Fixed it for youBTW, can anyone give me some videos that relate to supporting king k rool for the smash ballot? I'm doing a kool video about k rool

Another person besides me to mention Bluster Kong in smash, plus having Leo Luster as a final smash?I've been meaning to post in this thread since 2014 but never got around to. I always thought having K.Rool in Smash would be Kool, but never thought he was that likely until the Ballot where his chances sky rocketed, i still think his chances are good even after the Mii Fighter costume.
The only DKC character that would be better than K.Rool would be Bluster Kong with his final smash being
This is what I was going to mention too. K.Rool can still show off his girth and size if his belly is somewhat facing the camera in his idle animation, without explicitly being seen as "small" compared to other heavyweights. I just hope he doesn't look stumpy or squished, which is one of the reasons I can see why people prefer the PAON proportions and look.If they have his belly facing the camera like Bowser I think he'll be fine. DK and K. Rool have rarely shared space in 3D games so I don't think it's the end of the world if it looks slightly off. He still dwarfs Diddy if nothing else.
I agree. We really need a competitively-viable Heavy-weight outside of doubles. I mean, yes, I know there will always be the folks who main them anyways, Like GreenRanger with Donkey Kong, but it'd be really awesome to see a heavyweight really bring some exciting new styles to the table... besides, y'know, 'cookie-cutter slow but powerful.'I really hope people are writing in ideas for K. Rool to be a competitively viable heavyweight in the ballot (to have a 1 vs. 1 focus, in terms the developers will understand). Like @dangeraaron10 has said for a while now, we've had enough heavyweights follow the cookie-cutter "slow but strong in FFA" model and end up gathering dust once the competition amps up. K. Rool is a great chance to break the mold, but only if we, the voters, emphasize that we want the mold broken to begin with.
K. Rool's size can be conveyed by having him face the screen, and also to hunch him over slightly with part of his mass extending in the background. I did find it odd how big DK appeared compared to Bowser this time around as well, but that's just one match-up, like DK vs. K. Rool would be.
It would not be so much "vindicating" as "cathartic" for me as most of the Nintendo characters that I truly love, King K. Rool included, are heavy-weights. It would be nice to main one without having to outplay my opponent 100% of the match.It would be incredibly vindicating for K. Rool to end up as one of the best characters in the game after the public deems him to be "another useless heavyweight."
At least King K. Rool is not getting nearly as much negative press. I mean, he still has a chance.So since the Republican debate has to do with polls and votes, it made me think of who was equivalent to each candidate in Smash.
King K Rool is obviously Donald Trump. He's the biggest name out there and people feel really strongly about him one way or the other I feel. He's the big shot in the race and he isn't intimated by anyone. Even Sakurai is a little scared of him. He fell off a little from the mii costume, but that only increased the talk about him.
Wolf is Jeb Bush. We've seen 2 similar to him before (Fox and Falco) but people still like him and want to see what he can bring to the table. What he lacks in moveset originality he makes up for in personality. He hasn't been around for a while (Last game was Command?) But he wants to triumph once again.
Shante is Ben Carson. She has this cult following and some strong support, and she's kind of the dark horse in the poll. I feel a lot of people are counting her out. Almost all of those who know her love her, and those who don't like her, simply don't know anything about her. She doesn't get much attention either (Fox didn't ask Carson anything).
Shovel Knight is Marco Rubio. At the beginning. people really thought he had a very good shot. But slowly his name falls out of people's mouths, as he slowly wishes to regain the support he once had.
The Ice Climbers are Mike Huckabee. They've been there before, and people always remember them. But we all know they won't get in to the dance.
Pichu is Chris Christe. Old news, and he has a small following but most people seem against him.
That's just my two cents. I'm going to add more later.
I know, I'm dying to get some news as well. Its annoying not having any Smash news to look forward to.Dang, when are we going to get another nintendo direct? I want to hear more news on smash and future nintendo games, clearly there's something DK related in the works as well.
I haven't been keeping up with Nintendo lately, what is the hint that theres something DK related in the works? K Rool or a new DK game would make my day.Dang, when are we going to get another nintendo direct?

It's more than just not needing a waifu rubbing mini game, so not only do I not need it, it's ****ing creepy. It's very off putting and only reinforces the "Waifu Wars" insult that Fire Emblem gets, which is otherwise a very, very entertaining Turn Based Strategy game. There's patting your Pikachu on the head like a puppy or giving a belly rub to your Snorlax (<3), then there's inviting virtual people into your virtual room where you rub them sensually. Sakurai has a point about equating this to a dating sim. Awakening had marriages and kids but that was just expanding on the Support system and also bringing in kids via the Generation 2 soldiers, but at this rate it might become a full blown dating sim with some wars on the side for flavor.
In the last Nintendo direct, it showed Satura Itawa holding a banana as a tease before the new Star Fox game trailer, and K. Rool's name has been trademarked now on the DK Jungle Climber game on the nintendo e-shop. Reggie also teased a DK related thing in his workout video to the preview of e3 with him eating a bunch of bananas and playing dkc1 with a match against boss boom box.I haven't been keeping up with Nintendo lately, what is the hint that theres something DK related in the works? K Rool or a new DK game would make my day.
Funny, I'd almost say K. Rool is more of a Hillary Clinton, where he's been around forever and is largely accepted as a frontrunner, but has every other candidate labeling him "boring" and selectively feigning concern about perceived scandals that other candidates are complicit in as well (email/embassy attack cover-ups = muhrelevance).So since the Republican debate has to do with polls and votes, it made me think of who was equivalent to each candidate in Smash.

I do not know much about politics, to be honest. But is she not democratic?Funny, I'd almost say K.

Personality-wise, though, definitely Trump. He could even throw his hair as a projectile, heh.
Last I remember I believe she was.I do not know much about politics, to be honest. But is she not democratic?
In terms of the party she's part of, yes. In terms of ideology, debatable (yes on social matters, not so much on foreign policy and approach with Wall St.). But let's keep this K. Rool focused, since the votes that matter in here are ones for the Smash ballot.I do not know much about politics, to be honest. But is she not democratic?
I'd like it to be like DKC64, where he spends most of the game in king form, but then the final boss nails us with an awesome boss fight costume complete with cool new moves. However, since DKCR3 would be a sort of revival for K. Rool though, I could see them going king form by default. His boss fight better be new and unique either way though.Dedede is perfect.
Let's not deviate too much into other Nintendo villains in this thread. If K. Rool is in DKCR3, do you guys see him dressing up again or being in his King form?
I doubt they would think that. A basic investigation into the character would lead them in the right direction. In fact, even the japanese Wikipedia mentions the issue at the end of its article on K. Rool. See the reference to "「The Many Faces of K. Rool」" and "「While K. Rool may have ditched his ridiculous disguises, his intentions are as evil as ever.". The first is a quote from Rare's website describing the famous King, Kaptain, and Baron group render. The second is a quote from DK64's manual. As far as I can tell, the JP article translates both of these quotes and discusses them, concluding that these quotes suggest all three characters are the same.I sometimes wonder if the idea that King K. Rool is a separate entity from Kaptain or Baron is still a thing over at Smash Bros. HQ. It's especially confusing, as Dixie's Melee trophy makes it clear they knew that Kaptain and King were the same person, but then we have King's Brawl trophy. Wrinkly's 4 trophy mentions Kaptain, but that's the only reference to any of his disguises.
It's a silly fear, but my blood turns to ice at the thought of Rool being turned into a Mii costume because the team only used his appearance from DKC1 and couldn't think of enough to do with him.
There's only one fat green croc with a bulging bloodshot eye.I doubt they would think that. A basic investigation into the character would lead them in the right direction.

I'm sure Sakurai and his team have the resources to figure it out, if they believed otherwise in the first place. I believe only Brawl (not the JP versions of DKC1-3) claims they are different people.
I think the people who hate the My Room feature should at least realize that you can't rub chests, only their facesIt's more than just not needing a waifu rubbing mini game, so not only do I not need it, it's ****ing creepy.

I say this all as a huge Awakening fan who looked at the marriage system as a way to "breed" my army for best results which I have mixed feelings about from a moral standpoint but is hilarious in hindsight.

Anyway, back to K. Rool. I'm actually really excited about he prospect of a largely projectile and trap based superheavy. Would probably be my new main.
Man, why does K. Rool have a bunch of Wikipedia articles in other languages but not his own in English?I doubt they would think that. A basic investigation into the character would lead them in the right direction. In fact, even the japanese Wikipedia mentions the issue at the end of its article on K. Rool.

This makes it better?I think the people who hate the My Room feature should at least realize that you can't rub chests, only their faces
I was just about to quote you when I noticed your text was edited before it loaded up on my page. Neat. Anyways, I just think it's a step in the wrong direction for Fire Emblem is all. But I'm sure there's plenty of people that love that kinda thing. Be it "cultural" or otherwise.It's a cultural thing in Japan, to display affection by touch. Bathing together is seen as a form of communal bonding.
Not saying I know everything, or that it's not weird or anything, but just keep it in mind before getting all riled up about it.
Although marriage/romance with incestuous intent = ew.
I think this whole debacle is a result of fans seeing fanservice being ramped up from Awakening, and this whole skinship/bathing/stripping thing as a symptom of the problem. Which I get. No one likes seeing what they love/like getting tarnished by dumb trends.
Also. K. Rool. Gold belly plate. Who'd like that if that was on him in Smash? Yay or nay?
Yeah I agree, I don't like the direction either. I mean at least the My Room models are nice. But there could have been other nice things. Oh well.I was just about to quote you when I noticed your text was edited before it loaded up on my page. Neat. Anyways, I just think it's a step in the wrong direction for Fire Emblem is all.

Oh I'm sure K. Rool will have a gold belly plate because his Mii Costume certainly does, and that Mii Costume (as discussed ad infinitum here already) doesn't use an existing model, and some boldly speculate it's taken from a model of a playable K. Rool in the game (since all Mii Costumes are texture rips from trophies or other models). It seems like the general consensus is full on Rare design with PAON gem because it stands out better.
It's the same size but the blue makes it stand out more.Is there Paon gem bigger or something? It thought it was always light blue/diamond-shaped.
Lol, I assumed it was there due to me seeing more recent artworks but didn't know it was green.It's the same size but the blue makes it stand out more.

I didn't even know the Rare design had a jewel for the longest time.
