They even make Dixie and DK popsicles! Look at how cute they look. They probably taste very good! And most likely in limited supply because of such high demand.

There's also Mario and Peach popsicles. Those ones are probably always in stock.https://t.co/Fuwv3rdgxQ pic.twitter.com/5KjnxwKbHF

I don't think Dixie would get that kind of reaction. She's a character who's been around for a while (unlike Min Min, Corrin, and Byleth), she's not being used to promote any upcoming games (unlike Corrin), and there seems to be demand for her to get in. (unlike Piranha Plant and Corrin) At the very least, it seems like she'd get a better reaction than the other first party DLC newcomers. (which, admittedly, isn't a high bar to clear, but the worst response that I could see her getting is where people think she's all right, but not super-exciting like Ridley or K. Rool because if we get another DK character, she's obviously the next choice)If Dixie gets in Smash and we get the "NOOOOOOO FIRST PARTIES ARE NOT HYPEEEEEEEE NO NOOOOOOOOOOOO" (insert crying Wojack here) we should do a "Reject Third Parties, return to Nintendo" meme, based on the Return to Monkey meme.
I think Dixie's reaction would go pretty postive with the casual audience as well. Especially since there was some people who reacted to K. Rool's trailer saying "Where's Dixie?" or "Come on! Show Dixie!".I don't think Dixie would get that kind of reaction.

I hope you are right regarding that, but the more characters like Steve and Joker and Sephiroth are added, it feels as choices like this wouldn't fly by the eyes of the audience that purchased this DLC.I don't think Dixie would get that kind of reaction.

Detractor/troll: NO! She wasn't suppose to be in the game and take my favorite character's slot. Damnit! They wasted a DLC pack on a girl Diddy clone. **** this game!I think Dixie would still get a largely positive reception compared to most of the other 1st Parties we've gotten.
And for the few who would complain, well.......

This is why i don't want Dixie's trailer to be a repeat of Banjo and K.Rool. Banjo's trailer ended up being kinda boring and i see someone who doesn't care about Banjo Kazooie seeing it as lazy, especially compared to say Sephiroth's.I'm of the belief that all Dixie would need is a good trailer. That generates hype and interest to people who otherwise would pass her right on by
I would love a trailer showcasing Dixie saving the heroes. I agree that we're better off having a cinematic that doesn't re-use the K. Rool trailer. Sure, comedy can be repeated but let's not wear out that "relaxing in the treehouse" theme unless it purposely derails quickly and on a level that's very unpredictable. It would help Dixie a lot to have a trailer that doesn't mimic another and has a distinct flair that she can call her own. One of her surface-level criticisms is that she's not that important and she's simply Diddy in drag; a trailer showing why she's a big deal for her series and has its own direction would shut down plenty of detractors, especially if that trailer is hype worthy.This is why i don't want Dixie's trailer to be a repeat of Banjo and K.Rool.

As someone who hates the One Winged Angel's guts and i can name 12 different characters that i would prefer over him (he is my least favorite Ultimate Newcomer), im not gonna deny he has had the best trailer in Smash so far, even above the Belmonts or Mega Man in 4. From presenting himself as a major threat over the main villain from World of Light, to showing his strength fighting multiple characters in CGI (Bayo, Greninja, Mario, Cloud) to using his theme song that perfectly showcases his final boss status, it's how you do a trailer right, and no trailer will ever top it.
Im not saying that Dixie needs to brutally murder Sephiroth on screen to showcase how good she is (even if i would love that), but she needs to be given her own scenario that allows her to shine, like a trailer where K.Rool and other villains capture the main Heroes (Link, Mario, Cloud, Sonic) and Dixie shows up to save them, perfectly showing her role as a heroine that saves the heroes and is up to the challenge, all while keeping an optimistic and encouraging personality.
Gametal is awesome. I love his Deoxys battle theme.Meanwhile, on the GaMetal end of things.
Dixie does have the distinct difference of not being an 8th Donkey Kong character at least.Something tells me that Dixie by herself would not be a compelling option for a standalone fighter pack just because she'd inevitably be a semi-clone of Diddy and wouldn't have that special "gimmick" that each DLC character seems to have. While us fans would still find her a solid choice and worth the cost, Nintendo could see a business risk when she's sold for $5.99 for a similar fighter to Diddy Kong, compared to crazy unique additions like Steve and Sephiroth. Byleth was advertising a new game, something Dixie can't do, and was still received rather....lukewarm.
I think Dixie would sell a lot more than Corrin, Byleth, or Plant. If they could sell those characters, they certainly could sell Dixie even if she's a semi-clone.Something tells me that Dixie by herself would not be a compelling option for a standalone fighter pack just because she'd inevitably be a semi-clone of Diddy and wouldn't have that special "gimmick" that each DLC character seems to have.

If they pulled an unexpected twist and announced that the next fighter's pass would include two fan favorite semi-clones instead of one unique 3rd party, I could see Dixie being a compelling option. Sakurai loves his fake outs and unexpected twists, so its not unbelievable to think he might launch two or three similar fighters to give fans one last nod. I don't expect it, but I also won't rule it out. Sakurai is a madman.
Let's see:Time for another DK/Dixie question of the day! So we all know if Dixie gets added to Smash she will come with music. We all have wanted/speculated about DKC2/DKC3 music being added. But what about the lesser known games in the DK franchise? So I ask you guys if you had to choose one song from King of Swing, Jungle Climber, Jungle Beat (even if Dixie wasn't in this game), DKC3 (GBA), or Barrel Blast to add which one would it be?
As a seperate bonus one song from Diddy Kong Racing/DS you would add as well. I didnt included Diddy Kong Racing as part of the initial pool as I had a feeling everyone would just opt for it instead of the others.
I know some of you guys here don't believe in Fatman's words, but one of his sources have heard about a Joanna Dark Mii costume and I wouldn't be surprised if they're saving it for Dixie.People wonder why Banjo and Kazooie didn't come with any Mii costumes related to their series or RARE in general, and I have theory they could be saving them for Dixie's reveal.
Give me Mumbo Jumbo, Joanna Dark, Fulgore, and Conker each with their own music to be played on the DK and Banjo stages. Bring in some DK costumes like Kiddy, Funky, Kremling, and a Snomad too.
Not only were they made by RARE, but they are both iconic female leads in gaming. Makes sense to me.I know some of you guys here don't believe in Fatman's words, but one of his sources have heard about a Joanna Dark Mii costume and I wouldn't be surprised if they're saving it for Dixie.
Seeing how we didn't get a single RARE costume for Banjo, i don't believe this. If RARE costumes didn't come with a character that is A Hundred Percent Rareware, why would they come with Dixie? It doesn't seem to make sense to me, Rare's creation of Dixie notwithstanding.I know some of you guys here don't believe in Fatman's words, but one of his sources have heard about a Joanna Dark Mii costume and I wouldn't be surprised if they're saving it for Dixie.
So? Cuphead came with Byleth and didn't come with Banjo or Steve despite being a 2nd party Microsoft IP.Seeing how we didn't get a single RARE costume for Banjo, i don't believe this.

Cuphead is owned by Microsoft true (and Microsoft is clearly more lax on Cuphead than other properties they own), but it is not exactly related to Banjo outside of being owned the same company, so it can be released afterwards if they want to. Perfect Dark? That is a Hundred Percent Rare pedigree. Rare loves to put their franchises together and cross them over (Banjo and Conker in DKR, Banjo cameo in BFD, ETC) and they had nothing of that sort for Banjo's Pack.So?

That's why I called MDHR a 2nd party Microsoft studio.

My problem is that Rare had NO cosutmes in Banjo's Pack at all. Not Microsoft Costumes (you should realize that just because a large company owns both IPS doesn't mean that all IPs operate the same or that easy to obtain, unless you want to tell me that Pokémon and Fire Emblem work the same just because they are both owned by Nintendo, never mind being completely developed by different developers and the like), RAREWARE costumes. If say, we got a Conker costume for Banjo's Pass i could see this happening because there would be a precedent, but the fact that Banjo had no Mii Costumes related to Rare seems to me that Rare Mii Costumes weren't and aren't high on priorities, and i don't see them all of the sudden changing their mind on Dixie.
Yes, i did, and it doesn't change my stance at all.That's why I called MDHR a 2nd party Microsoft studio. Did you even read my post?
