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

[Jiggly]

Now it's July 3rd... No one's birthday...

 

[StormC]

Triple deluxe' official site referred to him as bandana dee, although I'm pretty sure he's only referred to as bandana waddle dee in game.
I don't have a problem with him being called by his full name in smash, the community would just call him bandana dee anyways.

Huh, so it does. Cool.

And yeah, he'd just be called Bandana Dee and BDee by fans, or even BWD. As long as he isn't just Waddle Dee in the game.

 

[Chalo5000]

He was called Bandana Waddle Dee and Bandana Dee in the Kirby Triple Deluxe website
They still have full knowledge of the fan name
He'll probably be called Bandana Waddle Dee at least on the American versions

Fan Nickname
Ascended Fanon

Wait a minute...
What is that suspicious looking shading next to Pichu! I doubt that is just a mere camera issue! Not only that, but the ground is so dull and textureless! Lastly, Pichu's mouth is position weirdly!
I say that this leak...
*desk slams*
is an elaborate fake!

 

[GhostlyLure]

LOL it's been confirmed fake since yesterday

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

I want to believe the Ice Climbers part. Not the Pichu.

 

[Zerp]

I don't get why everyone hated Pichu, but wanted Roy back, they are literally in exactly the same boat in Melee, one's crappy Marth, the other's crappy Pikachu. Don't really understand why one's hated and the other loved. I'd hope the Leak's real, but it looks fake, the models for Popo and Nana aren't exactly that new looking, and Pichu's looks like a slightly polished Melee port, more likely than not it's just someone skilled at Photoshop.

So, did anyone datamine the patch yet? I feel oddly optimistic about the files getting leaked again, even though it's completely unrealistic. Here's hoping for Bandana Dee confirmation today!

 

[Chandeelure]

The leak is fake
Pichu > Ice Climbers
Nothing new in the patch

I wasn't a Roy supporter so I can't speak for that, but it's hard for me to want a character whose entire schtick is "Pikachu but worse and does damage to itself."

 

[Chandeelure]

You can techinically said that about all the clones in Melee except Falco and maybe Young Link (because he is as bad as Link).
Roy: Marth but worse and doesn't have a tipper.
Ganondorf: Captain Falcon but worse and doesn't have the knee.

This case is really weird because the clone is much better than the original.
Mario: Dr. Mario but worse and without power. (In Melee, Dr.Mario is as fast as Mario).

Yeah, whatever, if Pichu comes back I would be happy, and obviously, if he comes back he will not be a joke character anymore.
This is off-topic.

 

[swordofacorn]

I didn't want Roy back but I'm really glad with how he was executed is smash 4, I assume if pichu returns he will get a mayor overhaul.
P.S. Ice climbers > pichu for me.

 

[GhostlyLure]

I'm just...done with veterans TBH besides I don't think this game needs anymore Pokemon

 

[Chandeelure]

Do you think Bandana Dee would have a weird (and unnecessary hehehe) mechanic like most of the Smash 4 newcomers?
Maybe, if he throws his spear, he can't use it for some time, but the Spear Throw would be really powerful... I don't know.

Maybe if you take too much damage the spear would break and you couldn't use for some time.

Do we really need to give up on the Bandana Ballot wordpress

this is actually good.

Megaton punch could be like Mac's Ko Punch, you know charge it up and stuff, before you unleash your giant super move.

Also, if we ever continue the Waddle Week stuff, again, I will be more than happy to fill in when the other writers have other things to do. That includes this week, I'll write up this entire week, since we haven't got it yet, then continue for as long as you all deem necessary or want.

The mechanics aren't unnecessary imo, and for bandana dee I don't think he will have one since most of the mechanics come from the games the characters come from and I can't really think of a Kirby mechanic that isn't is smash (maybe someone else can)

 

[Furret24]

Aren't there enough newcomers that have gimmicks? Just make Bandana Dee use his Spear, Parasol, and physical capabilities for a varied moveset. There is no need for him to have a KO punch, breaking spear, or anything of the like.

P.S. Pichu > Ice Climbers (By a long shot too)

You could make a completely original moveset with just his spear. You don't need the Parasol.

P.S. a Pokemon that is worse than Pikachu and hurts himself whenever he does a move is not better than Ice Climbers.

I don't know, @ FalKoopa , what do you think?

To be perfectly honest, I DO want to keep updating the site with new material.

If we aren't going to go by the weekly pattern, just give me whatever (any propaganda you make, any Miiverse drawings you draw, any article you write, any conspiracy theories you make) and I'll include them. It did take some effort to get it up and running, so I don't want to give up on it.

True, but I feel that a moveset with just his spear would make him play a little to much like one of the swordfighters. A little variety with something other Waddles Dees use would make him a little more unique.

P.S. Just my opinion. Never really liked the Ice Climbers, prefer Pichu personally.

I feel like Megaton Punch is best as his Final Smash.

Well no, he wouldn't just poke and slash at things. You can use the spear as a sort of staff too. I personally like the idea of Bandana Dee twirling his staff above him for an Up B.

OK guys, did you read?
Everytime you make or found a cool Bandana Dee drawing/picture, post it here.

I want to get Art Academy so I can actually somewhat learn how to draw so I can make pictures of Smash Bros characters. Although Bandana Dee probably isn't that hard to draw.

Spinning his spear as an Up Special would be cool, but there's only so much you can do with a spear.

Remember Parasol Waddle from Kirby Super Star/Ultra? Bandana Dee could use some of those moves as aerials, throws, etc.
See Parasol Waddle Dee in action below!

Does anyone miss the artstyles of the older games. Triple Deluxe looks cool but I like the artstyle of the DS era games more.

 

[StormC]

Oh, can I be added to the support list? I've warmed up to the character recently.

I might've believed it if it was just the Ice Climbers, but Pichu? There's no way it's real.

 

[GhostlyLure]

So you miss sprites....


I miss them too, I think it's because my 3rd game ever was Kirby Super Star Ultra

my first was a game called Lady Sia and the other was Super Mario World.

But time has advanced and 3D models are the new thing...unfortunate but true.

Considering how were in 2015, I think the time for sprites has passed, except for maybe Mega Man. I like my modern games modern.

 

[StormC]

Games like Shake It are proof that sprites can look incredible and beautiful on more modern systems.

 

[MarioMeteor]

And games like pretty much every game that's been released in the past decade are proof that 3D models work. Technology is moving forward, not back. Unless it's the series' defining characteristic, again, like Mega Man, it's not going to use sprites over 3D models.

You can't really say "Sprites has passed" and then say "except a series" because then it hasn't passed XD + Shovel Knight.

Wouldn't Mega Man look better and more defined in 3D?

We said we like sprites not that we should go back to them geez stop trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.

So you say you like sprites, then you say Mega Man would look better in 3D. Pick a side.

People enjoy, or even prefer, the visual style of sprites and that's perfectly valid. Just because one might be more technologically impressive doesn't necessarily mean it's better. It's like saying 2D animation should just stop entirely because of 3D animation.
