E3 wasn't ever the likely place for Dee's reveal IMO.

Wondering just now, but when is the best or appropriate time to reveal him?

I would say either as DLC or not at all. If not DLC, I see him as a secret character

Revealed, DLC, or secret, I'd want him regardless ( Though I not into the idea of him being DLC. ), but I'd like to see a trailer showcasing him if he does get in. Actually has someone made something like that for Bandana Dee? ( More so of a picture? )They probably won't formally reveal him. He's still a WTF character in some people's eyes.

I don't see how people don't know Bandana Dee is a character, not a common enemy...

Yeah, I don't get how people can't tell that Bandana is clearly a character all his own. Guess most of them just don't play enough Kirby. Also, anyone else like spamming the "throw" moves in Kirby Triple Deluxe/Return to Dreamland just from how cool they look? honestly, I love how it feels to just walk up to a hostile enemy, grab it, and then slam its face into the ground. Zelda II in 3D with that Sword ability, anyone? Ninjutsu Action! I love Spear Copter.

Some people live under rocks and have never seen a Kirby game that has Bandana Dee in it.

lets look at the amount of characters based on series.
mario has a whopping 7
Zelda has 4 currently with no announced newcommers yet prob will get 5, i doubt theyd cut ganon
pokemon has 4 currently, could change, theres options
and kirby has 3
Mario zelda kirby and pokemon are the 4 chars they showed on brawls release teaser. Idk, keeping the others at 4-7 while leaving kirby at 3 seems odd to me.

I think Bandana Dee would make a good secret character.

A cutesy, clay/play dough -like trailer as a nod to the new Kirby game and its style (Kirby and the Rainbow Curse)?

Probably like Super Star Ultra/Return to Dreamland/Triple Deluxe's Cutscenes.
Hey, maybe Bandana's trailer would start off the Mega Punch arena? After all, it IS his first ever appearance.

I think that the style of his trailer would be cinematic, like Greninja's and Rosalina's and such.
His reveal trailer would likely be cinematic. Definitely could open like Return To Dreamland's cutscenes. Each one pays homage to the style of the character and the game (IE: Launch Star entrance, shadow of Greninja in his opening is similar to encountering a Pokemon, Palutena observing Pit, etc), and RTD's cutscenes blend perfectly into this trend.

I think something like there's some characters fighting, and then when DDD and Bowser are about to start fighting with each other aspear lands at Bowser feet, they both look back and Bandana Dee appears to "defend" DDD, grabs his spear and "Bandana Dee spears in". And the gameplay and the trailer finishes with a happy Bandana Dee sitting in DDD's shoulders.

By the way, have we seen any other character besides Kirby in Rainbow Curse?

You can do it!
Bandana Dee and a couple of normal enemies like Brunto burts. Thats about it though.

No, which is the kicker. If Bandana Dee was shown along with MetaKnight and D3, his chances would only go up a small portion. However the fact that there is 4 different colored Bandana Dees is such a strange thing, I wonder what is his roll in the game.

I'm not sure if that was a legit typo or a pun. Either way, I chuckled.
I'd imagine that BD would be a second player (or second, third, fourth player, what with all the colors). Which is weird, because MK/D3 would work out nicely for players 3 and 4.

Mabye because there the most cutesy next to kirby and that his body is somewhat round like a ball.

Is he confirmed to be in tha game?

Wooooooaw, multi colored Dees! Now i am scared!Him and three other Waddle Dee's that wear bandanas. Which is very mysterious.
I feel it be like co op, gamepad plays kirby, wii motes play the Dees. U know, cuz The Dees seems to have legs and is 4.

I think this is very good for the Dee.These three extra Dee's are really get the speculation going. Who are they? What is there purpose?
Regardless, we have perfect candidates for alternate colors.
He seems to be the luigi of this game!

I think of him more as important as...Toad? Not the generic one, the specific one. Or Blue and Yellow in the NSMB series. His rank is 4th most important, but his role is of Toad's. Either way he's important.

That's to bad that many people think he has no chance....We'll show them.

Wow, I know that BD's definitely been getting some recognition since Super Star Ultra, but that Rainbow Curse REALLY increases his odds.
I've always used to think that, since smash is represented most by Mario, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, and Kirby characters, they all should have gotten equal representation. However, the kirby series has always been lacking thus far in character spots. The most it could come out with in Brawl was 3 characters, and Metaknight and DDD definitely deserved it, but I still feel as though it's a bit unfair. There have been many other characters in the kirby series who could have gotten a spot on the roster, such as Galacta Knight, Knuckle Joe, Marx, etc, but with Bandana Dee being playable in Return to Dreamland that made him that top candidate easily. I definitely think he deserves the spot. Besides, with the spear ability being as versatile as it is, a moveset for him couldn't be hard

Concerning the way that Bandana Dee will work, do you guys think the tip of his Spear will do the most damage, like Marth's Sword?
Plus, how much kill potential do you think he will have?

Yeah I think thats would how his spear work. I think that BD will be a glass canon. He is super light, but he deals heavy hitting attacks.

Do you think he would be a character who has strong tilting attacks or mains in smash attacks?

Falling Speed: 1.22 (Luigi)
Air Speed: 0.893 (Falco)
Dash Speed: 1.37 (Squirtle)
Gravity: 0.065 (R.O.B.)
Neutrals:
(Jab): BD swings his spear horizontally. (4%)

(F-Tilt): BD extends his arm and stabs with his spear. Has decent hitstun. (7%)
(D-Tilt): BD pokes is spear forward close to the ground. (5%)
(U-Tilt): BD quickly stabs his spear upwards. (5%)
Smashes:
(F-Smash): BD takes out a parasol and twirls it forwards hitting multiple times. Low knockback. (8x2%)
(D-Smash): BD does a Parasol Twirl like in the Kirby Games. It is similar to Pikachu's D-Smash. (4x3%)
(Up-Smash): BD pokes an unopened Parasol upwards and pops it open. High knockback. (13%)
Aerials:
(Nair): BD twirls his spear similar to Pit's Nair. (4x2%)
(Bair): BD swings his spear backwards, has decent knockback. (7%)
(Fair): BD does a full overhead swing of his spear. At the tip it hits a meteor smash. (9%, 13% Sweet Spot)
(Uair): BD stabs his spear upwards multiple times with nice stun, but little knockback. (3x3%)
(Dair): BD smashes into the ground with a Megaton Punch. This creates a small shock-wave where he lands. (14%, 4% for shockwave)
Grabs:
Grab is the Circus throw from the Kirby games.
(Pummel): BD slightly tosses the enemy up a bit. (2%)
(F-Throw): BD bounces the enemy slightly and bounces them forward. (9%)
(U-Throw): BD forcefully opens the parasol. High knockback. (12%)
(B-Throw): BD bounces the enemy slightly and bounces them backward. (9%)
(D-Throw): BD twirls his parasol, hitting multiple times and sending the enemy downwards. (6x2%)
Specials:
(Neutral Special: Spear Throw)
Bandanna Dee throws a spear in an arc. The longer you hold it, the farther it goes. It can be used in air. (9%)
(Forward Special: Shotzo)
Bandanna Dee holds out a Shotzo. The Shotzo has to fire 3 shots each time it is used before BD puts it back. The shots can be aimed up, forward, or at a 45 degree angle. (4% per shot)
(Up Special: Spear Copter)
Bandana Dee charges up and then starts to twirl his spear very fast above his head. He begins to float in mid-air. The longer BD charges the Spear Copter the longer he is in the air. At minimum it is 2.5 seconds and at max it is 4.5 seconds. Bandanna Dee goes into a helpless state after it is used. The spear can also deal minor damage. (2%)
(Down Special: Parasol)
When used on the ground, Bandanna Dee shields himself in a single direction with his Parasol. The Parasol deflects (not reflects) all projectiles, similar to powershielding. The controls are similar to that of the Cracker-Launcher item from Brawl. You can aim it higher or lower, but you can also walk left and right while using it. You can also turn around by double tapping left or right.
It can also be used in the air, but instead it allows you to float. This greatly reduces your falling speed and increases your air speed. Bandanna Dee can act out of this.
Final Smash: Waddle Dee Tank
Bandanna Waddle Dee summons a massive Waddle Dee tank from the Kirby's Return to Dreamland Mini-Game. It is similar to the Landmaster controls as it can damage people as you run into them, but it can attack. The Waddle Dee can fire homing missiles on the enemies.
This was my moveset in the OP.
I think that Bandana Dee would be able to out range most enemies with far range pokes with his Spear. His only two good KO moves are his Up-Smash, Down-Smash, Up-Throw, and F-Air. Your main strategy is to quickly rise up the opponent's percentage, and then finish them off with one of the KO moves.
