Awkward tail wagging and some weird moves aside, that model looks really good. Sakurai pls ;_;
They'd need to play differently as separate characters though.
I'd really love Bomber Man in the game ;_;
I thought of a simple (but probably broken haha) moveset the other day.
Standard B: Bomberman places a bomb in the floor. Explosion is in the form of a cross (a vertical line and a horizontal line across the bomb). Bombs can be grabbed by anyone and do not explode on contact or when hit. There can't be more than 3 bombs set at the same time. Holding B before placing a bomb makes it have a bigger "radius".
Down B: Bombs explode! I'm not sure if all should explode at the same time or if they should explode in order. Latter could be cool but hard to keep track off, unless bombs are numbered!
Side B: Bomb kick! Launches a bomb horizontally and makes it explode if it contacts another player.
Up B: Bomb launch. Places a bomb underneath him and gets launched by the explosion. Similar to one of the Mii Gunner ones. It should meteor smash too!
It could have a lot of stage control, so potentially broken, but it'd be fun! At least, I think so haha.

Don't worry, I'm the one that asked him the Banjo question. I just like to tweet random ideas to him once in a while, I'm glad this one stuck!

I feel like the main rule for Bomberman is that his bombs should be able to launch him, but don't rack up any damage.
And when he's launched, he's dangerous like when Ness is hit with his PK Thunder.

But... bombs kill you in Bomberman. They kill you dead.

Exactly, and you die in Smash by getting launched, not because your damaged.
If American Idol and The Voice have taught me anything, the person you think is safe and will make it to the top because you assume everyone will already vote for them...is sent packing in 6th place like Jennifer Hudson. I'll stop voting for Dixie Kong when she's revealed at E3.
Until then... refresh!

If Bomberman's moveset contains of spamming bombs, the last thing I'd want is to be launched and damaged everytime I'm near one.
That sounds very similar to Bomberman's moveset in Super Smash Flash 2.

Unless she was planned from the beginning as DLC outside of the ballot (she has the Spainkiller rumor going for her, but we aren't sure of his source's legitimacy at the moment), we won't know of her until after the poll results come in. And factoring that in, the first poll character, unless someone won by a landslide during the summer, will come in December at the earliest.If American Idol and The Voice have taught me anything, the person you think is safe and will make it to the top because you assume everyone will already vote for them...is sent packing in 6th place like Jennifer Hudson.

I don't know, I think Bomberman should really have some sort of risk factor where he has good bomb moves, but has to be careful of them as well. Seems just his character.
Sometimes I wonder if Sakurai has played past the first level of any DKC game, lol

If they base Dixie Kong on the Kongs' Retro movesets she would be glorious!

That would explain the DKC music select having 50,000 versions of that one song.
On a serious note we do know for certain that Retro Studios' devs played through all three DKC games, and none of them played a second of DK64, and many were confused when that game was brought up in interviews.

Speaking of Dixie Kong,
If she's going to be playable character then I honestly want her to become trap-style character with bubble gun.

I see Dixie Kong as a combination of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong.
She would move with similar agility to Diddy Kong, with a ponytail twirl instead of the cartwheel, and a projectile move in the form of her bubble-gun.
But she could grab and carry enemies with her hair, similar to DK's walk-off grab. She could spin through the air like a helicopter, similar to DK's recover. She could pound the ground with her hair, similar to DK's ground pound. And so on.

Seriously! Its Nintendo's 5th most successful IP. XD
My opinion on most Nintendo IPs already in Smash is that they fall into one of two categories. Either they are mostly "spent" in terms of additions to the point that aside from maybe one more character, their representation in Smash is complete (Mario, Kirby, Star Fox, Metroid) or they have so many characters spread across so many games that most of the characters don't stick around and become important pieces of their respective franchises. (Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Zelda) In the case of the latter there will at least always be a new character around that could be added to Smash, but there isn't that obvious one that sticks out.
With Donkey Kong though, I think you could make a legitimate case for Dixie, K. Rool, and maybe Cranky. That isn't even going into things like Assist Trophies, stages, or music of which the series has gone largely ignored.

They were confused or fans were confused?

This better be one of her taunts
Doubt it since Diddy didn't get his Boom Box taunt.
Dixie might not sound as exciting, but I'm sure she would turn out as a fine character given consideration. DK and Diddy on paper probably didn't sound as exciting either, but both of them made great additions to the cast when they joined Smash. Diddy in particular also had the advantage of a more diverse move pool in DK64, which pretty much defined his abilities from that point onward in the series with the peanut pistols and jetpack.
Agreed though that K. Rool would make for an incredibly interesting fighter if only because his abilities radically changed with each boss appearance.

I hope Sakurai directs the next Donkey Kong game so we can get Cranky Codecs. Then he can lecture Zero Suit Samus about how women in his day used to dress classier.
K Rool in a game directed by the man who brought us Hades? I need this straight into my veins.

HAIR BASED MOVESET
Also ideally K. Rool in a game with actual writing would play off him having a major identity crisis and everytime you meet him he has a completely different persona, with shitty pun names to boot.
I think Bomberman is the only third-party character that has a legitimate shot. He fits the bill on so many levels. That said, it probably won't happen until the next game (if at all.)
There's a lot of unique things they can do with Dixie, but King K. Rool is definitely more unique in more ways than one. I actually wouldn't mind seeing both. One is a female, the other is a villain. We need more of both.

Then Bayonetta would be a better choice.
lol
Not sure if that or her modern looks is worse lol.

Pretty sure I thought Bayonetta was going to get in back in early '13 riding off the Bayonetta 2 hype.

OMG! This needs to be a thing! Everyone needs to rally behind this!
After Ridley, Dixie and K Rool this is the main thing I want!
As for the Project M Ridley I love the size but the moves are just way too much. Now that same model has been cleaned up and been given much better animations so far. I can totally dig it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x_TlZ_zeTlo

... I want all 3; why do you have to make me choose?!
This show and its gifs continue to amaze and horrify me with it's terrible animation. The result? Lol!
edit: top page boysssssssss
I like most of that. The problem is I cant see wonder red using these unite morphs realistically because of how large they are in TW101. I mean, many unite morphs are the size of cars or tanks. They are not on the scale Sakurai seems to be comfortable with. (Up to bowser size, but smaller than ridley)
