Bandana Dee, the Spear Master! (v(- ' ' -)>↑ ~ Dee wait is killing us...

[Starphoenix]

Ah, ok. Personally, I feel it should have to be charged ala Diddy's Rocketbarrel Boost, but that's just me.

Also: should he have multiple air jumps? And if so, how many should he have?

Considering all of the other characters have multiple air jumps, and he has that ability in KRTDL, then I would think he'd have the same.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Other question about your moveset: would/should charging spear lob incrase the number of spears thrown? If it did, it would be more accurate to the game, though I'm not sure how balanced it would be. Same with having to charge the spear copter.

 

[kisamefishfries]

Waddle Dee sounds kind of like Krystal. Fourth character to a series that doesn't really need it but that's okay because he flails a stick around?

The Similarities are Striking.

The difference? It's elementary my dear Oasis, Star fox is not a popular series over all, its found fans now but nowhere near Nintendos top franchises. Kirby is a lovable character that has more games then you can count. Next to Mario Kirby is the next producer in game titles. And all of Kirby's adventures aren't spin offs. In that respect he probably comes pretty close to the plumber. How many Mario based or originated characters has mario produced?
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Wario, Yoshi. Thats 6. And as of SSB4 most likely 7. Kirby has 3 reps and a huge game base. I think they deserve a 4th rep seeing how Zelda has had 4 for two games already. Now does that mean we should hop on Bandana Dee? Not necessarily and while there is a solid arguement he isn't apparent he was playable in RTDL, and has made appearances I believe as one of Metaknight's top Dees in almost every game. So hes most likely your next best choice. Also remember the waddle dee from Crystal Shards? Hes not uncommon for a playable character.

Nice use of spaces -.-
What I meant was the majority of mario games are spin offs. I don't mean Kirby doesn't have any... Examine the amount of legitimate mario games we get to Kirby games we get. Especially on handhelds. Also I could argue kirby's epic yarn was not a spin off. Neither is mass attack if anyone was thinking that. Heres a list of non spin off mario games in the last 5 years: Super Mario 3DLand, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros Wii, super mario bros all stars 25th anniversary edition.... so that would be 4, a remake and also 2 more are being released this year. Here are all the spin offs in 5 years I will be abbreviating these. Mario Tennis Open, Mario Party 9, Mario Kart 7, MS London 2012, Fortune Street, Mario Sports Mix, Mario vs. DK mini-land mayhem, MS Olympic Winter Games, Mario & Luigi BIS, Mario Power Tennis (new play control), Mario Super Sluggers, Mario Kart wii, Dr Mario express, Dr Mario online RX, MS Olympic Games, Mario Party DS, Itadka Street DS, Mario Strikers Charged, Mario Party 8, super paper mario. Thats 20.... isn't that just gross? a 5:1 ratio of actual games to spin offs?

Yes. I'm pretty sure I put that in my brief moveset concept.

Ah, okay. Didn't catch that, only saw the part about the spears traveling farther. My bad.

Your moveset is excellent, btw.

 

[GamerGuy09]

Nice to see a thread for this since I was actually one of the people who contributed to Smash Flash 2 expansions and made a bandana waddle dee. It was on one of the very old sites and it got erased even though I got positive feedback. I love all of the points you make aswell. GO THE BANDANA DEE ARMY!

 

[SmasherMaster]

Side special should be wear he rides a pig like how other Waddle Dee do in R2DL

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Bandana Dee doesn't need a pig. Know why? Because SPEARCOPTER, that's why!

Though maybe that could be his intro.

 

[SmasherMaster]

I meant in replacement of the parasol. Or have him ride a Wheelie.

 

[Frostwraith]

if there's a 4th representant of the Kirby series, Bandana Waddle Dee is the best choice, since he has begun to appear alongside the other 3 characters already in Brawl as a playable character.

not that I really support him, but he's a viable choice.

 

[8-peacock-8]

As long as bandana Dee has a sailor hat as an alt costume, i don't care what the moveset is. Sailor Dee>>>>All

 

[Kirbunny431]

Bandanna Dee has my full support. He was playable in Return to Dreamland and managed to get into the Kirby's Dream Collection trailer. Having him would also be the best way to represent the most common enemies in the Kirby series, the good ol' Waddle Dee. Although I think he's a tad unlikely, I could potentially see him as a surprise rep. And I would be overjoyed if that happened.

 

[Opossum]

I'd love to see Bandanna Dee. I actually just finished KRtD 100% (albeit with Tornado Kirby in True Arena [and people say Spark's broken...]) and tried out Bandanna Dee. I gotta say, I like what he can offer. I don't find him the most likely, due to Sakurai not wanting to overrep his own stuff, but he's the best bet for a Kirby character in my opinion.

 

[SmasherMaster]

Bandana Dee works. His main roles are games that Sakurai did not work in. Such as Kirby Return To Dreamland.

 

[Youngster Joey]

is bandana dee in anything besides return to dream land? i feel like he should just be another thing to throw for DDD. i dont think he has enough potential as a full out character

 

[Robert of Normandy]

He originally made a small appearance in Kirby Super Star(in Megaton Punch), was DeDeDe's sidekick/lackey in Revenge of the King(KSSU), and I believe also had a cameo in Mass Attack.

 

[LosTimeTurner]

Id really like to see him in ssb4 but he will have a hard time getting there with all the other series

 

[LosTimeTurner]

i want his side B to to be he rides a piggy

 

[Mirron]

Suddenly bumped up from the depths, but glad to see it. I really support Bandana Dee in this game. He's just an adorable Kirby rep, I love Waddle Dee's in general, and his moveset would complete the Fire Emblem weapon triangle before Fire Emblem itself does, which amuses me. I think he has a lot of potential, and I hope he and Magolor continue to appear in the future.

 

[Rukifellth]

Hmm... I dunno, I think Dee would work better as an alternate costume for Kirby than a fully fledged character. I'd rather see someone expected, YET well known like Adeleine who the developers can get REALLY creative with, since she uses her brush to create things. Technically, she'd be a foil to Olimar, but perhaps she would have less control over her creations unlike Olimar. And unlike Kirby and DeDeDe, she would be a middle weight character. That and I know I was a bit flustered over not seeing her in Return to Dreamland, since the whole gang from Kirby64 was there, EXCEPT Adeleine. blah...

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Hmm... I dunno, I think Dee would work better as an alternate costume for Kirby than a fully fledged character.

I wouldn't. Character or bust for Bandana Dee.

 

[Ove]

I support Bandana Dee. The playable Waddle Dee in Kirby 64 is one of my favourite characters, all time.

I'd rather see Adeline though...

 

[FalKoopa]

If he gets in, the weapon triangle will be completed in Kirby series before Fire Emblem.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Supporter of Bandanna Dee here!The Kirby Core 4 should be completed in any means as necessary and we need Bandanna for that as we might know.

Might even do a signature for you guys.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Might even do a signature for you guys.

If you did that, it would be awesome.

 

[Starcutter]

there's a thread for this? how convenient! I support bandana dee thoroughly.

BANDANA DEE FTW

I'm not looking to simply expand this list, but to add any characters that fit one of those THREE categories. Unless you have a personal fave, then I'll add them

That seems about right. maybe add knuckle Joe, since sakuri DID think about putting him in at one point.

 

[Shorts]

Added him as well!

Don't let Ove see that list until you've added Adeliene.

But yeah, that just about covers everyone.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

I support Waddle Dee, but not because of RtD alone. Being the fourth playable character option in only one game isn't a great résumé. I support him because a playable and/or allied Waddle Dee is a pretty prominent feature and character in several Kirby games. Kirby 64 and RtD featured a Waddle Dee allied with Kirby, Canvas Curse and RtD featured a playable Waddle Dee, and the same Waddle Dee from RtD plays a minor plot role in Kirby Super Star Ultra. Waddle Dees are also among the most well-known, recognizable Nintendo enemies; what Return to Dreamland really did for them was give them a face (which other mooks like Goomba lack). So when I support the bandanna-wearing Waddle Dee, it's because I'm supporting a representative of the species and the recurring allied/playable Waddle Dees in the Kirby series.

 

[Shorts]

Ya know, I might as well add her.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So. I just completed Kirby's Return to Dreamland for the first time.

It was a great game but I fell in love with one particular warrior. Bandana Dee is amazing. I hope we see more of him!

I doubt Kirby will get four characters but if it did, Bandana Dee should definitely be the 4th character.

I think a key point of discussion we're all forgetting here is that this character you're pining for being in a video game about nintendo all-stars is indeed called Bandanna Dee and is a waddle dee wearing a bandanna

Oh. Wait. You're joking with your questionable sense of humor.

Thing is. Bandana Dee actually does stuff. He's been pretty important in every game he's appeared in.
