No it isn't. Both are generally expected to get in, it's just us arguing if in the unfortunate case one missed out, who would get in over the other.
The possible semi-clone newcomers that I can think of are Dixie Kong, Bowser Jr., and Roy. None of them have a high chance at this point, however.
I think Dixie Kong has a pretty average chance of 65%, I used to say higher until the Kremlings were revealed as smash run enemies in the direct.
I don't really think the Kremlings mean anything to King K. Rool's chances. I mean, they're just Smash enemies.
Dixie, Bowser Jr. and Toon Zelda are characters that could plausibly be low-priority newcomer semi-clones.
The biggest thing they mean for K. Rool's chances is that the games K. Rool appeared in, the less recent Donkey Kong games, are having content pulled from them. He and the Kremlings haven't been forgotten or brushed aside, and that was one of K. Rool's biggest obstacles.
What makes the Kremling's appearance in Smash Run noteworthy is the fact that it is the first time since 2008 they've appeared in a game. Many people though that K. Rool and the Kremlings were going to disappear forever, so the fact that Sakurai managed to notice the Kremlings can only mean one thing; that he has also looked at King K. Rool. I'm confident K. Rool will be more than just a trophy this game and I see playable as the most likely circumstance.
What else is there to say? Dixie is a pretty likely character to be in this game. I'm not really that worried about her chances.
At the moment, I don't think she's quite as likely as many believe her to be. She's missed a near perfect opportunity for her reveal, and there's no indication at this point that Tropical Freeze is even being referenced in Smash. On the contrary, the older Donkey Kong games are getting content. Until we see some proof that Tropical Freeze actually has an impact on this game, I think she's actually less than likely.
I know it doesn't make K Rool a shoe-in at this point, but I just saying it makes me worry about Dixie Kong
Yeah, I would agree.
Honestly speaking, I always viewed Tropical Freeze as a relatively minor bonus to her list of merits. Her not being used to promote Tropical Freeze is no big deal. Similar reason why I never believed K. Rool was unlikely just because he wasn't in the last two major DK games.
Well he is still alive, just as a bug.
I thought he exploded?
Oh yeah, he did. My bad.
Using an insect is actually pretty tame compared to some of weird ideas I've seen in other fighting games.
Oh yeah, of course!Reminded of my childhood.
I think Roy is more likely to return than most people think. Before E3 2013, he was the fifth most wanted character in the West and one of two of the most wanted character in Japan (him and Mewtwo far surpassed any newcomer suggestion, even Mega Man). Also, Roy was planned to be in Brawl and would have made it if it weren't for time constraints. I'm almost confident Roy will be planned and while I don't expect him to be in the final roster, if there's going to be a fourth Fire Emblem character (which I would argue is more likely than just Marth & Chrom), it's going to be Roy.
Ninja'd you maybe two,three days ago?
It would easily be Ryu.
For the record, Aonuma himself said that a game from before Skyward sword wouldn't be out of the question. There is a canonical Link to use for a prequel to Skyward sword known as "Hylia's Chosen Hero", who is the very first Link, born thousands of years before the Link of Skyward Sword. He'd likely be the protagonist.
Nah, Capcom's not nearly as close to Nintendo as other third party companies, so a second Capcom character is never happening, but if I absolutely had to choose I'd say the main character from Okami
Totally not going to happen. But in the theoretical situation that there were no issues with adding third party characters into the game...
And also:
How can you ninja someone replying to a comment 3 minutes prior in the span of 2-3 days?
The question is, would Ghirahim fit into that?
In all honesty, I don't think it's impossible.
I don't know...Sakurai is just adding A LOT of Kid Icarus content, I think Palutena + Medusa is possible.
I don't even think nerfed is good enough to describe it. Frankly I almost wish he had some sort of gimmick keeping him down.
You know the hilarious irony? I'm not even sure that'd balance him.
Don't tell me about all the Magnus requests at Kid Icarus Uprising's heat.
Okay.
I love how you knew exactly what I was going for.
