for Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents to show up.

^ That game was so overrated (but let's not start a debate)

Well, like pretty much everyone else said, this just seems like a rip-off of Pokeballs where they can cram all the characters they're too lazy to make into actual players (though this does increase the chances of seeing all the unlikely contenders we want). Cool? Yeah, I guess, but I hope they don't make too many of these--unless they're connected to actual trophies, and by using them, you unlock their trophy (assuming they even put trophies in the game... I think it'll be cards this time... that's the thing nowadays... but then they wouldn't be 3-D, which is cool...).

Yeah. I thought they were quite a bit like Pokéballs too. It seems cool enough I guess.

I don't care if they're the misc equivalent of Pokeballs.  That Hammer Bro is full of win!  All we need now is a swarm of Pikmin (though I'd still like to see Capt. Olimar added to the playable roster)

They may end up taking all the misc. character trophies from the previous game and make them into assistants in Brawl.

This is awesome! I just got off the official Smash Bros. site and then I came here only to see that you all had updated as well! I think that this is as splendid idea, although they're basically pokeball's with other NPC's inside of them. Most of them are invincible, too, as quoted on the official Smash Bros. site.

Oh, yeah, Pikmin! Never thought about that one... could happen, especially since It'd REALLY be a stretch to put in Olimar (since he doesn't really fight--except for that little whack and a Pikmin throw--and he's an inch tall... but if you think about it, Pikachu should be only about a foot tall, though they didn't make him that much taller).

And Kirby, his little profile in SSB said that he was only eight inches tall, so what about the others? Are they small too?
Title: Re: SSBB: Hammer Bro. assist trophy

If they were able to make Kirby bigger than he really is, I'm sure they could do the same with Olimar.

Kirby is not even a foot tall (Eight inches according to his bio from SSB).

I can see Capt Olimar/Louie coming from the assist to throw Pikmin at the other fighters. My guess would be random Pikmin would be thrown, each dealing damage based on what color they are. Purple would do the most, White would deal some damage and poison you, Blue would knock you back just a little bit, Yellow would knock you into the air, and Red would have the most knockback of them all and deal out decent damage (not as much as Purple, of course).

Kirby at 8 inches seems a little hard to believe. He's got to be taller than that.

He is eight inches high. The proportions in Super Smash Bros. are just...

Couldn't have said it better myself, BP.  Although, if Kirby gets a poison mushroom, proportions get a lot more accurate.  I have an example, but it's not on my computer right now.

Do you remember that size chart that somebody posted a while back that was from a magazine (Nintendo Power?)

I think they should whip something like that up for the entire Nintendo universe, not just the Mario series (based on Mario Party 5's sizes).

Okay, I realized the other day I forgot Kirby. So sue me (but I distinctly remember hearing he was one foot tall... the TV show, maybe?).

8 inches high, according to either SSB, SSBM, or both.
Couldn't have said it better myself, BP.  Although, if Kirby gets a poison mushroom, proportions are somewhat to a lot more accurate.  I have an example, but it's not on my computer right now.
Got it!

Another MGWV inspired SSBM photo.  No good title for it yet.  :/

What do you have to say about this, MC?

"Hammer Time!"

Splendid.

That's pretty funny, but what is MGWV and its significance?
Title: Re: SSBB: Hammer Bro. assist trophy

We were talking about the proportions in Smash Bros.  I showed an example with Kirby getting in better proportion with some other characters, except Pichu and Pikachu, when he gets a poison mushroom.  MGWV is short for 'Mario Gang's Wacky Vacation' one of N64 Chick's fanfics

Ah, now I see. Is it just me, or did it look like Luigi was climbing out of Peach/Daisy's dress?! o_O ...or....

It looks somewhat like Luigi is carrying Peach/Daisy in that.

Post by: Kojinka on July 06, 2007, 09:22:59 AM
To me it looks like Peach/Daisy is landing behind Luigi (from his pov), while holding Kirby.  Her dress just happens to be in a position that makes it look like Luigi is crawling out.

Kirby should be much more bite-sized in comparison to Bulblin. And Samus...

Well this is sort of a funny place to see MGWV mentioned. But I suppose I'll explain the deal to everyone here that hasn't read it. Kirby is very small in the story. So small, in fact, that he often hitches rides on other characters' heads. Usually Daisy's.
