Smash Switch Most Wanted Newcomer Bracket Challenge (Third-Party)- Game Over; Results Posted

[Sailor Waddle Dee]

Alas, poor Bandana Dee. you had a good run...

so, who else is excited to see the amazing Decidueye vs Dixie Kong final round, we all know this round will be a total landslide in their favor

well, here goes.

Game 1: King K. Rool vs Decidueye
King K. Rool
This choice kinda hurts since I like Decidueye, but out of the 2, King Kaptain Krusha Baron K Roolenstein deserves it more and feels like he'd offer more. plus I have fond memories of the classic DKC trilogy.

Game 2: Ridley vs Dixie Kong
Dixie Kong
let's go all in on the DKC love. I've never been a big Ridley supporter, despite his large importance in his series and massive fanbase. but he never made a huge impact on me. then again, I've never been a giant fan of the Metroid series, having only recently played the original. meanwhile DKC2 and 3 were among the most played games during my childhood on my SNES. and even though I preferred Diddy and Kiddy. Dixie's hair always came in handy. and with the addition of her bubble gum gun. she has plenty to work with for smash. plus, after having been playable in more (original) DKC games than the big ape himself, I think she deserves her spot. (I appologise for all the size jokes, I won't do that again.)

Wow, Ridley murdered my two most requested characters. Truly the destroyer of my hopes and dreams.

Well, at least their kid is going to become a bounty hunter and avenge their deaths right?
Sorry I'm terrible

 

[PreedReve]

I'll explain my reasoning for my votes, this time. >w>
Game 1: 1. Decidueye

Personally, I think Decidueye has more potential for uniqueness while maintaining gameplay similar to its native game.

Game 2: 1. Dixie Kong

I've never played a Metroid game and Ridley just doesn't titillate me enough... >x>

Yep! Matthew confirmed for Smash 5!

Yep! Matthew confirmed for Smash 5!

Matthew's mom is not Andy though.

 

[Ura]

Matthew's mom is not Andy though.

I thought you mean their individual kids no?

Because that would be stepping in to fanon territory.

I said "kid", not "kids".
And since K. Rool is probably gonna win the next round, it would mean he is their kid....

Spoiler: In case you didn't get the joke

it's a joke cuz Ridley killed Samus' parents.

 

[Marcello691]

I love Metroid and Pokemon but DKC is my favorite series of all Time, so I here's my vote:
Game 1: K.Rool
Game 2: Dixie Kong

I know lol. I was just joking if Matthew and whoever Andy's son is (if he ever did have one) became bounty hunters to avenge their fathers losses.

 

[GoodGrief741]

Well, every single character I voted for last round lost. That’s impressive in its own way.

Game 1: King K. Rool
He’s awesome, he’s been a long time coming, he’s unique, he’s got moveset potential, and he’s up against the latest bandwagon Pokémon? You bet he’s taking my vote.

Game 2: Dixie Kong
Really a pity vote, I love both Ridley and her, but at least Ridley will always have a place as a boss or stage hazard. Dixie really needs to put her foot in the door.

Anyway, looking forward to the big bad heavyweight showdown.

[Iko MattOrr]

Game 1: King K Rool

As I previously stated, I don't care of Pokèmon, I care less about Pokèmon than DK

Game 2: Ridley

This is a sad decision, I had to scrap Dixie because I already voted for K Rool, and I don't want to vote 2 DK characters. Aside of that, Ridley and Dixie are probably equally important and deserving; normally I would have voted Dixie because she does not have the issues of being too big nor being a flying dragon in a game where if you can fly you are safe; though, I'm going for Ridley for this special case. Anyway, realistically, I think that Dixie is very likely to be in the new Smash, and Ridley has a chance too, so they probably will be both in the final game (after the fan rage when Ridley was excluded, I think that they will find a way to make him playable). Dixie is basically the most obvious newcomer after the Inkling (that I already predicted to be in Smash 5 since it was revealed to be missing from Smash 4's DLCs).

Game 1: 1. King K. Rool
Game 2: 2. Dixie Kong
Love me some Donkey Kong Country. For such a phenomenal series, it could easily make use of a lot more love in Smash than it currently gets.

 

[Al-kīmiyā']

Game 1: 1. King K. Rool
Game 2: no vote

 

[Chihiro Fujisaki]

1. Decidueye
2. Ridley

edit: decided ridley would be more interesting than dixie kong on second thought so i'm no longer in a complete minority, woo.

 

[SethTheMage]

Game 1: K.Rool
Game 2: Dixie Kong

Good to see Dixie make it all the way here! Even if Ridley defeats her, I'm glad to see her in the top 4. Times sure have changed since Smash 4.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Decidueye and Ridley

I knew K rool would win this from the start since smashboards is an extra k rool based site but I didnt think Dixie would make it this far. Wonder if the former helped the latter lol

 

[FamicomDisk]

You had a good run, Isaac! I'm not really excited for any of the remaining four personally, but I'll keep on voting until the end!

Game 1: 1. Decidueye
Game 2: 2. Dixie Kong

I'm not voting for these two just because they're the underdogs, I just personally like them better than the big two.

[GolisoPower]

Both were super difficult! But I made my choice:

Game 1: King K. Rool
Game 2: Ridley

 

[Sage of Ice]

1. Decidueye
2. Ridley

this has been the easiest round of all for me

 

[MoonlitIllusion]

Decidueye and Dixie (Sorry rids)

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Game 1: 1. King K. Rool

Very surprised Dixie knocked Bandana Dee out, and it wasn't even all that close.

[CaptainAmerica]

Oh man I was scared for Riddles. Glad to see he pulled through, no offense to Isaac fans.

And this is no doubt the easiest set yet: K. Rool and Ridley for their respective rounds.

Good show, can’t wait for the final!

 

[SirCamp]

Game 1: 1. King K. Rool
Game 2: 2. Dixie Kong

Sad to see Isaac go, but it was expected tbh. I don't see it for Ridley but clearly I'm in the minority there.

Game 1: King K. Rool

In our hearts, I think we felt that it would come down to a rumble with the two big reptiles. Let this be a life lesson.

[PrinceGal3n]

Game 1: King K. Rool
Game 2: Ridley

I am glad to see these well deserving villains made it to the top of the heap. They had some great competition for sure, but they both represent something that is sorely needed in Smash Bros, primary villains and lengthy history.

 

[TheFritzle]

Game 1: King K. Rool
Game 2: Ridley

It will be interesting to see who makes it out of round 6 alive.

 

[FunAtParties]

I was hoping for a Waluigi and Isaac upset, but oh well
