we died early again...
>>568968887I’m really hoping that hypothetical june direct has some kirby stuff in it, speaking of which https://strawpoll.com/kjn1DL5v0yQ
>>568969504put those grippers away.
>If you could change one thing within the entire franchise what would it be?Meta Knight's armor is a matte coal black instead of purple.
>>568971770Gooey is playable in every game main, either as Kirby's P2 or as a Super Mario Galaxy "You can now play as Luigi" type of thing.
kirby of the stars
>>568966978>QQTTgive her an actual name and rip the band-aid off regarding the whole "ancients are humans" thing, also a bit more lore that doesn't involve them would be a nice change of pace.
>>568966978>QQTTremove Adeleine and Ado and replace her with Elline.
>>568966978>QQTT Replace Bandana Dee with Animal Friends and/or Gooey.
>>568979920>>568980307>>568980978it's qott not qqtt
>>568981060eh whatever.
>>568966978>QOTTMake Shimorura's style the standard instead of Sakurai's garbage.
>QOTTMeta Knight stays as a recurring antagnoist and/or anti-hero figure rather than being a protector and/or Kirby's close friend.
>>568982804>Sakurai's garbageIt's not garbage, Sakurai's vision is the coolest Kirby ever gets within the series.
>>568977209he gets that title after beating up the moon rat and not from a mediocre anime.
>>568980307Nobody cares about Rainbow Curse, this would solve nothing.
>>568980978deetards arent gonna like this!!
>QQTT Replace Animal Friends and/or Gooey with Bandana Dee
Could you not
>>568982945Sakurai hasn't had a cool vision since Super Star, he should've stopped trying by the anime.
>QQTT >Replace Animal Friends and/or Gooey with Bandana DeeBlandana seething alert.
>>568983157Yeah but Shimomua games are fucking slogs to get through.
>>568982812meta knight should be down to fight whoever the fuck, be it monke or Kirby.
>>568983012i respect most dees over bandana
Bandana Waddle Dee is a cute lad
>>568983384waddle doo enjoyers are vastly superior.
>>568983268Not as much as Kumazaki games though, at least Shimomura games aren't scared to be a little challenging from time to time. The perfect middle ground was in Amazing Mirror and they never captured that magic since.
>>568983272Meta Knight should be more violent. In fact, Meta Knight should be the supreme leader of Dream Land.
Waddle Dee is cuter. Bandana is like a strict nanny, especially with his doo rag.
>>568983604well that and winning grammies and having his theme music stolen by that random circus that one time.
>>568983615Aw, I think his bandana makes him cute. He looks like he's trying hard to be cool which wraps back around to being endearing. It gives off a hardworking boyish vibe.
>>568983268Then just use the style of the Shimomura games and keep everything else intact. A lot of modern Kirby titles make the mistake of only pandering to Sakurai nostalgia without much of his gameplay punch, and it gets repetitive really quickly.
>>568984113I prefer Sakurai's visuals, they're cool.>A lot of modern Kirby titles make the mistake of only pandering to Sakurai nostalgia without much of his gameplay punch, and it gets repetitive really quickly.I do agree with this though. They tend to lack that punchiness in the gameplay that makes games like Super Star such classics.
>>568984113man yearns for the sovl of shimora and the gameplay of sakruai and the lore of kumazaki...
Years of smash brainrot ruined sakurai's visuals.
>tfw the next game will be more blandana kumazaki slop
>>568984412never let your wife come up with design choices, ask garry why.
>>568984867who?
>>568984867>wifeI thought Sakurai was gay?
>>568984412>Years of smash brainrot ruined sakuraiFTFY.
>>568985436>all that bitching and moaning over two characters not being added than any actual genuine critique of the game or its visuals
>>568985514Is this in reference to Ultimate or Air Riders?
>>568985654Ultimate most likely.
I HATE BANDANA WADDLE DEE. I HATE ADO. I HATE ADELEINE. I HATE GOOEY. I HATE KUMAZAKI. I HATE SAKURAI. I HATE SHIMOMURA.
>>568985883>
>>568985883'k
>>568985697Most of Ultimate's gameplay faults were just how much it copied elements of Smash 4 without improving on them. In hindsight, Ultimate was no better than Mario Maker 2 in terms of sequels, but it was always difficult to point out due to the cultivated hype culture around Smash. Unfortunately, this explanation kind of applies to Air Riders as well.
>>568986168>Oh Flagship, how I love her>*whispers* Fukui's money
>>568985339the creator of s&box let his wife make horrid sausage people that literally everyone told him before that came out mind you looked like shit but since his wife made them he put them in anyway and lo and fucking behold people hated it.
>Still no new contributions to the collabMan... Guess I'll start brainstorming the next one for now, though, I'm not sure what the ocassion would be yet... >>568966978>If you could change one thing within the entire franchise what would it be?Honestly a hard question for me, can't really say I have any major grievances with the series that'd be worth a blanket change. Genuinely drawing a blank, I'm satisfied with how things are. If it's retroactively... I guess I just wish the Shimomura and Flagship games had more Super Star-style controls. I enjoy them as they are, but they always felt a bit needlessly restrained in terms of Kirby's moveset (not the biggest fan of his general feel in Shimomura's stuff admittedly.) I love this series a lot still.>>568971770...this is a cool idea though, something like the NES sprite being updated as that moreso than the purple could be pretty slick
>>568985390why would you think that?
>>568988729You don't think so either?
>>568988197>...this is a cool idea though, something like the NES sprite being updated as that moreso than the purple could be pretty slickFinally, someone else sees the vision. Black, blue, and gold are such a striking and cool color combination. Meta Knight's purple armor is nice, but I think it makes him looks too friendly whereas making his pauldrons and sabatons a black or even an extremely dark, muted, blue would make him look more imposing and militant.
>>568988729Just LOOK at him
writefags reccomend me your best kirby fanfictions
beam bros ww@
>>568992428Next 3D game, hopefully. Don't think it should be too hard to adapt, just have the beam whip move around Kirby instead of overhead. Maybe have the jumping barrage aim directly under him instead of diagonally for readability

>>569104234funnily enough someone did make a what if comic wherein fecto was the part that escaped from the split, it's...okay.
>>568988197Kinda shameful I haven't decided on a contribution yet lol
>>569105628Care to post it?
>>569105921sure.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9kVfFzPiGs
>>569105835How do you even contribute to it? There’s no link or anything I’ve seen.
>>569105835Well, anyone having interest at least is reassuring. Not like there's ever a deadline or anything of the sort.>>569106565>There’s no link or anything I’ve seen.I'll admit, I didn't repost it since I figured no one was interested anymore, this was the latest version. It's basically an open canvas, just pick a spot 'n doodle, make sure you download it at fullsize, keep it 1920x1080p, and make sure you download and upload as PNG. The "gimmick" for this one was supposed to be keeping your contributions to a GameBoy/Color/8bit color palette, but it's not mandatory, moreso a suggestion. The latest post for it on the last thread was this >>567127537
>>569107132>keeping your contributions to a GameBoy/Color/8bit color palette...if you do wanna do it and it's any help though, here's a PNG I made with the different GameBoy color palettes I found

>>569128747welp.
>>569141732Meant to reply to >>569115582
>>568983272Isn't that effectively what he does? Meta Knight is a boss fight in Forgotten Land after all.
>>569141732wouldn't be the first time.
>>569128747On one hand I do really wish the game would keep getting updates, but on the other, I can't say having a game that's properly "complete" is a bad thing.
>>569128747This fucker needs to stop talking and stay far away from any future Kirby-adjacent project.
>>569128747:(
>>569155190fully disagree on that granted your most likely getting your wish anyway cause i doubt sakurai even wants to come back to the series.honestly i just want him to make new stuff that isnt smash bros related cause being real with you i have no faith in nintendo anymore he is the only Nintendo-adjacent person i care about left.

kirby bein cool
>>569154414The game is not “complete,” it’s missing several key features and has GLARING omissions that would not slide under HAL.
>>569202787The only thing I can kinda complain about is the lack of classic Top Ride tracks personally, otherwise I definitely feel the game is very complete.
>>569202787Yeah, how come most riders only have 1 alt color? It's retarded, recolors are very easy to make. It could've used an extra City Trial map and more tracks too. The game has a lot of stuff overall, but you have to enjoy all modes for it to truly feel complete. If you main one mode and don't like the rest it'll feel lacking.
CAW
>>569154414The only way I can see Air Riders being "complete" is if it was running exclusively on Smash logic. For a Kirby title, it did not earn the right to be finished at all.
>>569211648Can anyone translate this from Schizo to English?
>>569212234Only Smashtards would think this counts as a finished game for the Kirby franchise.

I support Kirby x ChuChu, not because I care for it but because it shuts down Kiribbon, which indirectly shuts down all things associated with Ribbon and her ilk.
I need Galacta Knight so bad. Why is he so gorgeous? I need to be his and dominated by him in every way and it makes me sad he isn't real. Anybody else feel this way about any other Kirby characters?
>>569290218buds and pals
>>569321318Galacta Knight has serious 'dangerous ethereal pretty boy' vibes, it makes you wonder how he is in bed doesn't it? I feel similarly about Meta Knight but I'm more of a shipper than a yume.
>>569321318you a fan of sephiroth by chance?
