Can you explain to me why Bandana Dee would be a good choice for a character?

I don't really think he'd be, but he's got his little spear, I guess?

He seems more like assist material to me, honestly.

I sure said that!

Magolor could work but I honestly can't imagine him using physical attacks, unless they go the Mega Man route with him.

Because Bandana Dee is the king of style and masculinity.

Few people have just recognized his powers yet.

Bandanna Dee is the fourth main playable character as is. I want to see a spear user, and he seems like he has a better chance than a Shy Guy to be playable at this point(and also is more defined than a purely generic enemy, regardless of awesome moveset potential, which neither lack).

I would not mind seeing him, but I think some series could use more characters before Kirby. F-Zero, especially. If not the main one, as the rest at least have gotten multiple characters that have enough unique choices to do so. Pikmin could potentially get another one, but that's about it. Everything else?(well, before 4 anyway) They have done fairly well. And discounting 3rd Party, of course.

Bandanna Dee is in the same boat as Toad to me: he's "notable" in the sense that he's appeared in recent games, but I'm struggling to think of a good way to make him stand out. Yeah I know Sakurai has continually shown how great of a job he can do with unique movesets, but at the same time both Bandanna Dee and Toad are basically glorified mooks.

F-Zero has a lot of characters that are unique in design, but as a racing franchise F-Zero gives very little in terms of moveset potential. Captain Falcon gets by by supposedly taking his moveset from the original alpha idea for Smash Bros. The rest of the characters aren't as lucky.

Mighty Gazelle would be fairly interesting with his mostly robotic body, though. It's so cute watching him bouncing around on the spot.

Sakurai didn't say Ridley is too big, he said he might have been somewhat slow, and that was long after the whole "Ridley is too big" meme started. That mostly started from arguments on GameFAQs back in Brawl's early information days.

Anyway, hope the Tharja rumor isn't true, because if so ick. Of all the playable cast in Awakening I'd hope they don't pick my least favorite one in the game. Henry's probably a better pick as far as Dark Mages go anyway.

There is still the possibility of her being an assist trophy, though.

Unlike most glorified mooks, Bandanna Dee has a lot of moves to draw from, and is the most recent playable character in Kirby.

I want to see Galacta Knight before Bandanna Dee, though.

I'd prefer Marx if we're getting a Kirby newcomer at all. He's the villain that most matches the Kirby aesthetic while providing the most reasonable contrast level.

Of course Adeleine's a superstar! Brawl In The Family still uses her even though she's been in that one game from years ago.

And I say "superstar" more in the sense of being unique. There are hundreds of Waddle Dees but there's only one her.

Oh well.

No way are they putting Tharja in anything more revealing than her normal robes (though fanart and those figurines show how alluring that can be).

I keep thinking of Olimar's canon quarter size, and Bowser's varying sizes from fitting to a go-kart to the size of a small shed.

I keep saying that while the issue of Ridley's size if variable, that's not a very good response because everyone in the game is to scale with other characters from the same series. Even Bowser (he's typically around twice Mario's height, and his being bigger tends to be the result of magically altering his own height).

To put it in perspective (no pun intended): Kirby is also super small in comparison to the rest of the characters, but Meta Knight and Knuckle Joe is still the same size as him, and Dedede is still approximately the same size in comparison to Kirby that he is in his own series.

So the only size relevant to Ridley is Samus'.

Ridley was actually fairly small in the Melee intro. Might be slightly bigger in the right perspective, but he was not that big.

So it's very easy to make him a decent size in Smash itself, as they've done so before.

Sakurai didn't say Ridley is too big, he said he might have been somewhat slow, and that was long after the whole "Ridley is too big" meme started. That mostly started from arguments on Game FA Qs back in Brawl's early information days.

Sonic: "You're too slow!"

And then Ridley sheds a single tear.
