My first Ever Character Analysis, Bare With Me Please

INTRODUCTION-



Way back when, November 20 1995 to be exact, the follow up to Donkey Kong Country was released. It was named Diddy Kong's Quest



This time around, Diddy Kong took role as the main character, because big brother DK was well... Kidnapped. He wasnt alone though, he helped introduce a new character, Dixie Kong, who was there as a playable character with Diddy throughout the entire game. Dixie offered some new gameplay strategies and helped to keep things fresh. With her long banana like hair, she could glide.

The game was a huge sucess, and Dixie even went on to have her own game one year later DKC 3- Dixie's Double Trouble.



The game followed the same basic formula as the first, slightly improved graphics, and introduced yet another character... Kiddy Kong - But hes not important at the moment

WHY DOES DIXIE KONG DESERVE TO BE A CHARACTER IN BRAWL?
1.)The Donkey Kong series is one of nintendos top series's. Until now, weve only had one represetnative,
DK himself. Admittedly, she doesnt deserve to get in before Diddy, but whats wrong with three rep's from a top selling classic series? Heck, pokemon has how many now?
2.) King K. Rool has been argued as a playable character, now why does he deserve to get in before Dixie Kong?
3.) This game needs more female playable characters, yes, even if it means being a monkey
4.) She was mentioned in Melee, her trophy:

5.) Again, as already stated, she was in DKC 2, and went on to have her own game, heck in the formula continued, I wouldnt be surprised if the 4th was about saving her. That would make her involved in more of the DONKEY KONG COUNTRY games than DK.

GAMES DIXIE KONG HAS BEEN IN:
1995-1997:
1.)Donkey Kong Country 2 (Diddy Kong's Quest)
2.)Donkey Kong Country 3 (Dixie Kong Double Trouble)
1997-2004:
The dark ages for Dixie Kong, she was removed from DK 64 and her sister Tiny Kong was added, causing much displeasure among the fanbase
2004-2007:
Dixie Kong was a character in the DK TV show, which was pretty terrible, and was cancelled

3.) Donkey Konga 2
4.) MARIO SUPERSTAR BASEBALL as a secret character, her first mario appearance
5.) DK: King of Swing
6.) Mario hoops 3-0n-3
7.) Diddky Kong Racing DS
8.) Donkey Kong 3 (Japan Only)


Dixie has been getting alot more playtime lately, and since she was added to the DS remake of Diddy Kong Racing, we know she hasnt been forgotten


DIXIE KONG STATISTICS-
All are out of a possible 5 stars
Size: *** [Dixie would be just a tiny bit bigger than pikachu)
Weight: ** [Lighter than Yoshii, more durable than pichu)
Power: **1/2 [Dixie would not be a powerhouse, she would be slower than Fox, yet around his power ability]
Speed: ***1/2 [Dixie would have her standard walk on two feet, than get on all four hands/feet to dash]
Jump: ****1/2 [Ok first of all, she IS a monkey,and yes, she can glide, using her hair like a copter]

While in the air, Dixie would have the ability to glide, slowly going downwards as she glides longer

DIXIE KONG MOVESET-
Uh-oh ive never done one of these, please cut me some slack

Non-Smash's:
Basic A Attack: Dixie Waves her hair forward hitting for 1-2% damage
Double A Attack: Dixie thrusts her hair forward, then back again to cause another 1% damage
Triple A Attack: Dixie thrusts hair forward, back again, and all the way around while thrusting herself at the opponent, causing an additional 1-2% damage
Dash A Attack: Like in DKC 2 while running, her hair spins like a helicopter causing 3-4% Damage
Up A Attack: Jumps up pointing her ponytail like a spear, causing 3-4% damage
Down A Attack: Dixie stretches out her feet semi like captain falco, forcing anyone downward

A Smash: Dixie holds her hair down behind her to smash anyone in front of her with incredible force
B Attack: Dixie Winds Up her hair, much like Dk's wind up punch
Side B: Dixie dashes towards the enemy tackling anyone in her way (Semi like foxes invisi-dash, just not as fast)
Down B: A Parry attack, Dixie shields herself with her hair in an almost cacoon like fasion
Up B: Dixie uses her hair to thrust herself into the air, She can also glide


Brawl Attack:
Option One
1.) In a medusa like fasion, Dixie's hair goes grabs anyone around her and thrashes them onto the ground
Option Two
2.) Dixie summons a cranky Kiddy Kong, who comes to her aid, not wanting to let anyone touch her, the effect would be like that of scizors in Melee

Taunt:
Dixie Plays her Guitar :]


Grab Attack:
Up Grab:
Dixie Puts the opponent on her shoulders like she would kiddie kong, and kicks them into the air

Side Grab:
Dixie Grabs the opponent with her hair, almost curling them up, then tossing them to the side
Down Grab:
Grabs opponent with hair, slamming them onto the ground

"SHEZ LEIK P3Rf3CT TO BE AN ASS1ST TROPHY!"
I have already said this, Dixie has been in so many games, and even had her own, she obviously can have a moveset, and is quite popular. Especially lately, she has been in quite a few newer games. We know nintendo hasnt forgotten about her because of these recent moves to implement her in the DKR DS game.

FAQ:
1.) BUT I DONT WANT DIXIE KONG SHEZ LEIK An0th3R MONKAY
RESPONSE: Do you really think we cant spare one spot for her, I know the decisions been made but COME ON if we have room for so many pokemon we need to have dixie
2.) WHAT ABOUT DIDDY?
RESPONSE: To this I can only say Diddy does deserve to get in before dixie, but that doesnt make her any less important, shes had her fair share of games rivaling Diddy
3.) SHE HAS TO MANY MOVES WITH HER HAIR:
RESPONSE: Dixies only form of offense in the games were her hair and the animals in boxes that would assist her, so yes her hair is her central point, and Diddy is the one who deserves the animals for attacks EX: His side B could be a rhino Charge
4.) HEY DID YOU CATCH FRIENDS LAST NIGHT? THAT WAS HILARIOUS
RESPONSE: No, I dont like that show, wth does that have to do with Dixie
5.) LEIK 20 OTHER PPL HAVE DONE THIS WITH DIXIE
RESPONSE: I am new to the forums, and have not seen one myself yet, I know Im not the first one to do a Dixie Thread, but the idea was not stolen from someone else

Final Word:
So comeon you guys, I know the final decision has been made, but lets show some support for one of Nintendos great characters, I mean, who doesnt like Dixie Kong?



So... The question is yours, Dixie Kong, YES/NO?

K. Rool will be in before her, and we already got Diddy as a newcomer so I see her getting AT at best, good analysis though.

I know I am. Rambi charging once or twice across the stage would have been much more effective, and true to the Dk universe (cmon, Bongos dont count) than the current FS.

I also miss Rambi, and it would have been a great nostalgical (lol) thing to happen to have him added as part of DK's final smash...bah

I like Dixie too, but K. Rool will get in before her, Im sorry.

You had me until you said K. Rool = lame.

The main villain of the Dk series, who had many costumes and techniques throughout the DKC series, which you agree was the prime of the DK games, lame? *gasp*

Needs more female characters, yes even if it means being a monkey.

I just think Dixie is a lot cooler

I should add a move using her bubble gum too :/

There's always Krystal, Micaiah, Midna, Jigglypuff(?). That's enough to do
me good. The thing is, there wasn't much stuff with female protagonists.

Well, I think K. Rool is a lot cooler. Your point?

...
You do that. > . >

The thing is, that trophy is official and it pretty much 99.9 % deconfirms her. If not that, than 100%.

Than what's the point of making it. Maybe I should remake a Gray Fox Support thread.

I wasn't. >__>

She has such potential with a moveset :/

I mean, two DKC games was more than DK himself.

Whatever though, If shes a trophy, I hope all the animals are too. (Rambii, enguarde, the elephant, spider, frog)

King K.rool will have to go first. But there is a chance that the DK series can have four reps, however that is pretty unlikely.

They DEFINTLY deserve 3...

What do you think is needed more, a female ( monkey :/ ) character, or another villain

Well, females and villains are both needed. Well, I guess Dixie is more needed, but chances are that it will be King. K.rool who takes the third spot.

K. Rool is FAR more deserving. I'd like to see Dixie, though; but our old King/Kaptain is much more important. Sorry, but that's the truth. K. Rool is the MAIN villain, he'd be the third DK rep.

Even if hes more deserving, fixie is 100x cooler :[

Much more unique with the Hair as the main focus for attacks and gliding

"Cooler than a giant crocodile with a bloody eye, a crown, a jetpack, boxing gloves and a blunderbuss? No."

A guitar playing monkey that can fly sounds much cooler to me :D

Dixie would NOT be a good addition. Yes, she has her hair, but...

THAT'S ALL SHE HAS! She has literally used nothing else that is unique to her. K. Rool is more unique because he could A) use his moves from his games and B) be a heavyweight. What would Dixie be? A Diddy clone with hair, because that's basically what she is. Until she actually shows a unique personality and moveset potential, she should be kept as an Assist Trophy.

Edit: Sorry, I forgot. She couldn't be a Diddy clone because she couldn't use most of his moves. So she'd just be an incomplete Diddy clone.

The Guitar was just a matter of playing whenever she finished a level. What's the point? That's like saying Diddy would use the Boom Box for a move.

Dixie's guitar wasn't even used for offense nor defense. Diddy's was from DK64.

wtf @ bubblegum

Where the heck would the animals come from? Her *** like Diddy's Peanut Gun? Pfft.

;) the hair is the main point actually, no other Brawler fights with their hair...and you're saying a hair fighter would be a clone of a peanut gun shooter? :chuckle: no way! and honestly she has more than her hair, well more things to work on a moveset than others (Captain Falcon, Ice Climbers) besides like I said before her canon shot from Mario Hoops can work, she can also use orange grenades and items she used in her games, as well as summon Kiddy Kong...heck Pit gets to summon Palutena, why can't Dixie summon Kiddy they worked together after all, and this game doesn't have to be realistic so don't go asking "where would Kiddy come out from?"...where does Peach pull out Toad from? :laugh:

Dixie has shown enough personality (much more compared to retro and Luigi was given his own personality way later), she's sweet nimble but can kick butt, players have experienced her potential in her own games, she's a main icon and a main hero. She's just a tiny bit less important than Diddy Kong, she's the third most iconic (overall) she wouldn't be too fast of a fighter, more on the normal level but light-weighted.

Have you ever played Donkey Kong Country?

She has way more moveset potential that most others :/

I agree with dixie in brawl she would be awesome, really people who say she can't have a move list forget about C.Falcon who really had no potential for a moveset but he is one of the best characters in the game. In fact dixie was way more popular back in the day, so popular she had her own game not alot of charecters can say that. K.rool I think maybe more wanted but I think dixie if playable in brawl will be more funner to play as, K.rool may have more potential for a movelist but still he the only he got that potential because he to re-invent himself every time in each game, first he was a king, the a pirate, then a evil scientist, but dixie is loved the same way she has always been (Minus the rareware pin) She also has been in mario games while k.roll hasn't giving her technically a better chance.

Edit: But i still think DK can pull 4 reps anyways so it doesnt matter, I think both will make it.

She could fill a good moveset EASY.

Glide too.

Well, King Krok Roll should be in SSBB because Both Bowser and King Dedede are in and plus he has a big potential moveset.
About Dixie... I don't know! She is deserving too but her copter move has already be taken by Donkey Kong since the first SSB, unless it is replaced by a new B + Up move.

Calling Donkey Kong one of Nintendo's biggest series is the largest overstatement I've heard in a long time. His games are going in terrible directions nowadays, no one gets excited about them like people used to. Two reps is enough for people to remember the good old days of DK, and that's all that needs to be represented for DK. And if we really see three(I highly doubt it) it'll be K'rool. Not many people think of Dixie over K'rool when remembering the joy of DKC.

And you got Jewed at Nsider? What the f*ck kind of cheap shot is that? Think before you type.

No, not really. All she has is her hair.
