The only thing that would upset me is him not being in the game at all honestly.
If BanDee gets snubbed like that, I'll be very disappointed. I'd have taken getting disconfirmed in yesterday's massacre over that. At least that would have been acknowledgement. I'm going to try my best to stay positive (or at least neutral) until release, though.
On top of that, Hype Killer Vergeben has confirmed not two, but THREE of the remaining DLC characters already (I'm not gonna spoil it. You can go look it up yourself). That leaves only two slots left, one of which is likely going to Byleth from FE3H, and the other is likely going to either another 3rd party or promotional character, so things really aren't looking good for our boi.
... you're going to make me hide from the internet for the next 10-14 months. I'm so sick of spoilers. I wish they'd just let people have a genuine reaction and talk about the characters they like without rumors limiting discussion. That has been the absolute worst part of this cycle.
All we can do at this point is cross our fingers and hope that he made it.
Sooooo uh... about Meta Knights new Final Smash
This raises so many questions
WMG: Maybe Mr. Sakurai knows something that we don't yet? Kirby's "unmasked Meta Knight" palette in
Smash for hinted at the design changes Meta Knight would see over a year and a half later in
Planet Robobot. (Yellow eyes, no blush stickers.) What if he's actually had four wings all this time -- two that turn into the cape, and two that don't? That would help explain the inconsistency of him throwing off his cape to show his wings. (The most recent instance of such that I can think of was in
RtDL's opening cutscene, so even the modern Kirby staff has done it.)
Though that raises the question of whether he could have two capes...
Or they just did it because it looks cool. (And it does.)
Anyway, even though his new FS is a bit copy-paste multi-slash, that animation looks
really slick. The timing on the ending twirl is great. Really wish we had it HD so I could get a better look.
