I'm not going to be around this weekend, so I thought I'd make up for it with a bonus Fantasy Brawl Draft update.

King Dedede

Franchise: Kirby

First Appearance: Kirby's Dreamland (GB)

Why?: Metaknight may be the mysterious brooding villian, but King Dedede was the original baddie of the Dreamland universe. Well, until the very next game when he gave way to Nightmare, and later Dark Matter. But that hasn't stopped King Dedede from making guest appearances in nearly ever Kirby game since his debut. He's just as important to Kirby, if not more, than Metaknight. And because of that deserves a spot in Brawl's roster.

Appearance: Though his appearance has gotten a bit "nicer' since his debut, Dedede has never been seen without his trademark mallet. And aside from his "toned down" evilness, Dedede hasn't changed his look since day 1. Why mess with a classic.

Moveset: Dedede's known for his hammer, his ability to float (like Kirby) and his head-....Hold on a second.

Not now VGM. I'm busy.

Okay fine. What is it?

...

They what? When?

...

Seriously? Okay, wait here.

Well, I got beat to the punch. Apparently Nintendo's decided that I'm too big a threat and have decided they need to start one-upping my little ol' Haven. Well, I guess that pretty much renders today's update pretty pointless. Boy, I had this whole draft planned out since I posted K. Rool, and now it's all outta whack. Do I count this guy in my draft? I had wanted to put him last week, but because they didn't announce anything big I'd thought I'd spring a surprise of my own. That pushed Dedede back until sometime in November, and caused this. If anything, I get at least half-credit on the call.

Oh well, I've got an ace up my sleeve for the next one. Nintendo won't be stealing my thunder again!
