>>543383305We love one fat bitch here
Got too sleepy again huh
Might as well repost this: gallery idea for the collab, yay or nay?If yay, where?>World of Drawcia>Wild World mansion>Maybe the spooky circus?>Another option
so the direct's being announced on wednesday right
>>543410795did you see that in a dream?
>>543383305also, WLGG
>>543418719what, no wild king doo?
>>543383305Want some more on-model off-body Susie art?I could put the word in for some more.
>>543423923Hey man, Susie's always appreciated around here.
>>543423923Hell yeah
>>543423923Can we see Susie trying (and failing) to lose some weight in some cute workout wear?
guys why did Dedede say this?
Kirbybros what happened?
>>543447318Well I've just been very busy as of late myself, dunno about other anons.
>>543396916Nah, more fat bitches the better.
>>543447318Months without a lick of any real news besides their decision to make my secretary wife a veritable fatass (based).
>>543447318Susie's a fatass now.
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostReturn117.html>"…I wanted to ask a question about Kirby's profile. 'Name: Kirby. Gender: Unknown. Favorite phrase: Tomorrow's wind will blow tomorrow. Things I want to do but can't: Push-ups, Cossack dancing, rock-paper-scissors.' Was this Mr. Sakurai's idea?">Sakurai: "Oh, I came up with that profile in the past. I just had to do it…"
it's not gonna matter but i'm gonna say it anyway, i think air riders would've benefited more from this kind of vast open world than mario kart didnot necessarily in terms of gameplay mechanics though i'm sure there would be some plusses, but far more in terms of lore; sakurai and the designers for the original air ride have far more of a knack for developing worlds with depth that's implied, but never really elaborated uponbesides, said world would have far more lore and meaningful history to pull from than what mario has
>>543447318people get busy and floud /vg/ with gacha shit.
https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Kirby%27s_Dream_Land>The original title for the game was "はるかぜポポポ" (Harukaze Popopo), which roughly translates to "Popopo of the Spring Breeze". This was later changed to "ティンクルポポ" (TwinklePopo). The game's finalized name evidently came late in development, given that numerous adverts with the second name were produced and released.>The term "spring breeze" was later used in the Japanese manual, describing Kirby as "a youth who came with the spring breeze." According to Sakurai, this line in the manual was the direct inspiration for the name of the "enhanced remake" of this game in Kirby Super Star.
>>543459030>"はるかぜポポポ" (Harukaze Popopo)It just now dawned on me, beyond Lololo and Lalala, was Kirby supposed to be more directly related to Eggerland given that name?
>>543459402>Originally, the protagonist was named Popopo. After talking with Nintendo of America, it was decided that this name needed to change to appeal to American children. Many names were suggested by NoA, but "Gasper" was a notable one for Sakurai. The name "Gaspar" (note the spelling change) was used as the name for a ghost enemy for this game. The developers wanted the name to sound like an American performer/idol, so they chose the name "Kirby". Interestingly, both the name of Kirby's arch enemy Dedede and the Japanese name of their homeland, Pupupu Land, are clearly plays on the original Popopo name, though they would survive into the final game.It looks like HAL originally wanted Kirby to be a "Japanese" character with a cute name, but decided to give him a foreign name to make him more western.
>>543465256I am surprised a stando like ability hasn't been a thing yet.
jesus christ, we cannot by dying this early
>>543476292we are kinda runnin out of things to talk about until air riders direct 2
>>543476292I'll really try and get the collab background ready sooner than later, backgrounds aren't generally my expertise so it's taken me a good more willpower than usual to work on this one. Hopefully people contributing to it could help keep the thread alive...
Don't worry. I got this. Ado is just as interesting as Bandana Dee and there is no reason for there to be fights over who is superior.
>>543478474I don't think we need to resort to that.
>>543476292it's past midnight for me and i've been doing other things...
>>543459030 i'm so glad joe's a racer definitely in my top 5 helpers
best spray color: GO
Rick unlike Kine and Coo has yet to appear as a background character in Kirby air riders which means he will be playable.
>>543485221when rick is on the air ride machine, alfonzo drives the train.wait that's the wrong game.
AT LONG LAST!!!
There we go. Two days from now.
>60 minutesMan what is Sakurai cooking?
>>543502352Story Mode and Side Content, like the little trophy-like trinkets and costumes
>direct gets announced in the thread with the fatfag opYou useless fucks couldn’t keep the other one alive one more day, huh?
Behold, the Tac Shack
So what are your hopes, fears, and expectations for the next direct?
>>543507453Playable Escargoon.
Rushed this a bit but wanted to draw something based on the idea of if they did a superstar sequel in the style of the simpsons treehouse of horror, five nights at ricky’s and among kirb would be minigames, not full subgames
>>543481569I like cherry because it makes Kirby look like a watermelon which is his favorite food in the anime.>>543507453I hope Kirby fans can have fun, enjoy themselves, and be happy.
>>543500741 >6am pt on a thursday man i am so fucked
I don’t plan on playing legends za but emma is hot, plus some alts https://files.catbox.moe/1s8a6c.png https://files.catbox.moe/8o0g5q.png https://files.catbox.moe/60kc8s.png
>>543413890You know I was kinda bullshitting when I said it but I'm glad it worked out to be the actual date
>>543520718Nice stuff. Susie in Emma's outfit is a cute.
>>543520718>last altFun TF implications.
>>543507453I do hope we get some story mode stuff after the Dark Rider teaser at the end of the previous one
i'm getting susie inflation art in my normie circles now... there's no escape from this, huh...
>>543532684It isn't inflation it's WG/expansion you absolute Glunk
>>543519179stop living on the west coast
>>543532684Chubby Susie is cute, so I'm not surprised.
what do you think wheelie is thinking in this moment
>>543507453>>543418364
>>543532856 >it's WG/expansion What's WG
>>543537798>Weight GainSusie gains a lot of weight because she over indulges in ice cream.>ExpansionIn order to get Meta Knight's attention Susie uses a product developed by HWC to increase the size of her tits.>InflationConfusing a mint leaf with a Mint Leaf for her ice cream, Susie finds her stomach inflating with air.
>>543538282 I see...
>>543534987Based
>>543538282that doesn't explain the difference between inflation and expansion
>>543542241 no it does basically >Weight Gain food >Expansion drugs >Inflation air
>>543542241>>543542414Expansion can be caused by lots of different factors, like unexplained tech (you see character creator-style body sliders used a lot,f or example), magic, drugs and supplements, eating a weird food, or, in some cases, fluids, but that tends to overlap with inflation. There is a distinction, though.
>>543542664What is the distinction?
>>543543124Expansion tends to focus on a single part of the body (i.e. breasts/ass) and not just be air or liquid-based, moreso the flesh itself growing. Inflation tends to be full-body, caused by excess air or liquid, and cringe.
no see, I have an inflation fetish, not a inflation fetish, there's clearly a difference.
>>543519179it's midnight for me, stop winging.
>>543514692Sorry the fetish susiefags ignored your piece, it's quite exquisite.
>>543514692>breeze.exeSurprised some 13 year old hasn't made this an actual thing yet at least not to my knowledge
>>543514692these are great
>>543546149 I AM NOT WAKING UP AT ~5AM WHEN MY UNI CLASSES START AT 2PM AAAAAAURHG
>>543546549Well, there is TMK, that kinda counts.no 13 year old could outdo what we already get in Kirby at any rate.
Do you reckon Knuckle Joe's full name is "Knuckle Jonathan" or "Knuckle Joseph"?
>>543547201 sometimes a joe is just a joe
>>543547342maybe it's joe hendry or samoah joe or joe rogan
>>543512201ah yes the "we have wonderia at home" park.
>>543548064Knuckle Joey
>>543506536hyper realistic [jelly donuts] rice balls
>>543405051Seeing the resounding silence I'll make an executive decision and go with the Wild World manor... admittedly, mainly due to the fact I don't have any good oil paint brushes in FireAlpaca and it'd be somewhat miserable to try and do that look by hand in a timely manner. Hope people'll contribute to it, I do definitely think the art gallery idea could be fun
>>543548064 nuku joe
>>543553530I mean that area did have some paintings so I'm sure some might do that.
>>543550624no his name is januchi-chan and his best friend is honda-kun.
>>543514692 these are excellent
Nobody seems to have noticed yet, but Jet Star confirmed
>>543564709neat.
>>543564709 oooooo nice
>>543564709woah, what's this from?
>>543564709>>543572865nvm.
>>543573193do you work for nintendo, you can tell us.
>/kdg/ potentially getting a leaker just randomly out of nowhereWhat a week huh?
>>543576642Yeah, man, look at all these leaks.https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/kirby-air-riders-switch-2/
>>543577176holy goddamn someone get a hold of Nintendo they gotta get this shit taken down
>>543577176listen man i was tired and thought it'd be really funny if that somehow happened, although, the direct happening is probably already more than enough
post your pick for air ridersno dream friends, faggot
>>543548064 is that lor
>>543591354>no dream friends, faggotnah, fuck you
>>543591354pitch wasn't a dreamfriend.
>>543591794pitch was robbedrobbed i tell you
>>543591370maybe.
>>543591875I know someone else who wasn't in star allies either...
if there was another elemental mage sister that used wind, what would her name/weapon be?keeping in mind they are named after old norse weapons.
>>543591354Awoofy
>>543591354 they could never because ghibli would get on their ass like cheese on mac
>>543599217it'd be fine legally speaking.
>>543507453>hopesAnother subliminal message about kid icarus
>>543602180this image is retroactively funnier.
>>543602180boys and their ships, haha
ribbon bee!
>>543605785don't show that to taranza.
I love whenever Japanese Kirby stuff shows up in my recommended because it can either be the highest effort, highest quality animation ever, or the goofiest shit ever devised that gets a laugh out of me from the thumbnail alone, like look at this fuckin guy https://youtu.be/l1Pb17nZIWE
>>543606757that looks like a demented cryptid in the best way possible.
>>543606757 jesus christ why
>>543605785>Tinkatink used Metal Claw!
They're not getting in...
>>543612871 i could see taranza maybe
>>543612871Really pulling for the spider, I am. Like >>543614010 said, I think he at least has a chance.
>>543612871I'm hoping for both Taranzabros and Adobros tomorrow.

>>543615228those blimps look like the ones from adventure, like god damn this game looks gorgeous.
>>543618589THE DREAMY GEAR, IS REEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL
>>543614871I want to believe.
>>543591354THEY'RE never IN
>>543620697I mean gyrll is from a Japanese only game.
I can't believe Chalemeo Arm's fucking dead
>>543615228What are these things he gets at the end?

>>543645695? you this much of a secondary
>>543631885>this is how he debuts in 3dRipbozo
>>543631885 dude...
>Marx>Elfilin>at least two of Adeleine/Daroach/Taranza>maybe Mr. Frosty and Poppy Bros. Sr. for the AR64 referenceThese all seem pretty reasonable, right?
>>543591354>blade knight is the sword enemy nowI BELIEVE
>>543654505I really really wish Air Riders would grace us with such amazing LODs but the technology has improved so much that I know it won't...
He is going to be a playable character, why else would they replace him with a new fire enemy
>>543667192 >not leo oh...
>>543481569probably kdl3 pink...
Sheesh, everyone must be at work.
>>543676256I was in bed in my timezone friend.
>>543632372given they are shaped like air ride machines, maybe they are for amiibo training used as food to level them up?
>>543679031>machine gummies that give you stats based on the machine
>>543679160it's probably like smashes spirit food/training.time to make the most jank ass machines.
>>543679031Trainable amiibos makes me wonder what kind of turbomoron I could achieve, I remember making it so a Richter amiibo I got would EXCLUSIVELY spam the axe in Smash in every situation, I wonder what kinds of funny bullshit you could do in Air Riders with 'em
>>543632372 please make actual gummies of these...
>>543679932Japan only, 20 gorillion dollars to import, pay up.
speaking of, the nintendo today app has 3D models of the machines that you can look at various angles, it's kinda neat.
>>543667192God, I wish
>>543679830air retarders amiibo tournaments might be in our future.
here's a few things that will probably be in the direct:>amiibo's>the weird candy things>more characters>top ride(?)>the fashion stuff>show off other stages>story mode(?)>sakurai ruses people>THE CHECK LIST>online stuff>mystery nigga (the totally not dark matter dedede rider dude)>"and one last thing..."
>>543688729 the new heavy lobster remix will be fire, trust
>>543689326the first direct did have a nova remix that nobody seems to have talked about too.
>>543689443Wait, when? I watched it three times, and never noticed.
>>543689585the dust up derbery event when the timer is going down sounds alot like it.
>>543691974https://www.youtube.com/live/QtkHiB7WKf4?si=A3TcFM2mECLI8CKi&t=1708https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9tWq6FIwzA&list=RDw9tWq6FIwzA&start_radio=1
>>543514692i swear i remember a /v/ thread having this exact same idea a couple years ago, very good job. actually surprised a kirby fnaf game hasn't been tried considering how many other franchises people have turned into it
>>543507453they kill taranza
>>543694792Are you hoping, fearing, or expecting that?
>>543692287 oooh neat
>>543692287Hmm. It's hard to tell if it's a coincidence or not, since it never goes into the actual melody.It makes me wonder if there's a second version that actually goes into the full song and the significance of there being two versions of NOVA's theme. Maybe.
Don't die on me, /kdg/. The Direct is tomorrow morning!
>>543696678for what it's worth the rainbow curse version does take a bit longer to kick in as well
Could you tell your guy to quit shitposting in /smbg/? Thanks.
>>543708351dude we're halfway dead wtf do you mean

>>543709925FASTER
>>543712093Fair point on DMK (mainly given we already saw he's a skin sadly), but I do feel like the Mages have a shot, Sakurai's done alts that change the model and name of the character selected before (see Olimar n Alph, or Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings) so that could work for the Mages. Altough, now that you mention it, yeah I do guess Hyness being the main rider would be more practical.>>543712686>>hyness on the star using zan as a bat
>>543591354Elline!!!

>heart of nova stage>marx remixNo way he’s not in
>ALL THE OLD COURSE BACKHOLY BASED
Damn so is this a sorta CTR Nitro Fueled situation? Just remaking the whole original game on top of adding a shit ton of new tracks and content? If so, genuinely great
it's only been 20 minutes and shit has been dropping faster than any of us can post about it very good
I wish other developers took fidelity as much into account as sakurai because holy shit, the old courses look so good...
Sandbag…
Sandbag canon! Do you reckon he gets into heated arguments with Silver Dee for taking his job?
tortuilding is a forgotten land rep right? also computer virus in a modern kirby game is fucking nuts too
>>543764149oh, definitely.
>>543764167Well yeah it debuted in forgotten landso Elfilin has a non zero chance of being playable

>>543765057I'm content with her appearing at all to be honest, she still looks as cute as ever!
>only thirty minutes inI cannot guess what more has to be shown when so much stuff has been shown already
I can't believe Sakurai said that about K64 what the FUCK

>>543767832this will be Kirby graphics in 2013
>>543768548finally I can play air riders and jerk off to susie at the same time
>>543768526He's kind of always been.They're really good at making this dumb cat thing be really intimidating when they want to.
>>543768548I was already sold on the game after the first Direct, but this one somehow managed to convince me even further. Deffo picking it up first chance I get.
>>543768548 it's actually worth $70
>>543768696I meant more design wise but true
>>543768548We will be pre-loading the game and booting it up on midnight.
>>543767832first ever 10/10
This site needs a bigger file size limit
>>543765749>>543766309>Confirmed more riders after this tooWe're in Crystal chads.
>>543767623>zero-two>blue crystals>the rides falling starry style>>543767934>sakurai approves and knows all the loreanyone who thinks the guy is biased has been dis-proven it seems.>>543768336he did say there was riders he didn't show off...
So, we're creating /kdg/ online lobbies, right?
>the last ones we'll show youOh, god, there are more, aren't there?
>>543769018 H-HAYAI
>>543768548I'm very happy with everything shown (specially Taranza, happy for spideranon), and if anything reaffirmed the fact I'm making fully sure I can get it as early as possible, really hope stores here have it for a good price. Also somewhat coping that maybe Elfilis could make the Stadium Boss cut with Elfilin being a Rider, I'd be satisfied with that honestly but I worry that Elfilis is "too recent" to be included.>>543769018H-He's fast!>>543769106Hell yeah.
>>543769154I thought that was implied
>>543769154There'll probably be updates or DLC
>>543769034Will it actually be him, or a robot version like Dedede?He already had the polygon thing going on between him and Miracle Matter, so it's hard to tell.
i'm actually buying a switch 2 for this game!
>>543769154Someone make a mock up with the new riders on the rider select screen so we can speculate about how many are left
>>543769274>spoilerAnon they literally said no DLC in the direct though
>>543769274>spoilerhe addressed that and said everything that will be in the game will be in the gameHe also won’t make a follow up for that reason
>>543767832100 out of 10 like holy fuck this blows mario kart out of the water.
>>543768548considerate for the needs of the disabled/10
>>543769154Check what he said in the original Japanese. The meaning might be a bit more clear.>>543769274He repeatedly said there won't be any.
Air Ride and Top Ride are going to be dead online within the first month lol.
>>543769348There's 20, and it looked like the menu was sized for 23 + the random button.Of course, they could shuffle things around and just have the 20.
>>54376793410/10 dude he still has ittoo bad im not buying the game due to not owing a switch 2 (im not spending over 500 bucks for 1 game. i only care about this game and nothing else on the switch 2 ) >>543769018i love this super so much
>>543769458*the needs of the susiefags
>>543769298I’d assume him and nightmare are the real deal and this is just a flashy intro
The JP website got updated, check out all the new stuff bros:https://www.nintendo.com/jp/games/switch2/aaaba/index.html
>>543769018>mega staru running memeI sleep>rick runningREAL SHIT
>>543769589>im not spending over 500 bucks for 1 game. i only care about this game and nothing else on the switch 2>tfw you're willing to drop $530+ for a single game but too poor to do soit fucking hurts
Why couldn't Adeleine be confirmed or disconfirmed...My heart can't take it.>>543767832Trash
>>543769486He says something to the effect of>These are the last new introductions!if Google translate is anywhere close to accurate. Guess that means we've seen everything this game has to offer in the way of characters.
>>543769857I'm sorry Adobro, maybe she'll be an unlockable.
>>543769857Keep crying, kek
>>543769857Don't be a gay about it, Elfilin isn't in either.At least you got 02 who was even more of a never ever.
>>543769348 there are 3 more machine slots left on the call menu... there's also 3 empty slots in the parking lot too........
I love that Marx looks more creepy here than cute.
>>543769034I pray they somehow let you play individual Mage-Sisters, just to show off their individual strengths just like in their Star Allies boss fights. As for bosses, I will cry if they somehow made Void Termina appear as one in a Boss Battle.Lastly, does anyone think some high-class manufacturer would make a Robo Dedede? There's Bandai, Good Smile, and Kotobukiya for options in model kits, but the former two can make some mad die-cast mixing on their high-end toys. While Nintendo had their origins as a toy company, they are ultimately better in their passion for video games, especially since I bet every Rider has a "partner machine" that will be reflected both in story and through amiibo.
>>543770098When he was revealing the legendary air rides I was half-thinking he'd be introducing a new one and making it into a trio
>>543770080His love for 64 starts and stops with his loli waifu, anon, he doesn't care about that
>>543770171 i would've jump off a bridge anon >>543770158 accurate to source material!
>>543770098I'm going to make a hunch and assume they're related to the bosses.
You only see it for a couple frames, but it looks like Bang-Bang might be coming back as the Missile enemy.
>>543769961.....accessory
>>543769961...sprite decal
This games looks great and all but $449.99 console + $69.99 game + $49.99/yr online + $49.99/per amiibo + tax + tip just to get a full experience is a tough sellCan one of you guys buy the game and can I come to your house to play instead :3
>>543770158I personally prefer the star allies design but I’m glad he took some pointers from it and didn’t just reuse the smash model that shows up for like 5 seconds
>Emerald Framers as their special>Revenge colors as their altI am so happy these little niggers are in.
>>543770158he looks retarded, just as god intended
>>543770080No one cares about non-playable characters. Any other kind of representation is just a consolation prize for coping.>>543770238Wrong
>>543770304 >robo dedede as a bike >nightmare ball form as another bike >ribbon carrying your character i'd be happy for you guys, i guess........
We still don’t know anything about this guy
>>543770693>No one cares about non-playable charactersSpeak for yourself retard, I'm elated we might get a chance to not only fight Nightmare but also have a high-stakes race within NOVA before jumping from his collapsed corpse as it fucking explodes.
Are you happy with the rest of the reveals, /kdg/?
>>543769702Dark Taranza, Lololo & Lalala's Revenge, and Dark Daroach are alt palettes. No clue if the others are meant to be references.20 characters and I think there was room for 24 spots. If there are any extras, we have 2-3 left. Depends on how they handle stuff like Random and Zorah/whoever the dark biker guy is.
>>543770906>>543770892Why is Taranza's spinneret so small and stubby now?
>>543770892 it's a good spread, i think.
REMINDERONLINE TESTS IN TWO WEEKS
>machines and people being connected as if their one is new for the series*cough*
>>543770847He's gonna take you on a road trip. Can't you read?
>>543770892They are fucking garbo.
>>543771027He got circumcised
>>543771215Even Daroach? I'm actually quite giddy he's in along with Waddle Dee
>>543770892>no squishyTRASH relax.
>>543770878None of that matters if we don't get good characters to play as
>>543770892Yeah I got the two dream friends I wanted and the other picks aren’t shabbyJust need Chilly now and I’ll be fully satisfied >>543771027Design preference Sakurai has I guessProbably also why Rick has bigger eyes and Daroach’s cape is tattered instead of having jagged edges like it usually does
>>543771027it's a chastity cage
>>543771305 nta but i don't know anyone with the roach as their goat
>>543771372But we do have good characters to play as>Marx>Taranza>Susie>Rick>Lololo & Lalala>Gooey
Squeak Squad... Home...
you know that one meme edit of the regi's running? we need that for rickdaroach got one for star allies.
>Fuuuuuck im such a left out bitch Which Kirby character am i referring to?
I hate this directI hate this gameI hate SakuraiI hate Kirby
>>543770158He looks like he's going to mutate and eat whatever is in his path
>>543772170 like one of these?
>>543772635Escargoon
Pure karma for the AdotardSakurai forever redeemedNow the Smash baby can crawl back to his Smashboards page now that he lost his angry Kirby fan army.Feels like August 8 again.
>>543772942My POV when im playing Space Harrier
>>543771608NTA but >SusieTrash character propped up by obese fetish fags and le girlboss lovers
>>543773124 lmao
>>543770847His name is Dark Motor
>>543768548
it's over
Time to obliterate susie skank coomers when I log in to this game.
>>543774241>t. tiff maining meta knight
>>543769034>>543774173Soon tm.My hope meter is high. Only because our savior god, zero two.
>>543767832>>543767934I like how they reinterpreted all of his weird junk as more realistic machine parts. I don't think I'd want him to look like this in the actual games, though.
>>543667192AAAAAAAAHHH SAKURAI WHY WOULD YOU REMOVE HIM IF WOULD NOT MAKE HIM PLAYABLE?!
>>543774397it's fumover brosBut seriously, do you think there will be any anime references in this game? We've already got the anime music and Item Bounce and everything, and the original game had the anime's version of Kabu.
>>543775641Tiff and Escargoon are the last reveals.
>>543770892Lololo, lalala and taranza make me extremely happy, this is actually meeting all my hopes and expectations.
Sakurai really put most of the little gamedev energy he has left in him into a game that will sell 1 million tops
Dedede does NOT need that many different mechas.
>>543776475 i think robo dedede is just a robot rather than being pilotable
>>543776475Is it supposed to be the same Mecha Dedede/Robo Dedede as Dream Course? They localized the name the same way.
>>543765016Hey anon, at the end of the presentation it was mentioned that the latin american announcer (A) will be Edson Matus, the guy who voices Goku in dbz kai and Charlie in smiling friends, i see this as an absolute win!
>>543776901 they took away his nipples... i can't believe sakurai is dark woke...
>>543770892Love how they made Taranza just go full Spiderman, swinging on webs and everything. Lololo & Lalala's animations are also really cute.Was hoping for the 64 girls (we literally have zero two and magman what's going on aaaaa) and for the enemies to be a bit more weird/obscure after seeing Starman.
>>543777209>what's going on aaaaaSakurai still hates Shimomura and Ado and will never let it go.
>>543770892Lololo and Lalala is such a based pick
>>543776281I'm expecting like 5-10 million sales lifetime, it's got the Smash hype behind it, it's a holiday game, and people are probably soured on Mario Kart WorldForgotten Land did numbers so that'll boost this too
>>543777608>people are probably soured on Mario Kart WorldNo?... Don't listen to youtubers.
>>543777209 >>543777331 shimomura hate can't be it they got rick as the dreamland 2 rep and gooey as the dreamland 3 rep if they're tallying all the shimomura stuff together they might just decide to stop it at that...
>>543777805I am sure even normies don't like driving in straight lines most of the time when they want to play onlineNot to say that MKW isn't selling gangbusters like Mario Kart typically does but that discontent with some will likely garner more Air Riders sales
The new songs are up on Nintendo Music. Any ideas what ??? is?
>>543777846Ado and the fairies is where Sakurai draws the line and as such they are the sacrificial lamb for his anger.
>>543778049>straight linesAgain, don't listen to youtubers.
>>543776281Kirby's grown a lot since the last full-fledged spin-off was made. Forgotten Land sold like 8 million. This also has the new console hype going for it. It'll be fine.
>They even let in Rocky?
>>543778432sorry lil igga it might be over
>when counting costumes, literally every single Dream Friend is in BUT Adeleine and the Mage SistersKWAB
>>543770892It's kind of funny how the only two who haven't been playable before are the Lololos and Scarfy.
https://www.nintendo.com/jp/games/switch2/aaaba/rider-machine/index.htmlclick on scarfy and wait
>>543779078>"it don't bite"
>>543778714>haven't been playable beforeI know what you meant.
>the render with meta knight on the shadow star was for the amiibo the whole timefeel kind of dumb for not realizing it
If you're not using Makiko Ohmoto as the announcer, you are not playing the game
This is the best Nightmare's Power Orb has ever looked.I know that's a weird statement.>>543781067fuck you customer service all the way
>>543768157>>543768336>all that stuff shown in the direct and the first thing you think of is AdoShe's too powerful...
>>543779580Bedroom eye.
>>543779580....................
>>543781409Cope
HOLY FUCK ZERO-TWO IS BACK? HOW?
>>543782195It's not the real one. I don't see no bandaid on this nigga >>543769034
As you know, he's still pretty cool, can't wait till someone here discovers how to crash the machine market
>>54378233402 finally healed up anon
>>543782584After fucking exploding? Do you know how many band-aids he'd need after that?
>>543782703Just 1 big band-aid and a kiss anon, it may have been a big boo-boo but rest assured a good kiss solves every problem
>>543782951But love hurts him...
>>54376903402 if he Read or Die
>Nightmare>02>that remix of his themeWhat are his chances as a boss?
>locker roomthe susiefagging will be unbearable
>>543783431>Not machine flexinga poor gummyless man's calling
>>543689443>>543692287>this guy was right
>>543773125Also full of secondaries tooHere's an easy way to spot a Susie secondary >they call her a robot
>>543768016TRVKE
>>543783814>Sakurai is a secondary
>>543746737Go back shitstirrer.
So let's say hypothetically someone wanted to marry their machine, is it legal? The machines are alive but are they like pets or people in kirby world? Does Wheelie have rights?
>>543779580 it looks pretty cool honestly, i like the parrot beak
>>543784086>Baseless claims right off the bat?
Details about the demo.https://www.nintendo.com/jp/topics/article/e33383d5-1c52-417f-8318-5f25ea65581dThere's three Air Ride courses and City Trial, and the Paddock is limited to 16 players instead of 32 like in the final game.If you preorder before the second weekend, you'll have access to a few hats in the demo.
>>543764421>>543764427>>543764913>>543769213Spider Fridays are back on the menu. AHAHAHAHAHAHA YEEEEESSSSS!!! HE LOOKS GREAT, TOO! I LOVE THE EMBOSSED PATTERN ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAPE! I CAN DIE HAPPILY! Ahem, I have a lot observations about this design I'd like to go over when I have more time...>>543767832Do you need to ask me? I got exactly what I wanted. I only wish they showed him wearing a funny hat.My deepest condolences to those left behind...
Saying it now Zorah's hotter than Neichel
Just watched the direct.It was neat, though I'm bummed Adeleine and Ribbon aren't in.Oh well, here's hoping they're unannounced unlockables.>thread is still shitposting and shitflinging over adeleineSigh, you guys never change, do you.At least Daroach is in
>>543785653 (me)>Adeleine and RibbonOh, and I forgot, Queen Ripple would be a neat addition too. Pitch as well
>>54376783220/10 I just wish the Starman amibo was coming out sooner or shown, I'm now guessing it's wave 4 at least
>>543785551Reminder that this is what he originally looked like
>>543781129>Smash 4 brings back Nightmare... but he's just a cardboard cutout that turns the lights off>Super Kirby Clash gives him several fights and his anime VA, though as an AU counterpart>Sakurai wasn't having any of that and brings out the big dick hyper-detailed 3D fight with both formsI love this trend of Kirby devs dunking on Nightmare's previous appearance.
...So what are the chances 3I/Atlas is an IRL version of Dark Matter, Kirbybros?
>>543785812>>543785653I'd say they may appear in road trip since we did get to see a lot of similar characters classic to old appear in itBetter question: Was Sakurai lying to us about riding Robo Dedede? I have full confidence that we will ride him in some way
>KIrby was putting his will into the starI too put my will into things like throwing Bricks at people, what have you been putting your will into recently?
>>543786070But I want to see Ribbon on an Air Ride Machine...Though I wouldn't play as Ado or Ribbon, I'm not a homo or girl, I'd just like to see them playable or at least acknowledgedAlso, yeah, Robo Dedede looked cool. Transformers vibes.>>543786272I hate that I'm saying this, but the "putting his will into it" reminded me of a series with a certain kind of key-shaped blade...Though it's reminiscent of other series too ofc, I've just got Nomura brainrot
>>543769348*coughs*(also you can shrink the CSS *coughs*)
>>543786070>I have full confidence that we will ride him in some wayPoor choice of words
What if Adeleine got old?
>>543787158
Grown-up adeleine is kinda cursed desu
>>543636042I called it
>>543636042>>543632372What flavor is dragoon?
>Dedede>Nightmare>Dark Matter(?)>NOVA>Marx>ZeroImagine telling someone we would get an Air Ride sequel, made by Sakurai, and it would have every 90s Kirby villain in it
>Elline is in the game>Its as a PNG assist thing
>>543782441Are these on his eyes or above said hypothetical eyes?
Are you ready for the age of the bulk star? No longer will it just be something you pick to beat dragoon in air glider.
>>543770892>no burning leo>he can get assist trophy'd nowFUCK
>>543790713They’re head accessories that get removed by copy ability hats so they probably wear them on their foreheads
>>543787623Horny and Ado don't go together, simple as. She's for cute only.
>>543790713im like 90% sure the gem is the eye
>>543770892el rato was my number 1 want so i am extremely happy. also really glad to see lololo and lalala again along with the others.
>>543546163what are you talking about?
>>543789319I'm honestly surprised she's even in the game, so I'll take it.
It's unlikely, and I might be reaching for something that isn't there but is it me or does the updated graphics of Beanstalk Park look more in tone to Floralia from TDX? Those bulb things look less like carriages and more like toned down Miracle Fruit. I couldn't help but notice it during the direct.>>543783814I really don't get how anyone could confuse Susie for a robot, she is (and by proxy, Haltmann too) obviously supposed to look reminiscent of a gray alien but more in tone with Kirby's cute aesthetics. You can see this in some of her early beta design with the shape of her eyes being more narrow and upturned like one. Hell, she and Haltman come and "invade" Dream Land with a giant space ship no less.
I can't tell if this is just supposed to be his darker palette from DL3 or specifically based on his inexplicably metallic shiny trophy from Melee.
>>543796448I sincerely doubt Sakurai would retcon something he created to bring it in line with someone else's lore. As cool as this direct was the omnipresent SuperStar wank reminds us of Sakurai's priorities.
Have all characters been revealed or do you think there are more?
>>543796985We're either going to get boss characters as playable or the another two Dream Friends and three enemies.
>>543796665Why not both?>>543796985Holding out hope for a few more characters we haven't seen yet, mainly Elfilin for me
>>543797140>Why not both?Fair 'nuff.
>>543796985Marx is revealed so Sakurai has officially blown his load. Aside from unlocking the "dark rider" I can entirely believe this is the full roster. The only remaining SuperStar rider he might want to include is a baby Dynablade or something, and I can't see him holding that for AFTER revealing his favorite character Marx.
holy kino
>>543776961Shit I missed that part since I was looking at other things, I'll take it! Would be cute if they brought back Karla Falcón to do the female announcer too, given she was Tiff's VA and all.
>>543796985I hope there's more.
>>543796985Seemed pretty final to me>>543796847>>543797698Holy shit stop crying kek
That last bit Sakurai said about "not making this an ongoing series" had me thinking. The directs or the series? If so,Is it right for this to be the last Air Ride ever? Should we have appreciated Kid Icarus Uprising more while it was still new?
HOT TAKEThe worst part of rosterfagging is when people desperately hope a character DOESN'T get in just to spite others. People like those are the lowest of the low.
>>543798416I'm glad you agree with me about the SuperStar wank, even if you'd prefer I don't point it out.
For the rato: Pointy cape or tattered cape?
>>543798641If I had to guess, this will probably be the last Air Ride that he directs. Maybe we'll get another Air Ride years down the line, but not by Sakurai. Dude's getting old, and I'm not sure how many games he's got left in him. It'd be nice to see him go back to Kid Icarus before he retires.
https://x.com/Shogo_Sakai/status/1981365501751341295Shogo Sakai composed and arranged the music for Floria Fields, Waveflow Waters, and Mount Amberfalls.
>>543798713All kinds of characters from, and nods to, the rest of the series that he had no say in, and you still can't help but cry and piss yourself because maybe Marx showed up or NOVA is there, lmao>>543798815Pointy cape, it gives him this weird Dracula-ish phantom edge that really works for the thief he is
>>543798713>>543799181Can you guys fucking not
>>543799181Weird that you're still whining about someone pointing out the wank even though you clearly agree. I hope you sort out your personality disorder, anon.
>>543796448Susie's face just ended up really close to typical mecha girl designs. Blue eyes, no mouth. And her skin tone is occasionally depicted as pure white.Black eyes or nostrils could've helped with the gray alien look.
>>543798815Pointy cape
>>543799698Z tier bait, please leave.
>>543799789>susie with nostrilsNever put that thought into my head again.
look at this goofy face
>>543800949She looks like she has football proportions, I wanna kick her across the field so a teammate can get a touchdown
why do they hate these character so much
>>543797719silly little hats make everything better, someone should post the meta knight "i want a hat comic"; would be fitting
>>543802826Because of "WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH THERE CAN'T BE MY HECCIN HUMANERINOS IN MY KIRBYRINO!!!" autism.
>>543802826I am entirely ambivalent towards Adeleine and Ribbon. I do not love them, nor do I hate them, I merely accept their presence as something that may or may not happen without strong feelings one way or the other.
>>543804812NO ANON YOU NEED TO GET MAD AND PICK A SIDE TO SKUB POST ABOUT
>>543804812seething
>>543802826adeleine's gonna show up in road trip, trust me. ribbon is at kirby's house cooking bugzzy
>>543804812This. They've never appealed to me but it's not like I hate them, they're cute but that's about it. Their fans suck though.
what does it say
>>543805686Probably nothing. The length is not even a multiple of 8
>>543797719
>>543383305Hell yeah.>>543770539Kind of surprised. I missed these two.
Best part of the direct.
>>543808520Incredibly cute, anon, well done
>>543808652Thank you. I think I'll go ahead and draw Susie sleeping next, that scene was adorable.
>>543809072I had a feeling the second I saw that bit. Looking forward to seeing that, too
>>543783814>>543796448She isn't?I just figured her and Haltman were from a race of alien robots that have families somehow because that sounds like something a Kirby game would have in it.
>>543799672One must imagine Ribbon happy
I dread the mood of the Fairy Friday threads for a while.
>>543811912Nobody there was delusional enough to think Ripple was going to be in this game, come on.
>>543811912>>543812159Holy fuck, those threads have been going on for two years
>>543783717I CAN SEE THE FUTUREif I start having prophetic dreams about angry space rats I'll tell you guys.
>>543812859He's so cute
>>543812393they have been going on longer then that my friend.
>>543812952They still posting the exact same shit every week like a bunch of braindead retards?
>>543811912i'd argue they'd just keep going as mainly imagedumps with some talk of kirby 64 along with some screeching about how people on /v/ are having any sort of fun. as a ripplefag i know she was going to be a never ever and will most likely never show up in the series again outside of cameos or if HAL actually uses ripple star as a major location for something.
>>543812859>turns into a fucking carTRANSFORMERS, MORE THEN MEETS THE EYEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQB6OYxHaTQ
>>543812859Best robot Dedede variant by a mileIt’s kinda funny how many of them there are
>Rick just gets off his cart and goes sicko modeYeah this game is going to be quite good (even though I'm not really big into racing games), should be a really charming time. Also more Susie porn is a plus.
>>543814936This but with MetaSusie.
>>543812859I hope the boss artwork shows up ingame, so Nightmare and maybe-02 get renders.

>>543815249>twenty fucking minutes
>>543815249didn't sakurai even say the anime wasn't that good at one point?
>>543815359the twenty minute esgargooner session.
>>543816142>that episode where nme gave everyone a masturbation addictionStill crazy they got away with that
>>543816527didn't the Halloween episode have a joke about sex dungeons?
>>543815534idk
Rick and Starman have achieved power greater than most, the club of no need for a machine when you can run or fly grows. Taranza swings so he's an honorary member even if he doesn't have legs
>>543785551His stinger looks like a prolapsed anus, otherwise he looks really good.
>>543814936>those darker flowersThought she was brapping for a second
>This absolute fat fuck passes you and then hops off his machine and starts booking it
>>543817226I wonder if you lose your machines special mechanics when you use those types of supers? Would be weird having to adapt on the fly to a different type of drift mid race.
>>543817226real spider-man hours.
>>543817508From what we see for the few times you get to see the end of them, they just sorta pop back on with a little animation like Starman's posing there. By the look of the demo I saw where someone played starman, he was just going very fast so I couldn't really tell but it looked like he had basic armor on it and could fly high and the guy wasn't exactly using the wing star so I think they have their own properties while in super
>>543815359>>543816142you're right, it's too short in an alternate world it would've been an even faggier 2-3 hour video essay about every single time escargoon appears and escar-gone is the saddest episode of any anime ever (with overused videogame sad music of course). all while barely bringing up air riders
>>543802826It's manufactured outrage. I bet $100 that all the shitflinging over Ado is just some trolls trying to start shit and tank the thread quality by making people argue over skub
Who are YOUR mains /kbg/? I didn't add the couple but their novelty is one I will play, imagine two people actually swaping the controller when they shake switch with them
>>543818320If I ever get a Switch 2 and pick up this game?Probably Kirby.
>>543815087He does, so let's assume the others will to.
>>543817183at any rate, the anime isn't bad but it's not great it has some good stand out episodes but most of it is kinda ehh... and I say that as someone who likes the show.>>543817973>"like whenever escargoon isn't on screen people should be asking, where's escargoon?"
>>543815087>maybe-02>maybeThat halo and those wings make this more than just "maybe" imo...Imagine/inb4 they use Ribbon, but not as a rider; instead she helps you fight the boss like in 64
>nobody talking about this
>>543818320that fur texture on rick is something else.anyhow, THE GOO MAN.
flop directflop game
>>543818697Shit bait
>>543818320Susie and Taranza. I'm a Susiefag through and through and Taranza's web swinging shit looks cool as hell.
>>543818320daroach, rick and sometimes gooey
>>543818697Nah man, it looks good, and (at least one of) the 64 girls are probably in.
>>543818607It's obviously at least based on 02, but we don't know if it's actually him because he looks so different.Compare that to Nightmare's Power Orb, which looks exactly the same as always.
>>5438190420mega 2henron
>>543818607Imagine showing this screenshot to someone a year ago
One of the girls from 64 gets in, but *only* one. Who do you pick?
>>543818642maybe my shitpost about the ancient returns arc is actually real.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j73gYxsxRrs
>>543819372Ripple, no contest.
>>543819372Ado from DL3.
Adeleine, Ribbon, etc are all well and good, but what about other characters from the DMT?I.E Dark Matter Swordsman? What if he got in? What would be his special?
Taranza x Queen Ripple
>>543819592since gooey already has mock matter lasers, she should bust out the rainbow sword and do something cool.
>>543819592A beefier version of Gooey's that briefly turns him into Real Dark Matter with a wider spread of projectiles that travel a little bit slower
>>543819592>What would be his special?Bro what do you fucking thinkI still think rider man is in and pic related is his special
>>543819372Here's my pick.
>>543819827I wonder if that one anon who ships them is still here.
>>543819372Is Acro a chick? Let her in!
>>543776961>(A) will be Edson Matus>the guy who voices Goku in dbz kai and Charlie in smiling friends,Don't care for this.>Evangelion content through Kaworu, Jim Crocodile Cook, and SupermanNow we're talking.
>>543819372realistically speaking? it'd be ribbonbut fairy queen packing the crystal gun to kill the zero two shipping would be glorious.
>>543773125I hate how I can't find enough normal art on Susie or even normal discussion since it's either the gross stuff, acting like she's utterly ireedamable or problematic in a series where Hyness a cultist turned good or Meta Knight had no repercussions for his attempted Dreamland conquest with the Halberd and people trying to be hipsters about a character that debuted in one of the more popular Kumazaki titles
>>543818642Reminds me of this thing from Brawl
>>543815031I wish to get more Metasusie, though the one artist I comm the stuff is super expensive
Kirby Air Riders storymode feels like the starting to One Piece. Everyone just setting sail with their chosen found rider vehicles to find a special something that may or may not exist.
>>543820386>but fairy queen packing the crystal gun to kill the zero two shipping would be glorious.i feel like that'd just add fuel to the fire for people that don't see it as a completely wholesome relationship.
>>543821070Except Air Riders is actually good and will have some kind of payoff at the end
>>543818918NTA, but does he?The opening animation looks like it's going for a "reconstructed from polygons" schtict. He could be a copy or something, but it'd feel weird when Nightmare seems to be normal (Robo Dedede is due to Dedede himself being a regular character this time around).
>>543767934>30 years later, sakurai finally gets to continue the fountain/nova plot threadJust imagine how happy he is.
>>543819372The fairy with green hair.
>>543821070now that you mention that, it's even more kino
>>543821076>plot twist: the queen was the abuser in the relationshipbravo, kojima.
>>543821383Sakurai never cared about lore.
>>543821070>THE ANCIENTS ARE REAAAAAALLLLLLLLL>>543821153>even oda doesn't know what the one piece actually is.
Don’t make me call the gang, you don’t want trouble when they have to show up
Someone is going to post all the cutscenes on youtube and Sakurai will have a crashout over it
It probably won't happen but I think it'd be cute if Computer Virus can randomly pick between the Super Star and Ultra designs for the windows, since the one in the direct is very clearly based on Super Star vanilla
>>543822095is it THIS kind of gang?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8vKoU-9AkA
>>543767832>>543767934How is this guy still alive
https://youtu.be/F6rBRyUMAHY
I wish I could put $70 in Sakurai's bank account directly to play air riders rather than having to financially support Nintendo
>>543821791considering like >>543821356 said he looks like a bunch of polygons i'd argue the zero two we end up seeing might be a fake considering the bad guy i feel like they all would probably be replicas maybe? which could take whatever people want to do with the relationship in a lot of ways
>>543804492errr, ribbon and the queen are fairies, not humans
>ripple queenDoes she have motion? Does it jiggle, does it quake or does it ripple? Can sh
>>543823382Sakurai didn't make the game alone.
>>543824272I'd be fine with some of that going to bandai namco
>>543821070I’d argue it’s more like rave master or red line
>>543824262>Can sh
>>543799845Concession accepted.
>>543799845You mean red tier anon
>>543819372I can't believe they design such a cute character like ripple and then just never use her again for anything, i don't think she even has a real name
>>543778432
>>543824675Can't believe they got 'im. I liked him, too. Such a shame.
>no Mr. FrostySakurai really didn’t want to animate him throwing it back huh?
>>543820643what artist?
>>543824902kek.
>>543825571Oh god I forgot, yeah. They didn't add Mr. Frosty.This is even more of a travesty than not adding Ado wtf
>>543825672mr flosty will be in, trust.
>>543778432>
>>543825768>flosty
>>543826086His cousin, he’s really into dental
>>543771512You'd be mistaken.
>>543804492Nightmare got in with his ugly ass human face though
>hating rocky>but letting Scrafty slide on by
>>543826248Daroach is so kino. I'm giving him and rick all my cheese and crackers.
You know, some of these characters are gonna be hidden behind the Checklist
>>543826379>Scrafty
>>543825332>barely exists aside from freaking out and getting a laser shot right up her asshole hot>doesn't even have a name>fans love her to the point the 4koma artists openly talked about liking herhow can one DORK be so powerful?
>>543826447What has he been smoking anon, those are the eyes of a crackhead
>>543826248rick edit of this WHEN.
>story is for everyoneI can’t wait for starman’s heroics and wish, what could he even desire?
>>543826632She looks like a fujo who masturbates to Kirby yaoi all day
>>543826086I was joking about the typo in amazing mirror.
Elline bros, how are we feeling?
>>543826640He’s currently on his homeless crack addict arc, that’s why his cape is torn
>>543820454It depends on the artist, you usually want to find one of those specialty Susie artists on twitter because they all follow each other and shear each other's stuff. I'd usually suggest pixiv but when it comes to Susie, a good amount of it is porn. There is a lot of cute artists on there though. If we're talking character focused artist like fanartists who only draw Meta Knight or King Dedede awawa427_susie is a Susie focused artist I like a lot. >acting like she's utterly ireedamable or problematic in a series where Hyness a cultist turned good or Meta Knight had no repercussions for his attempted Dreamland conquest with the Halberd and people trying to be hipsters about a characterSee, that's something weird about Susie. I've always seen her as relatively gray baddie in terms of morals and at absolute worst, she's just straight up retarded in her ways. While she doesn't go out of her way to do explicit evil for the sake of evil the evil things she does are not out of malice but purely a means to complete her goal of revenge though the real batshit part of it all is that Susie clearly had the means and ability to reveal herself as Haltmann's daughter at any point and for who knows how long she's been at the company but the, depending on how you look at it either evil or retarded, thing is that she just chooses not to for the sake of her own petty revenge. She was that hellbent on "teaching her old man a lesson" she intentionally took advantage of the concentrated dementia Star Dream was dosing Haltmann up with.>>543826447Never gave it much thought, but I like that they lengthened Daroach's snout and made it a litttle more boxy it looks so goofy.
>>543826835we know what meta knight would want.this game already has hats though.
>>543826994I wonder how many of these route characters there's gonna beadeleine and ribbon are probably going to be route characters and people should be fine with that, better than nothing
>>543826835>we might have a story mode for each characterThat would be so peak. I wonder if it's going to be like Skull Girls where each character wants to make a wish on NOVA or is it purely the Air Ride machines being manipulated by NOVA or Zorah
>>543826994Better than nothing I guessI have gripes with pngs in Sakurai games ever since spirits were made a thing and trophies were thrown out the window
have a sleepy shitpost.
>>543826632>Satoshi (probably a guy)>"I decided to draw myself as her"wut
>>543826248>>543826447dark nebula is the last secret boss
>Starman, rocky, and Rick kill godWhat a cool game
>>543827510Star to star communication will purify him, then he’ll get a cool cape
>>543827617Rocky and Rick have killed God before.
>>543827816That was on the Kirby boosters, this is Rick in his glorious 1v1
>>543826874>fujo queen ripplegod, she's perfect.
>>543826994If these artworks didn't look so jarring it'd be better I thinkWhat stopped them from using the same artstyle as Rocky here >>543826105>>543827348Now that I think about it, it's fucking Kirby, there's no way they're still worried about CERO upskirts wtf
>>543826874good
>>543827437Why is everyone assuming it's the same Nova? I thought we already established there were a bunch of those made.
>>543827816Darach at the PEAK
>>543828176>queen ripple forcing ribbon to force kirby to fuck meta knight and record it for her pleasurei could see it
Whoa whoa hold on hereWe're gonna hit the bump limit at this rate, we're supposed to be dying before then
>>543828187Even if NOVA blew up they could have repaired his old ass. Wasnt the entire plot of PR about repairing Star Dream?
>>543828609Staman says she’s not fat just very smart and full of personality
>>543828609is that a nipple
>>543828714MOOOOOODSSSSSSS
>>543828714Its just buttons, she's a robutt afterall
>>543828985>she's a robutt afterallShe isn't....
>>543829104I refuse to believe she hasnt loaded herself with cybernetic augmentations.
>>543828532what a retarded little NEET, who made her queen?>>543828714thank goodness nipples don't exist in kirby
someone is gonna put loss on a custom paint job, aren't they?
Does dragoon even like riders?is dragoon female?
>>543828779NeatSource?
>>543829569whomestive?
>>543828609She could crush Meta Knight into a blue splatter on pavement holy shit
dammit elfilis could have been a boss
Skirbyanon on suicide watch kek
>>543830132>boss is set up like a drag race, the goal is to mow elfilis down while attacking him.
>>543829627The legendary machine
>>543826270But that's from a Sakurai game so it's uhhh... le good!
>>543830350Correct!
I can't believe Ribbon made it in.
>>543830216>just portals aheadgit gud idiot lmao
>>543830539>implying you don't chase him through the portalsThe whole point of a drag race is to be the fastest so I like to think speed is a major point.

>>543830539>the humble Rick, red Kirby, starman, dedede, and rock special
>>543830518heh.
>>543830657my diddy kong racing boss races PTSD is flaring up.
>>543825332Her official "name" is just Queen.
>>543827108I'll give some leeway that Max Profit Haltmann probably had the just vague memory of his daughter left but also clearly couldn't remember anything about her due to Star Dream since girl is right in front of him and just hires her as a secretary which is probably why Susie wanted to teach him a lesson/wake him up. Honestly I'm hoping we do get that Planet Robobot Deluxe game eventually since Magolor Epilogue did a lot to clarify and make Magolor likable so something like that for Susie would be pretty neato though I do think she should be kept a bit morally grey since that's the fun of her being a polite and bubbly yet also clearly a bit amoral. I think a lot of the contention with Susie is people being twitter brained about her being a part of a corporate company invading planets and making Meta Knight a cool cyborg despite the tone clearly still being cartoony plus other characters being forgiven for worse though it's not helped by the Stat Allies eng localisation making it sound like she's still evil. Still thanks for chatting with me dude since nice to get some actual talk on a character I like and giving me the recs, honestly Pixiv is a godsend for finding high quality Kirby art as have so much bookmarked on my account there. First made a pixiv mainly to find Godzilla and Ultraman art so the Kirby stuff was a great bonus for it to.
>>543831014>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1wAnVkC1_c
>>543826270Yeah but he's space wizard Dracula so technically not human suppose. Actually I'm surprised with all the lore additions and what not that Nightmare is relatively insignificant compared to Dark Matter, Nova, the Ancients or even Drawcia besides being crucial in King Dedede's character development and a big role in the anime.
>>543831562his role is to be the eternal jobber.
>morpho star
>>543831371UUUH HUUHH HUUUUUHHH
>Flight Warp Star is STILL locked to Free RoamFucking WHY?
>>543827167>spoilerThat would make me perfectly satisfied. I'm worried I'm not even gonna get that bare minimum.
>>543818320If I ever play this (which is a big maybe since I just don't really care about kart racers, never even played the first one and doubt I'll buy a Switch 2 unless they go on DEEP discount) they would probably be Lolo/Lala, Rick, Gooey, Susie and Taranza.Can't believe Elfilin isn't confirmed yet.>>543819372Adeline would make the most sense but I would love a fairy team where it is just some of the Ripple Star fairies teaming up to pilot a machine with Ribbon or the queen as the leader.>>543826994I guess it is nice she got anything at all but this is the lamest possible consolation prize.
>>543832272One kick in the balls so you know you're not dreaming.It's nice it actually does something now, though.
>>543831802Man, I love how consistently violent Galacta Knight is to anyone that summons or releases him. Guy just wants to enjoy peace and quiet inside a crystal at this point.
>>543832272Because the thing is entirely busted outside of just free roaming
>>543832468>spoiler
>>543832726Explains his reaction to Morpho perfectly, don't you think?
>>543833314>picMy guess is no one's ever loved you before.
>>543833534Nah he’s kinda right, it would be funny as fuck especially here after how much that one guy spams them
>>543832272Because Dragoon's super flight is supposed to be special.
>>543833703The fuck are you talking about? They're not spammed any more than Susie is at this point.
>>543833703Hoping a character doesn't get in just to spite some rando is a very uncool and rosterfaggy thing to do mate
>>543827310Can't wait until they make him playable in just twelve years from now.
>>543833427Honestly the idea of Galacta Knight seeking to just have a peaceful end after his power grew strong enough to require him being isolated from existence when he used to be one of the fabled 4 heroes is an interesting idea so yeah would track the only time we see him chill is when Morpho arrives to absorbs him.
The disappointment of not seeing playable Mr. Frosty just hit me:(
>>543834225now you know how 64fags feel
>>543834225Nintendo gave sakurai an ultimatum: don’t model the cheeks or don’t have him in the game. Sakurai has integrity
>>543831257I get what you mean, I honestly don't blame Haltmann at all. I'm always confused by people who assume Haltmann is explicitly evil and actively forgot about Susie or something equally stupid because it's clear that he did care about her and still did in his jumbled scrambled up mind, he just forgot about her. A Susie epilogue that turns her into a "undeniable good guy" would be so lame, if I had a hand in it I'd have Susie explore the wreckages of HWC and its subsidiaries for liquefiable assets for some financial cushioning and useful tech (that are also upgrades) to jumpstart a HWC 2.0 would be a good setting because she's still being a greedy lil' shit and trying to restart the company that has brought trouble and harm to millions but in doing so she learns more about her father and his downward spiral. Yeah, I believe that's where most of her contention comes from too. She's either this irredeemable villain (who's somehow worse than the actual villans) or she's a girlboos who has done nothing ever wrong ever. It's weird when at best, Susie's morally gray in that she does things for the right and/or sympathetic reasons with the worst possible execution. No problem I love talking about Susie too, she's one of my favorites in the series. No, Pixiv is amazing for finding art of Kirby. Susie is just in that awkward zone where she's not super popular that she has a ton of dedicated artwork postings and a lot of her really good artwork tends to get posted by an artist between the artist's other Kirby artwork on twitter before uploaded all together in a single "log" on Pixiv. It doesn't help that searching for Susie brings up Susie from Deltarune or other characters because people tend to use Susie alone when referring to her rather than Susie Haltmann.
>>543831562He has a lame design and seems like a low tier threat so people just ignore him I guess. Dude looks like a F-Zero character.
>>543834225I was a Mr. Frosty believer. I got too cocky. Lololo and Lalala chads won too hard.
>winter with no Mr. Frosty or snow related repLike Christmas with no Krampus or snow
>>543831562Nightmare's a relatively simple concept in that he's sentient nightmares given form and the Star Rod/Fountain of Dreams has been relatively on the backburner. The Dark Matter get by due to their mysterious nature (sentient dark clouds led by giant bleeding eyes), Nova gets by on being an ancient machine and Drawcia... I guess Kumazaki really likes Drawcia.>>543834225Sakurai knew players would be too distracted.
Looks like at least some of the Road Trip helpers are available as icons.
>>543836164Dedede is a penguin.
>>543836263He’s no master of the cold, he’s just a fat ass with no jolly ass
>>543836202fatty whale lost his pipe...
>>543836539Smoking is a bad influence on children you know.
>>543836184Fairs though I do find it odd since Nightmare was the first significant Kirby Big Bad and the introduction of the lil pink guy wandering into something bigger in scope to what he expected. Plus being a Nightmare entity in a place called Dreamland feels like he would be a bigger deal but at least he still gets use in spinoffs and is gonna be making a big return in Kirby Air Riders it seems. I dunno I've just got a real soft spot for the guy as a Kirby villain, really just love his design and more overt personality though there isn't a Kirby villain I dislike.
bakingwill be up in a bit
>>543838427>>543838427>>543838427
>>543835371Yeah despite loving Metasusie stuff I wouldn't have her be a clear cut good guy/fully redeemed since that loses a lot of her charm and contrast between how polite she acts while also having a vain streak and a clear lower view of most others. Keeping Susie as at most an Anti-heroine suits her compared to Magolor having a full redemption arc. Her having such a normal name means you have to specify what franchise and what not when searching which is annoying, most other Kirby characters with some exceptions don't have that hassle. It'd certainly fun to see what busted Moveset and upgrades the gal would get in her own mode, especially since they could use the Mech ability as an additional template beyond just Jet. I feel like the final boss for a hypothetical Susie Epilogue would probably be something like the digital ghost of Star Dream, perhaps it trying to spread out to posess the universes technology or it's just inside a cobbled together angry shell lashing out wildly with scattered traces of Max Haltmann's personality and memories driving it insane conflicting with how it remembers how Susie was responsible for its downfall. Though frankly Susie and Taranza should be seething that Leongar got his soul patched together with no issue while Sectonia and Max Haltmann are obliterated.
