Why would he? A top newcomer for sure. I dont think people realize how important this character is for the franchise. Not saying he deserves it more than dixie/k rool but he is the go to character 4th player slot in kirby and a heavy staple in the franchise

He's basically Kirby's Toad. Though considering Peach has the actual Toad in her moveset, and King Dedede has Waddle Dees in his, and we don't have a standalone Toad moveset, not even Captain Toad, I'm not expecting Bandanna Waddle Dee. Which is fine by me as 1) I have a lot of other characters I'd like to see before this guy and 2)If we were going to get a spear wielder, I'd want someone else that could...better represent spears. I just wouldn't want the only spear in Smash to be wielded by a Waddle Dee, no offense to Bandanna Dee fans...

People that dont play kirby games never look bandana dees way. I do believe other characters should get in before him. Dk reps, isaac, etc. That said BD is now a staple and just as important as King DDD amd Metaknight now. In the last 5 (6 if you count dreamland collection) BD has made an appearance in every game including being the only playable character other than kirby in rainbow curse.

 

He has a built in smash moveset as well and I suspect we will have 4 reps in terms of the franchises DK/metroid/kirby in this game. Kirby is still a huge franchise and dont forget in japan its 1 of the top 20 if not top 10 best selling franchises there.

 

Lastly japan loves him. I mean he is probably top 3 most requested character from japan from ssb4 and even now
