Bandana Dee, the Legend of Dee - Our Star Ally as DeeLC?! (v(- ' ' -)>↑

[ADAS20]

Verg is the only leaker I’m trusting now.

 

[Acemania]

Hey guys I have an idea. How about we just ignore the leakers and wait until the official info is revealed the right way. How about that?

That's what we've all been trying to do, but no leaker has ever said BDee isn't in. They've only covered 2-3 of the slots.

I feel that I'm struggling to gain enough patience to do so. I would stop worrying about the future of DLC characters if I at least knew who the 1st character was going to be.

Once the game is out, you'll be busy enough not to be too preoccupied with that, I think.

I don't even have a Switch, so I'll have to wait approx. 395 days in order to even have a shot at getting the game itself.

Don't be silly! We already know who the first character is going to be!

Seriously, though, knowing the first character in the fighter's pass WOULD really help with setting the tone going forward. Here's hoping it's not a character whose sole reason for inclusion is to promote something.

I bet there will be at least 1 or 2 promotional characters for DLC, but I'm hoping for more fan-favorites despite the ballot not being a deciding factor when the characters were chosen.

Good news guys!

Kaptain K. Rool! Hell yeah! I'm going to rock that forever!

EDIT: Oh man, Geo Stelar? M. Bison? They went all out here.

I know this is very off-topic, but it seems like Floaty characters are gonna have a much easier time comboing? I wonder if Kirby or Mewtwo will be able to pull off throw combos that confirm into a kill...

From this, it seems the engine favors air mobility a lot more than it did in smash 4, and because you can't infinitely dodge now, some of these will always be confirms. Do you guys think Bandana Dee will be floaty or like, Meta Knight weight.

 

[D-Man9293]

Gotta love how the same people who say to avoid the leaks are the same ones who talk about them openly. That along with the constant arguing is why I've been gone for a few weeks.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Mona!

Also, pretty good alt picks, but they didn't go for oven mitts Pac-Man.

I've seen that a lot. Somebody goes on Twitter to say "God you guys just don't care about Sakurai in the slightest huh?" then they proceed to talk about how much fun they're having with the game. It's insane.

The minute I get a Switch for the game, I'm bailing out until DLC stuff happens.

At least I managed to snag a Gamecube controller adapter.

 

[Acemania]

Hey guys the Kirby Twitter posted a video showing clips from the new "Heroes in Another Dimension" mode. It's pretty cool!

 

[SwitchButton]

Spoiler: List of Online Icons

So we have the list of icons that can be used for online lobbies. In terms of Kirby icons we have

-The usual famous handful of bosses like Whispy Woods, Dark Matter, and Masked Dedede
-Generic Kirby iconography like the Halberd, a Gordo, the Meta Knights and the Ultra Sword
-Bandana Waddle Dee

It's nice to see Bandana Dee get SOME special treatment in Smash. They pretty much acknowledged that he's an important and iconic character. They even included him ALONGSIDE normal Waddle Dee, rather then having the Generic Dee simply replace him!

Dang! That's an impressive list of icons that they have in Smash! I'm surprised that they went all out with them in Ultimate when they didn't in previous Smash games!
It's cool to see Bandana Dee be one... but I am super hyped that Takumi is an icon! I will always use that one and never ever switch to other icons!

A good first character would be one that is currently a spirit.

I'm hoping with KSA Wave 3, we get some new flavor text (along with his new moves) acknowledging how his spirit doesn't mean anything. It's a very low chance but I can dream.

The four heart pins though at the end of the trailer, I remember in one of the pause screen descriptions that there were 4 heroes who sealed Void Termina away in his Vessel form. If the Another Dimension can travel to the past and future (like the Lor Starcutter) does that mean Kirby and his friends were the ones who pinned the Void Termina vessel from the start and before Hyness broke it apart? I'm trying to piece things together but it's very confusing. I need to know more! Nov. 30th can't come any sooner.

That combo has nothing to do with floatieness, rather Jigglypuff's incredible air speed. Also, Meta Knight is only 1 unit heavier than Kirby, but Meta Knight is a fastfaller.
That being said, I think Bandana Dee would probably be pretty floaty with high air speed. Those are the attributes I can best see.

Relax, only four days left now.

Geno might be the second best candidate for that, seeing as the number of SE-related spirits is conspicuously low.

So there's a listing for a Kirby game (for Wii U?!) on Amazon that's dated for 2019... If that's a Kirby 64 remake or something, then Adeleine would be all but confirmed...

I wonder if the heart itself is a boss (the way the pins are spinning around implies that it’s possibly going to try to stab us with them, and having them present so that it can be sealed with them makes sense) but then again, I’d expect Kirby and friends to be standing around it and for Hyness to be still lying around on the ground during that cutscene if that’s the case (there’s like nobody in that cutscene although that could just be debug mode shenanigans,) so, hmm.

(At least, in the US, if the update follows the same schedule as past DLCs, it actually is coming at 8PM PST on November 29, same time Kirby_JP usually updates.)

That would be awesome if the heart was a boss, It'll bring me Star Dream flashbacks but awesome regardless lol. Kirby and his friends must have been removed if this was a cutscene just to focus on Void Termina's vessel and its heart pins, it could be the last thing we see before completing the mode (or after defeating the three Mage-Sisters).
Speaking of Void Termina, do you think we'll have a new secret battle against it in the new difficulty level for Ultimate Choice? It might just be the new revamped bosses but I hope we get one, It could be that aforementioned boss if it's true.
I love how we thought nothing could top that devil Kirby smile before announcing the new difficulty.
>0.0 It just proves that this is the true face of chaos and evil.

Some bonus fight after whatever they do with Void Termina that somehow alludes to 03 would be my next guess.

So there you have it, BWD is still on the table.

I would love it if, after you defeat Void Soul, he morphs into a Kirby look-a-like and starts using a mix of copy abilities and final weapons. Not only would it further the idea that he is related to Kirby, but it would finally allow us to see what a boss fight against the pink demon would be like.

How so? They act as a way to include characters outside of fighters, just like something that's been in the game since Brawl: Assist Trophies. So Spirits are a sort of consolation prize, just like Assist Trophies. I don't see how this reopens the chances of Bandana Dee.

Spirits never deconfirmed fighters in the first place. This post has it all make sense: Spirits simply embody the aspect of a powerup or a change in game rules and don't represent an actual character.

There's also the fact that there's a Spirit that's literally just "Pit" and it isn't his fighter spirit. Pit has 2 spirits. I dont see why any other character couldn't have 2.

Like I said, anyone who says "Spirits deconfirm fighters" are completely oblivious to how they designed them and how they're supposed to work. They sacrificed trophies for a more abundant, simpler way of collecting characters and weren't designed to be significant in any way. So there's still hope for Elma, Shantae, Mach Rider, Geno, etc.

 

[smileMasky]

there has been a high amount of pessimism going around the smash community. But i think the best thing we can do is hope for the best. honestly people have been losing their mind over the whole spirits thing like honestly what makes you think your made up rule is actually set in stone nothing is.

 

[FancySmash]

I'm liking Bandana Dee having a character icon for the switch (finally). Can't believe a generic Waddle Dee took his spot for both a Star Allies Icon and an amiibo. That's another reason Bandana Dee needs Smash. He. Needs. An. Amiibo!

 

[Mogisthelioma]

....I've found that most people who claim that BDee is "Hat Goomba" are being ironic, which is kind of....unsettling.

 

[Acemania]

Does Nintendo pay attention to how many fighters each series has in Smash? If so, what would they think of the Kirby roster?

It would surprise me if they were happy about it. It would explain why Adeline's in the game, but I don't get why her over Bandana Dee.
