Social King K. Rool's Kremling Kutthroats: This...Is Our Finest Hour!

[Brother AJ]

Love it. I take it most of you have seen this?

DK's voice actor actually has a really great singing voice?

 

[True Blue Warrior]

K. Rool's DSmash could be anything from the DK64 butt stomp or swinging around his blunderbuss, to stomping his feet as a temper tantrum or doing the worm.

Great, now you've got me hoping that actually is his down-smash!

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Thought I would show this what I found

The k rool one looks about right since it would not mistake for peaches Kirby hat

 

[Diddy Kong]

The thing with Diddy is that his Jetpack is a strictly inferior version of Dixie's hair as it has no vertical lift. By comparison Dixie can glide in Diddys trajectory by letting go after a partial hover and holding again.

Dixie's hair isn't as good an underwater propeller as Diddys Jetpack though - that's his niche, as a time trial companion on water levels.

Cranky is very much a time trials character. His pogo bounces higher than a normal jump without slowing him down like Dixie's hovering, which makes him very quicker albeit much harder to control.

I don't really think Diddy is inferior. Because it feels like Diddy's Jetpack doesn't make you lose momentum as much as Dixie's Helicopter Spin. So that's why I hugely prefer Diddy. Outside of liking the character better, and from my experience from DKCR on Wii.

I see what you're saying - I just can't think of a single situation where Diddy can make a jump but Dixie can't. However, the converse is definitely not true.

A collector from Japan recently posted images of scans of a Mario manga that includes a DKC crossover.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

The Twitter thread with the relevant tweets is above. However, since the images are upside down, it may be hard to look at them. So I turned them around to make it easier.

Lets see if the rumor true that K Rool will be reveal I still think the leak is fake.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I think that if Kirby copies K. Rool, he'll just take the crown. It looks different enough so that you won't confuse it with Peach's crown.

These are old I believe, their from issue 14-15 of Super Mario Kun which adapted the events of DKC and DKL with Mario involved

I always picture Kirby's copy of K.Rool would be the crown, cape, and bloodshot eye. That to me would be perfect.

Personally, I don't see an irritated eye being possible.

 

[TerminatorLOL]

Or Kirby could wear something like that Mii hat

 

[daddledingo]

Do you think we'll get a direct this month?

 

[CaptainAmerica]

I'd guess the Kitby hat would be the Mii costume head. Would also be really funny if it was 100% the exact same model too - we'd all go around wondering if this "reused asset" was actually a Kirby hat.

 

[-crump-]

put that thing back where it came from or so help me

(..sorry, it’s been 2 years but the wound still hasn’t healed)

Pretty sure these are from a different manga. Super Mario-Kun's artwork is quite different from this.

 

[TreeBranch]

King K Rool is the only character I am 100% certain is in this game. Sakurai is unpredictable, but after adding Ridley due to fan demand it would be extremely weird to have no K Rool. He has as much if not more support than Ridley and even got a Mii costume (most likely due to fan outcry). After so many years of support, King K Rool fully deserves a spot on the roster. I support.

Why are Diddy and Dixie stoned in this?

Welcome aboard!

Unless the 22nd leak is true, I don't see it.

Assuming we don't get anything in July, I think it's safe to say they're saving most of the reveals for later, as Trinen implied. I'm gonna guess late August at the earliest, but most likely in the September-October range.

 

[TCRhade]

I'm a little nervous about the Ultimate stream. Should I be?

 

[CannonStreak]

I'm a little nervous about the Ultimate stream. Should I be?

I don't think there is any need to be. I don't think they will reveal something, and if there is a reveal, and it isn't K. Rool, there is always another time.

 

[Dixie Kong]

Honestly I wouldn’t expect King. K to be revealed for the tournament this week, I reckon Geno or Ashley would be.

 

[TreeBranch]

I'm a little nervous about the Ultimate stream. Should I be?

It will probably be the same as the E3 build and likely nothing new will be shown off. You probably shouldn't worry

 

[Nap_]

There's some tournaments with the demo around the world, I've seen some matches from Japan or France, this one shouldn't be special, there's no strong reason for expecting something, just relax and enjoy the fights.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Looks as though the two are brainwashed by Kaptain K. Rool, and Mario and DK must save them.

My God, how much grass did he have to give them for them to turn on DK?

 

[Deleted member]

Should be fun watching the stream. TCRhade don't worry, we'll find out the Kong's fate, eventually. Till then let's just enjoy what we get and the news will come eventually. Enjoy the stream Kremlings.

 

[MetroLSD]

Why so special about the stream again? I noticed people in the Ashley thread hyping it up as well.

 

[Sirfishe]

stream started

 

[Isaac: Venus Adept]

I'm honestly not expecting any huge announcement from the stream but if we do get one that'd be awesome

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Just people grasping at the clues from fake leakers. Also, people are extremely bored.

 

[Travix Man]

I don't expect any announcements, as gameplay will be enough to get me hyped. If we do get one, it would be very surprising.

 

[MattOnwheels]

SSBU On now!

[Crap-Zapper]

You guys are 5 hours late. It just finished.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I see what you're saying - I just can't think of a single situation where Diddy can make a jump but Dixie can't. However, the converse is definitely not true.

Just remember, Dixie has always been "Easy Mode" the character.

I like momentum more than safety lol

And in a way, it would be a very great way to translate over Dixie's character to Smash. Even if she'd be a semi-clone of Diddy, she wouldn't be as combo-based, have a far more save recovery, and her grab game isn't meant for combos, more for finishing opponents off. Plus some spacing stuff instead of Diddy's style of finding an opening and exploiting it.

In a way, you can compare them a lot to Fox and Falco. Their dynamics are also greatly different.

Anyway, Tropical Freeze is a great game. However I think Retro could have just as well made this a game focussed around Kremlings. Many enemies give me a Rare-vibe, like the puffer fish enemy being Puftup, Waldough gives me Klump / Krusha vibes, Walbrick could be Koin, Fluff the jumping Kritters from DKC1 and DKC2, and all other basic enemies could also be replaced with regular Kritters. Even Lord Frederick feels heavily inspired by King K.Rool. And since they kinda use Tiki-expies in Tropical Freeze as well, I kinda hope that if Retro decides on using Kremlings next time, they could base them of these enemies I mentoined, or having similar attack patterns.

Besides, I also kind of expected more ice-based levels. And 6 worlds is actually really, really short.

 

[daddledingo]

So I'm guessin no reveal?

Only ever expect character reveals from Nintendo Directs and announced character reveal live streams.
