King Dedede being confirmed is really good. Kirby is such an underrated series, and the perfect three are now in Brawl.
Kirby has ALWAYS been my favorite nintendo series...ever since Dreamland 1, and especially Dreamland 2!

Want to hear some speculation?
Kirby's wearing Dedede's hat in that pic, and it says that Dedede uses his hammer alot. My guess, is that they are refining Kirby's moves (perhaps taking out the hammer and replacing it with something better), because Dedede will use a hammer and it might be stale to have both characters utilize the same weapon. That also might be why Kirby wasn't playable at the demos.

I'm veeeeeerry happy about this update.

But because Waddledees are carrying his throne, It probably rules out the possibility of WaddleDee being a playable character. maybe they'll be AT's.

Um. Waddledees as a playable character would be the dumbest thing imaginable, especially considering there's already 3 characters from that series.

I know this is off topic but I did mention this before this could very well be the last Smash Brothers Game Rx also just mentioned it aswell. What if this is the last Smash game what would you guys do?? Im asking because it seems like Mr. Sakurai is pulling out all the stops and making this game as massive as it could be. Sorry to ask this here but I dont know how to post in the boards.
I think this may very well be the last Smash (At least with Sakurai heading it) so I'm sure Sakurai is pulling out all the stops.

King Dedede is going to be the first heavy-weight character I actually use (I played a bit as Bowser and DK but I didn't really like them) King Dedede looks adorable.

Now, this seems a little odd to me. I thought the characters we were seeing were the starting roster, but it seems unlikely that there's three characters from Kirby all on the starting roster. Especially as we haven't seen newcomers from Starfox or Zelda yet, or Captain Falcon.

Also... I've definately seen that picture of Dedede before, somewhere.
This all seems weird.

Not a character on my wishlist, but any new character is a good character. Looks like he could be fun to play, glad to see they're fleshing out the heavy weights too.

Anyone else notice they mentioned his hammer as being "newly-mechanized?" Sounds like that had to make a minor change in order to provide him with a unique moveset. Fine with me, but makes me wonder what he's gonna do.

Edit: ^^^^^ yes, he is cute and cuddly but he is infact evil
Not really. In the Kirby games he did cause a lot of ruckus, but he mostly does things in the inerest of Popstar. Because, you can't be king of a broken country, isn't it?

For example, in Kirby's Adventure, the only reason he broke the Star Rod is because he wanted to prevent Nightmare from taking it. Thus, he's not really that evil.

True, Dedede is usually far more mischevious, and sometimes selfish, then 'evil.' But hes still Kirby's main antagonist.

whoa this can't be right. I could've almost sworn the King was unlockable. I don't understand why would the kirby series start out with all 3 of it's characters? We still haven't even gotten Falcon yet...

Now i don't know what is going on (unlockable or not). Nice job Sakurai, you got me.
Just because they are announced on the site doesn't mean they will be part of the starting roster. In fact I remember hearing that all 3rd party characters would be unlockable and two of them have been announced. There are 22 characters on the site already I think that would be way to big of a starting roster

King Dedede looks freakin awesome and I think some more major villains may be on their way

Special moves and/or FSA for tomorrow

Off topic, but this makes me think of subspace. Goombas, Koopas, Waddle Dees, Bronto Burts, Keese, Moblins, Shreikbats, Metroids, Grim Reapers, Buzz Bombers... and more, all trying to get in your way! Watch out!

Anyway, back on topic, I'm overjoyed that the main Kirby crew is complete! Since Dedede is now playable, (Just saying that gives me chills), I would be expecting Dark Matter to be a boss. Or Marx. Please let it be Marx!!!

Dedede I bet you is not a starting character. The boxart of the game has the starting characters, and it has Metaknight and Kirby so I'm sure that Dedede is an unlockable.

When I clicked on the Dojo today, I was like "wtf, did I click on a shoop from /v/ by accident?"

I swear I've seen it too. Looks just like that shoop that's been going around...

I think...

...Someone must have leaked Dedede early and passed it off as a Photoshop...

The Japanese spelling is also Dedede, which would be pronounced closer to Daydayday, but everyone I've heard say it in English pronounces it Deedeedee.

EDIT: So late >_<

The official English name is Dee Dee Dee (Pronounced)

The official Japanese name is Day Day Day (Pronounced)
The Japanese pronounciation is more like "deh deh deh". It only sounds like Day day day if you're an American trying to speak Japanese. LOL

Anyway, this is great.

Just give me a Kirby stage, Captain Falcon, Sheik, Ganondorf, and I'm set for the next 10 years.

Oh, and plz make a DS Smash Bros that can connect to Brawl. I KNOW YOU'RE HERE SAKURAI. I KNOW YOU'RE LISTENING. DO WHAT I SAY.

I can honestly say I didn't expect Dedede to actually make it into the game...
