Dreams. Hopes. Desires. All of these have been crushed. Yes, those looking to see Skyward Sword‘s main villain, Ghirahim, enter the Smash Bros. fighting ring as a fighter will have to try again in another 5+ years as he’s making an appearance as an Assist Trophy.

“”No, I’ll just beat you within an inch of your life!” Demon Lord Ghirahim makes an appearance in Smash Bros!! He’s an Assist Trophy, so he could conceivably back up Link, too.” — Masahiro Sakurai

So much potential, lost. It’s not like this is the first time a fan-favorite has been introduced as a mere assist trophy. Midna received the same treatment and Waluigi is returning as an Assist Trophy. Of course there’s always the possibility of Ghirahim going the Little Mac route and returning in the next entry as a full-fledged fighter! What do you think about this turn of events? Are you furious? Outraged? Sick with anger!? Sound off in the comments!
