interesting to seeApparently the Smash community on that French site Jeuxvideo held an unofficial Smash ballot.
Bandana Dee did pretty well for himself, he placed in the top 10 and was the 4th highest scoring first party character.
Huh. Isaac is Vlad en français. Comme c'est intéressant!Apparently the Smash community on that French site Jeuxvideo held an unofficial Smash ballot.

A lot of those people actually consider Goombario more deserving of a slot in a Smash roster than Bandanna Waddle Dee. Yes, I'm serious. Some jackass actually made this:If this was already mentioned in this thread, then apologies to whoever said it first.
You know how there are people out there who use the statement of "he's just a Goomba with a hat" against Bandanna Waddle Dee?
I already know a lot of what makes this statement not the most logical one out there. I just wanted to share one additional point that goes against this claim that I don't really see brought up a whole lot.
Meanwhile Goombella gets ignored, even though she's more interesting than Mario's #1 fan.If this was already mentioned in this thread, then apologies to whoever said it first.

Oh believe me, I don't have anything against Goombella. I just though Goombario fit the bill of "Goomba with a hat" better since, well, he actually wears a traditional hat. Goombella's is more of a Captain Toad style headlamp but hey, more things to go against the dumb "Goomba with a hat" claims for Bandanna Dee are welcome in my book.Meanwhile Goombella gets ignored, even though she's more interesting than Mario's #1 fan.

I hope this guy's wanting Dee to be an Isabelle-style fighter and not an echo.He could be in. He's wanted especially in Japan and he would be easy to make.
Awesome to see Skull Kid and Bandana Dee still performing well. Let's hope for continued support and a Smash Bros inclusion for both!Apparently the Smash community on that French site Jeuxvideo held an unofficial Smash ballot.

Woah, where'd you get that again?He is that BWD figure I talked about a few days ago. Finally my phone is posting pictures on here lol.
I got it from eBay!Woah, where'd you get that again?
Thing is, whether Deetractors have played Paper Mario or not, the majority of them don't know Bandana Dee at all. And honestly, the ones who do know Goombario probably assume Bandana Dee is roughly identical because both of them have blue headgear. In the end, I don't think Goombario is really relevant at all when it comes to Bandana Dee, as the only real similarity is that they're both allies who wear blue headgear. Their personalities, roles, and abilities are entirely different, not even getting into how, as stated, Bandana Dee is the fourth main character of Kirby's franchise these days, whereas Goombario remains limited to one game, possibly two if one counts his cameo in Super Paper Mario.If this was already mentioned in this thread, then apologies to whoever said it first.

As a rival to Toadette? I can see it...actually I need that.Speaking of Captain Toad, playable Goombella in Treasure Tracker 2 please.
I'm not sure if people are sleeping on Bandana Dee (he's in the top ten in multiple character polls), but people who aren't that familiar with Kirby games or meme-mongers like to disparage our Dream Friend Ally. But as the proverb goes: "Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate. Fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake. Me? I'm gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. Shake it off. [And continue supporting Bandana Dee for Smash]"Seriously, it's insane how many people are sleepin' on this character.
That poll isn't really worth paying attention to. It's been ripe with botting since the start and the dude running it deletes votes en mass if he has a feeling that there's a bot. The creator even admitted that the results were basically nonsense.Bandana Dee is up again in the loser's side of Reddit's newcomer tournament.
Here's a direct link to their new site. He's up against Lloyd Irving today.
He specifically hosted recounts for votes that were botted, and only subtracted votes that were publicly streamed being botted. The guy went through the effort of creating a site specifically dedicated to keeping this poll as bot-proof as possible, so it's pretty weak of you to try and imply that his poll is fraudulent.That poll isn't really worth paying attention to.

Right. At the end of the day, it's all a fan poll that's set up for good sportsmanship. It doesn't have any bearing on the game, but it's a way to get the community involved.He specifically hosted recounts for votes that were botted, and only subtracted votes that were publicly streamed being botted. The guy went through the effort of creating a site specifically dedicated to keeping this poll as bot-proof as possible, so it's pretty weak of you to try and imply that his poll is fraudulent.
Unless you're the rabid Bandana Dee fan that literally created a dozen alt accounts to try and make it seem like the OP collaborating with the botters, the very same that PM'd me this because I pointed out that someone was botting for Bandana Dee. I understand being salty that Bandana Dee lost to Isaac, but stuff like this just makes the Bandana Dee supporters look bad, and it hurts Bandana Dee more than it helps.

EXCELLENTAlright, we got a Pokemon song on the blog tonight. I think that means we don't have to worry about the music theory detracting from Dee's chances anymore.
That's pretty good, I was getting tired of people counting him out all of a sudden.
I'm glad my Bandana boi still has a chance.Alright, we got a Pokemon song on the blog tonight. I think that means we don't have to worry about the music theory detracting from Dee's chances anymore.

The poll isn't actually real anyways. It's been established by the creator that none of the numbers are accurate. And lets be real Dee losing that matchup shows that it's nonsense. Just rubber band bias cause he won so hard the first round.Well fought - it was really damn close. I think Dee had some bad bracket luck getting matched up against Isaac that early.
You're starting to sound more and more like the troll that created 10 alts to try and discredit the poll's host, but I'll quote myself again:The poll isn't actually real anyways.

You seem very eager to discredit this poll, but as far as I can see, this poll is more secure than most, if anything.He specifically hosted recounts for votes that were botted, and only subtracted votes that were publicly streamed being botted.

You only hurt yourself when you fly into a rage and accuse anyone that points out facts as all being the same person. The way you're so personally invested in this really makes you look suspicious. Calm down.You're starting to sound more and more like the troll that created 10 alts to try and discredit the poll's host, but I'll quote myself again:
I haven't flown into any rage, but you operate in much the same way as the Bandana Dee troll that was banned from /r/smashbros - you try to paint the person you disagree with as hysterical, you try to imply that they are the ones behaving inappropriately, and you repeatedly make unfounded claims without backing them up when pressed. It also doesn't help that your posting history shares some similarities with that of the troll in question.You only hurt yourself when you fly into a rage and accuse anyone that points out facts as all being the same person.

Source?The dude admitted that the numbers were nonsense. Full stop.
I really don't care about Bandana Dee - he doesn't exactly excite me as a character, but I don't detest him either. I've defended him and his fanbase on a number of occasions, and have even posted in this very thread to talk and ask about him. I've even said that he's one of the most likely characters to be included on several occasions. You have no basis on which to make your claim.You seem to have a burning hatred at Bandana Dee being a top character among fans but using a fake, imaginary poll to discredit him is just obsessive.
This poll was hosted on Google Forms, one of the most vulnerable platforms for this sort of thing, and one of the very same platforms that the Bandana Dee botter streamed himself botting. The sample size was far smaller as well, and unlike the bracket poll, the one you linked did not scan for fraudulent votes.Here's a real poll actually hosted by the mods. This is the only one that can be considered accurate.

See how easy that was? Now chill.
That is literally the comment in which he announced that those results were voided. He's not talking about any results that were used, he's talking about the poll that was redone on a more secure website because someone streamed themselves botting for Bandana Dee. He very specifically created a new and secure website to specifically make sure that his results are trustworthy. You can't discredit secured poll results on the basis that unsecured poll results were thrown out. If anything, the fact that they were recognized as untrustworthy is evidence of competence and vigilance.View attachment 166694
There you have it. In the most IDEAL situation the results are dubious at best. It was so messy and inaccurate that he considers the poll to be cancel-worthy. What else is there to say? If the creator admits that the results are muddled and questionable then it no longer represents the people.
In the end it simply means it's not real/accurate. Thus it can be entirely ignored.
You don't consider someone literally streaming themselves using a bot to give Bandana Dee hundreds of votes on the very same polling platform evidence that something might be wrong? The tournament OP threw the unsecured results out and repeated the poll on a secure site - the mods didn't.The one hosted by the mods is official. There is no evidence to suggest anything went wrong.
Find one of the hat goomba posts in the sub. I'm sure you'll find one if you dig around. The point is I can point figures and screech tin foil hat conspiracies about how everyone who I disagree with is one dude.What Anti-Bandana Dee troll?
