That's why I think the most productive conversation is to talk stages and Assist Trophies. We all know that Great Cave Offensive and GB Dream Land were pretty silly picks in juxtaposition with the recent developments the series had made. A Nightmare AT that does nothing but make the screen dark is lame. Kirby's music could be better, but it feels like they've at least attempted to mend their shortcomings here. If we got a couple modern stages, like Lor Starcutter, and an AT for Magolor or something then this conversation would look much different.Part of the issue is the (seeming?) lack of more significant non-Sakurai Kirby elements in Smash makes BWD not being playable look worse than it really merits. Most probably would simply conclude he lacked major significance until recently but that backdrop of perceived Sakurai bias with all things Kirby related in Smash colors a lot of perceptions, fairly or unfairly.
Which is to say I understand why people are so sore about it, but it really has nothing to do with Bandana Dee. Once we start nitpicking the roster about it, it feels like less of a problem. I'd love a couple more Kirby characters too but Kirby / Dedede / Meta Knight is a perfectly fair lineup for Brawl -> Ultimate.
