Akira Yuki of Virtua Fighter series has been revealed as an Assist Trophy for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!

Revealed in Nintendo's latest direct, while not a fully fledged character, an Assist Trophy is a guest that helps you fight during battles. Akira sports some of his trademark moves as he battles across the stage.

Well, that's certainly one way to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Virtua Fighter...

I'm amazed that Akira jumped from DOA5 to Smash Bros as an Assist Trophy. I mean, even Nintendo knows how important VF is. At least.

Does anyone know if VF1 Akira and VF5 Jacky Mii outfits are in this? I don't know if it means anything, anyone notice Akira assist trophy was fighting Samus, not sure if that was purposely done as a sort of nod to Sarah since she and Samus look alike. Not sure if I'm saying it right.

Pretty sure it was, ditto fighting 'Wolf'.

I don't know about the Mii outfits, but I doubt it.

Just a small correction, Ultimate comes out on the 7th. Not the 8th.

Even though I thought there was a glimmer of a chance for him to be a full character I am still glad to see he's an assist. We'll probably see a few other VF characters as spirits.
