King Dedede

[Chepe]

Yes! I knew it all along... and it looks like Sakurai finally got over his modesty about his creations...

[Johnknight1]

I love the lulz. We're getting every fan asked character would could hope for. Krystal and Ridley yeah they are definitly in.

I now offiically think that Ridley is the most likely character for Brawl as a newcomer, shortly followed by Lucario. Anyhoo, check out this video I made of it!

Ya, Fountain of Dreams orchestrated ROCKS! :) So ya, King Dedede for IN BRAWL, b***ches! :laugh:

[Rose Monkey]

Bleh...I'm glad with this choice...hated anime Dedede...he shattered my image of Dedede into pieces and gave him a southern accent...


Please no Dedede voice actor!!!

D: true story!

but I wouldn't worry, Metaknight when from being hispanic to hardcore in his transition, probably something similar for the big ol' penguin. :D

[Crownjo]

Dedede sigs and avs that people has here on this very forum.....

I have a feeling they are gonna update them =p

[spikehappy07]

...I bet he only has three midair jumps, then his up b, whatever it is. He is a heavy character, after all. $20 dollars betting that Dedede's final smash involves his belly turning into a huge eye that shoots Dark matter!

Please no Dedede voice actor!!!Please do not EVER, EVER refer to the horrible American dub of the anime. It is horrible, horrible, AWFUL. His Japanese voice actor, however, is amazing and was picked by Sakurai-san himself.
Quick example, couldn't find anything better;

His seiyu is absolutely wonderful. He's a funny character so he needs a funny voice, just as long as it's not annoying. He also apparently says "zoi" after most of his sentences. Whether or not Sakurai chooses to have that in Brawl is up to him.

I agree. Ridley, and Lucario (Even though I don't want Lucario in XP) have high chances now.

I hope they bring back King DeDeDe's theme from the previous Nes-Snes theme back as his main theme. That'd be the best thing EVER.

[Lunadis]

<3 I love King Dedede he's my favorite Kirby character (after Kirby of course) I can't wait to use him ^_^ Hopefully he'll be able to float a bit, letting him have the best jumping prowess of any heavy weight.

I love this week ^_^

-KnightHehe. As adorable and amazing as Kirby is, I have always preferred Dedede even though he's a total loser! I mean, the guy is hilarious. Funny, ambitious and over-the-top greedy. To each their own. <3

I think that's the amazing voice actor from Ragnarok the Animated Series... The evil wizard if I recall. Sounds JUST like him anyway. <3 love it.

edit:awww. I'm wrong, either way, amazing voice.

[Pluvia]

I guess that means Ridley, Geno and Olimar are sure to follow as playable too! Along with Megaman, Claus and WW Link!

I have no idea who most of the others are, I shall check up on them later. :laugh:

40$ says it has something to do with him and that bloody racing mini game from superstar. He was so unnaturally fast. If he can inflate as a heavyweight, we can expect him to be the char new players flock to.

[Quintsy]

Definitely one of the best updates to date

[prettymanfairy]

Wasn't Dedede on the poll? How was he and who was he close to?

[bluebomber22]

Time for the bluebomber to get hammered on!

you *** jason! fine, your dedede vs my mega man!

Bleh, I said nothing!!!

dont worry, i know him.

Dedede huh, must be pretty sick to be a Kirby Series fan right about now

[Kirby knight]

Wasn't Dedede on the poll? How was he and who was he close to?

King Dedede had the highest number of votes on the poll.

-Knight

[Devastlian]

Wasn't Dedede on the poll? How was he and who was he close to?

King Dedede had the most letters shown of any character at five, I believe. Below were Ike, Ridley, Geno and, I think, one other at four.

OMG JINKS KIRBY KNIGHT

[PsychoIncarnate]

Wasn't Dedede on the poll? How was he and who was he close to?

King Dedede got the most votes of any character

[GhostAnime]

was Geno tied for second or what?

[prettymanfairy]

King Dedede had the highest number of votes on the poll.

-Knight

Do you remember who was after him? I can already see the Ridley and Geno updates...

[Silent_Hill_Crossing]

I'm guessing the small stage held by the WaddleD's are his stage enterance.

[Spicer]

King Dedede should be fun, a heavyweight who can float like Kirby. Hope they dont make him too slow.

[PsychoIncarnate]

King Dedede, I've already decided he's one of my mains...no matter what his play style or tier is

[prettymanfairy]

I'm guessing the small stage held by the WaddleD's are his stage enterance.

Yeah. Thats quite an enterance. I can't wait to see his taunts. I'm sure we'll see some comical ones.

Ridley was next on Sakurai's poll for the most votes I think...he might have been tied with someone else. But after Ridley was Geno I think (Geno had either 4 or 2 votes), then tied at 3 were Krystal, WW Link, and I think (don't believe me 100% on this) Captain Olimar?, and maybe some random dumb character as well. And as for that Cluas statement...is a bit of a stretch, I must say. Simply put, Ness > GOD > Lucas > Claus > Pokey (Pokey is funny, though). Still...ya never know. ;)

Wasn't Dedede on the poll? How was he and who was he close to?

He got 7 votes, and was #1 on the poll in Sakurai's Brawl poll. In Sakurai's Melee poll, Marth won with 8 votes. Proof that Sakurai ALWAYS ADDS THE MOST DESIRED CHARACTERS....plus a few randomly awsome ones! :)

[GhostAnime]

Geno apparently has 4 along with Ridley, Ike, and Diddy Kong.

[Kirby knight]

I'm pretty sure Ike, Diddy, Geno and Ridely all were tied for 2nd. Though you could just check the sticky that has all the poll results listed.

-Knight

[MetalMetaKnight]

Order of faves in the kirby group:

1. Meta, silent, fast and insane!
2. Kirby, true men use pink puffballs
3. Dedede, he rocks anyways

[kilroy]

King Dedede(5) - CONFIRMED!
Diddy Kong(4) - CONFIRMED!
Geno(4)
Ike(4) - CONFIRMED!
Ridley(4)
Captain Olimar & Pikmin(3)
Krystal(3)
Takamaru(3)
Windwaker Link(3)

straight from the post.

$40? Heh, then let's make it $100! You're on!

[Silent_Hill_Crossing]

Yeah. Thats quite an enterance. I can't wait to see his taunts. I'm sure we'll see some comical ones.

Yep. I hope his Up taunt is that Super Man Jump attack, that would be quite hilarious. (Considering if it was one of his moves I don't think it'd be so great.)

I'll laugh if the Stadium Fight is a stage for DeDeDe. (The one from Kirby Super Star, considering his supposed stage enterance is well platform with that stage's design)

I love this game. Now we need Marx.

[MetalMetaKnight]

Heh, i say he can inflate, if youve played the kirby games, youve seen him inflate

[prettymanfairy]

OMG. That stage would rock. With all the Kirby Characters in the stands. That and the top of Castle Dedede. But the one thats in the air, floating above Dreamland. Kinda like Lylat cruise.

[Johnknight1]

Woaw, so out of Sakurai's Brawl poll, Geno is the highest character up there left, followed by Captain Olimar, Krystal, Wind Waker Link, and Takamuru (all tied) (aka lame Japan only green haired guy who wishes he was as cool as Wind Waker Link). So that means most of them have a good chance....hopefully not Takamuru. If Sakurai wants a good classic character, he'd get Balloon Fighter! XD

[Silent_Hill_Crossing]

Yep, and Luigi would be there and everything. XD. That too would also rock. I can't wait to see all the My Music (s) for the stages/whole game.

Heh, i say he can inflate, if youve played the kirby games, youve seen him inflate

I could see that as his Final Smash, he can chase you down, and does sort of like what Sonic does, but a little bit crazier (such as being able to suck you up, spit you out, etc.)

Or as his >Taunt. XD.

you forgot Ridley, who's tied with Geno.

i also didn't C&P the characters with only 2 mentions. out of the 2's, though, we do have Lucas.

[MetalMetaKnight]

His final smash should be....him grabing a huge hammer out of nowhere and boom!!!

[Nightlea]

I grew up on many Nintendo games, and I've always, always adored the Kirby series. Seeing the trio together in that last screenshot makes me so happy~

Dude, that would be way too awesome. *_*

Kenichi Ogata. <3


And I've already said this, but I love his model. To be honest, my favorite model of him was the Kirby 64 one, and I guess I'd have prefered that; the one Sakurai used looks more like the Kirby Air Ride one. Though it makes sense, I think (and it's cute X33).

If anyone is still wondering, these were the ones with more than 1 vote in that Japanese Poll (though there's a thread for this, and all):

King Dedede(5)
Diddy Kong(4)
Geno(4)
Ike(4)
Ridley(4)
Captain Olimar & Pikmin(3)
Krystal(3)
Takamaru(3)
Windwaker Link(3)
Animal Crossing MC(2)
Claus(2)
Demiru(2)
Isaac(2)
Jeff(2)

Sukapon(2)

I say his Final Smash will be Robo Mecha Dedede-zoi (http://kirby.classicgaming.gamespy.com/kirbypedia/index.php/Robo_Mecha_Dedede)! It's the most awesomely ridiculous robot evar! ^.^

It could grab people with it's claw and then drill them, or perhaps fire a huge laser beam from it's mouth. xD

Either, that or they'll play on Dedede's desire to industrialize and have him drop a huge castle on his competition.

Or he summons his mother, in an ironic twist turns out to be Dyna Blade. XD That'd be quite shocking. LOL.

[Nightlea]

:O Robo Mecha Dedede would rock as his Final Smash, I could definitely see that. Maybe they could use the same model of the updated/upgraded one from that Kirby game for the Wii. Which reminds me... we need that game, now! >:E
