Um. From the two (technically five I guess) characters revealed, in addition to every dlc being third party (plant doesn't count because he was late base roster), I think it might be safe to see we are out of this run. I mean, there are two spots left. "DQ character" releases within now to August, and Banjo releases around the next season. That probably means the next dlc will be announced sometime before Banjo releases if they're keeping that Feb 2020 date. I'm predicting the last two characters will be either third party or new ip. ARMS seems to have a small chance with whomever wins that final tournament thingy they're doing. I don't want to sound pessimistic or be a Daniel Downer, but...I don't know.

Nah, we are still in the running. There is definitely going to be one first party, so it will probably be us. Expect a reveal at the September direct for our little Bandana boi

Banjo reaffirms to me that Bandana Dee is pretty much a lock for Smash. Maybe not this game, but definitely at some point

https://old.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/bzdvo1/dlc_popularity_poll_results/

Banjo is cut from the exact same "fan demand" cloth as Dee. Not to mention B.D. has the whole "active Nintendo mascot" thing that carries most modern additions like Isabelle or the 10,0000 FE characters

The elegant battlefield.
I'm still thinking Dee's chances lie in a second fighter pass where spirits get upgraded. For now, I'm just gonna ride out the last two characters and see what's to be offered.

Hey, may I be added to the list of supporters? I admittedly can't really get into Kirby games myself (got myself Triple Deluxe a while back and enjoyed it, but couldn't get too deeply into it), but he does seem interesting enough to me. Plus, at this point, I just want any first-party character to make it in as part of the Fighter's Pass.

Supposedly the smash website accidentally had the codenames for the last two DLC fighters, but it feels kinda iffy (checked myself through inspection, couldn't find them).
Apparently the two codenames are "RPG" and "Origin" respectively. RPG can be just about anything, and Origin fits a few characters...

With Banjo’s announcement, it just proves that if there’s enough demand, it will happen. I have more faith in Bandana Dee now, perhaps as individual DLC a la PP if not in the Fighter Pass.

Ps. Anyone got a definite source on RPG and Origin? Got a clue to who they may be...

Cute but sad.

Don't lose hope just yet. Seems like Nintendo is acknowledging the fans to some extent. I don't know if BWD is the character they'd end up choosing, but I feel like his chances are better than any of the remaining third-parties.

Trailer idea:

It's K.Rool/Banjo's trailer but the three Kirby characters are in Kirby's little hut and they use Piranha Plant as the fakeout

The way I'm seeing it, the characters are becoming less of what you wouldn't expect, and more of ground-breaking fan-favorites.
In fact, all of them are ground-breaking, but they're essentially characters that are still highly requested by fans.
Joker came completely out of left-field, so it was hard to tell at first if the general scale of DLC would follow suit, being unexpected, yet popular and well-known characters.
I wouldn't exactly consider Banjo or even Dragon Quest to be completely out of left field, as Banjo-Kazooie and Erdrick (Hero) were already highly requested characters perhaps in the West and Japan respectively.

So, what does this mean for Bandana Boi?

Well, if I'm being pessimistic, it means absolutely nothing. Banjo and Hero aren't existing Spirits, and they're from franchises that haven't been represented in Smash yet, and since Ultimate is literally the Ultimate Fighting Game crossover, this might be the case for all of the characters in the pass.

If I'm being optimistic, this means that the characters might not be of the leftist-field picks anymore, which means that popular, fan-favorite characters are more feasible than one would originally think.

With that being said, I'm still mostly leaning towards all of the characters being from different franchises that haven't been represented in Smash yet.
(Hence the "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate X "Insert Franchise") trend that has been going on.

However, I feel that there could be a Second Pass. But, that pass would feature characters from existing or lesser-popular franchises in Smash or not. This means that at the bare minimum, we'd get new characters and nothing much else (unless a character's franchise is new to Smash), in exchange for less development time needed and the pass being sold at a lower price. If those characters are based purely on popularity, then I feel that Bandana Dee would be all but confirmed at that point.

So, yeah.
At this point, we'll just have to keep on waiting though.

I've been thinking of making a Mii Swordfighter based on BWD, but I'm not sure how it would look. Moveset would be: Blurring Blade (reference to Star Allies), Gale Stab (reference to new move BWD gets in Star Allies, the slide one), Stone Scabbard (Kinda makes sense for a spear user really) and Power Thrust (...eh, I might change this one or the side B...maybe use Chakram for side b and a makeshift "spear" throw?). No idea what outfit he would wear though.

Personally I use Hero Spin for the Up B (kinda resembles Waddle Copter)

Also can I be on the supporter's list? :D Modern Kirby really needs some love in Smash and Bandee is my most wanted newcomer

I didn't know how much I had been missing out on life until now. It's like my entire life has been leading to this very moment.

I imagine Dee would be hella scared to be on a mech. That would only make it more adorable.

The little Waddle Walker from Robobot? Even if it's not, I like to think it's an homage.

Also kinda bummed that the want for Bandana Dee dropped about 20%. Ah well, I still find him likely next game even if he's not DLC.

People like to root for a winner, and it's pretty hard to see us as a winner right now. They'll come back around, when the time comes.

Also I haven't played Robobot and I'm just finding out that Dee got a walker and this is just the best.

Yeah, I guess people do tend to back a winner, though I myself tend to prefer the underdog.
...
Uh, not that I find Bandana Dee an underdog or anything. I... uh... well that came out wrong. :p

As for the Waddle Walker, I think it'd make for a good hack in Sonic Adventure 2 over Tails or Eggman. Who wouldn't want to play the game as a Waddle Dee? :laugh:

Deelet this (but seriously though great job!)

Also shameless self plugg for my own Bandana Mii (3Q9JL4SN)

Given the Smash team's neglect of modern Kirby I'm honestly more worried about him than any other of my most wanteds (hell, even Geno).

I usually make the nose big enough to fit...behind? (In front? on the same layer?) as the eyes so that they don't appear at all, but this is pretty nice!

Wait how do you do that without making the eyes really close together?

That's the downfall. It works best with certain eye types, since that nose option isn't wide enough to go past a wide face.
