Smash Update: Who the heck?
BlindsideDork | 4:44 AM on 10.25.2007 64 comments


Cereal, who? i am really unfamiliar with this character and...just WOW! I guess I need to actually play a Kirby games huh? I feel there is a lot of stuff I missing just cause that one series. That team keeps looking bigger and bigger!


King Dedede



Yes, this is a CHARACTER! Mr. "King of Dream Land" himself is a new character. Not an assist trophy like a thought but a full fledged character! That wooden mallet sure looks devastating.









Kirby team large and in charge?


Hmmm, you know what...this is a GOOD thing! He is suppose to be a Heavyweight and there is plenty more room in that field besides DK and Bowser. Bring him on! And while you are at it...give us ONE more!

*crosses fingers* please NOT Dr. Robotnik!

I heard Dr Robotnik was going to be in the game and a heavyweight.





Or I made that up. but hey sonic's in it, so it's possible. No it's not I'm lying but that'd be pretty cool

King Dedede is like diarrhea: you can let it try to kill you, but in the end, it's just watered down shit. Yeah, this is how i think at 5 in the morning.

Man, this is awesome. When they announced MetaKnight, I thought how cool it would be to get DeDeDe in on the action too. Can't believe they actually did it. Maybe one more heavyweight would be nice to help balance out the roster.

I think kirby's final smash should have been a shower of warp stars coming down across the stage.

not some gay bbq cook out where he eats (out?) mario.

you used to be cool kirby.

Can one me racist against a guy like Mencia? Does double racism sort of cancel it self out? Like if you are alone in a room full of fat guys and one calls you fat, and you are fat, then in comparison to each other, none of you are fat. You shouldn't be insulted. By the standards of that room, you're all normal.

Speaking of which, King Dedede is fat. That's the only thing I like about him. I would have preferred every assist trophy announced so far to be playble over this guy.

But I'm happy for the rest of you. And happy I got another point in the contest.

How does Kirby have more series characters than Zelda and Metroid? Wasn't the last Kirby game a pinball racing paint game for DS or some derivative shit like that?

I think characters and series that have legit games released should get more characters. Therefore I think the next(/last) heavy should be Ridley from Metroid. An alternate costume a new character does not make.

1. Mencia sucks
2. More heavy weights don't suck
3. Kirby is a staple Nintnendo chrachter so his arch nemisis should be in the game, just makes sense.
4. I would be fine with Robotnik as long as it meant everyone had a villian counter point and that meant that a villian from Metal Gear showed up.
5. I am not fine with this if it means we don't get Ganondorf back because of the roster filling up or something.

Metroid will only have one person...Samus. Didn't you read my Black Sheep posts? We should be grateful that we get Samus.

Zelda...well Gannondorf is rumored to be redone so that makes Kirby even with Zelda.

Last Kirby game was the apparently good DS Canvas cruise game thingy....

Don't expect more than Snake from the MG series.

@buster
agreed, Dedede is friggin badass.

@BSD, I don't understand how you can not know who he is, he's like the main villain in the kirby games

@B-Radicate
Are you fucking stupid?! how is kirby not a legit game. Kirby is as legit as any of the other games you mentioned. And how the fuck is Dedede an alternate costume-like character? He doesn't look like any other character. You should stop criticizing something you clearly haven't friggin played.

Aborto, if you have read past updates or this one (which NO ONE apparently reads) or my comment...I haven't played Kirby games?

I didn't mean to be a dick, I just figure that it's odd that you say you don't know who he is but you haven't really said anything about Meta-knight, who is definitely a much more obscure character choice than Dedede.

Meta Knight looks like Kirby and looks frickin' sweet! Plus I got my "who the heck?" phase of him out of the way way before Smash Updates began.

B-Radicate, um King Dedede and Kirby were fucking invented by the guy who invented Super Smash Bros???? Hes one of the most requested characters in Japan???? Keep up.

King dede is tits,, Big ole fat sloppy tits with nipples that look the other direction ..

I vote for the counter villian to be in each game.. adds a nice balance.. Not sure who peaches would be or snake if possible..

Dedede is the bowser of the kirby universe... He was also rumored to be a shoe in because masahiro Sakurai, the creator of both kirby and smash, was given much more liberty in the development of this title. Hes type kirbyish with the inheling ability but he does not copy, he is also able to float like kirby...

get your hands on:
kirby for the nes/VC
kirby superstar & kirbys dreamland 3 for the snes
kirby 64
also... theres a kirby game for the gameboy Other than tilt-n-tumble

I halfway expected him to show up, but yeah, i'm with Variable, if Dedede is in it, King K.Rool needs to be in to even out the DK gang.

Oh wow, K. Rool is a good idea. For all those wishing for Mega Man, wouldn't he just play a lot like Samus? Or if he had the power sharing thing, he'd just be like Kirby. He'd be like this Kirmus/Samrby hybrid.

Megaman would have more fighting since he doesn't really have missles. I did a "Make a Smash" character in the forums...I outlined Mega Man's special powers of switching abilities.

More of a mix of Samus and slow Fox.

A new heavyweight is a good thing, mix it up a little other than Bowser and DK. Plus DeeDee + Mallet = win

Finally! Dedede was long over due for Smash Bros. I can't wait to start hammering chumps with him.

Very unexpected but cool, i was already happy enough getting Metaknight, also last Kirby game was Kirby Squeak Squad on the DS.

@Aborto:

Actually my alternate costume comment was in reference to Zero Suit Samus being included as a new character. If you can't pick her from the main screen, she doesn't count. I apologize for spelling that out for you.

Also, I just find it odd that they have, thus far, chosen to include more characters from the Kirby series which is solely more popular in Japan than, say, the Zelda series which is loved by everyone the world over (or seemingly so). I don't care who had a hand in making the game(s), recognizing you have a rabid fan base the world over for a more popular series just sorta shouts "pay homage to this series" first to me.

Also, I have played the first couple Kirby games back in the SNES and Game Boy days and know who Dedede is. Ever since then I feel as though he has become a 3rd-tier character, though. You cannot argue that Nintendo doesn't push him like Mario, Link, Samus, and DK can you? 'Cause if so, then YOU'RE fucking stupid.

Note: I never said Dedede was a bad choice. I just find him making the cut over(/before) other characters is sorta surprising to me. Then again, it does leave the door open for many more surprises, though, which intrigues me.

Twilight Princess didn't do well in Japan...I want to say a few more of the recents haven't but I don't know for sure.

I don't think you can push Kirby, he is...and is there. But they don't push Samus.

@ Video_Cognito:

That is how Mega Man has to play. When he kills you with the Mega Buster he gets one of your characters abilities as his Tap-B or B move. Mega Man would be super awesomesauce if he was a Kirby/Samus hybird.

Characters I still want:

- Banjo & Kazooie (very unlikely thanks to Microsoft buying Rare)
- Mega Man (unlikely)
- Knuckles (likely)
- Simon Belmont (unlikely)
- Geno (unlikely)
- Mia/Isaac/Felix/Sheeba (unlikely)
- K. Rool (unlikely)
- Revolver Ocelot/Liquid Ocelot (possible, but unlikely)
- Raiden (possible, but unlikely)
- Ken/Ryu/Guile (very unlikely)
- Ryu Hyabusa (very unlikely)
- Rayman (possible, but unlikely)
- Cloud (very unlikely)
- Starfy (unlikely)
- Different versions of the Pokemon Trainer that have the starters from Gold/Silver/Crystal, Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, and Diamond/Pearl (possible, but unlikely)
