Zelda hasn't had one since Melee. Sakurai didn't even bother giving us the Ganondorf we wanted, up to 2 times.
This to the max. DK got the stain this Smash coming around, to my knowledge only showing one tiny added element. . .Smash Run enemy, & K. Rool hasn't even been hinted at other than for that sole reason. DK where's your 3rd playable character for fest sake!
Diddy Kong
yeah what you just said. Which indirectly shoots down F-Zero getting another fighter in 
's series. . .
Don't put everything as "should" "No excuses" "failed badly"
No offence but your tone makes you sound very...erm idk
Having to develop nearly 50 characters, bug testing and balancing included, does take up a large amount of time. That's not even dwelling into the varies bells and whistles like the items, trophies, and stages. Everything has to be made from scratch too, meaning the developers can't simply port stuff over. On top of that, there are two versions of this game that have vastly different hardware.
Digressed a bit
Actually leftover data could give certain characters more of a chance at playability. It means sakurai thought that character was important enough to consider and even start working on them for smash. Unlike many characters that people want, that sakurai may never even acknowledge.
Ah yes but this guy is saying that it takes less time to develop a character if he has leftover data so yeah (My bad for not making it clear)
What? That fan demand is his best credential for K. Rool?
I know that feel man. I wish Alph made it in as a clone.
Ohh okay, sorry, I misunderstood you.
Nope.
What? That fan demand is his best credential for K. Rool?
I'm just wanted to know what notable appearances he made in the DKC series.
Still doesn't change the fact that developing characters isn't magic.
)Devil's advocate:
I don't think they've been told they can't add in new stuff, they just want to avoid it in order to avoid getting Nintnedo mad at them. It's a good question though, I imagine since he's from melee (and not a smash 4 exclusive) they might leave him in. I believe, Technically PM itself isn't legal, with or without mewtwo, its just a matter of trying to remain low key and not step on Ninty's toesOh man. . .Mewtwo's gonna be nominated as the King of Darkness if we go around saying that & it actually happens. Prepare to feel like a parent when it's all said & done & Mewtwo legit gets 2 kinds of move-sets to bode for his speculated 2 Mega Evolutions via Final Smash(s).
EDIT: But seriously Mewtwo needs a tune-up. Nintendo notices Project M, & they know of Mewtwo in the game I'm sure. If Mewtwo is in Sm4sh & 5, he's gonna be compared to P:M Mewtwo & result in being a 'better' or 'worse' than character.
And you were told (or could have googled), yet somehow felt you could contest it. These are his appearances as the main, story driving, villain. In others, he appears in minigames, etc. Those others are not DKC games, though. They are Konga, and... I believe some of the offshoots, like the DK v Mario games.What? That fan demand is his best credential for K. Rool?

He was the main antagonist in DK: King of Swing and DK Jungle Climber to. King of Swing's plot was actually nothing special, it basically just involves King K.Rool interrupting a Kong climbing festival and stealing their medallons. DK Jungle Climber has a more serious plot.
Main antagonist in all of them, except for the last three.
I am only responsible for what I type, not on how it will be perceived by others. Why assume something about me, and be most likely wrong when you could ask for clarity?
Communication is not one side purging all thoughts and emotions into a bucket, and saying '**** it if anyone understands that.'
I wanted to create the brigde of extreme dissapointment in the roster choices. I think I was succesful.
imo. it is unjustified
That's a good point, & I do see why Nintendo would get mad, yet Mewtwo isn't in Brawl's roster so his inclusion in a mod feels justified for the fans pleased. If players who play Brawl's mod Project M love it for Mewtwo & Roy, & if they happen to notice Mewtwo announced in Sm4sh & Sm5sh rosters, the players would wonder "Is Sm4sh / Sm5sh Mewtwo worth buying the game for me?" Most mewtwo fans would buy the game no matter how good or bad the character will be. The hardcore mewtwo fans that are competitive (this is a specific crowd) may find the game not worthy of purchasing & continue to return to playing Project M Mewtwo.
If only more people would realize this.
I think they do, which is why there are characters that are getting blamed for being a "waste of a character slot."
I really hate when people say that, though. There is no such thing as a waste of a character slot. Character slots are unlimited. The only limiting factor for characters is development time. So people should be saying 'waste of development time' not a waste of a 'slot'.
This gives me many reasons to cogitate over, but simply put: If character slots were unlimited there wouldn't any limiting factors.
Not to me. Obvious bias for the Big Ca$h Maker $erie$ aka $uper Mario and again his own creations with so much Kid Icarus Uprising stuff while giving the other big series as Donkey Kong Country and Legend of Zelda next to nothing. DKC doesn't even have a new stage yet! Palutena gets worked on more than other characters with all her Custom Moves. Dark Pit gets chosen over other potential clones. Uprising enemies, items and ATs everywhere. And both versions got a new stage.
**** Donkey Kong, **** Zelda, get money, get *******. 
Unless you want Magnus as an Ike clone, or Phosphora as a Zelda clone, neither are viable alternatives to Dark Pit. He's most likely a clone, which means he should be weighted as such. It's like comparing a bicycle to a car.
Considering the fact Ganondorf is one of the most iconic Nintendo villains around and that he was added when his human form was relevant (OoT) in Melee and considering he's a veteran, I don't think he works as an argument benefiting K. Rool's problems with not appearing as the villain for the most recent DKC games.
I'd much rather have Magnus and Phosphora as clone characters than Dark Pit as one. At least Magnus and Phosphora would look totally different from the characters they would be clones of. They wouldn't just be lame pallet swaps. I don't see how Dark Pit is more important than Magnus. You got to play as him too.
Problem is, there aren't exactly as many DKC games as there are Zelda games.
And he appears in Mario Super Sluggers
Main antagonist in all of them, except for the last three.
Magnus only appeared in three chapters out of 25. He's just a side character whose importance is greatly exaggerated.
I know that you love certain series and I agree they deserve a rep, but adding mario characters shouldn't get anyone mad, even if one is dr mario, because he would be a last minute edition, like lucina and more than likely dark pit, for roster padding. I agree that dk and zelda do deserve more reps than they have, but I think if dk doesn't get k rool, they won't get a rep at all, or else there would be too many clones on the roster imo. Zelda should get either vaati or groose as a newcomer, and I'm not even kidding about groose, he'd be the best joke character in history. Wii fit is a wii best seller, so it makes sense to have the wii fit trainers in, and the miis are even more obvious, since I'm pretty sure you were required to make at least one, and they are featured in many games. And I get the anger towards falcondorf, a main villain should have actual unique specials, which is why I am excited for custom moveset sot make clones less cloney. You shouldn't get mad over all that, because it will still be an awesome game and I will guarantee you that you will love most of the characters, so keep an open mind and stay positive!Not to me.

All I'm saying is, where is the love for the other big series? Why does bias and cash count more than what fans actually want from the game?
DKC is a series that has been shafted enourmously ever since Melee. Brawl took it the right direction to include Diddy, in a time where he needed the appearance the most since there was a serious lack of good DK games (only King of Swing and Jungle Climber where good- outside of the GBA DKC ports). Dixie was also considered, but got cut. Is it so much to ask to include AT LEAST her if you already considered her for the previous game? I do not think so.
No, $akurai rather cashes out on $uper Mario and the Wii $eries because $$$. Let's not include just one, no let's include FOUR characters from the Wii series cause why the **** not!?
Inb4 Hyrule Tier 2.0.
Dark Pit was most likely added because he was easy to make as a clone when they had the time to make more characters, think of them as as bonus characters, he's not being lazy, he's just using the time for extra characters to make the roster bigger.
What does this have to do with K. Rool's relevancy problem?
