Evening Bandana Dee supporters. Just thought I would throw my support out for the cutest little spear user around. I was lucky enough to get my number one most wanted pick in the latest direct. If the next one was to reveal Bandanna Dee and Dixie Kong as an echo, I would literally have every character I really care about in smash bros.
I would really appreciate Bandanna Dee getting in for the simple fact that it would be kind of interesting to have a kirby character that doesnt have multiple jumps ((which bandanna dee can only really do in game because he needs to be able to traverse the same levels as the othe three members of his crew.)). The trade off being that he would hopefully have much better air speed then the other three Kirby reps, who generally dont travel through the air that fast likely as a balance for their multi jumps.
A small character wielding a weapon with such long range, really would help the little guy stand out. While there are plenty of popular kirby characters among kirby fans, most really only show up in a single game and really dont have enough use to be considered a staple character of the series. Adding someone like Magalor or Marx would of been akin to adding Lord Fredrick from Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze instead of K.Rool. No one is saying they couldnt be potentially fun and that they dont have fans, but with kirby swapping out villains every new game, its hard to really see any one of them taking this spot ((Although skull kid could potentially get in so from what we have been hearing, so maybe thats all a bunch of baloney))
Kirby's Return To Dreamland really gave Bandanna Dee his lucky break. Whether his role is playable or just someone in the background tossing items for you, you cannot deny that fact that out of all the other Kirby characters, BD has been one of few to stick.
The funny thing is the only thing going against Bandanna Dee's chances arent any of the typical "Goomba with a hat" reasons. Instead its more the fact that we may not have all that many spots for brand new new comers. If they wish to stop at 70 brand non echo new comers, that means we only have 3 slots less, 2 if pokemon gets one. Competition is gonna be tight and unless Sakurai decides to put in DLC fighters ((which may be against his idea due to the fact of wanting to have that poster of all the characters completed before the games launch)) Bandanna Dee is gonna have to fight tooth and nail for his chance to shine.
Its hard to say what will happen, but I 100% give my best regards to BD and hope you guys get a fourth kirby rep. If metroid ((and hopefully DK)) have four reps, then kirby deserves a 4th member hands down.
