On that note, Kirby with Phazon powers is potentially universe ending
Meanwhile, in Smash, he gets a pretty decent projectile
I'm already bracing for it even though he should get Erdricks.Pfft imagine if Sakurai were to be really boring and give Kirby brown colored Android 17 hair
Imagine that
When there's three other alts with way more interesting head pieces
Imagine
Flat brown hair
Because a character needed to promote a video game with an alternate costume
Oh god look at all those dogshit character designs in Crash. Yeeeugh
Or he could be lazy and just give him 3's headband.Pfft imagine if Sakurai were to be really boring and give Kirby brown colored Android 17 hair

That's what I want lol
My only saving grace is that Link's hat is still used, instead of his normal hair. So Sakurai did realize that some hats are more iconic than just a wig.I'm already bracing for it even though he should get Erdricks.

We need to hope for Sakurai Bias to come into effect and kirby's hat will transform based on the costumeThat's what I want lol

It gives me hope for a better option than bland brown hair. That's Erdrick's hat that's supposed to be on Kirby, instead some advertisement gets the Kirby hat, no fair.
oh man, but then I'd want to see Ludwig's hair on KirbyWe need to hope for Sakurai Bias to come into effect and kirby's hat will transform based on the costume
Kirby is no stranger to awkward clipping and bouncy/squishing things that should be solid
Dark Samus is special because it's the only echo Kirby hat with a unique animationThis is actually the first time I've seen his Dark Samus hat. That is hilarious. Point taken. Still, I think Kirby would be cuter with a Kazooie hat making "kaw" noises.
The interesting thing about Kirby's hat specials is that they actually use the same data that the actual characters have. I remember back in Smash 4 that there was a glitch where you can "dereference" a character after Kirby copied them, and then Kirby can no longer use that special because the character's data is not loaded anymore.
Basically, this is done to make the moves function identically without needing to update redundant information just for Kirby. The only exception to this is Kirby's Pikmin Pluck & Toss because that's an entirely separate move from Olimar's Pikmin Pluck.
Banjo & Kazooie's neutral special may be treated like an exception just like Olimar's is, but that remains to be seen.

Rare games are also full of horrible character designs.
side note i really, really wish zero suit samus kirby had a full head of hair and not just the ponytail because this is just awful and i hate it
Hey at least it looks better in Ultimate
What if Kirby just shoots eggs out of his own mouth? Kind of like the Bowser Jr. hat?
Kirby will spit out Kazooie which will just spite eggs out of its mouth
This is honestly what I expect. Kazooie will just pop out of the mouth probably.
man I remember Melee's roster feeling SO huge and impressive at the time (& to be fair a 26 man roster IS pretty impressive imo) but now it's just small potatoesSomeone should recreate this using Ultimate's models
And uhh... add Sheik in there somewhere.
For Brawl too
Aw, that'd be cute! xD .. hard to beat Kirby's Hadouken shout tho!I just wanna hear Crash Kirby shout "WHOA!" in Makiko Ohtomo's voice.
"Generic cliffside canyon" has appeared in more Smash games than most of the roster of the game. It deserves respectman I remember Melee's roster feeling SO huge and impressive at the time (& to be fair a 26 man roster IS pretty impressive imo) but now it's just small potatoes
Just make this cliffside & near by canyon an actual stage already, honestly.
Aw, that'd be cute! xD .. hard to beat Kirby's Hadouken shout tho!
--but since Crash neutral B would most likely be his Spin, I'd be more interested to see how they would animate him.. to look something like this:
but pink!.. and small! 'v'
that's a good guess; --Everytime I picture Crash moveset, I think he should have his Death Tornado Spin variation as his Neutral if you mash the button for so long; that way you could get a little air time like in his games. Kirby with that would be even more persistent after falling off stage. :p
The only time in the entire series' history that last minute character additions weren't thrown into the CSS wherever they fit and were actually placed, with care, in the appropriate spot.

Do they call Makiko Ohmoto back for each character? Or has she already done her recordings? Or what?
I would imagine once the DLC design was finalized they just had her come in and do them all at onceDo they call Makiko Ohmoto back for each character? Or has she already done her recordings? Or what?
Final Destination? Please, give me Cliff Lookout Point"Generic cliffside canyon" has appeared in more Smash games than most of the roster of the game. It deserves respect
Brawl got really lucky it had such a precise number of last minute entrants to make the perfect rectangle.The only time in the entire series' history that last minute character additions weren't thrown into the CSS wherever they fit and were actually placed, with care, in the appropriate spot.
For smash 4 I think she only had to get called back for Ryu's Hadoken. PK Freeze I think had a left over from the base game because there was a point where they considered kirby copying the neutral customs and the others I think just used existing clips.Do they call Makiko Ohmoto back for each character? Or has she already done her recordings? Or what?
I actually think they got lucky with Smash 4, because they only needed HADOUKEN and Roy's YYYAAAAAAAYYYFor Smash 4 I assume they called her back for each individual character because the DLC wasn't too well planned. It's possible they have already recorded them all for the Fighters Pass though.
I think Crash was in the right place at the right time back when DLC was decided; --Even before that I was already campaigning (before even N. Sane Trilogy was announced for Switch; not much of a coincidence, in the same Direct they revealed Smash Ultimate), people were saying Crash was a prime candidate for DLC.Crash has definitely gotten a boost post-Banjo. It's a crazy world where K. Rool/Ridley/Banjo are in Smash and Crash Bandicoot is one of the most requested characters.
I'd guess his inclusion would just come down to if Nintendo/Sakurai felt they wanted to do business with Activision back in 2018. My fear is they only reached out to a western company like Microsoft because of the insane fan demand and Phil Spencer being so open about it.

For Brawl, too (and add in Sheik and ZSS)
64 and Smash 4 never really got a full roster shot like this
That's a really unfortunate pose for Wii Fit Trainer.Someone made this
Unfortunately it was made before E3 2019, so Joker and PP are the only DLC characters there.
I don't think reaching out to Microsoft for Banjo was all that special. The impression I got from this interview was that asking for Banjo was a natural extension for any talks Nintendo and Microsoft already have, so I don't see why getting any other western character owned by a third party Nintendo has regular contact with would be different from getting Banjo.Crash has definitely gotten a boost post-Banjo.
