New Kirby Hats Speculation

[Sol_Vent]

Kinda off subject, but why people keep calling her "WTF"....shouldn't it be "WFT"?

Both are equally valid.

I believe it's because she's the WTF (What the F***) character, and it's close to her initials.

 

[APC99]

Do you mean to get the abilites of the Assist Trophy characters and Pokemon?
I highly doubt that, it would take a lot of time to program and make the items almost useless on Kirby. He would be kind of broken.

True, true... Maybe it's just because I want to see Kirby latch onto people's heads and paralyze them like a Metroid...

LOL! That would be hilarious.
There actually were Metroids that appeared as enemies in one level of Kirby's Dreamland 3, but sadly couldn't be inhaled for it's ability.

Nah, WTF is perfectly fine.

 

[Vinylic.]

It's like calling the xbox one the xbone.

Anyways, gray ponytail is still possible.

 

[APC99]

I'll interrupt again...

Ridley: Basically ridley's upper jaw and head, wings and a tail. Can shoot fireballs. Like ridley, they'd work best in air.

Pac-Man: Gains a hat with Pac-Man's Pac-World eyes and nose. he can open his mouth in a very Pac-Man-like manner and perform Chomp.

Baby Mario & Baby Luigi: This is my creative idea. Since they both have hats like M & L, Kirby splits into 2 Little Kirbys from Mass Attack, each with their own hat. It would be the same moves and same damage, except with more hitboxes and quicker & lighter attacks. They would swing around a Chain Chomp.

Dixie Kong: Beret & ponytail. He spits out bubble gum bubbles.

 

[extremechiton]

This, except with a Mega Buster.

i dont think kirby will get the buster, cuz when he swallows samus, he doesnt get the arm cannon.

 

[Sinn]

Yeah, this has been my thinking too.

 

[ryuu seika]

People keep saying the wii fit trainer's ponytail is what Kirby'll get or that his skin'll go white but when I look at WFT the first thing I see is that her shading style is totally different. I see no reason why a flat pastel Kirby couldn't represent her without losing his original colours or picking up a bad hairdo.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

Why can't we get the best of both worlds for WFT? A blue Wii Fit themed sweatband and her full head of grey hair with ponytail. For Mega Man he would have his helmet and for Villager he would have his hairdo with triangle nose.

Now for some speculative cast members:

Chrom: His hairdo.
King K. Rool: A hat with King K. Rool's eyes and his signature crown on top.
Little Mac: His hair with training helmet and two green, sizeable boxing gloves on his nubs.
Magnus: His hairdo with his dragon tattoo going down the side of his body.
Krystal: Her hair and ears with that gem she wears around her forehead.
Bayonetta: Her hair from Bayonetta 2 and her glasses.
Dillon: A cowboy hat with two armadillo ears pointing out from their sides.
Walhart: His grey hair with red horned crown.
Ghirahim: His fringed hair with red and yellow eyes with shadow and an altered version of his scarf where it goes over his back as a cape.

 

[God Robert's Cousin]

People seem to be forgetting about Zelda's hat being Young Zelda's hat from Ocarina of Time. Sweatband for WFT makes perfect sense and is certainly more creative than just her hair.

More speculative members:

Paper Mario: A red paper hat with Mario's 'M' on one of sides.
Bowser Jr.: The monster-mouthed bib he and Nabbit are always seen wearing, along with a little red-head ponytail.
Toon Zelda: Her tiara and two of those little wing-things on each side of Kirby's head.
Tetra: Her tall, swirled hairdo.
Waddle Dee: His halmark blue-bandanna.
Samurai Goroh: The "rising sun" headband on his head with a pair of black glasses partially covering Kirby's eyes.
Masked Man: Either his helmet, or Claus' hairdo to avoid similarities to Mega Man.
Porky: A blonde bowl-cut completely covering both of Kirby's eyes.
Starfy: Three nubs growing out of his head to resemble Starfy's arms and head.
Isaac: The head of a Venus Djinn.
Andy: His black hairdo.
Takamaru: His dark-blue hairdo.
Saki: His long, blonde hair covering one of Kirby's eyes.

 

[☆Shine☆]

Mega man: Helmet & Mega Buster
Villager: Hair & Axe
Wii Fit Trainer: Hair

I think the more ridiculous part of Wii Fit's Kirby Hat would be Kirby attempting to do any move that requires normal human anatomy.
There is a 100% chance Kirby will have her hair and probably something else too, though.

Her specials appear to be bouncing a volley ball and creating some sort of flash of light, either of which sounds feasible with Kirby's body.

 

[FalKoopa]

creating some sort of flash of light,

Was it confirmed to be a special? I think it's a taunt...

 

[God Robert's Cousin]

It wasn't confirmed, but generally you don't see human-power characters like Marth or Wii Fit Trainer create magical balls of energy as a taunt if there's no trace of magical energy already in their moveset. I'd equate that to Pikachu having Rock Throw as a taunt, it's bizarre.

Either way, my point was that Kirby doesn't use her regular yoga attacks. Sakurai designs specials so that nothing is completely out of place when copied on Kirby. It's why things like Wario Waft and Rock Smash aren't mapped to being neutral specials.

 

[ToothiestAura]

Ah, well. That's less fun.

 

[Tepig2000]

Kinda off subject, but why people keep calling her "WTF"....shouldn't it be "WFT"?

Because she is the WTF character of this game.

Also, I think Kirby's hats will be like that:

Villager - Gets Villager's hair and nose, and the ability to collect items / projectiles
Megaman - Gets Megaman's hat and the ability to shot with a mega buster.
Wii Fit Trainer - His body turns white, he gets Wii Fit Trainer's hair and a shirt saying "Wii Fit".

 

[Yoichi Hiruma]

K. Rool:: Crown and Cape
Little Mac: Hair and glovves.

 

[Tepig2000]

For King K. Rool he should get a hat with eyes and nose like the ones of Pikachu and Yoshi.

 

[liets]

if anyone can give me a good enough, reasonable hat for ridley, i will like their post so hard that it will only appear to be a regular like

He gets a regular hat that just reads "2BIG"

 

[SuperBrawler]

What if when Kirby swallows Kirby, he gets a Kirby hat?

That would look hilarious

According to the Smash wiki, that's a yoga pose called Sun Salutation.

 

[Sonicguy726]

I'm willing to bet Villager's neutral is the slingshot and WFT's is the thing she does with the volleyball.
But then again, there isn't really a way of knowing.

I'm kind of hoping Villager's neutral B is the Pick-up move so that kirby can use it when he inhales him.

I think villager's B move is the bowling ball

A big question I have in regard to the Kirby hats is how they'll play out in the long run. It seems pretty clear that Mega-Man's blades are his neutral-B move, but from the videos I've seen there isn't exactly any specifications as to WFT's and Villager's neutral-Bs.

A Slingshot? A spade? The ability to snatch projectiles?
Some sort of yoga move? I'm excited to see how the Kirby hats play out for each new character though.

As for cosmetic hat designs I'd like to see the viking-like hat for the Villager. As for WFT there are a few different possibilities for that as well. I'd rather Kirby sport some sort of new exercise garb over developing the monotone mannequin shade color. I feel it'd be very similar to Kirby's black, and white color scheme. That's just me though.

Mega-Man's hat is kind of a given though.

I think villager's is the bowling ball and WFT is the volleyball

 

[Vann Accessible]

Would he look like this?

Incest humor.

Take that Alabama.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

If Kirby swallows Rosalina, he'll have her crown, but also her hair to make the cap different from the Peach cap.

Another interesting element with the Rosalina cap would be that Kirby gains almost all of Rosalina's attack abilities, including the ability to use a Luma himself. This does mean, however, that the Hammer, Final Cutter, and Stone moves can't be used until Kirby discards the Rosalina cap.

That would be cool, but since Kirby does not copy unique gimmicks, I think he will just command a Luma to attack.

That's probably what will give Kirby some problems. Rosalina's standard special apparently summons a Luma, so if Kirby mimics that move, he needs to be able to efficiently utilize the Luma in the same manner as Rosalina.

Rock Smash would work fine for Kirby and would be far preferable to just ripping off Bowser Kirby. Likewise, while I do not see Wario Waft as a viable Kirby move, I'd've liked to have seen him get a non-eating based move to replace his standard eating based move, Yoshi's eating based move or, y'know, Dedede's eating based move.
Quit being so unoriginal with your own character Sakurai!

That's probably what will give Kirby some problems. Rosalina's standard special apparently summons a Luma, so if Kirby mimics that move, he needs to be able to efficiently utilize the Luma in the same manner as Rosalina.

Rosalina Kirby will summon the Luma for a single attack, just like Olimar Kirby combines the pluck and throw moves from Olimar to avoid keeping the pikmin.

If that was the case it would probably be similar to Olimar and Pikmin where he uses it as a single attack instead of a moveset/gimmick like the original character did.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

If that was the case it would probably be similar to Olimar and Pikmin where he uses it as a single attack instead of a moveset/gimmick like the original character did.

That what troubling me the most, because the Luma could always be used to mimic Kirby's attack commands; something that he can't do with the Pikmin.

While it might be interesting for Kirby to copy a gimmick like that, I really don't see it working out that well. While Rosalina, more than likely, has her attacks adjusted to compensate for the extra Luma damage, Kirby does not. This could easily make Kirby pretty overpowered when copying Rosalina, and could lead to a fairly uneven match (in a 1v1 setting).

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Kirby will just B-air the little luma like he does with starfy B-AIR ALL DAY!

No seriously though I imagine the luma to be knocked back quite easily. Also, we all know kirby's just gonna chuck luma's/a single luma attack then it goes away.

B-AIR? What about that D-AIR, it's time to move on .

Btw.....What's happening, Smashboards is starting to shift and change. Oh no it's falling apart AHHHHHH!!!! *falls into internet*

PFFFT DOWN-AIR IS 4 SCURBS, DOWN-B IS WHERE ITS AT! get gud or don't talk at all.

Warchamp is fixing a few things, don't worry about it bro.

Oh ok, I thought Smashboards blew up again.

Real talk, D-air is amazing on Kirby. You can use it to lead into a smash attack, spike, and even follow up that spike with a footstool jump .

This could easily make Kirby pretty overpowered when copying Rosalina, and could lead to a fairly uneven match (in a 1v1 setting).

Not if in a shocking twist, Kirby's standard attacks are altered too. But that might be asking for too much, as that would mean making way more Kirby animations than what a character actually needs.

Maybe Kirby will just copy the special moves instead? It would be nice to see Kirby utilize Link's Boomerang again.
