You guys are gonna kill me for this, but that's also not entirely true :drsad:
I mean, he was in RtDL :drifloon:

But he looked brighter in Triple Deluxe :drshrug:

But in his newest appearence (Rainbow Curse) he's darker again :drfacepalm:

He looks really cute :drohyou:
Ok, I have to say it, but I find so funny and ADORABLE the way you use the Drifloon Emotes! xD

Home... where else would I be?
Sorry I went missing, I went on vacation and had no internet. So what'd I miss?

Edit: And I heard about the new president.
Well, behind Wolf and King K. Rool, Bandana Dee is the most wanted character in Japan. This was out of the top 50 characters, fellow Kirby characters like Magolor, Adeleine, and even Galacta Knight appeared on the poll.

Bandana Dee is a videogame character, that means he will have different designs.
"Video game" is not a codeword for "Thoughtless inconsistency". ;)

The article this came from also notes that Japanese fans feel that the Kirby series is under-represented in Smash, too.

You know, That video I just saw you post reminded me, I've been meaning to ask you guys (or at the very least, anyone who has Kirby Returns to Dream Land), Is it really possible to play as Meta Knight, King Dedede, or Bandana Waddle Dee in the game's story mode by all by themselves, or does Kirby absolutely HAVE to be Player 1? I definitely don't have a problem with the latter answer, I've just been VERY curious for quite some time now.

Some parts need the Super Ability, you need to be Kirby as Player 1.

You have to be Kirby, probably because you can't 100% the game without switching copy abilities.

And yeah, Japan thinks Kirby is underrepresented in Smash, and it's true.
And not only that, it's also badly represented because it ignores everything that isn't Super Star.

The people who think Kirby doesn't deserve another character are just biased or don't know enough about the franchise.

Mario has 14 "reps", FE has 5. Reps doesn't matter anymore, we just should add the characters many people want for the game.

It's like the franchise died in 2003. Some of the songs from Kirby's modern games, don't even fit into Smash.
Edit: When looking at the Kirby Trophies from Brawl, it was under the title: Kirby Super Star, instead of Kirby.

I'll change my name to Drifloon if you change your name to Ly :dr^_^:
Weirdly enough, I originally wanted a Drifloon avatar before Crowned Dee appeared XD
=u= Well, I was joking about it but eh, I wouldn't care if I had Ly the Fairy as a username.

But everyone knows me as my name now, so, I think I'll just still with this. xD

Oi, I can kinda get Captain Toad, but why is Rosalina seen as more deserving than Bandana Dee? I played both Galaxy games and 3D World and to be honest saw nothing that puts her above Bandana Dee other than possibly seniority? I honestly feel like I'm missing something here, does she have other notable appearances outside of Mario Kart + Sports where she gets any bigger role than Bandana Dee? To me she seems on equal footing?

Also, I don't think 4Chan as a whole is 'stupid' , but rather more or less very crude with their opinions, and are far more likely to say it in a manner that may offend people, much like say, GameFAQs, my advice would be to ignore it since no one really takes either of those two sites seriously anyway, it's basically the anarchist parts of the internet where there's really no rules.
Late to the party, but the "deserve" argument is kinda flawed if you take a quick look at some of the newcomers in the past Smash games. Rosalina is a great character (I am not a fan of her in Smash, mainly because of her gross fanbase, but in the Mario series she is the best character). So even if she doesn't deserve a spot more than Bandana Dee, in the end she is playable and he isn't, at least not yet.

(Interesting discussion and argument in this page and the previous one, btw!)
I'm just curious if they would take Goombella the same way because if not, it'll be hilariously absurd :)
Goombela would be an awesome addition. Her or Vivian! :D

I agree with ALL of that. Honestly, I've noticed it ever since the Wii U version of Smash 4 was released. The one version of Smash 4 that I honestly thought would be jam-packed with with almost nothing BUT Kirby goodies post-Super Star/post-Air Ride (The former because almost all Kirby gameplay content in the Wii U version of Smash 4 seems to be taken from that game alone, and the latter since that was Sakurai's last Kirby game before leaving HAL.) and yet, I was pretty disappointed to see only music made it's way in.

Mario has 14 "reps", FE has 5. Reps doesn't matter anymore, we just should add the characters many people want for the game.
Thank You! Someone says it!

The Kirby section was called Kirby super star, the same way the wario is called wario ware in smash 4 iirc.
That being so, if the contents of the trophies are purely from/referring to that game, that isn't bias - it's just an accurate description. That's why I'm curious about it. ;)

What do you think of DK's representation in Smash? Slightly off-topic, but I want to know your opinion on it.
I think it's underrepresented, I don't know why Dixie is not in the game already, she is popular, iconic, has decent moveset potential and appears in the recent games. K.Rool is awesome, popular and has moveset potential, but I would understand if he is not in this game.

So, yeah, I think it's underrepresented, DK is very big and popular and deserves at least 3 characters.
The only reason I can imagine for not having a DK newcomer would be that Sakurai considers DK as part of the Mario series, and that it's well represented.
