Made sure to put in a good word for our female simian. Also made sure to vote for a mix of 1st and 3rd Parties and a mix of reps from new and existing franchises, as I know a large amount of the fanbase is going to skew towards the latter only in both categories.
Did my part by voting for our ponytail girl.
totally overshadowing her. I wonder how will she fare this time around.
Freaking gorgeous... I remember Nintendo not being happy with LittleBigPlanet users making Mario levels. Long story short they couldn't do anything about it, and since Dreams is made by the same developers I'm sure nothing's gonna stop them this time. As long as the developers themselves don't make these kind of levels, Nintendo's out of luck.
For reference, here's the results of the 2018 poll:
T'is depressing to think this may actually be the case, but let's do everything in our power to try to prove this wrong, or at the very least let's try to not drop too drastically. If we could make Top 20 two years ago, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to do it again, especially with King K. Rool, Ridley, and Banjo-Kazooie taken off the board. The last thing we want is a repeat of this.
Well. To start, Byleth's reveal destroyed all the arguments and mentality against first parties that were so prevalent in the Joker to Terry days. Also, this poll ask you to give it six answers. SIX slots where anyone can put most of their favorite requested characters, whether they are 1st or 3rd party and even leave some slots for filler. I even found enough room to fit in all the unique characters I wanted.
and had and that saddens me. But Dixie is a Nintendo all star and she deserves to be acknowledged as such.
I remember the SSBU news poll being declared inaccurate and clickbait for its low amount of votes and the short time to vote. At least this one is lasting a long time and is giving participants several choices.
) suddenly becoming highly voted when "Brave" was leaked and before that literally no one was talking about him. got confirmed), many indies like The Knight from Hollow Knight to drop off because of the Mii Costumes with music tracks seem to be their thing now and many first parties to gain more votes because of Byleth breaking the third party only fan rule.
I'm not crazy about Mario 64. I know it's one of the most influential games ever, but it hasn't aged too well and isn't as fun as Banjo, imo. Galaxy 2 is pretty great, but I prefer the darker, more dreamlike atmosphere of Galaxy 1.
I don't think Galaxy needed more combat options. Mario 64 had them because people weren't accustomed to making precise jumps in 3D yet.
LOL Jon. What did Kiddy do to him?
Looks like he's part of the mafia here. He'll be our mob enforcer, sent to break the legs of anyone who uses the phrase "Wig Diddy".
You sweet innocent soul.
Some people are too lazy to look into a game (despite eShops and Youtube being a thing), and will dismiss a character that they're unfamiliar with because of superficial similarities. See also: people who call Terry "Hat Ken", call Bandanna Waddle Dee a "Goomba with a hat", said that K. Rool would be a Bowser clone without the fire breath, or say that Joker is an anime swordsman.
Oh lets not forget the K.Rool is a "Bowser knock-off" or "Rip-off Bowser" that use to get thrown around by his haters during speculation. Even though the only thing the characters have anything even remotely in common is that they are both big reptiles. Thats it...
Oh, I didn't notice it, never mind then.
I can imagine the picture of Diddy and Dixie approaching K. Rool with the blunderbuss. It's so 90s.
DK technically debuted in the 80s. Pretty sure their going by first appearances, which is why Diddy, K. Rool, and Dixie would be there but not DK, since DK would be dated by his arcade appearance while the other three debuted in the DKC trilogy, it's also why DK appears much earlier than Diddy in All Star Mode in Smash 4 (or later if you play the Wii U version).
Don't forget "Banjo and Kazooie would be a Duck Hunt echo!"
Believe me they call her "Wig Diddy". They also call her "Female Diddy" too.
If I was the NoJ CEO I would promote and put both Dixie and Krystal in Season Pass 2. At least Sylux has a chance with Prime 4 coming out in the next couple of years and his Spirit still missing from the game. Sylux isn't anywhere near my wanted list, but I would take him over another Fire Emblem or Pokemon character.
Well. For this case. I will take a quote from another series I like: The only time we can cry is when it's all over.
The worst part is that Dixie can totally have a pack with all the rich content of the DK series that Smash has been ignoring for years. It is the perfect oportunity to redeem the historical horrible representation DK has had in Smash. Smash 4 did the franchise dirty with another Jungle stage (That now got cut) and 8 versions of Jungle Hijinx like it's the only theme the franchise has. In Ultimate it got better with
and the remixes of The Map Page / Bonus Level. Gangplank Galleon, Snakey Chantey and Crocodile Cacophony (OH MY GOD THIS ONE IS SO GOOD) are incredible. But the only 3 DK stages (I refuse to adknowledge that abomination of 75m as a DK stage) are all generic made-up jungle stages with the exception of Kongo Jungle from Smash 64 (Has anyone noticed that Melee's Jungle Japes game icon says Donkey Kong 64? What an incredible lie) and almost nothing from Tropical Freeze. Since DK basically skipped a game content-wise, we are like a Smash game behind all the other franchises Well. Thinking positively. It's confirmed that every pack in the second round will still have a stage and a lot of new music.
If Dixie makes it in. This is my dream character pack.
Dixie Kong's Character Pack:
something something spirits deconfirm something something
Just take the Rare render and call it a day:

Grassland Groove
It's like Poké Floats. Where the stage changes to different settings while the fight happens.
It should show the dancing trees, the platforms made by natives, the piñata Giraffes, the mechanical snake platforms and then it loops.

Please bring David Wise on board if it ever happens. Grant Kirkhope got his chance so Wise needs to delight us with his godly remix in Smash too.

Mining Melancholy - New Remix
Forest Interlude - New Remix
Krook's March
Nuts and Bolts
Rockface Rumble - New Remix
Big Boss Blues - New Remix. This song sounds surpringly good if its given an appropiate touch-up like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a59JJetdDxM
Big Top Bop
Scorch N' Torch
Punch Bowl
Volcano Dome
Improving upon perfection: The theme of this route is fighting characters that also debuted in a direct sequel. While we also pay tribute to the sequel game in question. The exception is the last fight.
Round 1: VS Ness on Fourside
Round 2: VS Meta Knight on Fountain of Dreams
Round 3: VS Pichu on Pokémon Stadium 2
Round 4: VS Wolf on Venom
Round 5: VS Wario on Peach's Castle
Round 6: VS weak Giga Bowser on FD (Technically debuted in Melee)
Boss: VS Giant King K. Rool on Grassland Groove. You team up with DK and Diddy Kong
If you have completed also the classic modes of DK and Diddy, then you get this nice bonus spirit.
Kong Trio:

Looking at the spirits in the base game. We have the Kong members. But some animal buddies are missing and a ton of recurrent enemies are missing as well. But I prefer another take....
Choose some bosses from DKC2, DKC3 and Tropical Freeze (Not Returns, because Dixie is not playable there) and make a spirit board based on all the challenges Dixie herself has had to beat in her games appearances.
- Krow: Black Giant Falco on Pirate Ship (They could make the Ship stay in the sky), make Falco come back invisible after dying.
- Kleever: Some invisible giant Fire Emblem character I guess, on Norfair. Invisible Bowser Jr will help you shooting cannon balls.
- Kudgel: Gray King K. Rool on Distant Planet, earthquakes happen often.
- Arich: Giant Bowser on Garden of Hope. Bowser has help from the Pong Assist Trophy.
- KAOS: Giant R.O.B. on Shadow Moses Island. Beware of the laser spam.
- Bleak: Black/White Dedede on Summit. Beware of the Gordo tennis game.
- Pompy: Blue Yoshi on Living Room. Mini green Greninjas also come to annoy you.
- Skowl: Blue Ridley on Umbra Clock Tower. Eggs spawn often.
- Ba-Boom: Three Diddy Kongs on Grassland Groove. They come back invisible after dying. You only have to kill the three when they are visible to win.
- Bashmaster: I wish we could use Banjo-Kazooie but DLC is forbidden on spirits outside of its own package. Giant Dedede spamming Up B and F-Smash it is.
If the player doesn't have Kaptain K. Rool, Baron K. Roolesnstein and Lord Fredrik I guess they could show up in the board too.
Yeah, I'm aware it CAN be good. But, like I said, it's up to Nintendo to see that in a potential Dixie Kong inclusion. And right now I don't think that will happen.The worst part is that Dixie can totally have a pack with all the rich content of the DK series that Smash has been ignoring for years. It is the perfect oportunity to redeem the historical horrible representation DK has had in Smash. Smash 4 did the franchise dirty with another Jungle stage (That now got cut) and 8 versions of Jungle Hijinx like it's the only theme the franchise has. In Ultimate it got better with(And a certain franchise feels like 2 games ahead of everyone else).
I'm going to quote myself from almost a month ago to demostrate how good a Dixie character pack would be:
I think Nintendo only cares about DK not DKC. DK being one of Miyamoto's babies that put him on the map alongside Mario is the reason Nintendo will bring up DK. DKC to me has just as big of a legacy but has been ignored by the big N since Rare left in 2002.
Kind of ironic that I remember during Smash 4 days a lot of people claimed Sakurai was against Dkc but in every other installment of Smash he seems to show a bit more respect for the series compared to others parts of Nintendo (outside of Retro Studios) by treating it more as it's own series rather than just part of the Mario franchise, granted it certainly could be better than it is now but I'm willing to be grateful about what we got particularly with Brawl and Ultimate.
