Description My goal is to make a full Super Smash Bros moveset for this underrated and overlooked but awesome character from the Kirby series. Don't forget to vote for her in the Smash Ballot

The animation is not perfect yet, it's a bit too much static, I want to add a bit of breath and tilt her head a bit when she's looking to the right side. I'll eventually improve this in the future.

If you like it, I would appreciate very much if you would like to join the project and help me in making the moveset. Unfortunately I'm very busy, so the development will be slow, but I'd like to complete it sooner or later.

Adeleine is owned by HAL and Nintendo

Even if I think Bandana Waddle Dee or Magolor are better ideas, Adeleine is cool too!

The sprite looks good, but I think it should be smaller. It's a shame there are SO LITTLE Kirby's characters sprites. I never saw a Magolor sprite, for example!

Maybe I should try to sprite Adeleine too.

I'll try to improve the sprite in the future, I never did sprites seriously and this is the first time I put some effort into it, so the result may have some issues.
About the dimensions, I did it so big because my original goal was to show my moveset idea, and I wanted to make the sprite as clear as possible.
When I'll have some more free time I'll try to adjust the movements of this animation and I'll try to draw some more moves and see how it will come out, but I'm unfortunatelly too busy now.
If you too want to try to sprite her anyway, it would be cool!

I think Adeleine deserves to appear more often. Bandana Dee and Magolor had a lot of screen time recently, while Adeleine risks to become a forgotten character if they won't use her again... that's why I think she needs to come back.
I never got the reason why they excluded her from the franchise, after using her for 2 games (assuming that Ado and Adeleine are the same) as a major character; I hate when companies do this with some of their characters, especially when those characters have a fanbase.

Oh, I see. I'm hoping you finish her moveset, a character with a paintbrush sounds very original.

Yeah, she deserves It, they excluded her because of the anime (or at least that what I think). Sakurai said he doesn't wanted humans there, and If you play Post-Anime Kirby games... You are gona see some things from the anime (DDD Castle design, Dark Matter excluded, Escargon...).

Hopefully HAL do a Kirby 64 Remake and see how popular she is! Oh, and they can remplace the Waddle Dee with Bandana Dee... Adeleine and Bandana Dee in the same game, sounds sweat.

I'm waiting for a remake of that game so badly!
Not just that, in the beta version of K64, every other character was playable (fully playable, not just in a specific section), so I hope that if they will ever make a remake, they would make Kirby, Dedede, Adeleine and Waddle Dee (replaced with Bandana Dee why not) playable! (and maybe, MetaKnight as unlockable, like Rosalina in Mario 3D World). It would be great!

Wow, this looks pretty darn good; at the very least it looks like it could be her sprite on a GBA or even a DS game!  I'm also doing a series of moveset drawings for characters I'd like to see in Smash; I've done two so far, but I'm planning to create Adeleine's next!

Thank you! I have some moveset ideas too, but anyway sharing is always the best thing, I'll be happy to see your moveset ideas!
In my moveset, I decided to add a move inspired by Kirby Canvas Curse (the rainbow rope, B+up) just because even if it's not a move made by Adeleine, it's still something that's possible with magical painting in Kirby's world, and it fits the character (kinda like Balloon Fighters' balloons of Villager). Also, her final smash is drawing a boss offcourse, but as an extra reference, I thought that would be nice if her default paintbrush was replaced with the Power Paintbrush from Kirby Canvas Curse instead (to rise the level of epicness!).

Adeleine using the Power Paintbrush would amp up her art magic considerably, that's a great idea!  I had a similar idea about the Up B move, where Adeleine summons Elline from Kirby & the Rainbow Curse to draw the rainbow rope (similar to how Mega Man summons Rush to use the Rush Coil).  As for the Final Smash, again we have the same idea, though I specifically thought of Kracko, since that's the last boss she draws to fight you in Kirby's Dream Land 3!

Hoshi-no-Kaabii In reply to JBX9001 [2015-04-08 22:19:36 +0000 UTC]

I think that the rainbow rope should be controlled similar to Ness' B+up, or Pacman's B+side.
Kracko was indeed one of my final smash bosses. To be precise, in my moveset she had 3 different final smashes that are randomly chosen when you activate it; anyway it would be cool to have a Kracko who acts like the Cracko of Triple Deluxe, when he covers the whole stage with lightnings!
The three bosses are Ice Dragoon, Kracko or Dark Matter.
In my very old (and canceled) Smash fangame, Adeleine was going to have a drawing of Zero as final smash, with her riding Zero, inspired by this: nerdmentality.com/m/features/e…
(Cpt Syrup is another character that I would like to have in Smash, anyway!)
But my old fangame was based on a Zelda parody fancomic with crossover characters, so it was not based on the canon/ingame abilities of the characters.

Anyway, all my moveset ideas are written in this thread if you are interested:
smashboards.com/threads/the-ma…
(the text may contain several errors, I wrote a lot and English is not my native language).

About the look of the character, I would have liked to add her a little yellow bag where she stores all the drawing material (but I haven't done it because it was too difficult to animate XD)
Also, the back of her dress has a small ribbon, but you can't see it because it's on the back.
All those details are inspired by the artworks in the credits of Kirby's Dreamland 3 anyway.

I love how much detail you're putting into your ideas!  It reminds me of myself; when I come up with a particular idea, I enjoy thinking up all of the details (takes hours, but it's usually worth it)!  And Captain Syrup would be an interesting choice indeed!

Say, are you still working on the Zelda comic?  Just curious, because I'm working on a Mario web comic series that will feature crossovers as well!  It was titled "Super Mario Legends", but someone is using that name already, so now the title is going to be changed to Super Mario JBX ("JBX" to stand for myself and to avoid having a similiar situation happen again with the name thing).  Most of my related art had the old logo in it though, so I'm probably gonna update those drawings with a new logo soon.  Adeleine is confirmed to appear (maybe not in the first story arc though), and I gave her a bit of a redesign for my comic.  I'd appreciate you checking it out!  

And I'll check out your thread (I don't have an account there though, so I won't be able to say anything)!

Hoshi-no-Kaabii In reply to JBX9001 [2015-04-09 02:26:05 +0000 UTC]

Yes I already know about your fancomic, and I'm curious about it!
I'm not working anymore on that Zelda comic, unfortunatelly. I don't know if I will ever finish it, but now my skills are improved and it would be better to redo it from the start (the first pages of it especially are horrible)... it's just that I don't feel motivated anymore. It was a funny project at the time, because I took the main things that I loved in that period of time (Mahoujin Guruguru, Fullmetal Alchemist, Kirby, Mario RPG) and made a comic about them, with the goal of doing a stupid story (even if it got a bit more serius after a while, it was still a parody) with a bit of depth to keep the things interesting.
I still love those things, but my interests are changed now, so while I think it's still cool doing a comic with Guruguru characters meeting Link and Adeleine (the main reason why I put Adeleine in the comic was to make two mirror parties, Nike&Kukuri from Guruguru and Link&Adeleine from Nintendo, as they have similar traits), at the same time there are things that I'm more interested to do, such as starting some game design projects a bit more seriously (I don't know when I'll have the time to spend for doing it, but I would like to).

Anyway, since the general plot of the comic was already decided, I may do a final chapter sometimes (I was planning to do other 3 chapters, but I think I will summarize them) explaining how the story would have ended.

This said, look at this cover, it was the cover of the chapter I was working on before stopped working on the comic:
hoshi-no-kaabii.deviantart.com…
I think it's pretty cool XD (uploaded in 2009 -.-)

There are some others cool pages as well:
hoshi-no-kaabii.deviantart.com…
(Link trying to avoid his fans at Hyrule in order to meet Princess Zelda in secret)
hoshi-no-kaabii.deviantart.com…
(Adeleine at Rose Town's Inn meeting Link and the SMRPG gang for the first time - except Geno, they already meet but he was still only a star)

and funny pages like this XD
hoshi-no-kaabii.deviantart.com…
(Link tricked Adeleine so that she removed her hat, because Link thought that she was a Toad; Adeleine wants to get her revenge but she gets trolled by Link again XD)

Now that I think about it, it's a lot of time that I don't draw comics, I think I lost some creativity; I should restart sometimes!

Ah, I see; it's great that you're interested in my comic!

And the pages still look pretty good despite being some of your older work; I especially liked the cover!  If you do decide to restart it, that would be great (even though I can't read Italian; I could still just look at the pictures anyway)!

Now I'm better with the English language, maybe I could transate them in the description or in the comments soon if you want to read it.
