He's also next in line for opposition. There's been a significant increase in BD hate all over the place. Just came from Twitter, and saw a tweet where some guy went off on video about how Bandana Dee is "just some stupid grunt" and how we all need to "be grateful for what we have".
It's laughable, really. If they truly believed BD to be insignificant, they wouldn't even bother detracting.
Just goes to show how much they see him as competition, which really just means how much THEY know about Bandana Dee's relevance. We're not ungrateful, we just look forward to seeing a character in the game. Sakurai has impressed all of us, and we're grateful for what he's done with Smash. But it's obvious that he has a lot more in store for us, and it's fun to speculate.
Honestly, though, it just baffles me how utterly stupid people can be. Trampling on other people's hopes for a character, reusing the same argument over and over, ignoring the solid reasons for his inclusion-- it's insane. And the goomba argument only comes from those who have rarely or never touched a Kirby game in their lives. It's sad.
But people like that don't anger me. They're really not even worth time anymore. All we have to do is wait...
