That one's a little weird though because most of them are dubiously cannon (or split copies of Kirby). After that there's Meta Knight, who's species is used as a point of intrigue, Shadow Kirby, which is just Kirby again, and Keeby, a P2 character who was dropped almost immediately and didn't even reappear for Star Allies.

Some.
45, young blood.
Let's just say I have an unfortunate timing of entering the Social thread at the wrong time. Which just feels like a lot lately. I mean, understandably it's a social thread, which means it's far more common for some of the people there to be in a bad mood, but it always feels like it's hard to say something positive whenever I come by and look.
I try to find a way to tie whatever I’m talking about to Smash. Like I’m watching the Fallout show so I tried to ask relevant Smash related questions about the potential of the series in Smash. I finally beat Metaphor and wanted to talk about that so I tied that into asking about Will in Smash. I think as long as you tie the topic into Smash somehow, it’s fine to talk about other things that you’re interested in. I do it all time.
all of them
I'm 27 and i've been speculating on smash forums since like 2011. I think i'll be 60 and still be speculating about Smash in forums, telling the younguns about the good old days of Ultimate Fighter Pass Speculation when we though KOS-MOS was going to be revealed in TGA 2019, altrough though that's probably because im neurodivergent and not much social life, i don't expect it to be the norm among 60 yo xD.
In general it confuses me when people say theres multiple kirbies as other then meta knight and the other knight and shadow kirby everyone else is either Minigame/ Barely canon spinoff only or the three splitted of kirbys from amazing mirror!
Can I take a moment to say that BWD was named specifically because he was made to be an elevated mook rather than his own character? During an interview for Star Allies, Kumazaki had this to say:
Bandanna Dee has always been something of an odd character in that he was developed without ever really intending for him to be his own character in the first place. Heck, even when he was made playable in Returns to Dreamland, he was still just referred to as just a Waddle Dee, and Bandanna Waddle Dee was just a fan nickname that stuck around and became cannon.Shinya Kumazaki (translated in DeepL) said:
27 years old and still ok with smash bros discussions
I agree but I think they should ditch the “Waddle” officially and at least let the dude be Bandana Dee. It doesn’t matter all that much but seeing BWD written out officially is still kind of a mouthful (finger…ful?), and that’s what everyone already calls him anyway.
I'm 24 years old myself, being born in December 2000.
I don't think Kirby's species has ever been given a name, we just call the Kirbies for simplicities' sake. Also helps that, as you said, there isn't any other members of his kind without ambiguity or strings attatched, so as far as we know the Kirby "species" could just be Kirby and that's it.
I'm 19. I grew up with the Wii. As far as Smash spec goes I'm a baby
Yeah, Mags is definitely the most prominent character after the RtDL foursome. He doesn't show up enough to be considered part of the core cast, but he's popped up in other games from time to time and even had an Extra Mode and character arc to himself in RtDL DX. Most characters in this series show up for a game or two and then get relegated to cameos until Star Allies. Having any sort of staying power in Kirby goes a long way.
Yeah, it’s hard to wrap my head around the age differences sometimes. So many of the games I’m nostalgic for from when I was younger were released over a decade before some here were even born. I think the biggest example is RARE and their previous history with Nintendo. Unless you’re a dinosaur like me, you probably won’t have any memory of RARE’s games on Nintendo. It goes beyond that to anything that was popular on the NES and SNES that isn’t really still relevant now. I feel like I was born at a convenient time for gaming (and just gaming) that I got to experience every era of Nintendo while it was new.
Tell me your stories from the ancient past, grandpa

I think the Dojo was the best prerelease hype cycle for any game ever. It’s a shame we can’t really get something like that again. Ultimate’s picture of the day thing wasn’t nearly as engaging.I'm 32 years old. I have loved Smash speculation since the Brawl days and I won't stop anytime soon. I still remember checking the Dojo back in 2007 and being hyped beyond belief when this popped up on a random day:
****, these were better times.I'm 32 years old. I have loved Smash speculation since the Brawl days and I won't stop anytime soon. I still remember checking the Dojo back in 2007 and being hyped beyond belief when this popped up on a random day:
31 gew up with original pokemon Mario 64 and smash bros 64 at 5.
it was a good day all round. I used to check the updates at school the videos never played on their computers so I had to wait until I got home to see his video which got me hyped all over againI'm 32 years old. I have loved Smash speculation since the Brawl days and I won't stop anytime soon. I still remember checking the Dojo back in 2007 and being hyped beyond belief when this popped up on a random day:
Steve was probably the only other character that had the similar amount of hype or at least people being surprised.
It makes sense plenty of Older Millenials and Gen X were around speculating about Smash Bros. in the internet during the pre-Brawl days even, also begin in your 40s yo isn't even that old, so it makes sense they're still there.
You didn't check them in the morning before school?
When I first saw this, I got so excited, I actually went outside and walked up and down my street. lolI'm 32 years old. I have loved Smash speculation since the Brawl days and I won't stop anytime soon. I still remember checking the Dojo back in 2007 and being hyped beyond belief when this popped up on a random day:
Why would Bluey ever be added to Smash? I know the show is popular, but-
Nope. I’ve never been much of an early riser
I was like 9 when the DOJO was updating and i was a PS2 kid back then so i didn't experiencie it and i'm not even sure i was aware Smash Bros. even existed at the time lol, still i think i looks like a really fun way to do a videogame pre-release cycle and keep the community engaged, i hope not just Smash 6, but more games do a similar pre-release cycle as the Smash Bros. DOJO!I'm 32 years old. I have loved Smash speculation since the Brawl days and I won't stop anytime soon.

I feel like changes made lot of them similar to each other in terms of function.
I remember a time when Solid Snake showed up during the E3 trailer:I'm 32 years old. I have loved Smash speculation since the Brawl days and I won't stop anytime soon. I still remember checking the Dojo back in 2007 and being hyped beyond belief when this popped up on a random day:
I'm 19 turning 20, so imagine how I feel lol.
I feel that lol. I went back to read some posts I made on a old account from Ultimate speculation, and it's best left buried.
1. Hell no. It just makes all of them feel repetitive, along with sucking out all of the creativity.
