You can make that argument for literally every single minor character from every single franchise. Bandana Dee is an auxiliary character. Kirby, Dedede and Meta Knight are the major characters of the Kirby series. Bandana Dee is just as important as Cranky or Funky Kong are in the Donkey Kong series, or Midna in the Zelda series, they are auxiliary characters
I don't put much stock into these fan polls, they poll a tiny minuscule fraction of the Smash fan base and mean absolutely nothing. I'm saying that as a fan of Geno, but I don't throw these polls in everyone face and tell them how popular Geno still is, but 95% of the users in this thread would have you believe he isn't popular anymore or a highly requested character (even though he is still popular with classic Nintendo fans who aren't as vocal anymore since they have jobs and are real people now who don't have the time to carry on in the internet)
You telling me I'm biased and then you go ahead and vomit up one of your own biases that Xenoblade should get another fighter? Xenoblade barely sold one million units and the sequel doesn't look like its going to do much better. Xenoblade is not a popular franchise regardless of what people have you believe. Its a C list Nintendo franchise at best. You are the one who needs to get out of here with that entitled childish logic, calling others out for being biased but exempting yourself from acting biased. Everyone has their own opinions and if saying their opinions means they are biased then you need to learn social skills 101, kid. At this point I could care less for being modded if every time someone gets their feelings hurt by something I said because I don't sugar coat it for all these thin skinned teenagers

It's a speculation article using a Clickbait Headline.
I know this is a joke but I'd dig that :V
Dude, a lot of your Hope and Pray or Fever Dream characters have way better chance that you think, at least for the next Smash game. I know its your list, but Linkle is a trerribad character and choice, personally, and adding more Kid Icarus characters is going overboard on such a minor series, it would be a slap in the face to fans of other series. You listed almost everyone with a decent chance, who else do you think they will choose? Plus, Sora and Rayman should be in the Fever Dream section, they have more legal hurdles than 95% of the people you listed in Fever Dream. Overall, this list is chill and logical, and most important, fair (minus Kid Icarus)
He was talking about Cloud when he said that
Well the words are wrong as hell

Aha so it was only a translation error..
A Distant Demon
thx.
Bandana Dee has been playable twice recently, and in Rainbow Curse Dedede and Meta Knight weren't playable while Bandana Dee is, I don't think he's intended to be a reserve, more or less the 4th main/major character, if he wasn't that I doubt he would be prioritized over the likes of Dedede and Metty.
Thats putting way too much stock in the character, at one point Gooey had a huge following and a lot of support. Does that mean we should ignore those fans who at one time wanted that character as a Kirby representative? This recent mantra or thought process of adding characters to Smash Bros. based on recent popularity or flavor of the month is whack
Likely:
Gooey support was never that big, and to be honest he isn't the biggest Kirby character from that era who's not in the game, don't see why adding Bandana Dee over him could be that big of a mistake since Bandana Dee's bigger overall anyway (KSS, KSSU, RTDL, KTD, and KRC vs KDL2 and KDL3). Although if we were to randomly ban Bandana Dee since his popularity is too new or something, wouldn't Dark Matter, who is both important to the plot and the series's essence as a whole, still be a logical choice to both satisfy older fans of the series and represent the series accordingly?
I agree with you, I'd much rather get characters based on their importance to their franchise, their lasting popularity(characters that don't just fade away), and history.
Why are we even arguing? All I see here is that we agree, but my point was that I rather have new series added to Smash Bros., rather than adding to series who already have fighters, since the viable major characters from each series are more or less present
This basically
See there is a problem with this mindset as well...
Almost anyone could become an amazing fighter in Smash Brothers.
No.
No. But you said 'it seems a little selfish'...
Embellished/exaggerated would be the proper term, not staged since he does Livestream his reactions...
There is so much wrong with this post I can't even begin. It's full of ignorance, controdictions, bias, trying to make yourself have more authority by calling someone else names, and wrong use of words. Bandana Dee has proved he's not the Blue Toad of the Kirby franchise, Cranky is the original Donkey Kong, Funky has appeared in every major DK game since Country, Midna not being important to her own franchise was an arguement proven farce by her having an Amiibo, and if fanpolls aren't reliable, how the flying **** do you know if Isaac is more requested then BDee!? And then there's the fact that Xenoblade is an established franchise in Smash, not to mention the ass-loads of appearances that Fiora has been making, not to mention the recent release of X would make her an exellent cross-promotion. (Also just a fun little thing, my friends know who both Bandana Dee and Fiora are, but not Ray MK III or Takamaru) And your last part only made you look worse. I respect your opinion and all, but what you did wasn't right, I'm not even sure if I can trust that you know what the word biased means anymore. :/
Yeah. Exaggerated was the word I was forgetting.
This post reeks of angry fourteen year old angst. I'm not going to bother explaining why Xenoblade is a low tier Nintendo franchise. You obviously don't know what having "star power" is, or understand the difference between "main character" and "auxiliary character". You can tell us all you want how popular you think Fiora is or how much you want it in Smash Bros., the fact is that it's an unknown, unpopular character in the greater scheme of things. Just because a character got its own thread on Smash Boards doesn't mean it's popular, just a vocal minority. Xenoblade barely sold a million units, sales are the best way to gauge popularity, therefore Xenoblade can't be as popular as you make it out to be, especially not an auxiliary character in an already less popular game
Guess who's already in the game boy?
Not to mention the series is a spiritual continuation of FF VII, and guess who's in the game? Fiora has every right to appear in the game. Also, tell me where you have these sales numbers, I'd really love to know.
Yes there is a simpler way out, stop replying, you're just adding fuel to the fire...Guess who's already in the game boy?
Edit: Wait, there's a simpler way out...
I honestly just want him to stop with his additude, as it's incredibly annoying and ignorant, but I'll just ignore him, as it's the best thing to do in a situation like this.
Check vgchartz.com for a rough estimate. What did you think it sold? Ten million? Welcome to reality, you really do sound like a child, who packs up their toys and goes inside when they are mad. Fiora wasn't even chosen to appear in Shulks Final Smash, shows just how much Sakurai thinks of her "relevancy"Guess who's already in the game boy?
Edit: Wait, there's a simpler way out...
Your passive aggressive, condescending, "holier than thou" attitude is wearing thin, welcome to my ignore list
It doesn't have to do with interest, if that were the case I'd be clamoring for another Mother main, but I'm not because that would be unfair to the franchises that have no reps and plenty of supporters, like I said. Ness and Lucas are very much enough for the Mother series, and likewise, or arguably even more so for the Mario series, Pokemon series, Zelda series, and Fire Emblem series (but everybody already talks about that one already
) etc etc. How isn't that selfish?
because it's a video game and people can want what they want. Wanting something else just because other people didnt get what they want is stupid
uhhhGuess who's already in the game boy?
ok so I'll support a ""character"" I don't actually care about because 'muh reps' got it...It doesn't have to do with interest, if that were the case I'd be clamoring for another Mother main, but I'm not because that would be unfair to the franchises that have no reps and plenty of supporters, like I said.

"My character should be in because he/she would be really cool even though other potential fighters from different series could be just as cool or even more cool, but y'know, mine should still be in because who the heck cares about the other franchises that aren't repped amirite?" I played this up for satire, but you get what I'm saying right?
You wouldn't believe how widespread this thought was before Roy ended up getting revealed in June. Literally everyone believed that Roy was getting revealed at the event. Only me and a handful of people said he was getting revealed at E3 and people thought there was no way that was going to happen.
I don't think so TBH. Konami might be a crappy company and whatnot but Snake in Smash is something fans really want to see so personal feelings should be put aside for that.
The selfish part comes in to play when someone responds to an idea like "well, these series already have fighters in the game, a new series can bring fresh stages and music and fighters" with a post like "what? No, because all the characters from my favorite franchise deserve to be in the game first even though the series had three and four fighters already, it's underrepresented still"
You mean like Kojimas personal feelings that just got trampled on? Yeah, Konami doesn't care about Kojimas feelings, they could care less about the feelings of Smash Bros. fans, Hahaha
