So, including Dixie as part of a team is insulting her, but not including her at all is perfectly fine?
Source to how that alienates Diddy mains in the slightest?
DKC2 is enough reason, it worked then, and was supposed to be in Brawl.
She seems to be the 3rd most important DK character as of right now. And Cranky the 4th. If Nintendo doesn't even have the desire to return him in DK, I don't see him getting in for one reason only, being requested.
Where did you see he was the most requested newcomer? I'm pretty doubtful of that, but if its a poll started before the character reveals for tropical freeze, I'd be less surprised. If old games can't affect this one, why are you adding King K Rool?
See, this is the problem, you can't please everyone all of the time. I previously had both Dixie and K. Rool on my roster, but I dropped Dixie in favour of adding Shulk.
Yes, shoving Dixie on Diddy is insulting, as it implies she isn't good enough to be her own character, and yes, I'd much rather not have her at all than to have her stuck to Diddy. It would be like Luigi being shoved on Mario instead of being his own character, you would never be able to play as either one alone, you'd be stuck with one you don't want there following you.
I'm not even a Diddy main and I would be bothered by it, because I loved how Diddy was in Brawl. If he just randomly spouted an extra monkey that completely changes his mechanics then he would barely resemble his past self.
The thing I meant about it being in the old games, is that everyone thinks Dixie is more likely than K. Rool because she had a recent appearance in Tropical Freeze. Now if she's more likely because of a new game, then she's not going to be shoved onto Diddy like in an old game, particularly when they cannot pair up in the new game, if in fact the new game is why she's in.
She's certainly not the third most important character, and I'd say Cranky is more important than her too. K. Rool has been the main antagonist more times than Dixie has been playable. And Nintendo won't just stop him from getting in, remember this is Sakurai, not Nintendo as a whole here, Sakurai went as far as to include Snake just because his friend asked him to, so even if Nintendo doesn't want K. Rool around, surely Sakurai would add him because of his demand.
K. Rool, on average, is the most requested newcomer when combining multiple different results. Ridley would be very close to being more requested than K. Rool if it weren't for the fact that no one in Japan cares for him, but they do want K. Rool. And just because he's not in Tropical Freeze doesn't mean he's any less requested, remember that Mega Man was practically dead and a third party character to boot, but people kept hounding for his inclusion
because they love him, the very reason K. Rool is on top right now is because everyone above him is already in, and there are still many people that love him from the original trilogy and who have wanted him in Smash for a very long time now.
