I'm not assuming because they look alike, I'm assuming because they have such a similar bodyshape, and the fact that Dixie has so few things that could differentiate her. Her hair could help yeah, but unless they use that for every single attack, which I have a lot of difficulty believing, I find it hard to believe that Sakurai wouldn't port over most of Diddy's non-special moves, all of which she could easily do.
just because a character has a similar body shape doesn't mean they will be clones yes in the past that has happened but not only has Sakurai gotten better with the whole clone thing we can't really predict what he will do at one time he said Villager would not be playable in smash then changed his mind
we shouldn't try and follow patterns they change
Dixie Kongs hair can be used for almost all her moves japanese love characters that use hair as a weapon (there is like almost always a hair controlling character in every shonen manga)

I know Kiddy Kong isn't the most popular character, but aside from gluing her to Diddy, which almost no one wants to see happen, he's the only way we could feasibly see a DKC-style partner character happen. It's either Kiddy or she goes solo, and I'd feel like a partner character would be much more unique than post-salon Diddy.
if they are having problems putting the Ice Climbers in Smash then why would they add another Dou

Oh wow, so I cant like HAVE A DIFFERENT ONION THEN EVERYBODY ELSE?!?!?! Hows this then - "MUH Earthbound is the greatest game I EVER played!!!1" Seriously, WHY can't I have a different opinion than you? Why?!

Hey I'm sorry I offended you but sometimes you offend me, you know? I mean, I don;t mean it or anything but sometimes my opinions and your opinions aren't the same, so we argue about it and ****. So yeah again I'm no trying to offend you like Tumblr said I'm just trying to disagree with you. Let's learn to disagree not argue. :urg:

You don't even have to go on after that. That is basically what makes a character become a clone.


He's made others that would take the cake.
Disagreeing with you is not the same thing as being hypocritical (of the century (says Habanero)), Noah. it's called having a different opinion. Learn to live with DIFFERENT OPINIONS.

There are PLENTY of characters I would rather see before Dixie. In all honesty, she's one of the characters that I actually would prefer not seeing in this game, which is rare for me, since at this point in Smash, I really don't care who gets in. As long as they are interesting and fun to play as, I'm totally fine, but something about Dixie just...doesn't settle with me very well, and I cannot seem to put my finger on why...

With Metal Mario warranting enough differences to rival Dr. Mario, he'd make a good WTF character. Although a Mario clone that isn't Dr. Mario would suck.

Sooo... do you guys think we will get Lucario or Mega-Lucario for Smash 4?
Mega Mewtwo Y as a Final Smash is the ONLY thing I see us getting in terms of Mega Evolutions.

I understand, though I would be fine with Dixie in the game. And I find her more likely than King K. Hasn't Had Work in Years Rool. But I'd rather have K. Rool. He screams Smash. Actually, both of them scream Smash.

Glad you took by advice for once. Agree to disagree.

I cannot however live in a world with different onions. I like my onions to be crunchy and sour.
Ignoring Noah J. Linderer's off topic ramblings........

I would be pretty dissapointed if Dixie Kong got in over King Kr Rool. I mean COME ON all she is is Diddy Kong with hair. King K Rool on the other hand is more unique and diverse because he has a different body shape, height, and weight. We don''t have enough of that. I fully support King K Rool over Dixie Kong because I don't want JUST ANOTHER semi-clone... I want something special. That's why I want King K Rool. :smirk:

But of course... what I want isn't what Skaurai wants. Oh well. :glare:

Isn't that why the Fire Emblem thread exists?
It exists to drive people to the brink of insanity and severe depression.

Anyway, to answer Scatman's question, I think we will see regular Lucario. Maybe get Mega Lucario as his new Final Smash, though it'd be redundant if both Lucario and Mewtwo got their Megas as final smashes.

Let's use that logic with other characters!

Ahem...

Lucas is just Ness with stylish hair

Luigi is just Green Mario

Wolf is just tall blue Fox

regardless they all had their uniqueness. Besides Dixie can't use the barrel Jetpack.

At least it would be only two Final Smashes... *looks at Landmaster*

B-but... I thought that was important.

Honestly, Lucas is a classier-looking Ness. Dat suave hair.

I like your roster, though. Might I ask, though, why have Samus and ZSS as different character slots? It doesn't make sense. Just make them together on the roster screen like how Zelda and Sheik did. It would give you another slot, like for Starfy or someone I would enjoy, like Mona or Ashley.[/quote]

Dixie is more likely to show up.
K. Rool would be much more interesting to play as.
I'd much rather see K. Rool, but I'm thinking a 3rd DK character would end up being Dixie.

On the topic of Dixie, I personally wouldn't mind her getting in over K. Rool. I'd prefer K. Rool, but I support them both and personally I want BOTH of them in, but I don't see that as likely. The chances that NEITHER of them get in is very low.

K. Rool has more potential, but Dixie does have potential as well, and enough for her own slot. Plus, Diddy Kong players would likely have to change their strategy no matter how they are paired together as one. It's not a good idea to change a character that way. Though it could be argued that it wouldn't be a good idea to drastically change clones for players that use clone characters, though most players to my knowledge would prefer a more Luigi-fied Toon Link, while there isn't much want for Dixie to be paired up with Diddy to my knowledge.

I view Dixie as more likely than K. Rool at this point, but there is still a fair chance that K. Rool will get in based on his popularity and potential.


I personally think they both deserve to get in, but I understand why most others prefer K. Rool.

Like picking between vomit and crap.
Chrom. It's like puking on a pile of ****. (this is actuall a good discussion: Would Sakurai turn down IS's reaquest to add Chrom because he's heavy Marth?) and yes I'm aware of all those abilities he has and I don't think Sakurai would care IMO.

I can touch the Ocean from here.
Can I just take this out of nowhere moment to comment on how much I appreciate that Sonic and Mega Man are different shades of blue? I was worried they'd be the same, but Mega Man has a faint green tint that separates from Sonic.

Am I alone? Probably? Yes?

Okay, carry on :)

Okay I'll add to the discussion:
I would not like to see three Fire Emblem characters all with blue hair. :awesome: I'm mostly kidding haha
