Kirby is 8 inches tall, Sakurai said so

>Kirby is 8 inches tall, Sakurai said so
He's wrong, we now know his actual height. Thanks to Samus's (canon) appearance in Kirby's Dream Land 3, standing straight up in the same perspective as the other characters.
>Samus is 6'3" (in her suit)
>Samus in KDL3 is 48 pixels tall
>1 pixel = 1.5625 inches
>Kirby is 18 pixels tall

Kirby is about 2 feet and 4 inches tall.
Kirby's body itself is a sphere about 68.6 cm in diameter.

Also, Ado is very small, she's about the size of a 4 or 5 year old child. She could just be small for her age.

Neat.

>dedede is a manlet
Fuck

But that's just a theory
A GAME THEORY

in the context of the Kirby universe he's a big guy

>Thanks to Samus's (canon) appearance in Kirby's Dream Land 3
how do you know its canon

Alternatively, Kirby is 8 inches tall(it's canon) and Samus is actually only 1'9" in her suit. Wherever it says that Samus is 6'3" is actually wrong.

Look at her arm.

>The man who made the canon is wrong
Fuck off.

dedede is a fucking bird.

>8 inches

what?

he's fucking giant for a penguin

he's smaller than my dick

>Gooey and Waddle Dee 2'8"
>Chuchu 2'11" including her bow
Sorry for an errors.
I'll measure Queen Sectonia next.

It directly influences gameplay (metroids) and story, she plays her part in the construction of the Love-Love Stick by giving you a necessary heart-star.

King DeDeDe is perfect, you're a giantlet.

BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY

maybe that's what sakurai calls his penis.

now I can see the misunderstanding.

is it confirmed to be the real samus and not some kirby-universe equivalent that is shorter than 6'3?

Holy fuck you dumb shit legs are obviously part of a person height? Why the fuck does Dedede and that yellow fuck get to have their hat included in their height but Kirby gets his fucking feet discluded from his height?

This is some fucking blatant dedede anti-kirby propaganda shilling and I won't tolerate it. Delete this post at once you horrible person.

A GAME THEORY

>not accounting for exponentially increasing pixel height
Put it on a logarithmic scale, I want to see how it comes out.

i don't see any basis for believing that

i dont see any basis for believing kirby is anything other than 8 inches tall

then read the op

those are baseless assumptions

>Why the fuck does Dedede and that yellow fuck get to have their hat included in their height but Kirby gets his fucking feet discluded from his height?
They don't, which is why they're in blue. The white measurements are the true ones (or in Kirby's case, light pink)
Kirby don't have his feet discluded, I'm simply looking at how big only his body is.

you're factually wrong

>kirby creator explicitly says he is 8 inches tall
>hurrdurr he's wrong cause see t-these pixels here its actually not 8 inches lmao
jesus christ so much autism

isn't he taller in smash bros.?

>It directly influences gameplay (metroids) and story, she plays her part in the construction of the Love-Love Stick by giving you a necessary heart-star.
Still doesn't mean it's canon

Sakurai can say whatever he wants but in 1999 when Smash was made, Sakurai's involvement in the Kirby series was already lessening. He had nothing to do with the very canon Kirby's Dream Land 3, for instance, he can't just claim that when the games themselves don't support that claim. It would be like Sakamoto suddenly saying "Samus is trans" even though the games don't support that, doesn't automatically mean it's true. If you use your eyes in both cases you can see that's not the case.

What does?

looks like 8 inches to me.

i guess ridley is about the same height as samus then

To be fair Smash's sizes are all over the place. Not canon.

>Being retarded on purpose
Retconned with Zero Mission

>Retconned with Zero Mission
says who

>too big in Smash
>too small in Sakurai's headcanon
kek

Ridley has never had a consistent or established size to be fair, and that was before the character was developed. Using that as a counterpoint would be like arguing that Luigi is NOT taller or thinner than Mario because they looked the same in Super Mario Bros. 3.

It's called a "cameo" bruh. Lots of games have them. By your logic, Mario exists in the same universe as Ocarina of Time since there is a photo of him in Hyrule Castle.
>but that could be a lookalike or not really him!
Same can be applied to Samus in DL3

Nah man, stuff like Link and Samus in SMRPG are cameos. The Mario OoT shit you mentioned are cameos. Quick, meaningless, missable easter eggs. Samus is a necessary unmissable character in DL3 that is tangibly right next to you. It's more than a cameo, she's on the same par as any other level-friend character in the game. You actually have to get ice powers and kill metriods to help Samus and progress with the game.Were they all cameos too? Where do you draw the line? Tell when Mario physically unmissably shows up in OoT during the main quest, pats Link on the back and gives him a helpful item, because that would be on the same par.

Is the captcha fucked up for anyone else?

The importance or utility of a character does not change their level of canon. Canon is a standard set by the creator. If it is an a cameo (such as in this case) it's canon is debatable until mentioned by the creator. By nature, cameos tend to be non canon.
Considering you moved the goalposts to an exact and specific area, I'll play on your terms.
>Link was in Soul Calibur 2. Let's assume that the canon of Link in that game was never mentioned by Nintendo or Namco (because I really don't know if it was). By your logic that shit was canon and if we were having this discussion in 2010, you'd be assuming that shit would be in Hyrule Historia.

It's a fucking cameo mate.

It's canon that Link was in Soul Calibur, yeah. Wasn't aware Soul Calibur really had a canon, but alright.

who cares

scholars

Holy shit are you dense. It's not canon, just like it is not fucking canon that Spawn, Yoda, and Darth Vader were in Soul Caliber's world. It's just fun shit the developers do. Sakurai or whatever developers and coders that made DL3 just thought it'd be cool to put Samus and Metroids in the game...for fucking fun.

What if... all this shit is actually inconsistent because the devs never really cared about them? Just like the Zelda timelines

You clearly don't know enough about Kirby's Dream Land 3 or Kirby in general to be having this conversation. You don't seem to really have a grasp on what "canon" means, either.

Kirby changes size. Play Mass Attack, he's like a pebble in that one.

But Kirby has the deepest lore.

>Play Mass Attack, he's like a pebble in that one.
That's the premise of the game dude

We're talking about the canon of fucking Kirby man. Stop projecting with your "not understanding." You have an autisticically bad mind canon set solely for Kirby that has no consistency with other video game canons if you applied those same, precise rules.

Sakurai was actually talking about Kirby's dick

>goes into Kirby tread talking about Kirby lore what not knowing shit about Kirby or its lore
>continues moving goalposts and doing mental gymnastics
what a waste of time, just close the tab lmao
even if it's not canon that doesn't fucking matter, it's the actual samus standing right there next to kirbo

what if it's someone else with a power suit?

Harumph. I'm a faggot. It's not canon. Harumph. Fight me.

Link had to utilize a BowWow in LA. Considering you can't fucking dream up something you've never seen, BowWows exist in Zelda's universe. It's canon apparently. Not an Easter Egg or cameo. Some intentional world building, no?

>not measuring nothing personell cutie-blob

See, the thing about many video games is that what you see is just an abstraction of the "reality" that happens in-universe. For instance, when you grab a coin or power-up or kill an enemy and you see a number appear showing points, that number doesn't actually show up in the game's reality. Similarly, levels and stats in RPGs don't also show up or get treated literally by the inhabitants of those worlds. In the case of Kirby presented here, I think that the heights presented are supposed to be relative sizes, not absolute sizes. Kirby is smaller than just about everybody, which fits with the 8 inch narrative. This would also explain why characters can be different absolute heights across games and series; Olimar is the size of a quarter in Pikmin, but he's only about half Samus' height in Smash Bros, because again, all that really matters is that Olimar LOOK small.

the helmet comes off you casual fuck

i don't fight faggots, i kiss them

>Considering you can't fucking dream up something you've never seen
lol

what if that person just looks similar?

But they did, 5'6 including fins.

Though it's hard to tell because he seems to be squeezing himself into an oval to appear taller.

They were in a Link to the Past, he's seen them

what if the world was made of pudding?

I ain't moving the goalposts, you states that for you, and I guess everything else in vidya, that something is canon if it is in the main campaign that can't be missed and has utility?
Conker and Banjo live in the same universe as Donkey Kong, and by extension Mario, and by extension Little Mac

That's right. Prove that they don't.

>you cant dream of something youve never seen

Bullshit, Ive dreamed I was kissing a girl

I don't have to prove shit. You just have retarded manchild headcanon going on with all your fictional Nintendo friends.

>IT NEVER HAPPENED, IT DOESN'T COUNT
>but evidence supports they do, you can't decide what retroactively did not exist in a video game
>FUCK OFF IT DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE I SAY SO
You have the purest for of autism. It's kind of beautiful, keep posting.

Please go on, be that retard who states that Star Wars, Spawn, Tekken and Zelda all take place in the same universe. Fucking idiot.

>I don't have to prove shit

>Star Wars, Spawn, Tekken and Zelda all take place in the same universe.
In Soul Calibur they do, apparently.

The same applies to your argument cornfuck. There's other factors that evaluate what is canon as I stated earlier: notably what the creator/owner directly states as well as the rules they put forth. For example: J.K. Rowling stating Dumbledore is gay. She is his creator, and what she says goes. Another example of the later would be Star Wars. The rules set forth by Lucas was that whatever is in the films is canon, and books he declared as canon are canon. If something in a canon book contradicted something in a film, the film's canon overrides the book in whatever scenario it is.

When in a game, there are threse things called Easter eggs and cameos, as you mentioned earlier you know what these are. It's common fucking sense to assume Samus in DL3 was a cameo. You're supposed to think "oh neat Samus! Cool thing there you did Nintendo." You could apply this to any two games and the average person who'd think the same thing. Let's say you're playing a Megaman game and halfway through a level a mini boss pops up outta nowhere and its fucking Richard Belmont. You'd think "oh cool a little cameo Easter egg." Not: HOLY FUCK DEEPEST LORE.

some one is projecting pretty hard

>Samus in DL3 was a cameo.
A cameo appearance, yeah, still part of the game so it actually happened. Samus was in a Kirby game, it being a cameo doesn't mean it didn't really happen. It's not like DL3 is comparable to some clusterfuck guest fighter fighting game with no real story or setting, but you'd have to be a retard to draw that kind of comparison.

>Samus
>6'3''

You're wrong

Fighting games so have a story and setting though. I honestly don't give a fuck about them, but it's there, an actual canon. You could say Samus guest starred in DL3.

How can a kirby thread hold so much hate?
Are these the end times?
Is this Zero's work?

You could say that, yeah. She's about as important as other characters in it like Pitch's mom or Chuchu's friend.

>(in her suit)
You're retarded.

I made sure to get the "neutral" positions for each character, nobody is contorting..

...

that's not Samus that's Sheamus, the crybaby irish boy

Just post comfy things.

I swear this board is full of retarded children now.
Nobody can be that stupid to go against what the creator of the character himself says

OP blown the fuck out

Kirby needs to stop raping that cannon, it's ruining the picture.

Alternatively they descaled Samus' size to fit more with everyone else.

>R.O.B. appears in DL3
>R.O.B. in an NES accessory
>Metroid is an NES game
>Samus appears in DL3

She must have shrunk when she jumped out of the game

>greedo shot first!
fuck off idiot

It doesn't matter how tall he was once, with INFINITE POWER Kirby can be however fucking tall he wants

that wasn't an actual ROB toy, it was an real robot created by a comparatively small human. ROB even looks pretty different in DL3.

Sakurai's a fucking retard who isn't even responsible for the best parts of the Kirby series, he can shut the fuck up. I'm still assflustered he was so jealous of the other writers upstaging him that he never included any of their cool Kirby stuff in Smash Bros.

Infinite power my ass

Rick and Gooey have trophies in Melee, and plenty of DL3 and K64 characters have stickers in Brawl, but those were more likely members of HAL than Sakurai himself.

>"insert shittyass analogy for being dumb"

>Implying this is a Kirby thread

It is a Kirby thread. Feel free to post and talk about Kirby.

It started with good intentions

A couple trophies and stickers suck. There was great potential for assist trophies from the other titles in the series.
Also I'm assmad that Sakurai didn't do "Masked Dedede" as Dedede's Final Smash, like c'mon dude why wouldn't you do that?

I wouldn't count the fins, 4'8 seems to be a more fair measurement imo

Well shit. Posting 2nd coolest villain that will never return. ; ;

I just wish there was an Ado/Adeleine helper trophy, it would fit perfectly and be exactly the same as what she does in the games
