I was rather shocked that Morbid was the only one who even approached saying something negative about this.
To me, he looks the same as he does in the games.
I'll flip my s* if either Falco or Captain Falcon are revealed on that day... To me, those characters ARE Smash...
I'm pretty sure they're pulling from all sources to make this Dedede, the obvious example of this is Dedede's closed eyes here look exactly like they did in Dreamland 3
What're you talking about, looks like he always did to me. In fact that kimono of his visually separates him from the anime version.
Probably not. None of the extra Sonic and Toon Link pics we got back in November from the UK Nintendo Facebook page were ever used on the official site.
Capt. Falcon makes sense. He's typically one of, if not the most popular fighter in the series; and with no new game on the horizon he's going to pop up at some point.
Yes, the kimono is different. But his face is so clearly not from any Kirby game. Several of his expressions in 4 go very much against how he is in his actual games (ex: his post Super-Jump landing animation). Look at that video I hyperlinked before and here, you can clearly see a stylistic difference, with SSU being far superior.
We'll finally put an end to the debate about sheik being a girl or a guy! Oh, you meant Samus' zero suit... er.... of course, what else could you mean?
I'd also like to say I know where Dedede's damaged face comes from.
The more you know.
You do realize that Rosalina's hair bang covers her right eye, right?
Ah. That's a problem. I'll switch WFT and Rosalina.
Nah, it's not the first time a bunch of pics are shown through Facebook and then they don't return on Miiverse updates.
It's not bad but you should change the background with something more generic because it's really odd to see characters walking on nothing.
He mirrored the Rosalina pic
Yes but the low res background brings more attention to the characters.
That's what I mean. Rosalina isn't supposed to be mirrored, since her hair bang always covers her right eye. With Mario, mirroring him is pretty much okay.
Maybe the rest of us realize that it really isn't a big deal. ¦D
I love this. Especially since Mario, Sonic and Mega Man are all in the middle together. <3
I made a banner for the OP. I can update it whenever a challenger approaches/
I made a post about this in one of the Dedede-threads in SSB4 character forum but since the debate's here too how Dedede should look like...
From what I've seen, Dedede is so far a huge mix of all his past depictions, put into parts that bring out best of his personality. I made a run-down analysis in Tumblr about what all designs SSB4's Dedede seems to be inspired of and how it differs from Brawl:
- First of all, you might notice that his pupils has been made smaller from the Brawl-self, which makes him look more goofier, reminiscent of his character art from the earliest Kirby-games. This seems to do more justice to his goofy-looking appearance and grin:
- Compared to Brawl Dedede who had more googlier and cutified eyes, which seems to make him look like his Super Star-version (and to some extent modern look). Like we all seem to agree now, it makes him look less expressive and alive than his SSB4-self.
- Many agree that he has very mischievous and brashy expressions that make him look reminiscent of his Kirby Anime-self. This does great justice to his personality and gives him lots of life:
- Once again, Sakurai didn't leave even the little bits of details out when considering "how would Dedede look when his eyes are shut?" - In SSB4 when dazed, Dedede closes his eyes in same style as when possessed by Dark Matter in Kirby's Dreamland 2 and 3.
(Loving the dizzy star touch-up btw)
- I let this speak for itself:
I'm just amazed by the sheer faithful presentation put on these characters. SSB4 has never looked so good with all the color and expressiveness with all these character... meanwhile being an easter eggs pertaining to character design and presentation while at it. It's incredible.
Sakurai, big damn kudos to you. He just can't stop staying as one of my biggest inspiration models. (aggravating choices withstanding)
I found similar pictures to compare the two. Although more realistic, I do think that, besides the kimono, you see a bit of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! in his design. Except more detailed. I'd also like to say I know where Dedede's damaged face comes from.
The more you know.
very likely we get something I mean he will probably never resist revealing something for a anniversary of one of his own games (well sortof im sure he dident reveal something for pit nes anniversary)
Did someone say something? I heard a voice but don't see anyone.......OH Kellam you scared me!
*sigh*Did someone say something? I heard a voice but don't see anyone.......OH Kellam you scared me!
Dude stahp, does it really matter? I'm a big time Kirby fan and I love what they did with Dedede. He's a goofy character so it'd be better to give him goofier expressions (which are usually more easily expressed in an anime format).

That wasn't a criticism, I was just annoyed by several people saying something that was clearly incorrect, followed by "the more you know."
Yea I don't know if those pics are actual gameplay but in gameplay fox looks extremely similar to brawl unless you're actually looking for how they changed him. But still all characters look different just some more than others. Yea they changed the colors on Mario and Luigi. With Pikachu they just made his nose smaller. But yea I see your point.
The heads look extremely different to me.
Greatly reduced photo-realism. Looks less arthritic.
Pikachu is the same, just cuter.
Chrom would be hype but tingle would haunt my dreams
