I hope Bandana Dee is competitively viable.
Dedede got nerfed to hell in this game, Kirby is nowhere near as good as he was in Brawl and MK is still good despite him having a waterfall of nerfs.

Wonder where this puts Bandana Dee. Hope he isn't cursed with something like terribad frame data.

Actually, Kirby is still in the Mid-Tier range.

What? Wario is in tournaments. TheReflexWonder and Abadango do very well with him. I will say it sucks about Jiggly, but Ganon is garbage so I'm not surprised he's basically nonexistent in top level play. :v

Well Bandana Dee is a small character with a big disjoint. I think he'll be as good as MK at least. Depends on whether he has kill confirms and how safe his moves are. I think Sakurai could give him the Pit treatment in regards to how safe his moves are idk. He does have a dash attack that's a projectile, meaning he's one of the few characters that can throw a projectile out of a dash. That will probably make him really good in neutral (if it isn't atrociously unsafe).

Also please don't remind me of the possibility of Yoshi getting nerfed again (he was nerfed twice). He's the only character I can play on 3DS local play because the lag is always atrocious. I'll probably have to sell my 3ds game if he was Brawl Yoshi again.

I haven't really seen Wario's pop up. Serynder's the only Jiggly I know. Dorf is amazing to watch and I hold needs to be used more. Junior being non-existant is probably the most disappointing.

The shieldstun change affected Kirby pretty negatively, and dampens his already awful approach. Combined with him basically having little to no presence at big tournaments, things aren't looking so hot for the tough pink puff. It's sad, but true. I know there are dedicated mains like MikeKirby, Smash G0D, t1mmy and Poyo but even then they haven't made much of an impact. Izaw (the best Link main in the world) also plays Kirby but can't bring him anywhere since he doesn't have the money to travel outside Sweden.

Imagine how dope it'd be if it were drawn by Sakurai himself.

I imagined it resembling something like this piece of artwork from Return to Dream Land:


The background would probably be above Battlefield (or Cookie Country, if it gets in as a stage!), and instead of Kirby, Bandana Dee would be front and center! Behind him would be Kirby, Dedede, MK, and a good amount of the roster!

that can be said for all non-high tier charters or low tier because " popular people"*cough* Zero*cough*Mew2king*cough* hungry box *cough*competitive players*cough* have set the state that your not good if you play as low tier characters

Is this a joke about the grab glitch?, because if it isn't, Diddy was not nerfed.
Yes, yes it is. But actually, it mat be a bug but he was still nerfed. I think that every patch released will nerf Diddy even more. He'll be nerfed so hard he'll be bumped down to bottom teir.

Diddy is still one of the best characters in the game.
Not for long. I'm telling you, he'll become more like :ganondorf: and less like :foxmelee:.

Not true, all three of them play low-tier characters in different games. Hungrybox now plays Ness in Melee, M2K plays as Pichu, Mewtwo (abeit rarely) and Roy in Melee, and ZeRo plays as Shulk in 4. They all play the game competitively and have more than a decade's worth of playing experience and character knowledge, so of course they're gonna play with characters that offer them a higher chance of success. Besides, Hungrybox still played Jigglypuff in Brawl even if she was absolute hot garbage in that game since he's a major loyalist to her. Props to him, if anything.

Ugh, I want a Direct, all these rumours and no real information.
Here, I made a prediction list of some sort on the DLC thread.
Bandana Dee and Inklings get released with Urchin Underpass and Fountain of Dreams as stages with some Mii Costumes and an item from Splatoon, which is the Inkzooka, and trophies of Callie and Marrie. Now how would that be as DLC?
Pretty cool eh? I guess Alex Kidd would be a good Mii Costume?

The K. Rool thread is so dry they're talking about whether or not Marth should be considered the face of the FE series because of Melee and there's no objection to it. The Wolf thread is the same song and dance of either being scared ****less for Wolf or being entirely confident he's coming back.

There needs to be NEWS. And that Direct on the 14th rumor didn't follow through. Splatoon's update is in a day isn't it?

Do you guys have any nicknames for certain characters?

I like to call Diddy Kong "Mini Dong" and Toon Link... get ready for this.

Speaking of Link, here's an awful joke,

"What does Link say when he's at his job as a dentist?"

Yeah, but the names are jokes in spanish and some of them make no sense without a context, except for "Martha".

"AAAAAAAA! "HYAAAAAA!"

Diddy gets a lot of flak for no reason. He's Ganon compared to Shiek and Rosaluma. Why aren't they getting nerfs?!
Because Sakurai has no real idea what character balance is and keeps nerfing Diddy because he's paranoid people will complain about him again like they did with Meta Knight and the Icies in Brawl, and keeps making him worse as a result. Considering how he decides to be completely oblivious to tournaments or competitive Smash in genera, it's also another factor.

Geez this thread moves fast when people are anxious.

I think there might be some news tomorrow, since Splatoon's getting a major update according to a datamine. Does anyone know what time Nintendo usually announces their directs? It would make it a lot easier to tell how likely a announcement is today if I could tell if the window's passed or not :p.

The worst part is that he's right. People are STILL complaining about Diddy.

Honestly, it wasn't really a nerf. While Diddy was unable to be grabbed during the glitch, he couldn't shield either.

Really, I don't think Diddy needed nerfs at all (outside of his uair maybe).

He isn't oblivious to Smash's tournament scene since he has met with Zero and M2K before. Though Diddy has been :Greninja: 'd enough. I think he's just going with fan demand, which is still going on about Diddy.
Rosaluma getting the Greninja stick when

Yeah. Diddy's only annoying thing was hoo-hah.

Speaking of characters, nerf Sheik, Luigi, Mario and Captain Falcon back to their Brawl states. Then we will have true balance
