Ganondorf uses a sword in two of his incarnations.

It's really not a fact. You never know. If ****ing Duck Hunt Dog can get in, I'd say Waluigi has a chance.
UH Duck Hunt is REALLY iconic and pretty much one of the representative icons oof the NES era and all light gun games at the time... how is that even comparable? Sorry I don't want to keep talking about Walugi but I'm kind of baffled by people who think Duck Hunt is an odd choice. I mean I don't play him but as a retro rep he's fantastic. Did people not have the NES power pak? x_x Maybe cause I'm 27...

You're as old as Mega Man too know that I think about it, I was born on the 10th anniversary of MM.

From one lady to another, both Kirby fans!
Awww too cute! Yay! Pals. Also I did not know that. I am honored! For some reason I never grew playing much Megaman or being that familiar or emotionally tied to his games but his games are good and have fantastic music. So I am glad to share the day :D

Exsquaz me but did he just call Bandana Dee a generic character after I used that as one of the counterarguments...
The reason people think Bandanna Dee would be generic is likely due to his simple appearance and weapon. People who think that most likely only know him by his recent appearances. You did mention that he is generic in your video, but you did not give a reasonable rebuttal to the counter argument, all you had was a quote saying he is stronger than the other Waddle Dees.

Waddle Dees have used enough weapons over the years to give Bandanna Dee a really unique move set with things like their umbrellas or ability to ride Nruffs. They've even used bombs and dandelion seeds in a few games. If you don't want people to think he is generic, you should give more examples to show the potential he has as a fighter.

Bandana Dee isn't generic because he's a growing staple and from a design perspective, particular character. The other Waddle Dee aren't made in anyway significant except that one Dee from K64... but even he's not given a visual marker, a returning role in a story with dialogue, a role in the very world of Kirby as a spear captain, and growing role in the games themselves as a character to play in multiplayer. He is a specific character. He's not an enemy or part of a group (simply of the same species).

Bandana Dee IS spear captain, works for Dedede, Pal of Kirby, playable in 2 games, has a Bandana Marking him as unique... meaning the same Waddle Dee we keep seeing with a Bandana ACROSS games is the same character. This same character is reoccurring again and again in recent games. This character is a particular member of the cast. From all that we see he's not generic. He's not just an enemy or even just a waddle dee. He is Bandana Waddle Dee who is all these things.

Yeah Im redoing that video but the point is "To Generic" <Too Generic> is a bit of an overstatement.
I thought of big responses but mu Camstasia crashed AND I didn't want to cover up the gameplay. I get the main focus is supposed to be the words but

Literally nobody asked for Duck Hunt Dog. He's pretty much the Ice Climbers of this game.

That would be Mario. DHD is a rather weird choice. Not unfitting, but weird. Nobody saw him coming, nobody asked for him, he just happened.

What do you think of it? I love Mega Man. Wouldn't mind seeing Proto Man in Smash. Also, about MM8, you're doing yourself a favor by missing it

Well, they were quiet. *Nerd glasses on* technically, Enker is a Mega Man Killer, not a Robot Master. *Nerd glasses off* My favorite RMs are Quick Man and Gemini Man.

They're the people obsessed with Dark Matter who think every Kirby boss has to be GRIMDARK and a basic eyeball design. Some folks felt that she wasn't eery enough. I think Dark Matter is cool but I would never want boss diversity and design be stunted for the series just because some fans are obsessed with Zero or something. It's how we got lame bosses like Dark Nebula. I happened to LOVE Sectonia cause she gave a different vibe as to what can be considered dangerous and looming. Her flower form against the sky was GORGEOUS and visually iconic and she was just generally an epic fight WITH great theme music. So yeah. I am a supporter.

The thing with Duck Hunt though is that he's a Retro character. Of course he's not in demand but every smash we get a retro character that older fans can appreciate and some do demand. A lot of the growing younger fans are of course not gonna rally around Duck Hunt lol. Just because the character isn't the latest buzzworthy character in demand doesn't mean retro characters will never show up when we usually get one every gen or so. We had Game and Watch, Ice Climbers, and I guess Rob. Some people thought it would be Mach Rider but we got DHD. That's cool.

False, DHD is a joke character, he didn't get a retro because Takamaru wasn't popular enough. Sakurai sometimes you anger me

Wow, I missed a lot of pages. In my defense though, I got addicted to Mother series. I tried it out because of Lucas Dlc and now I'm on Chapter 8 of Mother 3. Did I miss anything important?

Bandana Dee was confirmed as DLC, Sakurai said he was joking about Ridley but forgot about him, Mewtwo's Disable was confirmed to affect foes regardless of eye contact and Kirby Dreamland 4 was announced with Time Kirby and Gravity Kirby

As soon the as the fighter ballot was announced I went directly to the sight and voted for bandanna waddle Dee. He got hip of a trophy in the game and doesn't even appear. He deserves this spot. Also Kirby was lacking content in the game so with him in I'll be happy. #Deeforlife #VoteforDee

Some fans like to think of Dark Matter as the overarching villain of the Kirby series. There is evidence of this in bosses like Dark Mind and Dark Nebula due to their similarities to Dark Matter and Zero. Magolor, Dark Crafter and some others also stuck with the one eye motif while still looking unique. The problem with Sectonia is she completely ignores the theme. I don't mind it myself but others were likely disappointed because there was no way to link her back to Dark Matter like most of the other final bosses.

But there's no reason to get dissapointed, I don't get why people just can't get over the fact that Dark Matter is dead :/
