The official Super Smash Bros. Facebook page has posted a screenshot confirming Ghirahim as an Assist Trophy in the upcoming 3DS/Wii U game. What he actually does is still a mystery, but this is quite big news, nonetheless. Check out the post after the jump!

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

Do you remember your first time smacking a Cucco? I remember mine. It was a magical moment in Ocarina of Time that made me fear for my life. Thanks to Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS, you will soon be able to share that terror with your best friends and bitter rivals.

That’s right, the Cucco will be an item in the new Super Smash Bros. that summons its furious kin to lay a beat down whoever is unlucky enough to be near the guy who got hit with it. It looks like the item will act similarly to a smaller version of Pit’s final smash in Brawl. It does not appear that holding the item allows the bearer to glide, but gliding or slow-falling could still be added in the final version.
