User blog comment:Bowser & Jr./Dillon Confirmed as an Assist Trophy for SSB4/@comment-2072003-20140502072041

One can only hope for a sign that Dillon will be a full on series in the future.

...Or not.

Anywho, I'm just glad Dillon is represented at all in Smash. Getting to an Assist Trophy is a miracle all by itself. His model is also very well done, as per other Assist Trophies like Skull Kid and Midna, etc.. Judging by Sakurai's comments about Dillon, he seems to see him as an actual cool looking character, so this actually brings me hope that this will be one of those instances where an Assist Trophy's universe in general is also represented by a good reasonable measure like a stage included, along with other trophies (like Russ, Gallo, Boone, Nomad, etc. etc.), but I'm getting ahead of myself here.

The first Dillon was just an ol' standalone game from the eShop. Suddenly, there was a sequel and came with it was a Puzzle Panel for StreetPass Puzzle, and now we got Dillon as an Assist Trophy in Smash. Maybe I'm just a little too optimistic, but this may possibly be the opportunity for Dillon's Rolling Western to start rolling out into a fantastic new franchise! It does have a solid main cast of characters from both games (Dillon, Russ, Gallo, Boone, and Nomad) and both games have interesting gameplay, so this is a perfect opportunity to expand the world. Who knows? Maybe Dillon might get in "Super Smash Bros. 5?"

Once again, I got ahead of myself. heh

Also when I initially saw the first pic, I legit thought that Dillon was playable and my heart starting beating fast. Then I saw the words "Assist Trophies" and my heart rate went back to normal. lol
