Revision as of 22:45, July 11, 2014

I know we saw the moves, but do we have confirmation as to what controller inputs cause them? Unless we know for a fact that a move is an up tilt, for example, we shouldn't claim it as such. Looking like a type of move is not sufficient information. (See Mario Tornado from Melee to Brawl.) Miles (talk) 19:23, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

The smashes are confirmed; you see her charging them and done in the listed direction. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 20:02, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

3DS appearance

This image] shows the logo for both versions of the game along with the trainer, indicating she is a "part" of both games. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 22:43, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Promotional images can't be assumed to mean anything. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Prismatic 22:43, 11 June 2013 (EDT)
They said in one of the trailers that all of the characters would be the same from version to version. DoctorPain99 01:22, 12 June 2013 (EDT)
Sakurai said that the only the difference between the Wii u version and the 3DS version will be in the stages, at 3DS version we will find more stages from 3DS games (portable titles) and at the Wii U version we will se more stages from Wii and Wii U games (to-home titles)Hi I'm Fenix 11:50, 12 June 2013 (EDT)
Actually, Sakurai said that the number of characters would be the same from version to version. There's a big difference. ChuckNorris24.png 11:52, 12 June 2013 (EDT)
It's now been confirmed by the man himself that both games will indeed feature the same exact library of characters. I believe we can put this issue to rest now. I'd edit the page myself, but this account is brand-new. VinLAURiA (talk) 17:40, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

Why would the Wii Fit Trainer be in a game where she has no home stages? --Meinfoo22 (talk) 11:08, 14 July 2013 (EDT)

Marth and Roy in Melee had no home stages. Scr7Wolfsig.png 11:11, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
And it was just said stages in general would be based on handheld games on the 3DS, not that all stages will be handheld based. Omega Tyrant TyranitarMS.png 11:27, 14 July 2013 (EDT)
Wii Fit Trainer could have a Wuhu Island stage anyway. That would belong on Nintendo 3DS, thanks to Pilotwings Resort and Mario Kart 7. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 11:58, 14 July 2013 (EDT)

Moveset

HavocReaper48 found this gallery of gifs for Wii Fit Trainer's moveset. If anybody has the time to upload them and add them to this page, please do. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 20:02, 13 June 2013 (EDT)

Alternate Costume?

This is just speculation and should be removed. No official source confirms that the Male Wii Fit Trainer will be such. Also, to respond to Ixbran's statement in the edit summary ("If he were an assist trophy, a section dedicated to assist trophies would be on the official site"), how do you figure that? There doesn't appear to be such on the Dojo's archive, and that page had a section for stages, which is absent for the Smash 4 site. Also, while one would assume Sakurai would confirm Assist Trophies their first appearance in a pic of the day, the same could also be said of alternate costumes.

Can I get some kind of response to this? Is there an official source that says it's an alternate costume? Because Sakurai's pic of the day comment didn't. JamesJH-Heartless.pngHeart 21:10, 31 October 2013 (EDT)
It could be an alt. costume or Sakurai really decided to make a Male Wii Fit Trainer char. On another note, if it is an alt. costume I have a question: has anyone ever heard FWFT make any vocalizations? Because people will be stereotyping if MWFT is a palette swap and has female grunts. RoyboyX Talk 21:28, 31 October 2013 (EDT)
We don't know the Male trainer's role in the game. It would be odd if he was an alternate costume for the Wii Fit Trainer we have, since while there were alternate costumes inspired by other characters like Peach's Daisy costume, they don't come close enough to the character. The Daisy costume just looks like Peach wearing orange and dyed her hair, and does not have Daisy's face. And the alternate costumes are based on color, and the two Wii Fit Trainers wear a similar color scheme, so it is a stretch (stretch, wii fit, get it?) to consider the Male trainer an alternate costume. Why isn't Toon Link or Young Link an alt costume for Link? Or Dr. Mario a costume for Mario? Nothing's confirmed for Male Wii Fit Trainer. He can be an assist trophy or something. Best not to assume until it is confirmed. SeanWheeler (talk) 16:50, 2 November 2013 (EDT)

The Hulahoops

Sakury never siad that The HUEla hoops were her up specile moves. Speculaton.

Male or female?

Whether or not we need to refer to the WFT or Villager as female or male, respectively, is a legitimate debate because both titles are ambiguous. I have two ways we can address the issue that is what to refer to the Wii Fit Trainer and Villager:

  • We can assign genders based on the artwork (Villager's shows the male, so we use "he," "his," and "him", and WFT's is female, so we use "her," "hers," and "she")
  • We can use "they" and "their" to be neutral.

For the sake of consistency we'd have to apply either one of these rules to both articles. Thoughts? blue ninjakoopa 21:43, 11 July 2014 (EDT)

First option would be better. If we referred to WFT with "they", then we run into wording issues such as, "They unleash a powerful yoga punch", which would heavily imply that they're a duo character when they definitely aren't. MegaTron1XDDecepticon.png 23:45, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
