You might also notice that it zooms in on him and that his text and even his model cover a decent patch of screen. He works more like the Nintendogs item than the Goldeen Pokeball. But it looks like it might last longer.
Also, I love him.
He'll last longer. No doubt about that. But I don't think it zooms in automatically. I think they just took screenshots up close to show what he looks like. Maybe I'm wrong though. If they did make the screen zoom in, you wouldn't be able to see your characters (judging by the screenshots).
Sarhan you shouldn't have to rely on assist trophies to win. I think you're forgetting that it will just be FUN and FUNNY to see this guy come out and everyone is laughing and trying to read what he is saying while they are fighting.
Unless you don't play with friends in which case I sort of see what you mean but he could be a real riot in multiplayer.
I guess you're right. He could offer some decent comedic value. Hopefully he'll actually be able to distract people enough so I could go up to them and smack them while they're trying to read.
And yeah, nobody should have to rely on items to win (and I rarely do since I rarely play with items, even in 4 player). But it's always nice when you're down and the other person thinks they've pretty much won, but then you get some item that turns it all around.
I guess he's an okay update. Still probably one of my least favorite ATs, but maybe it's because I haven't played AC. I guess I was just disappointed because it wasn't a stage, a character, or a character's moves, which are my favorite updates.
