On ground, tosses a bunch of objects near him and hits with a flurry. When three pots are thrown with proper and consistent timing, activates flow for the current stock / timed match.

Up to three objects can be on screen at once. Objects thrown can be reflected with any attack from other fighters. I think if Sakurai wants to represent a new first party IP, we have a good chance. There are few ongoing first party franchises that have yet to be represented in Smash. Regardless whether this the case or not, (which it probably isn't,) I still think we have a pretty good chance for a Rhythm Heaven fighter. alongside a character, similar to how the Namco items and ghost assist were revealed alongside Pac-Man? Yeah, I know it's farfetched, but who knows? Now, I don't want anyone to get their hopes too high, but (puts on tinfoil hat) what if we didn't see any Rhythm Heaven because they're waiting to reveal it? Possibly. Rhythm Heaven has clearly been acknowledged a fair amount in Smash 4, so I would've expected at least one assist trophy. I would've expected one to be seen if we got someone as obscure as Sukapon (which, by the way, I'm really glad is finally represented in Smash since it's an obscure game that I like a lot,) shown off during the presentation. To be honest I do find it a tiny bit suspicious we didn't even see a Rhythm Heaven assist trophy. Said, we haven't seen anything relating to Rhythm Heaven yet.
