Yo-Kai Support

Yo-Kai Support is a special feature in New Super Smash Brothers. When playing as Nate/Katie on the Springdale stage, performing your Up Taunt will initiate conversations with Whisper and Jibanyan, giving advice on how to defeat your opponent.
Yo-Kai Support is seen as a successor to Palutena's Guidance from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Wii U.
==Conversations==
===Mario===
*Nate/Katie: Do you know who this fighter is, Whisper?
*Whisper: Of course I do. That's Mario!
*Nate/Katie: Mario? I've heard that he's one of the most famous fighters in this game!
*Whisper: Why, yes! He's been in people's hearts for a very long time... over thirty years, if I recall correctly!
*Nate/Katie: That's amazing! I've only been in people's hearts for about .
*Jibanyan: Oh, a new-timer against an old-timer! This could be exciting!
*Nate/Katie: Exciting? Yeah... though it'd help to know how to beat him.
*Jibanyan: Well, Mario's a very well-balanced fighter. He doesn't have a real strength or weakness.
*Whisper: Just try to be at your best when you battle him.
*Nate/Katie: Alright! But... I can still ask for his autograph if I win, right?
*Jibanyan: So long as you don't blast him too far off the stage!
===Luigi===
*Jibanyan: Ah, here's a famous one!
*Whisper: Yes, that's Luigi, Mario's younger brother.
*Nate/Katie: Luigi? Didn't he have to do with him?
*Whisper: He did.
*Nate/Katie: Then why didn't his brother get his own year as well?
*Whisper: Mario's already famous enough without his own year. Luigi's only had a few chances to step out of his shadow...
*Nate/Katie: Hey, there's a torch in his hands. Mario doesn't use a torch, does he?
*Jibanyan: No, he doesn't. Just because they're brothers doesn't mean that they need the same fighting style!
*Nate/Katie: So what kind of attack does he use that torch for?
*Whisper: The torch is Luigi's newest attack - the Dark-Light Device and Strobulb Flash.
*Nate/Katie: That's two separate attacks.
*Whisper: Well, yes. It's a multi-purpose torch.
*Jibanyan: Both the Dark-Light Device and the Strobulb Flash are quick, but they leave Luigi open after he attacks. So hang on the edge of his torch's range, dodge, and get ready for a finishing blow!
===Peach===
*Whisper: Look, that's Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom.
*Nate/Katie: A real princess? Why's she fighting like this?
*Whisper: She must have some free time. Being a princess can be tiring, after all.
*Jibanyan: Especially if you keep getting kidnapped.
*Nate/Katie: Kidnapped? That makes her sound like a fairytale princess...
*Whisper: Well, most fairytale princesses only have to go through hardships like that once.
*Nate/Katie: She must be a very special princess if she gets kidnapped all the time. Do you think she hasn't found the man of her dreams yet?
*Jibanyan: Well, you can never be too sure.
*Whisper: Talking about the man of her dreams will get us nowhere. We'd best talk about what it's like to fight Peach.
*Jibanyan: Against Peach, your main worry is the parasol that she uses to recover from falls. Try to intercept her while she's floating!
*Nate/Katie: Okay! Though, now that I think about it...
*Whisper: Yes?
*Nate/Katie: Why doesn't Peach use her parasol to escape every time she gets kidnapped?
*Whisper: To be honest, I wish that I knew.
===Bowser===
*Nate/Katie: This looks like a dangerous enemy...
*Whisper: His name is Bowser, the king of the Koopas.
*Jibanyan: The Koopas? Aren't those turtle creatures?
*Whisper: Yes, though none of his subjects can breathe fire quite like Bowser can.
*Nate/Katie: Breathe fire? You mean... I'm fighting a dragon?!
*Whisper: A dragon turtle, if anything. Rest assured, his fire breath isn't particularly dangerous...
*Jibanyan: Bowser can't use his fire breath for long - if he does, it becomes weaker!
*Whisper: A lot of Bowser's attacks are like the fire breath - powerful, but if you can dodge them, he'll be at a major disadvantage.
*Nate/Katie: Alright! All I have to do is keep dodging his attacks, and before long I'll be a dragon slayer!
*Jibanyan: Uh... dragon turtle slayer.
*Nate/Katie: That isn't too much of a difference, is it?
*Whisper: Well, a real dragon would be much .
*Jibanyan: Especially without a full team of yo-kai!
===Rosalina===
*Jibanyan: Hey, it's Rosalina!
*Nate/Katie: Which one is Rosalina? The lady or the star?
*Whisper: The lady is Rosalina, and her star is called a Luma.
*Jibanyan: There are loads of Lumas in the night sky, and Rosalina looks after all of them!
*Nate/Katie: All of the Lumas?
*Whisper: Yes, all of the Lumas.
*Nate/Katie: I wonder why she's only brought one Luma to the battlefield?
*Whisper: Likely to reduce the number of Lumas lost.
*Nate/Katie: Wait, the Luma fights for her? I thought it was just a little cheerleader...
*Jibanyan: Rosalina's fighting style revolves around battle-combo moves with the Luma!
*Whisper: She can attack from very far away with her Luma, but if you defeat it, she'll be weakened for a while. That should be your best chance to finish her off.
*Jibanyan: Though it might take a while to defeat her, thanks to her Launch Star recovery move.
*Nate/Katie: Okay, I see. Is there anything else you have to tell me?
*Whisper: Yes. Your Pins won't be effective in this battle, thanks to her Gravitational Pull. It diverts projectiles of any kind.
*Jibanyan: It also pulls items towards her, so if you want to use an item, you'll have to get to it ASAP!
===Yoshi===
*Nate/Katie: I thought the dinosaurs had gone extinct?
*Whisper: That's not a dinosaur, that's a Yoshi.
*Jibanyan: Quite small for a dinosaur, isn't he?
*Nate/Katie: Well, dinosaurs can be as small as ten inches tall, can't they?
*Jibanyan: I didn't know that!
*Nate/Katie: Oh, did you know that dinosaurs were around for a hundred times longer than humans have been around for?
*Jibanyan: I didn't know that, either!
*Nate/Katie: Or that the word "dinosaur" means "terrible lizard"?
*Whisper: That's enough of the trivia, thank you. It's not going to help you defeat a Yoshi, is it?
*Nate/Katie: Well... no, you're right, Whisper.
*Whisper: Now, Yoshi's Egg Lay will trap you for longer the more you've been damaged. However, the range is short, so attacking from far away can be a good plan. Or, you can try to Inspirit him to stop it from eating you to begin with?
===Link===
*Jibanyan: Ah, there's the Hero of Twilight!
*Whisper: The Hero of Twilight? I thought his name was Link...
*Jibanyan: Yes, well, there are many different Links in Hyrule's history. That's why I'm having to call this one the Hero of Twilight.
*Nate/Katie: Hyrule? Hero of Twilight? I'm confused!
*Jibanyan: Oh, sorry! I completely forgot who I was talking to!
*Nate/Katie: So, what is Hyrule? And why does this person have a sword?
*Whisper: Hyrule is a faraway kingdom, where Link here comes from.
*Jibanyan: Uh, where the Hero of Twilight comes from, in this case.
*Whisper: Actually, all Links come from Hyrule. Though only he and have made it to these battles.
*Nate/Katie: Am I hearing things wrong, or did you say that several people have the name Link?
*Whisper: Well, yes. It's a name common among Hylian heroes.
*Nate/Katie: Sorry, Whisper, but I don't think this history lesson is helping.
*Whisper: Oh, right! I'm so sorry... anyhow, Pins won't work so well on Link, as he can block them with his shield.
*Jibanyan: You'll have to get up close to fight him. Just watch out for his sword - especially the Spin Attack!
*Nate/Katie: You still haven't told me why he has a sword...
===Zelda===
*Nate/Katie: Who's this?
*Whisper: I believe that's Zelda, the princess of Hyrule.
*Nate/Katie: What's a princess doing on the battlefield?
*Jibanyan: Don't be fooled by what she does. I believe she's a yo-kai user, just like you!
*Nate/Katie: A yo-kai user? I don't think I see a Yo-Kai Watch on her...
*Jibanyan: She may not have a watch, but her Phantom Slash attack is the real thing!
*Whisper: Ah, yes, the Phantom Slash. It's quite a powerful attack, but every powerful attack has a disadvantage.
*Jibanyan: A yo-kai user is helpless without their yo-kai. If you destroy the phantom, she can't call it back for a while!
*Nate/Katie: Alright, so all I have to do is wait for her to use the phantom, then destroy it!
*Whisper: Sadly, it's not that simple. Princess Zelda isn't quite defenceless...
*Jibanyan: For instance, she has an attack called Nayru's Love that reflects projectiles.
*Nate/Katie: Reflects projectiles... you don't mean my Pins, do you?
*Jibanyan: Yes, your Pins.
*Nate/Katie: So maybe it's safer not to use Pins to begin with?
*Whisper: Maybe it is, though without them you have no way of outranging her Din's Fire attack, so be careful when you're far away from her!
*Nate/Katie: Oh, this is such a bad dilemma... do I Pin her or not?
===Sheik===
*Nate/Katie: Hey, is that a ninja?
*Whisper: Something like a ninja, it would seem. Their name is Sheik.
*Jibanyan: "Their" name? You don't know their gender, Whisper?
*Whisper: I don't. Sheik's identity is a real mystery. Though I've heard that they're actually a princess in disguise...
*Nate/Katie: A ninja princess? That sounds so cool!
*Whisper: This isn't the time for fantasising, sadly. We'd best talk about strategies against Sheik.
*Nate/Katie: Well, if they're a ninja, they'll definitely be fast...
*Jibanyan: That's right - and hard to hit! You should try using your Bicycle to outspeed them.
*Whisper: Let's not forget about Sheik's Vanish, either. It's hard to tell what direction they'll move in when they vanish, so be ready to dodge or shield.
===Kirby===
*Nate/Katie: Hey, look at that pink pillow!
*Whisper: That's not a pillow, that's a Kirby.
*Jibanyan: I don't think it's a very good idea to sleep on him, unless you want to be inhaled!
*Nate/Katie: Inhaled? You mean that this pillow... can eat me?!
*Jibanyan: Well, yes.
*Whisper: You see, when Kirby inhales something, he copies their ability. If he inhales you, for instance, he'll be able to use your Pins against you.
*Nate/Katie: That doesn't make any sense. If he's eaten me, then I won't be there for him to throw Pins at me...
*Whisper: Oh, don't worry, you'll always survive being inhaled.
*Nate/Katie: What do you mean?
*Whisper: ...it's probably best not to go into further detail.
*Nate/Katie: Fair enough. So, how else can he attack?
*Jibanyan: Kirby may look small, but he has some powerful attacks at his disposal. Be careful of the Hammer Flip at close range - and when he's in the air, don't go under him, unless you want him to use his Stone attack!
===Red===
*Nate/Katie: Hey, this person seems quite similar to me!
*Jibanyan: You think?
*Nate/Katie: Well, yeah! We both fight with groups of creatures, don't we?
*Whisper: Well, that's true - though Red here fights very differently from you.
*Nate/Katie: Now that you mention it, he's not even standing on the battlefield... it's the creatures who are doing all the work!
*Whisper: You're right. Those creatures are called Pokémon, and they're quite a lot like us yo-kai...
*Nate/Katie: ...but he isn't using a watch, is he? It looks like he's holding the Pokémon in little capsules.
*Jibanyan: Those are called Poké Balls. You see, Pokémon live in the wild, and people need to use those Poké Balls to befriend them!
*Nate/Katie: It must be really uncomfortable inside a Poké Ball...
*Whisper: Well, we'd best not feel sorry for those Pokémon. It'll make it harder for you to defeat them if you do, after all.
*Nate/Katie: Okay! Don't think about being inside a Poké Ball, Nate/Katie, don't think about being inside a Poké Ball...
*Jibanyan: Anyway, it's worth knowing that Red likes to switch between his three Pokémon. Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander all have different strengths and weaknesses, so try to figure them all out!
