Unless you count the arcade amchine itself but now we're just arguing schematics.
According to them Isaac's hair directly helped with this character. I'm reminded of the pink Isaac hair picture they posted.
I love your style of drawing, draw Dixie really nice, I like your image Miiverse Dixie and Krystal signature you have, what is your Miiverse?I want to follow and see the rest of your drawings on Dixie
You should get this in the OP man! It's really well done, did you upload it to deviantart?
I could add in a "fanart" section for pictures like this. I'm keeping the drawings by VT and N3ON in their respective spots because I feel that they fit with introducing each subsection of the post. Kaphonie's drawing is beautiful and they did a wonderful job on it, but since the main focus is on other characters like Wolf and Krystal, I don't think it would quite fit as a featured illustration in the OP of the Dixie thread. However, if you still want the pic posted in the OP, @
Krayon Kaphonie
, I could put it in a smaller separate section and start collecting other pieces of fanart that people submit here.
PushDustIn also says that online polling will only result in measuring the loudest fanbases, which may not reflect what is actually happening. Even with that though, Dixie's still in the top 15 out of all of the potential characters. In my eyes, that's still got to count for something.
Aaaaaaaaand the next clue posted today is a dead giveaway for Kumatora. It would have been nice to see what they could do with Dixie, but I would be completely OK with the idea of the team working with the PSI princess.

I understand your feelings, but its still stinks to see Dixie so low.
I'm not so sure given this
Kumatora wears blue...
Of course, we are dealing with the types that like to confuse or mess with their fans' minds. It would make our heads hurts to even think about which one of the two could be getting that video. I would be fine with them handling both characters, especially Dixie since her following is much bigger.
But he specifically says that it's "being mixed into the character", like it's not normally a part of their design unlike Kumatora who's dress is entirely blue
Hopefully that's true and Dixie finally playable in this Smash, and there is little to finish the ballot least, know whether all our efforts will have been worthwhile or not

I want to know from you all if that sounds like a good idea.
Anyway, in other news, there is a rumor going around GameFAQs that involves Dixie. I thought I would post it here in case people haven't seen it, and to revive discussion a bit since the information pool has been bone dry in the last few months. As always, it is a 4chan rumor, so it should be taken with a grain of salt (maybe more):
It's the classic "My friend works at Nintendo" scenario. The leaker claims that their source is afraid of getting fired, so they are being careful. They then post screenshots of a Saffron City stage.

Then the leaker goes gives some insight on who is coming next as DLC. According to their source, Wolf is next, and the rest are going to be influenced by the ballot. Apparently, the source is not too high on the information chain, as they don't have a definite answer as to who the next character is after Wolf, but they say rumors are floating about the office that it is Dixie.

The source claims that some higherup at Nintendo gave them an example on how the ballot works. According to the higherup, the ballot does not directly decide characters, but gives a general indicator of what the fans want. They state in a hypothetical scenario that since both K. Rool and Krystal are popular, then Sakurai decides that the fans want both a female character and a DK character, so he decides on Dixie as a compromise. Keep in mind that this scenario is framed as an example, so even if what the leaker's source says is 100% legit, it doesn't guarantee that Dixie will be added. But, it also could increase her chances, given that she was the character who was chosen for the example.
Personally, I question the reasoning behind Dixie being decided in this scenario (why not just directly add the popular characters, instead of proxy characters based on arbitrary factors related to who the fans want), but my gut reaction tells me that it sounds like such a Sakurai thing to do. Since the ballot is a suggestion box and not a formal poll, Sakurai still has the final say as to who gets added, and could very well decide not to add more popular characters in favor of fighters that he wants to put into the game (and he has considered Dixie before), and he could be using those factors to justify his reasoning.
However, the leak also gives a lot of safe information that is very likely to happen. Wolf is arguably the most likely candidate for DLC, and Saffron City is a very safe guess with all of the N64 stages that have been released lately. Additionally, they posted screenshots of the 3DS version, which are much easier to fake than screenshots of the Wii U version.
All in all, I'm skeptical, but there is currently no information that disproves it as far as I know, so I'm not completely dismissing it. I'd be happy about Dixie's chances, but I'd be pretty bummed about Krystal's chances if it does turn out to be true.
I never cared about it and I honestly do not understand why others are or were so excited about this smashfied thing. I mean, nothing against it, but what I want is Dixie Kong in Smash, not some random fanart.
That's probably the only fan character he's going to Smashify, they are on a Nintendo characters route right now.

Art is a beautiful thing, and when it resembles something of which we desire it connects with on an emotional level.
Only 3 of the 10 characters they've done are actual first party Nintendo characters, lol.
This upcoming character and the one after it were confirmed to be 1st party characters. Let's just hope one of them is Dixie, I want to see people get hyped for Dixie!
Its "Kaphonie" but my Mii is my OC "Krayon". :D I haven't drawn much dixie stuff recently but I planned to do so.
I find her and diddy kong really hard to draw xD
BirthNote
Yeah Its There I'm Kaphonie on everything social media except miiverse xD I don't have lots I'd dixie pics drawn tho .-. But I'm working in it 
So Bandana Dee wound up winning. Glad K. Rool, Rayman and Dixie were in the top 5, but whoever posted the link in Wolf's thread really helped him out.
If only Sakurai could see all of the hard work you are putting into this.So Bandana Dee wound up winning. Glad K. Rool, Rayman and Dixie were in the top 5, but whoever posted the link in Wolf's thread really helped him out.
Onto more moveset ideas. I'm not sure how much these posts will affect her chances with the ballot with just 12 days left, but I want to finish these ideas since I'm so close. I have a few concepts here in the hope that at least one appeals to people's imagination if the other(s) don't. Another massive post is here, brace yourselves, if the post is annoyingly long I'll wrap spoiler tags on it.
Down Smash: Quick Split
As she charges her Down Smash, Dixie strikes a pose. Her hand seems poised to shoot up while her hair curls too. With each passing second she becomes more determined to unleash the attack. And then...
ssSSWOOOM!! She performs a split! This Smash attack is a quick maneuver in which Dixie uses her feet to do damage. The attack is the fastest of her smashes, but also the weakest. While her Forward Smash has huge KO potential--the most actually--and her Up Smash isn't bad at killing either, her Down Smash isn't reliable for KO's off the bat. Higher percentages notwithstanding. Her hair deals no damage, but it does smack foes while it unravels just before she splits. The chance of getting hit by it is remote and just disrupts you in that split second before she splits.
And that's the default idea for a down smash. It fits the dynamic I have with the other 2; while the Forward Smash has her rely strictly on her hair, and her Up allows her to use her hair and feet, her Down Smash has no real reliance on it and instead the damage comes from her feet. There's barely any ending lag and almost none on the startup side. It's a simple yet practical attack, one that many fighters can do, and because of that I feel the need to show ideas that could be more unique and specialized:
Alternate Down Smash 1: Sit Spin Sweep
The cute Kong wraps her hair around her and crouches while doing so, letting her hair wrap tightly but still maintaining her balance. Sound familiar? Well it is but--
sSSSSHHHoooWOOOMSSH! She unleashes the attack and performs a figureskating move called a Sit Spin, and in the process uncurls her hair to smack foes while she spins! It's essentially her Forward Smash at a lower height, the only differences here is that you control how much she spins. Do a quick Smash and she'll spin once, charge it halfway and she'll spin twice, but charge it fully and you'll get three spins! The hair smacks foes away throughout either spin, and the one before the last is the strongest (ie: 2 spins means the first will be the strongest and 3 spins means the 2nd will be the strongest) as Dixie will be winding down momentum to finish the attack.
And here's the finisher. No matter how long the Smash is charged, the final spin will end with her making this pose. Anyone hit by the hair will be knocked away, but what's most important about this part is that the amount of spins determine how much ending lag you'll get. She'll be holding that pose for a bit to regain balance; how long exactly is up to you, so keep that in mind when charging the attack.
Like the Whiplash Smash the Sit Spin Sweep is powerful; not AS powerful but can be slightly stronger than the Up Smash, if we're talking about the strongest spin in the set when fully charged. A graceful and strong spin, and a good idea IMO, but as it is her Whiplash Smash re-purposed--which isn't necessarily bad, I have yet another idea:
Alternate Down Smash 2: Spinning Kong
Dixie balances on one hand while the rest of her limbs and her hair seem poised to strike. What could she be getting ready to do while keeping most of herself in the air?
SWOOOM-SWOOOM-SWOOOM-SWOOOM!!!!
...A Spinning Kong of course! Like DK, Dixie can pull off that Kong tornado move, but she uses it differently. She performs the attack while upside-down and stays in one place, and spins twice, but if you charge it longer she'll spin three times and four if fully charged. Like the 1st alternate Down Smash the ending lag depends on how much you charge the move, but it's not exactly powerful, and the final spin is the strongest. While the other spins rack up damage and keep you in the cyclone like Peach's Down Smash, the final spin knocks you away with good knockback if fully charged, and decent if not. It's a wild attack that highlights her savage side.
...
Those are the Down Smash ideas. While I'm going with the first one, I can't deny the other two are cooler and more unique. I felt the need to have her use a quick and reliable attack at the cost of raw power, and complete the dynamic I have with the Up and Forward as well as show that she's not 100% hair. Each of the three smashes in this post have their strengths and flaws, so it's best to pick your favorite of the bunch.
All that's left are the Specials and her "Glide". Stay tuned for it.
I'd be honored if he saw it. I know he'd have his own spin on how Dixie would play and it's probably nothing like mine, but I'd be going through the roof with joy if he did have a look at these.
