Kirby and Meta Knight aren't really a pair like Dedede and BD. I mean, it is the king and his subject.

King Dedede and Meta Knight :troll:


Or are we shipping pairing Kirby with Meta Knight so that King Dedede can be with Bandana Dee?
.....Are you implying yaoi?
But isn't Meta Knight, King Dedede's Faithful servant as well? :troll:

I just have one question. In honest opinion, which is better? Meta Knight's USA fanfare, which is epic trumpets to show his awesomeness, or the japanese lalalalalala.....la...la thing?

I wasn't thinking of that. I was thinking of the much more silly route. :bubblebobble:

Though you can think of it that way if you want. :shiro:



Edit: I apologize in advance for being such a spaz. I haven't slept in 2 days for many many reasons. The monday character reveal didn't help with that either.

NO! HECK NO! I was just asking since that's what I usually see around fanfiction. You seriously have no idea how many people just love to destroy their great stories with out of place yaoi all the time.

I have seen way too many yaoi stories that are just so wrong.....*shudders*
You left the word "shipping" in there, and I've been on fanfiction. A lot. REALLY bad combo for the sanity of someone like myself.

Well love is on people's minds a lot. Hell, why do you think there's soo many friggin songs about love? It's one of the many reasons why I generally don't care to listen lyrics when I want to listen to music.

I do wonder where you are reading these stories for them to get "ruined" with these stories though. Then again I never look at fanfictions (or story books in general) because I'd rather just imagine my own story in my head.
Heck you should write some fanfiction. Just don't ask me to read it. :bubblebobble:



To have something related to Bandana Dee:
Since the tomes have limited uses, do you think Bandana Dee's throwing spears will have something similar, or have durability of some sort?
Personally I don't think they'd do that, but it's just a thought.

It would be somewhat similar to sora's side special in super smash flash 2. It would be throwable whenever, but Dee wouldn't be able to move while it flies. It disappears after collision, or depending on fly time. In "Return To Dreamland", Dee could charge up the throwing move, and have it throw three spears at the same time, widening its range. It would be nice as an edge guard, and could follow into combos.

Guess that means that secret characters will be a thing of the past. But we'll (hopefully) know if BD made the cut soon!

Well it says on it that the last time they said they had the full roster for brawl they had the full roster minus the hidden characters! So even if BD isn't on the list they bring out theres still a chance that he will be there as a hidden character

That CoroCoro news is pretty interesting. Most of the time I've only seen/heard them reveal things for Pokemon, but, either way.

It doesn't seem like Sakurai would want them to reveal the entire roster like that, though. For all we know they could just be showing the currently revealed characters, but we can already do that by going on the website, so..

Anyways, if BWD isn't on the roster, MAKE SURE to check the stages as well in the sake that he could be a stage hazard for an unannounced Kirby stage. I doubt it, but there's always that one chance. If he doesn't show up on either the roster nor stages, there's two things that could have happened.
1. He's part of King Dedede's Final Smash.
2. He's a secret character just like with what happened in Brawl's CoroCoro reveal.

So, who knows? We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Aren't we still waiting for Wario to be revealed some time this week to prove the validity of a Gematsu leak? Or was that last week?

I believe it was last week. Still no Wario.

Still, next month will be interesting. They'll have to get the hype train ready for September!

I think Bandana Dee will probably be DLC, along with Captain Toad, Wolf, Snake, and Rayman, and King K. Rool/Dixie/Shulk/RH Rep depending on the main roster.

Raymans possible for the next smash i think, i doubt they'd let a smash happen where its possible to have 4 not nintendo characters fighting on screen.

But i do agree with the rest and bandana has a good shot at being dlc, though i do believe he will be in the original roster now that fire emblem has 4 reps

I'm pretty sure Wolf will be a hidden character, and Shulk too... also i don't think we will get Rayman (not even as a DLC)
I'm pretty sure Sakurai is gonna balance the series this time, with DK, Metroid, KI, Starfox, and Earthbound each getting 2. Very balanced, very professonial. Falco has the Melee advantage over Wolf. Rayman got a trophy, and that's big. Based on Rayman getting a trophy we can safely assume Snake will probably get one too. As such, these are two third party characters who have likelihood over the others.

Well i'm pretty sure Falco is in... but also Wolf, and well... right now trophies have been using as a way to deconfirm characters, so i'm pretty sure that, that means that we aren't getting Rayman (but i agree, that if we don't get Snake as a playable character we will at least get a trophy for him)

I think some people also forget that fighters have trophies too. Just saying, that anyone of the "deconfirmed" could always be DLC.

some of these plus inkling and bayoneta is what i hope for.
I doubt Inkling mainly because of he's WAY TOO recent, and his game's not even done yet.
as for Bayonette, dear heavens I hope not. Third Parties that need to get in before her include Simon Belmont, a SE rep, Bomberman, Professor Layton, and of course, Rayman. Bayonetta will probably get a trophy as well though.

Just wondering, has DLC ever been brought up by Sakurai/Nintendo OFFICIALLY for Smash in particular? I haven't heard anything of the sort for it. Granted, Mario Kart 8 has the Mercedes-Benz thing but that's a different game.

I believe one thing said was that the Captain Toad amiibo works with Smash... which leaves much room for speculation.

Toon Link says hello.
One day before Brawl's release, we got Toon Link (in Outset Island Costume) as a Trophy Appearance, then it turns out he's actually playable, but a Hidden Character.

Toon Link isn't as big of a reveal as someone like Ray Man. Having him just appear as a trophy like that and then say "Oh, well, he's a character too" would just kill off the hype IMO.

But I don't think we'll get anymore 3rd Party characters unless Snake is returning. We've pretty much reached the brim with Pac-Man, and he's only in because of Namco-Bandai working on the game.

Have you lot all forgotten that the last time Corocoro did this, they kept 4 Newcomers secret? They will probably do that again
inb4 they're Ridley, King K. Rool, Bandana Dee and Shulk.
That'll arouse some people.

dont quote me on this but i heard he said he hadnt considered it yet since he wanted to focus on the main game for now. I forgot where i heard this and i dunno what the source even was so this could be wrong

I'm pretty sure that was in the original gematsu leak...

But why wouldn't bandanna Dee be in the game? Think about it. If FE has 4 reps, then I figure Kirby deserves 4 as well. Who would be the best? Well, your choices are knuckle joe (confirmed assist), magolor (doesn't bring anything interesting to the table in his moveset), and bandanna waddle Dee. Waddle Dee is a quirky, strange, new, innovative character! JUST WHAT SAKURAI LOVES!

Tbh, I am super confident he will be in. And I'm pretty damn excited if my hunch is correct.

Bandana Waddle Dee definitely has the biggest role out of them all. Like you said, Knuckle Joe is an Assist Trophy, and Magolor is most likely not going to appear in another Kirby game aside from cameos because he'll just be replaced by another Taranza or something like that. So he definitely doesn't have much competition for a new Kirby rep, especially when you compare it to FE's numerous character spots and how Robin took Chrom's spot.

While I love your positive words, I tend to dislike things that are seem rather incorrect.

Magolor not bringing anything new to the table? He's a blank slate mage character, those two things together makes it so they can do whatever the heck they want with his moveset. I highly doubt that he wouldn't bring anything to the table. I haven't looked at his appearances after Return to dreamland much so I don't know if he has any moves. Even then, Smash isn't afraid of creating entirely new moves for characters that already have more than enough moves to pull from.
Of course, I'm still hoping that someday in the future Magolor will be playable like Meta Knight (and Kind Dedede) did. Gotta wait for the next multiplayer Kirby beat-em-up.

As for Bandana Dee. Quirky how? Strange, I don't see how. Unless carrying a Spear + Bandana and/or Being a waddle dee and/or serving King Dedede is strange. Of course he's new, any character being added would be new, unless you're talking about him being a representative of the newer Kirbys (which he is the best candidate for imo). Innovative surely, I'd like to have a long-range poking character, that can also throw spears, all the swordsmen currently do have a lot of range, but they also almost always slash so they can get things above them too.

While Bandana Dee is clearly a better pick for the Kirby 4th slot because he's more important now, Magolor does have enough reasons to give Bandana Dee something to worry about. Afterall, Rosalina got in before Bowser Jr, and she's only been in the Super Mario Galaxy games and cameos, whereas Bowser Jr. is a recurring boss in many more games.

Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, Bandana Dee and Marx?
I'd be fine with that.
...Did anyone make a Marx Support thread?

In the dream anniversary Magalor does stuff, but BDee is much more likely

Magolor as a pure mage character would be cool even if Robin nudged into his territory since they can use dark magic. But the only thing that Magolor has over Bandana Dee is popularity within the Kirby fanbase. Bandana Dee has popularity, getting pushed by HAL (like Rosalina with Nintendo) and wholly unique moveset potential since we already have characters who use magic.
Magolor could easily be the fifth Kirby rep though.

I'm starting to wonder about Marx now. Magolor is pretty much a summary of previous bosses in Kirby, but with a little more influence from Marx, because well, Marx is the only one where he has a story other than "TAKE OVER THE WORLD", and because Kirby Superstar was one of the favorites of the Kirby franchise.

Now I dont know enough about the more recent kirbys so I'm not sure how big of cameos Magolor is making in comparison to Marx. I'm a little worried that Marx will be phased out a bit overtime with his cameos.

It would be awesome if we could have both. Afterall, they are such different characters that they don't clash with each other's themes. Theme-wise I like Magolor more, Though, I have an easier time imagining that I'd main Bandana Dee because of his long-range, quick poking melee attacks. I'd just have to play them to know if they both got in the game.

What about a king's minion, wielding a spear, and reaching the utilization of kirby, isnt quirky? each little passing waddle dee has been nothing but a cookie in all the past kirby games. For one to pick up a spear, and be able to hold is own, is quite strange. Do you see any koopas with a sword, being able to fight? Any viable top-percentage ratatta? BANDANA DEE CAN TWIRL HIS SPEAR FAST ENOUGH TO FLY LIKE A HELICOPTER!!! Badass, and quirky.
