Bandana Dee (Super Smash Flash 2)

Bandana Dee is a playable newcomer starter character in Super Smash Flash 2 who was revealed during the Day 3 stream at Super Smash Con 2016. He hails from the Kirby series and, like, is a character who originally appeared as an Assist Trophy. His sprites are heavily edited from Kirby Super Star Ultra to give him his appearance from Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Bandana Dee is ranked 33rd on the current tier list, putting him at the direct center of low tier. Bandana Dee has a good combo game, with his up tilt, neutral aerial, up aerial, down aerial and throws granting him the ability to string together multiple attacks for good damage, he also has a good edgeguarding game, with three midair jumps and a powerful Back Aerial allowing him to fence of pain fighters offstage. However, he suffers from a severe lack of kill power, with him main KO moves having no setups and often requiring hard reads to pull off. Additionally, his weight and floatiness severely hinder his survivability, and Waddle Copter is a fairly bad recovery move, despite the horizontal distance.

Overall, Bandana Dee's few strengths are overshadowed by his drawbacks and this leaves him as a low tier character

Tier placement history
Upon release, partly due to pre-release material generating hype and creating the opinion that Bandana Dee would have been top tier, many people felt that he was at least a high tier character upon release. As the metagame progressed, players began to notice that Bandana Dee's KO power left a lot to be desired, and his low survivability and mediocre recovery was a hindrance. Upon further analysis, people found out that his neutral was less than amazing due to his below average mobility. This led to him having barely any representation in tournaments and him debuting on the first Beta tier list at 33rd
