Sakurai did not however state what role he has in the game, and since he wasn't given his own character reveal nor character page, it's seen that he isn't a separate playable character. It's heavily speculated though that he will be an alternate costume for the Wii Fit Trainer akin to [[Wario]]'s Biker and Classic outfits, which if true, will be unprecedented in Smash, being the first alternate costume to change a character's physical appearance instead of just their clothing.

Sakurai confirmed him to be an alternate costume for the Wii Fit Trainer during a future Nintendo Direct. This was unprecedented in Smash, being the first alternate costume that changes the character into another character instead of simply altering their clothing.

November 2013[edit]

Date Image Comment Notes Link
November 1, 2013
Pit charging Palutena's Arrow in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
 Pic of the day. Kid Icarus: Uprising is now available to download via eShop in Japan. By the way, we gave a makeover to Pit's pose when he's shooting his bow and arrow so it looks sharper. Do note that all images are still in development. This and past pics may be different from the finished product. Thanks for understanding. Sakurai confirmed Pit will have a different pose when firing Palutena's Arrow. He additionally remarked how what has been seen in the pics of the days is still in development, and could end up different in the finished product.
Miiverse Icon.png
November 4, 2013
Olimar and Sonic near the Hocotate Ship as it appears in SSB4.
 Pic of the day. Is this a spaceship from Hocotate? No-this is a bomb SHAPED like a spaceship. After liftoff, it will drop down when you least expect it. Confirmed a new item: a bomb shaped like the Hocotate Ship from the Pikmin series. Sakurai's implied that it crashes down at random after liftoff.
Miiverse Icon.png
November 5, 2013
Villager showing the steps in order of chopping down a tree as an attack in SSB4 for Wii U.
 Photo strip of the day. Plant it, water it, and then timber! It's high maintenance but totally worth the effort! It needs tactics like never before. Three images combined together, to show off the steps to Villager's tree planting move.
Miiverse Icon.png
November 6, 2013
Link's down aerial in SSB4.
 Pic of the day. Link's downward strike was designed to change to a Meteor Smash when the tip of the sword is aligned just right at the start. However, it will be removed if it's deemed too powerful overall after some multiplayer play tests. Confirmed Link's down aerial has gained the ability to meteor smash, though Sakurai warned he may remove it if he finds it to be too powerful after testing.
Miiverse Icon.png
November 7, 2013
Marth Smash.4 Reveal.jpg
 Pic of the day. Marth joins the battle!! Once again, everyone will be overwhelmed by his magnificent sword skills!! Marth confirmed to return as a playable character, with a redesign based off his more recent appearances in the Fire Emblem series.
Miiverse Icon.png
November 8, 2013
Showing the front and back of Marth in SSB4.
 Pic of the day. We gave Marth a full makeover, giving him design elements from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and newer games. Sakurai showed off the aforementioned new design of Marth.
Miiverse Icon.png
November 11, 2013
Two Capsules in SSB4 for Wii U.
 Pic of the day. Here are the familiar capsules--these guys deserve a prize for being in every single game. We gave them a cute redesign by shortening their length a bit. Capsules previously appeared in their Melee and Brawl design in the Developer's Direct at E3, but are now shown to be redesigned, now being shorter and wider.
Miiverse Icon.png
November 12, 2013
Marth and Link performing their dash attacks in SSB4.
 Pic of the day. Marth's sword has a powerful tip! So we gave his sword slashes a sharp look with an emphasis on its edge. Confirmed Marth's sword will retain its tipper gimmick, with trails being much brighter at the tip to visually signify the sweetspot of his sword.
Miiverse Icon.png
November 13, 2013
Pic of the day Nov. 13, 2013. Villager using a grapple on Link, which is stated to act as a grab.
 Pic of the day. The Villager's bug catching net that was shown in the movie is actually a grapple move. It is sort of like Link's Clawshot and Samus's Grapple Beam. Villager's net was confirmed to be a grab move, hinting that it is his grab. It is now known to be his grab.

Pikachu sitting in SSB4.
 Pic of the day. The characters' thick outlines are only available in the 3DS version. Only the external outline is thickened and won't appear in instances like when the hands or feet are overlapping. It's got a softness to it and is not just black. —
Miiverse Icon.png
November 15, 2013
Full-view of Mario Galaxy.
 Pic of the day. A new stage, Mario Galaxy!! The pull of gravity emanates from the center of the planet, so this will require using brand-new tactics. Confirmed a new Mario stage based on the Super Mario Galaxy games. It is additionally confirmed to have an entirely new stage concept, with the stage's gravity emanating from the center of the planet, instead of from the bottom of the stage. This means characters and projectiles will traverse around the planet's curvature instead of straight, and jumping or getting launched upwards from the edge will cause the character to move diagonally.
Miiverse Icon.png
Bowser, Mario, Peach and Pikachu showing off Mario Galaxy's gravity.
 Here's what happens when you stand by the edges. Vertical jumps and getting hit upward will shoot you up diagonally.
November 18, 2013

November 20, 2013
WindyHillWindmill.png
 Pic of the day. The giant wind mill in the right-hand side of Windy Hill. It keeps on turning even though it can't fit in the screen, so you'll find yourself in trouble if you're on it for too long. Confirmed a prior unseen stage element in a wind mill on Windy Hill Zone. It additionally confirmed that it lies beyond the stage boundaries, so characters that stand on it for too long can get carried past the blast line.
Miiverse Icon.png
November 21, 2013

Mario and two Ray Guns on the Mario Galaxy stage in Super Smash Bros. 4.
 Pic of the day. Here's the new edition of the Ray Gun. The Smash Bros. mark appears backward because it acts like a stamp. We design the Ray Gun carefully each time to ensure it doesn't look like a real gun. Confirmed the return of the Ray Gun as an item, as well as its new redesign that makes it appear less realistic.

Fox and Toon Link "Strong Blow" Effect.jpeg
 Pic of the day. A red-black effect now appears when you're hit by a strong blow. It'll only appear when you have high damage, so when you see this you're in trouble--and you're probably about to get KO'd! Confirmed a new visual effect to accentuate when a landed blow produces especially high knockback.

December 2, 2013
Villager with some turnips in SSB4
 Pic of the day. Turnips are used in the Villager's up-air and down-air attacks. Perhaps because the turnip prices fluctuate depending on the day's market, the number of turnips that appear changes every time. How cute. It is now known that the amount of turnips increases damage dealt.
Miiverse Icon.png
December 3, 2013
The Dark Emperor with Wii Fit Trainer.
 Pic of the day. Pop quiz! Who is this monster, and where is it from? The cage may serve as a hint. Confirmed a Find Mii stage, as well as the appearance of the Dark Emperor in it.

Villager Gyroid SSB4.jpg
 Pic of the day. The Villager's special attack, the Lloid Rocket, is a projectile weapon like no other--you can either launch it or ride on it. When you fire it off, keep pressing the button to hop aboard--you can even control its speed. It's more powerful when you're riding it. Confirmed the Gyroid as one of Villager's special moves.
Miiverse Icon.png
December 6, 2013
Smash.4 - Skull Kid.jpg
 Pic of the day. Here's a new Assist Trophy--the Skull Kid! I repeat, it's an Assist Trophy, not a new fighter. The characters announced on the website are the fighters! Confirmed the Skull Kid wearing Majora's Mask from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask as an Assist Trophy. This is the first reveal of an Assist Trophy character, and by extension, confirmed the return of the Assist Trophy item. Sakurai additionally assures that playable characters will always have a corresponding page on the official website when revealed, unlike nonplayable characters like Assist Trophies.
Miiverse Icon.png
December 9, 2013
Steel Diver SSB4.jpg
 Pic of the day. Q: "Is this a Steel Diver?" A: "Yes, indeed, that is a Steel Diver." The sub from Steel Diver is now a cute projectile weapon--it launches torpedoes that fly slowly at first. Confirmed a new shooting item, the Steel Diver.
Miiverse Icon.png
December 10, 2013
The result of Marth breaking Mega Man's shield in SSB4.
 Pic of the day. There weren't a lot of people who used the Shield Breaker to break people's shields, so we've now made it much more powerful. This pic is from immediately after a shield break. Confirmed that Shield Breaker will receive some sort of power buff due to its relative lack of use in Brawl.
Miiverse Icon.png

The Miiverse post states that her using the star Cursor is her down special move, and is tentatively called the Gravitational Pull.
 Pic of the day. Rosalina's down special move, tentatively called the Gravitational Pull, sucks up items and weapons. Weapons will be disabled when using this move, of course. You have to shake the Wii Remote to perform this move in Super Mario Galaxy, but you won't need to do that in this game. Besides giving some information on a move seen in Rosalina's trailer, Sakurai indirectly confirmed that motion controls will not be required in the game.

Link's Hero's Bow and Pit's Palutena's Arrow hitting each other
 Pic of the day. Both Link and Pit use bows, but when they fire simultaneously, their arrows meet and cancel out closer to Pit. Besides attack power and projectile speed, there are many elements that affect tactics, such as accuracy, vulnerability after attacking, and even seemingly unrelated features like a character's physical abilities. —

Lucario Smash.4 Reveal.jpg
 Pic of the day. The heroic Aura Pokémon, Lucario, joins the battle!! We've increased the influence of Aura this time, so a damaged Lucario is truly a force to be reckoned with. Confirmed Lucario's return along with a buffed Aura.

Lucario joined the battle for the first time in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which was released six years ago. The production staff of Brawl worked really hard to expand the character roster--without their efforts, Lucario probably never would have joined the battle.
