Assist Trophy: Difference between revisions
Better fit as apart of the overview part instead of trivia. Also removed ones that are likely listed on the character pages.

The majority of Assist Trophies in ''Brawl'' are undamageable, with only [[Starfy]] and [[Lakitu]] being able to be interrupted or otherwise hit or even [[KO'd]]. In ''Smash 4'', however, some Assist Trophies can be attacked, potentially interrupting their attacks or otherwise manipulating how they perform and even being able to KO them (this can be seen by their ending animations coming earlier than normal, them having their own death animation, or simply teleporting away). However, there is no reward for KOing an Assist Trophy. In ''Ultimate'', more than one Assist Trophy can be on the stage at once. This by extension introduced the concept of Assist Trophies fighting each other, as they are programmed as CPU characters and go after CPU characters as well. A larger number of Assist Trophies were also made able to be KO'd, and they emit a yellowish aura the more damage they take, and grants the player who KO'd them one point. When the Assist Trophy is close to becoming KO'd, the player who summoned it can KO it to prevent other players from gaining a point. In addition, certain Assist Trophies now have the ability to teleport on command, such as teleporting closer to an opponent when too far away or when crossing a [[blast line]]. | The majority of Assist Trophies in ''Brawl'' are undamageable, with only [[Starfy]] and [[Lakitu]] being able to be interrupted or otherwise hit or even [[KO'd]].

Either due to complications with the stage or the character's appearance in the background (e.g. because he's a vampire, which does not have a reflection, Alucard cannot appear in Wii Fit Studio, which features a giant mirror in the background, and because darkness would completely block out the drawings, Nikki cannot be summoned on stages that have a dark scenery (e.g. [[Gamer]])), many Assist Trophies cannot appear on certain stages In ''Ultimate''. | |||
There exceptions however due to their lack of stage hazards, obstacles, or features that would hinder the Assist Trophies such as {{b|Training|stage}}, {{SSBU|Battlefield}}, [[Small Battlefield]], {{SSBU|Big Battlefield}}, {{SSB|Mushroom Kingdom}}, {{SSBB|Yoshi's Island}}, [[Skyworld]], [[Smashville]], [[Windy Hill Zone]], [[Yggdrasil's Altar]] and [[Northern Cave]] which are the only stages where every Assist Trophy can appear. | |||

*In the English version of the [[Super Smash Bros. Direct]], [[Masahiro Sakurai]] was mistranslated as saying that Assist Trophies would "figure into [[All-Star Mode]]" in some fashion in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. However, Assist Trophies ended up playing no role in the mode, and they do not even spawn as regular items within battles. In Japanese, Sakurai was instead referring to the "all-star" cast as opposed to the mode itself. | |||

*In ''Ultimate'', the silhouette figure will slowly rise if it is prevented from despawning or being used, such as using Item Gravitation spirits or being held by a fighter that is suspended in the air. The figure will rise at about 0.00005 units per frame (or about 1 unit in 5.55 minutes).<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIrNk945X3k Rising Assist Trophy]</ref> | *In ''Ultimate'', the silhouette figure will slowly rise if it is prevented from despawning or being used, such as using Item Gravitation spirits or being held by a fighter that is suspended in the air.
