Assist Trophies and Pokemon

I guess its okay with the melee style x matches system there too. I like Tonberry's idea about having to hit multiple benchmarks to get a character. Maybe not for everyone, but Mewtwo for example would probably be neat to get that way. The character independent method has generally been fine for Smash Bros. games for me and generally a lot more fun, but Mewtwo's leave your Gamecube on for 24 hours was the one exception. I'd prefer any other unlock method in the series to that.

In SSBM, in addition to meeting the various requirements, you would unlock all the characters eventually by playing 1000 VS. matches, and beating them as the challenges came (Jiggs at 50, and one character at every multiple of 100). I say something like that is in order.

On an unrelated topic, do we know who is going to be unlockable and who isn't?

I don't think anybody ever discussed it, but I think it would be neat if you only started with the original Smash Bros.' characters.

edit:

That also reminds me that we should have a Chain Chomp AT. He could just stay chained in one place, or run around the stage, or even work like in Link's Awakening, that the Chain Chomp is chained to you, dashing towards nearby enemies occasionally, but maybe he'd also have a negative effect on you, making you heavier than usual.

I like these ideas, but we need to decide on one.
