K. Rool's Kremling Kutthroats: PM BKupa666 for an Invite to the New K. Rool Thread

[Wario Bros.]

exactly! I was going to post it! XD..

However, the Baron K. Roolenstein sprite doesn't show his tail anywhere.. And by the confusion with his old renders, can be the motive that the DKC Animated series and Paon went with him without tail.

Checked the Baron K. Roolenstein sprite sheet, no tail (not even the visible skeleton from the electrocuted frame).

 

[StormC]

Huh, I totally missed the tail in DKC1 and 2. I mean, you only see it for a split second so it's kinda a silly thing.

It would be cool to have the tail back but not a dealbreaker. I'm perfectly happy with the PAON design even if I would tweak some things; I definitely think it looks more fluid than any official render Rare ever designed for the character.

 

[Steelia]

He has the tail in DK64 and the Melee trophy, too.

 

[StormC]

Yeah, I mentioned DK64 earlier. Forgot about the Melee trophy though.

I like how Etika disses K. Rool because we "already have a lot of big characters", even though he was an avid supporter of Ridley, who is like twice the size of K. Rool. What an embarrassing double standard. Seriously, where is this "too many heavyweights" crap coming from? There are like four in total of a roster with 51 characters. Nobody here cares about competitive viability. We just want to play as our favorite character. GOD FORBID. Now that the relevancy argument is, well, irrelevant, people are literally making things up just so they have an excuse to bash K. Rool. And quite frankly, I hope people see through it. This is our one chance.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

In the end Im certain Sakurai would favor the PAON model. And at the same time, he will upgrade him his looks to fit with the Smash Bros. Design. Almost none of the character in Smash look like in their original games, especially the ones from the Mario series (because that PAON art looks like your typical Mario Party artwork). Think normal Bowser and Smash Bowser. And I expect K. Rool to get that treatment.
So, resuming: PAON design with a more realistic/animalistic look. And this actually should please the Rare model fans a bit too ince looking more rugged is what the old K. Rool is all about IMO.

 

[MandoBardanJusik]

Say, only partially related to this thread, but is there a N64 wii-U VC discussion thread? Thought I'd ask before I waste time digging, also super excited to finally be able to really play DK64 this week!

Wow dude I just noticed this. Such a double standard.

You also have to take into account characters like Pac-man and Mega-man. Pac-man's NEWEST design by Namco has blue eyes, while the design they based him off of for Smash was from his older games. Same with mega-man, he's updated but is made to look like his NES self. K. Rool could get the same treatment.

 

[Bananija]

Wow dude I just noticed this. Such a double standard.

Your avatar is gorgeous.

 

[Thelimomon]

Because people are discussing K. Rools design, the drawing I'm going to do is kind of a mixture of both, his original design and his newer PAON one. It will be more oriented on his old one, but will have some influences from his newer one.
Actually, I am at a point where I could show you what I mean, but I would like to wait until he's finished.

 

[StormC]

Mega Man Classic's newest games are 9 and 10 so that's his most recent look anyway.

 

[Arcanir]

Ah, thanks for clearing that up, for some reason I thought for sure he still had it in DKC3 as well.

 

[BowserK.Rool]

I'd say Greninja doesn't have a gimmick either and Duck Hunt (two character models + gunman) and WFT (strange hitboxes) do.

I feel like K. Rool doesn't need a gimmick and has enough to offer by his extremely large variety of moves and attacks.



Just DK64.

And in DKC1-3(although the coats hide it in 2 and 3), DKL1-3, and DK King Of Swing.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Actually, Pac-Man's Smash look is directly ripped from Pac-Man World, which was a design used a bit before in games like Pac-Land:

 

[BowserK.Rool]

Mega Man is the one that really comes to my mind first in this game, it's clearly based on his nes games design. Which is fine with me being how those are the mega man games I grew up playing and enjoying.

I want Ridley just as much as K. Rool. Saying that K. Rool is too big but Ridley isn't is kinda ridiculous. Both K. Rool and Ridley can be very unique characters. Those that say they can't simply haven't played the games they appear in. K. Rool is not just another fat guy and Ridley isn't just another dragon.

There are definitely some ways that I prefer the PAON design. The proportions of old K. Rool were kind of weird, but the new design does make him more brutish and large which I like.

 

[TallT]

Hey you guys TheJwittz just released a video about Ridley and said he is creating a new series on his channel where he will discus the history of obscure Nintendo characters. He is taking request and this would be a good opportunity for us to ask for him to do King K. Rool next. TheJwittz has over 1 million subscribers and this would be our chance to introduce the king to a younger generation that may not be familiar with him.
https://youtu.be/VQcz1sIuhLQ
So lets go on over to the video and let our voices be heard!

 

[BowserK.Rool]

If Rare K. Rool and Paon K. Rool were ever to meet and battle, I'd put my money on Rare K. Rool because of the golden belly which is likely armor and his bigger crown which I'm sure has a bit more impact than Paon's tiny thing. PAON is allright but for me Rare K. Rool is more stronger looking and intimidating. Heck, notice the cannonballs have no effect on him in DKC2 if you don't throw them in his blunderbuss.

 

[StormC]

And in DKC1-3(although the coats hide it in 2 and 3), DKL1-3, and DK King Of Swing.

Yeah I mentioned that above. Though Baron and KOS Rool don't have it on any of their sprites.

Yeah, just noticed, well I still say the jacket is covering it for Baron.

I never put too much stock into what Etika says. He's incredibly uninformed about a lot of things and doesn't think things through. He's a really funny guy, but I tend to watch him for his reactions, rather than his opinions

 

[SuperiorYoshi87]

I can honestly see Sakurai going with a mixture of old and new K.Rool designs. A bigger crown especially if he throws it as it will be easier to see. The body and arms based on the PAON design featuring a chubby tail like his older SNES appearances. His eyes would be a bit larger perhaps since he has the famous eye tic and Sakurai may want to bring out his popular features. He will be most likely colored like the current Rool but I can imagine an alt color with a Gold belly to reference the classic look

Pretty cool video. Just commented "Do What's up with K. Rool!" You guys should too.

OH and Playtonic Games responded as well to the same pic:

They seem to have faith in King K. WINNING the ballot!!! :D

I was looking at the Baron King K. art and noticed something. Could this be his tail?

It is his tail, it's clearly green and has the same texture of his arms.

Oooooh! I'm so happy that Playtonic at least saw my work! =D I'm pretty happy with their support too! ... We have both Retro and Playtonic at our side, it's like a dream! =D

 

[toadster101]

As a fan of both the Muppets and K. Rool, these videos bring a huge smile to my face. Keep up the good word, fellas.

This thread has become all kinds of hype. It seems like with each new day, the King's chances scale higher and higher.

For people who still don't think this is a competition:

Game on.

 

[Dudery and FAITH forever]

found this on youtube of what k rools victory theme could sound like(its very low so you will have to turn up your volume all the way up....and no its not a jumpscare)

what do you think k rools theme will sound like

I'd like to have his Victory Theme just being a re-arranged version from the last seconds of the DKC2 Title Screen! (This music is named "K. Rool Returns" after all... =P) ..
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1i8kScR43YE
But I'll take a heavy-metal version of DK/Diddy victory theme, if they go by the route of Bowser and Meta Knight.

 

[StormC]

I'd be surprised if they bothered to give new characters from established franchises their own victory theme, even ones like K. Rool where the normal one might be out of place.

Prove me wrong, Sakurai. First prove me wrong by adding K. Rool at all!

Ganondorf needs a unique victory theme, and K. Rool would if he gets in.

 

[Manic Rykker]

Would love to see King K. in the game. Huge amount of unique moveset potential, and just fits in over all

As to the bit about the DLC amount... At this point, I myself am just waiting until the end before any judgements. Sakurai has a habit of trolling after all... and steering us into believing one thing isn't going to happen, then that exact thing happens.. lol

 

[Dudery and FAITH forever]

im an eager beaver so i couldnt wait to show you guys my next project, heres a sneek peak at who i am working on next...

...thats right the kaptain is next. he should be done by tommorow or the next day if everything goes to plan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMeixcVhusw GameXplain just posted on the Smash ballot. K. Rool is talked about some in the beginning

It was kinda short. At least he's mentioned in this video.
