Why Meta-Knight instead of King Dedede?

Why Meta-Knight instead of King Dedede?

Attached: Smash Villains.png (1250x443, 1013K)

Meta Knight is more serious, DeDeDe is too much of a trickster to be considered an actual rival/villian. And hes never been outright malicious, just greedy.

Then again neither does MetaKnight. But Zero isnt in the game so they couldnt use him.

at a glance he's obviously more of a villain, Dedede isn't very intimidating he's just a goofy penguin

rewatch the first one nigga

Why Dedede or Meta Knight and not Marx, Dark Matter, or even Nightmare?

Metaknight acts like an actual rival, always attempting to have fair swordfights and the like.
Dedede and Kirby only clash when the latter suspects the other of wrongdoing.

king dedede was meant to be the joke of the krool trailer

This pretty much. King Dedede is too goofy to take him seriously, which every character in is clearly meant to look genuinely sinister, even the goofier ones like Bowser and K. Rool
Not playable

>Nightmare
Siegfried isn't in the game yet

What other villains can even be added?

>Captain Falcon :Goroh or Black Shadow
>Ness/Lucas: Porky
>Yoshi: Kamek

it still had meta knight

Because the trailer is titled 'Rivals.' If it was 'Villains' then you'd see Andross and Mother Brain instead of Wolf and Ridley.

Medusa as a Palutena echo

There was that time when metaknight went apeshit and tried to take over dreamland by force

If it was really about rivals, you'd have Pit and Dark Pit.

Nobody gives a shit about Kid Icarus.

Can Ganondorf be considered a rival?

Yes. He may be the main villain but he's also Link's direct rival. Rivals can be either friendly or antagonistic. I'm pretty sure the trailer was intentionally using original Smash 64 characters too and some of them don't have more friendly rivals to pair up with.

>and some of them don't have more friendly rivals to pair up with
That are playable, that is.
