Well, A LOT of Kirby games have multiple Kirbys in them.
Bandanna Dee is more comparable to Captain Toad in my opinion; however, that is neither here nor there.
...Yes, he is the best choice for a 4th Kirby representative. A 4th Kirby representative that we do not need, nor does any evidence point to another rep.
This is the roster I think will have a good chance of making it in the game.
Bandana Dee:
I know some people have a problem with him. However I find him fine, and is the best choice for the 4th Kirby Rep. He can have a unique moveset that uses spears, or potentially he could summon all of the enemies that Kirby fights thoughout the games. His appearence in the 2015 Kirby game, (Kirby and the Rainbow Curse) proves that he is more than just a generic Waddle Dee.
Eh, at least they're from different franchises so that their chances are on more equal footing. Not like Dark Pit v. Medusa, or Ghirahim v. Vaati v. Ganon, or even Dixie v. K. Rool.
I think it's because E-10+ wasn't a rating yet. At least, I don't think it was. Another game is Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, which on the Gamecube was rated T, while it's sequel which I believe had a bit of better graphics was rated E-10+. I'm quite sure if the rating had existed, BOTH games that I've mentioned would be E-10+
They aren't mutually exclusive.
They are on even footing, but I keep seeing this "Bandana Dee, a side character who happens to be the fourth main character of the Kirby franchise" getting in over a third DK character, when the DK franchise is the fourth or fifth-best selling Nintendo franchise of all time.
I keep seeing people add a fourth Kirby rep before a third DK rep. That's what I have a problem with. Yes, its incredibly possible Kirby can get a fourth character, but Bandana Dee isn't that iconic compared to characters of other franchises. Bandana Dee is the fourth-main Kirby character, but he's still closer to a slightly more recurring Captain Toad (although I think Captain Toad is the same "Toad" character from past games, which would make him less recurring). And unlike Lucina or Dixie Kong, whom could potentially made clones/semiclones, that isn't possible with Bandana Dee at all.
Some people just aren't DK fans. I don't keep in mind the feelings of Star Fox fans when I'm supporting Ridley and Ganon.
"Surprises" are said to be in store at the San Diego Comic-Con....... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!
I try to keep in mind everything when I do my speculation. I take into account popularity, sales, how prominent the character is, and how much potential the character is. I won't deny Bandana Dee has loads of potential, I just try and keep into mind everything, and as far as I'm concerned, Bandana Dee is way low on the priority list. Again, especially because of how OP Metaknight was, he likely needs a complete overhaul to fix him.
What do you think of a playable 8-Bit Mario as a standalone character?
I get where you are coming from. However I would no doubt add another DK rep if I could. Preferably K. Rool.
I think it is a really silly idea. I can't think of a moveset that would be unique.
51 sounds like a good limit.
So, basically, your personal bias for Bandana Dee makes you put Bandana Dee in instead of a third DK rep? I mean, I'll admit, DK is my second-favorite Nintendo franchise, but in my early drafts, I never included both K. Rool and Dixie even though I believed both should be playable, I only included one. Nothing hints at Bandana Dee, and tons more hints at at least a third DK rep, although moreso K. Rool specifically. (Nothing except Monolith tweets really hints at Shulk.)
Agreed! I don't know if the Kritter in Smash Run was a good indicator but I feel a DK rep would be understood.
Either that or the Waddle Dee's and Waddle Doo's are perhaps now a part of his alternate side special moves for his costumisable moveset...
Hmmmm... maybe a trailer of Dixie and the Ice Climbers fighting K. Rool?Didn't Sakurai get rid of the Waddle Dees from King Dedede's moveset?
Doesn't this kind of say that a potential Bandana Dee could be the next Kirby newcomer? Because removing Waddle Dees might make Bandana Dee's prescence inside the battlefield less confusing?
And judging from Palutena's trailer, I'd easily see Sakurai giving Bandana Dee a Return To Dreamland centric moveset. (Spear, Whip, Knuckle, Sword, Fire, Spark, Ice, etc)
I don't know, it just makes sense to me.
Another DK Newcomer is extremely likely to me. Wouldn't be surprised if it's two. I'm betting it's Dixie for the trio-SNES-Kong factor, and Cranky for the "New concept" factor that pulls a Rosalina on us. K.Rool is also pretty likely, but with boss mode and stage hazards around, there's a 50/50 chance he might be turned into one. Just my guesses though. Remember when we all thought Krystal was a shoe-in, and BAM, Wolf O'Donell happened.
Would make some sense I guess. I thought the transformations were cut due to 3DS limitations because it can switch between models so quickly. It would make sense it can't switch between the three types of minions with their different properties and models very quickly, forcing them to stick just to one.
As I've stated before, if you want to include that argument... generic Waddle Dees are still in Smash Run. The argument doesn't work. Cranky Kong has already been disconfirmed, he's just a trophy, and its his Brawl model returning. Not that they'd include Cranky over the two more iconic DK characters anyway.Didn't Sakurai get rid of the Waddle Dees from King Dedede's moveset?

The thing about the Kremlings making an appearance in Smash run is how often have the Kremlings appeared in a gane without K Rool appearing as well? As far as I remember, only Diddy Kong Racing, which didnt even have DK. Besides,its not a canon game.
Well, there was also the Mario Strikers games which had the Kritters without K. Rool too.
His jumps could have him simply swimming in the air.
Kritters have never appeared as random enemies in a game without K. Rool. They do appear in the Strikers games as goalies, but that's it. Even in Diddy Kong Racing K. Rool was mentioned in the backstory where its stated he personally sent Krunch to investigate what Diddy was doing.
It's not that they directly hint towards K. Rool, I think. It's that their presence in the game damages the "relevancy" argument, which is probably the one thing in K. Rool's way. They're sort of an indirect boost to his chances.
Oh if that's the case, I don't think relevancy or recency matters all that much when it comes to any additional DK characters though... But that's just me I guess...
The only way Duck Hunt will have anything to do with this game, is I think, if Duck Hunt Dog is playable. Which, I'm leaning towards that he will be. He doubles as a retro AND hardware (zapper) rep.
Well, I suppose if you never thought relevancy mattered, then the Kremlings being present in the game would have no meaning to you. In that case, I can see why you wouldn't think of them as a hint towards K. Rool.
If relevancy had any importance then we wouldn't have kremlings, we would have the snowmads
I still think it's the transfer from 64 to GameCube graphics, no character in particular is to blame
Kremlings being in Smash Run is a huge boon to K. Rool, but its also all the additional hints we've got even MORE Kremlings, plus the Chunky Kong rumors, too, further shattering any problems with the relevancy argument against K. Rool. Even then, its not relevancy, its recency. K. Rool is COMPLETELY relevant, he is the main antagonist of the DK series after all. People keep confusing "recency" for "relevancy" but they are two different things.
