On the other hand, we must ask ourselves, do we really want something quite so hideous in smash bros?
But seriously, I don't really think we need more donkey kong reps. It seems better to add character that make for good fighters not just add something because a series doesn't have many reps.
Also your specials you listed are a lot like diddy as well...
Well I just noticed the moveset does look similar to Diddy's, but anyways here's the mechanics behind Lanky's moves"it seems that better to add character that make for good fighters"
-sakurai adds villager, and pacman
"I don't think we need more donkey kong reps"
-donkey kong is the 4th largest franchise (monetarily) of nintendo. Mario has 9 reps, yes donkey kong needs another.
"also your specials you listed are a lot like diddy as well..."
-whuuuut???? hoooowww?
He can handstand when he needs to and stretch his arms out just for you. Inflate himself just like a balloon.Well I just noticed the moveset does look similar to Diddy's, but anyways here's the mechanics behind Lanky's moves
Grape Shooter is slightly weaker than the peanut popcorn, think a buffed up Snake's tranquilizer from PM that can be charged a little at the cost of the sleep effect.
The OrangSprint would be essential for horizontal recovery, but leaves you helpless if used in the air. Think Wario's shoulder bash from PM but longer and faster.
Baboon Balloon is completely original. Lanky would inflate himself (insert DK rap quote here.) and start to rise. HE can't attack and the move does no damage, but would have vertical recovery on par with Villager. Another problem is that the move would make Lanky vulnerable to attacks due to how slow HE moves during the Baboon Balloon, but HE can end the move by pressing up special again, similar to Dedede. However, unlike Dedede, who is forced helpless after this, Lanky would exhale all the air which in turn would lift him up.
Like I said earlier, Barrel Throw is sort of a placeholder move, but if it got in, it would in NO WAY be similar to Diddy's bananas. Holding Down B would let Lanky hold the barrel at the cost of jump height and speed. Letting go Down B releases the barrel. Also, unlike Diddy's Bananas, you guys would have a hard time picking those up, (unless you're Villager) as they're constantly rolling. The barrels once released would go in the direction Lanky is facing. Anyways sorry to cause confusion with the moveset I hope this clears things up about Lanky not being a Diddy clone.
I know that we're getting K.rool for sure , he tops the ballot.so at least DK is getting another character. I'm happy about that.Sorry for the time off. I was in the Kongo Jungle. It would be great to resurrect an old DK Crew member. HE was last in DK Barrel Blast, that crappy Mario Kart clone involving button mashing. I believe that putting Lanky Kong in Smash will help bring him back to the DK series, as well as make Smash more interesting than those Diddy Kong Dittos everyone ends up with currently.
I basically had the same thoughts for his moveset but the Grape Shooter, I would change it so that if you hold down B he charges up the grape and at the end he spits it out at high speeds and also if you continuously press B he fires 3 grapes in a row. As for his recovery I'd only change one thing and that is to have the option of ending it early. If you were to press B while in use of his recovery Lanky could exhale the air and send himself in the opposite direction.Well I just noticed the moveset does look similar to Diddy's, but anyways here's the mechanics behind Lanky's moves

Yes I like your mechanics for the grape shooter, and the baboon balloon I would change to be a damaging version of villagers balloon tripI basically had the same thoughts for his moveset but the Grape Shooter, I would change it so that if you hold down B he charges up the grape and at the end he spits it out at high speeds and also if you continuously press B he fires 3 grapes in a row.

Until 4chan attack the ballot.Yeah basically King K Rool is coming back from all the polls I've seen. I still want Lanky Kong to get in. HE has the qualities of a Smash fighter. (No style, no grace, funny face) but in all seriousness despite really only have one real game he's in, and countless cameos and sports games, Lanky could be a contender.
4chan would raid the ballot to put anyone in. Shrek would be a character they would do that for.Until 4chan attack the ballot.
There we go! The dash attack of DISGRACE!!!Lanky Kong should get into smash. He'd already come with a really useful AT to learn:
That feel...I actually do genuinely want to see Lanky Kong in Smash......
