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

[BowserK.Rool]

That sounds like Bowser in Smash 4, and he is not very good XD

I don't know about that, I've won a lot of matches against other tough players while using him.

 

[Chandeelure]

Yeah, maybe I didn't use the correct words XD

This game is pretty balanced, low tier characters can still win against high tier characters.

I play with Kirby and Meta Knight and I still win most of the time ... well, that's probably because the level 9 cpus and my friends are terrible XD

CHANDY BAE PLZ
Hang on, don't remember seeing you here

Friends of Ye Ole Ridley thread suggested that he's very fast and jumps high for heavyweight standards and VERY laggy attacks, basically Ganondorf in terms of sheer power but laggier to compensate other trademarks

 

[Richard 89]

Kevin Bayliss finally followed our Kampaign...THAT is frick'n awesome. To have the guy who created all the other Kong and Kremling characters including Diddy and K. Rool in the first place who are now well known and loved by gamers of past and now.

With all the huge names in the gaming industry following the kampaign, we're likely to get another one sometime soon, how soon? Probably within 6 months give or take.

 

[BowserK.Rool]

I was just rewatching the end credits for DK64 and one of the names that showed up under the Support Team for the game was "K. Bayliss", hmm...I wonder what the "K." means? wether he's wanting to admit his involvment in the game or not, it's still awesome to have his support. That said, here are the big names we have following our Kremling Kampaign

1. Kevin Bayliss- Former Rare employee and creator of the original Donkey Kong Country game and Diddy Kong Racing
2. Michael Kelbaugh- Former Rare employee and CEO of Retro Studios
3. Retro Studios- Creators of the Metroid Prime games and recent DKCR and DK:Tropical Freeze games.
4. Richard Yearwood- The voice of DK from the DKC TV Show

Plus a few fav's and retweets from Grant Kirkhope-Former Rare game composer for the Banjo Kazooie games and DK64

Yup, I think we may see a new DK game and our King sooner than we think.

 

[lelelelelel]

Wow, when did retro studios started following the kremling kampaign?

 

[BowserK.Rool]

Since a month or 2 ago lol.

Hey guys, just figured it's time to stop lurking and join the Krew! I personally can't wait for our Kings' triumphant return!

They do it because they love their fans, something which I'm actually willing to believe if them bringing back David Wise and Dixie Kong in TF is any indication. How many people can say though that they are followed by their CEO?

 

[BKupa666]

With regard to balancing K. Rool, it mainly depends on the playstyle you're aiming for. You automatically start with a massive target, though, so it's not as though a ton needs to be sacrificed to keep him balanced.

Good point, I guess I'm just not used to companies doing that and never thought about it, I love retro, we will truly know if the love their fans if they bring back k rool and the kremlings

 

[JaidynReiman]

K. Rool if added would, for a fact, be the largest and heaviest character in the game. I'd say slightly larger than Bowser. He should also have high jumps and good running speed despite being a large target, because he is pretty fast on his feet. His attacks should have some lag, but not too much. The main problem with the balancing is that ideally he'd have a trap-based moveset.

Michael Kelbaugh is a former Rare employee as well? Damn, I did not know that.


EDIT: I don't see it, he formerly worked and Nintendo of America:

He DID work on both Donkey Kong Country... and Golden Sun, interestingly enough, as a playtester.

"It actually goes back to my days at Rare. Rare had various people coming over from America and Japan whilst we were working on the original DKC, one of which was Michael Kelbaugh, who is now the CEO and President of Retro Studios. The association made whilst we were doing the original game has proved very valuable; Michael phoned me up and asked if I'd be interested in working on Tropical Freeze." — David Wise - See more at: http://www.gamnesia.com/news/david-wise-explains-how-he-got-his-job-on-tropical-freeze#.VOgExC6uTQI

That's weird. I read up here:

http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/Michael_Kelbaugh


I think I know what its saying, I think its saying that he wasn't with Rare specifically, but he worked with Rare while Rare was developing Donkey Kong Country. He was a Nintendo of America employee, but he went over and worked with Rare while they were doing DKC.


"Rare had various people coming over from America and Japan"

This is the important part. Its not saying that they joined Rare. Its saying they temporarily worked with Rare, but they came from Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Japan.


Still is pretty cool. I also liked the part in the Nintendo Wiki article where it indicates that he worked on Golden Sun as well.

You know, the other day, I saw someone justifying K. Rool hate with the rationale "he sucks in the cartoon." Now that it's topical, I figure I may as well shed some light onto why Rool's cartoon persona is one of the main things the show actually did well.

--He's manipulative as hell, convincing not only DK (famously), but also Diddy and Cranky to align with him on separate occasions, or getting an oblivious Funky to support his presidential campaign because there are no waves to surf, therefore "DK is letting you down in the 'surf department'"
--A handful of his schemes are not only devious (systematically turning every single Kong against DK, staging an "alien invasion"), but are actually dark on the same level as the games (revenge on Cranky by tricking him into death by plane crash)
--They also legitimately succeed or come dangerously close in some episodes, being undone only by acts of god
--Almost every episode is an expanded version of him reacting to his minions' stupidity in DK64. . ."[Hypnosis is] something only you'd be immune to, Krusha" or lamenting about why his world had to be so littered with homespun idiots

Off the top of my head. I imagine, if K. Rool's presence in the games were more similar to his presence in the show, you'd have more people ranking him highly as a character than there are even now.

I love K. Rool's personality in the show!


EDIT:

That is something I've VERY curious about, though. Why now, all of a sudden, are they re-releasing the cartoon on DVD? I'm just very intrigued... Maybe they're planning something big for DK in the near future? I dunno...

Live Action Donkey Kong Country Netflix Series confirmed!!!...?

 

[JaidynReiman]

Live Action Donkey Kong Country Netflix Series confirmed!!!...?

Lol not live action xD. A new cartoon would be interesting, but I'm more thinking of DK64 3D/DK64 sequel and more DK spinoffs. They've been holding off on the NA releases of DKC1-4 and DKL1-3 for some strange reason but now out of the blue we get DKC cartoon DVD's, and of course recently they put them up on Netflix in the first place. A lot of things do not add up.

 

[IceAnt573]

I'm pretty sure you can thank the DKC cartoon for helping K. Rool's popularity in Japan since it seemed well received over there.

As for a new DKC cartoon...I would like it to be in 2D animation, but that would probably never happen.

I haven't posted here for almost 4 months... How are you Kutthroats doing?

I'm not sure if you caught the reference I was going for so...
I don't actually expect a live-action DK series.
I would adore a new 3D animated DKC series, though. Hopefully with Disney or Nick if at all possible.

Palutena: I'd watch out Pit, K.Rool's smart and although he makes the same mistakes, after he realises his current strategy doesn't work, he thinks of something different while improving on that.

Good job, I love the pummel idea, but if I could make one suggestion I think his crouch (if dedede's croucH works this should) should be him playing dead and his down tilt should be a Dirty swipe since there already are a lot of counters. But other than that, great job, we should have this in the OP, we don'thave a proper moveset there right?

"Rather than showcasing just a few moveset" BKupa in the OP, added entry animation and my reasoning for his Down B being a counter is because his playing dead shenanigans were to trick the player

I first tried do draw his thumb pointing at him, but it didn't work how I hoped, so now it's just his iron fist... And yet, the angle of his hand isn't right... just ignore it, thank you.

• Blood Knight: Ridley enjoys nothing more than ripping things apart.
• For the Evulz: It's implied that the only reason he's with the Space Pirates is that he enjoys killing people.
• Psycho for Hire: The manga and some of the Data Logs in Metroid Prime imply that his reason for being with the Space Pirates boils down to a sadistic love of killing other beings, which is his forte.

This actually concerns me. I'm part of a Youtube comedy team where we make fun of old cartoons in an MST3K manner with annotations, and we've almost finished DKC. (Don't worry, we love K. Rool to pieces, and almost every other episode we make jokes about him scheming to get into Smash or Returns 3.)

When this comes out, copyright hounds might get on our case.
