Marx Rolls In! - "Now I can cause all the mischief I want!" - Dream Friend DLC Has Launched!

[AIM0001]

Oh yeah. Relevance isn't the only factor, but it's a big one. And i don't see Marx being good for a Smash game personally. If you taking his moves from KSA, I'd find it a bit hard to make him not op.

I mean any playable character in KSA looks OP. That game has crazy easy AI. Of course Marx would be scaled down but still would be well represented. He’s Sakurai’s creation. Plus he has a ball that rolls around underneath him. What other character has that?! Cmon man! Bandana Dee’s spear is about good enough for an Assist Trophy spot. I’ll give it that. I say that’s good enough fan service. But like I’ve said already, I’d be shocked if here even is a 4th Kirby rep.

What i meant was. I feel Marx's moveset in particular would be a bit tough to tone down. Like his ball drop. (Down Ariel) or Laser and stuff like that.
It could just be me. I just don't really feel he meets the categories to be a smash fighter. that's not saying i don't want him in. I do, but i just feel it'd be a bit hard to transfer his moves into smash.

Well Sakurai has pulled off some miracles before. Here’s hoping for another one if Marx gets in.

If Sakurai can find a way to make him work. then i have no issue with Marx getting in

This little guy DOES deserve a change to Smash!

So I was thinking about how to show support for some of my most wanted fighters, and what better way than to make some art of them? So here's my support for Marx! https://imgur.com/a/geePudn

 

[Hypernovaguy64]

While Bandana Dee is currently my most wanted Kirby rep, followed by Magolor, Marx would be an interesting choice! I used to hate him when I was younger, but after they handled him in Star Allies, he's quite the character.
I personally just feel that Kirby could use more representation at this point. As deep as its lore goes, as many characters that join the cast, and as one of Nintendo's best-selling franchises, it stokes me to see this many people agree that it's time for Kirby to receive a new fighter.

The only thing that I'm concerned about is how he hasn't been shown to be relevant since Super Star. However, that didn't stop one of my other wanted characters, K. Rool from showing up once again! Relevancy doesn't really matter anymore, does it?

I still support Bandana Dee as my most wanted newcomer, but I'd love to be added to the Marx support list as well!

 

[Vermilion]

Aaaaaand Marx is still my most wanted.

 

[Cabbagehead]

You can go ahead and count me as a supporter! Marx is, hands down, my most-wanted Kirby character.

 

[Bandanna_Waddle_Dee]

Took a shot at what I think Marx's palette swaps would be. I struggled a bit with the last one, so I feel like that could be easily changed. But on that note, add me to that juicy support list! He'd definitely be a fun and wacky addition.

I really like the Mirror one! Nice job.

Another Kirby rep would be a dream and Marx is the man, add me to that supporters list

The moveset possibilities!

 

[Deleted member]

Marx is a solid idea for a Kirby rep in my honest opinion. But I do think he's a bit on the overrated side in some ways when it comes to support. The only reason people are clamoring for it as strongly as they are now is because of the Dream Friends in Star Allies. Which came out this year, long after the roster for Ultimate was decided upon.

It's made worse by that also being the cause of claims like "Bandana Dee is just a Goomba with a hat" to become as prominent as they are nowadays. It's a total case of people supporting one character and then jumping ship and completely contradicting themselves once another option comes out of nowhere too late.

But all in all, I would be happy if Marx became playable. So you can call me a supporter.

*puts on hipster glasses* I'll have you know I wanted Marx to be playable in Smash bros WAY before it was cool.

seriously though I've wanted him since brawl, please gib mashpotato samurai

I honestly just feel it's time for another Kirby character this time around. The series has more to represent than just the "big three".

I thought about Marx being added when Smash 4 was announced, but he hadn't made any big appearances since Super Star/Ultra that I dismissed the fact. Now it seems that he has a chance for at least DLC.

Believe me I'm aware there are people who wanted Marx years before Star Allies. But there are a lot of people who are only just suddenly clamoring for him and dismissing Bandanda Dee's chances despite being totally on board for him before hand.

I wish those fans could support a character without tearing another down. Waddle Dee is cute character that has been the "fourth" party member for a while now, but I also want a final boss like Marx and Magolor. Nightmare, Dark Matter, and Zero would make good assists.

Personally, I don't see why we couldn't get two more Kirby reps at most.

 

[Keto]

Marx is my #1 pick for a newcomer. I'll main him even if he's terrible. He needs to be in.

I see Bandana dee more of a Toad with a headlamp

And that was befor star allies was a thing,

Marx really needs to be in Smash. He's the coolest Kirby villain. I support!

 

[AirMac1]

I obviously support Marx. Please Mr.sakurui please

Professor Lexicovermis

Just pinging you to request my name be added upon the Marx Support Thread's audience, a bit odd that it'd seem I'd be in a few support threads but not the one of my absolute most wanted.

Thanks in advance.

 

[FalconFire93]

If he has a moveset similar to how he plays in Star Allies, I definitely would love to see him in the game.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Marx is the best choice for a Kirby rep IMO.

 

[NineS]

Count me for a Marx supporter. Communism is a little dated, though...
I prefer him over Magolor and Waddle Dee by far. He's a classic antagonist, an one of the only Kirby Villains who did it for the fun of it. Not to mention, his moves all seem so dynamic, and flashy. Far more fun than the kind you'd see from those other two big Kirby characters. Not to mention, it's hard to not love this guy's evil eyes.

... I just hope the spike in popularity Kirby Star Allies gave him again as playable lends a hand, if not base game, at least DLC.

 

[Keto]

Was Marx shown to be a Spirit? I didn't see him there. There's hope he's DLC!

Marx and Bandanna Dee are the only major requests with no shown spirits, that being said, K Rool has a Spirit so ANYONE with a Spirit can still be in.

I mean if Kirby has to rescue a version of himself riding a Robobot armor, then anything is possible.

 

[OptimisticStrifer]

I wonder who you would fight for Marx's spirit. Lemmy Koopa + Soccer Ball Item?

 

[PeridotGX]

I would assume a Purple Kirby that favors kick attacks. Maybe give it infinite usage of the Black Hole item.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Marx made it on the banner even though he isn't from this DLC. Adeleine did too/

Just goes to show Nintendo knows how popular these characters are

Now if you could just make it to DLC, Marx.

That's really cool to see. I hope that means they won't get swept under the rug again. One of my biggest problems with the series has always been how they ignored their older characters and I don't want to see it go back to that.

Also Taranza hype. I need this DLC now.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Apparently Marx still hasn't been seen as a spirit!

...that could change at any moment...

But all his competition has been seen.

Could we get our boy?

 

[Flaxr XIII]

Spirits don't deconfirm and I doubt they planned that far ahead if the DLC roster was finalized only recently. It would have been a huge oversight to leave out a Marx spirit.

 

[verysleepywolf]

Marx is still my personal choice for a new Kirby character. Dee is a monster to compete with in terms of popularity, but Marx is just that epic kind of dark, psychadelic badass. Without Skull Kid, I need a colorful, helldimensional imp in some form.

Marx does appear as a spirit. They're really on a roll today with this stuff.

Seen at 5:10:

Spirits don't deconfirm characters

 

[MasterWarlord]

If spirits deconfirm characters we exclusively have 3rd parties and currently unreleased first party characters like Roy/Corrin/Greninja to look forward to.
