Bandana Dee (Smash 5)

Bandana Dee makes his first appearance as a playable character to the Super Smash Bros. franchise in Super 5mash Bros. 5. Bandana Dee appears as the second DLC character and the first new character revealed as DLC. Bandana Dee can be purchased for $5.99 for one version or $7.99 for both versions.
==Attributes==
Bandana Dee is a rather short fighter that emphasizes small stature but utilizing the spear for attacks. For this reason, his reach is often underestimated and can easily take advantage of the opponents surprise. However, Bandana Dee's spear lacks the necessary power of other characters weapons such as King Dedede's hammer or Ike's sword. To counteract this obvious flaw, Bandana Dee can easily penetrate opponents defenses with his piercing attacks with some of them even being using as a shield poke. Bandana Dee is best used by keeping opponents out his zone by stabs and pierces with the spear.
