K. Rool's Kremling Kutthroats: PM BKupa666 for an Invite to the New K. Rool Thread

[BravadoMan_13]

fix that for you but in all seriousness love sakurai and I think he is a fantastic person but yeah he does make bad decisions sometimes I hope he makes better decisions in smash 5.

That depends if he actually wants to make another Smash game at all. With all the pressure he puts on himself to make, who knows what it will do to his health next time.

As far as your question goes, I like Sakurai as a person and a developer. He works his a ss off to make high quality games such as Smash. He can make some very dumb and questionable choices such as the Ridley debacle, but it doesn't affect my respect for the man and his dedication.

 

[G-Guy]

I like him because he gave us smash in the first place.

Sometimes I feel like the hardcore smash crowd gets a little too stern about "just how the game is supposed to be", when Sakurai is the one who designed it to mainly be a casual fighting game, but with some elements for a hardcore crowd to enjoy.

For me, Smash 4 is his greatest work so far and the fact that we finally have a smash game that gets DLC support after its release is a dream come true for me.

Before you hurl your pitchforks at me, I wanted to say that I do not agree with everthing Sakurai did and I feel like there are ways to make the game even more appealing to the core crowd without breaking the casual appeal.

There is just too much nitpicking going on, like people raging about his stance on the 3 true clones, the lack of an adventure mode, etc, when, let's be honest, the main gameplay and flow is just right (at least for me).

Take it however you want, it's just my opinion. I enjoy smash4 more than brawl, melee and 64 and Sakurai is the one who made all of them possible. Saying to "hate" or "dislike" him is just...wrong and "unprofessional".

Just think a little bit about what the man did for us Nintendo gamers and be happy that we can actually come together in this very community and have discussions like that, because frankly, without Sakurai and his work, we wouldn't even be here.

It's starting to feel like this thread is the "Masahiro Sakurai General Discussion".

Well we already got K Rool in the last DLC so theres really nothing else to talk about ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I agree with this. I really like the flow of Smash 4, and I'm glad that he worked so hard for us. I may not like all of Sakurai's decisions, but I won't pretend for an instant that I could do his job better. Would I love to be an outsider-looking-in shooting ideas for Smash that would be listened to? Definitely. Could I do Sakurai's job better than him? Oh heII naw.

 

[Joeyd123]

Why do you guys all think there will be a Direct this week or next week? I would like one obviously, but what makes you guys so sure?

 

[Senselessbreak]

Theres usually a Nintendo Direct every other month. Last one was over 2 months ago now, and we are due for one soon. Plus we need some answers. New Nintendo President. Zelda Wii U news. Preballot wave 4 DLC...etc

 

[ShinyRegice]

Here's a dark question.

What Smash decision would make you go "That's a load of bull"?

For me it would be if Sakurai gave us an excuse as to why King K Rool couldn't be in the game.

Not giving custom moves for DLC characters after promoting and promising this new gameplay feature for all characters and on top of that, without any official word on why they were skipped for them and on whether they are ever going be added in a future update.

Honorable mentions: other decisions that hold back the potential behind custom moves in general (the way to unlock them, not being able to choose them from the CSS, and the lack of consistent balance changes for them), some terrible game design decisions in Smash Run (most notably Ornes, offscreen Bacuras spiking you to death, and random teleports), Mr. Game & Watch's side B, teasing Ridley's role for months.

And actually, Sakurai not explaining why he didn't want to put K. Rool in (assuming the costume means he's not coming) would make me pretty confused and upset. I mean, there's no way he isn't aware of his popularity as a pick for Smash, and after giving us a Mii costume inspired from the character knowing why he wasn't chosen is the thing I actually want to know. As long as it isn't some blatant bs like "he's not a deserving villain" .

Edit: and random tripping in Brawl, of course.

Oh ok this makes sense. But don't expect Zelda Wii U, they're saving it for the NX :/

 

[Maxoxpower]

nope. zelda wii u is for wii u.
sure i still want a King K.rool Wii u...

 

[TheGalaxyKnight]

I respect him as a person, but have a huge disdain for him as a developer. I'd rather have someone else at the helm.

Like me?

 

[Llort A. Ton]

Oh ok this makes sense. But don't expect Zelda Wii U, they're saving it for the NX :/

Miyamoto stated on multiple occasions that Zelda will still come to Wii U. But it's possible that they may release Zelda on both Wii U and NX, like what happened with Twilight Princess where it came out on both Game Cube and Wii.

 

[FalKoopa]

Say what is everyone opinion on sakurai?(do you like him do you hate him?)

Well, he gave us Smash and Kirby, so it's impossible to hate him or even dislike him.

As G-Guy said, Smash 4 is easily his magnum opus, you can see the effort the man put into every kilobyte of the game,over-working himself despite his ailing left hand. I wish he trusted his sub-ordinates more.

Of course, there are quite a few decisions he made about the game which I disagree with - Ridley, the diproportionate amount of Kid Icarus content, DK hetting shafted, etc. - but at the end of the day, those aren't the end of the world. And while we do have every right to voice our dissatisfaction (which we are doing), outright hating him for that is a bit much.

 

[Senselessbreak]

Neat article. Sounds good for K Rool!

 

[Sir Gengar de Èctoplasma]

Like me?

You have to go to a job interview first:

Interviewer: "Will you add K. Rool to Smash?
You: "Yes."
Interviewer: "You're hired."

 

[Joeyd123]

Neat article. Sounds good for K Rool!

Its sad to me that they don't want to add Toad, because they don't think he would add variety

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Personally I think that if we don't get a Direct announcement this week. We wont get Smash DLC news until October 3rd. A Direct in September would be too close to the last day of the ballot, so might as well wait until that day. And Nintendo has Super Matio Maker's release to worry about on that month anyways.

The moment I found out the Ballot closed until October, I knew there were going to be some looong months ahead. And who hasn't voted by now anyways?... Come to think of it. I believe my little brother hasn't voted still because he doesn't care that much.

Time to dust off the brass knuckles.

Isn't this... really old?

I had hope to see some Famitsu scan or something showing some new hint for K. Rool, so I was kinda disappointed to realize that it was actually something one month old I've already seen. Link to the full article for those who would have missed

A new article has been posted on Source Gaming as well, where Sakurai answers Brawl-related questions. Interesting to see that he's talking about Krystal, and why he chose Wolf over her.

On that point, with Wolf we already have some knowledge of how to model his character, and would require about 70% of the effort required to create a whole new character.

I imagine in some circles, this is going to get snapped up as "proof" that Dixie is a shoo-in because of Diddy's existing model, and that K. Rool would never be chosen. If you think about it, though, this is a good omen for us...they've already invested time and effort into whole new parts of a K. Rool model with his costume (the face, the new textures, the redesigned cape @ AncientTobacco noticed). If the demand is there (something also cited as important for Wolf in the article), why not go all the way?

Honestly it really makes no sense that Dixie is not in. She is probably the 3rd most important character in the series (sorry guys) and she could be added with pretty little effort.

The Capes are different?

 

[Tortilla Noggin]

It is amazing that she's not in. That said, it's worth pointing out that, without K. Rool, there never would have been a sequel for her to ever be in to begin with!

The Capes are different?

The zigzag pattern at the bottom of the cape has been updated to be rounded instead of sharp, on the Mii outfit. It's a ludicrously tiny detail that shows just how much care was put into it.

 

[BKupa666]

The Capes are different?

Here's a better look at the random, most likely meaningless cape-pattern change that's still a better subject of discussion for this thread than "your most hated nintendo characters".

 

[TheGalaxyKnight]

Sakurai likes to pay attention to little details like that though! It must mean something!
