After all the Echo discussion I figured i'd make this.
Who Is Dark Metaknight?
Who Is Dark Metaknight?
Dark Metaknight is the Mirror World version of Metaknight, first seen in the GBA Kirby game "The Amazing Mirror" as an antagonist who meddles with Kirby in two big boss battles one of which he poses as Metaknight to attempt to fool Kirby. He's much more pragmatic than the original, and has no sense of knightly honor. Willing to ambush and fool his opponents. He doesn't even offer Kirby a sword before they fight, what a jerk!
His attacks mirror (hah) Metaknights for the most part in his debut, besides having a stronger version of his tornado attack being able to use it as a projectile almost in a hurricane form.
He'd later appear in Triple Deluxe as a super boss, with several suped up attacks. Tricks that Metaknight never employed such as Mach Tornados from the background, swords that fly up from the ground, and even splitting into mirror copies.
In Star Allies he finally becomes playable and has moves based on the Mirror Copy power, which is pretty cool.

Why Dark Metaknight?
Echo Fighters seem to be more plentiful than we first expected. Dark Metaknight while not the most popular choice does have a decent fandom, and would be fairly easy to create. That along with the seeming Hero & Villain focus this game has. He'd be an actual clear villain from Kirby instead of the more anti heroic Metaknight or the Neutral Dedede.Dark Halves of characters tend to also be fairly popular in media in general, Dark Metaknight would likely make people more curious about his outings and Star Allies introducing him recently as a playable character. Which also has put him more in the public eye of late (doubtful that would contribute to his getting in or not). His chances are well kind of unknown as of right now, but I wouldn't put it past Sakurai to include the guy as an Echo. If Bandana Waddle Dee got in, Dark Metaknight might have a shot to appear alongside him in the trailer, despite them being fairly unrelated besides being in the same franchise.
His main competition would be Galaxia Knight.
Stock Icons thanks to

He has a very awesome battle theme that they could put in as well.
