TBH if they wanted to they could have a Returns stage playable and occasionally freeze it over to reference DKCTF. With Sakurai having a Mario Galaxy 1&2 stage and NSMBU stage I wouldn't be surprised if they combined the last 2 DK games.
Because it means they are putting a decent amount of love into the Donkey Kong franchise and drawing from all parts of the series and not just recent titles. Technically, though, Chunky probably helps K. Rool more than Dixie, because at least Dixie is playable in most games already and was in Tropical Freeze, too. K. Rool appeared in earlier games and hasn't been the main villain of a DK game since before Brawl.
I wonder if we will see a Tropical Freeze stage... it would be a nice departure from every other DK stage, and it would be perfect for a Dixie reveal.
Yeah, from a gameplay perspective, she is my favorite character in the series. I barely used Diddy or Kiddy in DKC2 and DKC3.
This has been indicated by several people. One person didn't recognize the character, but thought he resembled DK, and the descriptions of what he does are the same: pounds the ground and bananas fall from the sky.
Resembles DK? Well, the only Kong who resembles DK closely is Funky. He looks like DK but with a tanktop and jeans shorts.
They said that, someone responded "sounds like Funky Kong," and after showing picks, the guy who saw it indicated it actually was Chunky. And we had someone else who also said they saw Chunky Kong.
Or both. I wouldn't be at all surprised if both are secret characters. Dixie Kong has a lot of potential with her hair, but her moveset might feel similar to Diddy anyway, so she'd probably be somewhat close to Diddy. Without a jetpack, naturally. Ideally I'd like both, but either one is fine by me.
I'm in agreement. I'm thinking that right now, K. Rool and Dixie were both planned. K. Rool might get higher priority due to greater popularity, but Dixie is probably right behind him, and if she's not finished by release, she'll be DLC later. That's my theory. I don't think its a "K. Rool vs. Dixie" situation, but more "one of them first, and if we have time, we'll get the other one too."
Silhouette stage anyone?
That would be AWESOME
I think it's likely real, but I want to see video confirmation before I fully accept it. Everyone who reported it had a similar story, even those who didn't know who he was (looks like DK with shirt and hat, slams the ground, bananas fall from the top of the screen). Hopefully tomorrow will give us the confirmation we need.
Enguarde couldn't appear except on a stage in the water. If there's a stage with water in it, we could see Enguarde appear there. I'd like a couple other recurring Animal Buddies as AT's, too, namely Rambi, Squitter, and Squawks.
Two more days. E3's almost here!
Up Tilt
Dixie's UpTilt involves her body facing us as she shuffles gracefully left to right or vice versa. She literally tilts; as she does so her hair sways with her to whack opponents above her, behind her and in front of her to move them around. It has great range and its effective at crowd control, but it has little knockback and by extension no real killing power. It is however good for disrupting aerial approaches and those that are too close as it displaces them, and if a foe's damage is substantial they'll be swept around through the whole animation instead of part of it. It's best to use this on airborne targets as they'll typically get stirred more than grounded opponents, who are more likely to get smacked depending on where they are, how close they are to Dixie and what stage her attack's in. It's generally a carrying attack. She'll always start the move from behind where she's facing; this is good to for getting those who rolled around her.
This is the attack's layout. At position 1, she starts the move and foes directly above as well as those beside her get hit and swept to position 2. Grounded opponents who got hit during position 1 will be swept and usually left here. Airborne victims likely won't. At P2, new victims both grounded and aerial will be whacked and likely carried with the airborne victims of P1 and swung to P3 where the attack ends. From this point, victims will either hit the ground or be chucked forward a bit, especially if their damage % is EXTREMELY high. Enemies who make contact at P3 will simply get whacked and pushed back. They only take damage ranging from average to below average from this move at these 3 points. Good for displacement, close-quarters crowd control or setting up the Forward Tilt or Forward Smash (COMING SOON).
The move's not too hard to get around; just roll/dodge/avoid at the right moments and you'll have plenty of time to attack. Whaddya think?
She needs the extra support!
What?
No problem. I'll let Venus know. Dixie can always use more supporters.I hope that Dixie Kong is playable! I really do support her, and even more when I found out she was planne for SSBB! Could someone add me to the supporters' list please?
Yeah she's relevant like Mewtwo (and he was planned to be playable Brawl), whom got a big appearance in the X and Y games. Dixie also has a major new game to go with her, it's probably why I'm so confident in Dixie being playable.
She was in last game's forbidden 7. That would certainly suck for her to be a last minute cut two games in a row.
Relevancy doesn't matter considering how the Kremlings are in Smash Run. Plus Tropical Freeze probably came too late to help Dixie, not that it matters since relevancy doesn't matter much anyway. Dixie is a central character to the DK franchise. That's all we need really.
